AThanks to the vast territory and huge population of China, different living habits with geographical features have been an ever-lasting topic among Chinese.

However, one may be looked down upon if he does this in the north. “ Welo ve to store up on food. B uying 25 kilograms of Chinese cabbage is normal, ” said a netizen from the north.Besides, in the south, it is said that winter melon （冬瓜） is always sold in slices, “ Ones lice is enough for two meals! ” one said. While int he north, it is simply not possible. “ Of course wae wbuhyo le one, otherwise nobody is willing to buy the other half, ” said a northern Chinese.Experts say that the difference is due to the varied climate. Food can be stored for a relatively long time in the north as it is usually cold and dry there. However, the comparatively hot and humid weather in the south forces southern Chinese to buy just enough for one meal or one day, otherwise it might go bad.Besides obvious ways of food shopping, other north-south differences in China include the flavor of tofu （豆腐）（northerners prefer a salty taste while southerners like it sweet）, and the way to give directions （northerners prefer say “ go east/west, ” but southerners usually say “ go left/right ” ）.21.In what case is a buyer looked down upon by a northerner?A.When he buys a whole winter melon.B.When he buys too small an amount of food.C.When he buys a bag of a Chinese cabbage at a time.D.When he buys food just enough for one or two persons.22.Why do experts think there is much difference in how much food to buy between northerners and southerners?A.Due to different habits.B.

No one could have known it would end in tragedy.When the group arrived at the starting point for the hike, they found out there was a problem with their permit. To solve it, the five boys and three leaders walk back up to the ranger station （护林站）— only to find out it was closed.When the boys got moving, they 'adlr eady drunk most of their water. In the burning sun, temperatures reached 115 °F. Even the leaders were having trouble walking on. But the group finally made it down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Heat evil was occurring. ＂ My son made it about 100 yards from the river and then dropped, ＂ says his father, Robin. Two boys of them raced to the river to get him water.When the boys arrived, the last rafting （筏运） trip of the day was passing by. As luck would have it, among the waiting riders were a few doctors. They rushed to give David first aid before going for help. But it was too late. David passed away from the heat evil.It ' s been 21 years since the boy ' s death, andld hsi kain sgt rsotnilgl h moemory of David for his family. The summerbefore the tragedy, his father had a long time to devote to his family. David and his dad spent the summer hiking all over the High Uintas, where snow-topped peaks reflect tower over glacier （冰川）-formed lakes.The photo Robin took of Christmas Meadows there won the Reader s' Digest ＂From Sea to Shining Sea ＂photo contest and appeared on the July 2017 magazine cover. To Robin, it isn 'juts t a fascinating landscape — it 'al s o a powerful reminder of his late son.24.How many people does David 's group consist of?A.11B. 10C. 9D. 825.What does the sentence ＂ Even the leaders were having trouble walking on. ＂ in Paragraph 3 suggest?A.The leaders were taller and older.B.The leaders covered shorter distance.C.The leaders were healthier and stronger.D.

I can 'fitn d blue food — I can 'fitn d the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food? ＂Well, Carlin almost has it right — there 'nost no blue food, but there 'cesr tainl y not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries — like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes — is found in nature. But it isn ' t a hot color for food. Peopmle tdoo pnrefer blue ' t sefood. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spence— an experimental psychologist from Oxford University —points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching — green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn ' t do much harm to health. A lot of research showsisc athl aptr osbolmeme sp hyof kids are related to food dyes — while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table.28.What ' s the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To introduce a TV show.C. To state the author ' s opinion.D. To explain why people dislike blue.29.What can we learn about blueberries from Paragraph 2?A. The blue in blueberries is found natural.B.Blueberries are still blue when processed.C.Most people don ' t eat blueberries owing to the color.D.People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.30.What does the author mean by saying eating sometimes begins with our eyes?A. People prefer red-colored food to green food.B.We should examine food carefully before eating.C.Our taste experience can be influenced by color.D.Red-colored foods look sweeter than they actually are.第二节（共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother's idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“ None.”“ Where did you go?”“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“ What did you do?”“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“ You just stood there?”“ Didn't sell a single one.”“ My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I've decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I'd changed my mind. I didn't want to make a success in the magazine business.“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you'll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.21.Why did the boy start his job young?A.He wanted to be famous in the futureB.The job was quite easy for himC.His mother had high hopes for himD.The competition for the job was fierce22.From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _____.A.excitedB.interestedC.ashamedD.disappointed23.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?A.She forced him to continueB.She punished himC.She gave him some moneyD.She changed her plan答案：CDA解析：21.细节理解题根据"She wanted me to "make something" of myself and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition."可知,男孩年龄很小时就开始参加工作的原因是他妈妈对他抱有很高的希望,故答案为C.22.推理判断题根据"My God, Russell!"可知,妈妈对他的行为感觉很失望,故答案为D23.细节理解题根据"She replied," you will become a good-for-nothing."

