2017年中考英语阅读理解练习题：英国餐饮文化English breakfast is a very big meal-eggs，tomatoes，tea，coffee....For many people lunch is a quick meal.In cities there are a lot of sandwich bars，where office workers can buy the kind of bread they want- brown，white，or a roll(小圆面包)-and then all kinds of salad(色拉)and meat or fish to go in the sandwich.School children can have a hot meal at school.But many just take a sandwich，a drink and some fruit from home."Tea"means two things.It is a drink and a meal!Some people have afternoon tea，with sandwiches，cakes and a cup of tea.They usually have the evening meal quite early，between 6：00 and 8：00，and often all the family eat together.On Sundays many families have a traditional(传统的)lunch.They have chicken，pork...with potatoes，vegetables...The Englishmen like food from other countries，too，especially(特别地)French，Chinese， Italian and Indian.People often get take-away food-they buy the food outside and then bring it home to eat.根据短文内容及首字母提示在下列各句中的空处填入适当的词。

中考英语阅读理解专项训练---饮食、卫生与健康Passage 1Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes 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 like 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 takes 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 know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain 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 asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. 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, making food taste good is still hard for them.()1. In Para graph 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 expensive()2. What do airlines do to solve this problem?A. Get more customers.B. Offer more food.C. Improve their food.D. Reduce the ticket 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 make food on the plane taste good?A. The volunteers don't know 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 2It 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, pickles(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 chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. 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 cookies, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. 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 realize that being too fat may cause different kinds 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 chicken()2. From the passage, we know the typical menu from a US school is________．A. deliciousB. quite healthyC. not very healthyD. popular in South Africa()3. Which are traditional dishes in Australia?A. Meat pies and hotdogs.B. Chocolate and soft drinks.C. Cookies and sushi.D. Sandwiches and corn.()4. In South Africa，________．A. most students have sandwiches and vegetables for lunchB. students like fast food and fried food very muchC. more and more students become illD. students realized that fast food and fried food were bad for their health()5. 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 3Why 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. In those countries, women and girls spend several hours collecting water, but often polluted, far away from their families. The polluted water more or less influences their health. In this case, there is an urgent(迫切的) need for people in developing countries to have access to(有机会或权利使用) clean water to improve their health.Here is a short story about Hadjara Zakari, a 12-year-old girl in Niger. Having access to clean water changed her life. She learned about the importance of hand-washing when the school first received clean water three years ago. That evening, she told her father, “You shouldn't eat with me unless you clean your hands.” Her father was very angry and shouted at her, “It's not up to you to tell me what to do！” Stunned(目瞪口呆的), Hadjara sat in silence. But she knew she was right. In protest,_Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night. After her father questioned Hadjara's head teacher, he understood the importance of hand-washing and his daughter's intentions(目的). The girl really wanted her family to live longer and healthier lives.For people in developing countries, clean water can change many things, especially improve their health. So, from now on, let's avoid wasting water and take action to save water, which is important to people all over the world.()1. According to the recent report, poor water and low sanitation conditions can cause ________．A. traffic problemsB. forest firesC. many illnesses()2. The key to improving people's health in developing countries is ________ in Paragraph 1.A. to get clean waterB. to exercise oftenC. to refuse drugs()3. What can we infer(推断) from Paragraph 2?A. Hadjara laughed at her father's foolishness.B. Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night in order to lose weight.C. Hadjara's father understood his daughter's love and care for him later.()4. The underlined word “protest” in this passage means ________．A. 抗议B. 保护C. 节约()5. The purpose of the writer is to ________．A. teach people how to wash handsB. call on people all over the world to save waterC. show developing countries rich in clean water饮食、卫生与健康参考答案Passage 1【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文，文章讲述了为什么我们会觉得飞机上的食物不好吃的原因。

The passage mainly tells us .A. where to eatB. how to eatC. why to eatD. when to eatBYou may not have heard the words "freshman fifteen" before, but they are important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college student. "Fifteen" means fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added to a student's weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain(获得) weight; but it's encouraging to know that freshman don't have to add these harmful(有害的) fifteen pounds.Mistakes choosing foodUniversity kitchens serve many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby(在身边) to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as hamburgers. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.Eating rightIf you're careful, you don't have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas.● Think more about what you eat.● Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meat.● Don't eat desserts(甜点) full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.● Try not to eat so much junk food (垃圾食品) while you study.● It's all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.● Write down the food you eat.● Walk, run, do sports—Move and you will feel better!Remember that the "freshman fifteen" can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not eat junk food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.6.

