There it was.A test of willpower.I was on a special diet with foods carefully selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value.A piece of cheese cake was not a good choice.So here was my dilemma:Should I not eat the cheese cake,feel dissatisfied and take my disappointment out on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories
The latter seemed like a win-win solution.Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake,but I’d get an exercise session(训练时段).And then it hit me:a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive.I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefully walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a small fork.I put on my exercise outfit(全套服装) and went downstairs.
The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan:I would run up and down the stairs and then back up again.My reward:one small bite of the cheese cake.If I wanted another,I’d have to run down and up and down and up again.Off I went.Ah,creamy vanilla(香草) goodness without guilt.I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted(冲刺) through another stair climbing run.
Admittedly,it was harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over-breathing.I placed a bottle of water next to the cake.Down and up and down and up again.When I struggled over to the cheese cake,my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead.I didn’t want the cake any more.I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from the cheese cake.I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time.
My plan worked.Now,any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favourite,I remembered my stairs trick.
24.What can we infer about the author from paragraph 1
A.She had weak willpower.
B.She was bad-tempered and very critical.
C.She needed assistance with making the choice.
D.She hesitated over eating something against her diet.
25.What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Reason. B.Hesitation.
C.Replacement. D.Companion.
26.What do we learn about the author’s plan
A.It involved much energy consumption(消耗).
B.It rid the cake of the pleasant taste.
C.It changed the author’s preference for food.
D.It was tiring and caused suffering.
27.What may be the best title for the passage
A.A costly dilemma
B.An evil cheese cake
C.A trick that worked
D.A sweaty experience
C
Apples,oranges and other fruit should be kept in the fridge to last long,new supermarket labels(标签) will say,in a move which could tell the end of the traditional fruit bowl.The labels will form part of the government-backed guidance to help customers bring down the amount of food they throw by changing advice on packs of supermarket food.
Under the plan supermarkets will introduce a new “Little Blue Fridge” sign for food which should be kept chilled(冷藏),or benefit from being kept in the fridge to prevent it going off.The sign will appear on much food which is not usually kept in the fridge.For example,the Waste and Resources Action Programme(WRAP) pointed out that apples,oranges and pear,which are usually kept in a fruit bowl,should in fact be stored in the fridge.
Dr.Andrew Parry,a Special Advisor at WRAP,said,“Most fresh fruit and vegetables will keep fresher for longer if kept in their packaging and in the fridge.Generally a good way to manage fruit at home is to take out enough into the fruit bowl—if you prefer it at room temperature,but use your fridge as cold storage for the rest.This will give you more time to enjoy your food,and help cut down on waste.”
Environment Minister Therese Coffey said,“We know that confusing labels can lead to food waste by suggesting that esculent items need to be thrown away sooner.This new guidance will make packaging much clearer for customers,saving them money and cutting waste.I encourage all food businesses,large and small,to use this guidance to help them put the right date mark on food and help to guide people on the freezing products,which is key to cutting down on the amount of eatable food thrown away.”
Heather Hancock,Chairman of the Food Standards Agency,said,“I think this clear guidance can help deal with food waste,without damaging the safety of food.It will help businesses supply food that is properly described and stored,and safely provided to consumers.”
28.Which is in line with the goal of the government-backed guidance
A.Encouraging business.
B.Lowering goods prices.
C.Cutting down on waste.
D.Improving product quality.
29.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “esculent” in paragraph 4
A.Eatable. B.Bad.
C.Fresh. D.Packaged.
30.What’s Heather Hancock’s attitude towards the government-backed guidance
A.Doubtful. B.Tolerant.
C.Positive. D.Disappointed.
31.Which can be the best title for the text
A.The Clearer Label Plan to Reduce Food Waste
B.The Disadvantages of Confusing Labels on the Food
C.The New Ways to Keep Fruit and Vegetables Fresh
D.The End of the Traditional Fruit Bowl

There 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 family 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 culture 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 flavor 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 flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should not only embrace our heritage(传统) through our traditional 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 into culture,and it should be treated as such.
32.What’s the function of food mentioned in the article
A.To help motivate homesickness.
B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history.
D.To show a community’s superiority.
33.What does the underlined “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.
34.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
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.
35.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A.Negative. B.Balanced.
C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable.

