intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being.Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.Nowadays, for most people in the world's wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an enthusiasm, and even something fashionable.Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and you'll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession.And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodieIt's almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year.Take Kenya for example.This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts.The result is that people are beginning to starve.Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way.But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks ­European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves.So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have.After all, food is essential for survival, but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.9According to Mariette Dichristina, what has the closest relationship with us?AAir.BWater.CFood. DHuman beings.10What does the underlined word “foodie in Paragraph 4probably mean?ADelicious food.BA person fond of food.CA social media app.DA photo of delicious meals.11Who can get help from food banks?APoor people in the UK.BPoor people in Africa.CStarving children in Kenya.DPeople in the drought­stricken.12What's the best title for the text?ATreat Food as a HobbyBTime to Appreciate FoodCFood Shortage in Some CountriesDHow to Spend World Food Day答案与解析本文是一篇议论文。许多人将美食当作嗜好，他们在社交媒体上晒美食照片，但是他们并没有想到在世界的许多地方人们还忍饥挨饿，这就是世界粮食日成立的原因。珍惜粮食，从我做起！9C细节理解题。根据第一段中Mariette Dichristina所说的“The most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being.Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.可知，我们最亲密的关系不是人与人之间的关系，而是我们的身体和食物之间的关系；据此可知，Mariette Dichristina认为和我们关系最亲密的是食物，故C项正确。10B词义猜想题。根据第四段中的第二句“It's almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.可知，这些人最喜欢在社交媒体软件上晒美食照片；结合画线词所在句子中的“thinks of themselves as a foodie可以判断，该处画线词指人，故foodie意为“美食爱好者，故B项正确。11A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的最后一句“But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks .who can't afford to pay for it themselves.可知，即使是在英国，低收入家庭也被迫要使用食物银行；该组织是一个向那些无钱购置食物的人捐赠食物的欧洲组织。据此可知，贫穷的英国人可以获得食物银行的帮助，故A项正确。12B标题归纳题。通读全文可知，许多人将美食当作嗜好，他们在社交媒体软件上晒美食照片，享受着美味食品，但是他们并没有想到在世界的许多地方人们还忍饥挨饿，这就是世界粮食日成立的原因。据此推断，B项正确。.短文改错My high school life has made me learn many things.Between them teamwork is the most significantly for me.In fact, I didn't realize it's importance until I was elected monitor.In the begin, I did almost all the duties myself；however, others students cared little about class activities.Therefore, I worn out and depressed.Then I turned to my head teacher but he advised me to cooperate with others.Gradually, I realized the strengths of my classmates and managed to have everyone to play a part in class.It is working in teams instead of on my own which has freed me of trouble and make my work more efficient.答案
