Never before in Chinese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm. Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹飪) landscape.

According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialties, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.

However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”

A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry is a typical description of “bad money driving out the good”.The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.

As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.

1.The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means________.

A. beautiful clothes B. latest technology

C. delicious food D. great inventions

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about______.

A. The popularity of the documentary

B. the content of the documentary

C. the history of Chinese gourmet

D. the producer of the documentary

3.We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that ______.

A. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture

B. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality

C. the price of food is too high for many common people

D. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director

4.According to the passage, China’s food industry is full of faking and cheating because_____.

A. there are still so many poor people at the present time

B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough

C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so

D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countries

1.C

2.A

3.B

4.B

【解析】

試題分析:“舌尖上的中國”——風(fēng)靡全國,讓我們感受到傳統(tǒng)美食的魅力,但我們也不能回避當(dāng)前中國社會所存在的食品安全問題。

1.C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)該段可知這個紀(jì)錄片片名為“A Bite of China”(舌尖上的中國),且該句中的介詞短語“across the vast Chinese culinary (烹飪) landscape.”(囊括了大量的中國美食),可知這個節(jié)目介紹的是好吃的食物。故該題正確答案為C.

2.A推理判斷題。通讀第二段可知,該段主要講述的是:就淘寶這個層面,讓大家了解到“舌尖上的中國”風(fēng)靡全國的影響力。故該段的段落大意應(yīng)為:A. The popularity of the documentary(紀(jì)錄片“舌尖上的中國”極為流行。)

3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)該段(第三段)中這篇廣受歡迎的文章所寫的“ I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”可知,在看了舌尖上的美食之后,很多人會感到空虛和嘆氣。因為我們在擁有傳統(tǒng)的舌尖上的美食的同時,還面對著嚴(yán)峻的食品安全問題。故該題正確答案為B. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality.即古老的飲食文化和當(dāng)今現(xiàn)實之間存在著巨大的落差。

4.B細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第四段中“The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light.”可知,中國市場充滿了假貨和欺騙是因為市場的巨大、假貨成本的低廉,此外對于那些不道德的、唯利是圖的商家的懲罰太輕了。故該題正確答案為B.而該題的干擾選項C.錯在謂語encourages,因為文中提到In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.(僅僅是放寬政策/法規(guī)),而非encourage鼓勵。

To the untrained eye it might seem like just a bit of a monkey trick. But when Milly the mandrill (山魈, 西非洲產(chǎn)的大狒狒) covers her face with her hand she is actually sending a serious message to her fellows: “Leave me alone!”

Experts believe the 15-year-old mandrill invented the gesture to warn other monkeys at Colchester Zoo to give her some space. And, surprisingly, the signal has been picked by other members of the group, who use it when they too require solitude.

Biologist Mark Laidre believes the behavior is evidence of social culture among the mandrills. Importantly, the sign language is unlikely to have been influenced by human activities because mandrills do not copy humans. Mr. Laidre expects further research will uncover other monkeys using cultural gestures — the ability to communicate with the hands in a meaningful way. “By covering their eyes with their hands, possibly conveyed to others that they wanted to be left alone and this message may have been respected as a ‘do not disturb’ sign,” said Mr. Laidre.

While the hand is in place, other monkeys are not likely to approach or touch the monkey. Those who rank lower in the social order also use the technique to avoid attacks from more powerful group members. As the discovery appears to be unique to Colchester Zoo, it suggests it is a local phenomenon that arose naturally in the community of 25 mandrills.

Curator (園長) Sarah Forsyth said: “We believe Milly made up the signal and over the past five years some of the younger mandrills have picked it up. We’re not sure why she started doing it but it could be as simple as ‘I can’t see them, so they can’t see me’. It really does show you how intelligent mandrills are.”

1. What’s the text mainly about?

A. How humans influenced monkeys.

B. A monkey invented a gesture.

C. A new social culture was discovered.

D. How experts made the new discovery.

2. What does the underlined word “solitude” in the second paragraph mean?

A. Aloneness. B. Comfort.

C. Protection. D. Respect.

3. According to Mark Laidre, _____.

A. human activities affect mandrills’ sign language

B. animals are slow in picking up information

C. mandrills’ social culture has nothing to do with humans

D. mandrills are the largest species of monkey in the world

4. The monkeys can also use the “do not disturb” sign to _____.

A. protect themselves from being harmed

B. struggle against more powerful group members

C. show humans how intelligent they are

5.What can be known from the text?

A. Milly invented the gesture when she was 15.

B. Mandrills are best known for their social ability.

C. Why Milly first used the sign language is known to experts.

D. Only the mandrills in Colchester Zoo use the gesture.

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free—that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.

That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better—and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much—although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

Love, Dad