Many countries have traditional dishes made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way. 36 ,and when tourists visit,these are the foods they want to try.But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas
Traditional ingredients
Typical recipes are usually made with native plants and animal products.For example,Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot,wet areas.In contrast,wheat grows well in drier areas,like the Middle East,where bread is the common staple(主要的) food. 37 ,whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals.
Food preservation
Local cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage.In warm weather,meat and fish can go bad quickly,so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later. 38 .For that reason,modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.
Cooking techniques
39 .In China,people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water.In Morocco,people cook traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine,while in parts of India,people use a large oven,called a tandoor.And some local dishes aren’t cooked at all.
Imported(进口的) ingredients
Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally come from another place. 40 ,while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes.However,all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.But now they are common around the world.
A.Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areas
B.There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost
C.Many different cooking techniques are used around the world
D.For example,Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers
E.Nowadays,we can buy food products from all around the world
F.These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its culture
G.In Norway,the Vikings used to “cure” meat and fish by smoking them over a fire

Meeting your family’s nutritional needs may seem difficult considering today’s busy lifestyle.But it doesn’t have to 41 .Even a new emphasis 42 more fruit and vegetables doesn’t necessarily mean more preparation time if you 43 the convenience of canned food.
When you open a 44 of fruit or vegetables at home,you have fresh-packed nutritional produce at hand,with no man-made ingredients and no preservatives(防腐剂).And all the work has been 45 for you:the slicing,the peeling,even the cooking.Canned fruit and vegetables leave you the 46 to be creative.And with the variety of fruit and vegetables available these days,you can serve different combinations,create new dishes,and 47 new tastes to old recipes.Canned foods are good as well.A co-sponsored study by the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Nutritional Foods Association shows canned vegetables to be just as 48 as fresh or frozen.Because canned vegetables are 49 within hours of being packed,they generally retain(保留) 70 to 90 percent of their nutrients.
Fruit and vegetables canning is as 50 as your grandmother “stores up” tomatoes and other things from the garden.Fresh produce is taken from the field at just the right time, 51 to the cannery(罐头食品厂) where it is checked,washed,sealed,and sterilized(灭菌).All this generally 52 in less than 24 hours to 53 the best quality and nutritional value without the need for any preservatives.
Use the liquids that vegetables are 54 in as a substitute for water in recipes to get that last drop of good nutrition.
Most major brands of canned fruit and vegetables include the nutrient 55 and ingredient statements on their labels.This is especially important to those on calorie-conscious or restricted diets.

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。
Last week,I watched an old couple when they walked through a local thrift(节俭) store.I had just dropped off a bag of clothes and a few other items I no longer wanted.When I got the opportunity,I stopped by just to look through the old records.Yes,I called them records,not CDs or MP3s,simply records,those round plastic things from ancient times that had music recorded on them.
Anyway,this couple moved slowly around me in search of items they had on a list they held tight in hand.They didn’t say much,but occasionally talked with the other and picked an item up.“No,it’s not suitable for her and she dislikes it,” one would say and move on.
My curiosity always got the best of me until I satisfied it by asking.“Can I help you find something ” I asked.They stopped,looking at me.Then the man said,“We are looking for old things that look new.Look,every new year in the past we tried to begin the year with new things.It was a goal to surround ourselves with things fresh and new so that we had new directions,new hopes and dreams for the year ahead.More importantly,we can give some gifts to Eva.”
“Eva Who is she ” I asked.“She is a lovely 10-year-old girl we adopted three years ago.Her parents died in a serious traffic accident.She always wants to be a singer,” the man replied.When hearing those words,I felt sad and said,“I’m sorry for the girl.Can you tell me how does your search work out ” The lady sighed and said,“It took a long time for us to find a special gift,but we discovered it was in vain(徒劳的).”
I knew it was difficult for the couple to solve the problem,so I decided to take action immediately.I said to the couple,“I can do you a favour.Please wait here for me.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I turned around and ran out of the store._______________________________________

When I returned to the store,the couple sat near the counter(柜台).