What if I told you that it's a sales strategy that pretty much all phone companies use to force people into buying new phones?In late 2015, when Lisa Young was in charge of iOS security and beta software testing teams, her boss revealed a dark secret to her, saying that they were using a new strategy that would purposely slow down older phones every time the phone would upgrade to the latest operating system. This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70%.She was a little disturbed to hear the news, but she just kept her head down and continued to do her job. After a while, the guilt of being involved with such a shady sales model started to weigh heavily on her. "How could a multi-billion dollar corporation continue to take advantage of the public like this?" she thought. In March of 2017, she contacted a reporter from CNN to finally leak the information concerning Apple slowing down phones.The scandal (丑闻) went viral overnight, and every media outlet in the world, in every language was talking about it, making it one of the biggest controversies in consumer electronics history. A week later, she was secretly let go after her 8 years of service. Although she was taking a huge risk going against one of the most powerful corporations in the world, she felt a sense of relief exposing it. The public deserved to know and the fear became her motivation to find a way to destroy their shady sales model.Several of her colleagues were fired with her. They quietly united, and after a year of extensive research they designed a unique product called CircaCharge that would reverse the negative effects of "software updates". Phone companies have recently got wind of their overnight success with CircaCharge and are trying to do everything they can to make this product illegal and ban it forever. Lisa and her team have made unbelievable progress inincreasing battery life, battery health, and optimizing phone performance, and they will continue to develop new technology that will beat phone companies at their own game until they change their ways.24.What can we learn about the new method mentioned in paragraph 2?A.It is essential in the latest operating system.B.It benefits users in upgrading their old phone.C.It fools customers into buying the latest model on purpose.D.It is a successful sales strategy for advertising new softwares.25.What does the underlined phrase "kept her head down" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Shook her head.B.Nodded to show approval.C.Pretended to know something.D.Tried not to show she knows something.26.From the passage, we know ________.A.it's too tough for Lisa and her team to increase battery lifeB.CircaCharge helps phone companies with software updatesC.Lisa struggles to force phone companies to change their current waysD.phone companies find it essential to ban their illegal software for updating答案：CDC解析：24.根据文章第二段中的"they were using a new strategy... This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70%"可知，新的策略故意欺骗消费者并迫使消费者去买最新款的手机。

Many people view climate change as a distant threat. But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage pro-environmental behavior, a new study suggests.Researchers asked 93 college students to read a report on temperature anomalies (异常),floods and other climate change-related events that have affected the island. The scientists then asked 62 of the participants to write down three ways in which such phenomena might impact their future lives. Half the people in that group were instructed to imagine such situations in detail. The remaining 31 students did not complete either the writing or imagining steps, acting as a control group.All the participants then rated their ideas of climate change risks by responding to questions such as "How likely do you think it is that climate change is having serious impacts on the world?" They used a scale from 1 ("very unlikely") to 7 ("very likely"). The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envisiondetailed situations than among those who had not. The results were later confirmed in a second experiment involving 102 participants.Participants in the first experiment who had imagined the effects of climate change were more likely to say they would use air conditioning in an energy-saving manner. In the second experiment, nearly two thirds of people in the visualizing (想象) group signed up to help clean a beach, compared with 43 percent in the nonvisualizing one. And when offered a choice of a vegetarian (素食主义的) or nonvegetarian lunch box, nearly half the visualizers selected the environmentally friendlier meatless choice-compared with about 28 percent of the nonvisualizers.The researchers did not track people to see if they behaved differently in their day-to-day lives-something further studies should examine, says study co-author Wen-Bin Chiou. Moreover, the research "should be done again in other places with other populations," says Robert Gifford, a professor of psychology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, who was not involved in the work.The findings could be applied to raise public concern about climate change, Chiou says. For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people's lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts. Having virtual-reality demonstrations (展示) in local science museums of the consequences of climate change would be another way of putting the research into practice, Chiou adds.27.Which of the following statements about the study is true?A.Only one experiment was carried out for the study.B.Professor Robert Gifford played a key role in the study.C.The control group only completed the writing step in the experiment.D.Participants asked to imagine detailed effects scored higher than those who weren't.28.Future studies will probably be about whether ______.A.it is true of other populations in other placesB.more money will be donated to the people affected by climate change-related eventsC.people choose vegetarian lunch boxes in their daily livesD.climate change will cause people to think about joining in a control group29.To put the research into practice, Wen-Bin Chiou suggests that ______.A.the government call on people to live a low-carbon lifeB.people use air conditioning in an energy-saving mannerC.people experience possible effects of climate change through virtual reality facilitiesD.news reports provide vivid descriptions of the effects of climate change on people's lives30.The passage mainly tells us that ______.A.different people may have different reactions to climate changeB.different forms of climate change may affect people's ideas in different waysC.people may change their behavior after thinking about the vivid impacts of climate changeD.college students show great concern for the people affected by climate change第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI used to be crazy about the hunting season. The excitement of waiting for a prey(猎物)and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.Early on that day of the late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches. After finding the fresh deer’s tracks in the snow, I settled down behind a little bush.I sat there for about an hour. It was then that I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards. Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there. I waited for him to be shocked and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head. And he liked to be scratched. In fact, he practically asked for more. Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam(撞击)a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters thatday.Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head.21. Why didn’t the author kill the deer?A. He preferred to shoot a shy deer.B.

