The kelp， formerly known as Kun bu， is a large brown alga that grows in seawater. The kelp is shaped like a ribbon， so it is called the kelp. There are two kinds of the kelp， natural and cultured. The kelp is a kind of very common edible alga. The kelp is rich in much iodine and other trace elements， so it becomes many peoples favorite seafood.? It is an important source of iodine for many people.

海帶，古稱(chēng)昆布，是一種生長(zhǎng)在海水中的大型褐色藻類(lèi)植物。由于它的形狀像帶子，故稱(chēng)海帶。海帶分為自然和養(yǎng)殖兩種類(lèi)型，是一種很常見(jiàn)的可食用藻類(lèi)。海帶里面含有大量的碘和其他微量元素，營(yíng)養(yǎng)價(jià)值很高，深受大家的青睞。它是許多人補(bǔ)充碘元素的重要來(lái)源。

The kelp is the apple of most peoples eye. Whether it is served coldly， made into soup or served with other dishes， the kelp always tastes very delicious. But why does the kelp have to be knotted when cooking？ Many people join in the explanation. Some people say： The kelps knot is to prevent iodines from slipping， when people use chopsticks to clip it. While others think： The kelp should have their own shape. How beautiful the kelp knot looks！

海帶受到很多人的喜愛(ài)。不管是涼拌、煮湯還是搭配一些菜肴，海帶的口感都很好。但是，為什么烹飪時(shí)海帶要打個(gè)結(jié)呢？大家的回答七嘴八舌，各抒己見(jiàn)。有人說(shuō)，海帶打結(jié)是為了防止用筷子夾的時(shí)候滑掉;有人則認(rèn)為，海帶應(yīng)該有自己的造型，打個(gè)結(jié)挺好看的呀！

Some people also question： We make a kelp knot in order to prevent the kelps from slipping. Why dont we make a knot on sheet jelly and wide powder？ They have the same shape as the kelp！

有些人也提出了異議：如果海帶打個(gè)結(jié)是為了防滑，為什么粉皮、寬粉不打個(gè)結(jié)呢？它們的形狀和海帶的形狀差不多嘛！

Different people have different opinions. Why does the kelp have to be knotted when cooking？ Is it really just for its nice looks？ Truth to tell， the kelp knot isnt just for aesthetics， but for preventing iodines loss. The main reason is： they dont stick to the pot when cooking. When the kelp is cooked， the surface of the kelp turns sticky， sticky and slippery， and if it is sliced and placed in a pan， it becomes layered.? Dont mention using chopsticks to clip it， but it is hard for us to break it with your hands. If the kelp stick on the pot， it will get burnt. This is not really what we wanted！? So， the kelp must be knotted when cooking.? Thus， cooking or eating the kelp is very convenient and easy.? Why not do it？

大家的回答真是眾說(shuō)紛紜，莫衷一是。海帶在烹飪時(shí)為什么要打個(gè)結(jié)呢？真的是單純?yōu)榱撕每磫幔?說(shuō)實(shí)在的，海帶打結(jié)不僅是為了美觀、防止碘流失，主要原因在于防止海帶烹飪時(shí)粘鍋。海帶水煮之后表面會(huì)變得滑溜溜、黏糊糊，如果直接切成片放鍋里就會(huì)變得一層疊一層，別說(shuō)用筷子，就算我們用手都很難弄開(kāi)。如果海帶粘在鍋上，貼近鍋面的會(huì)煳掉的。這可不是我們想要的！所以，海帶在烹飪時(shí)一定要打個(gè)結(jié)，這樣對(duì)烹飪、食用都非常方便，何樂(lè)而不為呢？

Have you got it？? There are many things in our everyday life， just for convenience and ease. Use your head， and you can manage it easily！

你明白了嗎？ 生活中有很多事情僅僅是為了方便、輕松而已。動(dòng)動(dòng)腦筋，你就會(huì)很容易明白的！

Precautions for the kelps consumption：

Dont eat the kelp as main food. The kelp cannot be used as main food for a long time. The kelp has a high iodine content. If you take too much iodine， it will have a bad effect on your health. The kelp contains a certain amount of arsenic. Too much arsenic intake will cause arsenic poisoning. Therefore， before eating the kelp， it is necessary to wash it? to make arsenic dissolve in water and reduce arsenic content.

The kelp cannot be soaked for a long time. Because the soaking time is too long， the nutrients in the kelp， such as water-soluble vitamin and inorganic salt will be dissolved in water， and the nutritional value will be reduced.

Dont drink tea or sour fruit immediately after eating the kelp. Because the kelp is rich in iron， tea and sour fruit can block the absorption of iron.

Patients with hyperthyroidism should not eat the kelp. Because the kelp is rich in iodine， it will make the disease worse. If pregnant women and lactating mothers eat too much the kelp， the iodine in the kelp will enter the fetus and infants body with blood， causing thyroid dysfunction.

