课时作业24
(总分：35分)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
(2024·陕西宝鸡高三模拟)
Rising food prices have taken a big bite out of what Canadians are able to serve up for dinner but food economists say our ability to cope has been deteriorated by our common decline in cooking skills. “We are less able to cook than we were 30 or 40 years ago, and so it's much more difficult for us to adapt our diet，” said Mike von Massow, an associate professor at the University of Guelph.
A 2010 federal government report called Improving Cooking and Food Preparation Skills, the most recent of its kind, said that all across the population, processed and pre prepared foods have been permitted. “Related to this permission is the potential lack of transference of basic, traditional cooking and food preparation skills from parents to children and adolescents，” the report reads.
Moreover, the quality of pre prepared foods in the market remains uneven, with problems related to the lack of detailed labelling on such products, as well as difficulties in logistics and distribution.
Annie Belov, a 21 year old student, has taught herself a lot about cooking since food prices started shooting up. “When the inflation (通货膨胀) wasn't as bad, I was constantly eating out，” said Belov. That might mean food on campus or picking up a prepared item at Safeway when the price was still around $5, she said.
Belov now often makes dishes such as Caesar salad, as well as hearty pasta salads that combine carbs with vegetables and a bit of chicken. Belov said she's a lot more efficient in the kitchen thanks to building her skills through trial and error. “Now, definitely more than before, I can kind of look in the pantry or in the freezer and be like, ‘OK, yeah, I can make a meal quickly and easily.'”
It's important to note, however, that cooking skills alone cannot solve the affordability problem, said Elaine Power. And in 2023, Food Banks Canada says food insecurity is rising with inflation and the high cost of living. So while cooking skills can better position people to feed themselves and their families as best they can in forced circumstances, “that doesn't, and can't, make up for income that is inadequate in the first place.”
【语篇解读】本是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一个现象：不断上涨的食品价格严重影响了加拿大人的晚餐供应，加上加拿大人的烹饪技能普遍下降，这使他们更难调整饮食。
1．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 1？( A )
A．Worsened. B．Interrupted.
C．Puzzled. D．Upset.
解析：词句猜测题。由下文“We are less able to cook than we were 30 or 40 years ago, and so it's much more difficult for us to adapt our diet”可知，加拿大人的烹饪技能普遍下降，这使他们更难调整饮食，由此可推出在食品价格不断上涨的背景下，他们对晚餐供应的应对能力变得更糟糕，故猜测画线词deteriorated意为“恶化”，与A项意思最为接近。故选A项。
2．What is a disadvantage of pre prepared foods？( B )
A．Failing to attract diners.
B．The loss of cooking skills.
C．Difficulties in keeping its flavors.
D．Shortage of fresh ingredients.
解析：细节理解题。由第二段可知，2010年，一份名为《提高烹饪和食物准备技能》的联邦政府报告称，加工食品和预制食品已被允许在所有人群中食用。这是同类报告中最新的一份。报告写道：“与这种许可相关的是，父母可能缺乏向儿童和青少年传授基本的、传统的烹饪和食物准备技能”。由此可知，预制食品的缺点是导致人们烹饪技能的丧失。故选B项。
3．What can we say about Annie Belov？( B )
A．She suffers a tough financial patch.
B．She ends up building her cooking skills.

(2024·云南昆明高三模拟)
Many primitive people believed that by eating an animal, they could get some of the good qualities of that animal for themselves. They thought, for example, that eating deer would make them run as fast as the deer. Some tribes (部落) even ate enemies that had shown bravery in battles.
Among civilized people it was once thought that ginger roots could improve the memory. Eggs were thought to make the voice pretty. Tomatoes also were believed to have magical powers. They were called love apples and were supposed to make people who ate them fall in love.
Even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food, some of which are very widespread.
One such idea is that fish is the best brain food. Fish is good brain food just as it is good muscle food and skin food and bone food. But no scientist has been able to prove that fish is any better for the brain than many other kinds of food.
Another such idea is that you should not drink water with meals. Scientists tell us that washing food down with water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been found to be helpful. It makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food.
