Join the #ChefsChallenge!
Love cooking Join famous chefs in this online challenge—cook, have fun and share your best healthy recipes!
When it comes to food, it’s difficult to match East Asia and the Pacific region in terms of variety and tastiness. From wontons to dumplings, from spicy fish to noodle soups, the amazing food culture in East Asia and the Pacific region is a central part of life for millions of people and indeed tourists from across the world.
However, changes in diet and lifestyle in recent years have sadly destroyed traditional food cultures, and the health of millions of people. Cheap “fast food” and unhealthy snacks that are high in sugar, salt and fat are now all too common but offer little nutrition.
★A new challenge
Today, there are more than 25 million malnourished(营养不良的)children living in the region, but the picture is changing. While the number of stunted(发育不良的) children is slowly falling in many countries, overweight and obesity are growing, and at a much faster rate.
In many countries, three forms of malnutrition—under nutrition, hidden hunger and overweight—coexist. A family may have an overweight mother and a stunted child. Or a child may be both stunted or too short and overweight. Unhealthy diets are a major cause of all forms of malnutrition.
★Join us!
One way to slow this tide(趋势)is to reconnect families and young people with food. That’s why chefs from across the region are taking part in the #ChefsChallenge, asking you to show off your cooking skills. Get involved today by sharing your recipes in videos, photos or any other creative ways on social media using “#ChefsChallenge” and tagging “UNICEF East Asia & Pacific” on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (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 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.
In the past, 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 we were even neighbors, so we 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 always cooking in the kitchen. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out with a 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. So I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
4.Why can’t the British friend understand when he found Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds
A.Because he thinks the seeds are too hard to crack.
B.Because he thinks the seeds are harmful to teeth.
C.Because he thinks the seeds are not good.
D.Because he thinks the seeds are not worth eating.
5.What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year

B.Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C.The traditions of celebrating it have disappeared.
D.Children can eat delicious food on that day.
6.What idea does the writer want to express in this passage
A.Eating habits come from a certain culture.
B.It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C.Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D.One kind of food doesn t necessarily suit everyone.
7.The writer s attitude to the Danish way of eating bread is .
A.objective B.critical
C.acceptable D.doubtful

Beijing is no stranger to Western food. American restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC have brought more Western dishes to the local food scene in recent years. Now, two new restaurants have joined them.
In August, Taco Bell and Shake Shack opened their doors to eager customers in Beijing. Taco Bell is a popular American fast food restaurant that features Mexican food. Hard- and soft-shell tacos are a staple(主食)on the menu; they are generally served with beef, lettuce and tomato. And of course there are burritos—chicken, beef or beans wrapped in a tortilla(墨西哥薄馅饼).However, there are new menu items that are special to the Beijing location, such as the Yang Berry Freeze and Avocado Oolong Tea.
Shake Shack, known for its traditional American-style hamburgers and milkshakes, is also serving up dishes that won t be found in branches outside of the capital. Harry Wang, who studied in the US, visited the restaurant soon after it opened. “The last time I had Shake Shack was more than a year ago when I was in the United States,” Wang said. “They are pretty similar to what we had in the United States, but there is a milkshake special to Beijing.”
The milkshake Wang referred to is the Hutong Hawthorn. The shake mixes hawthorn, a traditional Chinese snack, into a milkshake, a common ice cream drink in Western fast food. The Beijing Shake Shack also offers roasted chestnut ice cream.
Both restaurants also reflect elements of Chinese culture in their decorations. Shake Shack’s windows feature cartoons showing hutong life, and Taco Bell has a picture of a palace at the Temple of Heaven on one of its walls.
From the design to the menus, the two restaurants are “adding a touch of local flavor”, noted China News.
8.Why are McDonald’s and KFC mentioned in the first paragraph
A.To show the popularity of Western food in Beijing.
B.To lead up to the topic of new Western restaurants in Beijing.

C.It is a popular Mexican restaurant in China.
D.It is a fast food restaurant serving Mexican food.

11.What does the article tell us about Taco Bell and Shake Shack

B.They will probably have more customers than KFC.
C.They make changes to the menu for Chinese people’s tastes.
D.They like to work together with Chinese restaurants.

