专题08 健康饮食类-五年高考(2014-2018年)英语阅读理解话题分类解读与训练(解析版)
专题08健康饮食类＂饮食与健康＂是高中英语新课标话题当中非常重要的两个话题，饮食与健康自古以来都是人们所关心的重大问题，尤其是随着社会进步和人们物质生活水平的提高，食物质量和安全问题以及身体健康更是受到了人们空前的关注，因此顺应时代潮流，高考英语对这两个话题更是有所体现。
由于饮食与健康是热点话题，高考英语中对这两个话题会涉及较多的考查内容，常以阅读理解、完形填空、语法填空以及书面表达的形式出现，例如2018年新课标卷II阅读理解B篇，2017年新课标卷I语言知识运用的第二节（语法填空），2016年四川卷阅读理解D篇，2016年全国卷Ⅲ七选五，2015年广东卷基础写作，2015课标全国卷Ⅱ阅读理解B篇，2013新课标全国卷Ⅱ阅读理解C篇等。
Passage 1（2018年新课标卷II）Many of us love July because it‟s the month when nature‟s berries and stone fruits are in abu ndance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia‟s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice onthe bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children‟s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.1. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.2. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.3. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.4. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.【文章大意】本文是一篇日常生活类说明文。
文章主要介绍并比较了几种水果各自的营养价值和健康功效，并列出了一些食用这些水果的方法。
3.D 【解析】词义猜测题。
根据最后一段中they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machineand watching the ice cream come out below可知，孩子们喜欢把一些水果和冷冻的香蕉放入到这台机器的上部，然后看到冰激凌从下面出来。
故可以推出a juicer就是一台机器。
故选D。
Passage 2（2016年天津卷）Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day‟s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can — then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to _____________.A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task.B. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.D. After finding a way out.54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us _____________.A. ignore mental problemsB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solution55. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文章。
高考英语时文阅读~Week5健康饮食~配答案
WEEK 5 健康饮食（2）一、阅读理解（共12小题；共24分）APaid Clinical Trials-Volunteers Wanted!What are clinical trials?By becoming a medical trial volunteer you will be assisting in the research of new medicines and your participation is essential for the development of potential treatments and cures.In order to obtain a license for a new medicine, the pharmaceutical company who want to produce it must firstly conduct research into the medicine. This research involves recruiting you, a volunteer, to take part in the clinical trial within a hospital environment so that the effects of the medicine can be closely monitored.In order to check your health, we will ask you to give your consent for us to contact your family doctor. If you agree, we'll invite you in for a screening visit before taking part. During this visit our staff will take your medical history, measure your heart activity (ECG) and blood pressure, and take a small sample of blood and urine to make sure your liver and kidneys are working properly. If you pass the medical check, you may be invited to return for the clinical trial usually three days to one week later. Each trial is different; therefore the individual requirements for you will be different. Think twice before registration. What we can guarantee is that you will be supervised by the most experienced staff who are dedicated to making you as safe as possible.Registration formsIf you would like to take part in a clinical trial at Richmond Pharmacology you can register online. To register, select the link below. Please fill in your contact details and other information about you which will help us determine which trials you are suitable for.Ongoing TrialsPlease choose from the list below the trial you are interested in:● Are you a healthy non-smoker aged 18 to 55? Receive up to ￡2,430 for your time.● Do you have a confirmed medical history of asthma? Receive up to ￡670 for your time. You make money & you make a difference!Sign up for paid clinical trials starting Now!1. The clinical trial is conducted within a hospital environment in order to .A. save the volunteers as soon as possibleB. monitor the effects of the medicine closelyC. reduce the travel expenses of volunteersD. make the experiment as exactly as possible2. The underlined word "consent" is the closest in meaning to .A. permissionB. invitationC. recordD. sample3. During the screening visit, the staff will do the following EXCEPT .A. taking a sample of bloodB. taking your medical historyC. taking your body temperatureD. measuring your heart activity4. We can infer that a clinical trial can be .A. safeB. popularC. riskyD. painfulBMore and more people are aware that an afternoon nap can do a body good. But there are still doubters out there. To help spread the power of the afternoon nap, we list some common myths about napping we still hear.Myth 1: Napping is only for the lazy.Fact: Around a third of American adults nap on the average day, and for good reason: A short nap can boost everything from alertness and memory to creativity and productivity. And none of these sounds like laziness to us!Myth 2: If take a nap, I'll only wake up feeling worse.Fact: That groggy feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name: sleep inertia) but it's not a guarantee. How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep. Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30 minutes. "If you take it longer than 30 minutes, you end up in deep sleep. You're going into a stage of sleep that's very difficult to get out of," said sleep expert Michael J. Breus, Ph.D.Myth 3: You definitely shouldn't nap at work.Fact: In fact, in the office environment, we're all for catching a few winks during the workday. Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce. If your employer doesn't offer a place to lay your head, try to find an empty conference room where you can close a door and dim the lights. Really desperate? Take a nap on your lunch break on a park bench or in your car.Myth 4: I'll be more productive if just finish this task, rather than waste time sleeping.Fact: Yes, you'll be away from your desk if you take 10 to 30 minutes to sleep. But you'll likely make up for that "wasted" time afterward. "My research shows that people deteriorate after a long time of work during the day," Sara Mednick told Business Week. "It's difficult to sustain productivity all day." However, a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to tackle the task at hand.5. According to the passage, a short nap has the following benefits EXCEPT .A. making people think more quicklyB. improving people's memoryC. allowing old people to live longerD. raising people's work efficiency6. Sleep inertia is a condition in which you feel .A. worse after a napB. excited before a napC. refreshed after a napD. calm before a nap7. How you feel after your nap is related to the sleep .A. wayB. placeC. environmentD. duration8. Sara Mednick indicates that .A. taking a short nap at work is a waste of timeB. people become less productive without a napC. people become less productive after a napD. napping is only for the lazy and young childrenCTime may be one of the most essential ingredients for a healthy diet, finds new research in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.Spending more time at home preparing meals is associated with several indicators of a better diet, such as eating more fruits and vegetables. Conversely, spending less than an hour a day preparing food at home is associated with eating more fast food and spending more money eating out.The findings are based on responses from 1,300 adults who participated by phone in the Seattle Obesity Study in 2008 and 2009. Participants answered questions about how many hours a day they averaged preparing and cooking food and cleaning up after meals. They also reported on food consumption and spending, as well as use of restaurants. About 16 percent of participants said they spent less than one hour a day on meal preparation. About 43 percent reported spending between one and two hours per day on meal preparation, while 41 percent said they spent more than two hours a day on it.Employment outside the home was mainly responsible for fewer hours spent preparing meals. Notably, about two-thirds of those who reported that they prepared, cooked and cleaned up were women. People with less time available for meal preparation also appear to value convenience, choosing more often to eat out or to buy fast food and ready-made foods to eat at home."This study shows that not having time available may be one of the most significant barriers to achieving a healthy diet," said Lauri Wright, Ph.D., R.D.N., a nutritionist and assistant professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa.Wright added, "Nutritionists give close consideration to the issue of time when making their recommendations. They can give tips on ways to optimize(优化) time and money, such as planning meals, shopping ahead and preparing some foods in advance that can allow families to have quick-to-prepare healthy meals and snacks."Wright mentioned an observation made in the study, "Besides time and cost, people often don't feel confident about their ability to prepare healthy meals. But they can improve their ability to prepare healthy meals."9. How many of 1,300 participants spent less than one hour a day on meal preparation?A. About 210.B. About 530.C. About 560.D. About 620.10. According to the passage, which of the following factors mainly contributes to fewer hours spent preparing meals?A. Eating more fast food.B. Surfing the internet.C. Buying ready-made foods.D. Working away from homes.11. According to Lauri Wright, having more time available may lead to .A. more delicious mealsB. much worse healthC. healthier dietsD. more fast food12. What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph?A. How to optimize time and money.B. How to improve the ability to prepare healthy meals.C. How to achieve a healthy diet.D. How to clean up after meals.二、完形填空（共20小题；共30分）It's an astonishing act of human generosity. One man donated his stem cells to a 13 living on the other side of the world.

