B.Obtaining.C.Learning. D.Recycling.解析B詞義揣測(cè)題。由第三段中的"usetheinsects’excrement(糞便)foragriculture"可知,該公司把黑水虻的糞便應(yīng)用于農(nóng)業(yè),再結(jié)合下文可知,該公司還從黑水虻的外骨骼中獲得了抗菌生物材料。由此可推知,該公司從黑水虻身上獲得的不只是與農(nóng)業(yè)相關(guān)的產(chǎn)品,故畫線詞的含義應(yīng)是"獲得",B項(xiàng)切題。3.Whatcanbeinferredaboutchitosan?A.Ithasawiderangeofuses.B.ItbringsfewprofitstoInsectta.C.Ithasbeenappliedtomasks.D.Itisfoundinthefly’sexcrement.解析A推理推斷題。由最終一段中的"usedinmakeupandmedicine""fortheuseofthechitosaninitsskincareproducts...tomakeanantimicrobiallayerwithinitsproducts"可知,這種抗菌材料可用于化妝品和藥物中,也可用于護(hù)膚產(chǎn)品中,還可用于口罩的抗菌層。由此可知,這種抗菌材料用途廣泛,故選A。4.Whichisthebesttitleforthetext?A.InsectsprovideawaytorecyclefoodwasteB.NewtechnologyisdevelopedtofightfoodwasteC.InsecttaisusinginsectstoturnwasteintotreasureD.Singaporeisbenefitingfromtheinsect-basedindustry解析C標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知,文章的主要內(nèi)容是:世界上每年都有大量的食物被奢侈,新加坡的一家名為Insectta的公司利用黑水虻解決食品廢棄物,把黑水虻的糞便應(yīng)用于農(nóng)業(yè),還從黑水虻的外骨骼中提取出了可用于化妝品和藥品等的材料。C項(xiàng)做標(biāo)題最佳。B[科技創(chuàng)新/]DinersinJapanmaysoonbeabletocuttheirsaltintakewithoutneedingtosacrifice(犧牲)flavor.Researchersrecentlyannouncedtheydevelopedelectricchopsticksthatincreasesaltinessoffoods.Co-developedbyMeijiUniversityprofessorHomeiMiyashitaanddrinkproducerKirinHoldingsCompany,Limited,thechopsticksimprovetastesusingelectricalstimulationandamini-computerattachedtoawrist."Thedeviceusesaweakelectricalcurrenttosendsodiumions(鈉離子)fromfood,throughthechopsticks,tothemouthwheretheycreateasenseofsaltiness,"saidMiyashita."Asaresult,thesaltytasteincreasesby1.5times."Thetaste-improvingchopsticksmayhaveparticularrelevancetothetraditionaldietinJapan,whichtendstobehighinsalt.TheaverageJapaneseadulteatsabout10gramsofsalteachday.ThatisalmosttwotimestheamountsuggestedbytheWorldHealthOrganization.Highsodiumintakeislinkedtoincreasedcasesofhighbloodpressure,strokesandotherconditions."Topreventthesediseases,weneedtoreducetheamountofsaltwetake,"saidKirinresearcherAiSato.SatoaddedthatifJapanesepeopletrytoreducesaltintakeintheusualways,theywillneedtocutmanyoftheirfavoritefoodsfromtheirdiet.Otherwise,theywouldhavetoeatflavorlessfood."Iwanttooverturntheideathatlowsaltmeansnoflavor,"Miyashitadeclared."Thechopsticksmakeitpossibletokeepenjoyingthefoodswelove,andinahealthierway."Hewasconfidentthatthechopstickscanhelppeoplemakebetterdecisionsabouttheirdietandhopedtohavethemreadytosellasearlyasnextyear.Miyashitaandhisresearchteamhaveexploreddifferentwaysthattechnologycaninteractwithhumansenses.Hehasalsodevelopedatelevisionscreenthatapersoncanlick(舔)totastedifferentfoodflavors.Meanwhile,researchisalsounderwaytodevelopothereatingtoolswithspecialfunctionslikeelectricspoonsandforksusingtechnology.