Even in countries where tipping is expected, debates arise over the proper amounts. As with any complex topics, opinions differ based on cultural and personal factors. Here is what people from different countries said when asked the question“Do you tip?” Maeia, Italy: “If I’m at a café and the service is very good, I’ ll leave a small tip — maybe 10 percent. But usually in Italy tipping is not expected. At most restaurants, they already add a service charge to the bill. I like it that way because then I don’t have to calculate it myself!” Javier, Mexico: “Oh yes, I definitely tip. For me and many others in Mexico, it’s a way of showing respect for hard work. Also, some people — like the people who pack your bags in the grocery store — get no money from their employer. So, if you neglect their tip, they don’t get paid!” Sophie, France: “I do, but I’m in the minority. In France, a service charge is usually included in the bill, so a tip isn’t necessary. But I used to work in a café, so Ialways leave a little something extra for the server.” Liam, the US: “Always. In the US, it’s really a must. But it’s also quite expensive. It used to be around 15 to 20 percent, but now it’s much higher because people got used to tipping more during the COVID years. We’re talking 25 to 30 percent in a restaurant. Honestly, I rarely eat out nowadays, because it breaks the bank. I just can’t afford the tip.” 1. In which countries is tipping not needed for most people? A. Italy& Mexico. B. Mexico& France. C. France& Italy. D. Mexico& the US. 2. In the US, if the bill for a meal is $ 120, what is the minimum tip now? A. $18. B. $24. C. $30. D. $36. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A news report on cultural differences. B. A personal blog on travel expenses. C. An academic journal on social behaviors. D. A culture column in a lifestyle magazine. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了不同国家人们对付小费的看法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But usually in Italy tipping is not expected.(但在意大利，通常不需要付小费)”以及第四段中“In France, a service charge is usually included in the bill, so a tip isn’t necessary.(在法国，服务费通常已经包含在账单里，所以不需要付小费)”可知，在意大利和法国，大多数人不需要付小费。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It used to be around 15 to 20 percent, but now it’s much higher because people got used to tipping more during the COVID years. We’re talking 25 to 30 percent in a restaurant.(过去大约是15%到20%，但现在要高得多，因为人们在新冠肺炎期间习惯了给更多的小费。我们说的是餐厅里25%到30%的小费)”可知，在美国，如果一顿饭的账单是120美元，现在最少要付的小费是120×25%=30美元。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Tipping — the act of giving extra money to service workers — is common in many parts of the world, while in others, it is seen totally unnecessary. Even in countries where tipping is expected, debates arise over the proper amounts. As with any complex topics, opinions differ based on cultural and personal factors.(给服务人员额外的小费在世界许多地方都很常见，但在其他地方，这被认为完全没有必要。即使在期望付小费的国家，关于适当的金额也存在争议。和任何复杂的话题一样，由于文化和个人因素的不同，人们的观点也会有所不同)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了不同国家的人对于付小费的看法。可推知，文章可能选自一本生活方式杂志的文化专栏。故选D。 B On the first day of school this year, Joseph Riley, the principal (校长) of Pocahontas County High School in West Virginia, dropped by the band classroom and told the 38 students that the school had been unable to find a band teacher after the former teacher left over the summer to take a teaching position at a different school. “I said that we'd have to get them into other classes,” Riley said. Then he gave the students a second option. If the teens wanted to keep the Warriors band going and teach themselves, the school would support them. Most students decided to take a different class, but ten students took him up on the offer. The guys didn't give up faced with unpleasant situations and they found the courage to keep the band going. The ten band members elected Hailey Fitzgerald, 17, as band director, and then invited two teachers from the school to serve as advisors. Math teacher Jennifer Nail-Cook agreed to offer support.“They are an impressive bunch of kids,” Nail-Cook said. “We are all very proud of them.” Band students practice the school song every day,and they have learned to work together, Fitzgerald said. They also had to solve a problem when they realized they had too many drummers (鼓手). The band's latest performance was at their school's Homecoming Day. “When we do our school song, that's probably everybody's favorite,” said Jadyn Lane, 17. “To see so many people supporting and cheering us on, that's a huge motivator.” Several school alumni (校友) volunteered to join the students in the stands on Homecoming Day. “Our school is the heart of the community,” Riley said. “Everyone is really appreciative of these kids working together to make sure our school still has a band. It's unbelievable to witness the progress they've made on their own.” Years from now, Fitzgerald said she imagines she’ll look back on her junior year as band director with pride. “It was never an option for us to quit — we all love it too much,” she said. 4. What happened to the Warriors band when school started this year? A. They dropped out of school. B. Their classroom was relocated. C. Their class size was expanded. D. They lacked professional guidance. 