But just how effective are they?E-cigarettes look and feel like real cigarettes, 34. Inside an e-cigarette there's a battery, a heating element and a replaceable cartridge(筒芯) filled with liquids. Some of the liquid solutions have a mixture of nicotine and flavorings(调味品), while others just have flavorings. The heating element creates a vapor from the liquids that smokers can take into their mouth then push out of their mouth.Around 1.3 million Britons now use e-cigarettes. 35. For a start, they satisfy a desire for nicotine. Nicotine is a powerful drug that acts as a stimulant. It's also highly addictive. The tobacco contains over 4,000 chemicals, which sticks in the lungs. However, e-cigarettes have none of these dangerous substances, so you can enjoy them without damaging your health. Plus, there's no ash and no nasty smell. 36. You can smoke e-cigarettes in most bars, pubs and clubs. Can e-cigarettes help smokers give up the habit? Of course! Traditionally, people who want to stop have used gum. However, many find e-cigarettes more effective.37. For a start, there hasn't been much research on e-cigarettes, so no one is sure of the risks. The WHO says that while in e-cigarettes there are fewer chemicals which do harm to health, there are still some. Also, e-cigarettes can become addictive as people often suck on them non-stop, without realizing how much nicotine they're consuming. Others say that they glamorize(美化) smoking, making more teenagers start smoking.The public health officials in the UK have advised sticking to gum instead of e-cigarettes.A. So, why are they so popular?B. So, what are harms of e-cigarettes?C. But that's where the similarity ends.D. However, there are a few drawbacks.E. Some say that e-cigarettes are the answer.F.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 28．Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A．They must run long distances.B．They are qualified for the marathon.C．They have to follow special rules.D．They are good at swinging their legs.29．What advantage does race walking have over running?A．It’s more popular at the Olympics.B．It’s less challenging physically.C．It’s more effective in body building.D．It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.30．What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A．Getting experts’ opinions.B．Having a medical checkup.C．Hiring an experienced coach.D．Doing regular exercises.31．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A．Skeptical.B．Objective.C．Tolerant.D．Conservative.【答案】28．C29．D30．A31．B【解析】这是一篇说明文。

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Food-as-Medicine Movement Is Witnessing Progress[A] Several times a month, you can find a doctor in the aisles of Ralph’s market in Huntington Beach,California, wearing a white coat and helping people learn about food. On one recent day, this doctor was Daniel Nadeau, wandering the cereal aisle with Allison Scott, giving her some idea on how to feed kids who persistently avoid anything that is healthy. “Have you thought about trying fresh juices in the morning?” he asks her. “The frozen oranges and apples are a little cheaper, and fruits are really good for the brain. Juices are quick and easy to prepare, you can take the frozen fruit out the night before and have it ready the next morning.”[B] Scott is delighted to get food advice from a physician who is program director of the nearby Mary and Dick Allen Diabetes Center, part of the St. Joseph Hoag Health alliance. The center’s ‘Shop with Your Doc’ pr ogram sends doctors to the grocerystore to meet with any patients who sign up for the service, plus any other shoppers who happen to be around with questions.[C] Nadeau notices the pre-made macaroni (通心粉)-and-cheese boxes in Scott’s shopping cart and sug gests she switch to whole grain macaroni and real cheese. “So I’d have to make it?”she asks, her enthusiasm fading at the thought of how long that might take, just to have her kids reject it. “I’m not sure they’d eat it. They just won’t eat it.”[D] Nadeau says sugar and processed foods are big contributors to the rising diabetes rates among children. “In America, over 50 percent of our food is processed food,” Nadeau tells her. “And only 5 percent of our food is plant-based food. I think we should try to r everse that.” Scott agrees to try more fruit juices for the kids and to make real macaroni and cheese. Score one point for the doctor, zero for diabetes.[E] Nadeau is part of a small revolution developing across California. The food-as-medicine movement has been around for decades, but it’s making progress as physicians and medical institutions make food a formal part of treatment, rather than relying solely on medications (药物). By prescribing nutritional changes or launching programs such as ‘Shop with your Doc’, they are trying to prevent, limit or even reverse disease by changing what patients eat. “There’s no question people can take things a long way toward reversing diabetes, reversing high blood pressure, even preventing cancer by food choices,” Nadeau says.