正如古人陈寿所说: “国以民为本, 民以食为天。”食物是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，它不仅关
乎生存，还具有文化和社会意义。
Food is an essential part of our lives, not just for survival but also for cultural and social reasons. In Italy,
pasta is more than just a dish. There are various types of pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, and ravioli. Each region
in Italy has its own unique pasta recipes and cooking styles. Spaghetti is often paired with tomato - based sauces,
while penne might go well with a meat - based sauce.
The Italians take great pride in their pasta - making traditions. Families pass down recipes from generation to
generation. Making pasta from scratch is a time - consuming but rewarding process. It involves mixing flour,
eggs, and sometimes water to create the dough, and then shaping it into different forms.
In contrast, Japanese cuisine is known for its fresh and delicate flavors. Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that
consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. The key to good sushi lies in the quality of the
ingredients. The fish needs to be extremely fresh, and the rice should be cooked to the perfect texture.
Moreover, food can also bring people together. In many cultures, sharing a meal is a way to strengthen
relationships. Whether it's a big family dinner in China during the Spring Festival or a barbecue with friends in the
United States, food plays an important role in social gatherings.
语篇翻译
食物是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，它不仅关乎生存，还具有文化和社会意义。在意大利，意大
利面不仅仅是一道菜肴。意大利面有多种类型，比如意大利细面条、直管面和意大利方形饺。意大利的
每个地区都有其独特的意大利面食谱和烹饪风格。意大利细面条通常搭配番茄酱，而直管面可能与肉酱
搭配得很好。
意大利人对他们制作意大利面的传统深感自豪。家庭将食谱代代相传。从零开始制作意大利面是一
个耗时但值得的过程。这包括将面粉、鸡蛋，有时还有水混合制成面团，然后将其塑造成不同的形状。
相比之下，日本料理以其新鲜和细腻的口味而闻名。寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其
他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。美味寿司的关键在于食材的质量。鱼需要非常新鲜，米饭的口感也要恰到好处。
此外，食物还能把人们聚集在一起。在许多文化中，共享一顿饭是加强人际关系的一种方式。无论
是中国春节期间的家庭聚餐，还是美国朋友间的烧烤聚会，食物在社交场合中都扮演着重要角色。
知识拓展
意大利面食文化：
意大利面食节每年都会举办，吸引来自世界各地的面食爱好者。意大利有超过600 种不同形状的意大
利面，每种形状都有其独特的搭配建议。除了文中提到的酱料搭配，意大利面还可以和橄榄油、大蒜、
香草等简单食材搭配出美味。
日本寿司文化：
日本有严格的寿司职人培养制度，一名合格的寿司师傅通常需要经过多年的学习和实践。除了常见的
握寿司、卷寿司，还有军舰寿司等不同类型。并且，日本的一些寿司店会使用季节性的食材来制作寿司
以保证最佳的口感和风味。
中国春节饮食文化：
春节期间，除了家庭聚餐，不同地区还有各自特色的美食。比如北方吃饺子，寓意新旧交替“更岁交
子”；南方吃年糕，象征着生活步步高。春节饮食文化还包含着团圆、祈福等美好寓意。
美国烧烤文化：
美国烧烤有多种风格，如德州烧烤以牛肉为主，卡罗莱纳烧烤则以猪肉为主。烧烤在美国不仅是一
种美食，更是一种社交活动，常常伴随着音乐、游戏等，是美国文化的重要组成部分。

(2025 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(1 月浙江卷)英语真题B)When I was a child I was often told
what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up
my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to
connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices
and often dissuade(劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my
heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents,
saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced
that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily
healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of
Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids
themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more
cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When
your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if
you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better
decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if
they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She is upset by her kids’ weight.
B. She is critical of the way she was fed.
C. She is interested in making food.
D. She is particular about what she eats.
25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?
A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally.
B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks.
D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
26. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A. Make diet decisions on their own.
B. Share their food with other kids.
C. Eat up what is provided for them.
D. Help their parents do the dishes.
27. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A. Costly.
B. Complex.
C. Workable.
D. Contradictory.

