题目列表(包括答案和解析)

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?

Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream — as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).

Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”

While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one cool job.

What is John Harrison’s job?

   A. An official.  B. An ice-cream taster.

   C. A chemist.   D. An ice-cream manufacturer.

According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.

   A. keep a diary of work   B. have a degree in related subjects

   C. have new ideas every day    D. find out new flavors each day

What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

   A. He stirs the ice cream.

B. He examines the color of the ice cream.

   C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. 

D. He lets the ice cream warm up.

Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

   A. Tasting with Eyes       B. Flavors of Ice Cream

   C. John Harrison’s Life   D. One Cool Job

 As parents we like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients(营养)they need. Children need two to three kinds of vegetables every day.

A simple way to get our children to eat vegetables is by eating them ourselves. Following our example, they may start eating vegetables themselves. Don’t say things like, “If you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert. ” These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Give your children new varieties of foods which will help them develop a taste for trying new things.

Sometimes the simple things just don’t work. We have to start becoming a little creative to make our children eat vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when children are small, we will help them learn to love vegetables.

Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, cucumbers and place them in a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping the vegetables in it or by putting the cheese right on top of cooked or raw vegetables.

If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to make them taste a little sweeter. Doing this shouldn’t lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.

If you have children that refuse to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions I’ve listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you’re not only just getting them to eat vegetables, you’re also helping them to live a healthier lifestyle.

1.According to the passage, all the following ways to get children to eat vegetables are creative EXCEPT _____.

A. preparing carrots in an attractive way

B. adding some cheese sauce to vegetables

C. putting cheese on top of vegetables

D. making vegetables much sweeter

2.If you want your children to develop the habit of eating vegetables, you should _____.

A. set an example to them

B. be very patient to them

C. give dessert to them as an award

D. cut vegetables into different types to meet their tastes

3.The best title for the passage would probably be “_____”.

A. Vegetables are very important for children’s health

B. How to make children eat more vegetables

C. More and more children like eating vegetables

D. There are many kinds of vegetables for children