[F] In the big picture, says Dr. Richard Afable, CEO and president of ST. Joseph Hoag Health, medical institutions across the state are starting to make a philosophical switch to becoming a health organization, not just a health care organization. Thatfeeling echoes the beliefs of the Therapeutic Food Pantry program at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, which completed its pilot phase and is about to expand on an ongoing basis to five clinic sites throughout the city. The program will offer patients several bags of food prescribed for their condition, along with intensive training in how to cook it. “We really want to link food and medicine, and not just give away food,” says Dr. Rita Nguyen, the hospital’s medical director of Healthy Food Initiatives. “We want people to understand what they’re eating, how to prepare it, the role food plays in their lives.”[G] In Southern California, Loma Linda University School of Medicine is offering specialized training for its resident physicians in Lifestyle Medicine — that is a formal specialty in using food to treat disease. Research findings increasingly show the power of food to treat or reverse diseases, but that does not mean that diet alone is always the solution, or that every illness can benefit substantially from dietary changes. Nonetheless, physicians say that they look at the collective data and a clear picture emerges: that the salt, sugar, fat and processed foods in the American diet contribute to the nation’s high rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. According to the World Health Organization, 80 percent of deaths from heart disease and stroke are caused by high blood pressure, tobacco use, elevated cholesterol and low consumption of fruits and vegetables.[H] “It’s a different pa radigm(范式) of how to treat disease,” says Dr. Brenda Rea, who helps run the family and preventive medicine residency program at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. The lifestyle medicine specialty is designed to train doctors in how to prevent and treat disease, in part, by changing patients’ nutritional habits. The medical center and school atLoma Linda also has a food cupboard and kitchen for patients. This way, patients not only learn about which foods to buy, but also how to prepare them at home.[I] Many people don’t know how to cook, Rea says, and they only know how to heat things up. That means depending on packaged food with high salt and sugar content. So teaching people about which foods are healthy and how to prepare them, she says, can act ually transform a patient’s life. And beyond that, it might transform the health and lives of that patient’s family. “What people eat can be medicine or poison,” Rea says. “As a physician, nutrition is one of the most powerful things you can change to reverse the effects of long-term disease.”[J] Studies have explored evidence that dietary changes can slow inflammation(炎症), for example, or make the body inhospitable to cancer cells. In general, many lifestyle medicine physicians recommend a plant-based diet —particularly for people with diabetes or other inflammatory conditions.[K] “As what happened with tobacco, this will require a cultural shift, but that can happen,” says Nguyen. “In the same way physicians used to smoke, and then stopped smoking and were able to talk to patients about it, I think physicians can havea bigger voice in it.”36. More than half of the food Americans eat is factory-produced.37. There is a special program that assigns doctors to give advice to shoppers in food stores.38.

Passage 1（2018年·新课标II卷）体裁话题词数难度建议时间议论文放下手机，与人沟通330 ★★☆☆☆5分钟We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward an d challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small tal k as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’teven exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. ＂Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with smalltalk,＂ he explains. ＂The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.＂In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. ＂It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,＂ says Dunn. ＂But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.＂Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. ＂Small talk is the basis of good manners,＂ he says.32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.34. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people’s confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk.D. It makes people feel good.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD. Uncomfortable Silence【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。

阅读理解Sicilian Rouge High GABA is a special type of tomato designed to contain high levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (氨基丁酸), an amino acid believed to aid relaxation and help lower blood pressure.Tokyo-based startup Sanatech Seed Company teamed up with scientists at the University of Tsukuba to develop a new variety of tomatoes using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. Named Sicilian Rouge High GABA, this new type of tomato contains five to six times the normal level of a type of amino acid called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA．According to Japanese media, the company removed an inhibitory domain (抑制域)within the tomato’s genome to enable it to produce these high levels of GABA．According to Shimpei Takeshita, President of Sanatech Seed and Chief Innovation Officer of Pioneer EcoScience, the exclusive distributor of the tomato, the company was given permission to commercialize the genetically changed Sicilian Rouge High GABA variety last December, and contract farmers who have been growing them ever since. Now, the tomatoes are ready to hit store shelves.