As a result of trade, travel and migration, different cuisines have spread across the world. Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to announce that their food of a country or region is the most authentic (正宗的). But is this a good thing
People care about authenticity because food traditions are closely linked to identity, particularly for migrant communities. Sociologist and professor of food studies, Krishnendu Ray, explains that home cooking is often the last way that communities can show their identity. British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was accused of trying to take advantage of positive feelings about Jamaica. His ready meal product had a Jamaican name, but was unlike real Jamaican cooking.
However, food consultant Sara Kay asks whether there are problems with the idea of authenticity. She stresses that these ideas often come from the expectations that majority cultures have about minority cultures and their food. These can be restricting—restauranteurs have complained that people expect Asian food to be cheaper than that from European cultures. Expectations can also give people a false idea of what is authentic. While large cities are full of eateries representing different countries—China, India, Italy, Mexico and more—these labels can oversimplify the reality of food from these countries. Stephanie Elizondo Greist is surprised by the recognition that foods in Mexico are more authentic than what she ate growing up as a Mexican-American in Texas, because she feels that both are authentic examples of Mexican food.
A more controversial view of authenticity was stated by American Chef Andrew Zimmern, who claimed that he could bring in Chinese dishes in a more authentic way than existing restaurants—many of which are owned by Chinese-Americans. Writer and food podcaster Ruth Tam points out that while these restaurants altered their menus to suit local tastes, so does Zimmern. So, while food and identity are closely linked, and failure to respect authenticity can cause offence, could there be problems with the whole idea of authenticity
4. Which of the following factors causes people to care about authenticity
A. Position. B. Decoration. C. Taste. D. Price.
5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. Eateries in different countries contribute to the authentic problem.
B. Expectation about authenticity may cause problems.
C. Asian food is cheaper than European food.
D. You can enjoy the traditional taste of Mexican food both in Mexico and America.
6. Which statement might Stephanie Elizondo Greist agree with
A. There can be only one authentic taste in a country.
B. What she eats in Texas means nothing to her.
C. The regional specialities should be the same in a country.
D. Every person can have his or her own recognition of authenticity.
7. In which column of the newspaper can we probably read the passage
A. Food & Culture B. Science & Technology
C. Sports & Health D. Literature & Art
C
Located at the foot of the Wudang Mountains in China’s Hubei Province is the home of 64-year-old Marc Verlant, which possesses a fascinating collection of Chinese artifacts. The artfully arranged decorations such as miniatures (微缩模型) of ancient Chinese towers, traditional wooden carvings and Chinese paintings clearly convey that the house owner is trying to creatively explore and develop a better understanding of Chinese culture.
As a keen enthusiast of martial arts, Chinese architecture and history, this Frenchman is currently savoring his 19th year of living in a rural Chinese-style environment and finds it pleasant to live here. “Wudang is like my second home, and some locals say that I am almost a native of Wudang,” said Verlant.
The Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site, are considered “the cradle of Tai Chi” and are home to numerous palaces and temples that show the wisdom and beauty of ancient China’s architecture. In 2004, to treat his body after an accident, Verlant moved here to learn Chinese martial arts, and gradually fell in love with martial arts as well as Wudang’s culture. For him, it all started when his French-language student, who was a local tour guide, aroused his interest in local culture. For years, he volunteered as a foreign-language interpreter and tour guide in the Wudang Mountains, sharing Wudang’s culture with tourists from across the world. During the past two decades, he has witnessed and experienced the rapid development of this mountainous region. “When I first arrived in Wudang, there was neither the high-speed railway nor the shuttle bus, and many foreigners didn’t know how to come here, ” he recalled.
The Frenchman’s enthusiasm inspired those around him. “I learned a lot about Wudang from Marc, and his positive attitude toward life also influenced me to be more outgoing and energetic,”said his wife, who is a native of Shiyan City, where the Wudang Mountains are located.
8. Why does the author mention the decorations of a house
A. To sing the praises of traditional Chinese artifacts.
B. To highlight its owner’s insights into Chinese art.
C. To show its owner’s passion for Chinese culture.
D. To suggest the perfectly-matched decorating style.
9. What does the underlined word “savoring” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Adjusting. B. Exploring. C. Rebuilding. D. Enjoying.
10. What can we learn about Verlant’s life after 2004
A. He worked as a tour guide while teaching.
B. He contributed to the promotion of Wudang’s culture.
C. He became energetic under the influence of martial arts.
D. He offered great help to the development of the local economy.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. A tourist attraction—Wudang.
