第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分)
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。
A
Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things. How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. People eating alone eat least. People eating with another person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. Eating with overweight friends You’ll eat more. Is your waitress overweight You’ll eat more. A wide variety of food You’ll eat more.
Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate, they’d say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my entire life.”
Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. So Grandma’ s cookies always taste better than other cookies. “Good food” even has a “health halo (光环) effect”. If we’re eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories than the cheese cake alone. That’s perhaps also why eating organic food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality (道德) to excuse your immoral behavior.
Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids who don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.
1. What is mentioned as a cause of overeating
A. Suffering from great loneliness. B. Eating with many friends.
C. Being treated to high quality food. D. Being served by a helpful waitress.
2. According to the passage, an annoying person may be one who ________.
A. competes with others in making cookies B. is crazy about the quality of plates
C. finds any excuse for eating more D. teaches people to stick to morality
3. According to the passage, people are more likely to make a bad judgment when ________.
A. they have low blood sugar B. they know little about food
C. they don’t feel hungry D. they aren’t overweight
B
Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.
In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under 5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11.
"We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains. "I pay 5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. "
The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.

C. She dislikes working early in the morning. D. She has had a light budget for her family.
5. How does Matt Tebbutt help Susanna
A. He buys cooking materials for her. B. He prepares food for her kids.

C. Making yourself a Perfect Chef D. Cooking Well for Less
C
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
8. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The families get together for it. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
10. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _________.
A. neutral(中立的) B. critical(批评的) C. acceptable D. doubtful
11. What lesson can we learn from the story
A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D
A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK.
The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.
The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.
The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.
This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死记硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.
Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and
designed to inspire students’ interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply ‘transplanted’ into another place.”
Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel Prize Winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”
12. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens
A To test the intelligence of the UK teens.
B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.
C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.
D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.
13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph
A. Extremely strict. B. Quite friendly.
C. Rather cold. D. Very attractive.
14. What can we learn from the passage
A. Chinese teaching methods are totally resisted.
B. People’s attitudes to Chinese teachers differ.
C. Chinese teachers should emphasize a lot of knowledge about words and characters.
D. Chinese methods encourage students’ independent thinking.
15. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ________.
A. fit all countries
B. could be improved
C. are the best in the world
D. are not as good as British methods

Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel Prize Winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”
12. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens
A To test the intelligence of the UK teens.
B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.
C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.
D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.
13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph
A. Extremely strict. B. Quite friendly.
C. Rather cold. D. Very attractive.
14. What can we learn from the passage
A. Chinese teaching methods are totally resisted.
B. People’s attitudes to Chinese teachers differ.
C. Chinese teachers should emphasize a lot of knowledge about words and characters.
D. Chinese methods encourage students’ independent thinking.
15. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ________.
A. fit all countries
B. could be improved
C. are the best in the world
D. are not as good as British methods

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分)
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。
A
Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things. How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. People eating alone eat least. People eating with another person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. Eating with overweight friends You’ll eat more. Is your waitress overweight You’ll eat more. A wide variety of food You’ll eat more.
Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate, they’d say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my entire life.”
Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. So Grandma’ s cookies always taste better than other cookies. “Good food” even has a “health halo (光环) effect”. If we’re eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories than the cheese cake alone. That’s perhaps also why eating organic food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality (道德) to excuse your immoral behavior.
Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids who don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.
1. What is mentioned as a cause of overeating
A. Suffering from great loneliness. B. Eating with many friends.
C. Being treated to high quality food. D. Being served by a helpful waitress.
2. According to the passage, an annoying person may be one who ________.
A. competes with others in making cookies B. is crazy about the quality of plates
C. finds any excuse for eating more D. teaches people to stick to morality
3. According to the passage, people are more likely to make a bad judgment when ________.
A. they have low blood sugar B. they know little about food
C. they don’t feel hungry D. they aren’t overweight
B
Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.
In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under 5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11.
"We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains. "I pay 5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. "
The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.
4. What do we know about Susanna Reid
A. She enjoys embarrassing her guests. B. She has started a new programme.
C. She dislikes working early in the morning. D. She has had a light budget for her family.
5. How does Matt Tebbutt help Susanna
A. He buys cooking materials for her. B. He prepares food for her kids.
C. He assists her in cooking matters. D. He invites guest families for her.
6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Provide some advice for the readers.
C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Keeping Fit by Eating Smart B. Balancing Our Daily Diet
C. Making yourself a Perfect Chef D. Cooking Well for Less
C
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
8. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The families get together for it. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
10. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _________.
A. neutral(中立的) B. critical(批评的) C. acceptable D. doubtful
11. What lesson can we learn from the story
A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D
A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK.
The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.
The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.
The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.
This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死记硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.
Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and
designed to inspire students’ interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply ‘transplanted’ into another place.”
Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel Prize Winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”
12. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens
A To test the intelligence of the UK teens.
B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.
C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.
D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.
13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph
A. Extremely strict. B. Quite friendly.
C. Rather cold. D. Very attractive.

A. Chinese teaching methods are totally resisted.
B. People’s attitudes to Chinese teachers differ.
C. Chinese teachers should emphasize a lot of knowledge about words and characters.
D. Chinese methods encourage students’ independent thinking.
15. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ________.
A. fit all countries
B. could be improved
C. are the best in the world
D. are not as good as British methods

Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.
In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under 5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11.
"We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains. "I pay 5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. "
The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
8. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The families get together for it. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
10. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _________.
A. neutral(中立的) B. critical(批评的) C. acceptable D. doubtful
11. What lesson can we learn from the story
A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.

A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK.
The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.
The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.
The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.
This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死记硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.
Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and
designed to inspire students’ interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply ‘transplanted’ into another place.”
Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel Prize Winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”
12. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens
A To test the intelligence of the UK teens.
B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.
C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.
D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.
13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph
A. Extremely strict. B. Quite friendly.
C. Rather cold. D. Very attractive.
14. What can we learn from the passage
A. Chinese teaching methods are totally resisted.
B. People’s attitudes to Chinese teachers differ.
C. Chinese teachers should emphasize a lot of knowledge about words and characters.
D. Chinese methods encourage students’ independent thinking.
15. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ________.
A. fit all countries
B. could be improved
C. are the best in the world
D. are not as good as British methods
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
