More than 3,000 years ago Mesoamericans,living in what is Mexico and Central America today,cooked corn kernels(玉米粒) in a solution of wood ash or limestone. The process unlocked nutrients and softened the tough outer shells of the corn,making it easier to chew. With the invention of canned goods in the 19th century,the industrial-scale transformation of food became possible. According to the UN,the average daily food supply available for a person in the rich world increased by over 20% between 1961 and 2021,to 3,500 kilocalories. In that time,obesity rates have more than tripled;today,nearly one in three people globally is obese or overweight. Now worries are mounting that the heavy processing used to cook up cheap,tasty snacks may itself be harmful. A particular target is “ultra-processed foods” (UPFs),heavily processed foods like ice-cream or instant noodles. At the heart of the debate is a question: are UPFs unhealthy because their nutritional content is poor,or does the processing somehow pose risks in itself? At the turn of the 21st century some scientists noticed that people in Brazil were buying less sugar and oil than in the past. Yet rates of obesity were still rising. This unintentionally occurred with the growing popularity of packaged desserts and ready-made meals. By now numerous studies have shown that people who consume diets high in UPFs tend to have more health problems. But a recent analysis by Samuel Dicken and Rachel Batterham at University College London reviewed 37 studies and found that even after adjusting for fat,sugar and salt UPFs were still strongly linked to poor health. That suggests there is more to their harm than just a poor nutrient profile. Where those harms come from is still unclear,however. With so many influential causes that could also explain poor health—such as income and education—observational studies alone cannot offer conclusive answers. Arne Astrup,a Danish researcher,argues that evidently most of the studies that make statistical adjustments to try to isolate(分离) the effects of processing are “not good enough”. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如今人们对超加工食品的担忧。众多研究表明摄入超加工食品多的人健康问题更多,但其危害的来源尚不明确。 1.Why did Mesoamericans process corn kernels? A.To ensure better consumption. B.To enable easy handling. C.To discover new solutions. D.To facilitate safe storage. 答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Mesoamericans...cooked corn kernels(玉米粒) in a solution of wood ash or limestone. The process unlocked nutrients and softened the tough outer shells of the corn,making it easier to chew.”可知,中美洲人加工玉米粒是为了释放营养成分,软化坚硬的外壳,使其更易于咀嚼,也就是为了确保更好的食用体验。故选A项。] 2.What do the data in paragraph 2 show? A.The history of food industry. B.The benefits of preserved food. C.The results of food mass production. D.The development of food processing. 答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第二段“With the invention of canned goods...is obese or overweight.”可知,这些数据展示了食品大规模生产带来的结果,包括食物供应增加以及肥胖率上升等。故选C项。] 3.What can be inferred about ultra-processed foods? A.Their popularity is in decline. B.Their presence changes Brazilians’ diet. C.Their nutrients can make up for their risks. D.Their processing methods arouse concerns. 答案　D　[推理判断题。根据题干中的“ultra-processed foods”可以将答案定位至第三段。根据该段中的“Now worries are mounting that the heavy processing...may itself be harmful. A particular target is ‘ultra-processed foods’ (UPFs),heavily processed foods like ice-cream or instant noodles.”可知,人们越来越担心过度加工过程可能有害,超加工食品成为特别关注的对象,也就是其加工方式引起了人们的关注和担忧,故选D项。] 4.Why do observational studies fail to determine the effects of UPFs? A.Many factors affect the results. B.The related statistics are inaccurate. C.The studies lack enough evidence. D.The causes of harm remain unknown. 答案　A　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“With so many influential causes that could also explain poor health...observational studies alone cannot offer conclusive answers.”可知,有许多其他因素,如收入和教育等,也会影响健康状况,所以仅靠观察性研究无法确定超加工食品的影响,即许多因素会影响研究结果,故选A项。] (2026·陕西省高考适应性检测) Artificial food dye is an additive used to color a product. “The dye is artificial if it originates from a nonfood source,” explains Jamie Alan,PhD,an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University. “For example,red dye No.40 is made from petroleum products.”