14、ting 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 dont think about their cuisine in such monolithic(统一的) terms,” he says. “French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each consist of dozens of
15、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 dont have to rely on rotating crops, such as the Japan
16、ese, 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
17、 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 dinne
18、r plate, whether youre 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-foun
19、der of the FEED Project and The 30 Project, 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.”24. According to the

23、 overweight, many people seem to have forgotten the most important way to keep healthy and slim-exercise. And as a new study carried out on mice in the lab has shown, exercise done early in life can reward you in your adult years.A team of researchers at the University of California studied the effe
24、cts of early exercise on adult physical activity, body mass and eating. They found that early-age exercise in mice has positive effects on adult levels of voluntary exercise in addition to reducing body mass.“These results may have an effect on the importance of regular physical education in element
25、ary and middle schools,” said Theodore Garland, a professor of biology, who led the research project. “If kids exercise regularly through their school years, then they may be more likely to exercise as adults, which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.”Although th
26、e positive effects of early-life exercise lasted for only one week, it is important to note that one week in the life of a mouse is the same as about nine months for humans. “Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise will need to be kept up if they are to
27、 be long-lasting.”His team of researchers found, too, that all mice that had access to early exercise were lighter in weight than non-exercised mice.Garland explained that, in general, exercise will stimulate appetite sooner or later. However, it is possible that certain types of exercise, done for
28、certain periods of time or at certain light levels, might not stimulate appetite much, if at all, at least in some individuals.“If we could understand what sorts of exercise these might be, then we might be able to tailor exercise recommendations in a way that would bring the benefits of exercise wi
29、thout increase in appetite, leading to a better chance of weight loss,” he said.28. How long do the positive effects of early-life exercise last for a mouse?A. One day B. One week C. One month D.

32、f early- life exercise.DDisease spread in many ways. An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake. But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly. A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example. But
33、 what if those surfaces could clean themselves?Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question. Now theyve developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact.The idea is simple: Every time the door is opened, the movement creates power that starts a germ-killing reaction on the h
34、andle. In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8 percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses, notes 17-year-old Sum Ming(“Simon”) Wong. He and school
35、mate Kin Pong (“Michael”) Li,18, wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs.After doing some research, they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide is known to kill bacteria. Its already used in many products, from paints to desserts. To make their covering, the teenag
36、ers made the mineral into a very fine powder.Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet light, says Simon. UV light is found in sunlight. But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within.To make sure
37、the light reaches the coated surface, the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass, Each end fits into a bracket (托架 ). Inside one of the brackets is a strong light-emitting diode(LED).From it comes UV light.And heres the interesting part: The power that makes the UVlight shine comes from
38、 opening and closing the door. The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.The door handle system, Michael and Simon say, might cost no more than about $13 (about 81 yuan) to build.32. The ways diseases spread are mentioned at the beginning of the text to _.A. d

The LED is placed inside the brackets to _.A. supply enough power to the handle systemB. produce titanium dioxide to kill bacteriaC. provide UV light
41、 to help titanium dioxide work betterD. direct the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface35. What is the authors attitude toward Michael and Simons door handle system?A. Cautious B. Critical C. Enthusiastic D. Disappointed 第二节（共 5 小题:每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。If yo
