题目解答

答案

我们来逐步分析这道题：

题干理解：

题目问的是：

“地中海饮食、北欧饮食和冲绳饮食有什么特点？”

选项包括：

A. 橄榄油和红酒
B. 水果和蔬菜
C. 应季本地农产品
D. 未经加工的食材

文章内容分析：

文中提到：

> "Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets featured in Pasternak's book."

意思是，这些健康饮食（地中海、北欧、冲绳）与北美的饮食方式形成鲜明对比。

接着前面提到：

> "We don't prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods,"

说明北美饮食的问题是：

  • 不注重应季和本地食材
  • 添加大量盐、糖和增稠剂

因此，地中海、北欧和冲绳饮食的特点应该是：

  • 注重应季和本地食材
  • 少加工、少添加

选项分析：

A. 橄榄油和红酒 —— 地中海饮食确实包括这些，但不是所有三种饮食的共同特点。
B. 水果和蔬菜 —— 这些饮食都包含，但不是它们的“特色”或区别于北美饮食的要点。
C. 应季本地农产品 —— 正文明确提到这是北美饮食缺乏的，而地中海、北欧、冲绳饮食具备的。
D. 未经加工的食材 —— 也合理，但文中更强调“应季”和“本地”，而不是“加工与否”。

结论：

最符合文中描述的选项是：

> C. 应季本地农产品

答案：

$\boxed{C}$

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的理解和推理能力。解题的关键在于理解文章中对北美饮食方式的描述，并通过对比得出地中海、北欧和冲绳饮食的特点。

  1. 首先明确文章中对北美饮食的描述：
    • 文中提到 “We don't prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods”，这表明北美饮食不注重应季和本地食材，并且会添加大量盐、糖和增稠剂。
  2. 然后根据对比关系推断地中海、北欧和冲绳饮食的特点：
    • 因为文章指出 “Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets featured in Pasternak's book”，即这些健康饮食与北美饮食形成鲜明对比。
    • 所以可以推断出地中海、北欧和冲绳饮食注重应季和本地食材，且少添加盐、糖和增稠剂等。
  3. 最后对各个选项进行分析：
    • 选项A：橄榄油和红酒是地中海饮食的特色，但并非是地中海、北欧和冲绳三种饮食的共同特点，所以A选项不符合。
    • 选项B：水果和蔬菜虽然是这些饮食都包含的，但不是它们区别于北美饮食的关键特点，所以B选项不合适。
    • 选项C：应季本地农产品正是北美饮食缺乏而地中海、北欧和冲绳饮食具备的，与我们的推断相符，所以C选项正确。
    • 选项D：未经加工的食材虽然也合理，但文中更强调 “应季” 和 “本地”，而不是 “加工与否”，所以D选项不准确。
