课时梯级训练(八)　Section Ⅳ　Writing Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2024·潍坊高一检测)Growing up in Georgia，Thanksgiving for me meant driving a couple hours south to my mom's house in Augusta on Wednesday night and staying up late playing.First thing the next morning，at around 4 or 5 a．m.，my mom would put the bird in the oven and roast it low and slow for eight hours，applying oil to it every 30 minutes and watching it like hawks.For this practice，for years I thought turkey was the absolute hardest thing to cook in the world. I also thought that turkey was，on principle，meant to be dry.The thing is，roasting a great，juicy turkey isn't as complicated(复杂的) as people make it out to be.For me，I've found that the best method is to just roast it like a chicken.No black magic. Defrost your turkey (if it's frozen).Ideally you'd let this happen gradually in a 40°F refrigerator.Bring your turkey to room temperature.A fridge­cold bird will not cook as evenly as a room­temperature bird.Truss(捆绑) your turkey，which will ensure even cooking.Season your turkey in the sink.This is very important.Most people season their turkeys straight in its roasting pan，leading to extra salt at the bottom.Another issue is that if you're applying melted(融化的) butter and some of that drips off into the pan，the milk fats can burn，and the one thing we don't want on Thanksgiving Day is for the smoke alarm to go off.Roast your turkey.Many recipes(食谱) call for a high start and a low finish.But I like to roast my turkey from start to finish at a moderate 350°F.Rest your turkey.Do not carve the bird until it's rested for at least 30 minutes.Don't worry，it'll still be hot—better yet，the juices will have spread all over and you'll be looking at the tenderest，juiciest turkey of your life. 1．How does the author introduce the topic?

But with all the strict rules and hard work，the students there were also forming lifelong friendships.It was a practice that those unable to go home for the holidays would find a welcoming place at the table in the home of any of their friends.We'd hosted Evan's roommates last year and looked forward to meeting new guests this Thanksgiving. “Oh，one thing，Mom，” Evan continued.“These guys are exchange students.They would be Tim from Thailand，Kanok and Patrick from Mexico and Costel from Canada.They couldn't eat their traditional dishes at school.So you'd better cook some special dishes for them.I know you are good at cuisine(烹饪).” Indeed，I did delicious dishes and I was very excited about the international dishes we'd have at our dinner table.What dishes would I cook for these special visitors? They'd probably love a traditional turkey.But ... what are their traditional dishes? I love to cook，so this was an excuse to take out my wide variety of cook books，to do a little research on the favorite foods of these three faraway lands. I decided to roast a turkey，and found several traditional dishes of Mexico and Canada.The only traditional dish of Thailand I thought I could have a try was something called foufou.I told Evan about it，who checked in with his friend Tim.“Tim is crazy about foufou，Mom! You have to make it! Tim also said he could help you if you needed.” So Turkey Day morning found me busy in the kitchen.The last dish I cooked was foufou.I followed the steps to prepare foufou and finally placed it on the stove(火炉) to cook for ten minutes. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： At this time，I heard Evan's excited voice，so I went out of the kitchen._______________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Just as I talked with Tim，I smelt something burning in the kitchen！____________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Paragraph 1： At this time，I heard Evan's excited voice，so I went out of the kitchen.It was our new guest who had arrived.I was very happy to welcome them in.They were also very polite to greet me and wish me a happy holiday.They all thanked me very much for cooking their traditional food and for understanding their customs.Tim，in particular，was obsessed with foufou.When I made it，he said he hadn't had it for a long time and that he could help me.
