Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you'll realize they're everywhere—the crazier, the better.
1．Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce (韩国的辣椒酱) so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there's music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that's whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2．Waikiki Spam Jam (怀基基午餐肉节)
Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May serving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3．Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it's all about an egg far less sweet.Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷)—15,000 eggs strong—for the townsfolk (市民)．
4．Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota (明尼苏达州), the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.
本文为应用文。主要介绍了四个最疯狂的美食节：韩国的石锅拌饭节、美国夏威夷州的怀基基午餐肉节、法国的贝西埃尔镇复活节彩蛋节、美国明尼苏达州的土豆节。
21．Bibimbap is ________.
A．a kind of egg cake far less sweet
B．a can of meat made mainly from pork C．a fried potato ball covered with sauce D．a rice dish mixed up with vegetables, etc 答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据Bibimbap Festival第一段中的 their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce(韩国的辣椒酱) “他们的‘什锦饭’是一道丰盛的米饭，上面放着生牛肉、彩虹蔬菜、生鸡蛋和辣椒酱” 可知Bibimbap 是米饭混合各种蔬菜等而成的。分析选项可知D符合题意，故选D。
22．Waikiki Spam Jam takes place ________. A．from 22 to 25 October B．in May in Hawaii
C．in Barnesville, Minnesota D．in a French town 答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据Waikiki Spam Jam(怀基基午餐肉节)中的The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May可知，Waikiki Spam Jam节发生在夏威夷，时间是5月份。由此可知B项符合题意，故选B。
23．If Jim wants to learn Asian food culture, he'd better go to ________. A．Bibimbap Festival B．Waikiki Spam Jam
C．Bessieres Easter Egg Festival D．Potato Days Festival 答案：A
解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，四个最疯狂的美食节中Bibimbap Festival是在韩国，Waikiki Spam Jam在美国，Bessieres Easter Egg Festival在法国，Potato Days Festival在美国。分析选项可知，韩国是属于亚洲的，故想了解亚洲饮食文化，要去韩国的Bibimbap Festival，故A为正确答案。

In China, chain restaurants—especially the big multinational ones—are cool.Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol.It not only says, “I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，” but also, “I'm cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization.”
Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet (美食的)．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing “I'm hungry！” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald's), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let's just be friends” phone call the next day.
In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let's go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive, there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.
Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.
I do, however, have a confession (坦白)．After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I, too, have retreated to McDonald's.
本文介绍中国人和英国人对于国际连锁餐厅的不同态度。
24．Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ________.
A．the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B．the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants C．they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status D．these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date 答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“It not only says, ‘I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，’ but also, ‘I'm cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization.’”可知，很多中国人去连锁餐厅是为了显示他们的富有和社会地位。故选C。
25．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B．Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK. C．Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK. D．It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant. 答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open”(连锁餐厅是在新年那天别的地方没有开门时才去的)可知，在英国新年时大部分的独立商店都停止营业。故答案为C。
26．We can infer from the article that ________. A．the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut B．the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends C．many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality D．many Britons don't like big corporations 答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene.”和“there's a satisfaction in knowing
your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.”可知，很多英国人不喜欢大公司。故选D。
27．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean? A．Adapted. C．Subscribed. 答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。最后一段画线单词所在句子的句意：在我搬来中国之后，我发现米饭和宫保鸡丁太多了，所以我也撤回到麦当劳。故这里与retreat的意思最接近的是 switch (转变)。故选D。
C
The first potatoes were grown by the Incas of South America, more than 400 years ago. Their descendants (后代) in Eenador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14, 000 feet up in the Andes Mountains. (That's higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.
People eat potatoes in many ways—baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.
Before shipping, every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.
So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”．

B．Europe
D．the Andes Mountains B．Contributed. D．Switched.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s. 可知， 北美最早的土豆来自欧洲。故选B项。
29．Why does the company pay special attention to the way the fries are prepared? A．Because selling fries is a big business. B．Because fries are not easy to prepare at all. C．Because Americans are particular about fries. D．Because the government has a strict rule for that. 答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared. 可知， 在美国， 炸薯条是个很大的行业， 所以会被特殊关注。故选A项。
30．In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say ________. A．small potatoes cannot be used for fries B．potatoes are really important for Americans C．eating in America is the very first thing D．fries are really important for food industry 答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”可知， 在美国， 炸薯条在食品产业中不是“小土豆”(无足轻重的东西)。由此可推测， 炸薯条在食品产业中占有重要的地位。故选D项。

What Is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. __31__ Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight, health and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. __32__ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. __33__
