21、An analysis of foods we eat every day such as bread, coffee, milk, meat and tap water has expel our exposure to chemicals. The 24th Australian Total Diet Study by Food Standards Australia New Zealand tested 94 commonly consumed foods and drinks. The first part of the study tested three food chemicals: acrylamide, aluminum and perchlorates.

While the result fell within the safe range overall, levels of acrylamide appeared to be of possible concern to human health. Acrylamide forms naturally in carbohydrate-rich foods when they are heated at high temperatures by roasting, baking, grilling, toasting and frying.

“The acrylamide is formed in natural chemical reactions between food components(组成部分) that also give us tasty browning and crunchy texture,” says Professor Ian Rae, an honorary professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne.

The chemical is known to cause cancer in animals, but in humans the exposure “threshold” is unknown, say the World Health Organization. “There is no direct evidence acrylamide causes cancer in humans, but food regulators, including FSANZ, agree that we should reduce our exposure,” the study’s authors say.

They found that cereals and grain-based foods were the main sources of acrylamide in our diets, followed by snacks, condiments, fried potato products and meat.

Surprisingly high levels of the chemical were found in fried beef mince, fresh and fried onions, while pre-packaged olives, chocolate-flavoured energy drinks, grilled asparagus, baked beans and prune juice also rated a mention.

“Beef mince has a high surface area which would allow acrylamide to form if the appropriate precursor chemicals(易制毒化学品) were present,” the authors say. Similarly, onions have a relatively low sugar content compared to many other starchy vegetables. The results indicate that the cooking method and surface area of the food may be a contributing factor for acrylamide formation.

Also confounding expectations were pizza and coffee, which did not have detectable levels of the chemical. Fresh fruit and vegetables were not tested. “The formation of acrylamide in raw fruit and vegetables is unlikely,” the authors say.

In all tested foods, the acrylamide levels “were generally lower than, or comparable to, those reported in Australian and international studies”. However, the authors acknowledge that based on WHO estimates “the acrylamide exposure of Australian consumers is consistent(与.….保持一致) with those considered to be of possible concern to human health”.

Dr Tan Musgrave. a senior lecturer in the school of medical sciences at the University of Adelaide, responded to the study’s results saying: “Our foods are of international quality and indeed perform better in some aspects compared to international standards.”

【1】According to Australian studies, acrylamide is a chemical that ________.

A．could bring about cancer to animals and human beings.

B．is formed naturally in carbohydrate-rich foods in boiling them.

C．should be reduced with regard to human exposure.

22、   Last year, I accepted an overseas job in a small town of China as an English teacher. I had been there for only a few days, and I was already feeling homesick. For some reason, I had an urge (冲动) to make some fresh bread, so I decided to go to the store to buy some flour. 【1】 , I thought I would find where flour was displayed (陈列).

The small town where I lived had one tiny store. I walked around the store a few times, but I did not see a bag of anything that appeared to be flour. I wanted to ask one of the three saleswomen where the flour was, but I did not know the word for “flour.” Just then, I saw one of my students leaving the store. I ran to him and asked, “How do you say ‘flour’?” 【2】.

I ran back into the store and found one of the saleswomen and asked in Chinese, “Ni hao, hua zai na li?” The woman moved as quickly as she could to the far right side of the store. Finally, I thought to myself, “I’m going to be able to make bread.” 【3】 when the woman, pointed to some red roses. At first I was confused, but suddenly it all made sense. 【4】 When I asked my student for the Chinese word for “flour”, I did not specify (详细说明) whether I meant “flour” or “flower”.

I did not buy any roses that night. 【5】. My very limited knowledge of Chinese caused me to go home empty-handed. However, I learned the value of simple vocabulary in speaking a second language.

C．He told me effortlessly that the word was “hua”

D．Although I knew my Chinese skills were limited
