许多人喜欢中餐。在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被

视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看。烹饪技艺和配料在中

国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜色、

味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师

总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡，所以中餐既味美又健康。

势就是所有者能通过出租他们无法物尽其用的物品来赚钱。

56．A)。定位：由题干中的appetite和foodintake定位到文章

首段第一句。

。详解：事实细节题。文章开篇指出了人们的食欲和食物摄取受

到诸多因素的影响，包括人们的饮食环境和对面前食物的认知，故答

案为A)。B)“食物中所含的成分”，文章仅在第六段提到了奶昔中含

有卡路里，包装上对卡路里含量的标注会给人们造成心理暗示，这主

要是用来论证对食物数量的认知会影响人们的饮食，而非从所含成分

方面分析对人们饮食造成的影响，可以排除；c)“我们饮食的时间”

和D)“我们饮食的速度”，文中均未提及，可以排除。67．D)。定位：

由题干中的remembered和previousmeal定位到文章第兰段第二

句。详解：推理判断题。定位句指出，饭后)ttJ,时后，决定人们饥饿程

度的不是他们已食用的食物量，而是他们吃饭时面前所见到的食物量，

也就是说，影响人们饥饿程度的是他们记忆中的食物量而不是胃里的

食物量。由此可推断，记忆对饮食造成影响，如果记忆中上顿饭吃了

很多，那么不管是不是真的吃了很多，都不会感觉太饿，故答案为
