Dear John，
Learning that you are going to introduce Chinese food in class，I can’t wait to expand
on it to you.
As we all know，Chinese food enjoys a worldwide reputation for its diversity and cultural
value，which impresses people from all over the world.It is usually divided into eight main
cuisines，varying from Sichuan cuisine to Su cuisine，each of which shares a long history but
has its own uniqueness.Among the numerous dishes Kung Pao Chicken is out of this world，
which I’d like to recommend to you most.Its procedure is relatively simple，making it one of
the most common home-made dishes.Not only does it have a wonderful taste，but its inviting
look and unique smell also enhance its popularity.
I hope my introduction can do the trick and I’m looking forward to hearing from you about
your presentation.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Comfort food makes a person feel good.Food high in sugar or fat tends to improve mood by
stimulating the brain’s reward system.So it makes sense that many of us may turn to food for
comfort in times of stress.There’s some fascinating research that examines food as a source of
comfort.However，the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less
comforting than we tend to believe they are.
Traci Mann，a professor of psychology，and colleagues conducted a series of study with
college students.The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve mood.They
provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top personal
comfort foods.After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to
increase their sadness，anger and anxiety，the researchers offered the students their comfort food.
They had to assess(评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by
ice cream，pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better.All of the students
completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food
and once when they were able to eat another food they liked，but they wouldn’t call a comfort
food.The researchers found that comfort food did improve students’ moods—but only by a little
bit and not more than the other food they liked.
In another study，comfort food was compared to no food at all，and students’ moods
seemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything—most likely just due to the passage of
time.
The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel
better for the time being，it does little to address emotional problems.Of course，everyone can
indulge(沉溺) in a comfort food from time to time，but overall，aim for these instances to be the
exception rather than the rule.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。本文首先介绍了Traci Mann教授及其团队发现安慰食物远
没有人们相信的那样具有安慰效果，随后提出了不应过度依赖安慰食物来解决情绪问题的建
议。
1．Which aspect of comfort food do Traci Mann’s studies focus on?
A．The means by which it affects mood.
B．Its role in reducing negativity.
C．The extent to which it lifts mood.
D．Its impact on physical health.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Traci Mann...conducted a series of study with...The
researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve mood.”可知，Traci Mann的研

One research suggests that as much as 25% of apples,20% of onions and 13% of potatoes
grown in the UK are destroyed because they don’t look right.This means that producers’ efforts
to meet stringent specifications from buyers can lead to perfectly eatable produce being thrown
away before it even leaves the farm simply because of how it looks.
In recent years there has been a growing trend of selling such “ugly” fruit and
vegetables，both by major supermarket chains，as well as special retailers(零售商) that sell boxes
of such produce.And research has shown that 87% of people say they would eat imperfect fruit and
vegetables if they were available.But other research indicates consumers can still be picky and
difficult to predict.One study showed consumers are likely to throw away an apple with a spot，but
would eat a bent cucumber.
So how can producers and retailers boost the amount of non-standard fruit and help that not
only reaches our shelves，but also our plates? Our recent research suggests a specific channel for
selling ugly produce would increase profits for growers，lower prices for consumers and boost
overall demand for produce.Our research also shows that selling the ugly produce in this way is
likely to increase total demand for fruit and vegetables，while also decreasing on-farm loss.
However，the growing market for ugly fruit and vegetables could be an economic threat to
traditional retailers.It encourages new businesses into the market and could also limit the
availability of “regular” produce because growers could become less stringent about ensuring
produce meets traditional outside standards.
But there is a way for traditional retailers to add ugly produce into their product offerings
alongside other produce without affecting their profits.By building on existing consumer awareness
of the environmental benefits of ugly food，they could also compete in this growing market.This
would possibly lead to less food waste and shortages.

