There it was.A test of willpower.I was on a special diet with foods carefully selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value.A piece of cheese cake was not a good choice.So here was my dilemma:Should I not eat the cheese cake,feel dissatisfied and take my disappointment out on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym?Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories?
The latter seemed like a win-win solution.Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake,but I’d get an exercise session(训练时段).And then it hit me:a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive.I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefully walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a small fork.I put on my exercise outfit(全套服装) and went downstairs.
The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan:I would run up and down the stairs and then back up again.My reward:one small bite of the cheese cake.If I wanted another,I’d have to run down and up and down and up again.Off I went.Ah,creamy
vanilla(香草) goodness without guilt.I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted(冲刺) through another stair climbing run.
Admittedly,it was harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over-breathing.I placed a bottle of water next to the cake.Down and up and down and up again.When I struggled over to the cheese cake,my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead.I didn’t want the cake any more.I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from the cheese cake.I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time.
My plan worked.Now,any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favourite,I remembered my stairs trick.
24.What can we infer about the author from paragraph 1?
A.She had weak willpower.
B.She was bad-tempered and very critical.
C.She needed assistance in making the choice.
D.She hesitated over eating something against her diet.
25.What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Reason.
B.Hesitation.
C.Replacement.
panion.
26.What do we learn about the author’s plan?
A.It involved much energy consumption(消耗).
B.It rid the cake of the pleasant taste.
C.It changed the author’s preference for food.
D.It was tiring and caused suffering.
27.What may be the best title for the passage?
A.A costly dilemma
B.An evil cheese cake
C.A trick that worked
D.A sweaty experience
C
Public Health England (PHE) is targeting pizzas,ready meals,ready meat and takeaways.The government has also required the food industry to start using healthier foods and encourage the public to choose lower-calorie foods.
It is all part of an effort to decrease calorie intake.The aim will point to 13 different food groups.If action is not taken,PHE said,it would be prepared to ask the government to pass laws.
PHE would be strictly monitoring progress by looking at which products people were buying and would be prepared to punish companies which do not take their duties.The government is also organizing a program encouraging adults to consume (消耗) 400 calories at breakfast and 600 calories each at lunch and dinner.At present,adults consume between 200 and 300 calories more than they should each day.PHE chief nutritionist Dr.Alison Tedstone said the 400-600-600 tip would make it easier for people to make healthier choices.
How many calories should we eat?It is suggested that women eat no more than 2,000 calories a day,while men should limit their intake to 2,500 calories.For children,it depends on age.A
four-year-old should consume no more than 1,300 calories,while for teens aged 17 and 18,it is about 3,000 calories,but overweight children are eating up to 500 calories more than that.
Prof Russell Viner,President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health,said it was a necessary move.He said,“Over the past 40 years,there has been a slow growth in food sizes,with pizzas and hamburgers simply much bigger than they were in our parents’ time.” The convenience of fast food at po cket money prices and the advertisement of unhealthy foods and drinks to children add to the problem.
28.What does the underlined word “decrease” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Encourage.
B.Cut.
C.Contain.
D.Balance.
29.What will happen to a company producing high-calorie foods?
A.It will be punished by PHE.
B.It will have to pay extra money.
C.It will be forced to stop producing foods.
D.It will be asked to throw away all the foods.
30.Who should take in the most calories according to paragraph 4?
A.Adult men.
B.Adult women.
C.Children aged 4.
D.Teens aged 18.
31.What can be learned from Prof Russell Viner’s words?
A.The calorie intake needs to be controlled.
B.The growth of food sizes meets people’s need.
C.The fast food should be chosen for its convenience.
D.The problem about higher-calorie foods will be solved.
D
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level,we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale,traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an emigrants bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes.However,the food does not remain ee.Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available,so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally,immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.Therefore,they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should not only embrace our heritage(传统) through our traditional food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs,and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture,and it should be treated as such.
32.What’s the function of food mentioned in the article?
A.To help motivate homesickness.
B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history.
D.To show a community’s superiority.
33.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The specific traditional food.
B.The national culture.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old-fashioned taste.
34.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To make the dishes popular among customers.
D.To present their own food culture in a new way.
35.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A.Negative.
B.Balanced.
C.Unfair.
D.Unchangeable. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many countries have traditional dishes made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way. 36 ,and when tourists
visit,these are the foods they want to try.But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas?
Traditionalingredients
Typical recipes are usually made with native plants and animal products.For example,Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot,wet areas.In contrast,wheat grows well in drier areas,like the Middle East,where bread is the common staple(主要的) food. 37 ,whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals.
Foodpreservation
Local cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage.In warm weather,meat and fish can go bad quickly,so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later.
38 .For that reason,modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.
Cookingtechniques
39 .In China,people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water.In Morocco,people cook
traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine,while in parts of India,people use a large oven,called a tandoor.And some local dishes aren’t cooked at all.
Imported(进口的)ingredients
Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally come from another place. 40 ,while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes.However,all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.But now they are common around the world.
A.Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areas
B.There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost
C.Many different cooking techniques are used around the world
D.For example,Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers
E.Nowadays,we can buy food products from all around the world
F.These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its culture
G.In Norway,the Vikings used to “cure” meat and fish by smoking them over a fire