Eating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests. What’s more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, a team from University College London found.
Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported. They divided the participants into two groups based on two types of diet—those who ate a diet largely based on wholefood(全天然食物),which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products. After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.
Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood. By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed food.
Study author Dr. Archana Singh-Manoux pointed out there was a chance that the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.
“There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is that if you live in Britain, the likelihood(可能性)of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.”
Dr. Andrew McCulloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, “This study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.”
He added people s diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy. The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated(饱和的) fats and sugars.
12.What do we know about the participants
A.They are of different ages from young to old.
B.They have been eating a less healthy diet these years.
C.Most of them prefer wholefood to processed food.
D.Those who ate wholefood generally were happier in the long term.
13.What can we learn from what Dr. Archana Singh-Manoux said
A.It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.
B.The Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world.
C.Many studies on the Mediterranean diet have been done before.
D.The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.
14.What does Dr. Andrew McCulloch agree
A.Our diets are closely related to our mental health.
B.The present study needs more facts and other information.
C.The UK population will become ill in the near future.
D.More saturated fats and sugars should be taken in.
15.What s the text mainly about
A.The increasingly unhealthy diet of the UK population.
B.The link between processed food and depression.
C.The relationship between physical and mental health.
D.A healthy diet largely based on wholefood.

The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, diet pills, a no-fat diet, a vegetable diet... We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. 16
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the input of fatty, high-calorie, and unhealthy foods. 17 All we have to do is to understand or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
18 Every time we have a drink without calorie, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don t have to work out to get results.
The danger of diet products also lies in the physical harm they cause. 19 Having them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养物质). Diet foods and diet pills contain no calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional. Chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we understand the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them to reduce weight. 20 Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the harm that comes from using them.
A.Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies.
B.It s believed that diet products result in losing weight.
C.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects.
D.We are paying for products that harm us mentally and physically.
E.We all know the danger of diet products, but it’s hard to resist them.
F.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals.
G.Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight to the scale(秤) instead.

I’m part of the Roots & Shoots programme, founded by Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE. It’s all about making 21 changes in the world, and these changes will make the world better. As Dr. Goodall said, “What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
I decided to do something 22 for the world.
In Bulgaria,where I live,stray(走失的;无主的) dogs are everywhere. Although many people can turn a blind eye, I struggle to 23 the soulful(凄婉的) eyes of a poor street dog. That’s why I m no longer a food-waster. When I see plates of 24 food, I see the desperate eyes of a stray animal. I see a 25 dog prowling around the bins(垃圾箱), searching for food to fill his empty belly. 26 eating out in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to 27 a food bag with leftovers. When there are living beings out there 28 , it seems selfish to waste food. I’ll feed them to the stray cats or dogs. A week ago, I saw a stray dog around the bins. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of 29 fish. As I unwrapped it, he wagged his tail and sniffed the air. The fish was 30 in no time.
It’s sad, isn’t it How can we waste so much food and think 31 of it These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious and it isn’t right to waste it. When your stomach is full, don t throw away the food you’ve left. 32 it for another whose stomach isn t full.
I can’t count the times I’ve passed a stray animal with eyes asking for 33 . For me, it’s something I can’t ignore. That is why I 34 end up fetching something from the food store if I don’t have anything on me at the time.
The next time you see wasted food, 35 it into worthy food for all the starving mouths out there.

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。
At eleven years old, my main concern was money. Where could I get it How much did I need to buy the new must-have thing my classmates either had or wanted as badly as I did
I went to my mom. “Mom, I need more money,” I said, leaning against the kitchen counter while she cooked dinner. “You think you need a job ”Mom asked with a smile. The next day, she had an answer. “Your grandmother will pay you to help her deliver lunch each day to the elderly.” Yes!I pumped my fist into the air.
When my grandmother picked me up, I couldn’t wait to start my new job. My grandmother said, “It’s simple. We pick up a large container full of hot meals in a nearby town and then we go on our delivery route.” After dozens of meals were arranged in the backseat, my grandmother drove us to our first stop. The first house didn’t look nice, but I shrugged and kept going. I didn’t have to live there. I just delivered food there. This was how I would make money. I nearly jumped when I glanced over to see a tiny old woman in the corner looking at me. She sat hunched (弓着背)in a rocking chair and had many wrinkles (皱纹).“Who is this nice young lady ” she asked Grandmother. I just stood there holding the food, unsure what to do. My grandmother guided me inside to place it on her kitchen table. The house smelled bad and it was old. It was like the antique store my mom liked to visit, but I never liked that because even breathing in the dusty air made me feel dirty. I held my breath until we went out.
The next stop was much the same and the next. The houses varied in size and shape. Some were nicer than others, but the same wrinkly people waited for their meals. Each person smiled at me and thanked me as I hurried to get out of there. I was sweaty and tired, and my clothes had captured the smell of the food and old houses.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
By the end of the day,it was obvious that I wasn t very comfortable about the job.
Paragraph 2:
My eyes widened,and I turned to her,“Their only meal ”