B. An encounter with martial arts.
C. A journey of intercultural communication.
D. A French enthusiast of Wudang’s culture.
D
Pickled (腌制的) vegetables, fish and meat preserved in salt, and bread baked in a circle with a hole in the middle (e.g. bagels), were once the foods for the poor of all backgrounds in central and eastern Europe. But it was Jewish immigrants (犹太移民) who brought these recipes to the West, particularly to America, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Bagels and pickled foods became mainstays of Jewish deli (熟食店) cuisine,which are the subject of an exhibition at the New-York Historical Society called “I’ll Have What She’s Having”. The exhibition implicitly (含蓄地) asks whether a cuisine that has been enjoyed by millions and helped define the taste of New York City continues to be lively today.
There is a distinctly sad tone to it. Though some foods exist over several decades, the number of Jewish delis in America has dropped sharply. Black-and-white pictures of long-gone people eating at long-gone places line the exhibition’s walls. After all, the Jewish deli is a product of a bygone era,shaped by immigration, discrimination and inner-city life. As immigrants’ children fit in with the locals and moved away, the deli became one of many dining choices — less a center of communal Jewish life and more a pleasant place to occasionally chat and talk about the past.
Meanwhile, deli food itself has crossed its limits. For a while, McDonald’s in Germany offered a “Grilled Texas Bagel”. That is a senseless phrase to a deli expert: a decent bagel belongs nowhere near a grill and has nothing to do with Texas. But it suggests that bagels — like pizza, hot dogs and other foods once only consumed by particular ethnicities — now come across less as specifically Jewish than as broadly American.
The most hopeful part of the exhibit is at the end: a case of menus from modern delis across the country. They were founded by young Jewish chefs determined to keep their culinary (烹饪的) traditions alive — not because discrimination left them no other way out, but because the food is delicious, inspiring, and an irreplaceable part of America’s culinary landscape.
12. What is the theme of this exhibition
A. The history of New York.
B. The foods of Jewish delis.
C. The recipes for Jewish foods.
D. The Jewish communities in New York.
13. What does paragraph 3 tell us about the Jewish delis in America
A. They cannot provide delivery service.
B. They have lost their original special flavor.
C. They don’t suit the tastes of young Jewish people.
D. They can bring back memories of Jewish immigrants.
14. What does the name of “Grilled Texas Bagel” imply
A. Deli experts aren’t big fans of meaningless names.
B. People think bagels are more of an American food.
C. Texans aren’t very good at baking satisfactory bagels.
D. McDonald’s in Germany prefers American foods to Jewish ones.
15. How do young Jewish chefs feel about their traditional food
A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Carefree. D. Disappointed.

Do Lobsters (龙虾) Feel Pain
The traditional method for cooking a lobster— boiling it alive— raises the question of whether or not lobsters feel pain. ____16____ Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die, and eating a dead lobster increases the risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor. However, if lobsters are capable of feeling pain, the method and others, such as storing the live lobster on ice, raise moral questions for chefs and lobster eaters alike.
____17____ Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans, but instead of a single brain, they possess nerve cluster (神经簇). Because of this difference, some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, learn to avoid dangerous situations, respond to anesthetics, and are believed to possess some level of consciousness. ____18____
There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel pain. ____19____ Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland, New Zealand, and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.
The most human e tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes a lobster, making it unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. And then, it can be cut apart or boiled.
Unfortunately, the CrustaStun is too expensive for most restaurants and people to afford. Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours, during which time it loses consciousness and dies. ____20____ But it is probably the most human e option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it.
A. This solution is not ideal.
B. So it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice.
C. Lobsters are popular food in many countries.
D. So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
E. Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel pain.
F. Many restaurants choose more human e methods to cook it.
G. This cooking way is used to improve humans’ dining experience.

Once upon a time, there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.
Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.
The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.
On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

The trader carried huge bags of garlic and took on the journey to the country without garlic.

As a result of trade, travel and migration, different cuisines have spread across the world. Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to announce that their food of a country or region is the most authentic (正宗的). But is this a good thing
People care about authenticity because food traditions are closely linked to identity, particularly for migrant communities. Sociologist and professor of food studies, Krishnendu Ray, explains that home cooking is often the last way that communities can show their identity. British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was accused of trying to take advantage of positive feelings about Jamaica. His ready meal product had a Jamaican name, but was unlike real Jamaican cooking.