The writer of the passage would probably agree that .A. think little about what you eatB. students can eat whatever they likeC. gaining fifteen pounds can help you study betterD. friends can help you to eat right and live happilyCSometimes it may seem difficult to improve our health. If so, the following health habits may help you.Eat breakfast every morning.Research shows that if you eat a meal in the morning you may not become too fat or eat too much during lunch. Eating breakfast can help people feel better through the day.Get enough sleep.Poor sleep can influence our memory and learning. It can also cause traffic accident! Studies show that people who don't get enough sleep seem to get into more accidents. So stay safe and get enough sleep!Take a walk every day.Walking is an easy way to exercise. You'd better meet friends for a walk, not for a meal. As you walk, you will see the beautiful world around you. Once you try, you will find that adding a walk into your daily life is very easy.Join social groups.Social groups can provide support. They might include sport teams, art or music groups. The people in the group can offer advice and can help each other in difficult times. Also, being in a group keeps your mind busy.

Passage 1Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes (基因) and aging (老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you’d better take a break every once in a while.Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example,sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eatfood groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly (定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.1. is the most important way to protect our eyes.A.Taking medicineB.Natural eye careC.Seeing the doctorD.Being happy all the time2.All the following causes can lead to poor eyesight EXCEPT .A. computersB. agingC. readingD. height3.What should you do if you have to work in front of a computer according to the text?A.Have a rest after working for a while.B.Eat healthy foods.C.Clean the eyes by using cold water.D.Wear a pair of sunglasses.4.What do the underlined phase “UV rays”mean in Chinese?

2017年健康饮食高考英语作文题真题解析In the 2017 English exam for the college entrance examination (commonly known as the "gaokao"), one of the essay topics focused on the theme of healthy eating. This essay aims to provide a thorough analysis and explanation of the given topic, offering valuable insights into the importance of a balanced diet and its impact on our overall well-being.IntroductionThe importance of a healthy diet cannot be overstated. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the relationship between nutrition and health. As such, it is crucial for individuals, especially students, to adopt healthy eating habits to support their physical and mental development.Body1. The significance of a balanced dietA balanced diet refers to the intake of appropriate amounts of nutrients from all food groups. It includes an optimal combination of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. This fundamental concept of nutrition ensures that the body receives adequate nourishment for proper growth and functioning.2. Health benefits of a balanced dietConsuming a balanced diet brings various health benefits. Firstly, it supports overall physical health by boosting the immune system and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. Secondly, a balanced diet positively affects mentalwell-being, improving concentration, memory, and overall cognitive function.3. Nutritional deficiencies and their consequencesNot consuming a balanced diet can lead to nutritional deficiencies. For instance, inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illnesses. Additionally, a lack of essential nutrients can hinder growth and development, especially in young individuals, potentially leading to stunted physical and cognitive growth.4. The impact of unhealthy eating habitsUnhealthy eating habits, such as excessive consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and fast food, can have detrimental effects on one's health. These habits often result in a high intake of unhealthy fats, added sugars, and artificial additives, leading to weight gain, increased risk of obesity, and related health issues.5. Recommended strategies for maintaining a healthy dietTo maintain a healthy diet, it is essential to incorporate the following strategies:a) Consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables: Incorporating a wide range of fruits and vegetables ensures the intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.b) Limiting processed and sugary foods: Reducing the consumption of processed foods, sugary snacks, and beverages is crucial to avoid unnecessary calories and added sugars.c) Drinking an adequate amount of water: Staying hydrated is essential for proper bodily function, including digestion and waste removal.d) Practicing mindful eating: Paying attention to portion sizes, eating slowly, and listening to one's body's hunger and fullness cues helps maintain a healthy balance.ConclusionIn conclusion, a balanced diet plays a key role in promoting optimal health and well-being. The 2017 high school English exam essay topic highlighted the significance of healthy eating habits, encouraging students to prioritize their nutritional needs. By understanding the importance of a balanced diet, individuals can make informed choices about their food consumption, leading to improved physical and mental health outcomes. It is crucial for everyone to adopt healthy eating habits to ensure a better quality of life in the long run.。

