问答题
English food has a bad reputation abroad. This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged to eat in the more “popular” type of restaurant. Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large quantities, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment, is quite satisfactory. Still, it is rather dull and not always attractively presented. Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry—at least at lunch—and a meal eaten in a leisurely manner in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable than a meal taken hastily in a business-like atmosphere. In general, it is possible to get an adequate meal at a reasonable price; in fact, such a meal may be less expensive than similar food abroad. For those with money to spare, there are restaurants that compare favourably with the best in any country.

irradiating（照射）fruits, vegetable, pork and chicken to kill insects and bacteria has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration over the past decade or so.Irradiation of other meats, such as beef and lamb,is being reviewed.Federal approval dose not require that industry adopt the process,and few food processors presently offer irradiated products.
Market studies have shown that many consumers are afraid that eating irradiated food may cause cancer,despite scientific studies that prove the safety of treated food.Some people argue that more severe government inspection,higher food-safety standards,and more careful food-preparation practices by consumers are all that is needed to ensure that food is safe.Consequently,companies currently see no need to spend millions of dollars outfitting（配备）processing plants with the equipment necessary for a process that very few shoppers are in favor of.
All supermarkets that sell irradiated food must label that food either directly on the packaging or in the case of bulk items like fruits and vegetables by placing a sign nearby. There is no requirement for the labeling of irradiated food served by chain restaurants or hospitals that buy directly from distributors,nor any regulations for products that contain irradiated ingredients.
Presently,the FDA allows food to be treated with three types of radiation一gamma rays,highenergy electrons,and X-rays,and sets limits on doses（辐射量）depending on the type of food. The principle is that the dose to be used for a certain type of food should not exceed the amount that is sufficient to kill most harmful insects and bacteria present in it.Different types of food,because of their different molecular（分子）compositions,may require different doses of radiation.Which of the following statements about the consumers' attitude toward irradiated foods is NOT true?
A:Many consumers are afraid that irradiated foods may cause cancer.
B:Some consumers are doubtful of the safety of irradiated foods.
C:Some consumers suggest a more severe government inspection be taken.
D:Most consumers welcome the food processing companies outfitted with irradiated equipment.答案：D解析：推理判断题。本题考查对review一词的理解。从文章第一段第一句可知，有些经过辐射处理的食品已被FDA认可；从第二句的being reviewed可知有些食品仍然正在评估中。所以选项A、B、D都太绝对或概括过度，均不正确。

词义推断题。根据上下文，特别是outfit和equipment两个词，可知是为 processing plants配备设备。因此，可推断出processing plants指的是“食品加工厂”。

第4题：
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.
What are nitrates used for?a.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.

Passage 2
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 illness 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 prone to contract certain illness because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.
That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, 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 poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal 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.
It can inferred from the passage that___.A. Scientists have made all the food fit to eat.
B. Only in recent years have people found that the food is related to one’s illness.
C. All kinds of cancer are related to the diet.
D. Some additives are harmful to our health.答案：D解析： -

Food Poisoning
Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things,A person who eats such food can get an illness called
food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious,but some types are deadly.The symptoms of food poi-
soning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms
can poison eggs,meat,vegetables,and many other foods.After entering the body,these tiny living things re-
lease（释放）poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown,pro-
cessed,or prepared.For example,many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.Some
people may have a bad reaction to those chemical、when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.These includo certain kinds
of seafood,grains,nuts,seeds,beans,and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly,the risk of food poisoning is very small.Microorganisms multiply rapidly
in dirty places and in warm temperatures.This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or
put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing,
Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered
with chemicals before eating it.Finally,people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the
wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition,some types
of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people
eat natural poisons,they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.From Paragraph 5,we can learn that_______________.
A:mushrooms should not he eaten
B:vegetables are safer than meat and seafood
C:natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals
D:different types of food should he handled differently答案：D解析：该题目考查关于食物中毒的描述。通读全文，可知第一段对食物中毒做了一个简单的 介绍。由第一段第三句“食物中毒通常并不严重，但有些也是致命的”可知D选项表述与原文 一致，B选项“食物中毒就意味着死亡”太绝对，与原文表述不符。从该段第四、五句可知食物 中毒会有很多的症状，最常见的是发烧，由此可知A选项表述正确。从第二段第一句可知食物 中毒也有很多种类，因此C选项表述与原文一致。据此分析，表述错误的只有B选项，因此为正确答案。
根据题目中关键词symptoms迅速定位至第一段最后两句话“食物中毒的症状往往在吃 完食物数小时内就会出现、发烧是最常见的一个症状。”由此可知，A选项表述与原文不一致， C选项表述与原文相符。B、D选项未提及。因此止确答案为C。
该题目考查引起食物中毒的原因。通读全文可知第二段至第四段讨论了什么东西会 引起食物中毒——微生物、化学制品及一些含有天然毒素的植物和动物。C 、A、D兰个选项分 别与之对应。而由第五段“Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing." 可知low temperature、不会导致food poisoning。因此正确答案为B。
根据题目可迅速定位到第五段，由文中的“肉类需彻底烹调以杀灭有毒的微生物。覆 盖有化学物质的食物食用前要清洗：最后，人们不应该吃野生蘑菇或其他野生食物……”可以 推测出D选项表述正确。而A选项表述太绝对，B、C选项则无细节支持。
通读全文可知该篇文章讨论了食物中毒的症状、原因及如何降低食物中毒的风险。由 第五段第一句和最后一段可推测出C选项表述与原文意思相符，D选项表述错误。由第四段 可知天然物质也会引起食物中毒，因此A选项与原文表述不一致。B选项文中未提及。据此 分析正确答案为C。第二篇 本文主要介绍了核辐射危害的严重性、潜伏性和长期性。 -

第12题：
问答题English food has a bad reputation abroad. This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged to eat in the more “popular” type of restaurant. Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large quantities, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment, is quite satisfactory. Still, it is rather dull and not always attractively presented. Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry—at least at lunch—and a meal eaten in a leisurely manner in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable than a meal taken hastily in a business-like atmosphere. In general, it is possible to get an adequate meal at a reasonable price; in fact, such a meal may be less expensive than similar food abroad. For those with money to spare, there are restaurants that compare favourably with the best in any country.正确答案：
英国食品在海外的名声不好。这很可能是因为去英国的外国人不得不常在更“大众化”的餐馆里用餐的缘故。在那里,必须大量迅速地备餐,因此饭菜的味道必然逊色,尽管在营养方面,饭菜质量还是令人满意的。可是饭菜仍然显得单调,颜色花样也常常不大讲究。此外,在价钱便宜或适中的饭店里用餐的英国人,通常是来去匆匆——至少午餐是如此——而在舒适的环境中从容就餐要比在生意氛围较浓的环境里匆匆忙忙地吃饭更有乐趣。一般来说,花不多的钱吃上一顿饱饭是可能的。事实上,同样的饭菜比国外或许还要便宜些。对于手头有富余的人来说,英国有一些饭店和国外最好的饭店相比还要划算。解析： 暂无解析 -

Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illness because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.

The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal 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.
