（23-24八年级下·福建福州·阶段练习）At about noon one weekday in Maizidian, a busy business area in Beijing, office workers come in and out of a convenience (便利) store just as usual. Nearly all carry packaged (包装的) meals and drinks.
The store sells 800 to 1000 packaged meals, usually including rice and some smaller dishes, at lunchtime every workday. About 80% of the buyers are white-collar workers. Reasonable prices, convenience and quality of ready-to-eat meals have changed convenience stores into “kitchens” for many city workers.
Zhang Hui, 32, an office worker in Shanghai, goes to these stores for most of her meals. She spends less than 10 yuan on breakfast and about 20 yuan on packaged meals for lunch and dinner each day. “When I’m busy, or when I have to eat alone, I will choose ready to eat foods in convenience stores, which are fast and make buying easy. This also saves me from feeling uncomfortable about eating alone in a restaurant,” Zhang said. “And, the taste of such foods is acceptable.”
China has about 122,000 convenience stores, mainly in first-tier and second-tier cities (一线和二线城市). With the changes of modern society, people seem to have faster lives. Most of them now don’t have as much time to cook as before. With more disposable income (可支配收入), people are more willing to spend on convenience. And now they are paying more attention to the environment and food safety. Ready-to-eat foods in convenience stores can meet these needs, mainly for a large number of young single people.
1．The following are the reasons for choosing convenience store EXCEPT ________.
A．convenience B．modern kitchens

3．From Paragraph 3, we can know ________.
A．Zhang Hui doesn’t know how to cook
B．Zhang Hui often eats alone in a restaurant
C．Zhang Hui thinks buying ready-to-eat foods is a good choice
D．Zhang Hui thinks ready-to-eat foods taste good
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．China’s convenience stores are only in big cities.
B．People care more about the environment and food safety.
C．People in big cities have as much time to cook as before.
D．Zhang Hui spends less than 20 yuan in convenience stores every day.

A．What convenience stores sell. B．How people like convenience stores.

（23-24八年级下·福建福州·期末）Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own canteen (食堂). Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day.
The Ministry of Education warns (警告) against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan.
What has made pre-made meals so popular They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient (方便的) to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Few people think that it is acceptable (可接受的) to eat pre-made food every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either.
In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not always unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go.
1．How did the writer start this passage
A．By giving an example. B．By showing reasons.
C．By presenting numbers. D．By raising a question.
2．Why is the Ministry of Education against pre-made meals
A．Because pre-made meals are too expensive.
B．Because it thinks that pre-made food is not safe.
C．Because no national standards are set for pre-made food.
D．Because pre-made meals are not so healthy as homemade meals.
3．What do parents think of pre-made meals according to Paragraph 3
A．Quick and convenient. B．Tasty and healthy.
C．Tasteless and unsafe. D．Worrying and unacceptable.
4．What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A．The market of pre-made meals is a success.
B．Not all the companies follow the hygiene rules.
C．Pre-made meals are all prepared in school kitchens.
D．Pre-made meals are as healthy as freshly cooked food.

However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Few people think that it is acceptable (可接受的) to eat pre-made food every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either.
In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not always unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food.

（23-24八年级下·河南商丘·期末）Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own kitchen.
Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day.
The Ministry of Education (教育部) warns (告诫) against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies (公司) in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan.
What has made pre-made meals so popular They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Pre-made food may be acceptable sometimes, but few people eat it every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either.
In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not always unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go.
