[湖南衡阳八中2019高一期中] No one is sure where and when the expression “apple-pie order” began. It’s said that the housewives of New England liked to cut their apples in pieces. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organised way, row upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it is generally believed that “apple of discord” began in New English.
Another old expression, “apple of discord” , comes from ancient myth(神话), however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses--Eris was a troublemaker. She threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite?Paris was given the task of deciding, He decided to give the golden apple to Aphrodite. Hera and Athena were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the long Trojan War.
At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was “pomo di Moro” -- apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought “di Moro” meant “d’amour”-- the French word for love. And so “pomo di Moro” became the apple of love.
People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Another belief is based on fact. The expression is “One rotten apple spoils the barrel” When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around the box. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act badly.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了龙井茶和与之相关的一个历史传说。
1. which 句意为:龙井茶以其色泽、口味和品相位居中国十大名茶之首,它以其产地—西湖龙井村命名。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语,先行词是 Longjing tea,指物,故用 which引导该从句。
2. is named 句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知,设空处为句子的谓语,句子主语 Longjing tea是第三人称单数形式,和name之间是被动关系,陈述客观事实,故此处应用一般现在时的被动语态,故填 is named。
3. growth 句意为:良好的环境与优质的水源适宜茶叶的生长,证实了“龙井茶是世界上最好的茶”这一说法。设空处作介词for的宾语,其前有定冠词the,应用名词形式,故填growth。
4. best 句意见上一题解析。设空处前有the,设空处后有比较范围 among all of the teas in the world,故此处表示最高级,应填best。
5. to 句意为:多亏了清朝乾隆皇帝,龙井茶才享此盛誉。thanks to为固定搭配,意为“多亏了……”,故填to。
6. the 句意为:…他看到一些妇女在山脚下采摘茶叶。at the foot of为固定短语,意为“在…底部/下端”,故填the
7. picking 句意为:当他采摘茶叶的时候,收到了母亲身体抱恙的消息,于是无意间把茶叶放到了口袋里,从杭州动身回京。本句为 while引导的时间状语从句的省略,省略了主语he和助动词was,补充完整应为 While he was picking the tea…,故填 picking。
【知识拓展】状语从句的省略
在时间、条件、让步、方式等状语从句中,可以用省略结构。省略必须具备两个条件:(1)主句的主语与从句的主语一致或从句的主语是it ;(2)从句的谓语含有be动词。此时可以省略从句的主语和be动词。
8. left 句意见上一题解析。设空处是分句的并列谓语,与put之间为并列关系,所以应用一般过去时,故填left。
9. immediately 句意为:他一回京便去看望母亲……设空处修饰动词 visited,应用副词。故填 immediately。
【易错警示】
注意,以-e结尾的形容词变副词时直接加-ly即可。常见词中只有tne比较特殊,它的副词形式为 truly。
10. energetic 句意为:喝了一杯茶后,她觉得自己精力十分充沛,她甚至称赞这是治愈一切疾病的良药。此处为“find+宾语+宾补”结构,设空处前有副词 completely修饰,应用形容词作宾补,故填 energetic。