5. Which of the following can best describe the ten band members? A. Sympathetic and devoted. B. Enthusiastic and generous. C. Determined and cooperative. D. Courageous and imaginative. 6. What do we know about the band's latest performance A. It was organized by several schools. B. It was well received by the audience. C. It was staged for a yearly local festival. D. It was attended by the whole community. 7. How has Fitzgerald benefited from directing the band? A. It has given her a memory to be treasured. B. It has brought her a sense of community. C. It has helped her to be a top student. D. It has led her to a lifelong hobby. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了西弗吉尼亚州波卡洪塔斯县高中的勇士乐队在面临困境时不放弃，努力坚持并取得成果的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On the first day of school this year, Joseph Riley, the principal (校长) of Pocahontas County High School in West Virginia, dropped by the band classroom and told the 38 students that the school had been unable to find a band teacher after the former teacher left over the summer to take a teaching position at a different school.(今年开学第一天，西弗吉尼亚州波卡洪塔斯县高中的校长约瑟夫・莱利，顺道来到乐队教室，告知 38 名学生，自前任乐队老师在暑假离职，去另一所学校任教后，学校一直没能找到新的乐队老师)” 可知，今年开学时勇士乐队缺乏专业指导，因为没有乐队老师。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Most students decided to take a different class, but ten students took him up on the offer.

The all so common sight of heads bent, eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world. Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train, taxi or waiting in a queue, people busy themselves with their mobile phones. Some people believe our unhealthy obsession with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter. The truth is that technology overall should be seen as a tool to improve our lives. Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives, but I truly believe it’s for the better. It’s changed the way we communicate, whether for work or play. We are now less constrained (限制) by time and geographical location. With my mobile phone, I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam, or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go. I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren’t living in the same country. My phone calendar keeps my life organized, and even Facebook. Twitter, and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones! The mobile revolution isn’t just changing the lives of urbanite (城市居民)like myself. I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design. She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that, opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations. Dealing with suppliers in different towns was a problem for Shompa-purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to suppliers. Shompa also found it tough publicizing (宣传)her business to potential customers outside her town. But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone, she was addicted. The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers. Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life. Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change? It shouldn’t really be a surprise though. 8. In the first two paragraphs, the author wants to show ______. A. mobile phones make people communicate less B. mobile phones make people’s life more enjoyable C. people become addicted to mobile phones in daily life D. people’s health is greatly affected by mobile phones 9. What’s the author’s attitude towards mobile phones? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Uninterested. 10. How is Paragraph 5 developed? A. By listing figures. B. By making comparison. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By giving examples. 11. What do we know about Shompa from the passage? A. She operates a food store. B. She is addicted to Internet surfing. C. Her mobile phone helped her business a lot. D. Mobile e-mail is still unavailable to her. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当代社会，人们在日常生活中沉迷于手机，但是作者认为手机的出现给我们的生活带来了许多积极的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的““I can’t live without my mobile phone!” is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives.(“我离不开手机！”这是我经常听到人们谈论手机如何成为他们生活中必不可少的一部分时说的话)”以及第二段“The all so common sight of heads bent, eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world. Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train, taxi or waiting in a queue, people busy themselves with their mobile phones.(低头、盯着手机屏幕、手指忙碌地敲击的常见景象在世界各大城市重复出现。在火车上、出租车上或排队等候时，只要有空闲时间，人们就会忙于手机)”可推知，在前两段作者想要说明人们在日常生活中沉迷于手机的现象。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives, but I truly believe it’s for the better.(手机无疑对我们的生活产生了巨大的影响，但我真的相信这对我们更有益)”可知，作者认为手机对我们会更有益。由此可推知，作者对于手机表示支持态度。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“With my mobile phone, I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam, or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go. I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren’t living in the same country. My phone calendar keeps my life organized, and even Facebook, Twitter, and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!(有了手机，我在堵车时可以参加电话会议，在路上可以回复紧急邮件。我可以给不在同一个国家的朋友发短信、分享照片和视频。我的手机日历让我的生活井井有条，甚至 Facebook、Twitter 和即时通讯软件现在都可以在手机上使用！)” 可知，第五段通过列举作者使用手机的具体例子展开论述。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Shompa also found it tough publicizing (宣传) her business to potential customers outside her town. But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone, she was addicted. The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers. Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life. (Shompa还发现很难向城外的潜在客户宣传她的业务。但一旦她学会了操作手机，她就上瘾了。这位25岁的女商人现在很容易与供应商保持联系。手机电子邮件是她生活中的一件幸事)”可知，Shompa的手机对她的生意帮助很大。故选C。 D What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others can’t get enough of them. Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported. “We have always assumed that liking contributes to intake —— we eat what we are fond of and we like what we consume. But no one has actually directly bothered to relate personality to intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John E. Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study. But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster. In the study, 97 subjects, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality, for example, whether they are keen on new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it. By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water. Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can stand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, but that you actually learn to like the burning feeling,” Hayes explained. 12. Which can take the place of the underlined word “loathe” in Paragraph 2? A. dislike. B. seek. C. accept. D. harvest. 13. What did Professor John E. Hayes and his team discover from their study? A. What we eat actually helps develop our personality. B. Males prefer spicy food than females. C. Those avoiding risks tend to hate spicy food. D. It’s wrong to treat “spicy” as a feeling. 14. Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study? A. Because their tongues have become less sensitive. B. Because they are lacking in appetite. C. Because they want to challenge themselves. D. Because they love the burning feeling. 15. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. What to eat mainly depends on personality. B. Preference for spicy food relies largely on personality. C. Taste has nothing to with one’s experiences. D. Different people have different taste. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人们对辛辣食物喜好的原因。长期以来，科学家对为何有人喜爱辣椒而有人厌恶感到困惑。此前研究认为与童年经历和文化影响有关，而最新研究表明，一个人对辛辣食物的喜爱可能更多地与个性相关。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it.(科学家们长期以来一直困惑于为什么有些人喜欢辣椒，而另一些人却loathe它)”可知，这里 “while” 表示对比，说明 “loathe” 与 “love” 意思相反。选项 A“dislike（不喜欢）” 符合与 “love” 相反的意思；故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.(通过对比问卷答案以及参与者对辣味水的感受，研究人员发现，那些倾向于喜欢动作电影或冒险的人，喜欢辣味水的可能性大约是其他人的六倍)”可知，喜欢刺激和冒险的人更喜欢辣味水。由此推知，避免风险的人往往不喜欢辛辣食物。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, but that you actually learn to like the burning feeling,” Hayes explained.(海斯解释说：“并不是辣的感觉不那么强烈了，而是你实际上学会了喜欢这种灼烧感。”)” 可知，根据最新研究，有些人喜欢辛辣食物是因为他们喜欢这种灼烧的感觉。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第二段“But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.(但据加拿大广播公司新闻报道，最新研究发现，一个人对辛辣食物的喜爱可能与他或她的性格有关，而不是其他任何因素)”可知，文章主要介绍最近的研究表明对辛辣食物的偏好很大程度上依赖于个性。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to improve long-term memory There are some things that are easy for us to remember and you notice that you can still recall that information even when you no longer need it.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了帮助提高长期记忆的一些方法。 16题详解】 上文“Sometimes it is difficult to remember information. (有时很难记住信息)”说明存在难以记忆信息的问题，下文“Try the following steps below to remember information you want to keep in your long-term memory. (尝试下面的手段来记住你想要长期记忆的信息)”建议尝试帮助记忆的手段，空处和前文形成转折，引出后文的建议，因此C项“但有很多方法可以让它变得更容易”符合语境，指出存在让记忆变得简单的方法，其中的it指代前文的“to remember information”，easier和前文的difficult形成对比。