A
(2025·江苏泰州靖江中学高二上期中)
A new study has found that experiencing nature，such as taking a walk in a park or even just viewing photos of a natural setting，encourages healthier food choices.
“We found that exposure to nature increases the importance that people attach to health compared to taste or other properties when making food choices，” explained Maria Langlois，assistant professor at Southern Methodist University and first author of the study.
Gathering evidence from hundreds of participants from five different studies across three countries over seven years，Langlois examined the food choices made after both real-world and virtual experiences of nature.In the first study conducted in France，participants took a twenty-minute long walk through either a large green park or the city，taking photos along the way.Afterwards，they could choose what they wanted to eat from a snack buffet.Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers.
But was it the nature or the photo that did the trick The researchers moved online，and took on more participants.One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting.A third control group had no window view—they had closed curtains.Those exposed to “nature” in this way were found to make healthier food choices compared to both the control and urban groups.“By including a control condition in our work，this research shows that it is not exposure to urban environments that is driving unhealthy food choices，but really exposure to natural environments that is driving healthier food choices，” said Langlois.
With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050，this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs.It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize，we need nature.

(2024·河南中州联盟高二上期末)
Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh，therefore minimizing food waste—especially if consumers can better understand those packaging technologies.That’s among the takeaways of research led by Michigan State University (MSU)’s School of Packaging，detailed in a recently released white paper.
In the United States，food waste in landfills doubled from 1990 to 2020，according to data shared by the US Environmental Protection Agency this year.Researchers cited data showing 40% of the food supply is wasted each year，with 43% of that happening at the consumer or household level.
Ameripen，the only organization exclusively focused on US public policy for the entire packaging industry，and the Environmental Research & Education Foundation funded research that included a survey of more than 1,000 people in the United States.Ameripen said it wanted to know what role packaging could play in reducing household food waste as well as understand consumer awareness of food packaging’s value and functions.
The survey asked consumers about their understanding of packaging forms and willingness to pay more for packaging designed to reduce food waste，among other areas.
The study found that whole fruits and vegetables，particularly bananas and lettuce，are the foods most wasted by households，with dairy products，prepared packaged foods and leftovers also common culprits(罪魁祸首)．“Half-eaten packaged food products and food without packaging that went bad before it was eaten are the two primary reasons for food waste in American households，indicating there is opportunity for improved packaging design to help consumers with extending shelf life，reuse and size，” the white paper states.
Researchers reported that while consumers’ current understanding of packaging technologies was “limited”，they indicated “they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.”
“There’s a need to design packaging for produce that is currently not packaged；that most of the produce in this study was wasted is because there is no packaging at all，” MSU’s Korey Fennel said during the webinar(网络研讨会)，also noting the importance of “intelligent packaging” that could indicate the shelf life of food products.
5．What does the underlined word “minimizing” in the first paragraph mean
A．Showing. B．Continuing.
C．Recovering. D．Reducing.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh”以及下文“food waste”可知，包装在保持农产品和其他食品新鲜方面发挥着更大的作用，因此包装能够减少食物浪费。由此可知，画线词意为“减少”。故选D。
6．What does the author intend to do in the second paragraph
A．Summarize the previous paragraph.
B．Provide some advice for the readers.
C．Add some background information.
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
答案 C
解析 写作意图题。根据第二段“In the United States，food waste in landfills doubled from 1990 to 2020...Researchers cited data showing 40% of the food supply is wasted each year，with 43% of that happening at the consumer or household level.”可知，第二段通过数据表明美国人食物浪费的问题很严重，即添加一些背景信息。故选C。
7．How did the researchers conduct their study
A．By making observations.
B．By asking questions.
C．By carrying out experiments.
D．By referring to former studies.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段“The survey asked consumers about...”可知，研究者是通过问消费者问题的方式进行研究的。故选B。
8．What is the consumers’ attitude to purchasing packaged food according to the study
A．Cautious. B．Unclear.
C．Critical. D．Favorable.
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段“Researchers reported that while consumers’．..they indicated ‘they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.’”可推知，研究中消费者对购买带包装的食品持有的是肯定的态度。故选D。
[词汇积累] 1．minimize vt.把(某事物)减至最低限度；贬低(某事物)的价值(重要性) 2．takeaway 熟义：n.外卖餐馆；外卖食品 生义(文义)：n.重要信息，要点 3．exclusively adv.专用地，独享地；排外地→exclusive adj.独有的；高档的；排外的；不含…… n．独家新闻→exclude v．不包括；把……排斥在外；排除(……的可能性)→exclusion n．排除；排斥 4．leftover n．(pl.)残羹剩菜；遗留，遗留下来的风俗习惯 [句式分析] Half-eaten packaged food products and food without packaging that went bad before it was eaten are the two primary reasons for food waste in American households，indicating there is opportunity for improved packaging design to help consumers with extending shelf life，reuse and size... 分析：此句为复合句。that引导定语从句，在这个从句中before引导时间状语从句；indicating...为现在分词短语作状语。 翻译：在美国家庭中，吃了一半的有包装的食品和在吃之前就变质的无包装的产品是食物浪费的两个主要原因，这表明有机会改进包装设计，以帮助消费者延长保质期、再利用和尺寸……

