Ⅳ.阅读理解

A

With the advent of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that markedly increases the death rate from certain diseases in any population.

Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork, beef, including sugar, white flour, white noodles and even white rice, undermines one's health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries(动脉), blocking the blood supply to various organs.

This causes diseases in almost every organ, but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and brain.

Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great tasting, fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.

Certainly the fast food chains make lots of money, but who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food chain that proceeds to ruin the health of the Chinese people? Another reason Western fast food restaurants make money is that the food they serve, which comes from assembly lines, will not attract bugs or spoil easily

How the Chinese could patronize these fast food places when Chinese cook such delectable food, not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension.

Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere”. However, Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organize themselves as the Western chains do.

These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the content of the food or the menus in any way, shape or form.

Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.

1. The following are fast food chains from the West EXCEPT

________.

A．McDonald's   B．Kentucky Fried Chicken

C．Pizza Hut   D．Chinese food

解析　细节理解题。由第一段“such as McDonald's...Pizza Hut”可知Chinese food 不属于西方快餐连锁店。

答案　D

2. A diet high in animal foods and refined foods will cause diseases, particularly damage________.

A．the heart and brain  B．the walls of arteries

C．all organs   D．the blood

解析　细节理解题。由第三段“This causes disease in almost every organ, but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and brain”可知， A项正确。

答案　A

3. The underlined word“undermines”in the 2nd paragraph may have the similar meaning with“________”.

A．improves   B．damages

C．affects   D．strengthen

解析　词义猜测题。根据情景可知，这里undermines是“破坏”的意思。

答案　B

4. What will be worth learning from the Western fast food chains? 

A．The content of the food.

B．The menus.

C．The lessons in management and decoration.

D．Shape or form of the food.

解析　细节理解题。文章倒数二段中“These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains”说明了西方快餐店值得学习的地方是管理及店面的装饰。

答案　C

B

SHANGHAI：Plans for the magnetic levitation(maglev)rail route linking the eastern cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou have been put on hold，partly because of residents' concerns about radiation，it was reported over the weekend.

“The project has been suspended by the municipal government，”Xinhua News Agency said，citing an unidentified official of Minhang District in Shanghai's suburbs，where the proposed line has encountered strong opposition from residents because of potential health concerns.

An official with the city's lawmaking body confirmed that the major reason for shelving the project was concerns over radiation，Xinhua said.

But an official with the Minhang District government told China Daily yesterday that the government and experts still need to discuss and conduct more research on the ￥4.5 billion project. He refused to comment on the reported halt.

Last week，German technology supplier Siemens AG said that it was close to signing a deal that would allow the world's only maglev train in commercial use.

In March last year，the central government approved a feasibility study on the 175 km Shanghai­Hangzhou route with speeds of up to 450 km per hour.But recent accidents and cost concerns，as well as strong opposition from local residents，have thrown a spanner in the works.

The project was expected to be completed by 2010 in time for the Shanghai Expo.

A maglev train on a trial run crashed in Germany last year，killing 23 people.In August last year，one of the maglev trains in Shanghai caught fire，forcing it to be evacuated.

Although the original budget was for ￥4.5 billion，Xinhua cited experts estimating a final tally exceeding ￥5.2 billion.

According to residents along the proposed route，the maglev line would have been separated from communities by a greenbelt only 22.5 meters wide，although a blueprint at the local government indicated a protection belt 150 meters wide would be built on either side.German specifications require a 300­meter leeway on both sides of the track.

5．The maglev rail route has been suspended mainly because of________.

A．recent accidents

B．concerns of radiation

C．cost concerns

D．disapproval from the government

解析　由“An official with the city's law making body confirmed that the major reason for shelving the project was concerns over radiation，Xinhua said.”可知。

答案　B

6．It will take you about________minutes to travel in the maglev train from Shanghai to Hangzhou if the project is completed.

A．18           B．25          C．23             D．20

解析　由“In march last year，the central government approved a feasibility study on the 175 km Shanghai­Hangzhou route with speeds of up to 450 km per hour.”可得：175÷450×60≈23。

答案　C

7．The technology used in the maglev train is from________.

A．Germany   B．Italy

C．America   D．Japan

解析　由“German technology supplier”可知。

答案　A

8．The actual cost of the project is about________percent more than the original budget.

A．13           B．16%            C．16               D．13%

解析　由“Although the original budget was for￥4.5 billion，Xinhua cited experts estimating a final tally exceeding￥5.2 billion.”可得：(5.2－4.5)÷4.5×100%≈16%。

答案　C