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“Organize information into groups. (将信息整理成组)”说明本段建议将信息分组，下文“It is like a supermarket; things of the same kind are put in the same place. (这就像一个超市；同类的东西放在同一个地方)”借用超市来解释将信息分组的概念。空处承接段首句，引出后文的解释，G项中的grouped段首句中的groups呼应，说明将信息分组的好处。所以G项“如果将事物分组，这将帮助你更好、更长地记住它们。”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 下文“When you need to remember a piece of information, try relating it to a picture that is easily remembered.(当你需要记住一段信息时，试着把它和一张容易记住的图画联系起来)”说明本段建议通过画面帮助记忆。空处是段首句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。所以A项“在你的脑海中形成画面”符合语境，契合后文内容，其中的pictures在后文有同词复现。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“This is how many people remember positions.(这就是很多人记住位置的原因)”说明把需要记住的位置和一张容易记住的图画联系起来是很多人记住位置的原因。空处给出具体例子解释前文。E项中的They指代前文中的“many people”，“the store is near the bridge”是前文中“remember positions”的具体说明。所以E项“他们可以简单地回忆起那家商店就在桥附近。”符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“Repeat. The more you are exposed to something, the easier it is to remember at a later time. (重复。你接触的东西越多，以后就越容易记住)”说明本段建议通过重复加深记忆，下文“Try using his name at least three times when you first talk to someone. That name will be easier to remember later.(当你第一次和别人说话时，试着提到他的名字至少三次。这个名字以后会更容易记住)”说明通过具体的记住人名的场景，示范如何落实该建议。空处承接前文，引出后文的示范。D项中的This指代前文的Repeat，说明D项“这对结识新朋友尤其有好处。”符合语境，提到结识新朋友的场景，引出下文。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me.

Even in countries where tipping is expected, debates arise over the proper amounts. As with any complex topics, opinions differ based on cultural and personal factors. Here is what people from different countries said when asked the question“Do you tip?” Maeia, Italy: “If I’m at a café and the service is very good, I’ ll leave a small tip — maybe 10 percent. But usually in Italy tipping is not expected. At most restaurants, they already add a service charge to the bill. I like it that way because then I don’t have to calculate it myself!” Javier, Mexico: “Oh yes, I definitely tip. For me and many others in Mexico, it’s a way of showing respect for hard work. Also, some people — like the people who pack your bags in the grocery store — get no money from their employer. So, if you neglect their tip, they don’t get paid!” Sophie, France: “I do, but I’m in the minority. In France, a service charge is usually included in the bill, so a tip isn’t necessary. But I used to work in a café, so Ialways leave a little something extra for the server.” Liam, the US: “Always. In the US, it’s really a must. But it’s also quite expensive. It used to be around 15 to 20 percent, but now it’s much higher because people got used to tipping more during the COVID years. We’re talking 25 to 30 percent in a restaurant. Honestly, I rarely eat out nowadays, because it breaks the bank. I just can’t afford the tip.” 1. In which countries is tipping not needed for most people? A. Italy& Mexico. B. Mexico& France. C. France& Italy. D. Mexico& the US. 2. In the US, if the bill for a meal is $ 120, what is the minimum tip now? A. $18. B. $24. C. $30. D. $36. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A news report on cultural differences. B. A personal blog on travel expenses. C. An academic journal on social behaviors. D. A culture column in a lifestyle magazine. B On the first day of school this year, Joseph Riley, the principal (校长) of Pocahontas County High School in West Virginia, dropped by the band classroom and told the 38 students that the school had been unable to find a band teacher after the former teacher left over the summer to take a teaching position at a different school. “I said that we'd have to get them into other classes,” Riley said. Then he gave the students a second option. If the teens wanted to keep the Warriors band going and teach themselves, the school would support them. Most students decided to take a different class, but ten students took him up on the offer. The guys didn't give up faced with unpleasant situations and they found the courage to keep the band going. The ten band members elected Hailey Fitzgerald, 17, as band director, and then invited two teachers from the school to serve as advisors. Math teacher Jennifer Nail-Cook agreed to offer support.“They are an impressive bunch of kids,” Nail-Cook said. “We are all very proud of them.” Band students practice the school song every day,and they have learned to work together, Fitzgerald said. They also had to solve a problem when they realized they had too many drummers (鼓手). The band's latest performance was at their school's Homecoming Day. “When we do our school song, that's probably everybody's favorite,” said Jadyn Lane, 17. “To see so many people supporting and cheering us on, that's a huge motivator.” Several school alumni (校友) volunteered to join the students in the stands on Homecoming Day. “Our school is the heart of the community,” Riley said. “Everyone is really appreciative of these kids working together to make sure our school still has a band. It's unbelievable to witness the progress they've made on their own.” Years from now, Fitzgerald said she imagines she’ll look back on her junior year as band director with pride. “It was never an option for us to quit — we all love it too much,” she said. 4. What happened to the Warriors band when school started this year? A. They dropped out of school. B. Their classroom was relocated. C. Their class size was expanded. D. They lacked professional guidance. 