課文语法填空

Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother， I （enjoy） food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork—and chopsticks.

Mum often cooks spicy dishes. Thanks this， Dad has come to love hot pot！ However， there are still some （dish） that Dad dare not try even after many years of （marry） to my mother. Even today， he still does not easily take to （eat） things like chicken feet. But I enjoy that sort of food （I）.

Dad can cook super “full English breakfast” of bacon， eggs， beans， sausages and toast with butter. He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all love roast beef and vegetables， Mum advises us not to eat too much roast food.

When I first visited China， Mum encouraged me （try） different kinds of food and I did. I loved everything.

People say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison， but I feel at home with food from both my cultures. To me， there’s nothing （good） than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup！

閱读理解

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about it. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like， mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake.

Tea remained scarce （稀少的） and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it directly from China early in the 17th century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.

Tea had been drunk without milk in it at first， but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. She was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did. Slowly spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.

At first， tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess （公爵夫人） found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so， teatime was born.

A. They got expensive tea from India.                 B. They bought tea out of curiosity at first.

C. They had tea until the early 17th century.      D. They were the first to drink tea in Europe.

C. In the late 18th century.                                   D. In the 19th century.

3. The underlined words “this habit” in Paragraph 3 refer to drinking tea .

A. after dinner                                                      B. in the afternoon

C. with milk in it                                                  D. without milk in it

4. What is the last paragraph mainly about？

A. The history of tea.                                           B. The birth of teatime.

閱读七选五

Between school， homework， sports， your after-school job， and hanging out with friends， it may feel like there’s no time for healthy eating. And when you have time， you may simply eat snacks like potato chips. In fact， if you have a busy schedule， it’s even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the energy you need to keep going.

For example， you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet. Knowing how much food your body needs to satisfy this hunger is important. A few walnuts （核桃） are great brain food before sitting down to do your math homework.

Healthy snacking is important to you. During teenage years， the body needs more nutrients （营养物） to grow. Snacks are a great way to satisfy your hunger and get all nutrients your body needs.     Do not eat foods with lots of added sugars like candy bars or soda. That’s because eating these foods may help you stop feeling hungry for a moment， but they are bad for your health in the long term.

Choosing healthy snacks means shopping wisely. We may find “all natural” on the side of a package but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s nutritious. For example， “all natural” juice drinks can be filled with sugar， which means they’ll make you fat easily and give you little nutrition.

A. It’s natural to feel hungry at certain times.

B. Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be boring.

C. But you need to pay attention to what you eat.

D. If you’re really feeling hungry， pay attention to it.

E. But it is possible to treat yourself to a healthy snack.

F. But a whole bag only makes you put on weight easily.

G. Be careful of the health information on food packages.

One man’s white bread is another man’s green vegetables.

That’s the key from The Personalized Diet， new book from Israeli authors Eran Segal and Eran Elinav. The authors say it’s time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets don’t work， and for nutrition （營养）， it’s about doing what works best for your body， not （catch） the latest diet fashion. “For years， we have been trying to search that silver-bullet diet and we’ve been （lucky） failing，” Segal said. “And that’s because the （good） diet for each person really has to be adapted to that individual.”

They conducted a personalized nutrition project at Weizmann， hundreds of volunteers agreed （have） their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant （参与者） in the study， a woman （name） Ruti， said she was surprised that it was tomatoes—not ice cream or candies—that were raising her blood sugar level. Ruti recalled， “I have now reduced my intake of tomatoes and I’m feeling much more energetic， which still （surprise） me. I have already lost a couple of pounds， and I have （hope） that I have finally found the answer to my weight struggle， too.”

Organic （有机的） food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food， but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However， there are people who think it is a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals， such as pesticides （殺虫剂）. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.

Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic ingredients， such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today， many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious （有营养的）？ This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria （病毒）， such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money？ This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However， organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

1. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers？

A. Price.                         B. Safety.                       C. Freshness.                  D. Variety.

2. What is the doctors’ suggestion？

A. Growing your own food.                                 B. Limiting the use of pesticides.

C. Making sure the food is clean.                        D. Buying large companies’ products.

3. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food？

A. It tastes better.          B. It is easier to grow.   C. It contains more fat.  D. It is more nutritious.

4. Where does the text probably come from？

A. A recipe book.          B. A chemistry paper.   C. A medical report.      D. A health magazine.

Experts are warning about the risks of extremely picky eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss. Eye doctors in Bristol cared for the 17-year-old after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency （缺乏）. Dr Denize Atan， who treated him at the hospital， said， “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham， and not really any fruit and vegetables.”

The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B deficiency， but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later， he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss.

He was not overweight or underweight， but he had lost minerals from his bones. In terms of his sight loss， he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight，” said Dr Denize Atan. “That means he can’t drive and would find it really to read， watch TV or recognize faces.”

Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating， and turn to experts for help. “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating， and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal. It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet，” she said， adding that too many certain vitamins， including vitamin A， can be harmful， “so you don’t want to overdo it.”

5. What can we learn from Dr Denize Atan’s words in Paragraph 1？

A. The diet of the boy is unbalanced.

B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.

C. Picky eating is common among teenagers.

D. The cause of the boy’s problem is being investigated.

6. Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14？

A. To improve his diet.                                        B. To get help to lose weight.

C. To be treated for his discomfort.                     D. To slow down his sight loss.

7. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

A. Important.                 B. Useful.                       C. Necessary.                 D. Difficult.

8. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？

A. Reasons why the boy is ill.                              B. Advice for parents worried about picky eating.

C. Suggestions for the boy’s family.                   D. Ways of taking in enough vitamins and minerals.
