江苏南京外国语学校2023年九年级阅读能力训练九

九年级阅读能力训练九 一、完形填空 When I arrived in China, the first Chinese word I learned was about food. I learned the names of   1   dishes, but still didn’t know most of the things I saw on Chinese restaurant menus. Luckily, there were   2   to help me. Nearly every restaurant menu in China has pictures of food   3   it. But many restaurants I’ve been to in the US don’t. What is the   4   for the difference? One thing I’ve definitely (明确地)   5   about China is that food is a bigger part of their culture than it is in the US. A common way to   6   someone in China is to ask them if they’ve eaten yet.  Food is just a   7   deal here – and having pictures of food in menus is part of that. Some menus are almost like works of   8  , with well-framed (构图精美的) photos. Another factor is the   9   of the dishes. Chinese dishes sometimes have fanciful (别出心裁的) names like “palace guard chicken” or “three fresh things from the soil”. These are interesting names, but they don’t really tell you   10   the dishes are like. Therefore, it’s helpful to have pictures so you can actually see what you’re going to be   11  . There’s probably even more to it than that. All I know is that I was very   12   to have those picture menus when I first came here. 1. A. a little       B. much    C. a few    D. few 2.
