课时梯级训练(八)　Section Ⅳ　Writing Ⅰ.阅读理解 Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland，California，makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures.The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven.Many of them are sweet.For example，the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie.It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame(芝麻) seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside.Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China. The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste.Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies.Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods.Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store.She said，“We get a lot of comments，for example，‘The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.’ ‘Oh，this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up.’” She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries(糕点). Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing­up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years.Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new.The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity. “Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression，” said Robert Ku，who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state.He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy：The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA. “The bakers are showing that their foods，which mix cultures，are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored，” Ku said.“They're instead really trying to fuse things together.” 1．What does Lau think of her work? A．Tiring.　　　　　　　 B．Demanding. C．Confusing. D．Rewarding. 2．What are the older traditional Asian bakeries trying to do? A.Create a new way of showing their identities. B．Celebrate the Asian culture in foreign countries. C．Remind the immigrants of their hometown flavor. D．Introduce young Asian Americans to a new culture. 3．What does the underlined word “fuse” in the last paragraph mean? A．Combine. B．Improve. C．Invent. D．Consume. 4．What is the suitable title for the text? A.Asian American Cookies Become American's Favorite Food B．Varieties of New Asian Foods Are Created by American Cooks C．Asian American Bakeries Mix Together Cultures to Create New Foods D.Traditional Asian Food Becomes Popular with American Young People 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了亚裔美国人的面包店将各种文化融合在一起，创造出了新的食品。 1．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She said, ‘We get a lot of comments ...’She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries.”可知，Lau认为用她的糕点创造美好的回忆和感受是很好的。由此推断，Lau认为她的工作是值得的。故选D。 2．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.”可知，较古老的传统亚洲面包店试图让移民们回忆起家乡的味道。故选C。 3．A　[解析]词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“‘The bakers are showing that their foods ... that's often ignored，’Ku said.”可知，面包师展示的食物融合了不同的文化。由此推知，画线部分所在的句子意为“相反，他们真的试图把东西融合在一起”，因此fuse在此意为“融合”，与combine同义。故选A。 4．C　[解析]标题概括题。根据第三段可知，近年来，许多结合了亚洲人和美国人成长感受的面包店开张。传统的亚洲食材正与欧洲或美国的糕点混合成新的东西。这些作品是年轻的亚裔美国人庆祝自己身份的一种方式。再结合全文可知，文章讲述了亚裔美国人的面包店将各种文化融合在一起，创造出新的食品。故选C。 Ⅱ.语法填空 (2023·桂林高二检测)Almost everything inspired the ancestors of Chinese to create diverse decorative patterns on objects ranging from daily life needs to pure artworks.They carried good and lucky 1.__________(mean) and were possessed of high value，driving numerous people to protect them.

On the one hand，there are advantages for middle school students to study abroad.To begin with，it's a golden opportunity for them to learn a foreign language，which offers them excellent language environment.In addition，it helps them know about different cultures between nations. On the other hand，there are also some disadvantages.Firstly，many middle school students are too young to take care of themselves and they have little experience about social life.Secondly，young students may feel lonely and miss their parents.Thirdly，studying abroad means their families would cost an arm and a leg. As far as I'm concerned，I'd like to study abroad to improve myself academically and socially if I am offered such an opportunity. Ⅳ.读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 There are many things in senior middle school that I still remember clearly.I studied three years in a country school，which is faraway.However，it has a good environment and strict but kind teachers，so I loved the school and all my teachers very much.One Friday，just as we began to read books in reading class at our desks，our teacher，Mrs Hill，said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes.She asked the class to read in silence while she was gone.And she said that those who didn't read books in silence would have to answer to her when she returned.It was well­known that Mrs Hill was strict.So we had to be on our best behaviour. But that Friday，Mrs Hill hadn't been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk.From one corner of the classroom I heard Josh ask Nick，“Can I trade my candies for your toy？” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla，“Let's sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me，until about half of the students talked with each other. After a while，I，too，forgot about Mrs Hill's instructions.I turned back and asked my friend Liza，“Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day？” As soon as the words were out of my mouth，Mrs Hill walked into the classroom.The whole class returned to silence immediately.And we were full of fear. Mrs Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said，“If you were talking while I was gone，then please stand up.” The guilt suddenly weighed heavily on me.“I shouldn't have talked while she was not in the classroom.And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely.This is what my parents have always told me，”I thought.Then，I summoned up(鼓起) my courage to stand up，worrying about the punishment that waited for me.Then I looked around. 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： To my surprise，no one followed me._______________________ _________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With Mrs Hill's encouragement，another student stood up.__________________ ___________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Paragraph 1： To my surprise，no one followed me.I lowered my head alone and was filled with fear.After looking around for a while，Mrs Hill walked towards me.Strangely，she asked in a soft voice，“Why did you dare to stand up？” I said I wanted to be honest and that I realized what I had done was wrong.Unexpectedly，Mrs Hill was quite amazed by my answer and praised me for that.Then she returned to the front of the classroom and explained why we should be honest. Paragraph 2： With Mrs Hill's encouragement，another student stood up.Then more students followed until about half of the students stood up.Seeing it，Mrs Hill praised us for our courage.Then，she asked us to sit down.We continued reading books.After we finished，Mrs Hill reminded us to remember that everyone should be responsible for their behaviour.We all agreed with her.And I was happy that in a way I set a good example to my classmates. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
