22、   We all know a picky eater (挑食者) or two, or maybe you're the picky eater, avoiding food adventures at all costs, because you're convinced you'll hate whatever new and bad-looking food is put on your plate. But why is it that some people are picky eaters while others are willing to try pretty much anything that can be eaten?

There's no single explanation for the picky eating habit. Picky eaters are typically unwilling to try new foods, which can be the result of your DNA and the way you are treated and educated when you are young. Marcia Pelchat, Ph.D., a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia who specializes in food preferences in humans, tells China Daily, “A group in Finland looked at what we call food neophobia, which literally means 'fear of the new', and they found that there is some genetic basis for this.”

“Also, if you have parents who don't really like to try anything new, you will also be exposed to fewer new foods,” Pelchat says. The opposite is also true: Those who try new foods and have positive experiences are then more likely to try unfamiliar foods in the future.

People who are less adventurous may be more hesitant to try new foods. Trying anything new, food included, requires you to step outside of your comfort zone. If you're not very adventurous, you may have a tough time with this. People who seek new adventures or thrills might be more likely to experiment with food. “There is a thrill-seeking personality trait,” Pelchat says. “It's been shown, especially with spicy food, that there is some connection between trying new foods and thrill seeking,” she explains.

Most adult picky eaters start as child picky eaters. “It's normal for children to go through a picky stage when they're toddlers, maybe two or three years old, and that makes sense evolutionarily,” Pelchat says. But as we get older, if we continue to avoid new foods, pickiness can persist.

【1】What do we know about people with food neophobia?

A．They eat only a few kinds of food.

B．They avoid new or unfamiliar foods.

C．They are addicted to some kind of food.

D．They have preference for vegetable food.

【2】What does Pelchat mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?

A．Food neophobia can be influenced by surroundings.

B．Those who try new foods have a positive life attitude.

C．Parents should set a good example for their children.

D．Food neophobia is linked to poorer dietary quality.

【3】What would be a picky eater like?

A．Less optimistic.

B．Less creative.

C．Less independent.

D．Less adventurous.

【4】Which of the following shows the best structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)

A．

B．

C．

D．

23、   【1】In ancient times, most festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. Today's festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.

Some festivals are held to honor the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, for example, people should go to clean graves, light incense and lamps, and play music.【2】

【3】The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan while in the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World.

Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over.【4】

The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. In China there are dragon dances and carnivals and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals such as Easter.【5】

People love to get together to eat, drink, and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our work for a little while.

24、   When night falls in the Netherlands, lights dance across a farm and create a dreamy landscape. Here, in a field inspired by beauty and infused with photobiology(光生物学), art intersects with agriculture. Yet, there is more than what meets the eye; these lights also provide higher productivity and a more sustainable crop.

This magical field is part of a project called GROW and was created by Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde, who lived in the city and had a desire to connect people to the source of their food in an inspiring way. “How can we make the farmer the hero? We barely know where our food comes from,” Roosegaarde said.

His vision was to combine science and art, and in so doing, create a better world. Longing to offer the world light in dark times, he set to work in a 5-acre field of leeks(韭葱). He tapped into his own design concept alongside artists, a team of designers and experts at the Wageningen University.

Using the science of photobiology, the group discovered that certain mixes of red, blue and ultraviolet lights promote plant growth。The team then positioned LEDs in different places across the field. These lights move up and down in order to ensure the light is evenly distributed across the area。And when these lights move at night, they seem to dance, creating a poetic dreamscape. “It's very futuristic and also very romantic, in a way,” Roosegaarde said.

Aside from being beautiful and promoting growth, the team observed that due to these lights, they needed to use 50 percent fewer pesticides(杀虫剂) on the crop. This is because this specific recipe of lights activated the defense system of the plants. And as it works on all crops, not just leeks, Roosegaarde foresees a way to reduce the use of pesticides on many other plants.

Roosegaarde's project will soon be touring 40 countries, sending its dancing lights across the world.

【1】What do Daan Roosegaarde's words in paragraph 2 suggest?

A．People living in cities tend to waste food.

B．Farmers are seen as heroes by the public.

C．It's important to know the source of food.

D．Tracking where food comes from is easy.

【2】What did Daan Roosegaarde do for his project?

A．He invented low-cost pesticides.

B．He came up with the design concept.

C．He bought a 50-acre field of leeks.

D．He learned dancing skills in a college.

【3】Why are fewer pesticides needed on the crop with the lights alongside?

A．The lights kill off most of the pests on it.

B．The lights make it more resistant to pests.

C．The lights are too bright for pests to tolerate.

D．The lights are equipped with a defense system.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Plants Are Beautiful in the Light

B．Plants Are Great Dancers at Night

C．Art and Science Meet in the Fields

D．Dancing Lights Become Widespread
