Question

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do         . When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other          when you choose your food. You may          it because it smells good or because it          good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice.

Different          use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many          types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one         type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the       . A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other         in the garden. However, most animals have a more          diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The          of these animals will be different depending on the season.

        have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is       for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much         . This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal         , such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modem life.

【解析】

试题分析：人和动物一样都是靠视觉来识别食物的，但有时人们也会因食物的色、香、味来判断对一种食物的喜好。不过出于对健康情况的考虑，人们应该多吃一些对健康有好处的食物，而不能凭自己的喜好。在本文中作者通过人与动物的对比，提出人们要选择正确的食物。

1.C名词辨析。A.男人；B. 孩子们；C. 人类；D.成年人。根据后句When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know…..可知作者指人也像动物一样能认出可以吃的食物，在此处是泛指与动物相对的人类，其他选项过于片面，故答案选C。

2.B名词辨析。 A. 器官；B. 感官；C. 部分；D.意思。从下文because they do not look, smell or taste very nice.说明了人可以通过看、闻、尝等来决定对食物的喜好，而且通过other一词也可以推测出此处指和“看”一样的感官，答案选B。

3.C动词辨析。 A. 憎恨；B.买         ；C.喜欢  ；D. 假想。通过下文中的对比句子You may dislike some types of food because….可以推断此处指人们因为味道而喜欢某种食物，答案选C。

4.D动词辨析。 A. 吸收；B. 吃喝；C. 接触；D. 尝起来。根据or前面内容smelt good可以判断此处指一种感官，而且四个选项中只有taste是系动词，后面可以跟形容词做表语，故答案选D。

5.D名词辨析。 A. 生物；B. 哺乳动物；C. 人们 ；      D. 动物。根据下文解释内容A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.可知此处指的是动物，答案选D。

6.A形容词辨析。A. 不同的；B. 稀罕的；C. 相似的；D. 独特的。让步状语从句和主句内容存在转折关系，所以根据后句中的only one type可以判断此处指许多不同种类的食物，答案选A。

7.B形容词辨析。A. 典型性的；B. 特指的；C. 特殊的  ；D. 异常的。从常识可知大熊猫是只吃竹子这一种食物的，particular“专指的，特指的”强调单一性，答案选B。

8.C名词辨析。 A.食物； B. 一顿饭； C. 选择；D. 饮食。根据语境可以判断即使有的动物给它们多种食物，他们也只是吃其中的某一种，故答案选C。

9.B名词辨析。 A.花；B蔬菜；C. 水果；D. 枝条。上文提到了the leaves of a cabbage，然后根据后句中的other可以判断此处指和cabbage一样的蔬菜，答案选B。

10.A形容词辨析。A.多样的；B. 有创造力的 ；C. 选取的；D. 营养的。上文介绍了许多以单一食物为食的动物，根据however表示的转折意味可以判处此处指多种食物，答案选A。

12.C名词辨析。 A.动物；B. 中国人；C. 人类；D. 外国人。从下文内容We often eat food because we like it…..等可知本段讲述的是人类的饮食，故答案选C。
