SECTIONⅢ Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)
Part A
Directions:
Read the following three texts.Answer the questions on eachtext by
choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Text 1
Karen and Ken Mullin.a youngprofessional couple in Cleveland,own fifty
cookbooksand twofull)equipped kitchens in their house.Yet they rarely cook
their own meals;instead,on their way home from work they usually stop at
a supermarket andchoose two portions of meat loaf and a containerof readyto-serve potatoes.“My job,”says Karen,“is to pour the salad from the bag.”
A half-century after the first TVdinner was born,the food industry is
approaching its long—sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins
ofunpaid labor in the final,and arguably most profitable,step by which a
cow gets turnedinto meat loaf.Increasingly,tables in America’skitchens are
used not for cutting orpeeling but for putting takeout food onto plates.For
thosewho even bother withplates.According to Harry Balzar,an influential
food—industry researcher,American dinners that came from atakeout
counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade.“We thought the microwave would be acooking device,”says Harry Balzer,“but we find it reheating
takeout pizza.”
Across the United States,entire business models arebeing
transformed.Supermarket takeout
counters,formerly aplace where unsold chickens were coated with
sauce,increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias.with sushi bars
and stir—fry stations.
One psychologist thinks the,trend toward healthier eatingis responsible:
Americans have finally gotten the message that it’s bad to eat fried
chicken,so they’re doing it at home where no one can see them.
Of course,there are people you wouldn’t expect to cook at home,like
Steve Traxler,an un·married Chicago theaterproducer,whose refrigerator
contains little more than orange juice,wine ard leftovers.
Well,somebody must beusing those cookbooks,right?“People don’thave
time to cook;I think they’re reading them in bed,”says Rozanne
Gold,author of a cookbook.
It’snot entirely a question of time.The takeout fashion is fueled,in
part,by the popularity of foods like sushi,which even
adventuresomeAmerican cooks are unlikely to try to make at home.
And takeout fills another need aswell,for the atmosphere of thehome—
cooked dinner.
46.From the text we can learn that theMullins __________.
[A]are experienced in cooking
[B]are expert at food shopping
[C]often go dining out at arestaurant
[D]often eat ready—made food athome
47.The food industry is approaching its finalgoal of __________.
[A]freeing people of cooking athome
[B]turning COWS into meat loaffor people
[C]relieving itself of unpaidlabor for people
[D]providing people withdelicious TV dinners
48.We can infer from the text that someAmericans__________
[A]are too busy to cut or peel
[B]are too busy to use theirtables
[C]do not even use their plates
[D]do not even use themicrowave
49.Supermarket takeout counters__________·
[A]have sushi bars and stir-frystations now
[B]used to process the left-overfood for sale
[C]cooperate with high-end‘corporationcafeterias
[D]used to coat chickens ofinferior quality with sauce
50 Takeoutfood is not only convenient but also enables Americans to
__________·
[A]avoid taking unhealthy food
[B]follow the trend of eatingout
[C]enjoy eating together athome
[D]have time to improve theircooking
Text 2
I switched on the TV and there they wereagain—the next crop of Miss
World/Miss Universe candidates.The samepracticed smiles,the same
waving hands,the samehosts with their unreal crossbreed accents—the
same.
Yes.the show goes on.No time to enjoy the glory of the last set of
titles.It’s time toprepare for me next.Our Assembly Line is in place.It takes
a whole year toprepare for the Miss World/Miss Universe contest.And the
young hopefulsgive it their disciplined best almost as if they were preparing
themselves for an ⅡT entrancetest or the Civil Services exam·
So what,s wrong with that?Ifone set of kids can further their genetically
gifted intellect,why can’t another set further a similarly gifted set of
physicalattributes?If brainy kids go to coaching classes.why Can,t the
pretty ones go to physical trainers?If cosmeticsurgery,dental
cares,balanced diets and workoutsessions produce a happier,healthier and
more self-confidentwoman who can takethe world in her stride,perhapsthat’s
the way to go·
