(2024·广东东莞高二上期末)
Wine experts have warned for years that climate change could result in shifting harvest seasons,lower quality wine,and limited plant growth.But here’s a piece of good news: In Bordeaux,France,one of the world’s main wine growing areas,climate change may actually make wine taste better—for now.
70-year data of wine critic scores in Bordeaux,with weather data from the period,showed that wine quality—based on factors such as rich and strong taste—increased over time,according to a study.
For the years 1950 to 2020,scientists analyzed the variation in overall Bordeaux wine quality.The team’s statistical models tested how wine quality in Bordeaux was related to weather factors such as season length,temperature,and rainfall.
The highest-quality Bordeaux wines came from years with warmer and drier summers,cooler and wetter winters,earlier and shorter growing seasons.Climate change is expected to make these conditions more frequent in the region.For instance,it is predicted that France will become warmer,with a four-degree Celsius increase by 2100.Warm temperatures can increase grapes’ sugar content and create sweeter wine.Because Bordeaux wine producers traditionally rely on rainfall for water,there is a direct connection between the climate and wine productivity.
Study leader Andrew was surprised to find that more rainfall during the winter season when grapevines(葡萄藤) are not growing,resulted in better quality wine for the following harvest.“Traditionally we consider weather during the growing season to see how it can affect grape quality.However,the vines are there all year round,and we found weather conditions in the non-growing season had an impact through the next harvest,” says Andrew.More rain in the winter might result in better water balance in the soil during the growing season.“Healthy vines make better grapes,” says Andrew.

Struggling to give up meat and move to a vegetarian diet Your genes could be to blame,scientists suspect.A study suggests that genetics plays a role in whether people can stick to a strict vegetarian diet.While deciding to quit meat may be a personal lifestyle choice,based on religious and moral considerations,genetics can make it harder or easier for some people.
“Are all humans capable of existing long term on a strict vegetarian diet This is a question that has not been seriously studied,” said study author Dr Nabeel Yaseen.“There is something that people may be missing.”
“One area where plant products differ from meat is complex lipids (fats).There may be lipid components present in meat that some people need.And maybe people whose genetics favour vegetarianism are able to synthesise(合成) these components.”
Experts compared UK Biobank genetic data from 5,324 strict vegetarians who avoided fish,poultry and red meat,to 329,44 people who were omnivorous(杂食的).They found three genes that were significantly associated with vegetarianism and another 31 genes that are potentially associated.Several of these genes,including two of the top three,were involved in lipid (fat) metabolism(新陈代谢) and brain function.It has led experts to believe that people who find a vegetarian diet easy to follow may be able to synthesise these important fats from elsewhere.According to the Vegetarian Society,4.5 percent of the British population follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Scientists say that often the driving force behind why people choose certain foods is not just taste but how well the body metabolises products.Dr Yaseen believes there may be something in meat that most people struggle to do without.“Perhaps you have a certain component—maybe a lipid component—that makes you need and long for it,” he added.
The experts believe the findings open the door to creating better meat substitutes as well as tailoring dietary recommendations to personal genetics.
5.Why does the author mention the question raised by Dr Yaseen in paragraph 2
A.To emphasise its significance.
B.To draw wide attention.
C.To uncover something overlooked.
D.To lead in the topic.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二、三段以及第四段中“They found three genes...and brain function.”可知,作者在第二段提到Yaseen博士提出的问题是为了引出话题,即基因在坚持素食饮食中的角色。故选D。
6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The process involved.
B.The approach adopted.
C.The data gathered.
D.The conclusion drawn.
答案 D
解析 段落大意题。根据第四段中“They found three genes that were significantly associated with vegetarianism and another 31 genes that are potentially associated.Several of these genes,including two of the top three,were involved in lipid (fat) metabolism(新陈代谢) and brain function.”可知,第四段主要是关于得出的结论。故选D。
7.What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to in paragraph 5
A.The driving force. B.A certain food.
C.A lipid component. D.Meat.
答案 D
解析 代词指代题。根据第五段中“Dr Yaseen believes there may be something in meat that most people struggle to do without.‘Perhaps you have a certain component—maybe a lipid component—that makes you need and long for it’”可知,Yaseen博士认为,肉中可能含有某种大多数人都很难不吃的物质,也许有某种特定成分——可能是脂质成分——让你需要并渴望它,即it指代的是前一句中提到的meat(肉)。故选D。
8.What is the best title for the text
A.What Determines Your Passion for Food
B.Can’t Resist Meat Blame Your Genes
C.Vegetarian or Vegan Ask Your Genes
D.What Plays a Role in a Vegetarian Diet
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。综合全文内容,尤其根据第一段中“Struggling to give up meat and move to a vegetarian diet Your genes could be to blame,scientists suspect.”可知,文章介绍了无法放弃吃肉可能与基因有关。由此可知,B项提炼了文章的核心观点,适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。