5．What does the underlined part “stringent specifications” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Urgent needs.
B．Tight schedules.
C．Strict standards.
D．Temporary requirements.答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“This means that producers’ efforts to meet stringent
specifications from buyers can lead to perfectly eatable produce being thrown away before it even
leaves the farm simply because of how it looks.”可知，生产者为满足买家的严格要求所做的
努力可能会导致完全可食用的农产品在离开农场之前就被扔掉，而原因就只是(农产品的)卖
相(不好)。由此推断画线部分“stringent specifications”意为“严格的标准”。故选C。
6．What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．People are no longer particular about their food.
B．Most people accept imperfect fruit and vegetables.
C．“Ugly” fruit and vegetables are sold at lower prices.
D．87% of the customers prefer good-looking vegetables.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And research has shown that 87% of people say they would
eat imperfect fruit and vegetables if they were available.”可知，87%的受访者表示愿意吃不完
美的水果和蔬菜，因此可推断，大多数人是接受外表不完美的水果和蔬菜的。故选B。
7．What is the influence of selling ugly produce?
A．Ruining people’s appetite.
B．Reducing “regular” produce.
C．Discouraging vegetable growers.
D．Resulting in unfair competition.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However，the growing market for ugly fruit and
vegetables...It encourages new businesses into the market and could also limit the availability of
‘regular’ produce...”可知，销售品相差的农产品会有可能减少“常规”农产品的供应数
量。故选B。
8．In which section of a newspaper is this passage most likely to appear?
A．Market. B．Recycling.
C．Health. D．Science.
答案 A
解析 文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了销售品相差的农产品会带来的好处及问
题，由此推断文章最可能出现在“市场”栏目。故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五
You’ve probably heard of a hybrid(杂交物种)in films or books.The centaurs in the Harry
Potter films are hybrids of human and horse. 1
Hybridization occurs in both plants and animals. 2 What’s more，many plants thatpeople eat，from strawberries to carrots，corn and potatoes，have been created by hybridization.
Cross-breeding(杂交) sometimes occurs when animals’ normal territory overlaps(部分重
叠)． 3 The grolar bear is a hybrid that happens when grizzly and polar bears mate.As the
environment warms，grizzlies in Alaska and Canada wander further north，bringing them into
contact with polar bears.
Artificial mixing often happens in zoos，where different species that don’t normally meet in
the wild can be introduced to each other.Ligers(lion and tiger hybrids) are unlikely to occur in
nature，because the only place that their habitats overlap is the Gir Forest in India. 4 Mixed
species are more likely to be born with health issues than other animals.Most hybrids born in zoos
are infertile，which means they are unable to have babies.However，many cross-breeds born in
the wild，like the grolar bear，can have their own babies.
5 “It’s part of the evolutionary process，” he says.Fertile hybrids can lead to the
creation of a new species and increase the variety of living things.
A．Wildlife conservation is of significance.
B．Did you know hybridization is a biological process?
C．That’s due to habitat destruction or changing climate.
D．Did you know that hybrids appear in the natural world，too?
E．Jimmy believes species hybridization in nature is a good thing.
F．Many conservationists think that creating hybrids is a bad thing.
G．Living things，especially plants，will naturally hybridize in the wild.
1．答案 D
解析 根据上文“《哈利·波特》系列电影中的半人马是人和马的杂交物种”以及下文“杂
交在动植物界都会发生”可知，空处起着承上启下的作用，D项(你知道自然世界里也有杂
交物种吗？)符合语境。故选D。
2．答案 G
解析 下文提到许多植物都是通过杂交培育出来的，可知本段主要谈论植物的杂交，G项
(生物，尤其是植物，会在野外自然杂交)中“especially plants”与下文有对应关系，符合语
境。故选G。
3．答案 C
解析 根据上文“杂交有时发生在动物的领地重叠的时候”以及下文说到北极灰熊是杂交后
代并指出气候变暖可知，C项(这是由于栖息地破坏或气候变化)中“That’s due to”指代上
文“Cross-breeding(杂交)sometimes occurs”的发生条件，并引出下文举例说明发生领地重叠
的原因，符合语境。故选C。
4．答案 F
解析 下文指出，混合物种出生时有可能带有健康问题，可推断此处是对杂交的消极看法，可知F项(许多环保主义者认为创造杂交物种是一件坏事)中“a bad thing”与下文“health
issues”有对应关系，符合语境。故选F。
5．答案 E
解析 下文提到有繁殖能力的杂交物种可以导致新物种的产生，并增加生物的种类，结合
“he says”可知，此处是一个人对杂交的积极态度和看法，E项(吉米相信自然界中的物种
杂交是一件好事)中“a good thing”与下文的“lead to the creation”以及“increase the
variety”形成对应关系，符合语境。故选E。

语篇解读 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章中作者结合自己的切身经历阐述了春节外出就餐是一
种省心省力但依然充满爱的吃团圆饭的方式。
1．答案 to celebrate
解析 考查非谓语动词。空处作后置定语修饰tradition，应用不定式。故填to celebrate。
2．答案 have eaten
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据“for the last three years”可知，时态应用现在完成
时，主语为We，与所给动词eat之间为主动关系，且We为第一人称复数，助动词用have。
故填have eaten。
3．答案 why
解析 考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少原因状语，故用 why引导。故填
why。
4．答案 preparations
解析 考查名词复数。preparation在此表示“准备工作”，为可数名词，根据后文are可知
用复数形式。故填preparations。
5．答案 it
解析 考查固定句型。此处为句型：it is worth the effort of表示“值得……”。故填it。
6．答案 after
解析 考查连词。空处引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之后”，应用after。故填after。
7．答案 relaxing
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处为固定用法spend time (in) doing sth“花费时间做某事”，故
用现在分词。故填relaxing。8．答案 enjoyable
解析 考查形容词。空处作表语，表示“愉快的”应用enjoyable。故填enjoyable。
9．答案 makes
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。空处为主句谓语动词，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为
what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve，谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填makes。
10．答案 the
解析 考查冠词。此处为短语the same表示“一样”。故填the。

假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Johnny对中国美食很感兴趣，他想让你推荐一种中国传
统美食。请给他回信，内容包括：
1．推荐的美食；
2．推荐的理由；
3．希望有机会来中国品尝美食。
范文补全
Dear Johnny，
Knowing that you’re interested in Chinese food，I’d like to recommend you dumplings.
The reasons for my recommendation are as follows.1.Considered as a Chinese cultural
symbol ， dumplings are a kind of traditional food loved by people almost everywhere in China (被
公认为中国文化的象征，饺子是几乎中国每个地方的人都喜欢的一种传统食物).2.Just as an
old saying goes(正如俗话所说)，“Nothing tastes better than dumplings.” Dumplings are easy
to make and they are delicious.3.What usually goes inside dumplings is cabbage and pork or
something else(通常饺子里面是白菜和猪肉或者其他东西).4. More importantly ， home-made
dumplings are often associated with homesickness ， as flavors and fillings vary from family to
family(更重要的是，家里做的饺子通常和思乡有关，因为各家的味道和馅儿都不一样)．
I hope you can come to China to taste Chinese food some day.
Yours，
Li Hua
