I sld ne f my cars and switched t an e-bike ne year ag. I knew that I was ding smething gd fr the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as smething reserved fr the deeply cmmitted and adventurus, smething that Greenpeace vlunteers did t make the wrld better. Hwever, I live in Clrad; e-bike wuld mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing t d, I thught, but it was nt ging t be fun.
I was very wrng. Biking t wrk was mre than nt unpleasant — it was entirely captivating. Befre selling my car, I wrried mst abut riding in the cld winter mnths. But I quickly learned that, as the saying ges, there is n bad weather, nly bad clthes. I wear glves, warm scks and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almst never t cld. Instead, I feel warmer and strnger after the ride.
Thugh I, like many wuld-be cyclists, was wrried abut arriving at the ffice sweaty in htter mnths, the e-bike slved my prblem. Even when there was 35 degrees Celsius utside, I didn’t sweat, thanks t my bike’s pedal-assist mde (脚踏辅助模式). If I am hnest, smetimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched t pedal-assist mde, sat back and enjyed my ride.
One day, shrtly after selling ur car, I hpped n my bike after a stressful day at wrk and rde hme dwn a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt mre cnnected t the physical envirnment arund me than I had when I’d traveled the same rute surrunded by metal and glass. This, I have t say, inspired me t appreciate the beauty in my life and was what delighted me mst n the bike.
Of curse, e-bikes aren’t ging t replace every car n every trip. In a cuntry where uncntrlled stretching f suburbs and malls and unprtected bike paths are the nrm, it’s unrealistic t expect e-bikes t replace cars in the way that the Mdel T (福特公司第一款大规模生产汽车) replaced hrses. But as an individual, making shrt trips n an e-bike wuld save mney, cut carbn ftprints, and imprve health and well-being.
4. What did the authr riginally think f letting g f his car?
A. Healthy.B. Tugh.C. Fun.D. Terrifying.
5. What des the underlined wrd “captivating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Fascinating.B. Challenging.C. Secure.D. Trublesme.
6. What did the authr like best abut the ride?
A. Enjying the beauty alng the rad.B. Relaxing in the pedal-assist mde.
C. Hurrying hme after a stressful day.D. Being surrunded by metal and glass.
7. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. E-bike will replace cars eventually.
B. It is advisable t make lng trips n e-bikes.
C. Cyclists shuld d mre t prtect themselves.
D. E-bikes are ecnmical and envirnmental-friendly.

Accrding t a study published this week, habitual napping (小睡) appears t be assciated with a large brain vlume in adults althugh experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cst caused frm the lst time and the fatigue-related (与疲劳有关的) errrs. The wrk fllwed previus studies that suggested a brief nap culd imprve peple’s ability t learn.
Arianna Huffingtn, a c-funder f Huff Pst and the funder and chief executive f Thrive Glbal, said, “Given the latest science n the effectiveness f napping and the clear link between emplyees feeling well rested and their prductivity, it’s lng past time that businesses embrace shrt naps at wrk.”
Sme businesses, including Thrive Glbal, have already intrduced facilities fr emplyees t take naps. Ggle intrduced sleep pds as far back as 2014 and cmpanies like Nike and Ben&Jerry’s intrduced nap rms. The practice has even been adpted by the NHS, with a grwing number f hspitals intrducing sleep pds fr staff in an effrt t help them get mre rest. Emplyees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwd, f Ben&Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets emplyees mre invlved and creative, we’re happy t prvide that fr ur team members.”
Unfrtunately, the practice f napping still suffers frm ur cllective cncept that sleep equals weakness and laziness. Hwever, the perfrmance-enhancing benefits f naps have been n secret t many leaders thrughut histry. It als gives the higher-ups the chance t acknwledge the 24/7 culture and cme up with tp-dwn slutins that encurage wrkers t take care f themselves in and ut f wrk.
While sleep experts stressed that a daytime dze culd be beneficial, they said it was crucial t get enugh shut-eye at the end f a day. It is the late stage f sleep, smetimes missed by early risers, that strengthens the nerve circuits that make fr learning and memry, allwing the brain t make and cnslidate new neutral cnnectins. Additinally, priritizing sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep perid is essential fr verall well-being.
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly abut?