“At first, we got mixed reactions to genome- edited foods, and we thought it would be difficult to bring them to market as they’re not fully understood by consumers,” Tatsuo Takeshita, chair of Sanatech Seed told NHK. “But the tomatoes earned a good name from those who took part in the trials.”A Japanese health ministry committee gave Sanatech Seed permission to commercialize the new tomato variety. They provided notification and the startup plans to ship each package of tomatoes with a sticker that says “improved using genome-editing technology”.Unlike genetically modified foods, genome-edited plant varieties are considered just as safe as varieties improved using traditional methods because no outside gene is introduced during the process.Sanatech Seed has already started accepting online orders for Sicilian Rouge High GABA tomatoes. A 3-kilogram box of tomatoes will reportedly cost 7,500 yen. That’s a lot of money for tomatoes.1．What do we know about Sicilian Rouge High GABA?A．It is beneficial to our health.B．It can promote tomatoes’ output.C．It contains high level of nutrition.D．It can make people energetic.2．Who permitted the new tomatoes into the market?A．President of the Sanatech Seed Company,B．The University of Tsukuba, Tokyo.C．A Japanese health ministry committee.D．Chair of Tatsuo Takeshita Company. 3．How is the genome-edited plant regarded?A．Harmful.B．Easy.C．Traditional.D．Secure.4．What is the writer’s attitude to Sicilian Rouge High GABA?A．Curious.B．Subjective.C．Dissatisfied.D．Objective.Molecular gastronomy is nothing new. The art of breaking down a dish into its individual parts has been around for many years. You see it most commonly on cooking shows as the “deconstructed forms of popular meals. For example, a deconstructed Lasagna might consist of tomato soup, cheese curds, and tiny pieces of pasta — they’re all the parts that make up a lasagna, separated and presented on their own. As a cooking method, molecular gastronomy’s meant to take familiar tastes and present them in a new and adventurous way using special equipment and techniques. It’s expensive and time-consuming, but does present a unique dining experience that is impossible to recreate at home. Some ingredients are prepared through freeze-drying or dehydration — it’s very different from baking a loaf of bread or a cake.French chemist Herve This believes instead of using traditional ingredients to add flavors, we’ll use their chemical compounds to recreate those flavors in other foods. “In 2050,” he said, “there will be many more people on Earth. This means getting enough protein will become a problem and the solution will probably be plant or insect proteins. We need expertise to cook these new ingredients. We are slowly introducing them so the public can use them. This is note by note cooking.”His argument causes concern: most people, used to proteins from meat or plants, are going to feel uneasy about the new sources. He also shows that the “clean label” movement is harmful to our diets. The idea behind it is a move towards shorter ingredient lists with familiar ingredients. While there are chemical compounds in food that can do us harm, it has led to the public fearing unfamiliar terms on the back of the package. “Take citric acid for example. It is in lemon, so what’s the problem?” he asks.Whether you agree or disagree, it will take molecular gastronomy some time to truly take over the entire world. Cooking, no matter the method, is a form of chemistry. It makes sense to advance it alongside the other sciences. So, while pizza won’t be delivered flash-frozen or dehydrated any time soon, it may one day in the not-too-distant future.5．Why is the deconstructed lasagna mentioned in paragraph 1?A．To encourage people to cook at home.B．To make molecular gastronomy easy to understand.C．To show how people can have a pleasant dining experience.D．To explain how molecular gastronomy is applied in practice.6．What has caused a need for note by note cooking according to Herve This?A．The serious lack of expert cooks.B．The growing population of the world.C．The public’s easy acceptance of plant proteins.D．The public’s reduced interest in traditional ingredients.7．What can we know about the “clean label” movement?A．It is environment-friendly.B．It leads to people going on a diet.C．It can mislead people sometimes.D．It has caused people lots of trouble. 8．What is the author’s attitude towards molecular gastronomy?A．Carefree.B．Doubtful.C．Worried.D．Positive.Beer seldom lasts long, and sometimes there is can or bottle leftover after a party. When this occurs, the leftover can be used in a variety of ways, many of which most people would never think of.Beer is a surprisingly good wood furniture polish. Let a can of beer go completely stale（不新鲜）and pour a little onto a soft cloth. Polish your furniture with the cloth and follow up with a dry cloth.You will be amazed at how shiny your furniture will end up looking.The slug（蛞蝓虫）is a terrible pest in the garden，particularly if you are growing plants for eating. Instead of using chemicals on your vegetables, bury a small cup in the garden and pour fresh beer in it. The slugs will be attracted to the smell, get drunk and drown. Be sure to refresh the beer daily, and you would have a cup full of slugs and healthy-looking cabbages.Bees are also attracted by the smell of beer, so try putting a few open beer cans around the yard at your BBQ and you can enjoy BBQ in a nature-like garden. Obviously you should put the cans away from where people will be sitting or standing, and make sure that no one decides to drink from one of the cans when they are drunk-it will result in a very unpleasant situation.Beer is also an excellent skin conditioner. If you want to have a long bath, pour a good can of dark beer into the water in advance. This is a nice substitute to salt which softens water. Also if you have a stomach upset, slowly drinking a can of beer can help to settle it down. The alcohol in the beer can help to ease the pain.9．