Ⅳ.阅读理解

主题语境:饮食与健康　语篇类型: 说明文　词数:285　难度:★★★☆

Many of us love summer because it’s the season when vegetables are in abundance.Fresh vegetables have almost all of the nutrients that our body requires.

Fresh cabbage is an excellent source of natural vitamin C.It also contains an adequate number of minerals.Sweet carrot is notably rich in antioxidants (抗氧化物),vitamins and dietary fiber.Onion is a rich source of chromium (铬),a mineral that helps cells respond appropriately to insulin (胰岛素) levels in the blood.As for me,tomato,juicy and delicious,is a wonderful gift to the world.Besides,it contains very good levels of vitamin A and vitamin C,and antioxidants,which are scientifically found to be protective against cancers.

Eat at least 5-7 servings of fresh vegetables every day.Seasonal vegetables should be encouraged.Whenever possible,go for organic farm vegetables to get maximum health benefits.Organic ones tend to be smaller but have rich flavour,possess some good concentration of vitamins and minerals and are loaded with numerous health benefiting antioxidants.

After shopping your choice of vegetables,the first thing you need to do is to wash them thoroughly,especially leafy green vegetables.Soak in salt water for a few minutes,and gently wash in cool water until you are satisfied with the cleanliness.This way you insure they are free from dirt sand and any chemical sprays.If you need to store them,then place inside plastic wrappings in order to preserve their nutrition for short periods until you use them.However,the best way is to use them early while fresh because,firstly,certain vegetables have a very short period of life and secondly,the health benefiting qualities of vegetables declines with time.

参考范文

Ladies and gentlemen,

I feel greatly honored to be here to tell you something about Chinese banquet customs.Firstly,banquets are usually held in private rooms in restaurants.Guests will be met at the door and led to the banquet room where they will be guided to their places.Occasions are rare when guests sit where they please.Secondly,while at banquets,guests don’t begin to eat until the host raises his chopsticks.And it’s rude to stop eating in the middle of a banquet.Banquets always begin with a toast,with the host expressing his welcome. Finally,the host will say good-bye to everyone at the door and stay longer to pay the bill.

Thank you for listening.

Ⅵ.读后续写

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

There was a thick forest on the side of a mountain.Many kinds of animals lived in the forest.A deer was eating grass and leaves with her two young ones.The young ones wandered happily here and there.The deer followed her fawns(幼鹿)into a cave.The deer was frightened because it was a tiger’s cave.There were bones of dead animals all over the cave.Fortunately,the tiger was not inside the cave at the time.

The deer was trying to lead her young ones out of the cave when she heard a loud roar.She saw the tiger at a distance coming towards the cave.It was dangerous to go out of the cave now.She thought of a plan.The deer raised her voice and shouted,“My dear young children do not weep.I shall capture(捕捉)a tiger for you to eat.You can have a good dinner.”

The tiger heard these words and became frightened.He thought,“Whose is that strange voice from the cave?A dangerous animal is staying inside to capture me.I shall run away to escape death.”The tiger began to run away from there as fast as possible.

A jackal(胡狼) saw the running tiger.“Why are you running in great fear?”the jackal asked.The tiger said,“My friend,a powerful and fierce animal is in my cave.The young ones are crying for a tiger to eat.The mother is promising to capture a tiger for them.So,I am running away.”

The cunning jackal was now sure the tiger was a coward(懦夫).It said,“Don’t be afraid.No animal is fiercer or stronger than a tiger.Let us go together to find out.”

But the tiger said,“I do not want to take a chance.You may run away.I will be left alone to die.So,I will not come with you.”

The jackal said,“Trust me.Let us knot(打结) our tails together.Then I will not be able to leave you.”The tiger agreed unwillingly to this proposal.So the jackal tied their tails in a knot.Now they walked towards the cave together.

Paragraph 1:

The deer saw the jackal and the tiger coming together.

Paragraph 1:

The deer saw the jackal and the tiger coming together.She again raised her voice.She shouted towards her children standing inside the cave,“My dear children,I requested my friend,the clever jackal,to capture a tiger for us.Now look,the jackal has captured a tiger for us.He has tied the tiger’s tail to his tail.This is to prevent the tiger from escaping.You will soon have the tiger for dinner.”

Paragraph 2:

The tiger was shocked to hear this and he was sure now the jackal cheated him.So,the tiger decided to escape from the terrible animal standing inside his cave.He started running.He forgot about the jackal.He dragged the jackal over rocks and thorns.In the mad escape the jackal was caught between two rocks.The tiger pulled with all his might.His tail got cut.The jackal was killed in this incident.The tail-less tiger ran away to another part of the forest.The deer and her young ones left the tiger’s cave.They joined their herd safely.Presence of mind and intelligence can save one from dangerous situations.
