直击2023高考英语（乙卷） 阅读理解 话题3 饮食文化
一、2023真题
（2023·全国乙卷）阅读理解
What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer "uncool" for boys to like cooking.
1．What do people usually think of British food
A．It is simple and plain. B．It is rich in nutrition.
C．It lacks authentic tastes. D．It deserves a high reputation.
2．Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV
A．Authoritative. B．Creative. C．Profitable. D．Influential.
3．Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now
A．20%. B．24%. C．25%. D．33%.
4．What might the author continue talking about
A．The art of cooking in other countries.
B．Male chefs on TV programmes.
C．Table manners in the UK.
D．Studies of big eaters.
【答案】1．A
2．D
3．D
4．B
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍了英国人在烹饪节目的影响下改变传统的英式饮食，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting ”当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？可知对于英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日周日晚餐，也就是说人们会觉得英国食物简简单单，平淡无奇。故选A。
2．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“ It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. ”正是由于电视上的这些大厨，而不是凭借广告宣传活动，英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐，而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯；以及“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。可推断英国的烹饪节目在尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的烹饪习惯，英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D。
3．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“ Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.”几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多，将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。也就是说33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D。
4．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer 'uncool' for boys to like cooking.”随着电视上出现越来越多男性厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。可推断，下文应该具体介绍电视上的男性厨师，故选B。

5．（2019·许昌模拟）阅读理解
There is more of a connection between food and culture than
you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our
culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our
childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,
holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes
the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture.
It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it
wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of
coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve
traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some
materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so
the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their
home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from
the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore,
they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider
range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the
cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage（传统）through our culture's food but also
become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important
to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it
belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture,
and it should be treated as such.
（1）What's the function of food mentioned in the article
A．To help motivate homesickness. B．To show national identity.
C．To reflect a country's history. D．To show a community's superiority.
（2）What does the underlined "it" in Paragraph2 refer to
A．The specific traditional food. B．The national culture.
C．A traditional expression of food. D．The old-fashioned taste.
（3）Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C．To make the dishes popular among customers.
D．To present their own food culture in a new way.
（4）What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures
A．Negative. B．Balanced. C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
【知识点】词义猜测题；细节理解题；观点态度题；社会文化类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者从食物与文化的关系的角度表达了自己的看法，作者认为传统食物是文化的重要组成部分，它也是一种文化身份的表达，食物是了解文化的窗口。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness. ”可知文中提到食物是一种文化身份的表达，故选B。
（2）考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity.”可知，此句中it代指"民族文化"，句意为：移民们把它带到任何地方，它是他们的文化自豪感的象征，也是应对思乡之情的手段。故选A。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. ”可知，一些移民不得不改变他们餐馆原有的菜肴是为了迎合不同的顾客。故选C。
（4）考查观点态度。根据最后一段中的“We should embrace our heritage（传统）through our culture's food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. ”可知，我们应该通过我们的文化食物来接受我们的文化遗产，但也应该通过品尝其他文化的食物来了解其他文化，故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和观点态度三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息的基础上，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
6．（2019·新华模拟）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When first entered, Vanak
Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant
smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are
incapable of calling it anything less.
Owned by a local couple, this Persian
restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
The space is small with only a few dining
tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner,
the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those experienced in
the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
A common sight is that of old Persian men
sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events
on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers
all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food.
The variety of food at the restaurant is
limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can
serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical
as well.
The food especially appeals to
health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited
fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).
The main dish that the restaurant is
popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat.
One delicious and extremely healthy dish is
the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either
rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of
grilled beef.
Although the restaurant is small, the
atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not be
overlooked.
（1）When first entering the restaurant, one can find that it ________.
A．has pleasant smells of kabobs B．is splendidly decorated
C．is crowded with dining tables D．looks like a common restaurant
（2）What activity is also mentioned apart from dining in the restaurant

（3）The food of the restaurant ________.
A．is served in small amounts B．is rather expensive
C．is rich in variety D．is very healthy
（4）What is the dish Joojeh Kabob mainly made of
A．Rice B．Chicken C．Bread D．Beef

A．occupies a large space B．owns a favorable location
C．is popular for its special food D．has a quiet environment inside
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）D
（4）B
（5）C
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一家叫做Vanak Restaurant的餐厅，以及餐厅的特色食物。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"but once the pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses" 可知一进酒店会首先闻到烤肉传的香味，故选A。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的"A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai"可知除了在餐厅用餐，还提到了看电视上的新闻事件，喝着一种叫“波斯茶”的红茶。故选C。

