课时作业(十三) 选择性必修第一册 Unit 1 Food matters
一、阅读理解
A
(2025·湖北襄阳模拟)Orange chicken,sweet and sour pork,fried rice ...Max Burns lists several typical Westernstyle of Chinese dishes that disappoints him.For a British young man who spent his first thirteen years in China,those cuisines are far from authentic,but rather a category which is invented to cater to Western preferences.
What also upsets Burns is that the view of Chinese food has been subsequently skewed(扭曲).Quite a few Westerners recognize that particular type of fare as the whole of Chinese cuisine.
“They almost have no clue about the extent of Chinese cuisine,about how it varies because people forget how big China is.It is a country that has deserts from one side,jungles and sea from the other side.Each area has its unique style of cooking,” he says.
Burns tries to showcase the richness of Chinese delicacies(美味佳肴) by vlogging(拍摄并上传) about making Chinese dishes at home.“Food is probably the most accessible way for everyone to learn an alien culture,” he says.
Sometimes,his British friends would join to help.“And quite often,they were shocked by the diversity of Chinese cuisine.They've had a long time to figure out that Chinese food is just a lot more complex.” The food adventure has helped Burns grow into an influencer with more than three million of subscribers worldwide today.“So,I can definitely say that I've changed some people's ideas about Chinese food.”
Interestingly,when Burns first started vlogging in 2016 after moving back to Brighton,England from Beijing,copying Chinese food at home was a then “stupid idea”,as he puts it,because he was never super into cooking.At the time,the videos centered more on explaining aspects of Chinese culture,including movies,snacks,restaurants and more.
Looking ahead,Burns has some plans in mind.“I would love to do a travel food show throughout China on TV.Also,I would love to have my own restaurant in the future.That's definitely going to happen.”

B
In Scotland,600,000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year.This amount of food,which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people,is almost a third of household(家庭的) waste.And food waste isn't just a big problem in Scotland.
Money,time,and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food.It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas,which is perilous to the planet.
In the production stage,some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons.Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms.They often refuse strangelooking and unusually sized produce.However,they seem to forget that it is almost impossible to grow the perfect produce.Food waste at the consumption(消费) stage includes food going out of date and leftovers(残羹剩饭) because of too much food.In households,even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.
In order to reduce food waste,here is what we can do:
Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates.“Use by” dates are there for your safety.It is dangerous to eat food after the useby date and doing so risks your health.“Best before” dates tell you how long the food will be at its best quality.Once the food passes the date,it isn't necessarily bad,but you should still check,just to be sure.
Every time you go shopping and bring back new food,put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire(到期) soon closer to the front.That way,you know what needs to be eaten first.
If you have any food that will expire soon,give it to charity if you aren't going to eat it.They will really appreciate the food you have given.
5.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A.Food waste is the biggest part of household waste.
B.Household waste hasn't drawn much attention.
C.People in Scotland waste the most food.
D.Food waste is a common problem.
6.What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Valuable. B.Dangerous.
C.Different. D.Unnecessary.
7.What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text?
A.Pick usually sized produce.
B.Improve the quality of farm produce.
C.Order produce directly from farmers.
D.Avoid buying too much food at a time.
8.What advice does the author offer to people?
A.Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste.
B.Place food carefully according to its expiry date.
C.Throw away food that passes the bestbefore date.
D.Give food that has passed its useby date to charity.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了食品浪费是一个很普遍的问题,并告诉人们如何避免浪费食品。
5.D [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段中的“And food waste isn't just a big problem in Scotland.(食品浪费不仅仅在苏格兰是一个大问题。)”可推知,食品浪费是一个普遍的问题。故选D。
6.B [解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Money,time,and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food.It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas(金钱、时间和资源常常因为扔掉好食品而被浪费。它还会产生非常有害的温室气体)”可知,这些有害的温室气体对地球应该是危险的,所以可推测画线词的意思是“危险的”。故选B。
7.D [解析]推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Food waste at the consumption stage includes food going out of date and leftovers because of too much food.In households,even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.(消费阶段的食品浪费包括食品过期和因为食物过多而产生的剩饭剩菜。在家庭中,甚至大多数新鲜的水果和蔬菜都被扔掉了。)”可知,为了避免食品浪费,应该避免一次性购买过多的食品。故选D。
8.B [解析]细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Every time you go shopping and bring back new food,put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire soon closer to the front.(每次你去购物并带回新的食品时,把它们放在冰箱的后面,把即将过期的食品放在靠近前面的地方。)”可知,作者建议根据食品的保质期仔细放置食品。故选B。
二、七选五阅读
Eating too much salt is one of the causes of cardiovascular(心血管的) disease,which kills an estimated 17.9 million people each year,according to the WHO.1.
Most people in the world consume about 10.8 grams of salt a day,more than double the level recommended by both the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.While salt is an essential nutrient,sodium(钠),accounting for 40 percent of it,narrows and hardens blood vessels(血管).2. In fact,many health organizations suggest that consumers dramatically reduce their sodium intake.
Rather than salt from a shaker in the kitchen,the majority of sodium consumed by most Americans comes from packaged and prepared foods.3. Part of the reason is that years of adding too much salt to foods has reduced people's taste sensitivity.“They don't want to take the initiative to reduce sodium if there's a competitor that has a higher content of salt,” the WHO's Branca said.
4. They are demanded to improve public awareness around the dangers of an overly salty diet and force food producers to reduce salt levels through legal standards.The FDA also announces that it plans to change the rules for nutrition labels on food packages to indicate that they are “healthy”.
The benefits of reducing salt intake begin relatively rapidly.Blood pressure starts falling within weeks for most people.5. “Your tongues will adjust to a reduction in salt,and you'll be able to better taste the other flavors,” said Branca.
A.Sensitivity to salt returns soon.
B.That's why they expect a certain amount of salt.
C.Just consume no more than a teaspoon of salt a day.
D.The U.N.'s health agency is calling on governments to take action.
E.If more salt is kept in the body,it slowly puts up the blood pressure.
F.It can also lead to brain attacks and other serious medical conditions.
G.Food producers continue to add so much salt despite the known health risks.
