From the food ingredients,the placing on the plate to the background music and much
more,chefs and companies in the UK are planning to change our dining experiences,and the
trends in dining out.
Entomophagy
This is a proper term for eating insects!Numerous people realize that many of our basic
高一英语第2页(共8页)
food may disappear in the coming decades and insects can offer people good protein (
to replace animal meats,so they believe insects are a good choice.It hasn't quite happened yet
because we all think insects are extremely unpleasant.But,many chefs are already
experimenting in the field.A number of top chefs in London are using their cooking creativity
to turn something unpleasant into something delicious.
Tech at the Table
Digital products will probably become a common part of our food and drink experiences in
the near future.We're going to see things like tablets and computer screens that can tell
stories around the food we are eating.We'll be able to change the color of plates digitally,
because we know that colors can change the taste of food or make it look better.
The Experimental Meal
The experimental meal is liked by a growing number of people interested in finding new
connections between their senses.They think that food is not just what goes into the mouth,
but a whole experience.They're seeing dining-music,lighting,staff uniforms,
temperature changes-as a whole meal.They are trying to put different things together:
instead of having dinner and then going to the theatre,why not bring the two together?The
same goes for cinema and music.
21.What is the reason for some people to turn to insects for food?
A.The better taste of protein from insects.

Robin Emmons has grown more than 26,000 pounds of vegetables to help more than 72,
000 people in Charlotte,North Carolina,who have no way to get fresh healthy food.Access to
fresh food is an issue for many communities throughout the United States.According to the
Department of Agriculture,nearly 10%of the U.S.population live in low-income areas more
than a mile from a supermarket.For residents who lack transportation,buying fresh food is
even more difficult.
Discovering this problem inspired something inside Emmons,who quit her job to devote
herself to a more meaningful thing.She said,"I decided to plant vegetables in my whole
backyard,and it just kind of snowballed from there."Today,Emmons has 200 volunteers
helping her tend 9 acres of vegetables on three sites.Since 2008,she says,her nonprofit
organization,Sow Much Good,has grown more than 26,000 pounds of fresh produce for
underserved communities in Charlotte.
Customers greatly appreciate all that Emmons and her group are doing.She tries to make
her produce as affordable as possible.Since Bolin discovered Emmons'produce stand this
summer,she has visited it regularly."I really appreciate all the beautiful and fresh
vegetables,"said Bolin,38."It's making me and my family healthier."Keeping it going is a
高一英语第3页(共8页)
labor of love for Emmons,who spent years doing it for free.Since last week,she has taken a
small salary(薪水).
Emmons would love to expand her organization across the country,changing food deserts
wherever they exist.For now,she's devoted to helping Charlotte residents."When I see
people coming to the farm stand,I feel encouraged,"she said."I feel like I am giving them a
gift-a healthier,longer and better life."
24.Who may need Emmons'help most?

D.People living near supermarkets.
25.Why did Emmons leave her job?
A.She wanted to help others.
B.She was tired of her job.
C.She liked planting vegetables.
D.She wanted to earn money.
26.What is the most important effect of Emmons'deeds?

B.More vegetables are accessible.
C.She wins worldwide popularity.

When making decisions,most people view cost as an important consideration.While price
is undoubtedly important,what about some hidden costs that also come into play?For
example,what are the long-term effects of your decision?Have you considered how your
decision impacts your relationships?Simply put,hidden costs may be invisible to the naked
eye,but they're very visible (to your wallet.Ignoring these factors can cost you a
lot.
Consider a scene where a manager cuts costs by asking some workers to leave.While this
move reduces salary expenses,how will it impact the morale (and loyalty of the
remaining employees?Similarly,imagine somebody spending hours surfing the web,lost in
searching for cheaper things.The question is whether the savings equal the spent time.If cost
is your only consideration,you'll pay the price.Price Isn't the Only Cost!
Furthermore,even if cost is the only factor in your decision-making,all of the "true
costs"should be considered.For example,if you're thinking about buying new technology,
the equipment cost is only part of the price.People will need training,the software may need
customization,and you'll probably lose productivity until people get up to speed.Those are
real costs too.
In addition,even when price is the main consideration,it's important to tell the
difference between price and value.For example,when you're investing in a high-quality
product from a famous organization,compare maintenance (and repair costs with its
competitors,assess the product life span,and hear what existing customers have to say.As
the old saying goes,“You get what you pay for..”
Always keep in mind that every time you say "yes"to one thing,you're certainly saying
"no"to another.So,in decision-making,always consider invisible costs.This ensures you'
re aiming for the best solution rather than a good one.After all,choices are easy.The tough
part is living with them.
28.What does the underlined phrase "come into play"in paragraph 1 mean?
高一英语第4页(共8页)

B.Play a part.
C.Come into use.
D.Play around.
29.What may be the hidden cost of firing workers?
A.Reducing salary expenses.
B.Cutting costs of the company.
C.Doing wonders for the workers'morale.
D.Discouraging the remaining workers.
30.How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By giving examples.
B.By listing figures.
C.By using space order.
D.By explaining concepts.
31.What can we learn from this passage?
A.You get what you pay for.
B.Price is the main consideration.
C.Considering the best solution is easy.
D.Be thoughtful when making decisions.

