On a personal level,we grow up eating the food of our cultures.It becomes a part of who each of us is.Many of us connect food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,holding special and personal value for us. On a larger level,food is an important part of culture.Traditional food is passed down from one generation to the next.It also operates as an expression of cultural identity(文化认同).Immigrants(移民) bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of keeping their culture when they move to new places. In addition,each country or community’s unique cuisine can reflect its history,values and so on.In China,harmony is an important quality in almost every part of life.This is mirrored in Chinese food,where almost every flavour is used in a balanced way,creating delicious dishes with flavours that go well together.The food of the United States also mirrors its history.The European colonization(殖民) of the Americas brought European ingredients and cooking styles to the US. As the world becomes more globalized(全球化),it is easier to get food from different cultures.We should not only embrace our tradition through our culture’s food but also know more about other cultures by trying their foods.It’s important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs,and is special to those who prepare it. 1.What does the author want to express in paragraph 1? A.Different types of food in foreign countries. B.Concern about food and culture. C.Connections between food and culture. D.The relationship between culture and people. 2.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Traditional food.　　　 B.Traditional culture. C.One generation. D.Childhood. 3.How is paragraph 4 developed? A.By giving examples. B.By making a comparison. C.By describing a process. D.By following time order. 4.What can we know from the passage? A.Creating delicious food is a way of keeping culture. B.European settlers liked cooking food in American styles. C.Food mirrors all the changes in a country’s history. D.Chinese people usually do things in a balanced way. B (2026福建龙岩高一期中联考) Researchers have studied changes to mealtimes in older adults.They discovered people experience gradual shifts(改变) as they age,and these changes may show important information about their health. Lead researcher Hassan Dashti explained that changes in when people eat,especially breakfast,can be a simple sign of overall health.He suggested that doctors and patients should use changes in mealtime routines as early warnings of hidden physical or mental problems.He also noted that keeping a regular(有规律的) eating schedule may support healthy aging and longer life. To explore this idea,the team studied 2,945 adults in the UK,aged 42 to 94,who were followed for more than 20 years.They collected health data and blood samples(样本) to see how mealtime might relate to health problems.They found that as older adults age,they tend to eat breakfast and dinner at later times,while also narrowing the overall time window in which they eat each day. Later breakfast times were strongly related to health problems such as extreme sadness,low energy,poor sleep,and trouble preparing meals.People who ate later were also more likely to have oral health problems.Most importantly,later breakfast was connected with a higher risk of death.The researchers also found that people who were naturally “night owls(preferring later sleep and wake times)” tended to eat meals at later times. “Up until now,we have had a limited(有限的) insight into how mealtime shifts later in life and how this change relates to overall health and longevity,” said Dashti.“Our findings help fill that gap by showing that later mealtimes,especially a later breakfast,are tied to both health challenges and increased death risk in older adults.These results add new meaning to the saying that ‘breakfast is the most important meal of the day’,especially for older adults.” 5.What did Dashti suggest about mealtime changes? A.They usually have no clear reasons. B.They depend mainly on sleeping habits. C.They can show signs of a person’s health. D.They are common among young people. 6.What did the researchers find about older adults? A.They have more food each day. B.They miss breakfast more often. C.They take longer time over meals. D.They eat meals later during the day. 7.What can be inferred about people who eat breakfast late? A.They tend to live longer lives. B.They usually feel more energetic. C.They are less likely to stay up. D.They may face certain health risks. 8.Which word can best describe the results of the study? A.Disappointing. B.Uncertain. C.Helpful. D.Unexpected. Ⅵ.七选五 (2026福建厦门六中高一期中) What Is Emotional Eating? Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying one’s hunger.　1　 Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookies after cookies while preparing for a big test?But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight,health,and overall well-being.  Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.　2　  One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings.Yes,people often turn to food when they’re stressed out,lonely,sad,anxious,or bored.But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too,like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events,like a death or a divorce.　3　  Emotional eating patterns can be learned:A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done.　4　 It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating.But it is possible.And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.  We’re all emotional eaters to a degree.But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem,causing serious weight gain or other problems.The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone,the feelings that cause it remain.　5　 That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.  Next time you reach for a snack,wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it. A.Believe it or not,we’ve all been there. B.If a crying boy gets some cookies,he may link cookies with comfort. C.One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. D.And you may often feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. E.Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it. F.Boys seem to prefer hot,homemade comfort meals,while girls go for chocolate and ice cream. G.More often,though,it’s the countless little daily stresses(压力) that cause someone to seek comfort in food.