“By comparison,natural food dyes are those that are extracted from plants or animal tissues,” says Francisco Diez-Gonzalez,PhD,professor and director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia. A growing body of research has linked artificial food dyes,especially Red No.40,to many health issues. “There is data in animals that some of these dyes may cause cancer,” Alan says. “While there is certainly the potential to cause cancer,there haven’t been any human studies with definitive data to support this.” But studies on humans do show that some dyes can increase certain behaviors—especially in kids—like hyperactivity. “Some children are more sensitive than other children,and sometimes even a small dose can cause these effects,” Alan says. A 2021 report analyzed data from studies on both animals and humans who were exposed to food dyes. The report included “challenge studies”,for which children were given dyes and observed to see how they reacted afterward. In 16 of the 25 studies of the report,there was a link between children taking the dyes and having hyperactivity and other neurobehavioral(神经行为的) problems afterward. A 2022 mouse study found that Red No.40 and Red No.17 could cause inflammatory bowel diseases while a 2023 study on mice linked Red No.40 to DNA damage and colonic inflammation. Some people may also experience “allergy-like(像过敏一样) signs” from having these dyes,Diez-Gonzalez says. But Diez-Gonzalez notes that it’s important for people to be aware that more research is needed. “The cancer concerns mostly originate from animal studies that often use very large experimental doses,” he says. “For several of those dyes,the evidence of a harmful effect has not been conclusive.” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人造食用色素的来源,阐述了越来越多的研究将其与健康问题联系起来,如可能导致癌症、儿童多动症及其他神经行为问题,同时也指出对其危害的研究还需进一步深入。 5.What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs? A.Some artificial food dyes cause humans cancer. B.Dyes from plants and animals are more popular. C.Artificial food dyes can be obtained more easily. D.Possibly Red No.40 can result in health problems. 答案　D　[推理判断题。根据第二段的“A growing body of research has linked artificial food dyes...to many health issues.”、“studies on humans do show that some dyes can increase certain behaviors—especially in kids—like hyperactivity”和第三段的“there was a link between children taking the dyes...problems afterward”可知,越来越多的研究表明,人造食用色素,尤其是红色40号,与诸多健康问题有关。由此可推知,红色40号可能会导致健康问题。故选D项。] 6.Why is “challenge” used in paragraph 3? A.Scientists couldn’t find enough evidence. B.Carrying out experiments took too much time and money. C.Experiments on humans were more complex than on animals. D.Scientists were not willing to do such experiments on children. 答案　D　[推理判断题。根据第三段的“The report included ‘challenge studies’,for which children were given dyes and observed to see how they reacted afterward.”可知,“challenge studies”是指给儿童食用色素并观察他们的反应,用“challenge”可体现科学家对在儿童身上做这样实验的不情愿。故选D项。] 7.What do Diez-Gonzalez’s words in the last paragraph suggest? A.Mice are allergic to artificial food dyes. B.Studies about artificial food dyes on humans are not adequate. C.Red artificial food dyes are the key factor leading to mouse cancer. D.Only by being taken in large doses can artificial food dyes do harm to humans. 答案　B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段Diez-Gonzalez说的话“The cancer concerns mostly originate...very large experimental doses”和“For several of those dyes,the evidence of a harmful effect has not been conclusive.”可知,关于人造食用色素危害的研究大多是基于动物实验且剂量大,对一些色素有害影响的证据还不确定,即关于人造食用色素对人类影响的研究不充分。故选B项。] 8.What does the text mainly talk about? A.Various opinions about artificial food dyes. B.Experiments on mice about artificial food dyes. C.The research about safety of artificial food dyes. D.The connection between cancer and Red No.40. 答案　C　[主旨大意题。第一段:介绍人造食用色素和天然食用色素的定义。第二段:指出越来越多的研究将人造食用色素(尤其是红色40号)与多种健康问题联系起来。第三段:介绍2021年一份分析动物和人类接触食用色素研究数据的报告。第四段:介绍2022年和2023年在老鼠身上进行的关于食用色素的研究,发现红色40号和红色17号可能导致一些疾病。第五段:强调关于人造食用色素的研究仍需深入。通读全文可知,本文介绍了人造食用色素的来源,阐述了越来越多的研究将其与健康问题联系起来,同时也指出对其危害的研究还需进一步深入。C项“关于人造食用色素安全性的研究”能概括文章大意。] Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分) (2026·郑州市高中毕业年级第一次质量预测) When I was 19,determined not to spend my last teenage year stuck in the suburbs,I took off with an Australian friend and we traveled around Europe for months.We stayed in the cheapest accommodation we could find and 　1　 bread,cheese and the occasional bottle of red.  