A
Tibetan Food

Butter Tea
When making butter tea,one needs to stir the yak butter and tea until they blend well.Butter tea’s aroma can easily fill one’s nostrils,and it is an essential daily drink for Tibetans.Butter tea can strengthen the body,nourish the soul,coordinate dispositions,make the soul calm,and keep out the cold.It contains Tibetans’ comprehension and wisdom of survival.

Tibetan Noodles
The favourite wheat-based food of Tibetans is the local noodles.When a bowl of Tibetan noodles is presented,the delicate colour of the vessel,the clear soup,the thick noodles and the pleasant diced beef,along with a small bowl of hot sauce make people lick their lips.No wonder someone exclaimed,after having a big meal in a Tibetan noodle restaurant,“This is not only the liveliest Tibetan meal,but also represents the vigorousness of Tibetans.”

Stone-Pot Chicken
The stone-pot chicken is perhaps the most distinctive dish in Tibet.The pot is made of natural stones on the shores of Brahmaputra.These stones are hollowed (挖) out and soaked in the water of Brahmaputra for thirty days before being used as pots.This especially delicious dish is made by putting Tibetan chicken and dozens of Chinese herbs into the pot and stewing it for several hours.

Tibetan Yogurt
After tasting Tibetan yogurt,your concept of yogurt might be completely changed.The yogurt in Tibet is thick and strong,but it’s very sour.Even with sugar and honey,people who taste it for the first time still wince at this sourness.However,if you begin to like this yogurt’s originality,then every time you have this yogurt,it will seem like a festival treat.

Scientists have learnt a lot about the kinds of food people need.They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day.They are:green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; citrus fruits and tomatoes;potatoes and other fruit and vegetables; meat of all kinds,fish and eggs; milk and foods made from milk; bread or cereal; 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 doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked,canned or frozen(冷冻的).It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night.The important thing is what you eat every day.
There are two problems in feeding the large number of people on the earth.The first is to find some way to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry.The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.
24.According to the scientists,which of the following groups of food is the healthiest for your lunch?