【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍
了Vanderbilt 大学的一些最受欢迎的社团以及你可以从每个社团得到什么。
21.D 推理判断题。根据Honor Society部分的“...that will help you study the courses effectively.You will get recommendations for essay topics.It also invites the top students to share their best study tips.(……将帮助你有效地学习课程。你将得到关于论文主题的推荐。它还邀请最优秀的学生分享他们最好的学习建议。)”可知,参加这个社团,你可以得到好的学习经验。
22.D 细节理解题。根据Golden Key Society部分的“It organizes events with inspiring guest speakers from many famous companies,which can help prepare you for your work after college.(它会组织来自许多著名公司的鼓舞人心的嘉宾演讲活动,这些活动可以帮助你为毕业后的工作做好准备。)”可知,金钥匙社团为未来的求职者提供演讲。
23.B 推理判断题。根据第一段“Vanderbilt University provides you with many societies related to courses,sports and more.Some are teacher-led;however,most are created and led by students themselves.(Vanderbilt大学为你提供许多与课程、体育等相关的社团。有些是教师领导的,但大多数是由学生自己创造和领导的。)”可推断,文章介绍了Vanderbilt大学的社团,因此是写给大学生的。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者想出了一个计划,既可以享受美食,又可以激励自己去锻炼,结果这个计划奏效了。
24.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“So here was my dilemma...work off the calories ”可知,作者对吃某些违背她健康饮食习惯的东西时犹豫不决。文章第一段提到这是对意志的考验,没说作者自己的意志力差,故排除A项;B、C两项在原文中没有被提及,也排除。故选D项。
25.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake...as an exercise incentive.”及第三段中的“The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger”可知,作者是想把奶酪蛋糕作为锻炼的动机。reason意为“原因,动机”,符合题意。故选A项。
26.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If I wanted another,I’d have to run down and up and down and up again.”可知,作者的计划涉及很多能量的消耗。故选A项。本题容易误选C项“它改变了她对食物的热爱”。通过全文叙述可知,作者的计划让作者既享受了美食,也达到了锻炼的目的,故C项错误。
27.C 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“My plan worked.Now,any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favourite,I remembered my stairs trick.”可知,作者想出了一个既可以让自己享受喜欢的美食,又可以激励自己去锻炼的计划,而且计划奏效了。所以短文的最佳标题为“一个成功的小把戏”,故选C项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。一项政府支持的指导方针中要求用更清晰的标签来标记食品,以减少浪费。
28.C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The labels will form part of the government-backed guidance to help customers bring down the amount of food they throw by changing advice on packs of supermarket food.(这些标签将成为政府支持的指导方针的一部分,通过改变超市食品包装上的建议,帮助消费者减少食物的浪费。)”可知,减少浪费是政府支持的指导方针的目标。
29.A 词义猜测题。画线词下文“This new guidance...which is key to cutting down on the amount of eatable food thrown away.”中的“eatable food thrown away”与画线词所在句中“esculent items need to be thrown away sooner”对应,由此可知“esculent”与“eatable”表达的意思相同,为“可食用的”。
30.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Heather Hancock所说的话“I think this clear guidance can help deal with food waste,without damaging the safety of food.It will help businesses supply food that is properly described and stored,and safely provided to consumers.(我认为这个明确的指导方针可以帮助处理食物浪费,而不会损害食品安全。它将帮助企业提供正确描述和储存的食品,并安全地提供给消费者。)”可知,Heather Hancock对政府的指导方针持积极态度。
31.A 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“The labels will form part of the government-backed guidance to help customers bring down the amount of food they throw by changing advice on packs of supermarket food.(这些标签将成为政府支持的指导方针的一部分,通过改变超市食品包装上的建议,帮助消费者减少食物的浪费。)”结合文章内容可知,本文主要讲述为食物贴新型的标签,以减少食物浪费。因此“The Clearer Label Plan to Reduce Food Waste”适合做本文的标题。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者从食物与文化的关系的角度表达了自己的看法。作者认为,传统食物是文化的重要组成部分,也是一种文化身份的表达,是了解文化的窗口。
32.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.”可知,文中提到食物是一种文化身份的表达。
33.A 词义猜测题。根据上文中的“traditional food is an important part of culture”可知,此句中的it代指“传统食物”。句意:移民们把它带到任何地方,它是他们的文化自豪感的象征,也是应对思乡之情的手段。
34.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Additionally,immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.”可知,一些移民不得不改变他们餐馆原有的菜肴是为了迎合不同的顾客。