Many of the ideas that have to do with mixtures of foods have no scientific foundation. A few years ago, the belief became general that orange juice and milk should never be drunk at the same meal. The reason given was that the acid in the orange juice would make the milk curdle (凝结) and become indigestible. As a matter of fact, experts confirm milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles it; in fact, the curdling of the milk is the first step in its digestion. A similar wrong idea is that fish and ice cream when eaten at the same meal form a poisonous combination.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于食物的一些普遍的错误观点。
5．Why did some tribes eat brave enemies？( A )
A．They were eager to be courageous.
B．They hated brave enemies bitterly.
C．They had to follow the local custom.
D．They were extremely lacking in food.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Many primitive people believed that by eating an animal, they could get some of the good qualities of that animal for themselves.”可知，有些部落吃勇敢的敌人是因为他们渴望变得勇敢。故选A项。
6．What might civilized people approve of？( D )
A．Consuming eggs could strengthen the bones.
B.Singers were supposed to consume fish frequently.
C.Apples could make people lose their heart to others.
D．Those suffering memory loss should eat ginger roots.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Among civilized people it was once thought that ginger roots could improve the memory.”可知，文明人也许会赞成记忆力减退的人应该吃姜根。故选D项。
7．Which statement is based on scientific basis？( C )
A．The curdling of milk can harm people's stomach.
B．Milk will be poisonous by adding orange juice in.
C．Drinking water with meals is beneficial to digesting.
D．Eating fish and ice cream together will sicken people.
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段“Scientists tell us that washing food down with water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been found to be helpful.It makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food.”可知，吃饭时喝水有利于消化是有科学依据的。故选C项。
8．What might be a suitable title of the text？( C )
A．Civilized People's Table Manners
B．Good Recipes Popular with People
C．Wrong Widespread Ideas about Food
D．Practical Thoughts in Favor of Health
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段“Even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food, some of which are very widespread.”可知，文章介绍了关于食物的一些普遍的错误观点。由此可知，短文的最佳标题为“关于食物的普遍的错误观点”。故选C项。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
(2024·陕西宝鸡高三模拟)
Rising food prices have taken a big bite out of what Canadians are able to serve up for dinner but food economists say our ability to cope has been deteriorated by our common decline in cooking skills. “We are less able to cook than we were 30 or 40 years ago, and so it's much more difficult for us to adapt our diet，” said Mike von Massow, an associate professor at the University of Guelph.
A 2010 federal government report called Improving Cooking and Food Preparation Skills, the most recent of its kind, said that all across the population, processed and pre prepared foods have been permitted. “Related to this permission is the potential lack of transference of basic, traditional cooking and food preparation skills from parents to children and adolescents，” the report reads.
Moreover, the quality of pre prepared foods in the market remains uneven, with problems related to the lack of detailed labelling on such products, as well as difficulties in logistics and distribution.
Annie Belov, a 21 year old student, has taught herself a lot about cooking since food prices started shooting up. “When the inflation (通货膨胀) wasn't as bad, I was constantly eating out，” said Belov. That might mean food on campus or picking up a prepared item at Safeway when the price was still around $5, she said.
Belov now often makes dishes such as Caesar salad, as well as hearty pasta salads that combine carbs with vegetables and a bit of chicken. Belov said she's a lot more efficient in the kitchen thanks to building her skills through trial and error. “Now, definitely more than before, I can kind of look in the pantry or in the freezer and be like, ‘OK, yeah, I can make a meal quickly and easily.'”
It's important to note, however, that cooking skills alone cannot solve the affordability problem, said Elaine Power. And in 2023, Food Banks Canada says food insecurity is rising with inflation and the high cost of living. So while cooking skills can better position people to feed themselves and their families as best they can in forced circumstances, “that doesn't, and can't, make up for income that is inadequate in the first place.”
【语篇解读】本是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一个现象：不断上涨的食品价格严重影响了加拿大人的晚餐供应，加上加拿大人的烹饪技能普遍下降，这使他们更难调整饮食。
1．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 1？( )
A．Worsened. B．Interrupted.
C．Puzzled. D．Upset.
