A
When I was a little boy growing up,I would always change out of my good clothes after school and run outside to play for a few hours.When I came back inside,the house would smell heavenly.It was my grandma making our Sunday dinner.It wouldn’t be proper to just call it a feast(盛宴).There would be freshly-made Italian bread with butter.There would be noodles covered in red sauce(酱汁) slowly cooked for hours.Slow cooked with the sauce too would sometimes be meatballs,sometimes potatoes,sometimes chicken,sometimes beef or deer meat and most often a mix of them.I remember we would all gather around the old,metal dining table.Then we would eat with smiles,laughter and joy.I always felt so peaceful and safe there.We always left dinner feeling full up and very happy.
As I got older and became an adult myself,I tried to make something like Grandma’s Sunday dinners.I got the sauce recipe from Dad and often I would get very close to making a dinner like Grandma’s but it was never quite right.There finally came a point when I realized what I was doing wrong.I was trying to rediscover a taste,when what I really wanted to do was bring back a feeling.It wasn’t just the delicious food that made those dinners so wonderful,it was also the feeling of love that was there.Grandma always put her love into her cooking and always put her love into her life.Since then I have tried my best to do the same.No matter what I am cooking or what I am doing,I always try to season it with love.
Each day here can be a feast of love if we make it.Each day here can be a feast of joy when we share it.

People are motivated to try a vegetarian diet for different reasons—from religious beliefs to potential health and environmental benefits.But many people have a hard time sticking with it.In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products.
“A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to,” says Dr.Nabeel Yassen of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.“We wanted to know if genetics is part of the reason,” he says.
Yaseen and his colleagues compared the DNA of about 330,000 people,using data from the UK Biobank initiative.The study included 5,324 vegetarians,who had not eaten any animal flesh or products obtained from animals for at least one year.They found 34 genes that may play a role in maintaining a strict vegetarian diet.And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to it.
“What we can say is that these genes have something to do with vegetarianism(素食主义),” Yaseen says.“Perhaps vegetarians have different variants(变体) of these genes that make them able to pursue a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains.The study is published in PLOS ONE,a science journal.
Of the three genes most strongly associated with vegetarianism,the authors say two of them have important functions in fat metabolism(新陈代谢).The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians,but Dr.Yaseen has some ideas.“One theory is that maybe there’s a fat nutrient,or nutrients,in meat that some people need and others don’t,” he says.
“Lots of factors influence what we eat,everything from our taste preferences,to our budgets to our culture.So,the idea that food choice is also influenced by genetics is not surprising,” Yaseen says.“But this is just the first step,” he adds.“More research is needed to determine which genes and which variants may be crucial.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。一项研究显示,有些基因可能与能否坚持严格素食饮食有关,但哪些基因和基因变体在其中起关键作用还有赖于更多的研究。
5.What is the purpose of Yassen’s study?
A.To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism.
B.To promote vegetarianism among senior people.
C.To determine why people choose a vegetarian diet.
D.To find out whether genes are related to vegetarianism.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,Nabeel Yassen博士他们想知道遗传学是否与能否坚持素食有关,即研究的目的是查明基因是否与素食主义有关。故选D。
6.How does the author mainly organize paragraph 3?
A.By presenting some examples.
B.By giving definitions.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By listing some numbers.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段“Yaseen and his colleagues compared the DNA of about 330,000 people...The study included 5,324 vegetarians...They found 34 genes that may play a role in...And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to it.”可推知,作者主要通过列举一些数字来组织第三段。故选D。
7.What can we learn from Yaseen’s words in the last paragraph?
A.Genes have no influence on vegetarianism.
B.More research needs conducting to identify critical genes.
C.The study has successfully determined the key genetic variants.
D.The study accurately explains how genetics shape food choices.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘But this is just the first step,’ he adds.‘More research is needed to determine which genes and which variants maybe crucial.’”可推知,Yaseen认为还需要进行更多的研究来确定关键基因。故选B。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet
B.The Rules of a Meatless Lifestyle
C.The Genetic Factors in Vegetarianism
D.The Environmental Impact of Vegetarianism
答案 C
解析 标题归纳题。根据第四段以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲了有些基因能够影响人们成为素食主义者的能力和倾向,所以C项“素食主义的遗传因素”是本文的最佳标题。故选C。
Ⅲ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分)