Love cooking Join famous chefs in this online challenge—cook, have fun and share your best healthy recipes!
When it comes to food, it’s difficult to match East Asia and the Pacific region in terms of variety and tastiness. From wontons to dumplings, from spicy fish to noodle soups, the amazing food culture in East Asia and the Pacific region is a central part of life for millions of people and indeed tourists from across the world.
However, changes in diet and lifestyle in recent years have sadly destroyed traditional food cultures, and the health of millions of people. Cheap “fast food” and unhealthy snacks that are high in sugar, salt and fat are now all too common but offer little nutrition.

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (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 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.
In the past, 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 we were even neighbors, so we 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 always cooking in the kitchen. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out with a 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.

I’m part of the Roots & Shoots programme, founded by Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE. It’s all about making 21 changes in the world, and these changes will make the world better. As Dr. Goodall said, “What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
I decided to do something 22 for the world.
In Bulgaria,where I live,stray(走失的;无主的) dogs are everywhere. Although many people can turn a blind eye, I struggle to 23 the soulful(凄婉的) eyes of a poor street dog. That’s why I m no longer a food-waster. When I see plates of 24 food, I see the desperate eyes of a stray animal. I see a 25 dog prowling around the bins(垃圾箱), searching for food to fill his empty belly. 26 eating out in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to 27 a food bag with leftovers. When there are living beings out there 28 , it seems selfish to waste food. I’ll feed them to the stray cats or dogs. A week ago, I saw a stray dog around the bins. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of 29 fish. As I unwrapped it, he wagged his tail and sniffed the air. The fish was 30 in no time.
It’s sad, isn’t it How can we waste so much food and think 31 of it These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious and it isn’t right to waste it. When your stomach is full, don t throw away the food you’ve left. 32 it for another whose stomach isn t full.
I can’t count the times I’ve passed a stray animal with eyes asking for 33 . For me, it’s something I can’t ignore. That is why I 34 end up fetching something from the food store if I don’t have anything on me at the time.
The next time you see wasted food, 35 it into worthy food for all the starving mouths out there.

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。
At eleven years old, my main concern was money. Where could I get it How much did I need to buy the new must-have thing my classmates either had or wanted as badly as I did
I went to my mom. “Mom, I need more money,” I said, leaning against the kitchen counter while she cooked dinner. “You think you need a job ”Mom asked with a smile. The next day, she had an answer. “Your grandmother will pay you to help her deliver lunch each day to the elderly.” Yes!I pumped my fist into the air.
When my grandmother picked me up, I couldn’t wait to start my new job. My grandmother said, “It’s simple. We pick up a large container full of hot meals in a nearby town and then we go on our delivery route.” After dozens of meals were arranged in the backseat, my grandmother drove us to our first stop. The first house didn’t look nice, but I shrugged and kept going. I didn’t have to live there. I just delivered food there. This was how I would make money. I nearly jumped when I glanced over to see a tiny old woman in the corner looking at me. She sat hunched (弓着背)in a rocking chair and had many wrinkles (皱纹).“Who is this nice young lady ” she asked Grandmother. I just stood there holding the food, unsure what to do. My grandmother guided me inside to place it on her kitchen table. The house smelled bad and it was old. It was like the antique store my mom liked to visit, but I never liked that because even breathing in the dusty air made me feel dirty. I held my breath until we went out.
The next stop was much the same and the next. The houses varied in size and shape. Some were nicer than others, but the same wrinkly people waited for their meals. Each person smiled at me and thanked me as I hurried to get out of there. I was sweaty and tired, and my clothes had captured the smell of the food and old houses.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
By the end of the day,it was obvious that I wasn t very comfortable about the job.
Paragraph 2:
My eyes widened,and I turned to her,“Their only meal ”

