Ice cream without a proper container in the fridge would lead to ice blocks because of its water content. Most ice cream contains some elements called emulsifiers (乳化剂) that can keep water to fat to prevent ice blocks. They go a step further by helping to keep ice cream consistent, even under the hot sun. On an element list, you might find different chemicals with the same goal: to hold water in so the ice cream doesn’t melt quickly. Ice cream sandwiches generally contain more of those chemicals including emulsifiers than hand-made ones.

If you’re worried about some additives (添加剂) in ice cream sandwiches f which might belong in a lab rather than your kitchen, then you’d better be at ease. Even completely natural elements, which come from beans, might make you stop eating if you’ve heard about their misuse in weight-loss efforts.

Of course, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) takes any of the side effects of those chemicals into account, and the amount you’d find in an ice cream sandwich isn’t enough to cause health problems. While you meet someone willing to share his ice cream sandwiches with your kid, there’s no reason to fear your kid’s health safety. A slow melt rate method causes you less worry.

【解析】

本文是说明文。文章主要阐述了冰激凌三明治不容易融化的原因。

【1】细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句Ice cream without a proper container in the fridge would lead to ice blocks because of its water content.可知冰淇淋在冰箱里没有合适的容器会导致冰块，因为它含有水分。由此可知，冰箱里没有合适的容器的冰淇淋会变成冰块，是因为它含有一些水。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段第三句They go a step further by helping to keep ice cream consistent, even under the hot sun. 可知它们（乳化剂）更进一步保持冰激凌的恒定性，甚至在炙热的阳光下。可知，冰淇淋三明治中乳化剂的作用是为了让冰淇淋保持恒定。故选A。

【3】推理判断题。根据第三段第一句If you’re worried about some additives (添加剂) in ice cream sandwiches f which might belong in a lab rather than your kitchen, then you’d better be at ease.可知，如果你担心冰淇淋三明治中的一些添加剂可能属于实验室，而不是你的厨房，那么你最好放心。由此可推知，作者在第3段中想表达冰淇淋三明治中的添加剂是无害的。故选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句While you meet someone willing to share his ice cream sandwiches with your kid, there’s no reason to fear your kid’s health safety. A slow melt rate method causes you less worry.可知当你遇到有人愿意和你的孩子分享他的冰激凌三明治时，不用担心你孩子的健康。缓慢的融化速率法使你不用那么担心。由此可推知，作者对孩子吃冰激凌三明治这件事持赞同的态度。故选A。

态度、观点及感受类推理判断题。高考阅读理解题中有些题目考查考生对文章作者的思想、人物性格倾向等方面的理解。对于判断情感态度类题目，考生需要分析段落大意、作者的思路，理解了文章的段落大意、中心思想后，才能判断出作者的情感态度。学会辨别清楚文章的体裁。

高考阅读理解题涉及各类文章。以议论文为主，文章的主题句往往会直接地表明作者的态度立场；说明文，因为其体裁的客观性，所以作者往往采取中立态度；记叙文，作者往往不直接提出文章观点，而且作者写作时也常常带有某种倾向性，所以我们在读这种体裁的文章时，要细心捕捉表达或暗示情感态度的单词或短语。学会区分不同的观点，尤其要善于找出作者的观点。我们要注意文中出现的直接引语和间接引语。出现的观点一般是当事人的观点，而不是作者的观点。作者的观点一般用in my view/opinion, personally, I think, I hold the view that等词句引出。如第四小题，根据最后一段最后两句While you meet someone willing to share his ice cream sandwiches with your kid, there’s no reason to fear your kid’s health safety. A slow melt rate method causes you less worry.可知当你遇到有人愿意和你的孩子分享他的冰激凌三明治时，不用担心你孩子的健康。缓慢的融化速率法使你不用那么担心。由此可推知，作者对孩子吃冰激凌三明治这件事持赞同的态度。故选A。
