14.The"melting pot"in American cuisine(菜肴.烹饪法) is a myth,not terribly unlike the idea of a melting pot of American culture,notes chef Dan Barber."Most cultures don't think about their cuisine in such monolithic(统一的) terms,"he says."French,Mexican,Chinese,and Italian cuisines each consist of dozens of distinct regional foods.And I think‘American'cuisine is moving in the same direction,becoming more localized,not globalized."
American cuisine is shaped by the natural wealth of the country.Having never faced agricultural hardship,Americans don't have to rely on rotating crops,such as the Japanese,whose food culture now showcases buckwheat (荞麦) alongside rice,or the Indians,or the French and Italians,who feature beans alongside wheat."That kind of negotiation with the land forced people to incorporate(接受) those crops in to the culture,"says Barber.And so eating soba noodles becomes part of what it means to be Japanese,and eating beans becomes part of what it means to be French.
So if what we eat is what we are,what are Americans?Well,meat."If Americans have any unifying food identity,I would say we are a mostly white meat culture,"says Barber."The protein-centric dinner plate,whether you're talking about a boneless chicken breast,or a 16-ounce steak,as an everyday expectation is something that America really created,and now exports to the rest of the world."
Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations,says Ellen Gustafson,co-founder of the FEED Project and The 30Project,which aims to deal with both hunger and overweight issues globally."The celebratory nature of food is universal.Every season,every harvest,and every holiday has its own food,and this is true in America as well.It helps define us."

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者在本文中主要向我们介绍了法国、中国、墨西哥、意大利等各不同区域的许多食物是朝同一方向发展,变得越来越本地化,而不是全球化,并主要向我们介绍了美国菜.

解答 24.C  推断判断题.根据第一段"French,Mexican,Chinese,and Italian cuisines each consist of dozens of distinct regional foods.And I think‘American'cuisine is moving in the same direction,"可知法国烹饪、墨西哥烹饪、中国烹饪和意大利烹饪都包含几十个特色明显的地区饮食,而且我认为美国餐也正朝着这个方向发展,故选C.
25.D  细节理解题,根据第二段"American cuisine is shaped by the natural wealth of the country.Having never faced agricultural hardship,Americans don't have to rely on rotating crops,"可知美国烹饪是由该国家的自然资源丰富塑造的,因为从没有遭遇过种植困难,所以美国不用依靠轮作,不像日本那些国家,因此是美国的农业财富使美国菜不同于其他菜系,故选D.
26.C  细节理解题,据第二段最后及第三段"So if what we eat is what we are,what are Americans?Well,meat.If Americans have any unifying food identity,I would say we are a mostly white meat culture,"可知美国人代表的食物是肉,因此可知白肉已经成为了美国的一部分,故选C.
27.C  推理判断题,根据第四段"Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations,"可知每一个个体文化和地区都会把食物作为庆祝的一部分,美国烹饪也不例外,因此可知美国烹饪也把食物作为庆祝的一部分,故选C.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

6.Study Links Video Game Use to Problems in School
    A new study warns that too much time spent playing computer games could affect a child's performance at school.(36)GThey show that too many hours spent playing games can reduce students'chances of success in school.
    More than 600 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16 took part in the research project.(37)DIt is said to be the first ever long-term study in Northern Ireland on the influence of information technology on school test results.
    The study found that teenagers who played computer games less than once a week were more successful in school than those who played them twice a day or more.41% of the students who used gaming devices two or more times a day received passing grades on school exams.(38)EThe study found that social media use did not affect school performance.
    Celine McStravick is the director of the National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland.She says the study showed no connection between social media and test results."(39)CI think that's more because social media is part of every child's life.It's the way they communicate.It's the way they keep in touch with their friends."
Many parents say their children are becoming increasingly dependent on computer games.Some have compared gaming to a drug addiction.(40)AIt suggested that computer games can cause children to stay awake late at night.Less sleep makes children tired and unable to pay attention in school the next day.

A.However,the study did not explore addiction.
B.The new games are much different from older ones.
G.It was clear that social media didn't have any effect.
D.It took place over a period of three years from 2013 to 2015.
E.That compared with 77% of those who rarely played the games.
F.Drug addiction does great harm to their health and performance at school.
G.Britain's National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland reported the results of the study.
