Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you'll realize they're everywhere—the crazier, the better.
1．Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce (韩国的辣椒酱) so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there's music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that's whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2．Waikiki Spam Jam (怀基基午餐肉节)
Who knew this canned meat had so much love Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May serving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3．Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it's all about an egg far less sweet.Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷)—15,000 eggs strong—for the townsfolk (市民)．
4．Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota (明尼苏达州), the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five and six year old girls.
本文为应用文。主要介绍了四个最疯狂的美食节：韩国的石锅拌饭节、美国夏威夷州的怀基基午餐肉节、法国的贝西埃尔镇复活节彩蛋节、美国明尼苏达州的土豆节。

2．Waikiki Spam Jam takes place ________.
A．from 22 to 25 October
B．in May in Hawaii
C．in Barnesville, Minnesota
D．in a French town
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据Waikiki Spam Jam(怀基基午餐肉节)中的The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May可知，Waikiki Spam Jam节发生在夏威夷，时间是5月份。由此可知B项符合题意，故选B。
3．If Jim wants to learn Asian food culture, he'd better go to ________.
A．Bibimbap Festival

B
“Old wives' tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents' telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat carrots because they are good for your eyes Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic (蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mum's advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don't hold_water,_there is still a lot of truth in the old wives' tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
B．Sticky sweets are damaging our teeth.
C．Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
D．Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
5．The author develops the third paragraph mainly ________.
A．by cause and effect B．by order in space
C．by order in time D．by examples
6．The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”．
A．to be believable B．to be valuable
C．to be admirable D．to be suitable
7．What is the author's attitude towards “old wives' tales” in the text
A．Subjective. B．Objective.
C．Dissatisfied. D．Curious.
【语篇解读】 我们大多数人都记得父母告诉过我们要多吃某些食物或者不要去做某些事情。这些告诫是对的吗？实际上，其中一些是与现在的医学思想相符的，而另外一些却是经不起考验的……
4．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“Sticky sweets...tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.”可以看出，sticky sweets的确对牙齿有害。
5．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。第三段第一句是主题句。接着本段举了“饭后一小时内游泳”和“吃糖”这两个例子来支持主题句。因此，这一段主要是通过举例来论述的。
6．答案与解析：A 词义猜测题。“don't hold water”与“there is still a lot of truth”意义相对立，那么“hold water”与“there is still a lot of truth”意义相似，因此A项正确。
7．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。综合全文，作者既指出了一些传统说法是正确的，又说明了一些传统观念是没有科学依据的。最后一段作者表明了对这些观念的尊重，因此可以看出作者的态度是客观的。
C
Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge isn’t boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.
If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast. It is usually a type of grain, like rice or oat (燕麦), mixed with either milk or water, and often heated up. It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.
Porridge preparation--the amount of ingredients (配料) and cooking time—depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. If I'm cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of ‘rolled’ oats in a saucepan, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. I stir the porridge constantly, and it takes about five to ten minutes to cook.
Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper—you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Greens, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then honey and chocolate are also very tasty options. (Just don’t add too much!)
One of the best things about porridge You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are. I am currently in Mexico, and I love to heat my oats up with milk, then mix in peanuts and pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs, and I put a layer of sugar over the top to make my porridge sweeter.
Porridge Hopefully it sounds a lot tastier now!
8. According to the author, what is the best thing about porridge
A. It provides long-lasting energy for the day.
B. It is cheap and convenient to make.
C. It's a better option for people.
D. It is never boring and tasteless.
9. What is the purpose of the text
A. To give brief introduction to various porridge.
B. To show how to prepare porridge for the patient.
C. To warn us not to have porridge for breakfast.
D. To introduce the benefits of porridge.
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Porridge is often thicker, liquid and solid.
B. Porridge alone has a very strong flavor.
C. Porridge is to many people's liking.
D. Porridge is only served for breakfast.
11. What's the author's favourite flavor
A. Porridge with Sugar. B. Porridge with oats.
C. Porridge with fruit. D. Porridge with milk.
12. The underlined word “staple” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. snack B. main C. left-over D. imported
【答案与解析】
BDCAB
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，粥是一种美味、方便又健康的开始一天的方式，介绍了煮粥的方法。
8. 细节理解题。由题干关键词the best thing about porridge可将答案定位于倒数第二段。由倒数第二段中的 “You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods (主食)” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are.”可知，粥最好的事情之一就是便宜且方便制作。故选B项。
9. 推理判断题。由第一段中的“I'm here to try and convince you that porridge isn’t boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.”，第二段中的“It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.”和倒数第二段中的“You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are.”可推断出这篇文章的目的是介绍粥的优点。故选D项。
10. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.”可知粥比液体稠，但不是固体，排除A项；由第四段中的“Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour.”，排除B项；由第二段中的“If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast.”可知粥是早餐的一种食物，并不是只有早餐能吃，排除D项，所以只有C项正确，符合文意。故选C项
11. 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“I am currently in Mexico, and I love to heat my oats up with milk, then mix in peanuts and pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs, and I put a layer of sugar over the top to make my porridge sweeter.”可知，作者最喜欢的味道是甜粥。故选A项。
12. 词义猜测题。根据后面的for many people across the world猜测，staple foods是主粮的意思，因此选择B项。
D
The first potatoes were grown by the Incas of South America, more than 400 years ago. Their descendants (后代) in Eenador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14, 000 feet up in the Andes Mountains. (That's higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.
People eat potatoes in many ways—baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fast food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.
Before shipping, every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.
So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”．
本文介绍了土豆被引进美国的历史及炸薯条在美国食品产业中举足轻重的地位。
13．Potatoes in North America came directly from ________.
A．Chile B．Europe
C．Ecuador D．the Andes Mountains
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s. 可知， 北美最早的土豆来自欧洲。故选B项。
14．Why does the company pay special attention to the way the fries are prepared
A．Because selling fries is a big business.
B．Because fries are not easy to prepare at all.
C．Because Americans are particular about fries.
D．Because the government has a strict rule for that.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的One fast food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared. 可知， 在美国， 炸薯条是个很大的行业， 所以会被特殊关注。故选A项。
15．In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say ________.
A．small potatoes cannot be used for fries
B．potatoes are really important for Americans
C．eating in America is the very first thing
D．fries are really important for food industry
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”可知， 在美国， 炸薯条在食品产业中不是“小土豆”(无足轻重的东西)。由此可推测， 炸薯条在食品产业中占有重要的地位。故选D项。