Passage 1
2025-2026 学年江苏省如皋市高三上学期第一次教学质量调研英语试题
A study published on June 28, 2024, found that consuming coffee might act like a placebo ( 安慰剂),
making drinkers feel ready to tackle the day.
Most coffee drinkers believe their morning cup makes them more alert due to its caffeine. This study aimed
to determine if this wakefulness is due to caffeine or the experience of drinking coffee.
“There is a common expectation that coffee increases alertness and psychomotor ( 精神运动的)
functioning,” said study co-author Nuno Sousa. “Understanding the mechanisms can open pathways for exploring
factors that may regulate it and its potential benefits.”
The study recruited (招募) participants who drank at least one cup of coffee per day. Participants avoided
caffeinated drinks for at least three hours before the study. They were interviewed and underwent two functional
MRI (fMRI) scans: one before consuming caffeine or coffee and the other 30 minutes after. During the fMRI
scans, participants were asked to relax and let their minds wander.
Results showed that connectivity in the default (默认) mode network decreased after drinking coffee or
taking caffeine, indicating that both substances made people more prepared to transition from rest to daily tasks.
However, coffee increased connectivity in the higher visual network and the right executive control network,
involved in working memory, cognitive control and goal-directed behavior. This increase did not occur with
caffeine alone, suggesting that to feel alert and ready to go, coffee is more effective than caffeine alone.
“In simple words, the subjects were more ready for action and alert to external stimuli after having coffee,”
said co-author Maria Pico Perez. The specific smell and taste of coffee or the psychological expectation associated
with drinking it might contribute to its unique effects.
1．What was the main purpose of the study?
A．To study potential benefits of coffee.
B．To identify the source of wakefulness.
C．To evaluate the best time to drink coffee.
D．To study the effects of caffeine on health.
2．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The process of the study.
B．The limitations of the study.
C．The implications of the study.
D．The requirement of the study.
3．What did the study find about the effects of drinking coffee on the brain?
A．It reduced alertness to external stimuli.
B．It weakened cognitive control networks.
C．It boosted connectivity in the default mode network.
D．It increased connectivity in the higher visual network.
4．What did the researchers suggest might play a role in the unique effects of coffee?
A．Where coffee is enjoyed.
B．What type of beans is used.
C．Its particular smell and flavor.
D．Individuals’ psychological state.
Passage 2

届贵州省遵义市高三上学期第一次适应性考试（一模）英语试卷
A new study published in Journal of Traditional Beverages found that daily moderate tea drinking can
lower cortisol (皮质醇) by up to 18% and reduce work-related tiredness by 25% among office workers. The
finding suggests that tea can be a simple yet effective way to relieve stress in fast-paced urban life. However,
many city residents struggle to brew (冲泡) quality tea due to limited experience, which makes it difficult to fully
enjoy these benefits.
The key to brewing perfect tea consistently lies in smart tea-brewing systems. These systems are equipped
with sensors that monitor water temperature, tea brewing time, and water volume, transmitting real-time data to a
mobile app. Users receive instant alerts, such as “Water temperature is higher than the best range for green tea” or
“Brewing time is sufficient,” making it easy even for beginners to master tea brewing. “Technology bridges the
gap between busy urban life and the slow enjoyment of traditional tea,” explains Dr. Min Li, lead researcher of the
study.
One well-known system, TeaSmart, has gained popularity in 10 major cities since 2024. Compared with
traditional brewing methods — where improper temperature often wastes 30% of tea leaves — TeaSmart delivers
precise conditions, increasing tea leaf utilization (利用率) by 60%. User surveys indicate that 85% of TeaSmart
users maintain the habit of daily tea drinking after six months, while only 40% of those using traditional teapots
do so.
Though smart systems simplify tea brewing, experts stress that patience and sensory experience remain
vital. “Tea tasting is about observing the color of the tea soup and smelling its fragrance,” notes Dr. Li. “Even with
technology, interacting with tea itself is part of the charm.” This combination of innovation and tradition makes
tea drinking a rewarding routine for city residents.
1．Why do many city residents find it hard to brew quality tea?
A．They lead a fast-paced life.
B．They struggle to make a living.
C．They are short of professional tools.
D．They are inexperienced in brewing tea.
2．How do smart tea-brewing systems assist beginners?
A．By promoting their tea brewing skills.
B．By providing live data to a mobile app.
C．By shortening the time of tea brewing.
D．By adjusting water temperature in time.
3．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning TeaSmart?
A．To improve tea leaf utilization.
B．To keep the habit of drinking tea.
C．To compare it with traditional brewing.
D．To prove the advantages of smart systems.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Smart Brewing: Enhancing the Fragrance of Tea
B．Smart Brewing: Replacing Traditional Tea Brewing
C．Smart Brewing: Simplifying the Steps of Tea Brewing
D．Smart Brewing: Bridging Urban Life and Tea Enjoyment