From the first paragraph we know that .A．beer can have a long quality guarantee period B．people often make leftover when drinking beerC．most people ignore the use of the beer leftover D．beer cans or bottles can be recycled in many ways10．Taking the example of the two insects, the author tries to tell us .A．some insects prefer the smell of fresh beerB．the beer in open cans can be more attractive to insectsC．slugs and bees can be harmful to picnickersD．pouring some beer on plants can drive insects away11．The author believes that dark beer can .A．help soften water B．be used to replace saltC．prevent stomachache happening D．ease the pain after drinking alcohol 12．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Polish your furniture with beer.B．Improve your garden with beer.C．Try to drink beer in a healthy way.D．Learn to make the most of beer.Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition. Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture.It is said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5,000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. The servants began to make water hot enough to turn into gas for him to drink. Dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The king drank some, and found it could make him feel less tried.Also as a scientist, Shen Nong was interested in the new drink. And so, tea was created in 2737 BC．Drinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following helpful advice.Drink it hot. Tea oxidizes(氧化) quickly, so it is suggested that you drink it hot.Do not drink too much strong tea. It will probably be harmful to your stomach and make you feel sick if you make the tea too strong.The best time to drink tea is between meals. It may not make you have a strong wish to eat when your stomach is full.Do not drink with medicine. It many change the medical result. You can drink tea two hours after you take medicine.Green tea is the best choice for office workers. Why? Because green tea helps stop the bad result of the computer.13．Paragraph 2 is mainly about __________.A．when King Shen Nong livedB．where Chinese tea was createdC．How Chinese tea was discoveredD．why King Shen Nong drank tea14．Drinking tea has lots of advantages EXCEPT __________.A．help you lose weight B．letting you feel less tiredC．having a strong wish for food D．clearing heat inside your body15．Mr. Smith is a computer teacher. He’d better drink __________.A．Green tea B．black tea C．strong tea D．coffee with milk 16．What can we infer(推断) from the passage?A．Don’t drink too much strong tea.B．Not all office workers drink green teaC．Tea is connected with Chinese culture closely.D．King Shen Nong loved creating new things17．The passage is mainly written to ______.A．let us know tea was discoveredB．give some advice drinking teaC．tell people the history of teaD．advise people to drink green teaThere is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our families often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavour can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavours that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should not only embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture’s food, but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is 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. Food is a window on culture, and it should be treated as such.18．What’s the function of food mentioned in the text?A．To help motivate homesickness.B．To show cultural identity.C．To reflect a country’s history.D．To show a community’s superiority.19．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The specific traditional food.B．The national culture.C．A traditional expression of food.D．The old-fashioned taste.20．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants?A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.C．To make the dishes popular among customers.D．To present their own food culture in a new way.21．What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?A．Negative.B．Balanced.C．Unfair.D．Unchangeable.People in different places have very different ideas about what to eat. In our country, for example, people from the south like to eat rice while people in the north love dumplings or noodles. In Hunan or Sichuan, hot food is people’s favorite; however, people in Shanghai or Suzhou eat sweet dish almost every day.But even if people live in the same part of the country, their tastes (口味) are not always the same. Old people and young ones have different tastes; men and women also have their different preferences (喜好). In a restaurant, some customs order thick and heavy soup, while others drink thin and clear one. A few people only eat vegetables. They do not eat fish or chicken at all!So it is not easy for restaurants to meet the needs of all customers (顾客). To make more money, the restaurants in cities try their best to cook different kinds of foods.22．