課時19 書面表達（七）-說明文 Ⅰ.閱讀理解 A Data on British buying habits in 2016 reveals a move away from products such as sausages and bacon in favour of fish and poultry (家禽肉). The move may be because highend consumers are noticing growing warnings about their impact on health. That was reinforced by an assessment by the World Health Organization in October that placed cured and processed meats in the same category as asbestos， alcohol， arsenic and tobacco as major causes of cancer. Sales of sausages and bacon were down 14.4% last year compared with 2015 and sales of red meat fell by 8.1%. In contrast， sales of poultry and fish rose by 13.1% and 25.1% respectively. The sustained interest in organic food is driven by an increase in young and socially conscious “millennials” (born from the early 1980s to the early 2000s) with strong social， ethical and environmental values. They are prepared to pay extra for healthier options and shifting shopping patterns away from “the big weekly shop” in favour of “a few and often”. At Tesco sales of organic fruit and vegetables have risen by more than 18% over the last year—double the market average. Tesco fruit commercial manager Gareth Wilcock said， “The revival of organic foods has been gathering pace over the last few years， with lower prices and better availability both playing a major part in that.” George Scott， food and grocery analyst with Verdict Retail， said， “Organic food is no longer niche (針對特定小群體的) and I think this upward sales trend is here to stay. It is very significant that we have acute consumers who are prepared to trade up to the foods where they want the best quality and assurances of provenance.” [語篇解讀]　這是一篇說明文。數據表明英國人改變了以往的購物習慣，他們不再依戀肉類加工品，而是轉向健康的有機食品。 1.What does the World Health Organization think of processed meats？ A.Highend consumers prefer them. B.They have little effect on heart diseases. C.Theyre a kind of organic food. D.Theyre likely to cause cancer. 解析：考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“...placed cured and processed meats in the same category as asbestos，alcohol， arsenic and tobacco as major causes of cancer”可知，世界衛(wèi)生組織認為，肉類加工品有可能致癌。 答案：D 2.What are the figures in Paragraph 3 used to show？ A.The sales of some food in two years. B.Some data on British buying habits. C.Customers interest in organic food. D.The change of British buying habits. 解析：考查推理判斷。第三段中列舉的數據是為了支持本文的話題“Data on British buying habits in 2016 reveals a move away from products such as sausages and bacon in favour of fish and poultry(家禽肉)”，即英國人改變了以往的購物習慣，不再依戀肉類加工品，而是轉向有機食品。所以D項正確。 答案：D 3.What can we know about “millennials”？ A.They like buying in large quantities. B.Theyre healthconscious. C.They used to buy a few things. D.They share the same eating habits. 解析：考查推理判斷。根據第四段中的“They are prepared to pay extra for healthier options”可知，千禧一代愿意為了更健康的選擇多付錢，由此可推知他們有健康意識。 答案：B 4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？ A.Organic food businesses are taking off. B.Organic foods have unfavorable prices. C.Its inconvenient to buy organic foods. D.Its hard to satisfy all consumers. 解析：考查推理判斷。根據最后兩段的內容，尤其是“At Tesco sales of organic fruit and vegetables have risen by more than 18% over the last year... The revival of organic foods has been gathering pace over the last few years”和“I think this upward sales trend is here to stay”可知，有機食物企業(yè)開始盛行。 答案：A B It is an aerial performance far beyond the capabilities of even the most complex modern aircraft： landing upside down on a ceiling. But it is routine business for bats， and now scientists have learned precisely how they do it. Brown University scientists observed two species： Sebas shorttailed bat and the lesser dogfaced fruit bat. They tracked their motions using three highspeed video cameras taking images at 1，000 frames per second， and studied weight distribution in the bats body and wings. They found that by flapping both wings while folding one of them just a bit toward their body， a bat can shift its centre of mass to perform a midair flip in order to land on a ceiling. “Flying animals all move skillfully constantly as they fly through a threedimensional environment，” Brown biology and engineering professor Sharon Swartz said. “Bats employ this specific technique every time they land， because for a bat， landing requires reorienting from head forward， back up， belly down， to head down， toes up.” When approaching their touchdown spot， bats are not flying very quickly， making it difficult to gather the type of aerodynamic forces produced by pushing against the air that could help position them for an upsidedown landing. But their heavy wings enable them instead to create inertial(慣性的) forces to adjust themselves in midair. Swartz said bats， as nocturnal(夜間活動的) animals， are generally not fully appreciated as skilled pilots. “People have many opportunities to observe birds and insects flying， but the bat world is hidden in the night. The more we observe flight behavior in bats， the more we are impressed，” Swartz said. [語篇解讀]　本文是一篇說明文。蝙蝠能倒掛在天花板上，這是精彩的空中特技表演，甚至超越了最復雜的現(xiàn)代飛機的能力。 5.Whats the key factor in bats successful landing？ A.Flapping both wings constantly. B.Flying slowly and stably. C.Choosing suitable positions. D.Shifting their centre of mass. 解析：考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“They found that by flapping both wings while folding one of them just a bit toward their body，a bat can shift its centre of mass to perform a midair flip in order to land on a ceiling”可知，轉移重心能讓蝙蝠成功倒掛在天花板上。 答案：D 6.Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reorienting”？ A.Adjust.　　　　　　　　　　 B.Show. C.Identify. D.Maintain. 解析：考查詞義猜測。根據畫線詞后的“from head forward，back up，belly down，to head down，toes up”和上下文語境可知，此處指的是蝙蝠降落需要從頭朝前、背朝上、腹部朝下調整為頭朝下、腳趾朝上。故畫線詞應意為“調整”，與adjust的意義相近。 答案：A 7.Why arent bats generally recognized as skilled pilots？ A.Their flying skills are controversial. B.Their flight behavior is hard to understand. C.Theyre not the most skilled in flying. D.Theyre primarily active at night. 解析：考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的“as nocturnal(夜間活動的) animals”和“but the bat world is hidden in the night”可知，因為蝙蝠在夜間活動，不易被觀察到，因此在飛行技巧方面未受到充分賞識。 答案：D 8.What is the text mainly about？ A.How bats hunt at night. B.How bats land upside down. C.How bats travel around at night. D.How scientists track bats motions. 解析：考查主旨要義。通讀全文可知，文章主要講蝙蝠是怎樣倒掛在天花板上的。故B項最能概括文章的大意。 答案：B Ⅱ.完形填空 I was touched so much. A while back， my threeyearold son and I settled back for his goodnight __1__. We lay down in his little bed and he said， “Daddy， when I get big can I live with you？” I __2__ him he could live with me any time he wanted to.