本文是說明文。日本的傳統(tǒng)飲食鹽味較重,過量的鈉的攝入增加了日本人患高血壓、中風(fēng)和其他相關(guān)疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。最近,日本的探討人員獨(dú)創(chuàng)了一種電動(dòng)筷子,這種筷子可以在不額外增加食物的鹽含量的同時(shí)增加食物的咸味?!驹~語積累】intaken.(食物、飲料等的)攝取量,吸入量relevancen.關(guān)聯(lián),有關(guān)overturnv.推翻underwayadj.在進(jìn)行中的【熟詞生義】1.current常用義:adj.當(dāng)前的,現(xiàn)在的文中義:n.電流2.condition常用義:n.狀況,狀態(tài)文中義:n.(因不行能治愈而長期患有的)疾病1.Whowouldprobablybeinterestedintheelectricchopsticks?A.Thosestickingtoabalanceddiet.B.Thosehavingeatingdisorders.C.Thosepreferringhomemadefood.D.Thosewantingtotakeinlesssalt.解析D微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段中的"DinersinJapanmaysoonbeabletocuttheirsaltintake"可知,這種電動(dòng)筷子對(duì)想要削減鹽攝入量的人有吸引力,故D項(xiàng)正確。2.WhyistraditionalJapanesedietmentioned?A.TointroducewhatJapanesedietislike.B.Tostresshowimportantchopsticksareforit.C.ToshowwhatinfluenceithasontheJapanese.D.Toexplainwhyelectricchopsticksareinvented.解析D推理推斷題。由題干中的"traditionalJapanesediet"可將解題信息定位至第三段。由本段對(duì)日本傳統(tǒng)飲食的介紹可知,日本的傳統(tǒng)飲食鹽味較重。一般的日本成年人每天攝入的鹽量幾乎是世界衛(wèi)生組織建議的兩倍。高鈉攝入量與高血壓、中風(fēng)和其他疾病病例的增加有關(guān)。假如日本人以平常的方式削減鹽的攝入,他們將須要舍棄很多他們寵愛的食物。否則,他們將不得不吃寡淡無味的食物。再結(jié)合上文中提到的電動(dòng)筷子可以增加食物的咸味可推知,文中提及日本傳統(tǒng)飲食是為了說明探討人員獨(dú)創(chuàng)電動(dòng)筷子的緣由。綜上可知,本題選D。3.WhatdoesMiyashitaexpectoftheelectricchopsticks?A.They’llreachconsumersinthenearfuture.B.They’llhelpchangepeople’seatinghabits.C.They’llbedevelopedintovariousversions.D.They’llinspireawholenewlineofresearch.解析A微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)其次段中的"thechopstickscanhelppeople...hopedtohavethemreadytosellasearlyasnextyear"可知,本題選A。4.Whatisthetextmainlyabout?A.Benefitsoflow-sodiumdiets.B.ImprovementstotheJapanesediet.C.Electricchopsticksincreasingsaltytaste.D.Aninventionmakingfoodmoredelicious.解析C主旨大意題。結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容,尤其是第一段中的"Researchersrecentlyannouncedtheydevelopedelectricchopsticksthatincreasesaltinessoffoods"可知,本文主要介紹的是探討者獨(dú)創(chuàng)的一種能夠增加食物咸味的電動(dòng)筷子,故C項(xiàng)正確。二、七選五OnourseconddayinChina,we’dalreadybeenaskedtojointheschoolforsupper.Nervousandunsureofthefoodandtablemanners,wepolitelyagreed.1Andnowmyfirstdiningexperiencewouldbewiththeschoolstaff.Comparedwiththerestaurantsinmyhometown,Chineseonesareloudandbusy.2Theatmosphereiswarmandchaotic;peoplearehappy.Thetablesarebigandround.InChineseculturethemostimportantpersonsitsfacingthedoor.Platesoffoodsoonstartedarriving.AndthenIwishedI’dworkedonmychopstickskillsbefore.3Thismeansorderinglotsoffoodandencouragingyoutokeepeatin