4.D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed”可知,作者的英国朋友认为为了吃一粒小小的葵花子大费周章不值得。故选D。
5.B 推理判断题。作者在第三段和第四段介绍了以前过年的情景,以及过年时家里人会准备的各种吃的东西,其中就包括在上文提到的瓜子,而作者在第四段的最后一句提到自己一定是在那个时候学会了嗑瓜子,由此可知前面的内容都是在为陈述这个事实作铺垫,所以作者提到春节是为了证明嗑瓜子和春节有关。故选B。
6.A 推理判断题。本文作者提到了两个现象:一是中国人嗑瓜子,二是丹麦人吃面包配盐渍鲱鱼。作者在第三、四段说明了嗑瓜子和春节有关,在最后一段说明了丹麦人的面包配盐渍鲱鱼和他们的特定文化有关,由此判断作者想在这篇文章中表达的观点是:饮食习惯来自特定的文化。故选A。

9.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可知Taco Bell是一家很受欢迎的美国快餐店,以墨西哥菜为特色。故选D。
10.A 推理判断题。画线词所在段落的第一句提到Shake Shack餐厅以传统美式汉堡包和奶昔而闻名,此处说的是Harry Wang说它们和他们在美国吃到的非常相似,所以可推测They指代的是上文所说的汉堡包和奶昔。故选A。

17.G 设空处上文提到我们不允许我们的大脑承认我们的体重问题的关键并非在于减少体重, 而在于控制高脂肪、高卡路里和不健康食品的摄入,G项顺承上文所说的内容,我们只关注体重有没有减少,只看秤上的结果,忽略了真正需要注意的问题。故选G。
18.C 设空处下文提到每次我们喝零卡路里的饮料时,我们下意识地告诉自己我们不需要靠运动来获取(减肥)效果,这是C项中提到的“减肥产品具有强大的心理效应”的具体体现。故选C。

第一节
本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己喂流浪狗的经历号召我们,不要把吃剩下的食物扔掉而应该保留下来给流浪动物吃。

第二节
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了安慰食物的重大意义。
36.illustrates 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。设空处为主句谓语动词,结合上下文语境可知此处应用一般现在时,主句主语Rice pudding是不可数名词,故填illustrates。
37.that 考查定语从句。设空处前是名词food,设空处后是谓语动词,故推测设空处引导定语从句,先行词为food (指物)且其前面有any修饰,设空处在从句中作主语, 故填that。
38.helping 考查动名词。设空处前的by为介词,故填动名词helping。
39.highly 考查副词。设空处修饰后面的形容词individual,故用副词highly,意为“很,非常”。
40.on 考查介词。depending on意为“取决于,视乎”,故填on。
41.happiness 考查名词。The feeling of happiness指幸福感。故填 happiness。
42.to give 考查不定式。该句中It作形式主语,故此处应用动词不定式作真正的主语。
43.cultural 考查形容词。设空处修饰后面的复数名词roots,作定语,故填形容词cultural。
44.giving 考查现在分词。give与其逻辑主语 One mouthful of comfort food之间是主动关系,故用现在分词giving。
45.but 考查并列连词。此处指安慰食物不仅是一碗面条或鸡汤,而且是精神食粮。not only...but (also)...意为“不仅……而且……”,故填 but。
第三部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I am very glad to hear from you and delighted to know that you are interested in Chinese food.
During the Spring Festival, it’s a tradition for families to get together and have a big meal. However, the food customs vary from place to place. In the north of China, dumplings are the typical food, which represent change and good luck. In contrast, in the southern part, it’s a great time to eat tangyuan. They are sticky rice balls with different fillings. Tangyuan sounds like “tuanyuan” in Chinese, which means “family reunion”. When you come to Beijing, Beijing Roast Duck is what you can’t miss. I bet it will be an unforgettable experience for you.
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
By the end of the day,it was obvious that I wasn’t very comfortable about the job. “You don’t have to help me,” my grandmother said. “I understand that the job isn’t what you want to do.” I swallowed hard, thinking of money. Did I want to be comfortable, or did I want the money “No, Grandma. It’s okay. I’ll get used to it.” But I was not convinced of my words. “If you’re sure, dear...” A moment of silence settled over the car before she spoke again. “For a lot of the people we deliver to... this is their only meal of the day.”
Paragraph 2:
My eyes widened,and I turned to her, “Their only meal ”She nodded seriously. “For some of them we’re the only people they see. Many of them are alone.” I thought about that. I couldn’t imagine not having my mom, my grandmother or my friends. When we were back at the house, my grandmother handed me the money I’d earned. It didn’t seem quite as exciting anymore. I’d like to say that I did something incredible with the money I earned. What matters is that those people with smiles sinking in their wrinkled faces brought unexpected joy to my life while I brought them only a simple gift.
