2019-2020学年高二英语下学期第九次周测试题一.阅读理解Not so long ago, takeout meant cheap, quick and oily meals. But a recent report has found that people under 35 are now demanding food thats fresh and healthfulas well as fast.Thats good news for people like Charley Wang, co-founder of munity food start-up Josephine. Customers can go to Josephines website, choose from a list of home-cooked options, pay online and pick up dinner within minutes of placing their order.“So its convenient, ”says Renee McGhee,60,who has sold her home-made fort food on Josephine.“Its like, heres a business in your hand. Run with it!”The pany takes 10 percent of cooks ine in exchange for access to the online ordering platform, munity forum and marketing materials.Most of the cooks on Josephine, like McGhee, operate out of their home kitchens. But the panys most popular meals e from an unexpected place: a middle school.Willard Middle School in Berkeley, Calif., is in its second year of partnering Josephine to make and sell hundreds of meals on one designated(指定的) day each monthwith some adult in charge.Josephine gets the kind of munity credibility(可信性) consumers want, while the school gets a cool learning opportunity and a much-needed source of ongoing funding. The partnership has also taught Willard students a lot about the food business.However, last month, the city of Berkeleys Environmental Health Division sent several Josephine cooksincluding McGheeorders to stop selling meals from their homes without a permit.“The issue really is about food safety and being able to inspect how food is prepared,” said Matthai Chakko, a spokesman for the city of Berkeley.Luckily, the kids at Willard Middle School have access to mercial-grade kitchens that have the necessary permits. And the pany says it is pushing to change Californias law regarding who can make and sell food.“People were happy and pleased to e here and get their meals, and I think thats their right,” McGhee says.1.Whats the biggest attraction of Josephine?A.

Dissatisfied.BModern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things. How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. People eating alone eat least. People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. Eating with overweight friends? Youll eat more. Is your waitress overweight? Youll eat more. A wide variety of food? Youll eat more.Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate, theyd say,“ This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say,“ This is the greatest cake Ive eaten in my entire life.”Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. So Grandmas cookies always taste better than other cookies.“Good food” even has a “health halo(光环) effect”. If were eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories (卡路里) than the cheese cake alone. Thats perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour.Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids who dont eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.4.What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?A.
