阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Modem humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things. How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. People eating alone eat least. People eating with another person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. Eating with overweight friends You’ll eat more. Is your waitress overweight You’ll eat more. A wide variety of food You’ll eat more.
Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate, they’d say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my entire life.”
Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. So Grandma’s cookies always taste better than other cookies. “Good food” even has a “health halo (光环) effect”. If we’re eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories than the cheese cake alone. That’s perhaps also why eating organic food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality (道德) to excuse your immoral behavior.
Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids who don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.
1. What is mentioned as a cause of overeating

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds," he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴) , and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
8. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.
B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The families get together for it.
D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
10. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is______.
A. indifferent
B. critical
C. objective
D. doubtful
11. What lesson can we learn from the story
A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.
B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D
(2020·新高考全国I卷)According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份) , it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they tock significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she’s having” effect. However, we’ll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I
12. What is the recent study mainly about
A. Food safety.
B. Movie viewership.
C. Consumer demand.
D. Eating behavior.
13. What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Big eaters.
B. Overweight persons.
C. Picky eaters.
D. Tall thin persons.
14. Why did the researchers hire the actor
A. To see how she would affect the participants.
B. To test if the participants could recognize her.
C. To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D. To study why she could keep her weight down.
15. On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph
A. How hungry we are.
B. How slim we want to be.
C. How we perceive others.
D. How we feel about the food.

(2020·浙江宁波高三适应性考试)Countless parents have kids who just want to eat chicken pasta, or macaroni and cheese, and definitely without any vegetables. So what’s a parent to do 16 We reached out to experts on healthy eating for kids, and they had a ton of great advice.
Make food interesting. Lori Day, an educational psychologist, thought that if kids found it interesting, they would be more likely to try it. So Day let her daughter shell peas, count them, sort them by size and play with them before putting them in the pot. 17 “Make food interesting if your child is naturally curious and is willing to engage, ” Day said.
18 Several parents talked about how bringing their children with them to the farmers’ market or the grocery store and having them help with the cooking can get them more excited and invest in what they are eating. “Kids can be inspired to eat healthily when they are part of the meal,” said Margaret McSweeney, host of the podcast Kitchen Chat. “A trip to the local farmer’s market can connect them with the source of food.”
Give kids choices. Amy, an infant-child psychologist said that from a young age, parents should let their kids choose foods and snacks they like, within reason. “Give them more room to choose as they get older,” she added. “And never get into a power struggle with your kids about eating,” she said. 19
Model healthy eating. Our kids can be influenced to make better choices if they watch us doing the same. Pam Moore, founder of the blog, whatever, says her kids always see her and husband eating healthily. “ 20 I often keep sliced veggies washed, sliced and ready to eat for snacks. Our children will ask for bites as time goes on, as they like to copy what we do,” said Moore.
A. First, don’t stress.
B. Inspire kids to eat healthily.
C. Get the kids to be involved.
D. Her daughter loved eating them raw or cooked.
E. Make sure you are not over controlling or overeducating them.
F. Both my husband and I typically add greens to our eggs at breakfast.
G. We talk about food colors and how it is healthiest to make meals with various colors.

(2020·山东日照一中高三调研)
Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yoghurt. What’s the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn’t seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then—bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot (鼻涕) frozen to his face, a womout jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. _______________________

