综合训练
一.阅读理解:
Have you ever had a food that you tasted and you immediately disliked? Maybe it was broccoli(西兰花), dark chocolate, or cottage cheese. Maybe you were “encouraged” to try the food again, and then one of those times you actually liked it. Many people have had this experience. While tastes are developed at a young age, they can be changed, which depends on a person’s desire to try.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham released a study that showed people have a flavor window. The flavor window is open for four-to-six-month-old babies. During this time, it is easier to get babies to try a food they have not previously tasted. As they grow up, the flavor window slowly closes, leaving most of them dubious of new foods.
However, the flavor window closing at a young age doesn’t mean it can’t be reopened. A study found that if babies are introduced to a new food 5 to 10 times, they can grow to like it. That amount goes up as children grow older. Ultimately, the study came to the conclusion that the flavor window may never be completely shut.
Being willing to try a new food repeatedly is necessary to open a person’s flavor window again. Each attempt will lessen the natural unwillingness of something new. Eventually, “not bad” can turn into “pretty good”. One method for inspiring courage to try new foods multiple times is testing different ingredients. Adding an ingredient-sugar or salt, perhaps-that one enjoys, might make an unappealing food more appealing. Once the person has trained him or herself to like the food, the added ingredient may not be necessary.
Overcoming a dislike of a particular food requires tasting a food in different ways and at different times. In spite of strange smells, odd textures, or distinctive flavors, a person has the ability to acquire a true liking for even the most unique and unusual foods. So don’t give up-you never know when you might surprise yourself and discover that broccoli is your new favorite food!
1. What does the study find about babies?
A. Babies are naturally unwilling to try new foods.
B. Babies develop a favorite food if they eat that food many times.
C. Babies are more likely to accept new foods when the flavor window is open.
D. Babies who are not exposed to new foods will experience a narrow flavor
window.
2. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Greedy. B. Doubtful. C. Impatient. D. Bored.
3. Why does the author include paragraph 4 in the text?
A. To explain how adding sugar or salt improves the taste of foods
B. To highlight that there is no reason why people stop trying new foods.
C. To warn that people may have difficulty preparing new foods properly.
D. To suggest that people can expand their flavor preferences with time and effort.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Don’t give up on broccoli.
B. Try new foods before it is too late.
C. Ways to reopen your flavor window.
D. A new study about your eating habits.
二、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two years. When people find I’m a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人), they always ask me, “How do you do that?” Honestly, my answer will be, “I don’t know. I simply love learning languages.” 1 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what’s the secret of being polyglots.
2 And what do we have in common? I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. Everybody seems to have a unique way to speak several languages fluently.
3 All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 4 The methods are various, but they make sure it’s something enjoyable.
I realized it’s actually how I learn. 5 Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you’re a shy person, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it’s available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.
A. How can those with little talent be fluent?
B. But people are never happy with the reply.
C. There’s no shortcut to learning languages for anyone.
D. One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.
E. That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it.
F. When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks.
G. Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process.
三.阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空处的最佳选项。
