The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn39。t caught on because it goes against the mon belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important. But food preparation is a plicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it39。s not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging. The USDAfunded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli (大腸桿菌)and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking. To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren39。t out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.(1)People don39。t accept USDA39。s advice because____. advice is relatively new seems more trustworthy clean the turkey before cooking it can kill most germs and no one eats raw food(2)What can be concluded from Paragraph 4? packages carry germs. and surfaces are easy to get E. coli. from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not. methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.(3)Which way may help to cook a turkey safely? off the turkey before it is heated. the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator. hands and packages before taking out the turkey. a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.(4)From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken? ....【答案】 (1)B(2)C(3)D(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,食品專家說清洗可能會在廚房水槽或附近的食物中傳播火雞身上的細菌,但美國農業(yè)部的研究強調無論是否被清洗,火雞身上的細菌都會傳播,同時指出用溫度計檢查火雞的溫度有助于安全地烹飪火雞。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn39。t caught on because it goes against the mon belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman.”查普曼說,美國農業(yè)部提出的“不清洗生禽”的建議相對較新,但可能還沒有流行起來,因為這違背了人們普遍認為的“清洗可以使東西干凈”的觀念,可知,人們不接受美國農業(yè)部的建議是因為清洗似乎更值得信賴,故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據第四段中的“Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.”在那些清洗生雞肉的人中,約四分之一的人最終將細菌傳播到生菜上,但即使是一些沒有清洗雞肉的人,生菜上也有細菌,火雞身上的細菌還有其他生存的機會:融化和烹飪,可知,不管火雞是否被清洗,它身上的細菌都會傳播,故選C。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據最后一段中的“To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees.”為了確保一只家禽被徹底煮熟,他們說要用溫度計檢查它最深和最厚的部分是否達到165度,可知,用溫度計檢查火雞的溫度有助于安全地烹飪火雞,故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了食品專家說清洗可能會在廚房水槽或附近的食物中傳播火雞身上的細菌,但美國農業(yè)部的研究強調無論是否被清洗,火雞身上的細菌都會傳播,同時指出用溫度計檢查火雞的溫度有助于安全地烹飪火雞,這屬于科學范疇,因此這篇文章最有可能出自于雜志的科學版塊,故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀理解 The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell. Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola. There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can bee like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free. There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages。 they require courage and strength to share。 and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else. Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. Honesty and openness is important: it proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overe our disadvantages pletely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes. Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.(1)What39。s the function of the example in Paragraph 2? reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola. shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story. proves not sharing a story can cause trouble. concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.(2)Which is close in meaning to the underlined word uncorked in Paragraph 3? (3)One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______. highlights the importance of hard work are used to exposing their weaknesses sometimes have no courage to share their stories stories make themselves feel sad(4)The writer aims to convince us to _______. open to people close to you by sharing some secrets stories appropriately for the good of others and ours