However, food consultant Sara Kay asks whether there are problems with the idea of authenticity. She stresses that these ideas often come from the expectations that majority cultures have about minority cultures and their food. These can be restricting—restauranteurs have complained that people expect Asian food to be cheaper than that from European cultures. Expectations can also give people a false idea of what is authentic. While large cities are full of eateries representing different countries—China, India, Italy, Mexico and more—these labels can oversimplify the reality of food from these countries. Stephanie Elizondo Greist is surprised by the recognition that foods in Mexico are more authentic than what she ate growing up as a Mexican-American in Texas, because she feels that both are authentic examples of Mexican food.
A more controversial view of authenticity was stated by American Chef Andrew Zimmern, who claimed that he could bring in Chinese dishes in a more authentic way than existing restaurants—many of which are owned by Chinese-Americans. Writer and food podcaster Ruth Tam points out that while these restaurants altered their menus to suit local tastes, so does Zimmern. So, while food and identity are closely linked, and failure to respect authenticity can cause offence, could there be problems with the whole idea of authenticity
4. Which of the following factors causes people to care about authenticity
A. Position. B. Decoration. C. Taste. D. Price.
5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. Eateries in different countries contribute to the authentic problem.
B. Expectation about authenticity may cause problems.
C. Asian food is cheaper than European food.
D. You can enjoy the traditional taste of Mexican food both in Mexico and America.
6. Which statement might Stephanie Elizondo Greist agree with
A. There can be only one authentic taste in a country.
B. What she eats in Texas means nothing to her.
C. The regional specialities should be the same in a country.
D. Every person can have his or her own recognition of authenticity.
7. In which column of the newspaper can we probably read the passage
A. Food & Culture B. Science & Technology
C. Sports & Health D. Literature & Art
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了人们在谈论食物时强调正宗的现象。

【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“She stresses that these ideas often come from the expectations that majority cultures have about minority cultures and their food.(她强调，这些想法往往来自于多数文化对少数文化及其食物的期望。)”和“Expectations can also give people a false idea of what is authentic.(期望也会让人们对什么是真实的产生错误的想法。)”可知，本段主要讲述了对正宗的期望可能会产生问题。故选B。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段“As a result of trade, travel and migration, different cuisines have spread across the world. Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to announce that their food of a country or region is the most authentic(正宗的).

Located at the foot of the Wudang Mountains in China’s Hubei Province is the home of 64-year-old Marc Verlant, which possesses a fascinating collection of Chinese artifacts. The artfully arranged decorations such as miniatures (微缩模型) of ancient Chinese towers, traditional wooden carvings and Chinese paintings clearly convey that the house owner is trying to creatively explore and develop a better understanding of Chinese culture.
As a keen enthusiast of martial arts, Chinese architecture and history, this Frenchman is currently savoring his 19th year of living in a rural Chinese-style environment and finds it pleasant to live here. “Wudang is like my second home, and some locals say that I am almost a native of Wudang,” said Verlant.
The Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site, are considered “the cradle of Tai Chi” and are home to numerous palaces and temples that show the wisdom and beauty of ancient China’s architecture. In 2004, to treat his body after an accident, Verlant moved here to learn Chinese martial arts, and gradually fell in love with martial arts as well as Wudang’s culture. For him, it all started when his French-language student, who was a local tour guide, aroused his interest in local culture. For years, he volunteered as a foreign-language interpreter and tour guide in the Wudang Mountains, sharing Wudang’s culture with tourists from across the world. During the past two decades, he has witnessed and experienced the rapid development of this mountainous region. “When I first arrived in Wudang, there was neither the high-speed railway nor the shuttle bus, and many foreigners didn’t know how to come here, ” he recalled.
The Frenchman’s enthusiasm inspired those around him. “I learned a lot about Wudang from Marc, and his positive attitude toward life also influenced me to be more outgoing and energetic,”said his wife, who is a native of Shiyan City, where the Wudang Mountains are located.
8. Why does the author mention the decorations of a house
A. To sing the praises of traditional Chinese artifacts.
B. To highlight its owner’s insights into Chinese art.
C. To show its owner’s passion for Chinese culture.
D. To suggest the perfectly-matched decorating style.
9. What does the underlined word “savoring” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Adjusting. B. Exploring. C. Rebuilding. D. Enjoying.
