一、阅读理解
Passage 1
The relationship between food and cultural identity has been a subject of increasing interest among
anthropologists and sociologists in recent decades.While it is widely acknowledged that cuisine serves as
a marker of cultural boundaries,recent research suggests that food practices may play an even more
fundamental role in shaping how individuals perceive themselves and their place in the world.
Dr.Maria Chen,a cultural anthropologist at Stanford University,conducted a longitudinal study spanning
five years across three continents.Her research focused on immigrant communities and how their food
habits evolved over generations."What we discovered was surprising,"Chen explains."The first
generation tends to cling to traditional recipes as a way of preserving their heritage.The second
generation often rejects these foods in an attempt to assimilate.But the third generation shows a
remarkable pattern of rediscovery-not necessarily of the exact dishes their grandparents made,but of the
culinary principles underlying them."
The study documented over 200 families from various backgrounds,including Chinese,Mexican,and
Italian immigrants.Researchers observed that food served not merely as comfort but as a tangible
connection to history.One participant,whose grandmother had migrated from Sichuan province in China,
described her experience:"Igrew up rejecting the strong flavors ofmy grandmother's cooking.I wanted
to eat what my fiiends ate.But in my twenties,I found myself craving those very flavors.Now I'm
learning to make Mapo tofu from scratch."
Chen's findings align with broader research on cultural transmission.Dr.James Wright,a psychologist at
the University of Chicago,notes that food memories are particularly powerful because they engage
multiple senses simultaneously."Unlike language,which can be leamned formally,cooking is often
absorbed implicitly through observation and participation.It's embedded in the fabric of daily life."
However,the study also highlighted challenges.Globalization has made ingredients more accessible than
ever,but it has also led to what Chen calls"culinary homogenization"-the blending of distinct traditions
into a globalized food culture."The question isn't whether this is good or bad,"Chen says."It's about
understanding what is gained and what is lost when food traditions evolve."
The implications of this research extend beyond academic circles.Educators are incorporating food
studies into multicultural cunicula,while policymakers consider the role of food in migrant integration
programs.As Wright puts it,"Understanding how food shapes identity might be key to understanding
how cultures survive-and transform."
()1.What does Dr.Maria Chen's research primarily focus on?
A.The nutritional value of traditional cuisines
B.Changes in food habits across generations ofimmigrants
C.The economic impact ofimmigrant-owned restaurants
D.The health benefits of authentic ethnic foods
()2.According to the passage,what pattemn does the third generation typically show?
A.Complete rejection of traditional foods
B.Strict adherence to original recipes
C.Rediscovery of fundamental culinary principles
D.Preference for globalized food culture
()3.The word "tangible"in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to:

A.They are less powerful than language memories
B.They are primarily formed through formal education
C.They involve multiple sensory experiences
D.They fade more quickly than other memonies
()5.What concern does the passage raise regarding globalization?

B.It causes distinct food traditions to blend together

D.It reduces the nutritional quality of food
Passage 2
The gut microbiome-the vast community of microorganisms living in our digestive tracthas become
one of the most active areas of biomedical research in the 21st century.Scientists have long known that
these bacteria play essential roles in digestion and immune function.However,recent discoveries suggest
that the influence of gut bacteria extends far beyond the digestive system,potentially affecting everything
from mood to memory.
A groundbreaking study published in Nature Neuroscience in 2023 revealed a direct link between
specific gut bacteria and cognitive performance in older adults.Researchers at the University of Cork in
Ireland analyzed fecal samples from over 600 participants aged 65 and older,correlating their microbiome
composition with results from standardized cognitive tests.The findings showed that individuals with
higher levels of certain bacterial species,particularly those from the Lachnospiraceae family,performed
significantly better on tests of memory and attention.
Dr.Sarah O'Brien,lead author of the study,explains the mechanism:"These bacteria produce short-chain
fatty acids that can cross the blood-brain barier.These compounds appear to reduce inflammation in the
brain and promote the production of neurotrophic factors-proteins that support the survival and growth
of neurons."The implication is that dietary choices directly influence cognitive health by shaping the
composition of gut bacteria.
The Mediterranean diet,rich in fiber,fruits,vegetables,and healthy fats,has been shown to promote the
growth of beneficial gut bacteria.Conversely,diets high in processed foods and sugar can disrupt the
microbiome balance,potentially contributing to cognitive decline."It's not just about what you eat,"
O'Brien emphasizes."It's about what your bacteria can do with what you eat."