Can’t Resist Junk Food Study Suggests
You Try This Simple Trick
You’re tired and hungry.Then you catch a whiff of something delicious,probably fried and almost certainly fattening.It is fried chicken! 1 A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Let’s take a closer look at this process.Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes? 2 And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments,including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria,show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e.g.cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell). 3 That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth,which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food.
4 When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined,food choices were not profoundly influenced.The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries,it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. 5
A.But wait a minute before you order.
B.It’s a response that has been researched.
C.Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D.It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E.However,it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F.It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G.The brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
语篇解读 本文为说明文,主要介绍了一个抵制垃圾食品诱惑的技巧——闻至少两分钟垃圾食品的气味。
1.答案 A
解析 上文“You’re tired and hungry.Then you catch a whiff of something delicious,probably fried and almost certainly fattening.It is fried chicken!”假设了一种场景——你在又累又饿时闻到了炸鸡的香味;下文“A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.”讲闻至少两分钟垃圾食品的气味会帮助你选择更健康的食品,所以本句与上文形成转折,并且与等待时间有关,A项“但是在点餐之前先等一下”符合题意。故选A。
2.答案 D
解析 根据上文“在排队等了几分钟之后会发生什么呢?”和下文“这恰恰是要离开的时刻”可知,本句承上启下,D项“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了”符合题意。故选D。
3.答案 G
解析 根据本段上文可知,一系列的实验结果表明闻垃圾食品的气味多于两分钟后会导致垃圾食品购买量的下降,下文在解释闻到垃圾食品的气味就如同嘴巴吃到了一样满足。所以本句要表达大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显。故选G。
4.答案 E
解析 根据下一句“当检测闻健康食物的气味时,食物选择并没有受到很大的影响”可以得知,本句内容与健康食物的气味相关,并且表达转折的语义。故选E。
5.答案 F
解析 上文讲抵制垃圾食品的最简单的方法是坐在那里闻上一两分钟(垃圾食品的)香甜的味道,F项“这与吃到它一样,也可以满足吃的欲望”对上文进行补充说明,符合题意。故选F。

There is no answer,really—no disputing about tastes,10. the old saying goes.
1.答案 forms
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。陈述事实用一般现在时,主语为pepper,谓语用三单形式。故填forms。

8.答案 used
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处为状语从句的省略,当主从句主语一致,从句谓语含有be动词时,从句中的主语和be动词可省略;此处省略了主语they和be动词are;use与省略了的从句主语they构成被动关系,故用过去分词,故填used。
9.答案 why
解析 考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少原因状语,应用why。故填why。
10.答案 as
解析 考查定语从句。此处表示“正如谚语所说”应用as引导非限制性定语从句。故填as。(共69张PPT)

Wine experts have warned for years that climate change could result in shifting harvest seasons,lower quality wine,and limited plant growth.But here’s a piece of good news: In Bordeaux,France,one of the world’s main wine growing areas,climate change may actually make wine taste better—for now.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候变化让波尔多葡萄酒味道更好,介绍了对这一现象进行的相关研究以及研究发现。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
70-year data of wine critic scores in Bordeaux,with weather data from the period,showed that wine quality—based on factors such as rich and strong taste—increased over time,according to a study.
For the years 1950 to 2020,scientists analyzed the variation in overall Bordeaux wine quality.The team’s statistical models tested how wine quality in Bordeaux was related to weather factors such as season length,temperature,and rainfall.
The highest-quality Bordeaux wines came from years with warmer and drier summers,cooler and wetter winters,earlier and shorter growing seasons.Climate change is expected to make these conditions more frequent in the region.For instance,it is predicted that France will become warmer,with a four-degree Celsius increase by 2100.Warm temperatures can increase grapes’ sugar content and create sweeter wine.Because Bordeaux wine producers traditionally rely on rainfall for water,there is a direct connection between the climate and wine productivity.
Study leader Andrew was surprised to find that more rainfall during the winter season when grapevines(葡萄藤) are not growing,resulted in better quality wine for the following harvest.“Traditionally we consider weather during the growing season to see how it can affect grape quality.However,the vines are there all year round,and we found weather conditions in the non-growing season had an impact through the next harvest,” says Andrew.More rain in the winter might result in better water balance in the soil during the growing season.“Healthy vines make better grapes,” says Andrew.
1.What may be the effect of climate change on wine in Bordeaux in paragraph 1
A.The taste of the wine is better.
B.The price of the wine is higher.
C.The production of the wine increases.
D.The quality of the wine is lower.

