Unit 1 Food for thought 食物与思考（话题阅读精练） 英语外研版2019必修第二册

Unit 1 Food for thought食物与思考 话题阅读精练 时文拓展阅读 Food is an essential part of our lives, not just for survival but also for cultural and social reasons. In Italy, pasta is more than just a dish. There are various types of pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, and ravioli. Each region in Italy has its own unique pasta recipes and cooking styles. Spaghetti is often paired with tomato - based sauces, while penne might go well with a meat - based sauce. The Italians take great pride in their pasta - making traditions. Families pass down recipes from generation to generation. Making pasta from scratch is a time - consuming but rewarding process. It involves mixing flour, eggs, and sometimes water to create the dough, and then shaping it into different forms. In contrast, Japanese cuisine is known for its fresh and delicate flavors. Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. The key to good sushi lies in the quality of the ingredients. The fish needs to be extremely fresh, and the rice should be cooked to the perfect texture. Moreover, food can also bring people together. In many cultures, sharing a meal is a way to strengthen relationships. Whether it's a big family dinner in China during the Spring Festival or a barbecue with friends in the United States, food plays an important role in social gatherings. 语篇翻译： 食物是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，它不仅关乎生存，还具有文化和社会意义。在意大利，意大利面不仅仅是一道菜肴。意大利面有多种类型，比如意大利细面条、直管面和意大利方形饺。意大利的每个地区都有其独特的意大利面食谱和烹饪风格。意大利细面条通常搭配番茄酱，而直管面可能与肉酱搭配得很好。 意大利人对他们制作意大利面的传统深感自豪。家庭将食谱代代相传。从零开始制作意大利面是一个耗时但值得的过程。这包括将面粉、鸡蛋，有时还有水混合制成面团，然后将其塑造成不同的形状。 相比之下，日本料理以其新鲜和细腻的口味而闻名。寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。美味寿司的关键在于食材的质量。鱼需要非常新鲜，米饭的口感也要恰到好处。 此外，食物还能把人们聚集在一起。在许多文化中，共享一顿饭是加强人际关系的一种方式。无论是中国春节期间的家庭聚餐，还是美国朋友间的烧烤聚会，食物在社交场合中都扮演着重要角色。 重点词汇： essential [ɪˈsenʃl] adj. 基本的；必要的 pasta [ˈpæstə] n. 意大利面 recipe [ˈresəpi] n. 食谱；秘诀 cuisine [kwɪˈziːn] n. 烹饪；菜肴 delicate [ˈdelɪkət] adj. 精致的；细腻的 ingredient [ɪnˈɡriːdiənt] n. 原料；要素 texture [ˈtekstʃə(r)] n. 质地；口感 长难句分析： Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. 抓标志：关系代词 that。 判类型：主句（Sushi is a popular Japanese dish） + 定语从句（that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice），修饰先行词 dish。 试翻译：寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。 高考真题链接 （2025·浙江·高考真题B篇）When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 24．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A．She is upset by her kids’ weight. B．She is critical of the way she was fed. C．She is interested in making food. D．She is particular about what she eats. 25．Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A．Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B．Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C．Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D．Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 26．What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A．Make diet decisions on their own. B．Share their food with other kids. C．Eat up what is provided for them. D．Help their parents do the dishes. 27．What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A．Costly. B．Complex. C．Workable. D．Contradictory. 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者自己因童年时被灌输饮食观念而影响了与食物的关系，心理学家建议家长在饮食上少干预，作者尝试策略后发现孩子能做更好的饮食决策。 24． B 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这真的搞砸了我与食物的关系 —— 这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题)”可知，作者童年时被灌输的饮食观念对其产生了负面影响，由此可推断出，作者对自己童年时被喂养的方式持批判态度。故选B项。 25． C 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. ‘There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法，食物是为数不多的家长说得少反而更好的话题之一。“在育儿方面，有很多事情值得深入讨论，但我不认为食物是其中之一，”她说。“这只会给孩子们带来一些不必要的担忧和不安全感，这并不健康。”)”可知，马基不赞成家长和孩子过多谈论食物相关的话题，而向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物的话题，所以马基不会赞成。故选C项。 26． A 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即‘责任划分’，在这个概念中，家长在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多)”可知，根据“责任划分”，孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选A项。 27． C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实会做出更好的决策)”可知，孩子们确实会做出更好的决策，所以作者会认为自己所遵循的策略是可行的。故选C项。 Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. 抓标志：关系副词 “where”；并列连词 “and”；从属连词 “even if” 判类型：主句（she recommends applying...called the “Division of Responsibility”）后接定语从句（where...carrots），定语从句由 and 连接的两个并列分句组成（parents provide... 和 the kids themselves decide...），第二个分句中包含宾语从句（what and how much they want to consume）；破折号后是让步状语从句（even if that means...carrots） 试翻译：相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即 “责任划分”，在这个概念中，父母在固定时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多。 mess up 搞砸；破坏 take years to overcome 花多年时间克服 connect...with... 把…… 和…… 联系起来 dissuade sb. from... 劝阻某人做…… have an unintentionally negative impact 产生无意的负面影响 talk through 充分讨论；详细探讨 create worries and insecurities 造成担忧和不安全感 a variety of 各种各样的 fixed times 固定时间 have control over 对…… 有控制权 try out strategies 尝试策略 less restrictive 不那么严格限制 综合实战演练 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·广西玉林·开学考试）Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them. The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy. Actually, plain instant noodles aren’t terrible. They’re fried during production (which adds some oil and calories), but they fill you up well and provide quick energy when you’re hungry. To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal! So, are instant noodles junk food? If prepared lazily with all the seasoning and no extras, yes. But when cooked with less seasoning plus veggies and protein, they become a decent occasional meal. Remember: the secret is variety. Enjoy them once or twice a week as part of a diverse diet, and they won’t harm your health. They’re far less scary than people think — just upgrade your cooking method! 1．What determines if instant noodles are unhealthy? A．Their quick cooking time. B．The time of eating. C．The preparation method. D．The junk food label. 2．