四、阅读理解
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。
Each culture
has a diet of its own. The diet of the people in that land is influenced by the
availability of food in that area. For example, meat is one of the main sources
of energy for the body in colder climates. Therefore, it can be seen that meat in
the diet of people in cold countries is more plentiful.
In Kerala,
India, people eat more fish. Rice is Kerala's main food. In all three meals, rice
dishes can be seen.
While preparing
powdered porridge, baked pappadam and healthy coconut milk, a grandmother was listening
to her grandchildren call her. Then the door opened and there came her grandchildren.
Something unfamiliar was found in the bowl in their hands. The grandmother gave
it a sniff (嗅) and put it back. Through the
look on her face, you could tell that she did not like the smell. Then one of the
grandchildren said, "How easy it is to make noodles! Only five minutes is enough."
This is the experience of an old grandmother who came to stay with her kids and
grandchildren. Two days later, the grandmother, who was ready to spend at least
two months with her children, returned to her village.
Traditional
dishes of Kerala, such as powdered porridge, pappadam, bread, kappa, fish curry,
sambar and spices, are disappearing. Instead, even in the slums ( 贫民窟) of Kerala, many foreign dishes such as fried rice, chilli chicken and
ginger chicken are becoming available. After working in the sun all day in the fields,
the last generation could be seen drinking a cup of sambhara, a traditional Indian
tea. But today, people prefer drinking modern red and yellow flavoured water.
When our
taste in food changes, it can affect more than just our diet. Those who don't know
how to make overseas dishes don't even get kitchen work today. We try to mimic (模仿) foreigners and accept the dishes they find unhealthy, even though foreigners
are culturally inclined towards (倾向于) our diet. Though visitors
come to Kerala to buy our bread, fish curry, pudding and fruit, people in Kerala
go to restaurants to buy foreign rice and soups and empty their pockets.
36．Why did the old grandmother return to her village ahead of time
A．She got terribly angry with her kids.
B．She had something important to deal with.
C．She didn't enjoy the food at her kids' home.
D．She didn't get along well with her grandchildren.
37．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The loss of Kerala's traditional dishes.
B．Measures to save Kerala's traditional dishes.
C．Benefits of keeping Kerala's traditional dishes.
D．The improvement of people's living conditions in Kerala.
38．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Kerala has shaken off the "poor" label.
B．Foreign food is popular in Kerala.
C．Kerala offers cooks few job opportunities.
D．Fewer and fewer people in Kerala cook for themselves.
39．How might the author feel when writing the text
A．Worried. B．Grateful. C．Doubtful. D．Satisfied.
【答案】36．C
37．A
38．B
39．A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了印度Kerala地区独特的饮食文化正在消失。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和段落大意两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
36．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Through the look on her face, you could tell that she did not like the smell. Then one of the grandchildren said, ‘How easy it is to make noodles! Only five minutes is enough.'”从她脸上的表情，你可以看出她不喜欢这种气味。然后一个孙子说：“做面条多容易啊！五分钟就够了。”可推知，祖母不喜欢孩子家里的饮食，故选C。
37．考查段落大意。根据第四段中的“Traditional dishes of Kerala, such as powdered porridge, pappadam, bread, kappa, fish curry, sambar and spices, are disappearing.”喀拉拉邦的传统菜肴，如粉状粥、pappadam、面包、kappa、咖喱鱼、桑巴和香料，正在消失。可知，该段说明了Kerala地区传统饮食的消失，故选A。
38．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“ Those who don't know how to make overseas dishes don't even get kitchen work today. ”那些不知道如何制作海外菜肴的人今天甚至连厨房工作都没有；以及“people in Kerala go to restaurants to buy foreign rice and soups and empty their pockets”喀拉拉邦的人们去餐馆买外国米饭和汤，掏空口袋。可知，外来食品在Kerala很受欢迎。故选B。
39．考查推理判断。作者通过说明Kerala的传统饮食的消失及该地区人民对外来食物的喜爱，表达了他对这种传统饮食文化消失的担忧。故选A。
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。
Fast-food chains including Burger King and Starbucks have
brought in plant-based meat products to China in an effort to promote healthy
eating and protect the environment. Readers
share their opinions.
Linda(China)
I just don't get it. If
you want something that tastes like meat, you'd better eat meat. Plant-based meat is highly processed. It is not as healthy as vegetables. It contains amounts of unhealthy fat, salt and artificial
additives. Regular
exercise, along with a well-balanced diet, is the best way to stay healthy.
Terryfoy(the UK)
The human body was not designed for us only to eat vegetables. We are designed to eat meat. The protein that our body must have to survive comes from the
meat we eat. The body
functions properly with the correct balance between meat and vegetables. Too much meat and we get fat; too little meat and we get
skinny and weak. If you want
to be healthy, you must eat a balanced diet of both meat and vegetables.
Taikor(Malaysia)
Start with a huge cutdown on meat. Regarding pigs, do you know they could outsmart you on
PlayStation games Don't be surprised. They're
much smarter than dogs. So they are
better at video games than some primates(灵长目动物). Pigs are
extremely clever animals. They're
gentle, defenseless creatures. Start
doing it now. It's time we
made a change.
Sockmonkey(Singapore)
I could never be a vegetarian. I eat very little meat, but I do love the meat I eat! If one
has to cut down on meat, it seems that red meat is the first thing to be
minimized since it's not as good for you as other types.
40．What does Linda think of plant-based meat
A．Unhealthy. B．Necessary. C．Delicious. D．Well-balanced.
41．Who suggests that humans should have less meat
A．Linda and Taikor. B．Linda and Terryfoy.
C．Taikor and Sockmonkey. D．Terryfoy and Sockmonkey.
42．What's the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce the harm of eating too much meat.
B．To show us different opinions about eating meat.
C．To inform us of the advantages of a balanced diet.
D．To state the necessity of protecting the environment.
【答案】40．A
41．C
42．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，就连锁快餐店引进植物性肉制品问题展示了来自不同国家的四个人的不同观点。
【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题、推理判断题，是一篇生活类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。
40．考查细节理解。根据 Linda(China) 部分中的"It is not as healthy as vegetables. "它不如蔬菜健康，可知，Linda认为植物性肉制品不如蔬菜健康。故选A。
41．考查细节理解。根据 Taikor(Malaysia) 部分中的"Start with a huge cutdown on meat. "从大幅削减肉类开始；以及接下来提到猪是很聪明的动物可知，Taikor建议人们少吃猪肉； 结合最后一段中的"If one has to cut down on meat，it seems that red meat is the first thing to be minimized since it's not as good for you as other types. "如果必须减少肉食，红肉似乎是第一个要减少的东西，因为它对你的身体没有其他类型的好。可知，Sockmonkey建议人们少吃红肉。即这两个人建议人们少吃肉，故选C。
42．考查推理判断。根据第一段“ Fast-food chains including Burger King and Starbucks have brought in plant-based meat products to China in an effort to promote healthy eating and protect the environment. Readers share their opinions. ”包括汉堡王和星巴克在内的快餐连锁店已将植物肉类产品引入中国，以促进健康饮食和保护环境。读者分享他们的观点。可知，本文主要就连锁快餐店引进植物性肉制品问题展示了一些人的观点，所以本文的目的是向我们展示关于吃肉的不同观点。故选B

