UNIT 3 CONSERVATION(二)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2025浙江金华义乌三模)
Italian cuisine may be one of the most recognized and loved in the world—often imagined as a collection of ancient recipes and local traditions preserved by skillful grandmothers over centuries.But now,a food historian is exposing common myths and false stories,arguing that Italian cuisine as we know it is barely a few decades old.
In his latest book,Italian Cuisine Doesn’t Exist,Grandi claims that the idea that many beloved recipes and products,such as cheeses or cured meats,have hundreds of years of history is pure fantasy.Most dishes have a shorter history than most people imagine.
Migration is what made Italian cuisine what it is today.In the 19th and 20th centuries,millions of people left Italy,a poverty-stricken country with limited dietary options,emigrating to South America,North America and European countries.The Italians who landed on New York’s Ellis Island left hunger and misery behind.And it was in the “new world”,Grandi argues,that Italian immigrants found the wealth and ingredients to create the recipes that eventually popularized Italian food worldwide.
However,many Italians are not familiar with this history.They might imagine that their beloved recipes were born in Italy,passed down,unchanged,from generation to generation,and eventually exported abroad by Italian migrants.
Pizza is the most famous example of this.Born as a cheap street food in Naples in the 19th century,it was synonymous with poverty and dirt.It was in America,says Grandi,that pizza became “red”.While fresh tomatoes were among the original toppings,Italian immigrants to the US popularized pizza prepared with tomato sauce,a product that industrialization made easy to access and store.And it was in the US that pizzerias really started to take off.Scholars call this process “the pizza effect”:when a product leaves its place of origin,gets profoundly transformed,and then returns to its place of origin to be fully embraced in a completely different form.
1.What does Grandi challenge in his book
A.The role of Italian chefs.
B.The history of Italian cuisine.
C.The recipe for cured meats.
D.The process of cheese production.
2.How did Italian immigrants contribute to the spread of Italian cuisine
A.By running Italian restaurants worldwide.
B.By promoting food industrialization in Italy.
C.By creating new recipes with local ingredients.
D.By preserving ancient recipes through generations.
3.What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean
A.Equaled. B.Removed.
C.Caused. D.Exposed.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A.The Migration of Italian Cuisine
B.The Origin of the Pizza Effect
C.The Secret of Traditional Recipes
D.The Truths Behind Italian Cuisine

The world is drowning in plastic,and one can hardly buy anything in the supermarket without encountering wrapping and other packaging made of this oil-based polluter that accounts for a major proportion of waste in landfills.
Now,scientists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed an edible,transparent and biodegradable material with considerable potential for use as food packaging.
In a recent paper,published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture,the team members have turned their attention to bacterial cellulose(BC)—an organic compound derived from certain types of bacteria that has gained attention as a sustainable,easily available and harmless solution to the pervasive use of plastics.
Unlike the cellulose found in the cell walls of plants,BC can be produced through microbial fermentation(发酵) that avoids the need for harvesting trees or crops.Prof.To Ngai from the chemistry department noted that “as a result,this production method does not contribute to deforestation or habitat loss,making BC a more sustainable and environmentally friendly material alternative to plant cellulose”.
Ngai noted that this approach has high potential for scale-up.It doesn’t need specific conditions like chemical reactions,but rather a simple and practical method with mixing and coating.“This approach offers a promising solution to the challenge of developing sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging materials that can replace single-use plastics on a large scale,” he added.
The researchers are now exploring the directions for future research,hoping to increase the versatility(多功能性) of modified BC films(薄膜),making them suitable for a wider range of applications.They hope that their study will help reduce the excessive use of single-use plastics that can persist for hundreds of years after only a few days of being displayed on supermarket shelves.
5.What can be concluded about bacterial cellulose
A.It is mainly sourced from plants like trees and crops.
B.Its production does not cause forest or wildlife destruction.
C.It has been widely used as the primary alternative to plastics.
D.Its fermentation process is more complicated than plant cellulose.
6.What makes this new method easily scalable
A.It doesn’t require expensive materials.
B.It depends on specialized reaction settings.
C.It involves basic and workable operations.
D.It uses precise mixing and coating techniques.
7.What’s Ngai’s attitude toward the research
A.Unclear. B.Cautious.
C.Doubtful. D.Optimistic.
8.What will the future study focus on
A.Improving the strength of BC films.
B.Reducing the cost of BC film production.
C.Expanding the uses of BC films.
D.Replacing supermarket display plastics.