What is the major cause of unhealthy instant noodles? A．The dried noodles. B．The flavor packets. C．Using boiling water. D．People avoiding cooking. 3．What is the main purpose of the third paragraph? A．Warn about health dangers. B．Give cooking instructions. C．Argue noodles are harmless. D．List harmful additives. 4．What is the suitable title for the passage? A．Instant Noodles: Not All Waste. B．Instant Noodles: How to Cook? C．Instant Noodles: Eat Sometimes. D．Instant Noodles: What we know? 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了方便面是否属于不健康食品的争议，指出其健康性取决于烹饪方式。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.(事实上，它们是否不健康完全取决于你如何制备它们。)”可知，方便面是否不健康取决于制备方式。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy.(主要问题不在于面条本身，而在于人们制作面条的常见方式：将沸水倒在干面条上，并加入所有咸味调料包。这些调味包含有高含量的盐和人工添加剂，使这种版本不平衡和不健康。)”可知，方便面健康风险的核心诱因在于调味包中过量的钠盐与人工合成添加剂。故选B。 3． 推理判断题。根据第三段“To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal!为了使它们更健康，请正确烹饪：先煮面条，沥干多余的淀粉水，然后用淡水或肉汤。至关重要的是，只使用一半的调味料包来减少盐的摄入。烹饪时加入菠菜或胡萝卜等蔬菜和鸡蛋或豆腐等蛋白质。这可以增加维生素和蛋白质，同时减少钠的摄入。这使它们变成了一顿均衡的饭菜！)”可知，作者通过分步说明详细解释了如何通过调整烹饪方式使其更均衡，所以本段目的是给出正确的烹饪指导。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第一段“Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.(方便面是人们不想做饭时最喜欢的快餐。想象一下在暴风雨的夜晚边看电视边吃它们的情景——纯粹的安慰！但许多人认为它们只是危害健康的垃圾食品。事实上，它们是否不健康完全取决于你如何制备它们。)”等内容可知。文章主要讨论了方便面是否属于不健康食品的争议，指出其健康性取决于烹饪方式。所以选项A. Instant Noodles: Not All Waste.(方便面：并非全无是处)最能概括文意，适合用作标题。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·重庆·期末）At a time when Americans consume more than half of their daily calories from ultra-processed (超加工的) foods, there is increasing evidence showing that eating too much of these foods can make us sick. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and certain cancers. The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies. Ultra-processed foods are ubiquitous in our food supply. Among the most common are highly refined breads, fast food, sugary drinks, cookies, and other packaged snacks. They are often high in salt, sugar, fat and calories and low in fiber and micro-nutrients such as vitamins. Although no evidence proves that consumption of ultra-processed foods can directly cause anxiety, cancer or other health conditions, a growing body of evidence shows that ultra-processed foods contribute to the development of these conditions. A study published last year found people in the habit of consuming high levels of ultra-processed foods were about three times more likely to develop cancer, compared to those who consumed the least. When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, a French study showed that adults who maintained an unhealthy diet had more depressive symptoms. “We saw a roughly 20 to 50% increased risk of depressive symptoms in people who had diets that were high in ultra-processed foods,” says Wolfgang Marx, a researcher. A panel of advisors is currently evaluating all the latest diet and nutrition studies as part of a process to update the country’s Dietary Guidelines. It is possible that they could recommend limits on ultra-processed foods. On the regulatory side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving ahead to finalize a new definition of the term “healthy”. The FDA says a “healthy” claim on food labels could help consumers identify healthier choices with a quick look and may encourage food companies to improve their products. 1．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Nutritious. B．Cheap. C．Widespread. D．Profitable. 2．What did the study published last year find regarding ultra-processed foods? A．They improve emotional stability. B．They cause health decline. C．They trigger immediate reactions. D．They lower nutritional value. 3．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Future plans from food companies. B．New guidelines for food sales. C．Limits on ultra-processed foods. D．Responses to ultra-processed foods. 4．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．A health magazine. B．A biology report. C．A hospital leaflet. D．A food advertisement. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了超加工食品对健康的潜在危害，包括与癌症、焦虑、抑郁等疾病的相关性，并提到美国正在通过更新饮食指南和食品标签政策来应对这一问题。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Ultra-processed foods are ubiquitous in our food supply. Among the most common are highly refined breads, fast food, sugary drinks, cookies, and other packaged snacks.(超加工食品在我们的食品供应中ubiquitous。其中最常见的有高度精制的面包、快餐、含糖饮料、饼干以及其他包装零食)”以及后文列举了高度精制面包、快餐、含糖饮料、饼干和其他包装零食等超加工食品，均为日常生活中常见的食物，说明超加工食品在食品供应中普遍存在。故划线词意思是“普遍的”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“A study published last year found people in the habit of consuming high levels of ultra-processed foods were about three times more likely to develop cancer, compared to those who consumed the least.(去年发表的一项研究发现，经常大量食用超加工食品的人患癌的可能性是很少食用此类食品的人的三倍之多)”可知，去年发表的那项研究对于超加工食品的结论是它们会导致健康状况恶化。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“A panel of advisors is currently evaluating all the latest diet and nutrition studies as part of a process to update the country’s Dietary Guidelines. It is possible that they could recommend limits on ultra-processed foods. On the regulatory side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving ahead to finalize a new definition of the term “healthy”. The FDA says a “healthy” claim on food labels could help consumers identify healthier choices with a quick look and may encourage food companies to improve their products.(一个顾问小组目前正在对所有最新的饮食和营养研究进行评估，这是更新国家《膳食指南》过程的一部分。他们有可能会建议对超加工食品设定限制。在监管方面，食品药品监督管理局（FDA）正在推进以最终确定“健康”一词的新定义。FDA 表示，在食品标签上标注“健康”信息能够帮助消费者通过快速查看就识别出更健康的选择，并可能促使食品公司改进其产品)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是对超加工食品的反应。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“At a time when Americans consume more than half of their daily calories from ultra-processed (超加工的) foods, there is increasing evidence showing that eating too much of these foods can make us sick. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and certain cancers. The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies.(在当下，美国人每日摄入的热量中有超过一半来自超加工食品。越来越多的证据表明，过量食用这类食品会让我们生病。《英国医学杂志》近期发表的一项研究发现，摄入此类食品较多的人患焦虑症、抑郁症以及某些癌症的风险会增加。这些数据来自参与了数十项研究的超过900万人)”以及全文围绕超加工食品的健康风险、研究发现及应对措施展开，内容面向大众，语言通俗易懂，旨在普及健康知识。故文章选自一本健康类杂志。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·全国·课后作业）Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cooking traditions are so important to your culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On a personal level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us connect food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding special and personal value for us. On a larger level, food is an important part of culture. Traditional food is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity (文化认同). Immigrants (移民) bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of keeping their culture when they move to new places. In addition, each country or community’s unique cuisine can reflect its history, values and so on. In China, harmony is an important quality in almost every part of life. This is mirrored in Chinese food, where almost every flavour is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavours that go well together. The food of the United States also mirrors its history. The European colonization (殖民) of the Americas brought European ingredients and cooking styles to the US. As the world becomes more globalized (全球化), it is easier to get food from different cultures. We should not only hug our tradition through our culture’s food but we should also know more about other cultures by trying their foods. It’s important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. 1．What does the author want to express in paragraph 1? A．Different types of food in foreign countries. B．Concern about food and culture. C．Connections between food and culture. D．The relationship between culture and people. 2．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Traditional food. B．Traditional culture. C．One generation. D．Childhood. 3．How is paragraph 4 developed? A．By giving examples. B．By making a comparison. C．By describing a process. D．By following time order. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Creating delicious food is a way of keeping culture. B．European settlers liked cooking food in American styles. C．Food mirrors all the changes in a country’s history. D．Chinese people usually do things in a balanced way. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍食物与文化之间存在紧密联系，以及食物在文化中的重要意义。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.(食物和文化之间的联系比你想象的要多)”可知，作者在第一段想要表达食物和文化之间的联系。故选C项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“On a larger level, food is an important part of culture. Traditional food is passed down from one generation to the next.(从更广泛的层面来说，食物是文化的重要组成部分。传统食物代代相传)”以及“It also operates as an expression of cultural identity.(它也是文化认同的一种表达)”可知，传统食物代代相传，所以传统食物也是文化认同的一种表达形式，由此可知，“It”指代前文提到的“Traditional food”。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“In addition, each country or community’s unique cuisine can reflect its history, values and so on. In China, harmony is an important quality in almost every part of life. This is mirrored in Chinese food, where almost every flavour is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavours that go well together. The food of the United States also mirrors its history. The European colonization (殖民) of the Americas brought European ingredients and cooking styles to the US. (此外，每个国家或社区的独特饮食都能反映其历史、价值观等。在中国，和谐几乎是生活各个方面的重要特质，这一点在中餐中得到了体现——几乎每种味道的运用都力求平衡，从而创造出各种风味相得益彰的美味菜肴。美国的饮食同样也反映了其历史。欧洲对美洲的殖民将欧洲的食材和烹饪风格带到了美国)”可知，本段以中国的和谐理念以及美国的历史背景为例, 论述了饮食和文化之间的联系, 即饮食能反映某一群体的历史和价值观等，由此可知, 第四段是通过举例展开的。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In China, harmony is an important quality in almost every part of life. This is mirrored in Chinese food, where almost every flavour is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavours that go well together.(在中国，和谐几乎是生活各个方面的重要特质，这一点在中餐中得到了体现——几乎每种味道的运用都力求平衡，从而创造出各种风味相得益彰的美味菜肴)”可知，中国人通常用一种平衡的方式做事。故选D项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二下·内蒙古赤峰·期末）I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, where an amazingly rich cooking tradition that has been perfected for thousands of years taught me the love of good food. Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America! I have Armenian heritage, which means that I have recipes passed down to me from my mother. I got my love of cooking from her. My two children have had the chance to enjoy food from everywhere in the world. They don’t find it remarkable at all that in the same week, they could go on a worldwide cuisine journey that could include sushi, samosas, tamales, and tabboulch. Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city. A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood. When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet. 1．What can we learn about the author’s childhood food experience? A．She was exposed to global cuisines early. B．She rarely had chance to try foreign foods. C．She didn’t like Lebanese cooking traditions. D．She was affected by family’s cooking habits. 2．The rich food experiences allow the author’s children to ______. A．become picky caters B．improve cooking skills C．develop cultural appreciation D．value family heritage 3．Why does the author mention pasta and fried eggs in paragraph 3? A．To illustrate the link between food and health. B．To explain Canadians’ simple food vocabulary. C．To show Italians’ attitude toward healthy food. D．To state different food values between cultures. 4．Which can best describe UBC’s current food culture? A．Nutritious. B．Healthy. C．Diverse. D．Tasty. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者在黎巴嫩贝鲁特长大，受母亲影响热爱烹饪，移居后孩子能享全球美食。食物反映文化，英属哥伦比亚大学校园饮食需改进，可借其促进文化理解与环保。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America! (然而，在我成长的那个时代，全球化尚未触及厨房餐桌，我对这里人们习以为常的各种美食种类的了解十分有限。我之前从未吃过鳄梨酱，直到我来到北美之后才第一次品尝到！)”可知，作者儿时很少有机会尝试外国食物。