10. What can we learn about Verlant’s life after 2004
A. He worked as a tour guide while teaching.
B. He contributed to the promotion of Wudang’s culture.
C. He became energetic under the influence of martial arts.
D. He offered great help to the development of the local economy.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. A tourist attraction—Wudang.
B. An encounter with martial arts.
C. A journey of intercultural communication.
D. A French enthusiast of Wudang’s culture.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是一位在武当山对中国文化着迷的法国人。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“The artfully arranged decorations such as miniatures (微缩模型) of ancient Chinese towers, traditional wooden carvings and Chinese paintings clearly convey that the house owner is trying to creatively explore and develop a better understanding of Chinese culture.(巧妙安排的装饰，如中国古塔的微缩模型、传统木雕和中国画，清楚地传达出房主正试图创造性地探索和更好地了解中国文化。)”可知，这些中国巧妙安排的装饰，传达出房主正在探索和了解中国文化，由此可知，提到房屋装饰的原因是为了表达房屋主人对中国文化的热爱。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“As a keen enthusiast of martial arts, Chinese architecture and history(作为一名武术、中国建筑和历史的狂热爱好者)”可知，这位法国人是一位中国武术、建筑和历史的爱好者，结合划线单词后的“his 19th year of living in a rural Chinese-style environment and finds it pleasant to live here.(他在中国乡村生活的第19个年头，他觉得在这里生活很愉快。)”以及““Wudang is like my second home, and some locals say that I am almost a native of Wudang,” said Verlant.( “武当就像我的第二个家，一些当地人说我几乎是武当本地人，”维兰特说。)”可知，维兰特在武当生活的很愉快，他把武当看作是他的第二家乡，还有人说他是武当本地人，由此可知推断，他当前应是正在“享受”在武当的生活，由此可知，划线单词的意思与“享受”意义相近。故选D项。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Located at the foot of the Wudang Mountains in China’s Hubei Province is the home of 64-year-old Marc Verlant, which possesses a fascinating collection of Chinese artifacts.(位于中国湖北省武当山脚下的是64岁的马克·维兰特(Marc Verlant)的家，那里收藏了大量令人着迷的中国文物。)”和最后一段“The Frenchman’s enthusiasm inspired those around him.(这个法国人的热情鼓舞了他周围的人。)”可知，64岁的维兰特生活在中国武当山脚下，家里收藏着大量的中国文物，结合下文中介绍的维兰特家中的装饰以及他来武当山的原因和在武当山志愿做翻译和导游，与世界各地的人分享武当山文化的介绍可知，本文主要讲述的是一位在武当山对中国文化着迷的法国人，所以本文的题目为“一位热爱武当文化的法国人”与本文的内容吻合且概括了本文的主题。故选D项。

Pickled (腌制的) vegetables, fish and meat preserved in salt, and bread baked in a circle with a hole in the middle (e.g. bagels), were once the foods for the poor of all backgrounds in central and eastern Europe. But it was Jewish immigrants (犹太移民) who brought these recipes to the West, particularly to America, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Bagels and pickled foods became mainstays of Jewish deli (熟食店) cuisine,which are the subject of an exhibition at the New-York Historical Society called “I’ll Have What She’s Having”. The exhibition implicitly (含蓄地) asks whether a cuisine that has been enjoyed by millions and helped define the taste of New York City continues to be lively today.
There is a distinctly sad tone to it. Though some foods exist over several decades, the number of Jewish delis in America has dropped sharply. Black-and-white pictures of long-gone people eating at long-gone places line the exhibition’s walls. After all, the Jewish deli is a product of a bygone era,shaped by immigration, discrimination and inner-city life. As immigrants’ children fit in with the locals and moved away, the deli became one of many dining choices — less a center of communal Jewish life and more a pleasant place to occasionally chat and talk about the past.
Meanwhile, deli food itself has crossed its limits. For a while, McDonald’s in Germany offered a “Grilled Texas Bagel”. That is a senseless phrase to a deli expert: a decent bagel belongs nowhere near a grill and has nothing to do with Texas. But it suggests that bagels — like pizza, hot dogs and other foods once only consumed by particular ethnicities — now come across less as specifically Jewish than as broadly American.
The most hopeful part of the exhibit is at the end: a case of menus from modern delis across the country. They were founded by young Jewish chefs determined to keep their culinary (烹饪的) traditions alive — not because discrimination left them no other way out, but because the food is delicious, inspiring, and an irreplaceable part of America’s culinary landscape.
