Unit 1 Section Ⅲ Extended reading & Project & Assessment(Word练习)-【精讲精练】2025-2026学年高中英语选择性必修第一册（译林版）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 Summertime is often filled with outdoor parties and food trucks，meaning you're spending more time standing up and eating.But if you want to actually enjoy your meal，researchers say you're better off finding a seat. A new study published in the journal of Consumer Research finds posture impacts taste perception (感知)，with food tasting better when you're sitting down.Dipayan Biswas，professor of marketing at the University of South Florida，found that holding a standing posture for even a few minutes leads to physical stress，muting taste perception.The force of gravity pushes blood to the lower parts of the body，causing the heart to work harder to pump blood back up to the top of the body，accelerating heart rate.When people experience discomfort，foods that normally taste good do not appear as pleasant to the tongue.Biswas confirmed his assumption by having 350 participants rate the taste of a pita chip.Those who were standing gave it a less favorable rating than those who were sitting in a chair. Researchers then provided participants classic bite sized cakes baked at a local restaurant that were tested and widely considered pleasant tasting.Those who were sitting down rated them to be most delicious.However，when the baker changed the recipe and made the taste unpleasant by adding an extra cup of salt，the results were opposite.Participants standing up didn't notice the cakes tasting saltier to that extent，and actually rated them to have a relatively more favorable taste perception than those who sampled them while sitting down. “This finding suggests that parents might be able to make unpleasant­tasting，healthy foods seem more delicious to reluctant (不情愿的) children by having them eat standing up (vs.sitting down)．Also it might be beneficial to maintain a standing posture when consuming medical products that have unpleasant tastes.” In addition，the team tested posture's impact on temperature perception.Participants were provided cups of hot coffee.Those standing up reported it not being as intense as those who were sitting down.However，they drank less than those sitting，suggesting physical stress suppresses appetite.Eating while standing can also help with long­term weight loss goals.Specifically，eating while standing (vs.sitting) leads to lower amount of consumption. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。发表在《消费者研究》杂志上的一项新研究发现，姿势会影响味觉，当你坐着的时候，食物的味道会更好。站立姿势哪怕只有几分钟，也会导致身体压力，削弱味觉。 1．What's the main idea of the text? A．Summer is the best season to enjoy tasty food. B．Your posture influence your food perception. C．You had better stand up when eating food. D．Sitting down helps you enjoy your food. 解析　主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“A new study published in the journal of Consumer Research finds posture impacts taste perception，with food tasting better when you're sitting down.(发表在《消费者研究》杂志上的一项新研究发现，姿势会影响味觉，当你坐着的时候，食物的味道会更好。)”以及文章主要内容可知主要围绕你的姿势会影响你对食物的感知。故选B。 答案　B 2．Which of the following best explains “muting” underlined in Paragraph 2? A．encouraging　　　　　 B．approving C．discouraging D．disapproving 解析　词义猜测题。根据下文“The force of gravity pushes blood to the lower parts of the body，causing the heart to work harder to pump blood back up to the top of the body，accelerating heart rate.(重力将血液推到身体下部，导致心脏更加努力地工作，将血液泵回身体上部，加速心率。)”可知保持站立姿势哪怕只有几分钟，也会导致身体压力，这会削弱味觉。故可推测画线单词意思为“减弱；阻止”。故选C。 答案　C 3．According to the passage，how many experiments were conducted by Dipayan Biswas and his team? A．1　　　 B．2　　　　 C．3　　　 D．4 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Biswas confirmed his assumption by having 350 participants rate the taste of a pita chip.Those who were standing gave it a less favorable rating than those who were sitting in a chair.(Biswas让350名参与者对皮塔饼的味道打分，证实了他的假设。站着的人对它的评价不如坐在椅子上的人好。)”为第一次试验；根据第三段第一句“Researchers then provided participants classic bite sized cakes baked at a local restaurant that were tested and widely considered pleasant tasting.(然后，研究人员为参与者提供了在当地一家餐厅烘焙的经典一口大小的蛋糕，这些蛋糕经过了测试，被普遍认为味道不错。)”为第二次试验；以及最后一段第一句“In addition，the team tested posture's impact on temperature perception.(此外，研究小组还测试了姿势对温度感知的影响。)”为第三次试验。故可知Dipayan Biswas和他的团队做了三次试验。故选C。 答案　C 4．A standing position while eating is especially beneficial to those except . A．a girl who wants to keep slim B．a couple who are enjoying their dinner C．a child who is unwilling to take bitter pills D．a mum whose children refuse to eat tasteless food 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This finding suggests that parents might be able to make unpleasant­tasting，healthy foods seem more delicious to reluctant children by having them eat standing up (vs.sitting down)．Also it might be beneficial to maintain a standing posture when consuming medical products that have unpleasant tastes.[这一发现表明，父母让孩子站着(而不是坐着)吃东西，可能会让他们觉得不喜欢吃的健康食品更美味。此外，在食用味道不佳的医疗产品时，保持站立的姿势也可能是有益的。]”可知站姿对不愿吃苦药的孩子和不愿吃无味食物的母亲是有益的，故排除C、D选项；以及最后一段最后一句“Specifically，eating while standing (vs.sitting) leads to lower amount of consumption.[具体地说，站着(相对于坐着)吃东西会减少消耗。]”可知站姿对于想要减肥的女性有益，故排除A选项。而对B选项“一对夫妇正在享受他们的晚餐”并没有益处。故选B。 答案　B Ⅱ.语法填空 A new study looked at conversations between parents and their kids when they explored a city park as well as an indoor education center.They found that talking outdoors was much more enthusiastic 1. talking inside.