This was 1990,a time before mobile phones and the Internet,when the primary contact with home was the 　2　 of mail from the general post office.  Before I left,Mom had made me a small money bag to 　3　 around my neck.She’d also made me a sleeping sheet so that I could avoid 　4　 bedding.These gifts were her way of telling me to have a wonderful time,even though she didn’t want me to go.  It’s only now,as my 18-year-old daughter is 　5　 to leave on her own gap year trip,that I have more 　6　 for what Mom felt.Working multiple jobs and saving money,my daughter has researched where to stay,how to get around and what to do when she 　7　.She rarely asks for my opinion and I find myself 　8　 unsure of whether I should get involved or 　9　.I want to be 　10　 but not too involved.I want to be cool but not cold.I want to be like the perfect travel 　11　.  When she first mentioned gap year travel,I was encouraging,wanting her to have her own experiences that could 　12　 her.As I had mine,I didn’t let myself think a lot about her not being here.Our family has already got 　13　 and soon it will just be me,my son and the cat.And I’m not quite ready for that.But this 　14　 is about her.  This is not 1990 and I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter.I have promised not to bother her with messages,but at least I know she can 　15　 me when she wants to.  【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者描述了自己在18岁的女儿准备进行间隔年旅行之际,想要表示支持,但又担心干预过多的纠结心情。这让作者切实感受到了自己妈妈当年的心境——当时作者19岁,一心想去旅行。 1.A.turned to B.asked for C.dreamed of D.lived on 答案　D　[上文讲到作者19岁的时候和澳大利亚朋友去欧洲旅行,住在能找到的最便宜的住处,由此可知二人的经济状况不是很理想。再由空后的“bread,cheese and the occasional bottle of red”可知,二人在旅行中吃面包、奶酪,偶尔喝一瓶红酒。turn to “求助于……”;ask for “请求,要求”;dream of “梦想”;live on “以吃……为生,靠……生活”。] 2.A.promise B.collection C.claim D.approach 答案　B　[根据上文中的“This was 1990,a time before mobile phones and the Internet”可知,当时还没有手机和互联网。由此可知,人们和家里的主要联系方式是从邮局取信。故选B。此处考查collection的熟词生义用法,表示“取走,领取”。promise “承诺”;claim “宣称,断言”;approach “(待人接物或思考问题的)方式,方法,态度”。] 3.A.wear B.tie C.stay D.stick 答案　A　[根据空前的“Mom had made me a small money bag”和空后的“around my neck”可知,妈妈给作者做了一个小钱包,应该是戴在(wear)脖子上的。] 4.A.unusual B.expensive C.unclean D.empty 答案　C　[本句中的so that引导目的状语从句,根据空前的“She’d also made me a sleeping sheet”可知,妈妈给作者做了一个床单,这是为了让她避免旅行中不干净的(unclean)铺盖。] 5.A.waiting B.preparing C.training D.begging 答案　B　[根据下文中的“my daughter has researched where to stay,how to get around and what to do”(我的女儿研究了住在哪里,如何四处走动,以及该做什么)可知,作者的女儿准备(preparing)去进行间隔年旅行。] 6.A.passion B.desire C.responsibility D.sympathy 答案　D　[上文讲到作者19岁去旅行时,妈妈的担忧和用心。现在作者的女儿也要去旅行了,作者能够理解当年妈妈的感受了,故选D。sympathy for...“对于……的理解”。passion“强烈的爱好,热爱”;desire“愿望,欲望,渴望”;responsibility“责任,负责”。] 7.A.arrives B.confirms C.doubts D.forgets 答案　A　[根据上文中的“her own gap year trip”“my daughter has researched where to stay,how to get around”可以推断,此处讲的是作者的女儿已经研究好到达(arrive)(目的地)之后要做什么了,故选A。confirm“(尤指提供证据来)证实,证明,确认”;doubt“怀疑”。] 8.A.desperately B.regularly C.silently D.recently 答案　A　[根据空前的“She rarely asks for my opinion”可知,作者的女儿在准备旅行中很少寻求她的意见,所以可推测,作者作为母亲非常(desperately)不确定自己该怎么做。regularly “有规律地,经常”;silently “悄悄地,静静地”;recently “最近”。] 9.A.stand out B.give in C.hold on D.back off 答案　D　[上文讲到作者的女儿很少寻求她的意见,作者不确定自己该做什么。因此,空前的“get involved”(参与)与空处形成对应选择关系,故back off “放过,不去管(某人)”符合语境。stand out “显眼,突出”;give in “屈服,让步”;hold on “(在困境或危险中)坚持住,挺住”。] 10.A.ambitious B.supportive C.positive D.practical 答案　B　[此处与下文中的“I want to be cool but not cold”结构一致,作者想要适度参与但不过多干涉,故本句的意思应该是“我想要支持她,但又不想过度参与”,故选B。ambitious “有野心的,有雄心的”;supportive “支持的”;positive “积极乐观的,自信的”;practical “(人)注重实际的,务实的”。] 11.A.partner B.pioneer C.guide D.advocate 答案　C　[根据上文描述可知,作者是支持女儿旅行的,并且希望自己能适度参与又不过多干涉、希望自己冷静但不冷酷。由此可推测,她想做一个完美的旅行向导(guide)。partner “搭档,同伴”;pioneer “先锋,先驱,带头人”;advocate “拥护者,支持者,提倡者”。] 12.A.attract B.cheer C.shape D.move 答案　C　[根据空前的“wanting her to have her own experiences”和常识可知,作者认为间隔年旅行可以让女儿拥有个人经历,而这些经历能够影响女儿的发展,故选C。shape “决定……的形成,影响……的发展”。] 13.A.happier B.smaller C.weaker D.tougher 答案　B　[根据上文中的“her not being here”和空后的“soon it will just be me,my son and the cat”可知,作者的家庭规模已经变小(smaller)了,而随着女儿的离开,家里很快就只剩自己和儿子以及一只猫。] 14.A.trip B.choice C.adventure D.project 答案　A　[根据本段第一句中的“gap year travel”可知,虽然作者没有完全准备好孩子离开自己身边,但这是女儿自己的旅行(trip)。第四段也提到了“gap year trip”。] 15.A.leave B.believe C.contact D.disturb 答案　C　[根据上文中的“I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter.