A. The brain vlume in adults.
B. Previus studies abut napping.
C. A research finding published recently.
D. The link between napping and emplyees’ prductivity.
9. What is Arianna Huffingtn’s attitude tward napping?
A. Dismissive.B. Apprving.C. Ambiguus.D. Indifferent.
10. Why are s many cmpanies mentined in the passage?
A. T advcate enugh rest.B. T present the current situatin.
C T cmpare the differences.D. T praise creative emplyees.
11. What will pssibly be discussed in the paragraph that fllws?
A. The cllective cncept f napping.B. The benefits f napping.
C. The appraches t a sund sleep at night.D. The imprtance f well-being.
D
In what they claim is a wrld first, researchers in Japan have develped chpsticks that artificially create the taste f salt, as part f effrts t reduce sdium (钠) levels in sme f the cuntry’s mst ppular dishes.
The chpsticks wrk using electrical stimulatin and a mini-cmputer wrn n the eater’s wristband. The device transmits sdium ins (离子) frm fd, thrugh the chpsticks, t the muth where they create a sense f saltiness, says Hmei Miyashita, a prfessr at Meiji University in Tky, whse labratry cperated with the fd and drink manufacturer Kirin t develp the device. The team plan t imprve the first design and hpe t make the chpsticks available t cnsumers next year.
The chpsticks culd reach a large audience in Japan, where the traditinal diet tends t be high in salt due t the use f cmpnents such as mis and sy sauce. The average Japanese adult cnsumes abut 10 grams f salt a day, duble the amunt recmmended by the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO). The health ministry has prpsed reducing daily salt intake t a maximum f 7.5 grams fr men and 6.5 grams fr wmen.
The chpsticks use “very weak electricity — nt enugh t affect the human bdy — t adjust the functin f ins such as sdium chlride and sdium glutamate t change the perceptin f taste by making fd seem t taste strnger r weaker”, Miyashita said in a statement.
Miyashita said clinical tests n peple wh fllw a lw-sdium diet had cnfirmed that the device enhances the salty taste f lw-sdium fd by abut 1.5 times. High salt intake can cntribute t high bld pressure, the leading cause f heart attacks and strkes. “T prevent these diseases, we need t reduce the amunt f salt we take,” said Miyashita. “If we try t avid taking less salt in a cnventinal way, we wuld need t suffer the pain f cutting ur favurite fd frm ur diet, r suffer eating fd with very little taste.” Miyashita’s lab has als invented a lickable TV screen that imitates the flavurs f varius fds.
12. What des the secnd paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Hw the chpsticks wrk.B. What the team plans t d.
C. What the device is designed fr.D. Hw a sense f saltiness is created.
13. What can be inferred frm paragraph 3?
A Japanese diets are always high in salt.
B. The chpsticks may be ppular in Japan.
C. A man shuld eat less than 6.5 grams f salt everyday.
D. The WHO advised an adult t take 20 grams f salt a day.
14. What d we knw abut the chpsticks accrding t Miyashita?
A. They can cure heart attacks and strkes.
B. They use electricity t affect the human bdy.
C. They make fd 1.5 times higher in salt cntent.
D. They help cut dwn salt withut cmprmising n flavrs.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Sdium des great harm t ur health
B. Japanese less salty fd gain ppularity
C. High-techs imitating the flavurs f salty fds
D. Japan invents e-chpsticks making fd taste salty

I sld ne f my cars and switched t an e-bike ne year ag. I knew that I was ding smething gd fr the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as smething reserved fr the deeply cmmitted and adventurus, smething that Greenpeace vlunteers did t make the wrld better. Hwever, I live in Clrad; e-bike wuld mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing t d, I thught, but it was nt ging t be fun.
I was very wrng. Biking t wrk was mre than nt unpleasant — it was entirely captivating. Befre selling my car, I wrried mst abut riding in the cld winter mnths. But I quickly learned that, as the saying ges, there is n bad weather, nly bad clthes. I wear glves, warm scks and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almst never t cld. Instead, I feel warmer and strnger after the ride.
Thugh I, like many wuld-be cyclists, was wrried abut arriving at the ffice sweaty in htter mnths, the e-bike slved my prblem. Even when there was 35 degrees Celsius utside, I didn’t sweat, thanks t my bike’s pedal-assist mde (脚踏辅助模式). If I am hnest, smetimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched t pedal-assist mde, sat back and enjyed my ride.
