11、my work, so occasions are quite rare when I can spend the whole day with my kids.An Embarrassing MomentThe perfect host is the one who saves his guest from embarrassment whatever the cost. When Edward became King of England in 1901, he was already nearly 60 years old. He liked travelling, meeting pe
12、ople, and eating well. In short, he liked having a good time.One evening he was entertaining the ruler of a small island in the Pacific. The menu included asparagus, which his guest had never eaten before. Asparagus is by nature tender and tasty at one end, but gets tougher and difficult to eat at t
13、he other end. Usually people leave the part which is difficult to eat on their plates.As soon as the Polynesian guest tasted the asparagus he remarked how delicious it was. However, when he realised that he could not eat the tough part, he simply threw it over his shoulder onto the floor behind him.
14、 The other guests were astonished, but went on eating. The King said nothing. However, when he had finished his asparagus, he too threw the piece that was left over his shoulder.Before long everybody else at the dinner was following his example, casually throwing the asparagus onto the floor, while
15、the conversation continued in a friendly and relaxed manner. At the end of the meal the carpet was rather dirty. The cleaners werent very happy, but in the end most people had to agree that the King had been a perfect host, saving his guest and everybody else from the embarrassment which came from a
16、 misunderstanding of table manners.一个令人尴尬的时刻完美的东道主是一个无论花费什么代价都要使他的客人脱离尴尬境地的人。当爱德华七世在1901年成为英国国王的时候,他已经快60岁了。他喜欢旅行,会见客人,以及吃美味佳肴。简而言之,他喜欢享受生活。一天晚上,他正款待一位来自太平洋小岛的统治者。菜单包括芦笋,他的客人以前从未吃过。芦笋天生就是一头脆嫩好吃,另一头则越来越硬且难吃。通常人们会把难吃的那端留在盘子里。波利尼西亚的客人一尝到芦笋就赞叹它是多么地美味。然而,当他意识到他不能吃坚硬的那头时,他索性就从肩膀上方把它扔在身后的地板上了。其他客人很惊讶,但是继续吃
17、东西。国王什么也没说。然而,当他吃完他的芦笋后,他也从肩膀上方把剩下的那段扔了。不久之后,餐桌上的每个人都效仿国王,随意地把芦笋扔在了地板上,与此同时交谈仍以一种友好而轻松的方式进行着。在晚饭结束时地毯相当脏了。虽然清洁工们很不高兴,但最后大多数人却不得不承认国王是一个完美的东道主,他把他的客人和其他人从因为对餐桌礼仪的误解而产生的窘境中解救了出来。Food in AustraliaNot so long ago, food in Australia meant porridge with milk and sugar, and eggs and bacon for breakfast, th
18、en roast lamb or beef for lunch or dinner. During the 1980s each person consumed about 39 kilograms of meat a year, and the butcher in the local High Street was one of the most important people in town. Australia is a country where the cattle and sheep outnumber the people, and it has always been ju
19、stifiably famous for its lamb (no one would even think of eating mutton, which is the meat from the older animal). The consequence was that many people were overweight. Today there are still many Australians who eat huge amounts of meat. But recently, we have seen a gradual trend towards healthier f
20、ood.Modern Australian cooking is often referred to as fusion cuisine, and the recipes include ingredients and cooking styles from the East and the West. Today, Australians enjoy Japanese food with bean curd, seaweed, and raw fish, as well as Greek, Italian and Lebanese food such as pasta, olives, to
21、matoes, eggplant and lemons. Cantonese and Beijingstyle food is always popular, especially dim sum. French cooking can be seen in the Australians love of the Frenchstyle bakery, with its delicious cakes and long loaves of bread. There are few or no artificial ingredients in fusion cooking, only the
22、purest and freshest of produce.Even in the suburbs there are Oriental grocery stores where customers can buy everything from a Chinese frying pan (a wok) and chilli powder, cocoa from Brazil for drinking or for cakes, American chocolatechip cookies, Canadian maple syrup or French honey to pour over
23、your breakfast pancakes, to crisp Indian samosas and lemon grass for fragrant Thai dishes, dairy products such as yoghurt and cream, as well as abundant homegrown fruit, especially ripe peaches, grapes, melons and oranges.Most Australian homes will have a stove on which you fry or steam vegetables,
