四、阅读理解
Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them,and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms—maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”.But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the Daily Mail,just one in 50 British families has this weekly meal together.
There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular.In the busy modern world,where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen,people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook.Nowadays,people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.
However,a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules,“It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”
The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxing morning activities in the kitchen,and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.“For busy mums and dads,even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event,children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”
1.The best title for the passage is probably “ ”.
A.Sunday—Best Time for Family
B.Sunday Roast Dying Out
C.The Perfect Time for Us
D.Sit Down Together
答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the Daily Mail,just one in 50 British families has this weekly meal together.”可知,英国每周一次的传统活动“周日烤肉”已经成为过去。现在,只有五十分之一的英国家庭仍然保留这个传统。下文具体介绍了导致这种现象的原因。故选B项。
2.Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast
A.They have a busy lifestyle.
B.They have no interest in cooking.
C.They don’t think it worthwhile.
D.They are living in the modern society.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段可知,在这个忙碌的现代世界里,人们似乎没有时间和耐心烤肉了。因此忙碌的生活方式是导致“周日烤肉”正在逐渐消失的原因。故选A项。
3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.A recent article.
B.A traditional kitchen.
C.The fine old tradition.
D.The good food.
答案:C
解析:代词指代题。根据最后一段中的“The Sunday roast also makes for relaxing morning activities in the kitchen,and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.”可知,“周日烤肉”有助于人们在厨房里放松,餐桌成为亲朋好友分享美食以及聊天的好地方。因此吃大餐只是“周日烤肉”的一部分,故it指的是“周日烤肉”的老传统。
4.How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Sorry. D.Uncertain.
答案:C
解析:观点态度题。根据文章对“周日烤肉”传统的介绍,尤其是最后一段的叙述可知,该传统活动是一项有利于家人交流的好机会。所以对于这项传统的逐渐消失,作者深表遗憾。故选C项。