37.A 根据上文“In contrast,wheat grows well in drier areas”和下文“whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals”可知,上下文主要说的是不同的食物来自不同的地区。A项(海鲜通常是沿海地区的关键食材)符合语境,故选A项。
38.G 根据上文“In warm weather,meat and fish can go bad quickly,so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later.”和下文“For that reason,modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.”可知,设空处是有关食物保存方面的内容。G项(在挪威,维京人曾经通过在火上熏制肉和鱼来保存它们)承上启下,故选G项。
39.C 根据本段小标题Cooking techniques可知,本段主要讲烹饪技术;而下文介绍在中国、摩洛哥和印度使用不同的烹饪技术。因此这里应该主要介绍世界各地使用的许多不同的烹饪技术,故选C项。
40.D 根据上文“Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally come from another place.”和下文“while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes”可知,D项(例如,意大利菜通常包括西红柿和甜椒)符合语境,故选D项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的药膳的益处和历史。
bination 考查词性转换。句意:它是中餐与中药的完美结合,以达到养生保健的效果。perfect形容词修饰名词,故填combination。
57.to strengthen 考查非谓语动词。句意:它是对阴阳理论的巧妙应用,以增强食物和草药的功能。应用阴阳理论的目的是增强功能,故用动词不定式表达目的;strength的动词形式是strengthen。故填to strengthen。
58.which 考查定语从句。句意:中国人对每一种蔬菜和肉类进行阴阳分类,把蔬菜和肉类结合起来,这样每道菜都会平衡。分析句子结构可知,这个非限制性定语从句的先行词是逗号前面的一整句话,且从句缺主语,故用指物且能作主语的关系代词,故填which。
59.using 考查非谓语动词。句意:公元前5世纪,厨师创造了具有医学价值的菜肴,发展了中国烹饪艺术,利用食物的性质来平衡饮食。本句已有谓语,故此处用非谓语动词,use和句子主语cooks之间是主动关系,故填using。

63.enables 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:了解食物的性质让中国人能够吃对食物,以保护各种内部器官,平衡身体的阴阳。分析句子结构可知,Knowing the nature of individual foods为动词-ing形式作主语,谓语用单数;结合下文可知,时态用一般现在时。故填enables。
64.varieties 考查名词的数。variety在此处意为“种类”,为可数名词;空前无冠词,故应用复数形式。varieties of意为“各种各样的”,故填varieties。
65.Slightly 考查词性转换。句意:微甜的食物可以缓解与静脉有关的疾病,而苦味的食物有助于治愈过热的身体。sweet是形容词,应该用副词修饰。设空处位于句首,首字母大写。故填Slightly。

第二节
I turned around and ran out of the store.I knew I should go home to find something to help the couple.Then,I took a taxi.On the way home,I was thinking what I could give the girl as a gift.For me,the only hobby was music.So I thought I could give something about music as a gift,maybe a record.After arriving home,I found an old record which was given by my grandparents when I was ten years old.I believed Eva would love it.
When I returned to the store,the couple sat near the counter(柜台).Seeing me,they waved to me.I ran to them with the record in my hand.The man was surprised and asked me where I had gone.I gave them the record and told them,“This is a gift from my grandparents,and now it belongs to Eva.” The couple felt happy and showed their appreciation to me.Although the record meant a lot to me,I knew it would light up the girl’s sky.I felt proud of what I had done.
