What does"processing plants"in the second paragraph most probably refer to?
A:Market information processers.

D:Supermarket.

参考解析

解析:推理判断题。本题考查对review一词的理解。从文章第一段第一句可知,有些经过辐射处理的食品已被FDA认可;从第二句的being reviewed可知有些食品仍然正在评估中。所以选项A、B、D都太绝对或概括过度,均不正确。
推理判断题。本题考查对复合句的理解。本题解题的关键是找出第二段结尾句中的that引导的定语从句修饰的是process,从该定语从句可推断出消费者对其持不认同的态度。由此可见,选项D是本题的答案。选项A、几C在第二段中都先后有明确提及。
词义推断题。根据上下文,特别是outfit和equipment两个词,可知是为 processing plants配备设备。因此,可推断出processing plants指的是“食品加工厂”。
事实细节题。第三段指出食物在哪些情况下要贴上被辐射过的标签,其中第一句提到在supermarket一定要标明哪些食品被辐射过,但对医院或餐厅出售的食物并无此规定。选项D在文中没有提及。
主旨大意题。第一段提到,FDA认可部分食品可以用辐射方法进行处理,第二段谈到消费者对irradiated food持怀疑态度,同时符合这两条的只有选项C。

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is nto a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additives,caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes,but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.What are nitrates used for? a.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.b.They preserve the color of meats.c.They are the objects of research.d.They cause the animals to become fatter.

共用题干第二篇Are These Food Safe to Eat?Traditionally,in plant breeding,there are crossing varieties of the same species in ways they could cross naturally.For example,disease-resistant varieties of wheat have been crossed with highyield wheat to combine these properties.This type of natural gene exchange is safe and fairly predictable.Genetic engineering(GE)makes it possible to exchange genes between unrelated species that cannot exchange genes with each other in a natural way.GE can involve the exchange of genes be-tween vastly different species一e.g. putting scorpion toxin genes into maize or fish antifreeze genes into tomatoes.It is possible that a scorpion toxin gene,even when it is in maize DNA,will still get the organism to produce scorpion toxin一but what other effects may it have in this alien environment? We have already realized this problem一adding human growth hormone genes to pigs certainly makes them grow一but it also gives them arthritis and makes them cross-eyed,which was entirely out of expectation.It won't be difficult to find out,for example,that the gene for human intelligence will not have the same effect if it is inserted into cabbage DNA as it had in human DNA一but what side-effect would it have?In other words,is genetically modified(GM)food safe to eat?The answer is that no-body knows because long-term tests have not been carried out.Those companies who want a GM product approved in the UK or USA are required to provide regulatory bodies with results of their own safety tests.Monsanto's soya beans were apparently fed to fish for 10 weeks before being approved.There was no requirement for independent testing,for longterm testing,for testing on humans or testing for specific dangers to children or allergic people.The present opinion of the British Government is that"There is no evidence of long-term dangers from GM foods."In the US,the American Food and Drug Administration is now being prosecuted for covering up research that suggested possible risks from GM foods.Which statement about GM product is true according to the passage?A:Adding human growth hormone genes to pigs does not make them grow.B:The American Food and Drug Administration is now doing a research that suggested possible risks from GM foods.C:The gene for human intelligence will not have the same effect if it is inserted into cabbage DNA as it had in human DNA.D: There has been requirement for independent testing,for long-term testing,for testing on humans or testing for specific dangers to children or allergic people.

共用题干第一篇Food PoisoningFood sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things,A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious,but some types are deadly.The symptoms of food poi- soning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.Certain microorganisms(微生物)cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs,meat,vegetables,and many other foods.After entering the body,these tiny living things re- lease(释放)poisons that make people sick.Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown,pro- cessed,or prepared.For example,many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemical、when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.These includo certain kinds of seafood,grains,nuts,seeds,beans,and mushrooms.When people handle food properly,the risk of food poisoning is very small.Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures.This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing, Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it.Finally,people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition,some types of fish can be poisonous.Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons,they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied. A:are always accompanied by a fever B:are too common to be notedC:can be noticed within hoursD:can he ignored