One day, shrtly after selling ur car, I hpped n my bike after a stressful day at wrk and rde hme dwn a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt mre cnnected t the physical envirnment arund me than I had when I’d traveled the same rute surrunded by metal and glass. This, I have t say, inspired me t appreciate the beauty in my life and was what delighted me mst n the bike.
Of curse, e-bikes aren’t ging t replace every car n every trip. In a cuntry where uncntrlled stretching f suburbs and malls and unprtected bike paths are the nrm, it’s unrealistic t expect e-bikes t replace cars in the way that the Mdel T (福特公司第一款大规模生产的汽车) replaced hrses. But as an individual, making shrt trips n an e-bike wuld save mney, cut carbn ftprints, and imprve health and well-being.
4. What did the authr riginally think f letting g f his car?
A. Healthy.B. Tugh.C. Fun.D. Terrifying.
5. What des the underlined wrd “captivating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Fascinating.B. Challenging.C. Secure.D. Trublesme.
6. What did the authr like best abut the ride?
A. Enjying the beauty alng the rad.B. Relaxing in the pedal-assist mde.
C. Hurrying hme after a stressful day.D. Being surrunded by metal and glass.
7. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. E-bike will replace cars eventually.
B. It is advisable t make lng trips n e-bikes.
C. Cyclists shuld d mre t prtect themselves.
D. E-bikes are ecnmical and envirnmental-friendly.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从汽车换到电动自行车后的积极体验，强调了这种转变不仅环保，还能带来快乐和健康益处。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Hwever, I live in Clrad; e-bike wuld mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer.(然而，我住在科罗拉多州；骑电动自行车意味着冬天挨冻，夏天大汗淋漓)”可知，科罗拉多州的气候不适合骑电动自行车，会让人受累。由此推知，作者原本认为放弃他的汽车是一个艰难的选择。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Biking t wrk was mre than nt unpleasant(骑自行车上班是令人愉快的)”可知，作者觉得骑自行车上班是愉快的。由此可知，划线词captivating的意思是“迷人的，有魅力的”，和fascinating意思相近。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I felt mre cnnected t the physical envirnment arund me than I had when I’d traveled the same rute surrunded by metal and glass. This, I have t say, inspired me t appreciate the beauty in my life and was what delighted me mst n the bike.(我感觉自己与周围的自然环境更紧密地联系在一起，而不是走在被金属和玻璃包围的同一条路线上。我不得不说，这激发了我去欣赏生活中的美丽，也是我在自行车上最开心的事情)”可知，作者最喜欢骑行的一点是欣赏沿途的美景。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In a cuntry where uncntrlled stretching f suburbs and malls and unprtected bike paths are the nrm, it’s unrealistic t expect e-bikes t replace cars in the way that the Mdel T (福特公司第一款大规模生产的汽车) replaced hrses.(在一个郊区和购物中心不受控制的延伸以及不受保护的自行车道成为常态的国家，期望电动自行车像T型车取代马匹那样取代汽车是不现实的)”可知，当前的城市交通情况很不利于电动自行车的发展。由此推知，城市需要一个更具包容性的交通网络。故选D。
C
Accrding t a study published this week, habitual napping (小睡) appears t be assciated with a large brain vlume in adults althugh experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cst caused frm the lst time and the fatigue-related (与疲劳有关的) errrs. The wrk fllwed previus studies that suggested a brief nap culd imprve peple’s ability t learn.
Arianna Huffingtn, a c-funder f Huff Pst and the funder and chief executive f Thrive Glbal, said, “Given the latest science n the effectiveness f napping and the clear link between emplyees feeling well rested and their prductivity, it’s lng past time that businesses embrace shrt naps at wrk.”
Sme businesses, including Thrive Glbal, have already intrduced facilities fr emplyees t take naps. Ggle intrduced sleep pds as far back as 2014 and cmpanies like Nike and Ben&Jerry’s intrduced nap rms. The practice has even been adpted by the NHS, with a grwing number f hspitals intrducing sleep pds fr staff in an effrt t help them get mre rest. Emplyees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwd, f Ben&Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets emplyees mre invlved and creative, we’re happy t prvide that fr ur team members.”
