A
We love food and drink. We love to celebrate the good stuff and criticize the bad. This is our take on the top three food cultures and destinations. It’s time to find out once and for all, which cuisine is king as you plan where you’ll travel next:
No. 3 France
You can spend an entire two-week vacation exploring combinations of wines and cheeses around the country.
Yum
Escargot — credit the French for turning garden-dwelling pests into a delicacy.
Massive respect for making them taste amazing too.
Baguette —the first and last thing that you’ll want to eat in France. The first bite is superb; the last will be full of longing.
Dumb
Foie gras — it tastes like 10,000 ducks roasted in butter then reduced to a velvet pudding.
No. 2 China
The people who greet each other with “Have you eaten yet?” are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world.
The Chinese almost cook and sell anything, and they also make it taste great.
Yum
Sweet and sour pork — a guilty pleasure that has taken on different forms.
Dim sum — a grand tradition from Hong Kong to New York. The best to start a day as breakfast.
Dumb
Shark’s fin soup — calling for Chinese restaurants to ban the dish has been a goal of green campaigners in recent years.
No. 1 Italy
Italian food has enslaved taste-buds around the globe for centuries, with its tomato sauces, and those clever things they do with wheat flour and desserts .
Yum
Pizza —simple yet satisfying dish. Staple diet of bachelors and college students. Coffee — cappuccino is for breakfast? Forget it. We want it all day and all night.
Dumb
Buffalo mozzarella —those balls of water b uffalo milk. The flavor’s so subtle you have to imagine it.
1. Which food would you not try as an environmentalist?
A. Shark’s fin soup
B. Foie gras
C. Sweet and sour pork
D. Escargot
2. Which will be the best choice for hungry students in Italy?

根据No. 2 China部分中“Shark’s fin soup — calling for Chinese restaurants to ban the dish has been a goal of green campaigners in recent years.(鱼翅汤——呼吁中国餐馆禁止这道菜一直是环保人士近年来的目标)”可知，作为一个环保主义者，你不会尝试鱼翅汤。

故选A。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。

B
That was how the adventures began. It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to the end of, and it was full of unexpected places. The first few doors they tried led only into spare bedrooms, as everyone had expected that they would; but soon they came to a very long room full of pictures; and after that was a room all hung with green, with a harp in one corner; and then a kind of little upstairs hall and a door that led out on to a balcony. And shortly after that they looked into a room that was quite empty except for one big wardrobe, the sort that has a looking-glass in the door.
“Nothing there!” Everybody rushed out but Lucy stayed because she thought it would be worthwhile trying the door of the wardrobe, even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked. To her surprise, it opened quite easily, and two mothballs dropped out.
Looking into the inside, she saw several coats hanging up---mostly long fur coats. There was nothing Lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur. She immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against them, leaving the door open, of course, because she knew that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe... She took a step further in---then two or three steps, always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers. But she could not feel it.
“This must be a simply vast wardrobe!” thought Lucy, going still further in. Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet. “Is that more mothball?” she thought, stooping dow n to feel it with her hand. But instead of feeling the hard, smooth wood, she felt something soft and powdery and extremely cold. “This is very queer,” she said, and went on a step or two further.
... And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her; ... A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The discovery of mysterious rooms.
B. The complex structures of the house.
C. The unexpected search of the house.
D. The adventurous exploration in a house.
5. Why didn’t Lucy go out of the room?
A. She wanted to explore the wardrobe.
B. She found her favourite fur coats.
C. She was attracted by mothballs.
D. She liked the smell of the room.
6. What can we infer about Lucy from the third paragraph?
A. Careful and cowardly.
B. Cautious and curious.
C. Foolish but brave.
D. Adventurous but casual.
7. What does the underlined word “queer” mean?
A. Terrifying.
B. Empty.
C. Strange.
D. Impressive.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段“That was how the adventures began. It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to the end of, and it was full of unexpected places. The first few doors they tried led only into spare bedrooms, as everyone had expected that they would; but soon they came to a very long room full of pictures; and after that was a room all hung with green, with a harp in one corner; and then a kind of little upstairs hall and a door that led out on to a balcony. And shortly after that they looked into a room that was quite empty except for one big wardrobe, the sort that has a looking-glass in the door. (一场奇遇就是这样开始的。