解析：词句猜测题。由下文“We are less able to cook than we were 30 or 40 years ago, and so it's much more difficult for us to adapt our diet”可知，加拿大人的烹饪技能普遍下降，这使他们更难调整饮食，由此可推出在食品价格不断上涨的背景下，他们对晚餐供应的应对能力变得更糟糕，故猜测画线词deteriorated意为“恶化”，与A项意思最为接近。故选A项。
A
2．What is a disadvantage of pre prepared foods？( )
A．Failing to attract diners.
B．The loss of cooking skills.
C．Difficulties in keeping its flavors.
D．Shortage of fresh ingredients.
解析：细节理解题。由第二段可知，2010年，一份名为《提高烹饪和食物准备技能》的联邦政府报告称，加工食品和预制食品已被允许在所有人群中食用。这是同类报告中最新的一份。报告写道：“与这种许可相关的是，父母可能缺乏向儿童和青少年传授基本的、传统的烹饪和食物准备技能”。由此可知，预制食品的缺点是导致人们烹饪技能的丧失。故选B项。
B
3．What can we say about Annie Belov？( )
A．She suffers a tough financial patch.
B．She ends up building her cooking skills.
C．She used to dine out at a restaurant.
D．She receives cooking education in schools.
解析：推理判断题。由第五段中“Belov now often makes dishes such as Caesar salad, as well as hearty pasta salads that combine carbs with vegetables and a bit of chicken.Belov said she's a lot more efficient in the kitchen thanks to building her skills through trial and error.”可知，Belov现在经常做菜，烹饪技能也得到了提高。故选B项。
B
4．What is the key to solving the affordability problem according to Elaine Power？( )
A．Lower cost of living.
B．More cooking at home.
C．Food security status.
D．Increased income.
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段“So while cooking skills can better position people to feed themselves and their families as best they can in forced circumstances, ‘that doesn't, and can't, make up for income that is inadequate in the first place.’”可知，Elaine Power认为仅靠烹饪技能并不能解决负担能力问题，关键还是要靠增加收入。故选D项。

(2024·云南昆明高三模拟)
Many primitive people believed that by eating an animal, they could get some of the good qualities of that animal for themselves. They thought, for example, that eating deer would make them run as fast as the deer. Some tribes (部落) even ate enemies that had shown bravery in battles.
Among civilized people it was once thought that ginger roots could improve the memory. Eggs were thought to make the voice pretty. Tomatoes also were believed to have magical powers. They were called love apples and were supposed to make people who ate them fall in love.
Even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food, some of which are very widespread.
One such idea is that fish is the best brain food. Fish is good brain food just as it is good muscle food and skin food and bone food. But no scientist has been able to prove that fish is any better for the brain than many other kinds of food.
Another such idea is that you should not drink water with meals. Scientists tell us that washing food down with water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been found to be helpful. It makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food.
Many of the ideas that have to do with mixtures of foods have no scientific foundation. A few years ago, the belief became general that orange juice and milk should never be drunk at the same meal. The reason given was that the acid in the orange juice would make the milk curdle (凝结) and become indigestible. As a matter of fact, experts confirm milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles it; in fact, the curdling of the milk is the first step in its digestion. A similar wrong idea is that fish and ice cream when eaten at the same meal form a poisonous combination.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于食物的一些普遍的错误观点。

D
7．Which statement is based on scientific basis？( )
A．The curdling of milk can harm people's stomach.
B．Milk will be poisonous by adding orange juice in.
C．Drinking water with meals is beneficial to digesting.

解析：细节理解题。根据第五段“Scientists tell us that washing food down with water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been found to be helpful.It makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food.”可知，吃饭时喝水有利于消化是有科学依据的。故选C项。
C
8．What might be a suitable title of the text？( )
A．Civilized People's Table Manners
B．Good Recipes Popular with People
C．Wrong Widespread Ideas about Food
D．Practical Thoughts in Favor of Health
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段“Even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food, some of which are very widespread.”可知，文章介绍了关于食物的一些普遍的错误观点。由此可知，短文的最佳标题为“关于食物的普遍的错误观点”。故选C项。