Unfrtunately, the practice f napping still suffers frm ur cllective cncept that sleep equals weakness and laziness. Hwever, the perfrmance-enhancing benefits f naps have been n secret t many leaders thrughut histry. It als gives the higher-ups the chance t acknwledge the 24/7 culture and cme up with tp-dwn slutins that encurage wrkers t take care f themselves in and ut f wrk.
While sleep experts stressed that a daytime dze culd be beneficial, they said it was crucial t get enugh shut-eye at the end f a day. It is the late stage f sleep, smetimes missed by early risers, that strengthens the nerve circuits that make fr learning and memry, allwing the brain t make and cnslidate new neutral cnnectins. Additinally, priritizing sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep perid is essential fr verall well-being.
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly abut?
A. The brain vlume in adults.
B. Previus studies abut napping.
C. A research finding published recently.
D. The link between napping and emplyees’ prductivity.
9. What is Arianna Huffingtn’s attitude tward napping?
A. Dismissive.B. Apprving.C. Ambiguus.D. Indifferent.
10. Why are s many cmpanies mentined in the passage?
A. T advcate enugh rest.B. T present the current situatin.
C. T cmpare the differences.D. T praise creative emplyees.
11. What will pssibly be discussed in the paragraph that fllws?
A. The cllective cncept f napping.B. The benefits f napping.
C. The appraches t a sund sleep at night.D. The imprtance f well-being.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了小睡对成年人大脑的益处、企业推广小睡的现状及专家对睡眠的建议
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Accrding t a study published this week, habitual napping (小睡) appears t be assciated with a large brain vlume in adults althugh experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cst caused frm the lst time and the fatigue-related (与疲劳有关的) errrs. The wrk fllwed previus studies that suggested a brief nap culd imprve peple’s ability t learn.(本周发表的一项研究显示，习惯性小睡似乎与成年人较大的脑容量有关，不过专家强调还需要开展进一步研究。小睡能减少因时间浪费和疲劳相关失误而产生的成本。此项研究是在先前研究的基础上进行的，先前研究表明，短暂小睡可以提高人们的学习能力)”可知，第一段主要介绍了最近发表的一项研究发现。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Arianna Huffingtn, a c-funder f Huff Pst and the funder and chief executive f Thrive Glbal, said, “Given the latest science n the effectiveness f napping and the clear link between emplyees feeling well rested and their prductivity, it’s lng past time that businesses embrace shrt naps at wrk.”(赫芬顿邮报的联合创始人、Thrive Glbal的创始人兼首席执行官阿莉安娜·赫芬顿表示：“鉴于最新的科学研究表明小睡的有效性，以及员工感觉休息良好与他们的生产力之间的明确联系，企业早就应该在工作中接受小睡了。”)”可推知，Arianna Huffingtn认为企业早就应该接受员工在工作中进行短暂小睡了。由此可推断出她对小睡持赞成的态度。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Sme businesses, including Thrive Glbal, have already intrduced facilities fr emplyees t take naps. Ggle intrduced sleep pds as far back as 2014 and cmpanies like Nike and Ben&Jerry’s intrduced nap rms. The practice has even been adpted by the NHS, with a grwing number f hspitals intrducing sleep pds fr staff in an effrt t help them get mre rest.(Thrive Glbal等企业已经提供员工小睡设施。早在2014年，谷歌就推出了睡眠舱，而Nike和Ben＆Jerry’s等公司也推出了小睡室。连NHS也采纳了这种做法，越来越多的医院为员工提供小睡舱，以帮助他们获得更多的休息时间)”可推知，文章中提到了这么多公司，是为了呈现当前的情况，也就是很多公司都已允许员工短暂小睡。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While sleep experts stressed that a daytime dze culd be beneficial, they said it was crucial t get enugh shut-eye at the end f a day.(虽然睡眠专家强调白天小睡可能有益，但他们表示，一天结束时保证充足的睡眠至关重要)”以及“Additinally, priritizing sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep perid is essential fr verall well-being.(此外，在有规律的夜间睡眠期间优先考虑充足的睡眠对整体健康至关重要)”可推知，接下来应是讲述保证充足睡眠的方法，也就是睡眠的方法。故选C。
D
In what they claim is a wrld first, researchers in Japan have develped chpsticks that artificially create the taste f salt, as part f effrts t reduce sdium (钠) levels in sme f the cuntry’s mst ppular dishes.
