[全国乙2023] What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.

According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.

【方法总结】利用语义转换解细节理解题
在细节理解题中,题干和选项中往往不会直接出现原文中的信息,而是借助同义转换、概念解析、归纳事实等方法对原文信息进行适当变换。如把一些词汇或表达进行同义替换、词性转换等。解答此类题目时,首先应根据题干的信息,确定原文关键内容所在的位置,然后找到关键信息,在选项中寻找与原文信息最相近的表达,如同义词、近义词等,最后代入题干和原文,判断所选答案是否正确。如本题A项中的simple and plain表达的是“简单且平淡”,呼应原文中的less-than-impressive,即“不那么令人印象深刻的”。

[江苏苏州2023高二期中] Breadfruit is a traditional staple(主要的)crop from the Pacific islands with the potential to improve worldwide food security. While people have survived on it for thousands of years, there was a lack of basic scientific knowledge of the health impacts of a breadfruit-based diet in both humans and animals. Now the fruit is getting the nutritional thumbs-up from a team of British Columbia researchers.
Breadfruit can be harvested, dried and made into flour. For the project, researchers had four breadfruits from the same tree in Hawaii, shipped to the Murch Lab at UBC Okanagan. Ying Liu led the study examining the digestion and health impact of a breadfruit-based diet.
“We wanted to contribute to the development of breadfruit as a sustainable, environmentally friendly and high-production crop,” Liu says. The researchers designed a series of studies that could provide data on the impacts of a breadfruit-based diet fed to mice and also an enzyme (酶)digestion model.

The researchers determined that breadfruit protein was found to be easier to digest than wheat protein in the enzyme digestion model. And mice fed the breadfruit diet had a significantly higher growth rate and body weight than standard diet-fed mice. Liu also noted mice on the breadfruit diet had significantly higher daily water consumption compared to mice on the wheat diet.
Fundamental understanding of the health impact of breadfruit digestion and diets is necessary and essential to the establishment of breadfruit as a staple in the future.“Overall, these studies support the use of breadfruit as part of a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet,” says Liu. The use of breadfruit could make inroads into food sustainability for many populations globally. Liu suggests if a person ate the same amount of cooked breadfruit they can meet up to nearly 57 percent of their daily fibre requirement, more than 34 percent of their protein requirement and at the same time consume vitamin C, iron, calcium and other nutrients.

[湖南师大附中2023月考] Strawberry shortcake. Strawberry mochi. Strawberries à la mode. These may sound like springtime treats. But in Japan, the strawberry crop peaks in wintertime—a freezing season of superb berries. To recreate an artificial spring in the winter months, farmers grow their out-of-season delicacies in huge greenhouses heated with giant, gas-consuming heaters.
The swing has made strawberry farming much more energy-intensive.“We looked at all aspects, including transport, or what it takes to produce fertilizer—even then, heating had the biggest footprint,” said Naoki Yoshikawa, a researcher, who led the produce emissions study.
Examples like these complicate the idea of eating locally, namely the idea embraced by some environmentally conscious shoppers of buying food that was produced relatively close by. They did this in part to cut down on the fuel and pollution associated with transportation. However, according to Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, transportation of food often has less climate impact than the way it is produced.“It’s ideal if you can eat both in season, and locally,” she said, “so your food is produced without having to add major energy consumption.”

In Japan, the energy required to grow strawberries in winter hasn’t proven to be just a climate burden. It has also made strawberry production expensive, particularly as fuel costs have risen, hurting farmers’ bottom lines. Research and development of berry varieties, as well as fancy branding, has helped ease some of those pressures. Strawberry varieties in Japan are now sold with fancy names like Beni Hoppe (“red cheeks” and “Bijin Hime beautiful princess”), helping farmers fetch higher prices. The most picture-perfect ones have even sold hundreds of dollars to be given as special gifts.
Tochigi, north of Tokyo, has been developing a new variety of strawberries called Tochiaika, which produces a higher yield from the same inputs, making growing them more energy-efficient. Researchers in Sendai have been exploring ways to employ solar power to keep the temperature inside strawberry greenhouses warm. Strawberry farmer Ms Yoshimura is working to gain local recognition for her “unheated strawberries”. “It would be nice,” she said, “if we could just make strawberries when it’s natural to.”
