四、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
People
tend to connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns.
Immigrants often use food as a means of maintaining their cultural identity. People
from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. The ingredients, methods
of preparation, preservation techniques (技巧), and types
of food eaten at different mealtimes vary among cultures. The areas in which families
live and where their ancestors originated influence food likes and dislikes. These
food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional
group.
Nations
or countries are frequently associated with certain foods. For example, many people
associate Italy with pizza and pasta (意大利面食). Yet
Italians eat many other foods, and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy.
Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region. Some families
in the United States prefer to eat "meat and potatoes," but "meat
and potatoes" are not eaten on a regular basis, nor even preferred, by many
in the United States and would not be labeled a national cuisine.
Regional
food habits do exist, but they also change over time. As people immigrate, food
practices and preferences are imported and exported. Families move to other locations,
bringing their food preferences with them. They may use their old recipes with new
ingredients, or experiment with new recipes. In addition, food itself is imported
from other countries. Approximately (大约) 80 percent
of Samoa's food requirements are imported from the United States, New Zealand, or
Australia. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country
or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
Even the
role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place. Many families believe
that mealtime is a good time to catch up on the lives of family and friends.
Among other families, conversation during a meal is acceptable, but the topics of
conversation are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite
to limit conversation during a meal.
Food traditions
vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated
with hospitality (好客) and expression of friendship.
Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening
cross-cultural relationships.
36．What can be learned about Italians' eating habits
A．They differ from region to region.
B．They center on meat and potatoes.
C．They mainly consist of pizza and pasta.
D．They are similar to American eating habits.
37．What is the author trying to reveal with the example of Samoa
A．People are forming new food preferences.
B．People can't be simply defined by their food.
C．People don't have the same food requirements.
D．People are developing a liking for international food.
38．What does the underlined part "catch up on" in paragraph 4 mean
A．Learn about. B．Make up for.
C．Continue with. D．Make a difference to.
39．What advice is given in the last paragraph
A．Expression of friendship should be appropriate.
B．Awareness of food cultures should be developed.
C．Cross-cultural relationships should be built continually.
D．Food traditions should be passed on from generation to generation.
【答案】36．A
37．B
38．A
39．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了不同种族、不同背景的人有不同的饮食文化。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
36．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Yet Italians eat many other foods, and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy. Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region.”然而，意大利人吃许多其他食物，意大利面食的种类在整个意大利各不相同。一个国家的食物制备方法和种类因地区而异。可知，不同地区的意大利人饮食习惯各不相同。故选A。
37．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.”因为人和食物是流动的，所以试图用一个国家或一个人的饮食来描述他们的特征往往是不准确的。可知，作者举萨摩亚食物进口的例子是为了说明人们不能单纯以饮食定义一个国家或种族。故选B。
38．考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的conversation可知，这段是说吃饭的时候与家人朋友交流以“了解”他们的近况。可推知catch up on是“了解”之意，故选A。
39．考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Food traditions vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with hospitality (好客) and expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening cross-cultural relationships.”世界各地的饮食传统差异很大。然而，在世界大多数地区，食物与热情好客和表达友谊联系在一起。因此，对食品规则和习俗的敏感性对于建立和加强跨文化关系至关重要。可知，作者认为饮食是建立友谊的一座桥梁，所以我们要有一定的饮食文化意识，了解不同的饮食文化。故选B。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
There is more of a connection between food and culture than
you may think. On an
individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and
good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal
value for us. Food from
our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of
frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of
culture. It also
operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it
wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of
coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve
traditional dishes. However, the
food does not remain exactly the same. Some
materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so
the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their
home countries. Additionally,
immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but
to people from different countries. Therefore,
they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider
range of customers. Those
changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the
dishes.
We should embrace our heritage(遗产) through our culture's food but also become more informed about other
cultures by trying their food. It is
important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to
which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as
such.
40．What's the function of food mentioned in the article
A．To help motivate homesickness. B．To show national identity.
C．To reflect a country's history. D．To show a community's superiority.
41．What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The specific traditional food. B．The national culture.
C．A traditional expression of food. D．The old-fashioned taste.
42．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C．To make the dishes popular among customers.
D．To present their own food culture in a new way.
43．What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures
A．Negative. B．Balanced. C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.