参考答案及解析
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了导致人们吃得过量的几个因素。
1. B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“People eating with another person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat75 percent more.”可知,和另外一个人一起吃饭会比自己在家里多吃35%,四个人一起吃饭会多吃75%。由此推知,过度饮食的一个原因是和很多人一起吃饭,故选B项。
2. C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That’s perhaps also why eating organic food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior. ”可知,一个令人讨厌的人可能是一个为自己吃得过量而找借口的人。
3. A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions. ”可知,低血糖的人更有可能无法专注并难以控制他们的不良情绪,因而更有可能作出不好的判断。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道。《早安英国》的节目主持人苏珊娜瑞德新推出了一档节目—Save money:Good Food,向观众展示如何用较少的预算做出美味营养的饭菜。
4. B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“…she is cooking up a storm in her latest role--showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget…”可知,苏珊娜·瑞德新推出了一档非常火爆的节目—向观众展示如何用较少的预算做出美味营养的饭菜,由此可知,选B。
5. C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“…with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste. ”可知,苏珊娜在厨师马特的帮助下向人们提供关于如何减少食物浪费的建议,也就是说马特会在烹饪问题上协助苏珊娜。
6. C推理判断题。第四段介绍了 Save Money:Good Food这一节目是仿照了 Save money:Good Health的风格,为观众提供关于如何从市场上大量健康产品中获取价值的建议,因此本段是介绍这个节目的背景的。
7. D标题归纳题。全文介绍了 Save money:Good Food这个节目旨在教人们如何用较少的预算做出美味营养的饭菜,因此D项作为标题最合适。
[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国人喜欢嗑瓜子的风俗习惯,作者把这个习惯归结于中国的春节文化,并提出每一种饮食习惯都与其背后的文化相关。
8. D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I had never noticed the habit,but once he mentioned it,I suddenly became more aware. ”及后面的内容可知,作者的一位英国朋友与她谈及中国人喜欢嗑瓜子这一现象,这让作者突然意识到她的确有这一习惯。故选D项。
9. B推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,作者在该段列举了中国春节期间人们的习俗,结合其中的“I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. ”可以推断作者介绍这些的目的就在于说明嗑瓜子与中国的春节有联系。故选B项。
10. C观点态度题。根据第三段第一句“I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits,no matter how strange they may seem:”可知,作者对饮食习惯持客观态度,然后在此基础上举了丹麦人会把盐红鱼放在面包上吃的例子
这与特定的文化相关,是一种传统,即她对丹麦的这种吃面包方式持客观态度。故选C项。
11. C推理判断题。文章介绍了中国人嗑瓜子的习惯以及丹麦人吃面包的习惯,结合文章最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy,and it’s connected to their certain culture. ”可知,在作者看来,饮食习惯来自一种特定的文化。故选C项。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项关于就餐同伴会影响人们食物摄取量的研究,结果表明“我跟着她吃”的影响的确存在,但人们也会根据自身对他人的看法有所调整。这样的语篇贴近学生生活实际,有利于引导学生培养健康饮食的习惯。
12. D细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research,both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. ”可知,《消费者研究杂志》最近的一项研究显示,我们的饮食同伴的体型和消费习惯都会影响我们的饮食,这表明这项最新研究主要是关于饮食行为的。
13. D词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions,it’s the beanpole with big appetites you really need to avoid. ”可知,现有的研究宣称,你应该避免和吃得多且发福的人一起吃饭,这项研究与之相反——你真正需要避免的是那些……食欲大的人。此处的 beanpole意思应与 heavier people相反,故D项“高而瘦的人”与之意义最接近。
14. A推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“To test the effect of social influence on. ”及第四句“An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. "可知,研究者雇用这位演员是为了观察她的饮食行为是如何影响这些参与者的。
15. C推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“But if a thin person eats a lot,I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim,why can’t I?”可知,如果一个瘦的人吃得多,“我”也会这么做。如果他可以在吃得多的同时保持苗条,“我”为什么不能?这说明我们是靠观察别人的行为来调整自己所受的外来影响的。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说眀文。现在的孩子在饮食上不爱吃蔬菜就此问题,儿童健康饮食方面的专家给出了一些建议。
16. A由上文“So what’s a parent to do?”及下文“We reached out to experts on healthy eating for kids,and they had a ton of great advice. ”可知,那么父母该怎么做呢?我们联系了儿童健康饮食方面的专家,他们给了我们很多很好的建议。所以选项承上启下,A选项“首先,不要紧张”切题。
17. D由上文“So Day let her daughter shell peas,count them,sort them by size and play with them before putting them in the pot”可知,因此,Day让她的女儿剥去豌豆的壳,数一数,按大小分类,玩会儿再把它们放进锅里。所以选项承接上文,D选项“她的女儿喜欢吃生的或煮熟的豌豆”切题。
18. C由下文“Several parents talked about how bringing their children with them to the farmers’ market or the grocery store and having them help with the cooking can get them more excited and invested in what they are eating. ”可知,几位家长谈到,带着孩子去农贸市场或杂货店,让他们帮忙做饭,可以让他们更加兴奋,并对自己的饮食进行投资。所以本段主要在说让孩子们参与进来,选C项。
19. E由上文“‘And never get into a power struggle with your kids about eating, ’she said.”可知,她的建议是永远不要因为吃东西而和你的孩子发生权力斗争。所以选项与上一句为并列关系共同说明主题句,E选项“确保你没有过度控制或过度教育他们”切题。
20. F由上文“Pam Moore,founder of the blog,whatever,says her kids always see her and husband eating healthily. ”可知,不管怎样,博客的创始人帕姆·摩尔说,她的孩子总是看到她和丈夫吃健康的东西。所以选项对上文进行具体说明,F选项“我丈夫和我通常在早餐时吃鸡蛋和蔬菜”切题语篇解读]这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位一生没有结婚、努力工作的老人 Dale Schroeder, 在他去世前捐赠三百万美元资助三十三名孩子上大学的善举。

I’m sorry to hear that you are unhappy about not knowing what birthday gift to buy for your good friend. In fact,whatever gift you buy your friend will be pleased and thankful to you,for gifts are a symbol of showing love and care。
Personally,I prefer handmade gifts instead of ready-made ones. It is not necessary for us to buy an expensive gift. Friendship is not valued by the price of a gift From my point of view,a handmade birthday card may be what can express your love best I hope my ideas will be helpful to you.
Yours,

第二节 One possible version:
Seeing this,my son became confused and surprised. “Mum,why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I ask for a yoghurt I explained that if we were blind to the poor man’s situation he would be freezing. He didn’t have home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside the window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I am doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else.