However,researchers caution against oversimplification.The relationship between diet,microbiome,and
brain function is complex and bidirectional.Stress,sleep patterns,and exercise also influence gut bacteria,
and individual genetic variations affect how people respond to dietary changes."We're still in the early
stages of understanding these connections,"O'Brien notes."What works for one person may not work for
another."
Despite these caveats,the potential applications are promising.Clinical trials are underway to test whether
probiotic supplements targeting specific bacterial species can improve cognitive function in patients with
mild cognitive impairment.Other studies are exploring whether fecal microbiota transplantation-
transfering gut bacteria from healthy donors-could help treat neurological conditions.
The emerging field of"nutritional psychiatry"represents a paradigm shift in how we think about brain
health.For decades,mental health treatment has focused primarily on pharmaceutical interventions.The
recognition that diet can fundamentally alter brain function opens new possibilities for prevention and
treatment.As O'Brien concludes,"We've known for centuries that food affects how we feel.Now we're
beginning to understand why."
()1.What is the main topic of this passage?
A.The role of diet in preventing digestive diseases
B.The connection between gut bacteria and cognitive function
C.The benefits of the Mediterranean diet for young adults
D.The development of new pharmaceutical treatments
()2.According to paragraph 2,what did the study at the University of Cork find?
A.Older adults have more diverse gut bacteria than younger adults
B.Certain gut bacteria are associated with better cognitive performance
C.Cognitive tests are unreliable for measuring brain function
D.Fecal samples are difficult to analyze in older populations
()3.How do beneficial gut bacteria affect the brain,according to Dr.O'Brien?
A.By directly entering brain cells
B.By producing compounds that reduce inflammation
C.By increasing blood flow to the brain
D.By eliminating harmful bacteria from the body
()4.The word "paradigm"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to:
A.pattern
B.challenge
C.limitation
D.discovery
()5.What caution does the passage express about the research?
A.The findings only apply to older adults
B.Probiotic supplements are dangerous
C.Individual responses to diet may vary
D.The Mediterranean diet is too expensive
二、完形填空
When Sarah moved from New York to Tokyo for her graduate studies,she expected challenges with
language and culture.What she didn't expect was how deeply food would affect her sense of belonging
In the first few weeks,she
herself wandering through supermarket aisles,overwhelmed by
unfamiliar labels and ingredients.The convenience of instant ramen became her
but it only
deepened her homesickness.
It wasn't until she met Yuki,a Japanese student in her program,that things began to change.Yuki noticed
Sarah's struggle and to teach her how to make simple Japanese dishes."Food is the easiest way
to understand a culture,"Yuki said."Every ingredient has a
every technique a pupose."
Their first cooking session was making miso soup.Yuki explained that the combination of miso paste,
tofu,and seaweed wasn't just about taste-it
balance and harmony,core values in Japanese
philosophy.Sarah was
by how much meaning could be packed into a simple bowl of soup.
As weeks passed,Sarah's cooking skills improved,and so did her confidence.She began to
local ingredients that had once seemed intimidating.The act of cooking became a bridge between her old
life and new.She leamed that food could be a powerful tool for
homesickness and building
connections.
"Moving to a new country,"Sarah later wrote in her blog,"is like learning to cook all over again.You
start with nothing,make mistakes,and gradually discover
flavors.The most precious
you can develop is patience-with yourself,with the process,and with the beautiful
of how food brings people together."
Now,two years later,Sarah has become known among her friends for her fusion cooking-Japanese
techniques applied to American comfort foods.She's discovered that
food traditions isn't about
abandoning one for another,it's about creating something new while honoring both."I've stopped tying
6
what's authentic'or not,"she says."Good food is good food,
of where it comes
from."
Her experience reflects a broader truth:in an increasingly globalized world,food remains one of the most
ways to maintain cultural identity while embracing new experiences.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences
In recent years,the concept of"food sovereignty"has gained significant traction among agricultural
activists and indigenous communities worldwide.Unlike food security,which focuses on ensuring that
people have enough to eat,food sovereignty emphasizes the right of communities to define their own
food systems-what they grow,how they grow it,and how they distribute and consume it.
The movement emerged in response to growing concerns about corporate control over global food
systems.Critics argue that international trade agreements and industrial agriculture have eroded traditional
farming practices,reduced biodiversity,and made communities dependent on imported foods that may be
less nutritious and culturally appropriate.In Mexico,for example,the introduction of subsidized corn
from the United States devastated local maize production,threatening the survival of hundreds of native
com varieties that had been developed over centuries.
The food sovereignty movement advocates for several key principles.First,it prioritizes local food
production and short supply chains,arguing that communities should have primary control over their food
sources.Second,it emphasizes agroecological farming methods that work with rather than against natural
ecosystems.Third,it recognizes the knowledge and practices of small-scale farmers and indigenous
communities as valuable resources rather than obstacles to development.