这所住宅，你似乎永远也走不到它的尽头，里边全都是意科不到的地方。

他们先试着打开了几扇门，原来是几间无人居住的空房间，这是大家事先预料到的。

接下来，他们进了一个非常狭长的房间，墙上挂满了画，他们还在屋内发现了一副盔甲。

然后，他们又进了另一个房间，里面全是绿色的装饰物，只是在角落里放着一把竖琴。

这以后，来到楼上的一间小厅，小厅有一扇门通向外面的阳台。

不久以后，他们走进另一个空荡荡的房间，里面放着一只很大很大的衣橱，橱门上镶着镜子)”可知，第一段主要描写了房子的复杂结构。

故选B。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段“Everybody rushed out but Lucy stayed because she thought it would be worthwhile trying the door of the wardrobe, even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked.( 大家都跟着走出去了，只有露茜一个人留在后面，她想试试把那个大衣橱打开，尽管她儿乎肯定衣橱的门是锁着的)”可知，露西没有走出房间是因为她想探索那个大衣橱。

故选A。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段的“of course, because she knew that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe... She took a step further in---then two or three steps, always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers. But she could not feel it. ( 当然喽，她让橱门开在那儿，因为她知道，一个人把自己关在衣橱里是非常愚蠢的。

她向前又跨了一步，接着两步，三步，想用手指尖摸到木头的橱壁，但她始终没能摸到)”可推断，露西是谨慎并好奇的。

故选B。

【7题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据上文“Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet. “Is that more mothball?” she thought, stooping down to feel it with her hand. But instead of feeling the hard, smooth wood, she felt something soft and powdery and extremely cold.( 这时，她感到脚底下有什么东西在吱嘎吱哽作响。

我难道踩到了樟脑丸？她想，一边蹲下身来用手去摸。

然而她摸到的不是坚硬而又光滑的木头橱底，而是一样柔软的、粉末似的、冰冷的东西)”可知，露西在衣橱里摸到的不是橱子底，而是柔软的，粉末状的，冰冷的东西，因此推断她会感到奇怪，故划线词词义与C项（奇怪的）意思相近。

故选C。

C
Stories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire at night. They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?
To revive literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers（分发机）in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.
Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month, public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles International Airport.
“Everything old is new again,” said Andrew Nurkin, director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity.”
Here’s how a dispenser works. It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed.
The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by wr iters whose works have been evaluated by Short Edition’s judges, and transmitted over a mobile network.
Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children’s fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.
Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “The idea is to make people happy,” said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition. “There is too much unhappiness today. ”
8. What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?
A. They are easily read.
B. They are short in form.
C They can be bought from booths.
D. They can be found in magazines.
9. Which paragraph shows the popularity of story dispensers in America?
A. Paragraph 3.
B. Paragraph 5.
C. Paragraph 6.
D. Paragraph 7.
10. Why were the story dispensers set up according to Andrew Nurkin?
A. To introduce French literature.
B To get rid of smartphone addiction.
C. To make people have access to literature.
D. To reduce the financial stress of libraries.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Everything Old Is New
B. Online Reading: a Virtual Tour
C. Short Edition Is Getting Popular
D. Taste of Literature, at the Push of a Button
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D

Do you think you’re smarter than your parent s and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores---on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?
Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies
being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers didn’t do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.
12. The Flynn effect is ______.
A. not connected to our experiences
B. unknown in some parts of the world
C. an increase in IQ test scores over time
D. used to measure people’s intelligence
13. According to the article, newer educational techniques include __ .
A. improving test scores
B. exposure to many tests
C. memorizing information
D. children finding things out themselves
14. Why does the author mention computer games?
A. To encourage the reader to do more exercise instead of playing games.
B. To explain why more and more young people have poor vocabularies.
C. To give an example of technology improving our visual intelligence.
D. To show the fact that young people are not getting more intelligent.
15. Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?
A. People today are taking easier tests.
B. People today have more visual intelligence.
C. People today have fewer problems to solve.
D. People today are more intelligent in every way.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Food waste is a huge problem, especially in grocery stores. Americans waste about 40% of their food every year. _____16_____There are several factors that contributed to this colossal amount of waste.
Misleading labels
There is a big difference between a sell-by date and a use-by date. When a sell-by date passes, it doesn’t mean that the food is unsafe to eat. However, many people still think that they have to toss it. Grocery stores sometimes throw away food simply because it’s getting close to the sell-by date.___17___ The Daily Table is a non-profit grocery store in Massachusetts that collects food from other grocers that is close to its sell-by date and sells it at a deeply-discounted price. This both provides food to people at low costs and keeps it from being thrown away.
___18___Denmark has a volunteer-run food waste supermarket and is planning on opening two more. The Real Junk Food Project in the UK just opened its first food waste supermarket, where items have no set prices. Shoppers are allowed to pay what they can for the food.
Imperfect produce
___19___ Yet in grocery stores most produce looks identical. Some food in grocery stores gets thrown out because it’s imperfect, or it doesn’t “look good.” The food is still fine to eat, but often ends up in the trash. The non-profit End Food Waste has a list of retailers all over America that sell imperfect produce. They also have a petition that you can sign which asks major grocery stores to consider selling imperfect food.
There are also subscription services where you can get “ugly” produce delivered to your door. Imperfect Produce and Hungry Harvest are both organizations working to recover food that would otherwise be thrown away.____20____
Consumer action
Not all the blame for food waste belongs to grocery stores. As consumers we can help to influence the type of food that stores sell. By buying food in less excess, food that is close to the sell-by date, and imperfect produce, we can help reduce food waste.
A. This idea has been gaining ground in Europe, as well.
B. Produce rarely grows in a way every plant looks the exact same.
C. There are several companies working to recover out-of-date food.
D. In 2008, 43 billion pounds of perfectly good food were thrown out of grocery stores.
E. This is a great way to reduce the waste of short-lived foods, which food banks often can’t accept.
F. A new law passed by the Senate makes it illegal for supermarkets to throw away or destroy unsold food.
G. Just one quarter of all wasted food could feed the 795 million people around the world who suffer from hunger. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. E
【解析】
本文是说明文。