24、and theres usually a microwave oven as well, for reheating food quickly. But perhaps the most important piece of equipment is not in the kitchen but in the garden the famous barbecue, where, on a charcoal fire, they grill meat, such as slices of beef steak, chicken breasts or lamb cutlets. Theres us
25、ually a buffet of salads and vegetables to accompany it, and pints of Australian beer to drink, because the breweries which make the beer are among the finest in the world. Altogether, with its ample amount of food and drink and its relaxed way of cooking and serving, the barbecue is not just a piec
26、e of cooking equipment but the word the Australians use for a popular way of entertaining friends.澳大利亚的食物不久之前,澳大利亚的食物早餐是加有牛奶和糖的粥、鸡蛋和培根肉,午餐或晚餐则吃烤羊肉或牛肉。20世纪80年代每人每年要消耗掉39公斤的肉。当地商业大街上的屠夫是镇上最重要的人之一。澳大利亚是一个牛羊的数量比人多的国家,它无可非议地以它的羔羊肉而著名(甚至没有人想过吃“羊肉”就是比较老的羊身上的肉)。结果是很多人都超重。现在仍有很多澳大利亚人吃大量的肉。但最近,我们看到了一种渐渐朝更健康的饮
27、食转变的趋势。现代澳大利亚烹调法通常指的是多元的烹饪,食谱包括来自东西方的食材和烹饪风格。现今,澳大利亚人喜欢含有豆腐、海带和生鱼片的日本食物,还有希腊、意大利和黎巴嫩的食物,如意大利面食、橄榄、西红柿、茄子和柠檬。广东菜和北京风格的食物也很受欢迎,尤其是中式点心。法国烹饪也能在澳大利亚人喜爱的法式面包房里看见,有美味的蛋糕和长条的面包。在多元的烹饪法中没多少或根本就没有人工合成的食材,只有最纯最新鲜的产品。甚至在郊区也有东方人的杂货店,在那里顾客能买到一切:中国的炒锅(一种锅)、辣椒粉、产自巴西的做饮料和蛋糕用的可可粉、美国产的巧克力棒小甜饼、可以涂抹在早餐煎饼上的加拿大枫树糖浆或者法国蜂蜜
28、,印度的萨莫萨三角饺和芳香的做泰国菜用的柠檬草,奶制品如酸奶和奶油以及大量的家产的水果,尤其是成熟了的桃子、葡萄、瓜和橘子。大多数澳大利亚人家里都有一个火炉,你可以在上面煎或蒸蔬菜,通常也有一个微波炉,用来迅速重新加热食物。但是最重要的设备可能不是在厨房里而是在花园里(那就是)著名的烧烤野餐,在木炭火上他们可以烤肉,如:一片片牛排、鸡胸脯或羊排。通常有一餐车的沙拉和蔬菜伴着吃,喝成品脱的澳大利亚啤酒,因为酿造这种啤酒的酿酒厂是世界上最好的酿酒厂之一。总而言之,野外烧烤有着丰富的食物和饮料,轻松烹饪和上菜的方式,它不仅仅是一个做饭设备,也是一个指澳大利亚人用来款待朋友的流行方式的单词。The W

80、 not be one of them, suggests a new study, which found no difference in antioxidant (抗氧化剂) levels between organically and conventionally (常规地) grown onions, carrots, and potatoes.The study only looked at three types of vegetables and just a few select nutrients. But the experiment was part of a bigg
81、er project that was so systematic and strictly controlled that the findings likely apply to other crops, too.“Giving preference to organic products because they contain more bioactive components is doubtful and not supported by scientific evidence,” Knuthsen said. “Still, there are many good reasons
82、 for the consumer to select organic food products, including absence of pesticide residues (农药残留) in foods, animal welfare, and environmental protections.”Argument over whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varieties has been around for at least a decade, said Jeffrey Blumberg
83、, director of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at Tufts University in Boston. “Some studies have suggested that organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidants. Possibly because some antioxidants act as natural fungicides (杀真菌剂), pesticides and insecticides,” he said. “T
84、he idea is that, without help from industrial chemicals, plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselves. They end up becoming more nutritious as a result.” But plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship.“I understand that organic farmers would love to be able to say t
85、hat theirs are superfruits and supervegetables because there are higher amounts of these compounds in them,” Blumberg said. “If you want to buy them because you think theyre safer for the planet to grow things that way, or because you think pesticides are bad for you or your family, or you like that
86、 they come from a shorter distance away, thats great.”“But if you want to buy them because theyre more nutritious, youre confused, and we dont know if thats true or not.”语篇解读:一项新研究表明,购买有机食品的理由有很多,但可能营养不是其中之一。这项研究发现,在普通环境和有机环境中生长的洋葱、胡萝卜和土豆中的抗氧化剂水平没有什么区别。有的人认为有机食品含有更多的生物活性物质而偏爱有机食品,这种做法很值得怀疑,而且也无法得到科学
87、证据的支持。1The new study proves that _.Athere are plenty of good reasons to buy organic produceBnutrition is one of the good reasons to buy organic produceCsome organically and conventionally grown foods have the same antioxidant levelsDorganic produce is harmful to our health解析:选C细节理解题。根据第一段可知,这项研究发现,在