7．（2020·四川模拟）阅读理解
We've all experienced it. We invite a friend to dinner, only to learn that she is the dreaded "V-word". Vegan is someone who allows a diet that contains no animal meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any other food that comes from animals. They differ from vegetarians, who generally still eat dairy and eggs as part of their diets. Vegans also typically abstain from using any other products that come from animals, such as honey and leather jackets.
Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for around 0.5 percent of the U. S. population, or about one million people. As of polls taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population. At least in the United States, women seem to be far bigger fans of veganism, making up around 79 percent of vegans.
People on a vegan diet tend to be leaner. In a cross-sectional study of nearly 40,000 adults, meat eaters had the highest mean body mass index, or BMI. Vegetarians were in the middle, and vegans had the lowest. Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians. Vegans also typically have lower cardio metabolic(心脏代谢) risks for conditions like heart disease or strokes.
While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies in the diet. One of these deficiencies is with the vitamin B-12. The ADA states that there are no natural plant foods that contain any significant amount of the vitamin. Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals. Omega-3 fatty acids(欧米珈-3 脂肪酸) are also very difficult to come by on a vegan diet, but this can be overcome through the consumption of algae(海藻) supplements. With vegans requiring supplementation to meet their nutritional needs, it supports the claim that veganism is unnatural, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's unhealthy.
Many health organizations, including the ADA, state that well-planned vegan diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. It seems like no matter what your dietary preferences are, a healthy lifestyle can be achieved on or off a vegan diet.
（1）Which example illustrates he/she is a vegan
A．His /Her diet is made up of large amounts of plant-based carbohydrates.
B．He /She eats meat on special occasions, usually pork, as well as small amounts of fish on a weekly basis.
C．He /She believes small amounts of animal products are vital to good health, and they insist on eating them every day.
D．He /She fries French fries by animal oil.
（2）Which statement is TRUE according to the passage
A．Finland is the leading country in the world to study veganism.
B．Vegetarians had the highest mean BMI.
C．Vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of cancer.
D．The number of vegan in the U. S. is on the rise.
（3）Vitamin B-12 can be got from .
A．various vegetables B．soy milk and cereals
C．water D．sunbath
（4）What is the writer's attitude towards going vegan
A．Objective. B．Subjective. C．Critical. D．Disapproval.
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）B
（4）A
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了纯素食主义者人数在美国正在上升，指出纯吃素的人往往更瘦，素食饮食可能有助于类风湿性关节炎的治疗，以及纯素食主义者患心脏病或者中风等疾病的风险通常也较低，同时也说明了纯素食主义者的饮食中也存在一种普遍的缺陷。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Vegan is someone who allows a diet that contains no animal meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any other food that comes from animals.”可知，纯素食主义者是指不成任何动物的肉，鱼，蛋，奶制品或任何其他来自动物的食物的人，可推知选A。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for around 0.5 percent of the U. S. population, or about one million people. As of polls taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population.”可知，在2008年，纯素食者只占美国人口的0.5%，也就是大约100万人，2014年的民意调查显示，纯素食者约占总人口的2.5%，可知选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals.”可知，纯素食者仍然可以得到它，但他们需要服用维生素或食用强化食品，如豆奶和某些早餐谷物，可知B—12可以从豆奶和谷物中获得，故选B。
（4）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians.”说明了纯吃素的人往往更瘦，素食饮食可能有助于类风湿性关节炎的治疗，以及纯素食主义者患心脏病或中风等疾病的风险通常也较低；再根据第四段中的“While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies in the diet.”指出纯素食主义者的饮食中也存在一些普遍的缺陷，可以推知，作者对成为素食主义者的态度是客观的，故选A。