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city. (通过食物，他们了解并庆祝了使温哥华成为一个多元而美妙的城市的丰富文化传统和独特身份。)”可知，丰富的美食体验让作者的孩子们能够培养文化鉴赏能力。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood. (一个民族的饮食词汇反映了其价值观和优先事项。一个典型的意大利孩子能说出22种不同的意大利面种类，而加拿大的孩子可能只会知道3到4种。当想到煎蛋时，法国人会说“早餐”。而美国人则会说“胆固醇”。法国人想到的是烹饪的过程；而美国人想到的是进入血液中的物质。)”可知，作者在第三段提及意大利面和煎蛋是为了阐述不同文化中的食物差异。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet. (22年前我刚来到英属哥伦比亚大学时，校园内的餐饮状况并不理想。如今我们已经取得了长足的进步，现在有各种各样的餐饮选择，但我们仍可以做得更好。)”可知，英属哥伦比亚大学当前的饮食文化是多样化的。故选C。 Passage 5 （2024·全国·模拟预测） 1 As the sun began to set, the aroma of sizzling meat filled the air. 2 The sound of laughter and chatter echoed through the streets as families and friends gathered around tables at barbecue restaurants, eagerly awaiting their meals. 3 Some restaurants even ran out of key ingredients as early as 7 pm in the night. All hotels were also operating at full capacity. Even the barbers in Zibo have begun a side trade of roasting skewers for tourists. Barbecue restaurants in Zibo are usually small and crowded, with customers sitting at outdoor tables or standing around the grilling area. On the small stove, the grilled skewers sizzle in splattering oil, and customers can try pancake-wrapped meats with crispy green Shandong onions, and a healthy drizzle of homemade spicy sauce along with other dipping sauces to enjoy different flavors. 4 It contains roast lamb, green onions, and naan bread, which, combined, make a drool-worthy combo. 5 Previously, barbecue in Northeast China or the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Northwest China were much more popular across the country. To promote Zibo - style barbecue, Zibo has launched two dozen “special barbecue trains”, where local tourism officials would serve tourists themselves. At the city’s train station, shuttle buses transport tourists to various barbecue stalls directly. Netizens joke that the high - speed trains are packed with visiting tourists and the air onboard is infused with cumin. A．The city of Zibo has never seen so many visitors.

I was the person who avoided certain airlines because they only served Pepsi. At various times I tried to 1 , but I could never deprive myself for longer than a week. I drank with vigour until earlier this year, when two things happened almost simultaneously (同时地). I had been feeling pain in the left side of my abdomen (腹部) for months, but doctors were unable to 2 the problem. At the same time, I began noticing that my beloved drink left a disgusting (恶心的) aftertaste I had never noticed before. In late June, after 3 my second can of the day, pains shot across my stomach, and that was my last soda. Just like that, I was done, after 39 years. Why did it take so long? Was I truly 4 dependent, or was it simply a bad habit? The American Psychiatric Association, which publishes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, categorizes all “addictions” — to alcohol, drugs, gambling, even paint thinner (油漆稀释剂) — under Substance Related and Addictive Disorders. Diet Coke is not 5 . Caffeine use disorder falls under the section “requiring further research”. Artificial sweeteners are nowhere to be found either. However, in a study where laboratory rats were forced to choose between saccharin (糖精) and cocaine, 94 per cent of them chose the 6 — even if they had shown signs of dependence on the cocaine. Steven Walsh, a 38-year-old furniture mover in Ireland, decided to give up Diet Coke two weeks ago. He suffered terrible headaches, along with feelings of annoyance and exhaustion. Aspirin helped with the pain, and to occupy his mind he went for long walks and read books. These are 7 signs of addiction. “People lose 8 over it,” said Ashley Gearhardt at the University of Michigan. “They consume it even though they know they should stop. They 9 withdrawal symptoms (戒断症状) when it gets removed.” Gearhardt points to the two “ 10 ” that can be found in the beverage: aspartame (阿斯巴甜) and caffeine. Or, to be more precise: addictions to sweetness and caffeine. 11 , they are bad; together, they are an addict’s nightmare. A 12-ounce can of regular Coke has 34 milligrams of caffeine, whereas Diet Coke has 11 milligrams more, according to Coca-Cola. Artificial sweeteners activate the brain’s reward system, but only about half as much as regular sugar. Consequently, they keep you wanting more and more. Furthermore, aspartame is 200 times sweeter than table sugar. Serious drinkers are so used to the super-sweet taste that everything else seems 12 in comparison. As of this writing, I am on Day 41. I gave up Diet Coke all of a sudden, but I would hardly call myself an overnight 13 . The first few days were rough. My head 14 so badly from caffeine withdrawal that I lived on painkillers. Still, I am planning to continue my life without Diet Coke. My stomach hurts less, and my sweet tooth is not as persistent. I am quite pleased with myself for having 15 a lifelong habit. If I can do this, I can do anything. Even if it takes 40 years. 1．A．sleep B．start C．stop D．search 2．A．bring up B．figure out C．look into D．run across 3．A．finding out B．opening up C．polishing off D．turning over 4．A．emotionally B．financially C．physically D．psychologically 5．A．considered B．invented C．mentioned D．recommended 6．A．better B．bitter C．former D．latter 7．A．classic B．novel C．rare D．special 8．A．balance B．confidence C．control D．interest 9．A．get over B．go through C．rely on D．work out 10．A．criminals B．decorators C．victims D．witnesses 11．A．Equally B．Individually C．Similarly D．Undoubtedly 12．A．flavourless B．harmless C．meaningless D．worthless 13．A．example B．failure C．idol D．success 14．A．ached B．injured C．puzzled D．tightened 15．A．altered B．developed C．formed D．maintained 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．C 6．C 7．A 8．C 9．B 10．A 11．B 12．A 13．D 14．A 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者戒掉健怡可乐的艰难过程及原因分析。 1．考查动词词义辨析。句意：有好几次我试图戒掉，但我从来不能让自己戒掉超过一周。A. sleep睡觉；B. start开始；C. stop停止；D. search搜索。根据后文“but I could never deprive myself for longer than a week.”