88、普通环境和有机环境中生长的洋葱、胡萝卜和土豆中的抗氧化剂水平没有区别。购买有机产品的理由有很多,但可能营养不是其中之一。A项不是研究发现的内容。2Why do people prefer organic products?ABecause they think organic products have no bioactive components.BBecause scientific evidence supports organic products can make them stronger.CBecause its proved that organic produce is m
89、ore nutritious than conventional varieties.DBecause they think organic food products have no harmful things.解析:选D推理判断题。根据第三段可知,对于消费者来说,仍然有很多选择有机食品的好理由,包括没有杀虫剂残留、利于保护动物和环境等等。由此可推断出D项是正确的。3The fourth paragraph mainly tells us _.Aits unclear whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional
90、varietiesBorganically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidantsCplants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselvesDplenty of other studies have shown no such relationship解析:选A段落大意题。本段第一句话为主题句,关于有机食品是否比普通食品更有营养的争论已经持续了至少十年了,但现在的研究仍然无法证明这一点。其他三个选项只是其中部分内容。4Which is NO
91、T the reason for you to buy organic products according to Blumberg?AThere are higher amounts of healthful antioxidants in them.BTheyre safer for the planet to grow things organically.CPesticides are bad for you or your family.DThey are more nutritious.解析:选D细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,布隆伯格认为:要是你购买这些有机食品的原因是它们更有营养
92、,那你就被迷惑了,而且我们也不知道这是否是真的。由此可判断出D项不应该是购买有机食品的原因。其他三个选项在倒数第二段都是布隆伯格认可的原因。BA recent Stanford study found that Americas students are shockingly bad at telling fact from fiction in this digital age. Its apparent that something has to change in the nations classrooms. That something, according to Professor
93、 Sam Wineburg, one of those Stanford researchers, is “practice.”“How do they become prepared to make the choices about what to believe, what to forward, what to post to their friends,” Wineburg asked on NPRs All Things Considered, “when teachers give no practice to them?”Patricia Hunt, an experience

And some are pure fact.“We dont know which is which at this point,” laughs student Kahder Smith. “We actually have to sit down, take our time, and actually read them
96、. And probably Google some stuff to see if its real or not.”A post claims that more than a dozen people died after receiving the flu vaccine (疫苗) in Italy and that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) is now telling people not to get a flu shot.“I mean, Ive heard many unconfirmed reports that the f

It looks like this is off Facebook and someone shared it.” Cooper labels the story “fiction”. And shes right.Instead of teaching students the fundamentals of
98、factchecking, many schools simply ignore the problem, blocking social media sites on school computers.“Its like teaching students to drive in the parking lot and then sending them out on the highway and saying Good luck!” says Audrey Church, president of the American Association of School Librarians
99、.语篇解读:本文是议论文。美国的一些学校开设了教学生如何鉴别网络消息真假的课程,很多专家学者表示赞同。5What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AStanford researchers.BMedia people.CStudents. DTeachers.解析:选C代词指代题。根据第一段中的“Americas students are shockingly bad at telling fact from fiction in this digital age”可知,在电子时代,美国的学生缺乏辨别真假消息的能力
100、,由此可推测,这里是问“这些学生”怎样才能做好准备选择相信、传递、发布哪些消息呢?另外,根据第二段末的“when teachers give no practice to them”也可推测,这里的they指的是学生。6How does Hunt run the digital course?ABy inviting experts to give students lectures.BBy asking students to go on the Internet together.CBy taking students to a news organization regularly.DB
101、y letting students identify factual information in groups.解析:选D细节理解题。根据第四、五段内容可知,Hunt让她的学生三四人一组鉴别真假消息。7According to Church, what should schools do?AHelp students improve driving skills.BTeach students how to spot false news.CAllow students to drive on the highway.DAsk students to avoid using social
102、media.解析:选B推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知,Church认为学校屏蔽社交媒体的做法就像是在停车场教会学生们开车后让他们直接上高速,这样做无疑风险很大。由此可推测他反对学校屏蔽社交媒体的做法,而是希望学校能够教孩子们如何识别假新闻。8What does the text mainly discuss?AThe findings of a recent Stanford study.BAn educational issue in the digital age.CThe influence of a widely spread post.DAn experienced high school teacher.解析:选B主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文讨论了在电子时代,老师如何帮助学生们学会鉴别网络消息的真假,这是一个教育问题。