A new study has found that experiencing nature，such as taking a walk in a park or even just viewing photos of a natural setting，encourages healthier food choices.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，体验自然会鼓励人们选择更健康的食物。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
“We found that exposure to nature increases the importance that people attach to health compared to taste or other properties when making food choices，” explained Maria Langlois，assistant professor at Southern Methodist University and first author of the study.
Gathering evidence from hundreds of participants from five different studies across three countries over seven years，Langlois examined the food choices made after both real-world and virtual experiences of nature.In the first study conducted in France，participants took a twenty-minute long walk through either a large green park or the city，taking photos along the way.Afterwards，they could choose what they wanted to eat from a snack buffet.Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers.
But was it the nature or the photo that did the trick The researchers moved online，and took on more participants.One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting.A third control group had no window view—they had closed curtains.Those exposed to “nature” in this way were found to make healthier food choices compared to both the control and urban groups.“By including a control condition in our work，this research shows that it is not exposure to urban environments that is driving unhealthy food choices，but really exposure to natural environments that is driving healthier food choices，” said Langlois.
With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050，this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs.It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize，we need nature.
1.What is Maria Langlois’s study mainly about
A.The impact of nature on physical exercise.
B.The influence of nature on food choices.
C.The effect of urban environments on health.

(2024·河南中州联盟高二上期末)
Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh，therefore minimizing food waste—especially if consumers can better understand those packaging technologies.That’s among the takeaways of research led by Michigan State University (MSU)’s School of Packaging，detailed in a recently released white paper.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了包装技术在减少食物浪费方面的重要性。
In the United States，food waste in landfills doubled from 1990 to 2020，according to data shared by the US Environmental Protection Agency this year.Researchers cited data showing 40% of the food supply is wasted each year，with 43% of that happening at the consumer or household level.
Ameripen，the only organization exclusively focused on US public policy for the entire packaging industry，and the Environmental Research & Education Foundation funded research that included a survey of more than 1,000 people in the United States.Ameripen said it wanted to know what role packaging could play in reducing household food waste as well as understand consumer awareness of food packaging’s value and functions.
The survey asked consumers about their understanding of packaging forms and willingness to pay more for packaging designed to reduce food waste，among other areas.
The study found that whole fruits and vegetables，particularly bananas and lettuce，are the foods most wasted by households，with dairy products，prepared packaged foods and leftovers also common culprits(罪魁祸首).“Half-eaten packaged food products and food without packaging that went bad before it was eaten are the two primary reasons for food waste in American households，indicating there is opportunity for improved packaging design to help consumers with extending shelf life，reuse and size，” the white paper states.
Researchers reported that while consumers’ current understanding of packaging technologies was “limited”，they indicated “they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.”
“There’s a need to design packaging for produce that is currently not packaged；that most of the produce in this study was wasted is because there is no packaging at all，” MSU’s Korey Fennel said during the webinar(网络研讨会)，also noting the importance of “intelligent packaging” that could indicate the shelf life of food products.
5.What does the underlined word “minimizing” in the first paragraph mean
A.Showing. B.Continuing.
C.Recovering. D.Reducing.
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh”以及下文“food waste”可知，包装在保持农产品和其他食品新鲜方面发挥着更大的作用，因此包装能够减少食物浪费。由此可知，画线词意为“减少”。故选D。
解析

A.Summarize the previous paragraph.
B.Provide some advice for the readers.
C.Add some background information.
D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.

解析
7.How did the researchers conduct their study
A.By making observations.
B.By asking questions.
C.By carrying out experiments.
D.By referring to former studies.
细节理解题。根据第四段“The survey asked consumers about...”可知，研究者是通过问消费者问题的方式进行研究的。故选B。
解析
√
8.What is the consumers’ attitude to purchasing packaged food according to the study
A.Cautious. B.Unclear.
C.Critical. D.Favorable.
√
观点态度题。根据倒数第二段“Researchers reported that while consumers’...they indicated ‘they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.’”可推知，研究中消费者对购买带包装的食品持有的是肯定的态度。故选D。
解析
1.minimize vt.把(某事物)减至最低限度；贬低(某事物)的价值(重要性)
2.takeaway 熟义：n.外卖餐馆；外卖食品 生义(文义)：n.重要信息，要点