海帶食用注意事項(xiàng)：

別把海帶當(dāng)主食吃。不能長(zhǎng)期將海帶當(dāng)作主食。海帶含碘量高，攝入過(guò)多的碘會(huì)對(duì)身體健康產(chǎn)生不良影響。海帶中含有一定量的砷，攝入過(guò)多的砷會(huì)引起砷中毒。因此，食用海帶前，應(yīng)先用水沖洗，使砷溶于水，減少砷含量。

海帶不能長(zhǎng)時(shí)間浸泡。因?yàn)榻輹r(shí)間過(guò)長(zhǎng)，海帶中的營(yíng)養(yǎng)物質(zhì)，如水溶性維生素、無(wú)機(jī)鹽等會(huì)溶解于水，營(yíng)養(yǎng)價(jià)值會(huì)降低。

吃海帶后不要馬上喝茶，也不要立刻吃酸澀的水果。因?yàn)楹е泻胸S富的鐵。茶和酸澀的水果會(huì)阻礙鐵的吸收。

患有甲亢的病人不宜吃海帶。因?yàn)楹е械獾暮枯^豐富，會(huì)加重病情。如果孕婦和乳母吃太多的海帶，海帶中的碘就會(huì)隨著血液進(jìn)入胎兒和嬰兒體內(nèi)，引起甲狀腺功能障礙。

【參考答案】

2.A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段倒數(shù)第2句“Too much arsenic intake will cause arsenic poisoning.”分析可知，A項(xiàng)是正確的。

3.C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第四段倒數(shù)第3行“If the kelp stick on the pot， it will get burnt.”可知，烹飪時(shí)海帶打結(jié)主要是防止貼近鍋底層的海帶糊鍋。故選C項(xiàng)。

4.D。主旨理解題。分析第四段正數(shù)第3行“The main reason is： they dont stick to the pot when cooking.”可知，D項(xiàng)緊扣文章主題。

【長(zhǎng)難句分析】

1.Whether it is served coldly， made into soup or served with other dishes， the kelp always tastes very delicious. （第二段正數(shù)第二句）

譯文：不管是涼拌、煮湯還是搭配一些菜肴，海帶的口感都很好。

分析：這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。whether... or...是個(gè)連詞詞組，意為“不管……還是……”。它常用來(lái)引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。又如：

Whether you or he must finish your homework on time， it is a school rule. 不管是你還是他都必須按時(shí)完成作業(yè)，這是學(xué)校的規(guī)定。

Whether you are out or at home， epidemic prevention is a very important thing. 無(wú)論你外出還是在家，防疫情是很重要的一件事情。

2.Use your head， and you can manage it very easily. （第五段最后一句）

譯文：動(dòng)動(dòng)腦筋，你就會(huì)很容易搞定的。

分析：該句為“祈使句+and /then +簡(jiǎn)單句”句式。and/then表示順承關(guān)系。在英語(yǔ)中，祈使句除了表示建議、請(qǐng)求、命令、警告、責(zé)備、叮囑、號(hào)召等語(yǔ)氣外，還可以表示“含蓄”條件。這類(lèi)句子可以轉(zhuǎn)化為“if條件句，+ 主句”形式（本句可以改為：If you use your head， you can manage it easily. 如果你動(dòng)動(dòng)腦筋，你就會(huì)很容易搞定的。）。祈使句表示“條件”用法主要有以下四類(lèi)情形：

（1）祈使句+and /then +簡(jiǎn)單句。該類(lèi)用法的句子可以轉(zhuǎn)化為“if條件句，+ 簡(jiǎn)單句”。

Work hard and you will pass the examination. （= If you work hard， you will pass the examination.） 如果你努力學(xué)習(xí)，你考試會(huì)過(guò)關(guān)的。

Give him an inch and he will take an ell.（= If you give him an inch，he will take an ell.）【諺】 得寸進(jìn)尺。

（2）祈使句+or +簡(jiǎn)單句。該類(lèi)用法的句子可以轉(zhuǎn)化為“if條件句（將原句轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榉穸愂鼍洌? 簡(jiǎn)單句”。在該類(lèi)句型中，可以用otherwise，or else替代or。

Hurry up or we will be late for school. （=If we dont hurry up， we will be late for school.） 抓緊啦！否則我們會(huì)上學(xué)遲到的。

（3）名詞詞組+and+簡(jiǎn)單句。在這類(lèi)用法中，名詞詞組是if條件句的 “簡(jiǎn)化”。理解時(shí)要根據(jù)句意進(jìn)行“還原”。該類(lèi)用法的句子可以轉(zhuǎn)化為“if條件句，+ 簡(jiǎn)單句”。

One more hour， and I will do it better. （= If you give me one more hour， I will do it better.） 如果你再給我一個(gè)小時(shí)，這件事我會(huì)干得更好。

One more step， and you will fall off the platform. （= If you make one more step， you will fall off the platform.）如果你再向前走一步，你就會(huì)從平臺(tái)上掉下去的。

（4）祈使句+破折號(hào)+簡(jiǎn)單句。在該類(lèi)情形中，簡(jiǎn)單句中常含有can，may，must等表示 “推測(cè)”含義的情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或maybe，perhaps等含有 “推測(cè)”意味的副詞。該類(lèi)用法的句子可以轉(zhuǎn)化為“if條件句，+ 簡(jiǎn)單句”。

Stick to you own views — they might give in to you. （= If you stick to your own views， they might give in to you.）如果你堅(jiān)持自己的觀點(diǎn)的話(huà)，也許他們會(huì)折服于你的。