When you open a 44 of fruit or vegetables at home,you have fresh-packed nutritional produce at hand,with no man-made ingredients and no preservatives(防腐剂).And all the work has been 45 for you:the slicing,the peeling,even the cooking.Canned fruit and vegetables leave you the 46 to be creative.And with the variety of fruit and vegetables available these days,you can serve different combinations,create new dishes,and 47 new tastes to old recipes.Canned foods are good as well.A co-sponsored study by the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Nutritional Foods Association shows canned vegetables to be just
as 48 as fresh or frozen.Because canned vegetables are 49 within hours of being packed,they generally retain(保留) 70 to 90 percent of their nutrients.
Fruit and vegetables canning is as 50 as your grandmother “stores up” tomatoes and other things from the garden.Fresh produce is taken from the field at just the right time, 51 to the cannery(罐头食品厂) where it is checked,washed,sealed,and sterilized(灭菌).All this generally 52 in less than 24 hours to 53 the best quality and nutritional value without the need for any preservatives.
Use the liquids that vegetables are 54 in as a substitute for water in recipes to get that last drop of good nutrition.
Most major brands of canned fruit and vegetables include the nutrient 55 and ingredient statements on their labels.This is especially important to those on calorie-conscious or restricted diets.

Last week,I watched an old couple when they walked through a local thrift(节俭) store.I had just dropped off a bag of clothes and a few other items I no longer wanted.When I got the opportunity,I stopped by just to look through the old records.Yes,I called them records,not CDs or MP3s,simply records,those round plastic things from ancient times that had music recorded on them.
Anyway,this couple moved slowly around me in search of items they had on a list they held tight in hand.They didn’t say much,but occasio nally talked with the other and picked an item up.“No,it’s not suitable for her and she dislikes it,” one would say and move on.
My curiosity always got the best of me until I satisfied it by asking.“Can I help you find something?” I asked.They
stopped,loo king at me.Then the man said,“We are looking for old things that look new.Look,every new year in the past we tried to begin the year with new things.It was a goal to surround ourselves with things fresh and new so that we had new directions,new hopes and dreams for the year ahead.More importantly,we can give some gifts to Eva.”
“Eva?Who is she?” I asked.“She is a lovely 10-year-old girl we adopted three years ago.Her parents died in a serious traffic accident.She always wants to be a singer,” the man replie d.When hearing those words,I felt sad and said,“I’m sorry for the girl.Can you tell me how does your search work out?” The lady sighed and said,“It took a long time for us to find a special gift,but we discovered it was in vain(徒劳的).”
I knew it was difficult for the couple to solve the problem,so I decided to take action immediately.I said to the couple,“I can do you a favour.Please wait here for me.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

I turned around and ran out of the store.
When I returned to the store,the couple sat near the counter(柜台).
