試題分析：本文敘述了美國人的飲食變化，他們越來越重視食物的營養(yǎng)價值和對健康的影響，他們?nèi)コ�市買東西要仔細(xì)看一下標(biāo)簽，他們愿意買不含化學(xué)物質(zhì)的食品，有的人還愿意品嘗外國的大餐。

1.因?yàn)榭崭袂懊嬗泄谠~，后有名詞所以判斷這里該用形容詞，句意：一個是日益增長的有營養(yǎng)價值的食品的意識；根據(jù)an increasing interest 也可判斷與increasing同一的詞，所以用growing，故選E。

2.根據(jù)Also more and more Americans have become interested in food from other countries. 來自國外的食品所以用international，故選H。

3.這是固定短語be concernedabout關(guān)心；美國人越來越關(guān)心健康，故選C。

4.根據(jù)the package over to read the labels carefully.這里是turn over翻過來，他們要翻過來仔細(xì)地看一下標(biāo)簽，故選A。

5.這里是定語從句，先行詞是food，關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語，food與動詞之間是被動關(guān)系，這里必須用謂語動詞的過去分詞，所以只有F、J和G，根據(jù)句意應(yīng)該是食物被生產(chǎn)出來，故選G。

6.另外一組美國人被稱為素食者，已經(jīng)決定不吃肉，這里Americans與call之間是被動關(guān)系，這里是過去分詞短語作定語，故選J。

7.他們出去到國際的餐館迫切想嘗吃一下不熟悉的菜，根據(jù)句意故選B。

8.在美國，日本、法國、意大利、希臘和許多其他國家的食譜都是受歡迎的，根據(jù)句意故選I。

9.人們過去常常說美國人吃的都是沒有興趣的不健康的食品，但是這種現(xiàn)象在過去的十年里已經(jīng)發(fā)生了很大改變，故選F。

考點(diǎn)：選詞填空。

點(diǎn)評：選詞填空題，該題型是一種綜合性很強(qiáng)的閱讀類試題，集閱讀理解與完形填空于一身，主要考查學(xué)生對詞匯、句型、語法知識的綜合運(yùn)用能力、閱讀能力以及邏輯推理、綜合判斷和分析歸納的能力。要求學(xué)生根據(jù)文章含義從所給的10 個詞匯中選出9 個恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~，每詞只能用一次，并用其正確形式進(jìn)行填空，使短文語法正確、意思通順、前后連貫、結(jié)構(gòu)完整。該題設(shè)置靈活，難度較大，考生極易失分。
