(2020·安徽省五校联考)We humans are addicted to sugar. That makes sense. All animals need sugar to live. It’s the fuel that powers our cells. So it’s not surprising that we’re born to want the sweet stuff.
Sugar stores the sun’s energy like a battery. After a meal, your body breaks down foods into their building blocks. It uses some sugar for energy right away. The rest get stored for the body to break down later. It’s a myth that sugar makes you extremely excited, but having a sugary snack can give you a quick burst of energy. That’s because the sugar in sweet foods is easy for your body to turn into fuel. When you eat other kinds of foods, like vegetables, it takes longer for your body to break the sugar down.
These days it’s easy to find sweet snacks. Sodas, candy, cakes and even foods that seem healthy, such as yogurt, can be packed with sugar. Food makers add sugar, because they know that to humans, sweet makes everything taste better. Americans eat about 20 teaspoons of extra sugar every day. That’s way more than what is good for us.
Eating too much sugar can cause more than a stomachache. It can make people overweight, decay the teeth and even cause diabetes. However, experts aren’t worried about naturally sweet foods —the problem is added sugar. So go ahead and enjoy sweet apples or even sugar-rich carrots that are also full of vitamins and other good stuff.
Even cake is great once in a while, as long as you don’t overdo it. After all, no one wants life to be dull. And your body needs its fuel!

(2020·重庆一中月考) A large-scale study has found a link between eating a diet based on organic food and having a reduced risk of cancer. If the new results are confirmed, promoting organic food consumption could be a promising preventative strategy against the disease, a team of researchers from several French institutions said.
Among the environmental risks for cancer, there are growing concerns about exposure to
different types of pesticides (杀虫剂) from farming. The impact of such chemicals on the human body is still not well understood but there are some indications that harmful effects can occur even at low concentrations.
Meanwhile, pushed by environmental and health concerns, the organic food market continues to grow rapidly. Organic food is produced without the use of synthetic (合成的) fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms, and the use of veterinary (兽医的) medications.
“Organic food is less likely to contain pesticide remains than conventional food, and studies have shown that an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticide，”Julia Baudry, the lead
author of the study from the Center of Research in Epidemiology and Statistics in France, told Ne w s w eek.
“In the general popu lation, the primary route of exposure is diet, especially intake of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. However, few studies have examined the association of organic food consumption with cancer risk.”
For the study, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, a team of researchers examined data on the organic food consumption frequency and dietary intake of 68,946 French adults collected by an ongoing survey which began in 2009. They then followed up on these people at various points in the future.
Participants reported how often (never, occasionally or most of the time) they consumed 16 types of organic food including fruits, vegetables, soy-based products, dairy products, meat and fish, eggs, grains and legumes, bread and cereals, flour, vegetable oil and condiments, ready-to-eat meals, coffee, tea, and herbal tea, wine，biscuits, chocolate, sugar and so on.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。来自法国的科研团队经过大量研究发现，有机食物因其杀虫剂、农药等有害物质残留较少，与降低癌症风险之间存在一定的联系。
5．What is the finding of the study?
A．Processed food consumption may lead to an increased risk of cancer.
B．Promoting organic food consumption may help to prevent diseases.
C．Organic food consumption can help cure cancer in a short time.
D．Eating a diet based on organic food may lead to the risk of cancer.
解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知，研究表明食用有机食品能减少患癌的风险，如果这一结果得到证实，那么提倡食用有机食品有望成为预防癌症的一种策略。
6．Why is organic food becoming popular nowadays?
A．Organic food can cure diseases.
B．Organic food market continues to grow rapidly.
C．People care about environment and health issues.
D．Organic food is produced in a clean environment.
解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“pushed by environmental and health concerns, the organic food market continues to grow rapidly”可知，人们对环境和健康问题的担忧推动了有机食品市场的快速发展。
7．Which of the following is the advantage of organic food?
A．Organic food never contains harmful pesticide remains.
B．Organic food is less likely to be exposed to some pesticides.
C．Different types of pesticides won’t affect organic food.
D．Organic food won’t be influenced by outside environment.
解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Organic food is less likely to contain pesticide remains than conventional food”及“an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticide”可知，有机食物里杀虫剂的残留量比传统食物里的要少，所以有机食物接触到某些杀虫剂的可能性较小。
8．What might the article go on describing after the last paragraph?
A．The researching process of the study.
B．The disadvantages of organic food.
C．The bright future of organic food.
D．Other researches on organic food.
解析：选A推理判断题。最后一段介绍的是参与调查研究的受试者所食用的食物，可以判断接下来应介绍该项研究的过程。

(2020·河南洛阳、许昌、平顶山三市联合质检)There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes.However, the food does not remain exactly the same.Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries.Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should not only embrace our heritage (遗产) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章从食物与文化的关系的角度出发，认为传统食物是文化的重要组成部分，它也是文化认同的表现和了解文化的窗口。

A．To help motivate homesickness.
B．To show national identity.
C．To reflect a country’s history.
D．To show a community’s superiority.
解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.”可知，食物是文化认同的一种表现，其中的culture identity对应B项中的national identity。
10．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The specific traditional food.
B．The national culture.
C．A traditional expression of food.
D．The old-fashioned taste.
解析：选A代词指代题。根据第二段第一句中的“traditional food is an important part of culture”可知，本段围绕传统食物展开，讲述的是传统食物的作用。后文提到不管移民者走到哪里，他们都会带上传统食物，传统食物是一种为本国文化而骄傲的象征以及缓解思乡之情的手段。由此可知，it指的是传统食物(traditional food)。
11．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants?
A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C．To make the dishes popular among customers.
D．To present their own food culture in a new way.
解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them ...to cater to a wider range of customers.”可知，一些移民不得不改变他们餐馆原有的菜肴，这是为了迎合来自不同国家的顾客(的口味)，从而使他们的菜肴受到顾客欢迎。
12．What’s the author’s attitude toward different food cultures?
A．Negative.B．Balanced.