You are what you eat
Dear fellow students，
Everyone knows that our food choices affect our health. Therefore, we should develop healthy eating habits.
However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; others just choose the food they like to eat; and still others eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have healthy diets, such as proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit and rice or bread. Besides, we'd better have meals on time and eat proper amounts of food.
Let's start now and develop good eating habits.

第二节 读后续写 （此题供全国新高考地区使用）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and wet, and the street lamps gave little light. Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued, and Frank began walking more quickly. Then he slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this. The short, quick steps grew louder until they seemed very near.
Frank found it impossible not to turn round. As he did so, he caught sight of a human from coming toward him. After reaching the other side of the bridge, Frank stopped and pretended to look down at the water. From the corner of his eyes he could now make out the form of a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.
As the man came near, Frank turned towards him and said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the person who lived there was very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, Frank began following the stranger quietly.
The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.
Paragraph l:
Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do.______________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

参考范文：
Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do. Everyone knew that Oakfield House was filled with artwork worth millions of dollars. It was clear to Frank that the family inside was in danger. Would the man have a weapon Would I be strong enough to overpower him before he could harm the people inside Frank’s heart was racing with fear. He reached for his cell phone to call the police, only to find it out of power. If only he had charged his phone before leaving the office, but it was too late to think of that now.
Frank couldn’t just stand in the dark and wait. He had to do something, even if it meant risking his own life. At his feet he silently found several good sized stones, and he threw them with as much power as he could right at the windows of the house. The noise woke up the people inside the house and a light came on upstairs. The man froze, not knowing quite what had just happened. Lights came on everywhere in the house and within a minute, the night was filled with the sounds of police sirens screaming toward the Oakfield House.

Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you'll realize they're everywhere—the crazier, the better.
1．Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce (韩国的辣椒酱) so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there's music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that's whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2．Waikiki Spam Jam (怀基基午餐肉节)
Who knew this canned meat had so much love Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May serving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3．Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it's all about an egg far less sweet.Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷)—15,000 eggs strong—for the townsfolk (市民)．
4．Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota (明尼苏达州), the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five and six year old girls.

“Old wives' tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents' telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat carrots because they are good for your eyes Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic (蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mum's advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don't hold_water,_there is still a lot of truth in the old wives' tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
B．Sticky sweets are damaging our teeth.
C．Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
D．Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
5．The author develops the third paragraph mainly ________.
A．by cause and effect B．by order in space
C．by order in time D．by examples
6．The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”．
A．to be believable B．to be valuable
C．to be admirable D．to be suitable
7．What is the author's attitude towards “old wives' tales” in the text
A．Subjective. B．Objective.
C．Dissatisfied. D．Curious.

Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge isn’t boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.
If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast. It is usually a type of grain, like rice or oat (燕麦), mixed with either milk or water, and often heated up. It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.
Porridge preparation--the amount of ingredients (配料) and cooking time—depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. If I'm cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of ‘rolled’ oats in a saucepan, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. I stir the porridge constantly, and it takes about five to ten minutes to cook.
Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper—you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Greens, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then honey and chocolate are also very tasty options. (Just don’t add too much!)
One of the best things about porridge You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are. I am currently in Mexico, and I love to heat my oats up with milk, then mix in peanuts and pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs, and I put a layer of sugar over the top to make my porridge sweeter.
Porridge Hopefully it sounds a lot tastier now!
8. According to the author, what is the best thing about porridge
A. It provides long-lasting energy for the day.
B. It is cheap and convenient to make.
C. It's a better option for people.
D. It is never boring and tasteless.
9. What is the purpose of the text
A. To give brief introduction to various porridge.
B. To show how to prepare porridge for the patient.
C. To warn us not to have porridge for breakfast.
D. To introduce the benefits of porridge.
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Porridge is often thicker, liquid and solid.
B. Porridge alone has a very strong flavor.
C. Porridge is to many people's liking.
D. Porridge is only served for breakfast.
11. What's the author's favourite flavor
A. Porridge with Sugar. B. Porridge with oats.
C. Porridge with fruit. D. Porridge with milk.
12. The underlined word “staple” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. snack B. main C. left-over D. imported
D
The first potatoes were grown by the Incas of South America, more than 400 years ago. Their descendants (后代) in Eenador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14, 000 feet up in the Andes Mountains. (That's higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.
People eat potatoes in many ways—baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fast food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.
Before shipping, every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.
So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”．
13．Potatoes in North America came directly from ________.
A．Chile B．Europe
C．Ecuador D．the Andes Mountains
14．Why does the company pay special attention to the way the fries are prepared
A．Because selling fries is a big business.
B．Because fries are not easy to prepare at all.
C．Because Americans are particular about fries.
D．Because the government has a strict rule for that.
15．In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say ________.
A．small potatoes cannot be used for fries
B．potatoes are really important for Americans
C．eating in America is the very first thing
D．fries are really important for food industry

The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and wet, and the street lamps gave little light. Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued, and Frank began walking more quickly. Then he slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this. The short, quick steps grew louder until they seemed very near.
Frank found it impossible not to turn round. As he did so, he caught sight of a human from coming toward him. After reaching the other side of the bridge, Frank stopped and pretended to look down at the water. From the corner of his eyes he could now make out the form of a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.
As the man came near, Frank turned towards him and said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the person who lived there was very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, Frank began following the stranger quietly.
The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.