8．（2019·怀化模拟）阅读理解
Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take
place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste,
there's a food festival to match -no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end
of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of meat
products, from burgers to steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch
butchery shows, and attend informal meat-based workshops.
Vegfest
If you prefer a festival that will help you meet your five a
day, then Vegfest fest is for you. This vegan-friendly event takes place
several times a year. Here you can enjoy a wide selection of freshly prepared
vegetables, learn cooking tips and hear talks on nutrition to help you make the
most of your plant-based search.
The Marmalade Festival
Held in Cumbria, this festival has been running for 13
years. It includes a competition to find the best homemade marmalade. There are
thousands of entries from over 30 different countries across the globe.
The Ginger (姜) and spice Festival
The Ginger and spice Festival, held in Market Drayton,
celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from
India with ginger. Because of this, they specialize in baking gingerbread, but
also sell a range of spices from mild to hot.
The National Honey show
It started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind.
This three-day event attracts over 2000 participants to their traditional
competition and offers lectures and workshops on beekeeping and, of course,
that syrupy golden honey.
While people's tastes are different from each other, the UK
has something to offer most people. From large-scale festivities, to the
smaller gatherings, one thing is certain: people are passionate about their
food. And while some of the products on offer might be strange to someone, when
food is given that much attention, it's unlikely to leave a bad taste in anyone's
mouth.
（1）Which is TRUE according to the passage
A．People can enjoy a wide selection of meat in Vegfest.
B．Meatopia falls on August 31 every year.
C．The Marmalade Festival is just known by the British.
D．Robert Clive took ginger to the UK from India.
（2）Which festival will be most a tractive for people having a sweet tooth
A．Meatopia B．The Ginger and spice Festival,
C．Vegfest. D．The National Honey show.
（3）In which part of a magazine can you most probably find this passage
A．Voice & views. B．Science & Technology.
C．Culture D．Sports.
【答案】（1）D
（2）D
（3）C
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英国常见的美食节的相关信息。
（1）考查细节理解。根据The Ginger (姜) and spice Festival部分中的"The Ginger and spice Festival, held in Market Drayton, celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger"可知，在德雷顿市场举办的生姜和香料节庆祝了小镇与罗伯特·克莱夫的历史联系，罗伯特·克莱夫从印度带回了生姜。所以罗伯特·克莱夫从印度把姜带回了英国。故选D。
（2）考查细节理解。根据The National Honey show部分中的" This three-day event attracts over 2000 participants to their traditional competition, and offers lectures and workshops on beekeeping and, of course, that syrupy golden honey."可知，这个为期三天的活动吸引了2000多名参赛者参加他们的传统比赛，并提供有关养蜂的讲座和研讨会，当然，还有甜腻的金色蜂蜜。所以The National Honey show对爱吃甜食的人最有吸引力。故选D。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第一段"Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste, there's a food festival to match -no matter how specialized."美食节在英国很常见，在任何地方、任何时间都可以举办。无论你的口味如何，总有一个美食节适合你。所以短文介绍了英国常见的美食节的相关信息。而美食节是文化的一部分。所以判断出最有可能在杂志的文化部分,找到这篇文章。故选C。

Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians. Vegans also typically have lower cardio metabolic(心脏代谢) risks for conditions like heart disease or strokes.
While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies in the diet. One of these deficiencies is with the vitamin B-12. The ADA states that there are no natural plant foods that contain any significant amount of the vitamin. Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals. Omega-3 fatty acids(欧米珈-3 脂肪酸) are also very difficult to come by on a vegan diet, but this can be overcome through the consumption of algae(海藻) supplements. With vegans requiring supplementation to meet their nutritional needs, it supports the claim that veganism is unnatural, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's unhealthy.
Many health organizations, including the ADA, state that well-planned vegan diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. It seems like no matter what your dietary preferences are, a healthy lifestyle can be achieved on or off a vegan diet.

8．（2019·怀化模拟）阅读理解
Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take
place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste,
there's a food festival to match -no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end
of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of meat
products, from burgers to steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch
butchery shows, and attend informal meat-based workshops.
Vegfest
If you prefer a festival that will help you meet your five a
day, then Vegfest fest is for you. This vegan-friendly event takes place
several times a year. Here you can enjoy a wide selection of freshly prepared
vegetables, learn cooking tips and hear talks on nutrition to help you make the
most of your plant-based search.
The Marmalade Festival
Held in Cumbria, this festival has been running for 13
years. It includes a competition to find the best homemade marmalade. There are
thousands of entries from over 30 different countries across the globe.
The Ginger (姜) and spice Festival
The Ginger and spice Festival, held in Market Drayton,
celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from
India with ginger. Because of this, they specialize in baking gingerbread, but
also sell a range of spices from mild to hot.
The National Honey show
It started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind.
This three-day event attracts over 2000 participants to their traditional
competition and offers lectures and workshops on beekeeping and, of course,
that syrupy golden honey.
While people's tastes are different from each other, the UK
has something to offer most people. From large-scale festivities, to the
smaller gatherings, one thing is certain: people are passionate about their
food. And while some of the products on offer might be strange to someone, when
food is given that much attention, it's unlikely to leave a bad taste in anyone's
mouth.