可知，作者不能让自己戒掉超过一周，因此这里表示作者试图戒掉。故选C。 2．考查动词短语辨析。句意：几个月来，我一直感到左腹部疼痛，但医生们无法找出问题所在。A. bring up提出；B. figure out弄清楚；C. look into调查；D. run across偶然遇见。根据前文“I had been feeling pain in the left side of my abdomen for months, but doctors were unable to”可知，作者左腹部疼痛了几个月，但医生对作者腹部疼痛的原因无法查明。故选B。 3．考查动词短语辨析。句意：6月下旬，在我喝完当天的第二罐后，胃部一阵剧痛，那是我最后一罐汽水。A. finding out查明；B. opening up打开；C. polishing off喝完，吃完；D. turning over翻转。根据后文“pains shot across my stomach, and that was my last soda.”可知，作者是喝完第二罐后出现了疼痛。故选C。 4．考查副词词义辨析。句意：我是真的心理上依赖，还是仅仅是一个坏习惯？A. emotionally情感上；B. financially经济上；C. physically身体上；D. psychologically心理上。根据后文“or was it simply a bad habit?”可知，作者在思考自己是心理上依赖还是仅仅是一个坏习惯。故选D。 5．考查动词词义辨析。句意：健怡可乐没有被提及。A. considered考虑；B. invented发明；C. mentioned提及；D. recommended推荐。根据前文“The American Psychiatric Association, which publishes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, categorizes all “addictions” — to alcohol, drugs, gambling, even paint thinner — under Substance Related and Addictive Disorders.”可知，美国精神病学会将多种“成瘾”归类，而健怡可乐不在其中，即未被提及。故选C。 6．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，在一项研究中，实验室老鼠被迫在糖精和可卡因之间做出选择，94%的老鼠选择了前者，即使它们已经表现出对可卡因的依赖迹象。A. better更好的；B. bitter苦的；C. former前者的；D. latter后者的。根据前文“rats were forced to choose between saccharin and cocaine”及后文“even if they had shown signs of dependence on the cocaine”可知，94%的老鼠选择了糖精，此处前者指“糖精”，后者指“可卡因”。故选C。 7．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些都是典型的成瘾迹象。A. classic典型的；B. novel新颖的；C. rare稀有的；D. special特别的。根据前文“Steven Walsh, a 38-year-old furniture mover in Ireland, decided to give up Diet Coke two weeks ago.

In Italy, pasta is more than just a dish. There are various types of pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, and ravioli. Each region in Italy has its own unique pasta recipes and cooking styles. Spaghetti is often paired with tomato - based sauces, while penne might go well with a meat - based sauce. The Italians take great pride in their pasta - making traditions. Families pass down recipes from generation to generation. Making pasta from scratch is a time - consuming but rewarding process. It involves mixing flour, eggs, and sometimes water to create the dough, and then shaping it into different forms. In contrast, Japanese cuisine is known for its fresh and delicate flavors. Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. The key to good sushi lies in the quality of the ingredients. The fish needs to be extremely fresh, and the rice should be cooked to the perfect texture. Moreover, food can also bring people together. In many cultures, sharing a meal is a way to strengthen relationships. Whether it's a big family dinner in China during the Spring Festival or a barbecue with friends in the United States, food plays an important role in social gatherings. 语篇翻译： 食物是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，它不仅关乎生存，还具有文化和社会意义。在意大利，意大利面不仅仅是一道菜肴。意大利面有多种类型，比如意大利细面条、直管面和意大利方形饺。意大利的每个地区都有其独特的意大利面食谱和烹饪风格。意大利细面条通常搭配番茄酱，而直管面可能与肉酱搭配得很好。 意大利人对他们制作意大利面的传统深感自豪。家庭将食谱代代相传。从零开始制作意大利面是一个耗时但值得的过程。这包括将面粉、鸡蛋，有时还有水混合制成面团，然后将其塑造成不同的形状。 相比之下，日本料理以其新鲜和细腻的口味而闻名。寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。美味寿司的关键在于食材的质量。鱼需要非常新鲜，米饭的口感也要恰到好处。 此外，食物还能把人们聚集在一起。在许多文化中，共享一顿饭是加强人际关系的一种方式。无论是中国春节期间的家庭聚餐，还是美国朋友间的烧烤聚会，食物在社交场合中都扮演着重要角色。 重点词汇： essential [ɪˈsenʃl] adj. 基本的；必要的 pasta [ˈpæstə] n. 意大利面 recipe [ˈresəpi] n. 食谱；秘诀 cuisine [kwɪˈziːn] n. 烹饪；菜肴 delicate [ˈdelɪkət] adj. 精致的；细腻的 ingredient [ɪnˈɡriːdiənt] n. 原料；要素 texture [ˈtekstʃə(r)] n. 质地；口感 长难句分析： Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. 抓标志：关系代词 that。 判类型：主句（Sushi is a popular Japanese dish） + 定语从句（that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice），修饰先行词 dish。 试翻译：寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。 高考真题链接 （2025·浙江·高考真题B篇）When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 24．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A．She is upset by her kids’ weight. B．She is critical of the way she was fed. C．She is interested in making food. D．She is particular about what she eats. 25．Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A．Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B．Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C．Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D．Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 26．What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A．Make diet decisions on their own. B．Share their food with other kids. C．Eat up what is provided for them. D．Help their parents do the dishes. 27．What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A．Costly. B．Complex. C．Workable. D．Contradictory. Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. 抓标志：关系副词 “where”；并列连词 “and”；从属连词 “even if” 判类型：主句（she recommends applying...called the “Division of Responsibility”）后接定语从句（where...carrots），定语从句由 and 连接的两个并列分句组成（parents provide... 和 the kids themselves decide...），第二个分句中包含宾语从句（what and how much they want to consume）；破折号后是让步状语从句（even if that means...carrots） 试翻译：相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即 “责任划分”，在这个概念中，父母在固定时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多。 mess up 搞砸；破坏 take years to overcome 花多年时间克服 connect...with... 把…… 和…… 联系起来 dissuade sb. from... 劝阻某人做…… have an unintentionally negative impact 产生无意的负面影响 talk through 充分讨论；详细探讨 create worries and insecurities 造成担忧和不安全感 a variety of 各种各样的 fixed times 固定时间 have control over 对…… 有控制权 try out strategies 尝试策略 less restrictive 不那么严格限制 综合实战演练 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·广西玉林·开学考试）Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them. The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy. Actually, plain instant noodles aren’t terrible. They’re fried during production (which adds some oil and calories), but they fill you up well and provide quick energy when you’re hungry. To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal! So, are instant noodles junk food? If prepared lazily with all the seasoning and no extras, yes. But when cooked with less seasoning plus veggies and protein, they become a decent occasional meal. Remember: the secret is variety. Enjoy them once or twice a week as part of a diverse diet, and they won’t harm your health. They’re far less scary than people think — just upgrade your cooking method! 