The chpsticks wrk using electrical stimulatin and a mini-cmputer wrn n the eater’s wristband. The device transmits sdium ins (离子) frm fd, thrugh the chpsticks, t the muth where they create a sense f saltiness, says Hmei Miyashita, a prfessr at Meiji University in Tky, whse labratry cperated with the fd and drink manufacturer Kirin t develp the device. The team plan t imprve the first design and hpe t make the chpsticks available t cnsumers next year.
The chpsticks culd reach a large audience in Japan, where the traditinal diet tends t be high in salt due t the use f cmpnents such as mis and sy sauce. The average Japanese adult cnsumes abut 10 grams f salt a day, duble the amunt recmmended by the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO). The health ministry has prpsed reducing daily salt intake t a maximum f 7.5 grams fr men and 6.5 grams fr wmen.
The chpsticks use “very weak electricity — nt enugh t affect the human bdy — t adjust the functin f ins such as sdium chlride and sdium glutamate t change the perceptin f taste by making fd seem t taste strnger r weaker”, Miyashita said in a statement.
Miyashita said clinical tests n peple wh fllw a lw-sdium diet had cnfirmed that the device enhances the salty taste f lw-sdium fd by abut 1.5 times. High salt intake can cntribute t high bld pressure, the leading cause f heart attacks and strkes. “T prevent these diseases, we need t reduce the amunt f salt we take,” said Miyashita. “If we try t avid taking less salt in a cnventinal way, we wuld need t suffer the pain f cutting ur favurite fd frm ur diet, r suffer eating fd with very little taste.” Miyashita’s lab has als invented a lickable TV screen that imitates the flavurs f varius fds.
12. What des the secnd paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Hw the chpsticks wrk.B. What the team plans t d.
C. What the device is designed fr.D. Hw a sense f saltiness is created.
13. What can be inferred frm paragraph 3?
A. Japanese diets are always high in salt.
B. The chpsticks may be ppular in Japan.
C. A man shuld eat less than 6.5 grams f salt everyday.
D. The WHO advised an adult t take 20 grams f salt a day.
14. What d we knw abut the chpsticks accrding t Miyashita?
A. They can cure heart attacks and strkes.
B. They use electricity t affect the human bdy.
C. They make fd 1.5 times higher in salt cntent.
D. They help cut dwn salt withut cmprmising n flavrs.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Sdium des great harm t ur health
B. Japanese less salty fd gain ppularity
C. High-techs imitating the flavurs f salty fds
D. Japan invents e-chpsticks making fd taste salty
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是日本研究人员发明了一种能够人工创造咸味的筷子，旨在减少日本一些最受欢迎的菜肴中的钠含量。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The chpsticks wrk using electrical stimulatin and a mini-cmputer wrn n the eater’s wristband. The device transmits sdium ins (离子) frm fd, thrugh the chpsticks, t the muth where they create a sense f saltiness, says Hmei Miyashita, a prfessr at Meiji University in Tky, whse labratry cperated with the fd and drink manufacturer Kirin t develp the device. (东京明治大学的教授Hmei Miyashita表示，这些筷子通过电刺激和佩戴在食客手腕上的微型计算机工作。该设备会将食物中的钠离子通过筷子传送到口中，从而产生咸味。Hmei Miyashita的实验室与食品和饮料制造商Kirin公司合作开发了这一设备。)”可知，东京明治大学的教授Hmei Miyashita表示，这些筷子通过电刺激和佩戴在食客手腕上的微型计算机工作，并简要介绍了如何通过筷子产生咸味儿的，由此可知，第二段主要告诉我们筷子的工作原理。