(2) citrus(柑橘)fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal (谷物), rice is also in this kind of foods; (7) butter or something like butter.People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things.Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways.People in different countries eat at different times of the day.In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day.Scientists say that none of the differences is really important.It doesnt matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen.It doesnt matter if a person eats dinner at 4 oclock in the afternoon or at eleven oclock at night.The important thing is what you eat every day.There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth.The first thing is to find some ways to feed the worlds population so that no one is hungry.The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kind of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.【语篇解读】食物与我们的健康息息相关。8According to the scientists, which of the following groups of food is the healthiest for your lunch?AChicken, apples, cereal, cabbages.BPotatoes, carrots, rice, bread.COranges, bananas, fish, tomatoes.DBeef, pork, fish, milk.【解析】细节理解题。按照科学家的说法,作为午饭下列哪组食物最健康?通过看选项得知,只有A项所列食物分别属于不同的种类。【答案】A9It is important for people to eat _.Athree times a dayBdinner at twelve oclockCcooked food all the dayDsomething from each of the seven kinds of food every day.【解析】根据第二段后半部分“In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day.Scientists say that none of the differences is really important.It doesnt matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen.It doesnt matter if a person eats dinner at 4 oclock in the afternoon or at eleven oclock at night.”可知,A、B、C三项均是错误的。由第一段可知D项正确。【答案】D10Which of the following is NOT true?APeople in some places dont have enough to eat.BThere are too many people in the world.COne of the problems is that no one is hungry.DThe scientists are trying to make people grow to be strong and healthy.【解析】根据第三段内容可知, A、B、D三项是正确的。【答案】C11If there is Paragraph 4, what do you think is going to be talked about?AWhen people eat their lunch.BWhat to do with the two problems.CHow to cook food in different ways.DWhy people eat different kinds of food.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可以推测出,作者接下来将谈论解决这两个问题的方法。【答案】BDWhile both Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western world, its good to know there are some differences in culture.If you are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解,认为)time and space.For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient.This is probably because America is a fairly young country.However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old.However, perception of distance seems to be the opposite.While Europeans would consider 100 kilometers a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice.This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States.American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自动变速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器)European automobiles are smaller and more roundshaped, while American cars are larger and more squareshaped.Trucks and limousines(豪华轿车)are vehicles that Americans enjoy.In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking_and_traffic_congestion.The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States.In America, parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college.Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition.In fact, children are expected to attend college there.【语篇解读】美国和欧洲诸国在很多方面有明显的差异,本文主要讲述它们在对时空的理解、汽车和教育等方面的不同。12The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to_.Atell the differences between Europe and AmericaBadvise people to travel to Europe and AmericaCintroduce the topic of this passage to the readersDpersuade people to live in a European country【解析】根据第一段第二句可以推知,文章第一段是为了引出本文的话题。【答案】C13Which of the following shows the Americans perception of time?AAn ancient house has a history of 200 years.BEurope has been at least 2,000 years old.CA hundred kilometres is a long way to drive.DIt is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometres.【解析】根据第二段的“.a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient.”可知,A项表现出美国人的时间观。【答案】A14The underlined phrase “parking and traffic congestion” in Paragraph 3 means “_”Apeople like parking their cars on the roadBthe cars go through the parks now and thenCit is easy to park and drive on the highwayDparking is not easy and the traffic is heavy【解析】根据第二段的“This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.”再联系句中的“. they prefer smaller cars.”可以推知,该词组的意思是“停车不容易,交通很拥挤”。【答案】D15It can be concluded from the last paragraph that_.AAmericans are richer than EuropeansBAmericans work harder than EuropeansCthe children in Europe neednt go to school Dit costs Americans a lot of money to go to college【解析】根据末段中的“In America, parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college.”可以推知,美国人上大学要花很多钱。【答案】D.阅读填句(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。选项中的两项为多余选项。_16_Your school days should be some of the best and happiest days of your life.How can you gain the most from them,and ensure that you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn?Be positive about school!
