No answer. He moved 5 feet closer. Still no answer.

While they were there, his mother Garrett learned about LuLu, a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies (过敏) At LuLu, Isaac could eat a salad and a bowl of chicken soup with rice. “Isaac looked at me as if asking, Is this OK? ” Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK, Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of eating at a restaurant. “That look on his face was like, This is the coolest thing Ive ever done, ” Garrett added. Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaacs food allergies. When they do, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. “Its not fun and it feels unfair, ” she said. Their night at LuLu marked a celebration for Isaac. Garrett shared the moment on the restaurants Facebook page. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving Isaac this wonderful experience, ” she wrote in her post. Barnett, the restaurants manager, said, “When customers tell the staff that someone in their group has a food allergy, I assist with the order by passing it to the kitchen, ensuring its cooked in a separate station and delivering the finished food to the guests. We have been improving this process over the past ten years since our allergy program was started.” On Garretts Facebook post, LuLu thanked Garrett for sharing her story. “Thank you for sharing your experience with us, ” the restaurant wrote in a comment, “We are excited to see your son so happy!” Garrett is hoping her posts popularity will convince other restaurants to be more considerate. “LuLu takes it seriously as we take itnothing could make us happier than that, ” she said. 篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述 Garrett 一家去为有食物过敏的顾客提 供食物的餐厅就餐的经历,餐厅所提供的食物使有食物过敏的儿子非常满意。作 者呼吁更多的餐厅能关注食物过敏的顾客。 21How does Isaac feel when he first ate at LuLu? ASatisfied. BCurious. CAmused. DNervous. 答案:A推理判断题。根据第二段中的“That look on his face was like, This is the coolest thing Ive ever done, ”(他脸上的表情就像, “这是我做过 的最酷的事” 。)可知,Isaac 在第一次吃 LuLu 饭店所提供的食物时感到很满意。 22What does Garrett usually do when her family go out to eat? AShe leaves Isaac alone at home. BShe prepares some food for Isaac. CShe orders some special food for Isaac. DShe lets Isaac choose his favorite dishes. 答案:B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant(在他们离开之前,她 在家为 Isaac 烹饪了一些东西,并把它带到了餐馆。)”可知,家人外出吃饭时, Garrett 经常为 Isaac 准备一些食物,故 B 项正确。 23What will Barnett do when guests with allergies come to dinner? AHe will deliver the menu to them. BHe will personally assist with the order. CHe will introduce the allergy program. DHe will cook dinner in a separate station. 答案:B细节理解题。根据第五段中的“When customers tell the staff that someone in their group has a food allergy, I assist with the order by passing it to the kitchen . to the guests.”可知,当顾客告诉服务员他们中间有人对食物过敏时, Barnett 就会亲自协助完成从点餐到上菜,故 B 项正确。 B Our perception of how food tastes is influenced by cutlery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests. “Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor, ” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show. The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons that are traditionally used to serve desserts. Color contrast was also an important factorwhite yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter than white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest. “How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes, ” said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr Vanessa Harrar. “Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.” Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic (美食的) experiences at restaurants, ” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “Theres a lot more to food than whats on the plate. Many things we thought didnt matter do. Were going to see a lot more of neuroscience (神经科学) design around mealtimes.” 篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了英国牛津大学的研究人员发现,餐具 的大小、重量、形状及颜色均会对食物的口感产生影响。 24According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is _. Asalty Bsour Csweet Dbitter 答案:A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork(用刀比用叉取食奶酪会让其咸味更明显)”可知,实 验中所用的奶酪是咸的,故选 A 项。 25What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in Paragraph 3? AIt is important for people. BPeople usually dont care about it. CIt affects how the food tastes. DIt is always different from peoples expectation. 答案:C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes.”可知,刀叉的重量影响食物的味道,故选 C 项。 26What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? AComing from the senses. BInvolving many different senses. CAble to feel or perceive. DEasily affected by other feelings. 答案:B词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes”可知,我们对食物的品尝过程是一个多重感官体验的 过程,包括味觉、食物的口感、香味以及眼睛的观感。由此可以推测出,画线词 multisensory 意为“多种感觉(并用)的” ,故选 B 项。 C Eating chips, chocolates and cakes may damage a childs intelligence, according to researchers at Bristol University. Their study suggests a link between diet high in processed (加工的) food and a slightly lower IQ. Writing in the journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, they suggest poor nutrition may affect brain development. The eating habits of 3,966 children taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children were recorded at the ages of three, four, seven and eight and a half. The researchers said three types of diet appeared: processed diet which was high in fat, sugar and fast food, traditional diet of meat, potatoes and vegetables, and healthy diet of salads, fruit and fish. The children all took IQ tests when they were eight and a half. The researchers found a link between IQ and diet, even after taking into consideration other factors such as the mothers level of education and social class. Diet high in processed food at the age of three was linked to a slightly lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, suggesting early eating habits have a longterm influence. Dr Pauline Emmett, who carried out the study at Bristol University, said, “Brain development is much faster in early life, and its when it does most of its growing.” Although the relationship between diet and IQ was very strong, the influence was quite small. Processed food was linked with IQs only a few points lower. Experts in the field said the results had shown common sense was right. Fiona Ford, spokesperson for the British Dietetic Associatio

Writing in the journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, they suggest poor nutrition may affect brain development. The eating habits of 3,966 children taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children were recorded at the ages of three, four, seven and eight and a half. The researchers said three types of diet appeared: processed diet which was high in fat, sugar and fast food, traditional diet of meat, potatoes and vegetables, and healthy diet of salads, fruit and fish. The children all took IQ tests when they were eight and a half. The researchers found a link between IQ and diet, even after taking into consideration other factors such as the mothers level of education and social class. Diet high in processed food at the age of three was linked to a slightly lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, suggesting early eating habits have a longterm influence. Dr Pauline Emmett, who carried out the study at Bristol University, said, “Brain development is much faster in early life, and its when it does most of its growing.” Although the relationship between diet and IQ was very strong, the influence was quite small.