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The chpsticks culd reach a large audience in Japan, where the traditinal diet tends t be high in salt due t the use f cmpnents such as mis and sy sauce(这种筷子可能会在日本受到广泛欢迎，因为日本的传统饮食由于使用味噌和酱油等成分，往往含盐量很高)” 可推知，这种筷子可能在日本很受欢迎。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Miyashita said clinical tests n peple wh fllw a lw-sdium diet had cnfirmed that the device enhances the salty taste f lw-sdium fd by abut 1.5 times. High salt intake can cntribute t high bld pressure, the leading cause f heart attacks and strkes. “T prevent these diseases, we need t reduce the amunt f salt we take,” said Miyashita. “If we try t avid taking less salt in a cnventinal way, we wuld need t suffer the pain f cutting ur favurite fd frm ur diet, r suffer eating fd with very little taste.”(宫下说，对遵循低钠饮食的人进行的临床试验证实，该设备将低钠食物的咸味提高了约1.5倍。高盐摄入会导致高血压，这是心脏病发作和中风的主要原因。宫下说：“为了预防这些疾病，我们需要减少盐的摄入量。”“如果我们试图以传统的方式避免少吃盐，我们就需要忍受从我们的饮食中减少我们最喜欢的食物的痛苦，或者忍受吃没有味道的食物的痛苦”)” 可知，这种筷子能在不影响味道的情况下帮助减少盐的摄入。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In what they claim is a wrld first, researchers in Japan have develped chpsticks that artificially create the taste f salt, as part f effrts t reduce sdium (钠) levels in sme f the cuntry’s mst ppular dishes. (日本的研究人员研发出了一种人工制造咸味的筷子，他们声称这是世界首例，这是减少日本一些最受欢迎的菜肴中钠含量的努力的一部分。)”可知，本文主要讲的是日本研究人员发明了一种能够人工创造咸味的筷子，旨在减少日本一些最受欢迎的菜肴中的钠含量，因此题目“Japan invents electrnic chpsticks making fd taste salty(日本发明了电子筷子，使食物尝起来咸)”概括了文章主题，可作为最恰当的标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中西方饮食的差异，包括用餐方式、汤的享用时间、烹饪技巧以及餐饮文化等方面的不同。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：中西方饮食的差异引起了大多数来中国旅游的人的好奇心。空格处用名词作宾语，curius的名词是curisity，意为“好奇心”，是不可数名词，故填curisity。
【37题详解】
考查时态，主谓一致和省略。句意：此外，当你在中国旅行时，你很可能会发现一些不同的饮食方式。when引导的时间状语从句意为“当你在中国旅行时”，用现在进行时，是when yu are traveling/travelling thrugh China，从句中主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此空格处是traveling/travelling。故填traveling/travelling。
【38题详解】
考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：例如，在西方，汤通常是一餐开始时的开胃菜，而中国人更喜欢在餐后享用汤。汤是被享用，且句子描述客观事实，因此句子用一般现在时的被动语态，主语sup是不可数名词，因此空格处是is enjyed，故填is enjyed。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：例如，在西方，汤通常是一餐开始时的开胃菜，而/但是中国人更喜欢在餐后享用汤。根据语境可知，句子表示“在西方，汤通常是一餐开始时的开胃菜，而/但是中国人更喜欢在餐后享用汤”，空格处用while表示“而”表示对比，或者用but/yet表转折，故填while/but/yet。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：你可能还会注意到在准备饭菜和烹饪技巧上的一些明显差异，这些都是很难自己学会的。n yur wn意为“你自己”，因此空格处用介词n，故填n。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：因此，烹饪班正成为那些有兴趣通过烹饪了解中国文化的人们越来越受欢迎的活动。空格处用副词increasingly修饰形容词ppular，increasingly意为“越来越多地”，故填increasingly。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意：如果你想更进一步，留意一下居民在自己家里举办的烹饪课程。根据语境可知，空格处意为“更进一步”，用比较级further。故填further。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你想更进一步，留意一下居民在自己家里举办的烹饪课程。句中谓语是keep，空格处用非谓语动词，classes和hld之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填held。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在饮食文化方面，对于一个习惯用自己的盘子单独吃饭的西方人来说，与许多人共用许多盘子，尤其是在节日期间，会有一点文化冲击。westerner是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，westerner是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在饮食文化方面，对于一个习惯用自己的盘子单独吃饭的西方人来说，与许多人共用许多盘子，尤其是在节日期间，会有一点文化冲击。空格处是谓语，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语是动名词sharing，谓语动词用单数，因此空格处是presents。故填presents。