1．What determines if instant noodles are unhealthy? A．Their quick cooking time. B．The time of eating. C．The preparation method. D．The junk food label. 2．What is the major cause of unhealthy instant noodles? A．The dried noodles. B．The flavor packets. C．Using boiling water. D．People avoiding cooking. 3．What is the main purpose of the third paragraph? A．Warn about health dangers. B．Give cooking instructions. C．Argue noodles are harmless. D．List harmful additives. 4．What is the suitable title for the passage? A．Instant Noodles: Not All Waste. B．Instant Noodles: How to Cook? C．Instant Noodles: Eat Sometimes. D．Instant Noodles: What we know? Passage 2 （24-25高二下·重庆·期末）At a time when Americans consume more than half of their daily calories from ultra-processed (超加工的) foods, there is increasing evidence showing that eating too much of these foods can make us sick. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and certain cancers. The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies. Ultra-processed foods are ubiquitous in our food supply. Among the most common are highly refined breads, fast food, sugary drinks, cookies, and other packaged snacks. They are often high in salt, sugar, fat and calories and low in fiber and micro-nutrients such as vitamins. Although no evidence proves that consumption of ultra-processed foods can directly cause anxiety, cancer or other health conditions, a growing body of evidence shows that ultra-processed foods contribute to the development of these conditions. A study published last year found people in the habit of consuming high levels of ultra-processed foods were about three times more likely to develop cancer, compared to those who consumed the least. When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, a French study showed that adults who maintained an unhealthy diet had more depressive symptoms. “We saw a roughly 20 to 50% increased risk of depressive symptoms in people who had diets that were high in ultra-processed foods,” says Wolfgang Marx, a researcher. A panel of advisors is currently evaluating all the latest diet and nutrition studies as part of a process to update the country’s Dietary Guidelines. It is possible that they could recommend limits on ultra-processed foods. On the regulatory side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving ahead to finalize a new definition of the term “healthy”. The FDA says a “healthy” claim on food labels could help consumers identify healthier choices with a quick look and may encourage food companies to improve their products. 1．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Nutritious. B．Cheap. C．Widespread. D．Profitable. 2．What did the study published last year find regarding ultra-processed foods? A．They improve emotional stability. B．They cause health decline. C．They trigger immediate reactions. D．They lower nutritional value. 3．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Future plans from food companies. B．New guidelines for food sales. C．Limits on ultra-processed foods. D．Responses to ultra-processed foods. 4．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．A health magazine. B．A biology report. C．A hospital leaflet. D．A food advertisement. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·全国·课后作业）Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cooking traditions are so important to your culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On a personal level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us connect food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding special and personal value for us. On a larger level, food is an important part of culture. Traditional food is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity (文化认同). Immigrants (移民) bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of keeping their culture when they move to new places. In addition, each country or community’s unique cuisine can reflect its history, values and so on. In China, harmony is an important quality in almost every part of life. This is mirrored in Chinese food, where almost every flavour is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavours that go well together. The food of the United States also mirrors its history. The European colonization (殖民) of the Americas brought European ingredients and cooking styles to the US. As the world becomes more globalized (全球化), it is easier to get food from different cultures. We should not only hug our tradition through our culture’s food but we should also know more about other cultures by trying their foods. It’s important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. 1．What does the author want to express in paragraph 1? A．Different types of food in foreign countries. B．Concern about food and culture. C．Connections between food and culture. D．The relationship between culture and people. 2．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Traditional food. B．Traditional culture. C．One generation. D．Childhood. 3．How is paragraph 4 developed? A．By giving examples. B．By making a comparison. C．By describing a process. D．By following time order. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Creating delicious food is a way of keeping culture. B．European settlers liked cooking food in American styles. C．Food mirrors all the changes in a country’s history. D．Chinese people usually do things in a balanced way. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·内蒙古赤峰·期末）I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, where an amazingly rich cooking tradition that has been perfected for thousands of years taught me the love of good food. Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America! I have Armenian heritage, which means that I have recipes passed down to me from my mother. I got my love of cooking from her. My two children have had the chance to enjoy food from everywhere in the world. They don’t find it remarkable at all that in the same week, they could go on a worldwide cuisine journey that could include sushi, samosas, tamales, and tabboulch. Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city. A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood. When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet. 1．What can we learn about the author’s childhood food experience? A．She was exposed to global cuisines early. B．She rarely had chance to try foreign foods. C．She didn’t like Lebanese cooking traditions. D．She was affected by family’s cooking habits. 2．The rich food experiences allow the author’s children to ______. A．become picky caters B．improve cooking skills C．develop cultural appreciation D．value family heritage 3．Why does the author mention pasta and fried eggs in paragraph 3? A．To illustrate the link between food and health. B．To explain Canadians’ simple food vocabulary. C．To show Italians’ attitude toward healthy food. D．To state different food values between cultures. 4．Which can best describe UBC’s current food culture? A．Nutritious. B．Healthy. C．Diverse. D．Tasty. Passage 5 （2024·全国·模拟预测） 1 As the sun began to set, the aroma of sizzling meat filled the air. 2 The sound of laughter and chatter echoed through the streets as families and friends gathered around tables at barbecue restaurants, eagerly awaiting their meals. 3 Some restaurants even ran out of key ingredients as early as 7 pm in the night. All hotels were also operating at full capacity. Even the barbers in Zibo have begun a side trade of roasting skewers for tourists. Barbecue restaurants in Zibo are usually small and crowded, with customers sitting at outdoor tables or standing around the grilling area. On the small stove, the grilled skewers sizzle in splattering oil, and customers can try pancake-wrapped meats with crispy green Shandong onions, and a healthy drizzle of homemade spicy sauce along with other dipping sauces to enjoy different flavors. 4 It contains roast lamb, green onions, and naan bread, which, combined, make a drool-worthy combo. 5 Previously, barbecue in Northeast China or the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Northwest China were much more popular across the country. To promote Zibo - style barbecue, Zibo has launched two dozen “special barbecue trains”, where local tourism officials would serve tourists themselves. At the city’s train station, shuttle buses transport tourists to various barbecue stalls directly. Netizens joke that the high - speed trains are packed with visiting tourists and the air onboard is infused with cumin. A．The city of Zibo has never seen so many visitors. B．Zibo-style barbecue has the classic three-piece set. C．On each street, queues stretched outside restaurants for more than a hundred meters. D．The Zibo barbecue is enjoying great popularity. E．Thus it draws in even more hungry customers. F．The fame of Zibo barbecue used to be limited to just Shandong Province. G．However, the city of Zibo gets more and more crowded. Passage 6 （24-25高一下·新疆喀什·期中）With the development of technology, people's eating habits have undergone significant changes, 1 For example, mobile apps now help users track their daily calorie intake and suggest balanced meals. However, technology also brings challenges. 2 Many people rely on food delivery services, which often offer unhealthy options. Nutritionists warn that excessive consumption of processed foods can lead to health issues. To address these problems, some companies are innovating. 3 A notable example is the use of AI to create personalized diet plans based on individual health data. Traditional diets should not be ignored. 4 Mediterranean diets, rich in olive oil and fish, are still considered one of the healthiest in the world. In conclusion, balancing technology and tradition is key. 5 By combining modem tools with time-tested eating habits, we can achieve better health outcomes. A．These apps make it easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle. B．Fast food chains are adopting new technologies to improve service speed. C．They develop smart kitchen devices that promote home cooking. D．Cultural heritage plays a role in shaping dietary choices. E．Online platforms provide numerous recipes for homemade meals. F．This balance ensures both convenience and nutritional value. G．Despite advancements, many prefer traditional cooking methods. Passage 7 （2025高二·全国·专题练习）After I discovered Diet Coke in 1982, I drank at least three 12-ounce cans nearly every day for the next four decades. I was the person who avoided certain airlines because they only served Pepsi. At various times I tried to 1 , but I could never deprive myself for longer than a week. I drank with vigour until earlier this year, when two things happened almost simultaneously (同时地). I had been feeling pain in the left side of my abdomen (腹部) for months, but doctors were unable to 2 the problem. At the same time, I began noticing that my beloved drink left a disgusting (恶心的) aftertaste I had never noticed before. In late June, after 3 my second can of the day, pains shot across my stomach, and that was my last soda. Just like that, I was done, after 39 years. Why did it take so long? Was I truly 4 dependent, or was it simply a bad habit? The American Psychiatric Association, which publishes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, categorizes all “addictions” — to alcohol, drugs, gambling, even paint thinner (油漆稀释剂) — under Substance Related and Addictive Disorders. Diet Coke is not 5 . Caffeine use disorder falls under the section “requiring further research”. Artificial sweeteners are nowhere to be found either. However, in a study where laboratory rats were forced to choose between saccharin (糖精) and cocaine, 94 per cent of them chose the 6 — even if they had shown signs of dependence on the cocaine. Steven Walsh, a 38-year-old furniture mover in Ireland, decided to give up Diet Coke two weeks ago. He suffered terrible headaches, along with feelings of annoyance and exhaustion. Aspirin helped with the pain, and to occupy his mind he went for long walks and read books. These are 7 signs of addiction. “People lose 8 over it,” said Ashley Gearhardt at the University of Michigan. “They consume it even though they know they should stop. They 9 withdrawal symptoms (戒断症状) when it gets removed.” Gearhardt points to the two “ 10 ” that can be found in the beverage: aspartame (阿斯巴甜) and caffeine. Or, to be more precise: addictions to sweetness and caffeine. 