The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is nto a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additives,caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes,but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. Which of the following statements is NOT ture?（）

A、Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons
B、Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals
C、Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty-five years.
D、Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world.

第1题：

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.

Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.

Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:

The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.

The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.

Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____

A、They are too slim.

B、They work too hard.

C、They are too fat.

D、 They lost too much body fat.

2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____

A、 30.

B、 50.

C、100.

D、150.

3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____

A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.

B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.

C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.

D、We don't know because the information is not given

4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.

A、ate more food and had more physical activities

B、ate less food but had more activities

C、 ate less food and had less physical exercise

D、had more weight problems

5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____

A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.

B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.

C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.

D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

第2题：

This is the age of the quick action. We have instant satisfaction, fast food, speed reading, mobile phones; even the stress management books have titles like "Stress Management in 60 Seconds".
Canadian Classics Professor Margaret Visser points out that the perception that we have "no time" is one of the most strict concepts of Western culture. Visser says that "no time" is used as an excuse and also as a spur (刺激); it both goads us and forces us, just as a concept such as "honour" did for the ancient Greeks. According to Visser, the feeling that Westerners have "no time" is abstract, quantitative, amoral (非道德性的), unarguable, bringing pressure on each person as an individual. At the same time, the "no time" excuse escapes censure by claiming to be a condition created entirely out of our good fortune.
Life offers "so many pleasures, so many choices".
The fact that women now work outside the home has contributed to the "no time" trend. But more important, Visser says, is the fact that feeling rushed has become an important component of our economy. Marketing of "time-saving" products causes people to buy more and work longer. So we eat out or buy prepared food to save time. The fax-it-to-me-in-my-car technology only contributes to the constant hurry. In our rushed and exhausted state, even the obligation (义务) to sit down to casual meal with family seems like a pressure. In comparison with the decision to act on a sudden whims (一时的兴致) to consume a microwave mug of soup, the act of eating together and not getting up from the table until everyone else has finished seems an incredibly time-consuming event. Being in one′ s own personal hurry in the West is somehow "free and preferable".
What does "goad" in "it both goads us and forces us" in the second paragraph probably mean?

A.Free.
B.Sour.
C.Instruct.
D.Stimulate.

答案：D

解析：

词义题。free“释放”，sour“变坏，恶化”，instruct“指导”，stimulate“刺激”。根据goad所在句子的前一句“Visser says that‘no time ’is used as all excuse and also as a spur(刺激)”可推测，这里的goad与spur的意思相近。故选D。

第3题：

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mom always found ways to make leftovers (剩余食物) taste good. I went to Ilan to learn about some of their special foods. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don’t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!

Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It’s made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good. Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets (宴会).

Another famous dish is called zao bing. It’s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn’t want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.

I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area─duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don’t usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.

Ilan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again!

56. The writer learns from her parents __________.

A. not to eat leftovers B. to eat good food

C. not to waste food D. to make good food

Your Bean Steak (素肉排), Sir!

What sort of food are we likely to be eating in the year 2000?

Most people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: " There won't be any left, " or "Whatever it is, there won't be much taste in it." Of course, there are good reasons for being worried about the world's food supplies in the future.Nevertheless, not all the experts share these worries.

For one thing, although the world's population is rising fast, food production is keeping pace with it, even in developing countries.It is therefore argued that the main reason why people are hungry is not that there is a world food shortage but that methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and the food is not fairly distributed ( 分配 ).

This does not mean, however, that our diet ( 饮食 ) will go on being the same.In many industrialized countries, people feed animals with grain to produce high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human population, and use fishmeal to fatten pigs to improve the quality of bacon.While not many of us would like fishmeal for lunch, its nutritional value is high and the unattractive fish it is made from can be presented to the public in colorful packets of fish fingers.

By the year 2000, many of these problems will have been solved.Scientists are already capable of making steaks from soy beans.It is quite obvious that there will still be enough to eat, if we are not too particular about where the food comes from and what it is made of.

1.Most people believe that food supplies in the future().

A、will become a very serious problem

B、will be the same as they are today

C、will be enough in quantity but not good in quality

D、will be much better than they are today

2.The reason why people are hungry in today's world is().

A、poor farming methods and bad distribution

B、slow growth of food production

C、food shortages all across the world

D、fast rising population

3.The word "bacon" in Line 5, Para.3 most probably is().

A、a kind of "meat" made from grain

B、meat made from fish

C、food for fish

D、meat made from pigs

4.The word "particular" in Line 4, Para.4 means().

A、special

B、choosy

C、detailed

D、very exact

5.The title of this passage suggests that().

A、food in the future will be tasteless

B、there will be worldwide food shortages

C、diet in the future will be very different

D、science is making rapid progress
