【解析】

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價值和對健康的影響，他們去超市買東西要仔細看一下標簽，他們愿意買不含化學物質的食品，有的人還愿意品嘗外國的大餐。

1.因為空格前面有冠詞，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價值的食品的意識；根據an increasing interest 也可判斷與increasing同一的詞，所以用growing，故選E。

2.根據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關心；美國人越來越關心健康，故選C。

4.根據the package over to read the labels carefully.這里是turn over翻過來，他們要翻過來仔細地看一下標簽，故選A。

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

6.另外一組美國人被稱為素食者，已經決定不吃肉，這里Americans與call之間是被動關系，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，但是這種現象在過去的十年里已經發生了很大改變，故選F。