The next time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee,you might want to let it cool down a bit before drinking.Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer.
In fact,the United Nations’ cancer research agency decides to list hot drinks with lead,gasoline and exhaust fumes as “possibly carcinogenic(致癌的)”.In other words,each one could cause cancer.
Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius,when swallowed,can cause cancer of the esophagus(食道).
The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70 degrees Celsius or above.Those studies were completed in China and South America.In developed countries,health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks.
However,this form of cancer is more common in areas where people have drinks at very high temperatures.
In Europe and the United States,many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 degrees Celsius.And they often add milk which lowers the temperature considerably.However,tea-drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at closer to 70 degrees Celsius.
In 1991,the World Health Organisation (WHO) listed coffee as “possibly carcinogenic”.WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing.They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.
The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature,rather than the drinks themselves,that appears to be responsible.
28.Who most probably suffers from cancer of the esophagus?
A.A girl who likes cold milk.
B.A man who drinks very hot tea.
C.A woman who likes coffee.
D.A man who works at IARC.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“ResearchersattheInternationalAgencyforResearchonCancer(IARC)foundevidencethatdrinksattemperaturesabove65degreesCelsius,whenswallowed,cancausecanceroftheesophagus.”可知,喝温度在65℃以上的饮料会引发食道癌。故选B项。
29.Why did the WHO remove coffee from “possibly carcinogenic” list?
A.People don’t like coffee any longer.
B.People drink coffee at 60 degrees Celsius.
C.Coffee has nothing to do with cancer.
D.Temperature is more dangerous than coffee itself.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“WHOofficialshavesincechangedtheirpositiononthatlisting.Theynowsuggestthatthetemperatureofyourhotdrinkisagreaterriskfactorthantheactualdrinkitself.”可知,世界卫生组织将咖啡从“可能致癌”清单上去掉是因为相比于饮料本身,热饮的温度对健康的影响更大。故选D项。
30.How does the author mainly support the theme of the text?
A.By studying examples.
B.By starting arguments.
C.By providing research results.
D.By explaining statistical data.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。作者通过叙述研究结果以及研究者的观点来支撑本文的主题,即过热的饮料会引发食道癌。故选C项。
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Hot Drinks Linked to Cancer
B.Reduce Having Hot Drinks
C.Danger of Drinking Hot Drinks
D.Healthy Drinks
答案:A
解析:标题判断题。根据第一段中的“Researcherssaylettingyourhotdrinkscooloffcouldhelpyouavoidsomekindsofcancer.”和最后一段中的“...itisthetemperature,ratherthanthedrinksthemselves,thatappearstoberesponsible.”并结合全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,即过热的饮料会引发食道癌。故选A项。
D
Processed foods like chips,sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt,sugar and fat.Now,scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.
Scientists have already linked low-cost,packaged foods to rising obesity rates around the world.Obesity increases the risk of many health problems.Three recent studies offer more clues on how our increasingly industrialised food supply may be affecting our health.
The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups.The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialised materials and additives(添加剂).Sodas,packaged cookies,instant noodles and chicken nuggets(鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods.But also included are products that can seem healthy,such as morning cereals,energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.
Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people.They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods.That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods.The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted.They were taken to a medical centre so their health and behaviour could be observed.In another study,researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease.A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.
When fed less processed foods,people in the study produced more of a hormone that controls hunger,and less of a hormone that causes hunger.The reason for the reaction is not clear.The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly.Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study.He said that processed foods were usually “softer and easier to chew and swallow”.Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference.For example,fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.
Avoiding processed foods can be hard,especially for people with limited time and money.Processed foods can also take many forms.In addition,companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier.The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods.But,they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.
32.What kind of food do energy bars belong to?
A.Fairly health-friendly foods.
B.Especially beneficial foods.
C.Relatively high-cost foods.
D.Highly processed foods.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sodas,packagedcookies,instantnoodlesandchickennuggetsaresomeexamplesofhighlyprocessedfoods.Butalsoincludedareproductsthatcanseemhealthy,suchasmorningcereals,energybarsandsomekindsofyogurt.”可知,能量棒虽然看上去好像是健康的,但也属于被高度加工过的食品。故选D项。
33.What can we know about eating more processed foods in paragraph 4?
A.It does harm to people potentially.
B.It can often result in death.
C.It makes people get less calories.
D.It makes little difference to people’s health.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Inanotherstudy,researchersinFrancefoundpeoplewhoatemoreprocessedfoodsweremorelikelytohaveheartdisease.AsimilarstudyinSpainlinkedeatingmoreprocessedfoodstoahigherriskofdeathingeneral.”可知,吃更多被加工过的食品对人们的健康是有潜在危害的。故选A项。
34.What is more likely to make people feel full?
A.Fiber added to packaged foods.
B.Fiber from fruit and vegetables.
C.Highly processed foods like instant noodles.
D.Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Forexample,fiberfromfruitandvegetablesmaybebetterformakingpeoplefeelfullthanfiberaddedtopackagedfoodssuchasenergybarsandyogurt.”可知,水果和蔬菜中的纤维素比添加到能量棒和酸奶等包装食品中的纤维素更能让人感到饱。故选B项。
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Different Kinds of Processed Foods
B.Recent Studies on Processed Foods
C.How Bad Processed Foods Are
D.Advantages and Disadvantages of Processed Foods
答案:C
解析:标题归纳题。纵观全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了被加工过的食品给人们的健康带来的害处,因此C项作为本文标题最为恰当。故选C项。
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。
Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways.The WHO released(发布) five simple rules for preparing food in a safe way.They call these rules the “Five Keys to Safer Food”.
Key 1:Keep clean.
　36　People should wash their hands often—before touching food and while they are preparing food.People should wash all surfaces and equipment used for preparing food. 
Key 2:Separate raw (生的) and cooked.
Raw foods should not touch prepared foods.　37　 
Key 3:　38　 
People should cook eggs and meat especially carefully.These foods may carry more micro-organisms (微生物) than other foods.Food like soup must be boiled for at least a minute to make it be cooked completely.It is also important that people re-heat cooked food completely.
Key 4:Keep food at safe temperatures.
When people finish eating,they should keep the left food in a refrigerator below 5℃ and shouldn’t store it for too long.When the temperature at room is about 20℃,the amount of micro-organisms can increase very quickly.But temperatures above 60℃ or below 5℃ control the growth of micro-organisms.　39　 
Key 5:Use safe water and raw materials.
　40　 Damaged water or old food may develop harmful chemicals as it gets older. 
A.Cook completely.
B.This key tells about the importance of washing.
C.Eat healthily.
D.They can live where we make food.
E.People should use safe water and choose fresh foods.
F.They cannot grow as quickly in a very hot or very cold environment.
G.People should use separate equipment and tools for touching and preparing raw foods.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
Once upon a time in a faraway land,lived two young men,much like many young men you may know today...
The two brothers were likeable,but undisciplined(无组织纪律的),with a wild character in them.They behaved badly,which turned serious when they began stealing sheep from the local farmers—a serious crime in this rural place,so long ago and far away.In time,the thieves were caught.The local farmers decided their fate:The two brothers would be branded on the forehead with the letters ST for “sheep thief”.This sign they would carry with them forevermore.
The younger brother was so embarrassed by this branding that he ran away;he was never heard from again.
The elder brother,filled with deep regret,accepted his fate and chose to stay and try to make amends(改过自新) to the villagers he had wronged.At first the villagers had doubts about his behaviour and would have nothing to do with him.But this brother was determined to make reparation for his wrongdoing.
Whenever there was a sickness,the sheep thief came to care for the ill with soup and a soft touch.Whenever there was work needing to be done,the sheep thief came to help with a lending hand.It made no difference whether the person was rich or poor.The sheep thief was there to help.Never accepting pay for his good deeds,he lived his life for others.
Many years later,a traveller came through the village sitting at a sidewalk café eating lunch.He saw an old man with a strange brand on his forehead seated nearby.The stranger noticed that all the villagers who passed the old man stopped to share a kind word,to pay their respects;children stopped their play to give and receive a warm hug.
Curious,the stranger asked the café owner after the old man left.“What does that strange brand on the old man’s forehead stand for?”
“I don’t know.It happened so long ago...”the café owner replied.Then,pausing briefly for a moment of reflection,he continued:“...but I think it stands for ‘saint’.”
Justatthatmoment,anotheroldmancamein. 
  
  
  
  
Thevillagerslookedathimcuriously. 
  
  
  
  
参考范文
Justatthatmoment,anotheroldmancamein.He was in rags and looked exhausted.After exchanging glances with the owner of the café,he seated himself and ordered his meal.The owner served him and asked:“You seem to be tired,why?”“Oh,I have walked for days,with the intention to see if my elder brother still lives here.”“Your brother?”The owner was surprised.“Yes,my brother,an old man with a strange brand on his forehead.”Thinking of the “saint”,he added:“The letters of the brand are ST?”“Oh,Yes.Long time ago,he was punished for stealing sheep...”
Thevillagerslookedathimcuriously.The old man became the focus for quite a while.Then some senior villagers recognised him—the younger brother.But with time going by,their hatred for him no longer existed.Instead,they came to extend their concern to him when he expressed his regret for stealing sheep.The villagers all smiled and greeted him with welcoming hugs.Meanwhile,some enthusiastic youngsters went and fetched the elder brother.Finally,the overjoyed brothers went home together with tears of happiness.