Critics of the movement,however,raise important questions.They argue that food sovereignty could lead
to trade barriers that prevent food from reaching areas where local production is insufficient.In regions
prone to drought or other climate-related challenges,they contend,international trade in food may be
essential for survival.Furthermore,they question whether romanticizing traditional agriculture ignores the
real benefits that technological advances have brought to food production.
Supporters counter that food sovereignty is not about rejecting all forms of trade or technology.Rather,it
is about rebalancing powerensuring that the people most affected by food systems have a meaningful
voice in how those systems operate.As one activist put it,"We are not against progress.We are against
progress that destroys cultures and environments in the name of efficiency."
The debate continues,but one thing is clear:as climate change,population growth,and economic
inequality reshape global food systems,questions about who controls food and for whose benefit will
only become more urgent.
1.What is the main difference between "food security"and"food sovereignty"as defined in the passage?
2.What example does the author give to illustrate the negative effects of corporate control over food
systems?
3.List THREE key principles advocated by the food sovereignty movement.
4.What criticism do opponents of food sovereignty raise regarding regions with challenging climates?
5.According to supporters,what is the true goal of the food sovereignty movement?
四、短文填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Food plays a
role in shaping cultural identity,yet its significance often goes unnoticed in our
daily lives.When people move to a new country,they frequently experience intense
triggered
by the absence of familiar foods.This emotional response is not merely about
comfort it
reflects a deep connection between food and memory.
Researchers have
that certain foods activate brain regions
are associated with
emotional regulation and nostalgia.The smell of a childhood dish can transport us back in time,
how powerfully food is linked to our sense of self.
For immigrants,
culinary traditions becomes an important way of maintaining their
However,they must also
with the challenge of adapting to new ingredients and cooking
methods.This process of adaptation requires patience-a valuable personal
that helps bridge
different worlds.
The most
immigrants are often those who leamn to combine traditions rather than
replace one with another.They discover that fusion cuisine,
from being a compromise,can be
a creative expression of their dual identity.As one chef explained,"I don't have to choose between my
heritage and my new home.I can
both in every dish I create."
In this way,food becomes more than
mere source of nutrition-it becomes a living document
of human experience,recording the joumneys of people across time and space.

题目A范文:
When it comes to food that embodies cultural identity,I immediately think of dumplings (jiaozi)in
Chinese culture.These crescent-shaped dumplings,filled with minced meat and vegetables,are far more
than just a delicious dish-they represent family reunion and shared happiness,especially during the
Spring Festival.
The process of making dumplings together is itself a cultural practice.Family members gather around a
table,each contributing to the preparation.This collective activity strengthens family bonds and passes
down traditions from one generation to the next.The shape of dumplings resembles ancient Chinese
silver ingots,symbolizing wealth and prosperity,which reflects traditional Chinese values
However,globalization poses challenges to this culinary tradition.Fast food and convenience meals are
replacing homemade dumplings in many families.Younger generations,influenced by global food
culture,may lack the patience to leamn traditional cooking methods.Some even see dumpling-making as
outdated.
In my view,preserving this tradition doesn't mean rejecting change.Instead,we can adapt-for example,
by creating healthier fillings or organizing dumpling-making events at school.Food is not just fuel for our
bodies,it canies the stories of who we are.
题目B范文:
Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you're interested in Chinese food culture.Traditional cooking techniques are indeed a
precious part of our heritage.
Traditional cooking methods,such as stir-fiying,steaming,and slow-braising,represent centuries of
wisdom about balancing flavors,nutrition,and health.They reflect the philosophy of harmony-between
ingredients,between food and body,between humans and nature.For example,the delicate skill ofhand-
pulling noodles (is not just a cooking technique but an art form that expresses patience and
mastery.
However,these traditions face significant challenges in modern society.The fast pace of life means fewer
people have time for time-consuming cooking methods.Young people often prefer the convenience of
takeout and processed foods.Many traditional skills risk being lost as fewer apprentices seek to learn
from master chefs.
To protect these invaluable traditions,I believe we need a multi-faceted approach.Schools should
incorporate food culture into their curricula,teaching students not just to eat but to cook.The media can
play a role by producing documentaries and programs that highlight the beauty of traditional cooking.
Most importantly,we must create economic value for these skills-supporting small restaurants and
workshops that preserve authentic methods.
Food is the most intimate way we experience culture.Protecting traditional cooking methods means
preserving the stories and wisdom of our ancestors for future generations.
Yours,
Li Hua
