When it comes to food coloring, why should we have to prove just exactly how and why the substance causes a negative effect on the people who consume it before we can 1 it ? If this were a necessary or meaningful food ingredient (材料) in any way, sure, that would be a reasonable standard. But food coloring has no nutritional value. Why are we 2 it?

Most likely because it helps companies sell products. Pretty food pays off because aesthetics (美学) in food does 3. We have relied on 4 cues (暗示) for thousands of years to help us determine what is edible, nutritious, and safe to eat. Man has adapted to appreciating natural colors, including a varity of green, red, pink, orange, yellow, and purple produce. Colors 5 that food is ripe (成熟的) or that it contains healthy compounds. Because of that 6 background, color is money for food manufacturers. Children are especially attracted to a variety of bright, vibrant colors and succumb to (屈从于) targeted marketing.

Food aesthetics can also affect how we look at taste. In one study, when subjects were given sugar water in different 7 of red, they reported that the deep red drinks tasted sweeter than the light red ones. We’ve been programmed to expected certain things from certain colors. Another study showed people had a harder time 8 drink flavors when the drinks did not have the expected colors. We expected what nature has taught us, and even though our food system has changed dramatically in the past several decades, our expectations have yet to 9 up. Food companies can instead use this knowledge to 10 us and make their processed products appear more delicious.

【题目】DirectionsComplete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Donald Trump 1 his place as the United States’ 45th president after crossing the 270 electoral vote threshold(门槛) on November 9. The 70-year-old Republican will take over from Barack Obama, a two-term president to occupy the White House.

The rise of Trump, a celebrity businessman with no previous experience in the 2 or elected office, surprised nearly everyone in politics. Trump’s victory over Clinton will end eight years of Democratic 3 of the White House. He will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply 4 by his campaign against Clinton. Given the numerous Republicans who never backed him, Trump will have to face divisions within his own party, too.

As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.” “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans,” he said in his victory speech. Striking a 5 tone, Trump continued that he would ask a few of those who had chosen not to support him for 6 and help so that “we can work together and unify our great country.”

As president, Trump’s government agenda remains unclear. The president-elect has promised to bring changes to the United States. He said he would build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border to stop immigrants from coming into the country 7, suspend immigration from countries with ties to terrorist groups, and 8 with foreign governments such as those of Russia and China. Trump has also promised to prioritize the economic growth that creates jobs and 9 incomes for all Americans.

Trump is a wild card, many voters said, but he definitely has a chance to be a successful president as long as he recognizes the responsibilities he 10 and follows through on his promises.
