Cherie Blair, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?‎ Japan High schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles and vegetables.‎ Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers at the end of the month receives a prize.‎ United States A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.‎ Australia Meat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.‎ Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.‎ In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.‎ South Africa Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.‎ Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity ‎ among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.‎ ‎44. We can infer from the text that __________.‎ A. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their school B. most students in South Africa eat their lunch at home C. a typical menu from a US school has enough nutrition D. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan ‎45. What does the underlined word “obesity” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Fighting B. Overweight C. Food shortage D. Sadness ‎46. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students.‎ B. School children all over the world dislike their school food.‎ C. Food served in the US is the best of all D. Schools serve different foods from country to country.‎ ‎47. The text is written for _______.‎ A. students of your age B. schoolmasters C. school lunch sellers D. parents ‎【答案】44. C 45. B 46. D 47. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，以日本、美国、澳大利亚和南非为例介绍了不同国家的学校为学生提供不同的午餐。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据United States部分中的“School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.”可知，美国学校的午餐必须提供日常摄入量三分之一的蛋白质、维生素A、维生素C、铁、钙和卡路里，由此可知，美国学校的菜单里含有足够的营养，故C项正确。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Fast food and fried food sell the best among ‎ students”可知，快餐和油炸食品在学生中卖得最好，这导致了儿童肥胖率的上升，由此可知画线词词义为“肥胖的、超重的”，故B项正确。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文以日本、美国、澳大利亚和南非为例介绍了不同国家的学校为学生提供不同的午餐，故D项正确。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?‎ ‎”可知，你们这个年纪的学生在学校里午餐吃什么呢？由此可知本文是写给你们这个年纪的学生的，故A项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，对画线词上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第2题，根据画线词前的“Fast food and fried food sell the best among students”可知，快餐和油炸食品在学生中卖得最好，而快餐和油炸食品属于垃圾食品，肯定会导致儿童肥胖，由此可知画线词词义为“肥胖的、超重的”。‎ C This year I’m buying presents for 16 children as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing Day. And the whole thing’s only going to cost me £150.‎ I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager, for I came from a poor family with many children. I had to drop out of high school to earn money to support myself. I remember well that I went a bit mad back then when I got my first credit card and my parents had to leave me from home and cared little for me from then, which taught me a real lesson.‎ We’re very careful now and we don’t overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician and my husband Neil, 33, works in the construction business. We’re concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.‎ We’ve also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is worried. One of my friends’ husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn’t work, they have no money coming in.‎ Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of £150 because that’s just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil’s salary for our essential bills.‎ We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have lots of decorations already, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we’re not going to. We’ve already got our tree – a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.‎ After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis which is spreading throughout the globe.‎ ‎48. We can infer that Boxing Day most probably falls on ______.‎ A. January 20 B. May 5‎ C. October 24 D. December 26‎ ‎49. Which of the following is TRUE about the author according to this passage?‎ A. She has bought Christmas presents for 16 children in total.‎ B. She has bought a man-made Christmas tree at a low price.‎ C. Both the author and her husband are already out of work now.‎ D. She would like to buy a new Christmas tree for this Christmas.‎ ‎50. The second and third paragraphs mainly tell us ______ .‎ A. why the author has been very careful with money B. how she finished her education of high school C. where she earned her first money in her teens D. when she left home and got married to her husband ‎51. We can conclude from this passage ______.‎ A. the author often quarrels with her husband about their little earnings B. nobody but the author was worried about the rising prices C. the author has never been worried about losing jobs D. the author and those around her are suffering from the financial crisis ‎【答案】48. D 49. B 50. A 51. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了在遭受经济危机的情况下，作者是如何准备今年的圣诞节的。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing ‎ Day.”可知，作者要为家人的圣诞午餐准备一只火鸡，在节礼日那天还要举行一个家庭活动，由此可知，节礼日应该是在圣诞节（12月25日）之后不久，可能是在12月26日，故D项正确。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“We’ve already got our tree – a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.”可知，作者的人工圣诞树是以半价买的，故B项正确。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager, for I came from a poor family with many children.”及第三段中的“We’re concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.”可知，第二、三段主要讲述了作者为什么对花钱如此谨慎——小时候家里穷，孩子又多，成家后又担心自己和丈夫的工作，故A项正确。‎ ‎【51题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis which is spreading throughout the globe.”可知，毕竟，没有人能躲过这场正在全球蔓延的经济危机，由此可知，作者和她身边的人正在遭受经济危机，故D项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】推理判断题的难度较大，需要根据文章已知信息进行合乎逻辑的推断，例如本篇第1题，根据第一段中的“I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing Day.”可知，作者要为家人的圣诞午餐准备一只火鸡，在节礼日那天还要举行一个家庭活动，一次准备两个节日的东西，可见这两个节日时间非常近，再根据作者提到两个节日的顺序可知，节礼日应该是在圣诞节（12月25日）之后不久，最有可能是在12月26日。‎ D Do you enjoy eating ketchup on your fries? If so, you must like the essential ingredient in the sauces, tomatoes. The tomato originally comes from South America and has been eaten by people there for thousands of years. Today, tomatoes are popular all over the world. However, when they were first introduced, there was quite a bit of controversy and apprehension surrounding them.‎ Tomatoes were first planted by the Aztecs (阿兹特克人)in Central America. In fact, ancient Aztec writings mention recipes for dishes of tomatoes. Spanish soldiers conquered the Aztecs and brought tomato seeds back with them to Europe. In Europe, these yellowish tomatoes were first called “apples of gold “. For a long time, people in Northern Europe and North America did not eat these “apples of gold”. The tomato plant looked similar to the nightshade plant, a deadly ‎ poison, so they were afraid to eat them. German people even thought that if someone ate tomatoes, he or she would change into a werewolf(狼人). But finally, by the mid-1800s people all over the world had accepted the tomato.‎ However, the tomato was due for more controversy. Do you think the tomato is a fruit or vegetable? Actually the tomato is a fruit. But in America, the tomato is a vegetable by law. Why is the tomato legally a vegetable in America? In the 1800s, there was no import tax in fruit from other countries. At that time, many tomatoes were coming from other countries into America, and American tomatoes farmers became worried about making a living. The government made the tomato a vegetable by law so that non-American tomatoes would be taxed.‎ Actually, it is easy to tell that the tomatoes is really a fruit. Cut into a tomato and look inside. You can see many seeds in the center, which is one sign of a fruit. In fact, tomatoes are similar to strawberries. Both have seeds inside, and both grow from the flowers of a plant. And both have delicious flesh surrounding the seeds. Tomatoes and strawberries are actually in the same family.‎ ‎52. What is the main idea of this reading?‎ A.