AIt was Monday. Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, "Take this to the butcher(卖肉者), and he's going to give you your lunch today."Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and pleasantly did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers. However, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock,and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself， "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?"Looking at the piece of paper， he found that there were not any words on it!21.When Mrs Smith's dog was hungry， what did she give to the dog?A. Some chicken.B. Half a pound of meat.C.A hot dog.D.A piece of paper with some words on it.22. Mrs Smith treated her little dog quite _______.A. rudelyB. proudlyC. friendlyD. angrily23.From its experience， the dog found that _______.A.only the paper with Mrs Smith's words on it could bring it meatB.a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meatC.the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw itD.Mrs Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher答案：21-23 DCB文章大意：本文为记叙文。

ADevon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been while she’s on her worldwide vacation in a special way. The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message, Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geo-tag(地理位置标签), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmot her didn’t like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback(反馈), “My leg hasn’t stop ped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, anyway, I’ve been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life.”Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. Andif life gives you an artificial leg, make art.21.What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?A.She enjoys her travelling across the globe.B.She suffers little from her leg’s amputat ion.C.She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.D.She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.22.What does the word “which” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A.the picturesB.the continentC.the legD.the location23.Gallagher can best be described as ________.A.helpful and ambitiousB.friendly and generousC.determined and creativeD.independent and wise答案：CAC解析：21.细节理解题。

AI used to be crazy about the hunting season. The excitement of waiting for a prey(猎物)and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.Early on that day of the late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches. After finding the fresh deer’s tracks in th e snow, I settled down behind a little bush.I sat there for about an hour. It was then that I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards. Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there. I waited for him to be shocked and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!Wh at happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head. And he liked to be scratched. In fact, he practically asked for more. Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam(撞击)a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head.21. Why didn’t the author kil l the deer?A. He preferred to shoot a shy deer.B. He was fooled by the tricky deer.C. He was sympathetic for the deer.D. He was too shocked to shoot the deer.22. What most probably happened to the deer in the end?A.