As cities balloon with growth,visits to zoos provide an increasingly important
opportunity for contact with other species.Though zoos were originally created to help people
learn about animals that they had never seen,zoos have a serious role as conservation()
organizations.Many zoos consider conservation education to be important,and hope to
encourage positive attitudes toward animal conservation among their visitors.
Traditionally,zoos educate visitors by displaying information.Zoos often attach boring
signs to exhibits,describing an animal's habitat and lifestyle in the wild as well as whether or
not the species is endangered.But recently,psychological research has shown that vivid
emotional experiences not only attract more attention,they are also better remembered.The
scary or funny animal exhibits at the zoo encourage people to pay more attention to
information about the animals than they would pay to a written description.
The majority of zoo visitors come with family members or on school field trips.Social
interactions are thus a key part of the zoo visit.And when people are looking at the animals,
there seems to be a tendency to tell what they see to others.In my research at zoos,I found
that almost nine out of ten visitors would share their observations of an animal by pointing it
out to their companions,or simply by saying "look!".Social interactions like these are
opportunities to create and communicate shared values.Parents who stand in front of an
animal exhibit and say "The mommy is looking after her baby."or even "Look at that!"is
giving their children a reason to care about the animal.
Zoos can create a culture of conservation.The best exhibits should be the ones that place
animals in their natural habitats,where people care for their needs.In this way zoos can help
to prevent the disappearance of wild animals from our sight and from our minds.
32.What was the original purpose of building the zoo?
A.To feed the animals.
B.To meet people's curiosity.
C.To bring entertainment to kids.
D.To save endangered animals.
33.What is the author's attitude towards the zoo's traditional way of education?
A.Uninterested.
B.Positive.
C.Negative.
D.Unclear.
34.What do people tend to do when appreciating animals?
A.They shout to animals.
B.They offer their food.
C.They take photos of animals.
D.They share what they see.
35.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.The Zoo Attracts People to Visit Animals.
B.Communicate with Nature in the Zoo.

C.The Zoo Offers Protection to Animals.
D.Learn to Care About Animals in the Zoo.

Art isn't always an easy and straightforward thing to understand,and it can be hard to
appreciate because it has been seen as something that only particularly educated or wealthy
people can enjoy.36.Anyone can come to appreciate art with a little bit of time and effort.
Understand the art and then go a step deeper to understand the artists,their intentions
and the historical backgrounds.Artists often create works to comment on major historical
events.37.For example,Pablo Picasso's Guernica (1937)was created in response to the
bombings during the Spanish Civil War.It's filled with anti-war symbolism.Picasso said of
the artwork,"Painting is not done to decorate apartments.It is an instrument of war against
cruelty and darkness."
38.Art movements grow from popularity of certain ways of creating art.An art
school is basically a group of artists,sometimes all in the same region,who all have a similar
style or subject matter.Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist
might have made certain choices.For example,painters,in the Egyptian school of art had
certain rules that they had to follow-like the size of any figure they drew was supposed to
vary based on the social status of the person they were painting.39.Each one symbolized
a different aspect of life or death.
Check out the life experiences of the artists.Learning a bit about the artists who created a
piece can help understand it in a variety of ways.It can help you understand why they made
certain artistic decisions.40.She had limited mobility after fighting against a serious
disease and suffering a bus accident in her early life.Her pain and struggle appears in several
of her pieces.
A.But our tips will give you a new way
B.Art movements sometimes inspired artists
C.They also couldn't use more than six colors
D.However,this couldn't be further from the truth
E.This can give you a window into their unique opinion

Frank had just adapted to his new life in China.Among the many exciting experiences,he
struck up a close friendship with Li Ming,a local student.
One Saturday,Li Ming invited Frank to try traditional Chinese food,steamed
dumplings,for lunch.Eager to experience the local culture,Frank delightedly accepted the
invitation.The moment Frank arrived,Li Ming,along with his mother,Mrs.Zhou greeted
him warmly at the door.Inside the house,a cute cat was playing,adding a touch of liveliness
to the already joyous occasion.
Then they gathered in the kitchen to make steamed dumplings together.Li Ming prepared
the filling,while Mrs.Zhou taught Frank how to make dumpling wrappers.Mrs.Zhou gently
instructed Frank,"The dough (should not be too wet or sticky,and rolling the
dumpling wrappers requires most care to ensure the same thickness."Everything going
smoothly,the steamed dumplings were ready.
Suddenly,an unexpected incident occurred when Frank offered to set the table in the
dining room.As Frank put a plate on the table,his hand slipped.With a loud crash,the plate
fell onto the floor,scattering dipping sauce everywhere.In panic,Frank stood rooted to the
spot with his mind completely blank.Mrs.Zhou rushed out of the kitchen.With Mrs.Zhou's
caring eyes fixed on him,Frank was too ashamed to tell the truth.Seeing the cat nearby,
Frank stammered,"It was the cat."Mrs.Zhou smiled gently,"It happens.The cat is always
energetic and naughty."Li Ming laughed,"Never mind."Mrs.Zhou quickly cleaned up the
mess with her son.
The steamed dumplings were delicious.Li Ming and his mother were trying their best to
make Frank feel at home.However,it was hard for Frank to really enjoy the food,because he
lied to his good friend's mother and his friend!Finally,Frank said goodbye to the friendly
family and left with his secret.