12. What is the theme of this exhibition
A. The history of New York.
B. The foods of Jewish delis.
C. The recipes for Jewish foods.
D. The Jewish communities in New York.
13. What does paragraph 3 tell us about the Jewish delis in America
A. They cannot provide delivery service.
B. They have lost their original special flavor.
C. They don’t suit the tastes of young Jewish people.
D. They can bring back memories of Jewish immigrants.
14. What does the name of “Grilled Texas Bagel” imply
A. Deli experts aren’t big fans of meaningless names.
B. People think bagels are more of an American food.
C. Texans aren’t very good at baking satisfactory bagels.
D. McDonald’s in Germany prefers American foods to Jewish ones.
15. How do young Jewish chefs feel about their traditional food
A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Carefree. D. Disappointed.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了纽约历史学会举办的以犹太熟食店为主题的展览。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bagels and pickled foods became mainstays of Jewish deli (熟食店) cuisine, which are the subject of an exhibition at the New-York Historical Society called ‘I’ll Have What She’s Having’.(百吉饼和腌制食物成为犹太熟食的主流，这是纽约历史学会的一个名为‘我要吃她点的东西’的展览主题)”可知，该展览的主题是犹太熟食店的食物，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Black-and-white pictures of long-gone people eating at long-gone places line the exhibition’s walls.(展览的墙上挂着很久以前的人们在很久以前的地方吃饭的黑白照片)”和“As immigrants’ children fit in with the locals and moved away, the deli became one of many dining choices — less a center of communal Jewish life and more a pleasant place to occasionally cat and talk about the past.(随着移民的孩子们适应了当地人的生活，搬走了，这家熟食店成为了众多就餐选择之一——它不再是犹太人共同生活的中心，而更像是一个偶尔聊天和谈论过去的愉快场所)”可知，美国的犹太熟食店能唤起犹太移民的回忆，故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For a while, McDonald’s in Germany offered a ‘Grilled Texas Bagel’. That is a senseless phrase to a deli expert: a decent bagel belongs nowhere near a grill and has nothing to do with Texas. But it suggests that bagels — like pizza, hot dogs and other foods once only consumed by particular ethnicities — now come across less as specifically Jewish than as broadly American.(有一段时间，麦当劳在德国提供‘烤德克萨斯百吉饼’。对于一个熟食店专家来说，这是一个毫无意义的组合：一个体面的百吉饼不属于烤架附近，也与德克萨斯州无关。但它表明，像披萨、热狗和其他曾经只被特定种族消费的食物一样，百吉饼现在与其说是代表着具体的犹太人，不如说是代表着广泛的美国人)”可知，“烤德克萨斯百吉饼”这个名字表明人们认为百吉饼更像是美国食物，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The most hopeful part of the exhibit is at the end: a case of menus from modern delis across the country. They were founded by young Jewish chefs determined to keep their culinary (烹饪的) traditions alive — not because discrimination left them no other way out, but because the food is delicious, inspiring, and an irreplaceable part of America’s culinary landscape.(展览最有希望的部分是在最后：一箱现代熟食店的菜单。他们是由年轻的犹太厨师创立的，他们决心保持自己的烹饪传统——不是因为偏见让他们没有其他出路，而是因为食物美味，令人振奋，是美国烹饪景观中不可替代的一部分)”可知，犹太厨师认为犹太食物美味且令人振奋，是美国烹饪景观中不可替代的一部分，故犹太厨师对他们的传统食物感到骄傲，故选A。
第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do Lobsters (龙虾) Feel Pain
The traditional method for cooking a lobster— boiling it alive— raises the question of whether or not lobsters feel pain. ____16____ Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die, and eating a dead lobster increases the risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor. However, if lobsters are capable of feeling pain, the method and others, such as storing the live lobster on ice, raise moral questions for chefs and lobster eaters alike.
____17____ Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans, but instead of a single brain, they possess nerve cluster (神经簇). Because of this difference, some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, learn to avoid dangerous situations, respond to anesthetics, and are believed to possess some level of consciousness. ____18____
There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel pain. ____19____ Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland, New Zealand, and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.
The most human e tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes a lobster, making it unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. And then, it can be cut apart or boiled.
Unfortunately, the CrustaStun is too expensive for most restaurants and people to afford. Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours, during which time it loses consciousness and dies. ____20____ But it is probably the most human e option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it.