Struggling to give up meat and move to a vegetarian diet Your genes could be to blame,scientists suspect.A study suggests that genetics plays a role in whether people can stick to a strict vegetarian diet.While deciding to quit meat may be a personal lifestyle choice,based on religious and moral considerations,genetics can make it harder or easier for some people.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无法放弃肉类可能与基因有关。
“Are all humans capable of existing long term on a strict vegetarian diet This is a question that has not been seriously studied,” said study author Dr Nabeel Yaseen.“There is something that people may be missing.”
“One area where plant products differ from meat is complex lipids (fats).There may be lipid components present in meat that some people need.And maybe people whose genetics favour vegetarianism are able to synthesise(合成) these components.”
Experts compared UK Biobank genetic data from 5,324 strict vegetarians who avoided fish,poultry and red meat,to 329,44 people who were omnivorous(杂食的).They found three genes that were significantly associated with vegetarianism and another 31 genes that are potentially associated.Several of these genes,including two of the top three,were involved in lipid (fat) metabolism(新陈代谢) and brain function.It has led experts to believe that people who find a vegetarian diet easy to follow may be able to synthesise these important fats from elsewhere.According to the Vegetarian Society,4.5 percent of the British population follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Scientists say that often the driving force behind why people choose certain foods is not just taste but how well the body metabolises products.Dr Yaseen believes there may be something in meat that most people struggle to do without.“Perhaps you have a certain component—maybe a lipid component—that makes you need and long for it,” he added.
The experts believe the findings open the door to creating better meat substitutes as well as tailoring dietary recommendations to personal genetics.
5.Why does the author mention the question raised by Dr Yaseen in paragraph 2
A.To emphasise its significance.
B.To draw wide attention.
C.To uncover something overlooked.
D.To lead in the topic.
推理判断题。根据第二、三段以及第四段中“They found three genes...and brain function.”可知,作者在第二段提到Yaseen博士提出的问题是为了引出话题,即基因在坚持素食饮食中的角色。故选D。
解析
√
6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The process involved.
B.The approach adopted.
C.The data gathered.
D.The conclusion drawn.
段落大意题。根据第四段中“They found three genes that were significantly associated with vegetarianism and another 31 genes that are potentially associated.Several of these genes,including two of the top three,were involved in lipid (fat) metabolism(新陈代谢) and brain function.”可知,第四段主要是关于得出的结论。故选D。
解析
√
7.What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to in paragraph 5
A.The driving force. B.A certain food.
C.A lipid component. D.Meat.
代词指代题。根据第五段中“Dr Yaseen believes there may be something in meat that most people struggle to do without.‘Perhaps you have a certain component—maybe a lipid component—that makes you need and long for it’”可知,Yaseen博士认为,肉中可能含有某种大多数人都很难不吃的物质,也许有某种特定成分——可能是脂质成分——让你需要并渴望它,即it指代的是前一句中提到的meat(肉)。故选D。
解析
√
8.What is the best title for the text
A.What Determines Your Passion for Food
B.Can’t Resist Meat Blame Your Genes
C.Vegetarian or Vegan Ask Your Genes
D.What Plays a Role in a Vegetarian Diet
标题归纳题。综合全文内容,尤其根据第一段中“Struggling to give up meat and move to a vegetarian diet Your genes could be to blame,scientists suspect.”可知,文章介绍了无法放弃吃肉可能与基因有关。由此可知,B项提炼了文章的核心观点,适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。

C.Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D.It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E.However,it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F.It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G.The brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
1 A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
√
上文“You’re tired and hungry.Then you catch a whiff of something delicious,probably fried and almost certainly fattening.It is fried chicken!”假设了一种场景——你在又累又饿时闻到了炸鸡的香味;下文“A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.”讲闻至少两分钟垃圾食品的气味会帮助你选择更健康的食品,所以本句与上文形成转折,并且与等待时间有关,A项“但是在点餐之前先等一下”符合题意。故选A。
解析
Let’s take a closer look at this process.Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes?
2 And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
A.But wait a minute before you order.
B.It’s a response that has been researched.
C.Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D.It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E.However,it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.

G.The brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
√
根据上文“在排队等了几分钟之后会发生什么呢?”和下文“这恰恰是要离开的时刻”可知,本句承上启下,D项“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了”符合题意。故选D。
解析
The results of a series of experiments,including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria,show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e.g.cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell).
3 That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth,which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food.
A.But wait a minute before you order.
B.It’s a response that has been researched.
C.Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D.It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E.However,it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F.It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G.The brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
√
根据本段上文可知,一系列的实验结果表明闻垃圾食品的气味多于两分钟后会导致垃圾食品购买量的下降,下文在解释闻到垃圾食品的气味就如同嘴巴吃到了一样满足。所以本句要表达大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显。故选G。
解析
4 When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined,food choices were not profoundly influenced.
A.But wait a minute before you order.
B.It’s a response that has been researched.
C.Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D.It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E.However,it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F.It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G.The brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
√
根据下一句“当检测闻健康食物的气味时,食物选择并没有受到很大的影响”可以得知,本句内容与健康食物的气味相关,并且表达转折的语义。故选E。
解析
The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries,
it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. 5
A.But wait a minute before you order.