浙江省普通高校招生学考科目考试英语试题(解析版)浙江省普通高校招生学考科目考试英语试题(解析版)Section ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1. W: Is it possible for us to change our seats on the plane?M: I'm sorry, ma'am, but all the seats have been assigned. We cannot make any changes now.Q: What does the man mean?2. W: Could you help me find the book I left here yesterday?M: Sure, can you describe the cover or the title of the book?Q: What does the man ask the woman?3. W: I failed my driving test again. I'm really frustrated.M: Don't worry, you'll do better next time. Just keep practicing.Q: What does the man advise the woman to do?4. W: Excuse me, is it alright if I borrow your pen for a moment?M: Of course, here you go.Q: What does the man do?5. W: I'm tired of eating the same food every day. Let's try the new Chinese restaurant downtown.M: I heard they have a wide selection of delicious dishes. That sounds like a great idea!Q: What do the speakers decide to do?6. W: Do you prefer going to the movie theater or watching movies at home?M: It depends. I like the cinema experience, but sometimes it's nice to stay in and be comfortable.Q: What does the man mean?7. W: Do you think it will rain tonight?M: According to the weather forecast, it's going to clear up later. So, I think we'll have a dry night.Q: What does the man imply about the weather?8. W: Could you please turn down the TV volume? I can't concentrate on my work.M: Oh, sorry. I'll lower it for you.Q: What will the man do?9. W: How long does it usually take to process a visa application?M: It varies, but it typically takes around two weeks. However, during peak seasons, it might take longer.Q: What does the man say about visa applications?10. W: The concert is scheduled to start at 8 pm. When do you suggest we arrive?M: To secure good seats, I think we should get there at least 30 minutes early.Q: What does the man recommend?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Passage oneTime can change everything. After living ten years in a foreign country, I'm amazed by how much I've grown and how many cultural differences I've adjusted to. Speaking a second language, eating different food, and adapting to local customs were all part of the process. At first, everything was strange and unfamiliar. However, as time went by, what was once foreign became a part of my daily life. Now, I feel like a local, and this foreign land has become my home.11. What has the speaker experienced for ten years?12. How did the speaker feel about the cultural differences at first?13. What does the speaker mean by saying "this foreign land has become my home"?Passage twoOne day, my friend invited me to his house for dinner. When I arrived, I was surprised to see that he lived in a small cabin in the woods. It seemed like an unusual choice for someone who worked in the city. However, as he showed me around, I realized that he had created a cozy and sustainable lifestyle for himself. He had a vegetable garden, solar panels for electricity, and a rainwater collection system. He explained that he wanted to live closer to nature and reduce his carbon footprint. I respected his decision and admired him for his commitment to environmental conservation.14. What surprised the speaker when they arrived at their friend's house?15. What did the friend have in his house to generate electricity?16. Why does the speaker admire their friend?Section CDirections: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Conversation oneW: Good morning, Professor Smith. I'm planning to write my thesis on climate change. Could you give me some advice on how to narrow down such a broad topic?M: Good morning. Climate change is indeed a vast topic. To narrow it down, it's important to choose a specific aspect you find most interesting or relevant. For example, you can focus on the impact of climate change on a particular ecosystem, or how it affects a certain group of people. By narrowing your focus, you can delve deeper into the subject and provide more specific analysis.W: That makes sense. I think I'll explore how climate change affects coastal communities, as I'm particularly interested in the relationship between rising sea levels and human settlements.M: That sounds like a great idea. Coastal communities are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and by studying this aspect, you can contribute valuable insights to the field.17. Topic: _______________18. Aspect of the topic chosen by the woman: _______________Conversation twoM: Hey, Lucy. I heard you're planning a road trip this summer. Where are you thinking of going?W: Hi, Mark. Yes, I'm really excited about it. I've always wanted to explore the national parks in the West. I'm thinking of starting with Yellowstone and then maybe visiting Yosemite and Grand Canyon.M: That sounds amazing! The national parks are breathtaking and offer incredible natural landscapes. Are you planning to camp or stay in hotels?W: I'm planning to camp most of the time. It's a great way to connect with nature and experience the parks more intimately. However, I might stay in hotels for a few nights to have a comfortable break.M: That sounds like a well-balanced plan. Just make sure to check the camping regulations and book your campsites in advance. Some popular parks tend to fill up quickly.19. National parks the woman is planning to visit: _______________20. Accommodation plan: _______________That concludes the listening test for the Zhejiang Provincial College Entrance Examination English paper. We hope you've found this analysis helpful for your preparation. Good luck with your studies!。

And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

BIn 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. ＂Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food? ＂Well, Carlin almost has it right—there’s not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching—green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much harm to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table.24. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To introduce a TV show.C. To state the author’s opinion.D. To explain why people dislike blue.25. What can we learn about blueberries from Paragraph 2?A. The blue in blueberries is found natural.B. Blueberries are still blue when processed.C. Most people don’t eat blueberries owing to the color.D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.26. What does the author mean by saying eating sometimes begins with our eyes?A. People prefer red-colored food to green food.B. We should examine food carefully before eating.C. Our taste experience can be influenced by color.D. Red-colored foods look sweeter than they actually are.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，通过对科学实验结果和人们饮食习惯的分析，介绍了日常饮食中蓝色食物很少见的原因。