11 , they are bad; together, they are an addict’s nightmare. A 12-ounce can of regular Coke has 34 milligrams of caffeine, whereas Diet Coke has 11 milligrams more, according to Coca-Cola. Artificial sweeteners activate the brain’s reward system, but only about half as much as regular sugar. Consequently, they keep you wanting more and more. Furthermore, aspartame is 200 times sweeter than table sugar. Serious drinkers are so used to the super-sweet taste that everything else seems 12 in comparison. As of this writing, I am on Day 41. I gave up Diet Coke all of a sudden, but I would hardly call myself an overnight 13 . The first few days were rough. My head 14 so badly from caffeine withdrawal that I lived on painkillers. Still, I am planning to continue my life without Diet Coke. My stomach hurts less, and my sweet tooth is not as persistent. I am quite pleased with myself for having 15 a lifelong habit. If I can do this, I can do anything. Even if it takes 40 years. 1．A．sleep B．start C．stop D．search 2．A．bring up B．figure out C．look into D．run across 3．A．finding out B．opening up C．polishing off D．turning over 4．A．emotionally B．financially C．physically D．psychologically 5．A．considered B．invented C．mentioned D．recommended 6．A．better B．bitter C．former D．latter 7．A．classic B．novel C．rare D．special 8．A．balance B．confidence C．control D．interest 9．A．get over B．go through C．rely on D．work out 10．A．criminals B．decorators C．victims D．witnesses 11．A．Equally B．Individually C．Similarly D．Undoubtedly 12．A．flavourless B．harmless C．meaningless D．worthless 13．A．example B．failure C．idol D．success 14．A．ached B．injured C．puzzled D．tightened 15．A．altered B．developed C．formed D．maintained Passage 8 （2025高一·全国·专题练习）Noodles are a staple (主食) in Chinese cuisine. Prior to moving to China, my knowledge of Chinese food 1 Americanized food, so, when I thought of Chinese noodles, it was 2 lo mein (捞面). While I still enjoy a bowl of lo mein from time to time, there is something truly 3 about China’s noodle culture. The flavors and styles 4 drastically (剧烈地) depending on what region of the country you visit. But, one thing is certain, you’ll see a 5 of noodle shops. Noodle shops are often hole-in-the-wall, restaurants with simple and shabby 6 and an open wall concept at the front. Oftentimes, you’ll see streets 7 with people sitting on small chairs eating a bowl of noodles. Given any 8 , you’ll also find noodle shops in the most random places, including street vendors. It’s impossible for me to 9 my favorite noodle, but my most 10 noodle experience took place in Xi’an, which is home to Biang Biang Mian. The noodles for this dish are hand-pulled and known for being thick and chewy (有嚼劲的). While on a trip to Xi’an we met a 11 who had been making Biang Biang Mian for 40 years. He was very proud of his skill and 12 us back to his kitchen so that we could watch him form the noodles from the dough, which 13 a loud “biang” sound. This experience gave me a front row seat to the 14 that goes into creating Chinese cuisine.

My favourite was among the simplest: spaghetti pomodoro, pasta in tomato sauce. We ate fresh vegetables and fruit, and, starting in our teenage years, 1 (drink) a glass of red wine. We ate together. I enjoyed a few slices of prosciutto and practised a wide variety of outdoor sports. This centuries-old Mediterranean(地中海) diet kept me fit, 2 turned out to be good not just my personal well-being, but for the planet’s health too. In 2020 we will celebrate   3 tenth anniversary of UNESCO’s designation (指定) of this Mediterranean diet as a “Cultural Heritage of Humanity”. But unfortunately, Italians 4 (turn) away from their traditional healthy diet. We have started to eat more fast food and have increased our portions. 5 (few) Italians enjoy social meals with family and friends. Italian children were 6 the most overweight in a recent study of 30 countries by the WHO. Poor nutrition is a global problem, not just an Italian one. The fact that it’s hitting Italy, the land 7 the Mediterranean diet originated, represents a dangerous contradiction-- one of many affecting the world of food. After years of decline, hunger is back on the rise. Globally, some 821 million people still do not have enough 8 (eat). Yet 9 the poor south hungers, the rich north gorges: some 2 billion people are overweight. We waste one-third of global food production. Livestock consume an estimated two-thirds of all the land that 10 (devote) to agriculture and contribute about half of farming-related greenhouse-gas emissions. Passage 10 （2024·江苏南通·一模）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。 A unique food trend has recently gained 1 (popular) among young people in China. Known as “leftover food blind boxes”, these innovative meal options provide a convenient and affordable way 2 (enjoy) delicious food while also reducing food waste. So far this concept 3 (attract) the attention of many curious young individuals. The concept of “leftover food blind boxes” 4 (originate) abroad, specifically from an app called Too Good To Go that started in Denmark in 2015. Its goal is to fight against food waste by offering surplus (剩余的) unsold food from nearby stores and restaurants 5 a reduced price.