What do people from the south like to eat?A．Noodles.B．Dumplings.C．Rice.D．Bread.23．What kind of food do you think He Jiong in the TV program The Happy Camp perhaps likes to eat?A．Hot food.B．Sweet food.C．Salty food.D．Cold food. 24．Do people in the same part always have the same tastes?A．No, they don’t.B．Yes, they do.C．Sorry, I don’t know.D．Yes, of course.25．Why do restaurants try their best to cook different kinds of foods?A．To make more money.B．To meet more people.C．To be good at cooking.D．To get enough customers.Tempeh, a traditional soy product from Indonesia, is hailed as the country’s “gift to the world,” like kimchi from Korea or miso from Japan.A stable, cheap source of protein in Indonesia for centuries, tempeh is a fermented (发酵的) food originating from the island of Java. It was discovered during tofu production when discarded soybean residue caught microbial spores from the air and grew certain whitish fungi around it. When this fermented residue (残渣) was found to be edible and tasty, people began producing it at home for daily consumption across the country. This has given rise to many variations in its flavor and texture throughout different Indonesian regions.Tempeh is high in protein and low in fat, and contains a host of vitamins. In fact, it is the only reported plant-based source of vitamin B12. Apart from being able to help reduce cholesterol (胆固醇), increase bone density, and promote muscle recovery, tempeh has a lot of polyphenols that protect skin cells and slow down the aging process. Best of all, with the same protein quality as meat and the ability to take on many flavors and textures, tempeh is a great meat substitute —something the vegetarian and vegan communities have been quick in adopting.In addition to its highly nutritional makeup, tempeh has diverse preparation possibilities. It can be served as a main course (usually in curries) or a side dish to be eaten with rice, as adeep-fried snack, or even blended into smoothies and healthy juices. Though not yet a popular food among international diners, you may find tempeh-substituted BLTs (bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches) in San Francisco as easily as you can find vegetarian burgers with tempeh patties in Bali.For the people of Indonesia, tempeh is not just food but also has cultural value. With the Indonesian traditional fabric batik (蜡染) being recognized by UNESCO as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,” tempeh has great potential for this honor as well.26．According to the passage, which of the following is true about tempeh?A．It is mainly served as a side dish.B．It is formed from fermented soybeans.C．It is discarded when fungi grow around it.D．It has the same nutritional benefits as kimchi. 27．What aspects of tempeh are discussed in paragraphs 2 to 4?A．Origin→nutrition→cuisine.B．Origin→cuisine→marketing. C．Cuisine→nutrition→marketing.D．Distribution→cuisine→nutrition. 28．Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?A．Senior citizens will eat tempeh as vitamin supplement.B．Tempeh will soon be more popular than kimchi or miso.C．The nutrition of tempeh will be reduced with mass production.D．Tempeh is likely to be recognized as an international cultural symbol.29．Which of the followings can be a suitable title of this passage?A．Do You Know How Tempeh Is Made?B．Tempeh: A Traditional Delicacy From Java.C．Will Tempeh Be Popular Among Vegetarians?D．Tempeh: The Cultural Heritage Of Indonesia.New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found being confident in the kitchen is not only good for your taste buds, it’s also good for your mental health.In total, 657 participants undertook the seven-week healthy cooking course. Researchers found those who participated in the program saw significant improvements in general health, mental health and subjective vitality immediately after the program which remained six months after completing the course, when compared to the study’s control group.“Improving people’s diet quality can be a preventive strategy to stop or slow the rise in poor mental health, obesity and other health disorders,” Dr Joanna Rees said. “Future health programs should continue to prioritise the barriers to healthy eating such as poor food environments and time restrictions, while placing greater emphasis on the value of healthy eating via quick and easy home-cooked meals, rich in fruit and vegetables and avoiding processed convenience foods.”The Institute has previously found a link between eating more fruits and vegetables, and improved longer term mental health in a larger study collecting more complex dietary data, implying the participants in the current study may have felt better due to improved diet. However, the study showed participants’ mental health improved despite their reported diet not being found to have changed after completing the program.At the start of the program, 77 per cent of participants who’ identified as female claimed to be confident about cooking, compared to just 23 per cent of those who identified as male. But atthe end of the program, cooking confidence and cooking skills were equal across both groups.This change in confidence could see change to the household food environment by reducing the gender prejudice and leading to a gender balance in home cooking. This in turn may help to overcome some of the barriers presented by not knowing how to cook, such as easing the time limits which can lead to ready-made meals which are high in energy but low in nutritional value. 