【答案】40．B
41．A
42．C
43．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。作者从食物与文化的关系的角度表达了自己的看法。作者认为传统食物是文化的重要组成部分，它也是一种文化身份的表达，食物是了解文化的窗口。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，代词指代和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
40．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.”它也是一种文化身份的表达。移民无论走到哪里都会带着它，这是他们文化自豪的象征，也是解决乡愁的手段。可知，文中提到食物是一种文化身份的表达，故选B。
41．考查代词指代。根据第二段中的"On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. "在很大程度上，传统食物是文化的重要组成部分。它也是一种文化身份的表达。可知，此句中it代指"传统食物"。传统食物是文化的重要组成部分，是文化认同的一种表达方式。移民们把它带到任何地方，它是他们的文化自豪感的象征，也是应对思乡之情的手段。故选A。
42．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. "此外，移民不仅向来自同一国家的人出售菜肴，还向来自不同国家的人销售菜肴。因此，他们不得不对原有的菜肴做一些小改动，以迎合更广泛的顾客。可知，一些移民不得不改变他们餐馆原有的菜肴是为了迎合不同的顾客。故选C。
43．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的" We should embrace our heritage(遗产) through our culture's food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. "，我们应该通过我们的文化食物来接受我们的文化遗产，但也应该通过品尝其他文化的食物来了解其他文化，故选B。

There are too many fat people in America, so many Americans are fighting against overweight. But the 21． thing is that the French,who consume rich food, tend to stay thin. Now a 22． by Cornell University points out 23． lifestyle and decisions about 24． may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel 25． . However, Americans tend to stop when their 26． are empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating 27． an important part of their lifestyle. They enjoy food and therefore spend a very 28． time at the table,while Americans see eating as anything to be squeezed in between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans 29． the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and 30． foods for the week. The French, 31． , tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruit, vegetables rich in fiber, and eggs as well as high-quality meat for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don't Get Fat, decided to 32． about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid 33． . Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent lifestyle 34． may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity(肥胖)—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%.

四、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
People
tend to connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns.
Immigrants often use food as a means of maintaining their cultural identity. People
from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. The ingredients, methods
of preparation, preservation techniques (技巧), and types
of food eaten at different mealtimes vary among cultures. The areas in which families
live and where their ancestors originated influence food likes and dislikes. These
food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional
group.
Nations
or countries are frequently associated with certain foods. For example, many people
associate Italy with pizza and pasta (意大利面食). Yet
Italians eat many other foods, and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy.
Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region. Some families
in the United States prefer to eat "meat and potatoes," but "meat
and potatoes" are not eaten on a regular basis, nor even preferred, by many
in the United States and would not be labeled a national cuisine.
Regional
food habits do exist, but they also change over time. As people immigrate, food
practices and preferences are imported and exported. Families move to other locations,
bringing their food preferences with them. They may use their old recipes with new
ingredients, or experiment with new recipes. In addition, food itself is imported
from other countries. Approximately (大约) 80 percent
of Samoa's food requirements are imported from the United States, New Zealand, or
Australia. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country
or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
Even the
role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place. Many families believe
that mealtime is a good time to catch up on the lives of family and friends.
Among other families, conversation during a meal is acceptable, but the topics of
conversation are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite
to limit conversation during a meal.
Food traditions
vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated
with hospitality (好客) and expression of friendship.
Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening
cross-cultural relationships.
36．What can be learned about Italians' eating habits
A．They differ from region to region.
B．They center on meat and potatoes.
C．They mainly consist of pizza and pasta.
D．They are similar to American eating habits.
37．What is the author trying to reveal with the example of Samoa
A．People are forming new food preferences.
B．People can't be simply defined by their food.
C．People don't have the same food requirements.
D．People are developing a liking for international food.
38．What does the underlined part "catch up on" in paragraph 4 mean
A．Learn about. B．Make up for.
C．Continue with. D．Make a difference to.
39．What advice is given in the last paragraph
A．Expression of friendship should be appropriate.
B．Awareness of food cultures should be developed.
C．Cross-cultural relationships should be built continually.
D．Food traditions should be passed on from generation to generation.
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
There is more of a connection between food and culture than
you may think. On an
individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and
good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal
value for us. Food from
our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of
frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of
culture. It also
operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it
wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of
coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve
traditional dishes. However, the
food does not remain exactly the same. Some
materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so
the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their
home countries. Additionally,
immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but
to people from different countries. Therefore,
they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider
range of customers. Those
changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the
dishes.
We should embrace our heritage(遗产) through our culture's food but also become more informed about other
cultures by trying their food. It is
important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to
which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as
such.
40．What's the function of food mentioned in the article
A．To help motivate homesickness. B．To show national identity.
C．To reflect a country's history. D．To show a community's superiority.
41．What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The specific traditional food. B．The national culture.
C．A traditional expression of food. D．The old-fashioned taste.
42．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C．To make the dishes popular among customers.
D．To present their own food culture in a new way.
43．What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures
A．Negative. B．Balanced. C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.