Passage 1It is surprising that eating three meals a day --breakfast, lunch and dinner --has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time, they only had two meals a day -- breakfast and dinner.In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one’s fast (随便吃一点). But 200 years later it had become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a. m. and became a family meal.Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11p.m.Years later, it had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p. m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p. m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap(间隙)between breakfast and dinner.1. English people did not have lunch _______.A. after 1890B. until 1890C. in 1890D. by 18502. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means that _______.A. dinner didn’t go there with breakfastB. dinner is the same with breakfastC. dinner is different from breakfastD. dinner took the same way with breakfast3. The passage is mostly about___________.A. the history of breakfastB. what people eat for dinnerC. what people eat for breakfastD. the history of lunch4. The passage leads the readers to believe that __________.A. after1890 people couldn’t eat the three meals a dayB. our custom of meals is based on English customC. breakfast is the most important meal for usD. the body can get used to two or three meals a dayPassage 2People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child’s sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved, even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood(心情).1. Why do fewer people cook now?A. They are lazy.B. They are too busy.C. Many people don’t like cooking.D. They don’t like family meals.2. A parent spends an hour making cookies _______.A. just to satisfy her or his child’s sweet toothB. only to send a messageC. to let a child eat up in 15 minutesD. often to show her or his love3. The writer thinks the smell of home cooking _______.A. makes us happyB. makes us be interested in cookingC. makes us pay attention to our moodD. makes us love others4. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Family meals are important.B. How to make cookies.C. People are too busy to cook.D. Homemade cookies taste betterPassage 3With the development of society, many people are coming under the umbrella of fatness. Not just adults，but even children are getting overweight. Today some of the newborn babies are also born fat. It has been proved that the people living in the western developed countries are more likely to become overweight. There are a number of causes behind this.The people in the developed countries including the United States almost enjoy all the comforts of life. Almost all the things in the lives of the people living in these countries are at their finger tips.A very limited amount of movement and physical effort is required to do any kind of job. Becauseof the fact that these countries are quite developed，most of the jobs that the people take up are desk jobs. So the lifestyle of them is just around the office desk.Most of the western developed countries are cold ones. Nature demands that people eat the kinds of food so as to make them stand the coldness. Therefore，wine，fatty dairy products，bread，junk food，and red meat become important diets in these countries.However，the blame cannot be entirely put on the unhealthy eating habits of the people. Technology allows them to import almost all the food products that they do not grow. Although some healthy foods are grown in the countries nowadays，the quantity is very limited. It is not enough to meet the demand. So when they are not available and fatty foods are cheaper, people prefer to go for the eating habit that they have always been following.1. According to Paragraph 2，most people in the developed countries do ______.A. office jobsB. management jobsC. physical jobsD. tiring jobs2. According to the text, the reason why people in the western developed countries have to eat somefatty foods is that ____.A. the unhealthy eating habit is not importantB. fatty foods cost less to buy and healthy foods are in shortageC. healthy foods are in shortage and fatty foods are abundant.D. they can’t put the blame on their eating habits.3. The purpose of the author in writing the text is to _________.A. warn us of our bad eating habits in the developed countriesB. remind us of the relation between food and weight gainC. inform us of the causes of weight gain in the developed countriesD. tell us that fatness in the developed countries is natural4. People in the western developed countries often __________.A. carry umbrellas with themB. blame the fatness on the weatherC. grow a lot of healthy foods in their countriesD. eat to protect themselves from the coldnessPassage 4Legends about the development of coffee are varied and interesting, involving chance occurrences, political tricks, and the pursuit of wealth and power.According to one story, a sheepherder named Kaldi, as he tended his sheep, noticed the effect of coffee beans. He noticed that the sheep became excited after eating the red “cherries" from a certain plant when they changed pastures (牧场). He tried it himself, and was soon as overactive as his sheep. Another story relates that a monk happened to discover that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help him stay awake.Another legend gives us the name for coffee, “mocha”. Omar, an Arabian was thrown to the desert with his followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the soup save the group, but the residents of the nearest town, Mocha, took their survival as a religious sign. The plant and its beverage (饮料) were named Mocha to honor this event.Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia, whose inhabitants believed it to be a tasty thing and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans. The government forbade transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled (走私) beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, some of those original plants were found stillgrowing fruitfully in the region.Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries can profitably export.【小题1】What does the second paragraph mainly talk aboutA．A sheepherder used coffee beans to keep sheep excited.B．Coffee was a special kind of red cherry from a certain plant.C．A sheepherder and a monk accidentally discovered coffee’s effect.D．Sheep ate a lot of coffee beans while they changed pastures.【小题2】Which of the following involves political tricksA．Kaldi’s story. B．The monk’s story.C．Omar’s story. D．Baba Budan’s story.【小题3】Mocha is originally the name of ______.A．a town B．an Arabian C．a kind of coffee D．a sheepherder【小题4】What can be the best title for the textA．The Secret of Coffee B．The Tales of CoffeeC．People’s Love for Coffee D．The Function of CoffeePassage 5A turkey named Courage gave thanks to President Obama for saving his life on the day beforeThanksgiving. Honouring a 62-year-old tradition, the President pardoned the bird on Thanksgiving eve.The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the White House website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress（议会）ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.1. That the turkey Courage was pardoned was decided by ________.A. George BushB. CongressC. President TrumanD. the public2. The first Thanksgiving Day was held to ________.A. celebrate the harvest of British settlersB. celebrate the progress of AmericansC. encourage the struggle with British settlersD. celebrate the joy of all Americans after a hard winter3. In 1939, President Roosevelt put forward the national day of Thanksgiving to ________.A. encourage the economyB. help the poorC. please CongressD. lengthen the summer holidays4. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. President Obama pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving because of the economic crisisB. the turkey named Courage was pardoned by President Roosevelt before ThanksgivingC. the pardoned turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden on Thanksgiving eveD. the pardoned turkey will appear in a celebrating parade of Thanksgiving DayPassage 6How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life — it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”1. From the paragraph we know that working women .A. think cooking is especially complicatedB. do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC. are busy and not interested in cookingD. are likely to eat healthfully2. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .A. it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC. it is largely orange-colored sugar waterD. it produces nothing but calories3. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .A. an effort with no resultsB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on fruitless dietD. a diet serving as medicine4. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .A. a balanced diet can result in being fatB. staying thin and healthy are both possibleC. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thinD. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food5. By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and mineralsD. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no usePassage 7We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are nauseating(令人作呕的). When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists(人类学家) try todiscover the hidden reasons for taboos.Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic(游牧的) people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and the meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.1.What’s the main topic of this passage?A. Food and religion.B. Food and culture.C. Nutrition of different foods.D. Different ways of life.2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about food likes and dislikes?A. They are seldom related to nutrition.B. They are mostly associated with people’s taste.C. They are mostly connected with people’s life styles.D. They are usually related to cultures or religions.3.The underlined word “taboo” (Line 3, Para. 3) refers to _____.A. something undiscoveredB. certain religionsC. something forbiddenD. certain foods4. What can we infer from the passage?A. It is believed that brcoccoli is more nutritious than tomatoes.B. Americans prefer tomatoes to beef.C. People in Inner Mongolia would probably like to keep pigs for food.D. The famous boxer Muhamm Ali would like to eat rat rather than butterfly.5.Why do Americans prefer to eat beef?A. Because beef provides a lot of energy people require.B. Because beef is on the list of the most nutritious foods.C. Because they have the ideal condition to keep and ship cattle.D. Because cattle are large animals.Passage 8Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds. (2) citrus(柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal(谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw(生的) or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry.The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.1. According to the scientists, which of the following groups of food is the healthiest for your lunch?A. chicken, apples, cereal, cabbagesB. potatoes, carrots, rice, breadC. oranges, bananas, fish, tomatoesD. beef, pork, fish, milk2. It is important for people to eat _______.A. three times a dayB. dinner at twelve o’clockC. cooked food all the dayD. something from each of the seven kinds of food every day3. People in different countries and different places of the world _______.A. has the right kinds of food to eatB. cooks their food in the same wayC. has their meals at the same timeD. eat food in different ways4. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in some places don’t have enough to eat.B. There are too many people in the world.C. One of the problems is that no one is hungry.D. The scientists are trying to make people grow to be strong and healthy.5. If there is Paragraph 4, what do you think is going to be talked about?A. When people eat their lunchB. What to do with the two problemsC. How to cook food in different waysD. Why people eat different kinds of foodPassage 9If you are overweight like eighty millions other Americans, there is still hope for you.What you need to change your eating habits forever. You begin by keeping a complete record of what, where, when and how you eat. Once you understand your bad eating habits you will find it easier to exchange them for good ones. So keep a diary answering the following questions.1.What do I eat during a day ? Record every bit of food and drink you put in your mouth. Thisincludes (包括) that cracker you ate while opening the can of soup. It includes that Coca Cola you shipped from your friend’s glass. It includes your chewing gum. And remember when you stuck your finger in the peanut butter jar. Remember everything !Most people are astonished at what they eat and drink in one day.Behavior Change : Make a list of what you plan to eat during the day and following your plan.2.Where and when you eat ?Do you eat standing or lying ? Do you eat while cooking ,reading,watching TV, or driving? Do you eat when upset, happy, anger, worried, or hurried ? Do you reward or punish yourself with food ?Behavior Change : Eat three planned meals only. Sit up straight at your table. Do nothing but eat.3.How do I eat ? Most of us eat on the run. When we eat fast, our stomachs don’t get the message that we are full. So we keep eating.Behavior Change : Look at your food. Give yourself a chance to resist its sight and smell.Chew slowly. Cut up your food into small pieces and eat one piece at a time. Let your food digest (消化) and listen to the message from your stomach before you reach for seconds. What is the main idea of this passage ?Don’t worry if you are overweight.Eat less and drink less if you are overweight.This passage urges you to lose weight by changing your eating habits.Keep good eating habits whatever and however you eat.Which sentence in this passage express the main idea ?If you are overweight ,there is still hope for you.What you need to do is to change you eating habits forever.Eat three planned meals only.Make a list of what meals only.3.The word ‘cracker’ in the third paragraph is probably _________.A. a kind of foodB. a kind of drinkC. a way you eatD. a tool for opening a can4. Which of the following is not mentioned in this passage ?A. You’d better not reward or punish yourself with food.B. Pay attention to every bit of food and drink you put in your mouth.C. You should have three planned meals only.D. Be sure to drink less Coca Cola.5. The author suggests you should not reach your hand for some more food ____________.A. before you feel fullB. after you get the message that you are fullC. before you get the message that you are fullD. after your food digestsPassage 10You’re driving home from work. You’re tired, and the thought of shopping for food and cooking dinner makes you even more tired. Suddenly you see a brightly lit sign: “Hamburgers! Fries! Shakes!” Your hands are holding the wheel. Which way are you going to turn?If you turn toward the hamburgers, you’ll find much of what you’re looking for. You won’t have to do any shopping, and you won’t have to do any cooking. Not only that, and you won’t even have to clean up after you’ve eaten.Of course, the fast food will be about three times as expensive as food you buy in a store and maybe half as nutritious as food you cook at home. That’s because you’ve got to pay for someone else to buy the food and cook it, and for those unpleasant containers that save on cleanup. Fast food is also less nutritious because the meals are not as balanced as those you can prepare at home. Fat content and calories are high, and the meals don’t have enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Fast-food restaurant owners, who always care about money, also may cut corners on quality of foods.Worst of all, those hamburgers will be the same old hamburgers as you’ve had a million times before. With home cooking, you can eat anything you want, not just what you can find in fast-food restaurants.The choice is yours, of course. However, if you want to be healthy, wealthy and wise, try cooking at home.( )1.