Your doctor may have given you a warning about your blood pressure or blood sugar levels creeping
higher, if you’re not to control one or both of them. Your doctor may also have told you that reducing your intake
of sodium (钠) and added sugars can help improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels, respectively.
1
.
Start reading labels. “The Nutrition Facts label on food packaging makes it easy to see exactly how much
sodium and added sugars are in each serving,” says Vadiveloo, an associate professor of nutrition and food
sciences.
Cook more at home. Most of the sodium in our diet comes from processed foods and restaurant meals.
2
. Cut out one restaurant meal a day or week in favor of home cooking and you can save yourself thousands
of milligrams of sodium and many grams of added sugar.
3
. While some people are able to cut down on salt and sugar quickly, others might need to take a
more gradual approach. It may be more practical to give your taste buds time to adjust to the change. For instance,
if you typically add 2 teaspoons of sugar to your coffee, reduce it to 1. 5 teaspoons, then 1, then 0. 5 over a week
or two.
4
. Try low-sodium soup or pasta sauce.
Don’t aim for perfection. “Making changes can be challenging,” Vadiveloo says. Every day and every meal
are a new opportunity to cut back.
5
, don’t beat yourself up or assume you can’t stick with this new
dietary approach long-term. You’ll get better over time.
A．Go slow
B．Find sweet alternatives
C．If you do have a salty or sugary meal
D．The same subtle shifts work for sodium
E．Even if you often go out to eat with your friends
F．Here’s what you can do to reduce your intake of these two common ingredients
G．Anything pre-prepared at the grocery store will also probably have added sodium

2025-2026 学年度广东省高三上学期八校联盟质量检测（一）英语试题
Research presented suggests that people who eat slowly are less likely than speed-eaters to become
overweight or to develop metabolic syndrome (代谢综合征), which involves a variety of conditions associated
with stroke, heart disease and diabetes. 1
In 2008, Japanese researchers, led by Hiroshima University cardiologist Dr Takayuki Yamaji, hired over
1,000 healthy Japanese adults.
2
At the same time, the researchers tracked these adults’ health for the next
five years.
Eighty-four people were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome during those five years, with a clear
connection between eating speed and development of the disease. The incidence rate was 11.6% among fast
eaters, 6.5% among normal eaters and just 2.3% among slow eaters.
3
Moreover, they had more chance to
suffer from higher blood sugar.
4
In reality, a lot of research has shown that eating fast is associated with weight gain and other
health issues. “You probably do eat more because you are eating so quickly. You really don’t have any idea of
what you’ve eaten,” says American Heart Association spokesperson Dr Nieca Goldberg. “When you eat slowly,
you are much more aware of your eating. You are chewing your food properly and you’re also slowing down
digestion.”
Goldberg says that it should take at least 30 minutes to eat a meal.
5
Goldberg suggests eating with
a friend, cutting your food into smaller pieces, chewing more, taking deep breaths and setting your fork down
between bites.
A．Doing so also helps you feel full.
B．Those results aren’t all that surprising.
C．Eat in a situation where it’s beneficial to eating.
D．The speedy eaters were also more likely to weigh more.
E．This shows that when it comes to eating, slow and steady wins the race.
F．So, if you tend to eat fast, you’ll likely need to train yourself to slow down.
G．They asked the adults to characterize their eating speed — slow, normal or fast.

Every morning before work, my colleague and I have a routine. Right across from our office is a small
family-owned breakfast shop run by a friendly couple. Their little shop isn’t fancy, but the food is exceptional, and
it’s become our go-to spot to grab something to eat before the day gets busy.
The shop has a simple yet delicious menu: steamed buns, xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), steamed
dumplings, and sometimes even a bowl of savory zhajiangmian (noodles with fried sauce). Everything is
incredibly tasty, and every item we try has its special taste that keeps us coming back for more. But there’s one
item we both love above all others: the beef buns.
The beef buns are like a treasure we’re always hunting. Perfectly soft, filled with juicy beef, and just the
right amount of seasoning-they’re everything you could want in a breakfast bun. But the problem is, we’re not the
only ones who think so. The beef buns are always in high demand, and they sell out quickly. In fact, if we manage
to get one even once out of five visits, it feels like we’ve struck gold. And if there’s only one left when we order,
we always face the dilemma (窘境) of who gets it.
Over time, we developed a system for sharing the precious beef bun. If there’s only one left, we take turns
eating it. I’d have it this time, and she’d get it the next. Typically, as soon as we enter the shop, one of us will ask,
“Do you have beef buns today?” If the answer is no, we settle for another item from the menu, though secretly
hoping that one day we’ll find an unlimited supply of our favorite treat.
This morning, however, things were different. As we stepped into the shop, we noticed that the
shopkeeper’s wife, who’s usually busy managing orders and cooking, had spotted us right away.

We both looked at the buns and then at each other, hardly believing our luck.