5. Which of the following can best describe the ten band members? A. Sympathetic and devoted. B. Enthusiastic and generous. C. Determined and cooperative. D. Courageous and imaginative. 6. What do we know about the band's latest performance A. It was organized by several schools. B. It was well received by the audience. C. It was staged for a yearly local festival. D. It was attended by the whole community. 7. How has Fitzgerald benefited from directing the band? A. It has given her a memory to be treasured. B. It has brought her a sense of community. C. It has helped her to be a top student. D. It has led her to a lifelong hobby. C “I can’t live without my mobile phone!” is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives. The all so common sight of heads bent, eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world. Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train, taxi or waiting in a queue, people busy themselves with their mobile phones. Some people believe our unhealthy obsession with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter. The truth is that technology overall should be seen as a tool to improve our lives. Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives but I truly believe it’s for the better. It’s changed the way we communicate, whether for work or play. We are now less constrained (限制) by time and geographical location. With my mobile phone, I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam, or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go. I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren’t living in the same country. My phone calendar keeps my life organized, and even Facebook. Twitter, and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones! The mobile revolution isn’t just changing the lives of urbanite (城市居民)like myself. I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design. She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that, opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations. Dealing with suppliers in different towns was a problem for Shompa-purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to suppliers. Shompa also found it tough publicizing (宣传)her business to potential customers outside her town. But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone, she was addicted. The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers. Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life. Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change? It shouldn’t really be a surprise though. 8. In the first two paragraphs, the author wants to show ______. A. mobile phones make people communicate less B. mobile phones make people’s life more enjoyable C. people become addicted to mobile phones in daily life D. people’s health is greatly affected by mobile phones 9. What’s the author’s attitude towards mobile phones? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Uninterested. 10. How is Paragraph 5 developed? A. By listing figures. B. By making comparison. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By giving examples. 11 What do we know about Shompa from the passage? A She operates a food store. B. She is addicted to Internet surfing. C Her mobile phone helped her business a lot. D. Mobile e-mail is still unavailable to her. D What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others can’t get enough of them. Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported. “We have always assumed that liking contributes to intake —— we eat what we are fond of and we like what we consume. But no one has actually directly bothered to relate personality to intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John E. Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study. But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster. In the study, 97 subjects, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality, for example, whether they are keen on new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it. By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water. Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can stand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it.