A. This solution is not ideal.
B. So it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice.
C. Lobsters are popular food in many countries.
D. So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
E. Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel pain.
F Many restaurants choose more human e methods to cook it.
G. This cooking way is used to improve humans’ dining experience.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一直以来科学家们对龙虾是否会感到疼痛持不同意见，现在越来越多的证据表明，龙虾可能会感到疼痛，因此一些国家禁止将龙虾活煮或放在冰上，推荐使用更人道的水产品电击器处理龙虾，一些无力负担该工具的餐馆则尽量选择其他人道的方式进行处理。
【16题详解】
前文“The traditional method for cooking a lobster— boiling it alive— raises the question of whether or not lobsters feel pain.(传统的烹饪龙虾的方法——活煮龙虾——引发了龙虾是否会感到疼痛的问题)”引入传统活煮龙虾的话题，后文“Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die, and eating a dead lobster increases the risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor.(龙虾死后很快就会变质，吃死龙虾会增加患病的风险，并降低其味道的质量)”具体解释采用这种烹饪方式的原因，因此G项“This cooking way is used to improve humans’ dining experience.(这种烹饪方式被用来改善人类的用餐体验)”符合语境，承上启下，其中的This cooking way指代前文的boiling it alive。故选G。
【17题详解】
空处位于段首，需引出段落内容。根据后文“Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans, but instead of a single brain, they possess nerve cluster (神经簇). Because of this difference, some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, learn to avoid dangerous situations, respond to anesthetics, and are believed to possess some level of consciousness.(龙虾像人类一样有一个外围系统，但它们不是一个单一的大脑，而是神经簇。由于这种差异，一些研究人员认为龙虾与脊椎动物太不相似了，感觉不到疼痛。)”可知，本段主要介绍了对龙虾是否会感到疼痛的两种不同意见，因此E项“Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel pain.(科学家们对龙虾是否会感到疼痛持不同意见)”符合语境，统领后文内容，其中的feel pain和后文的feel pain是同词复现。故选E。
【18题详解】
空处位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, learn to avoid dangerous situations, respond to anesthetics, and are believed to possess some level of consciousness.(尽管如此，龙虾确实满足了疼痛反应的所有标准。龙虾会保护自己的伤口，学会避开危险的情况，对麻醉剂有反应，并且被认为具有一定程度的意识)”可知，龙虾被认为是有一定程度的意识，由此可知，伤害龙虾会让它们感到疼痛，D项“So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.(因此，大多数科学家认为，伤害龙虾会导致身体疼痛)”和前文构成因果关系，是对前文的总结。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据前文“There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel pain.(越来越多的证据表明，龙虾可能会感到疼痛)”以及后文“Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland, New Zealand, and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.(目前，在瑞士、新西兰和意大利城市雷焦艾米利亚，煮活龙虾是非法的)”可知，前文讲述龙虾会感到疼痛，后文讲述法律问题，所以空处应是过渡句，B项“So it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice.(因此，现在将龙虾活煮或冷藏是违法的)”符合文意，和前文构成因果关系，并引出下文。故选B项。
【20题详解】
前文“Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours, during which time it loses consciousness and dies. (一些餐馆把龙虾放在塑料袋里，放在冰箱里几个小时，在这段时间里，龙虾失去知觉，死亡)”介绍了一些无力负担水产品电击器的餐馆处理龙虾的方法，后文“But it is probably the most human e option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it.(但在烹饪和食用龙虾之前杀死它可能是最人性化的选择)”对这种方法做出了评价，因此A项“This solution is not ideal (这个解决方案并不理想)”符合语境，承接前文，和后文形成转折，“这种方法”指前文“将龙虾装入塑料袋在冰箱冻死”。故选A。
第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Once upon a time there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.
Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.
The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.
On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.

【答案】范文
The trader carried huge bags of garlic and took on the journey to the country without garlic. With the riches he was sure of a warm welcome.

When he arrived in the country, the royal guards took the man with the new things to the emperor. The emperor asked him to prepare a feast using garlic.
The trader was very excited and made several tasty dishes using garlic. The garlic received even more praises than the onions, as he had expected. The emperor discussed with his ministers for a long time about the reward for their noble guest who introduced them to the garlic. They all agreed that the gold was not enough for such delicious food. So they decided to reward him with the most precious thing they had to offer. What can be more precious than gold Onions! That night the trader returned home with bags full of onions.
