A City That Has Diverse Cultures
I must admit,moving to this diverse city has been a super experience.I chose to settle here because of its exciting culture and mild climate.My mission was to seek my fortune and earn a living.Now,I work in a downtown district for a comic journal.
Life here is colourful.Apart from the dominant culture,various minority communities have brought their traditions,claiming this place as home.A series of cultural exchanges has brought about greater understanding.You can head to the historical quarter to find beautiful china plates and clothing,or select a bar playing live jazz.The local market contains a fascinating collection of items;you can find French cheese,Indian spices,and Mexican folded art,to name but a few.
I have gained first-hand experience of this diversity.I definitely feel that the diverse cultures here make the city a neat place to live.It’s a fortune that such harmony can occur here,allowing me to truly feel I belong.

研真题•链接高考
(2025浙江1月卷,阅读B)
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.”
一、理清脉络
为语篇匹配合适的段落大意
A.引用心理学教授 Charlotte Markey 的观点,介绍 “责任分工” 理念,即父母提供健康食物,孩子自主决定吃什么和吃多少,并说明让孩子承担饮食选择自然结果的意义。
B.作者分享尝试这些策略后的感受,发现减少限制时孩子能做出更好的饮食决定,并呼应 Markey “喂养是长期过程” 的观点。
C.结合自身童年经历,讲述自己因被反复提及 “不要变胖” 而影响了与食物的关系,以及发现女儿担心自己过胖时的反思。
C
A
B
二、真题再做
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.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“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.”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。
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.
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.’”可知,Markey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Markey不会赞成。
√
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.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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.”可知,根据“责任划分”,孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选A项。
27.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A.Costly.
B.Complex.
C.Workable.
D.Contradictory.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive,they do make better decisions.”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。
三、语言能力
1.巧用构词猜词
词根 派生 词性及词义 例句
sugary “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.
restrictive I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive,they do make better decisions.
sugar
adj.含糖的
restrict
adj.限制性的
2.牢记熟词生义
单词 词性及词义 例句
click Even if they don’t eat it,they’re seeing it.And then all of a sudden it clicks.
available The food you have available makes a huge difference.
v.突然理解,恍然大悟
adj.(家中)常备的,可接触到的
3.积累高频词块
(1) 把……弄糟
(2) 某人心情沉重,情绪低落
(3) 使……接触……,使……暴露于……
(4) 试用,试验
(5) 有很大影响
4.妙用同义转述(用文中的词汇替换加黑词汇)
natural results
mess up
sb.’s heart sinks
expose...to...
try out
make a huge difference
consequences
5.破解复杂句式
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.
分析:本句是复合句。called the“the Division of Responsibility”是动词-ed形式作 语,修饰concept,where引导的 从句,修饰先行词“Division of Responsibility”,其中decide后连接一个 从句,even if引导 从句。
后置定
非限制性定语
宾语
让步状语
译文:
相反,她建议采用营养学专家们熟知的一个概念,即“责任分工”。在这种模式下,家长定时为孩子提供多种健康食物,由孩子自己决定吃什么以及吃多少——即便这意味着孩子偶尔吃的饼干会比胡萝卜多。