文章主要分析了造成食物浪费这个现象的原因。

【16题详解】
上文“Food waste is a huge problem, especially in grocery stores. Americans waste about 40% of their food every year.（食物浪费是个大问题，尤其是在杂货店，美国人每年浪费大约40%的食物）”，下文“There are several factors that contributed to this colossal amount of waste.（有几个因素导致了如此巨大的浪费）”，可知上文以及设空处应是对食物浪费现象的说明，下文是对上文现象原因分析的引入。

D项“In 2008, 43 billion pounds of perfectly good food were thrown out of grocery stores.（在2008年，430亿磅完好的食物被扔出杂货店）”与上文及下文一致，故选D。

【17题详解】
下文“The Daily Table is a non-profit grocery store in Massachusetts that collects food from other grocers that is close to its sell-by date and sells it at a deeply-discounted price. This both provides food to people at low costs and keeps it from being thrown away.（Daily Table是Massachusetts一家非营利性食品杂货店，它从其他食品杂货商那里收集接近保质期的食品，然后以很低的价格出售。

这既能以低成本为人们提供食物，又能防止食物被扔掉）”说明Daily Table食品杂货店回收接近保质期的食品。

由此可知上文设空处应是讲“有几家公司致力于回收接近过期食品”，下文是对设空处的举例。

C项中“companies”“recover out-of-date food”与下文一致，故选C。

【18题详解】
下文“Denmark has a volunteer-run food waste supermarket and is planning on opening two more. The Real Junk Food Project in the UK just opened its first food waste supermarket, where items have no set prices. Shoppers are allowed to pay what they can for the food.（丹麦有一家志愿者经营的食物浪费超市，并计划再开两家。

英国“The Real Junk Food Project”刚刚开设了第一家食物浪费超市，那里的商品没有固定的价格。

购物者可以尽其所能购买食物）”可知本段主要讲欧洲也运用了上文第二段回收收集接近保质期的食物的做法。

设空处位于段首，具有统领下文的作用。

A项“This idea has been gaining ground in Europe, as well.（这种想法在欧洲也得到了认可）”与下文一致，故选A。

【19题详解】
下文“Yet in grocery stores most produce looks identical. Some food in grocery stores gets thrown out because it’s imperfect, or it doesn’t “look good.” The food is still fine to eat, but often ends up in the trash. The non-profit End
Food Waste has a list of retailers all over America that sell imperfect produce. They also have a petition that you can sign which asks major grocery stores to consider selling imperfect food.（然而在杂货店里，大多数产品看起来都一样。

杂货店里的一些食物因为不完美或者看起来不好而被扔掉，其实还是可以吃的，但经常被扔进垃圾桶。

非营利性的食物浪费处理机构，列出了全美销售不完美产品的零售商名单。

他们还有一份请愿书，你可以在上面签名，要求主要的杂货店考虑出售不完美的食物）”，可知下文与设空处应是转折关系。

B项“Produce rarely grows in a way every plant looks the exact same.（农产品的生长方式很少是完全一样的）”与下文一致，故选B。

【20题详解】
上文“There are also subscription services where you can get “ugly” produce delivered to your door. Imperfect Produce and Hungry Harvest are both organizations working to recover food that would otherwise be thrown away.（还有订购服务，你可以把“丑陋”的东西送到你家门口。

Imperfect Produce和Hungry Harvest都是致力于回收本来会被扔掉的食物的组织）”，设空处位于段尾，应是对上文进行总结。

E项“This is a great way to reduce the waste of short-lived foods, which food banks often can’t accept.（这是减少食物短期浪费的好方法，而这种浪费食物救济中心通常不能接受）”对上文进行总结，与上文一致，故选E。