30．What can we learn from what Dr Joanna Rees said?A．Processed convenience foods benefit people.B．Time restrictions lead to healthy eating.C．He thinks it urgent to improve people’s diet quality.D．Home-cooked meals are better choices.31．What is the benefit of eating more fruit and vegetables?A．Better mental health.B．Improved memories.C．Losing weight.D．Increasing creativity.32．How did researchers know cooking can increase confidence?A．By answering questions.B．By making contrasts.C．By giving examples.D．By analyzing causes.33．What is a suitable title for the text?A．Is the Kitchen Revolution Important?B．Learning Cooking Course Turns PopularC．Healthy Home Cooking Equals a Healthy MindD．Being Confident in the Kitchen Benefits ConfidenceA car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong, so take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether.

2018年中考英语真题分类汇编题型3阅读理解专项训练八饮食、卫生与健康(含解析)
专项训练八饮食、卫生与健康时间：8～10分钟/篇分值：2分/小题Passage 1(2018天津)Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it taes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines(航空公司) offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would lie to do so because they don't want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔) we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane taes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉) of our taste buds(味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don't now it.All of these help eplain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help eplain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的) food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are ased to lie with their feet higher than their heads for wees. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, maing food taste good is still hard for them.( )1. In Paragraph 2, “this problem”means ________．A. passengers stay long in the planeB. food on the plane tastes badC. passengers have no food to eatD. food on the plane is epensive( )2. What do airlines do to solve this problem?A. Get more customers.B. Offer more food.C. Improve their food.D. Reduce the ticet price.( )3. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces ________ of the sensibility of our taste buds.A. halfB. one thirdC. one fourthD. one fifth( )4. Why do scientists feel it hard to mae food on the plane taste good?A. The volunteers don't now about food taste.B. The volunteers don't understand them.C. They can't find enough volunteers.D. They can't deal with the special environment successfully.( )5. What is the best title of the passage?A. Taste of Airplane FoodB. Airplane TravelC. Scientific Research on NosesD. The Change in Air PressurePassage 2(2018东营)It seems that school children all over the world complain(抱怨)about their school food. What do students of your age eat for lunch at school in other countries?JapanHigh schools have dining rooms. They serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home, such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, picles(泡菜)and vegetables. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.United StatesA typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicen, lettuce and picles, fruit and cooies. School lunches must also provide at least one third of the daily amount(总量)of necessary nutrition(营养)，such as, vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium(钙)．AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls(香肠卷)and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the country pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to appear on school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red labeled(标注)foods, including cooies, chocolate and soft drins, is served only twice a wee. Healthier green labeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelons, however, are available every day.South AfricaMost of South African schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1：30 p．m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students. As a result, it has caused a rise in obesity(肥胖)among children. But as more people began to realie that being too fat may cause different inds of serious illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are offered lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.( )1. High schools in Japan serve________．A. noodles and riceB. burgers and rice ballsC. chips and vegetablesD. fish and roast chicen( )2.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Parents in Japan are invited to taste the food twice a year.B. In the United States, school lunches must provide at least one third of the daily amount of necessary nutrition.C. In Australia, many schools have used a traffic light system.D. In South Africa, schools don't serve meals.Passage 3(2018长沙)Why is clean water so important to developing countries? A recent report shows that about 80 percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation(卫生)conditions.