availability of food in that area. For example, meat is one of the main sources
of energy for the body in colder climates. Therefore, it can be seen that meat in
the diet of people in cold countries is more plentiful.
In Kerala,
India, people eat more fish. Rice is Kerala's main food. In all three meals, rice
dishes can be seen.
While preparing
powdered porridge, baked pappadam and healthy coconut milk, a grandmother was listening
to her grandchildren call her. Then the door opened and there came her grandchildren.
Something unfamiliar was found in the bowl in their hands. The grandmother gave
it a sniff (嗅) and put it back. Through the
look on her face, you could tell that she did not like the smell. Then one of the
grandchildren said, "How easy it is to make noodles! Only five minutes is enough."
This is the experience of an old grandmother who came to stay with her kids and
grandchildren. Two days later, the grandmother, who was ready to spend at least
two months with her children, returned to her village.
Traditional
dishes of Kerala, such as powdered porridge, pappadam, bread, kappa, fish curry,
sambar and spices, are disappearing. Instead, even in the slums ( 贫民窟) of Kerala, many foreign dishes such as fried rice, chilli chicken and
ginger chicken are becoming available. After working in the sun all day in the fields,
the last generation could be seen drinking a cup of sambhara, a traditional Indian
tea. But today, people prefer drinking modern red and yellow flavoured water.
When our
taste in food changes, it can affect more than just our diet. Those who don't know
how to make overseas dishes don't even get kitchen work today. We try to mimic (模仿) foreigners and accept the dishes they find unhealthy, even though foreigners
are culturally inclined towards (倾向于) our diet. Though visitors
come to Kerala to buy our bread, fish curry, pudding and fruit, people in Kerala
go to restaurants to buy foreign rice and soups and empty their pockets.

Linda(China)
I just don't get it. If
you want something that tastes like meat, you'd better eat meat. Plant-based meat is highly processed. It is not as healthy as vegetables. It contains amounts of unhealthy fat, salt and artificial
additives. Regular
exercise, along with a well-balanced diet, is the best way to stay healthy.
Terryfoy(the UK)
The human body was not designed for us only to eat vegetables. We are designed to eat meat. The protein that our body must have to survive comes from the
meat we eat. The body
functions properly with the correct balance between meat and vegetables. Too much meat and we get fat; too little meat and we get
skinny and weak. If you want
to be healthy, you must eat a balanced diet of both meat and vegetables.
Taikor(Malaysia)
Start with a huge cutdown on meat. Regarding pigs, do you know they could outsmart you on
PlayStation games Don't be surprised. They're
much smarter than dogs. So they are
better at video games than some primates(灵长目动物). Pigs are
extremely clever animals. They're
gentle, defenseless creatures. Start
doing it now. It's time we
made a change.
Sockmonkey(Singapore)

minimized since it's not as good for you as other types.
