高三英语培优外刊阅读 班级：____________学号：____________姓名：____________ 外刊精选｜新西兰的国民水果，原来不是奇异果？ 说到新西兰的代表性水果，很多人立马会想到奇异果，但是你知道吗？其实很多新西兰本地人对另一种小众水果更加钟爱——它就是斐济果（feijoa）。这种水果原产于中南美洲，自上世纪20年代以来，开始在新西兰广泛种植，逐渐成为“国民水果”。斐济果是一种怎样的水果？新西兰人有多喜爱它？ New Zealanders Are Crazy for This Fruit. It’s Not the Kiwi. Autumn in New Zealand heralds the arrival of a green, egg-size fruit that falls off trees in such abundance that it is often given to neighbors and colleagues by the bucket or even the wheelbarrow load. Only in cases of extreme desperation do people buy any. The fresh fruit, whose flesh is gritty, jellylike and cream-colored, is used in muffins, cakes, jams and smoothies, and it begins appearing on high-end menus each March — the start of fall in the Southern Hemisphere. This ubiquitous fruit is the feijoa (pronounced fee-jo-ah). Its tangy taste is hard to describe, even for die-hard fans. But what is easy to pinpoint is that like the kiwi fruit, which originated in China, and the kiwi, a native bird, the feijoa has become for many here a quintessential symbol of New Zealand, or Aotearoa, as the country is known in the Indigenous Maori language. "Even though it isn’t from Aotearoa, it’s definitely something that I associate with the Aotearoa modern pataka, the modern food pantry," said Monique Fiso, a chef with Maori and Samoan ancestry. She is a pioneer of modern Polynesian cuisine and often serves feijoas to her customers. Not every New Zealander loves feijoas, she cautioned. Sometimes customers will specify "just no feijoa" when they make reservations. It is a sentiment she cannot understand. "I find that a bit crazy," she said. "I'm like, what's your issue? They're the greatest fruits ever!" 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.gritty (adj.) ________________________________________ 2.high-end (adj.) ________________________________________ 3.ubiquitous (adj.) ________________________________________ 4.tangy (adj.) ________________________________________ 5.pinpoint (v.) ________________________________________ 6.menu (n.) ________________________________________ 7.Hemisphere (n.) ________________________________________ 8.quintessential (adj.) ________________________________________ 9.Indigenous (adj.) ________________________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.________________________________________ 大量地 2.________________________________________大量地 3.________________________________________铁杆粉丝 4.________________________________________典型的象征 5.________________________________________ ...的先驱 拓展练习阅读理解 Going into my Ph. D．program, I knew I loved to communicate science to the public as much as I liked doing science. But research soon consumed most of my time. Gradually, I felt I was losing touch with the bigger picture of why science matters. To escape, I spent a weekend with some friends. They were excited to share stories about the latest books they’d consumed. But I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for fun. And I found myself mostly talking about my research. As I struggled to convey its broader relevance, I noticed the enthusiasm in my voice disappeared. “Is my Ph. D．killing my love of science?” I thought. I knew I had been living in a scientific bubble（泡泡）, but that bubble seemed to grow smaller and smaller as the weekend progressed. When I returned home. I resolved to read more for pleasure. I was recommended a science fiction book, so I started with that. It was like nothing I had ever read before. I was really into it. I was blown away by the scientifically reasonable technologies and scenes. It was refreshing to think about science in a new way. I kept reading science fiction in the years after I finished my Ph. D．But I still hadn’t gotten back to communicating science to the public. Then, one night I found myself in a conversation with my new colleagues about science fiction concepts. One invited me to speak at the pop culture lecture. When the day came. I felt nervous until I saw the eager attendees. After I finished, I was surrounded with enthusiastic audience. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication. Since then, I’ve given more than 20 talks, exploring concepts like genetic engineering and brain-machine interfaces. For young researchers. it’s easy to slide into a scientific bubble. I’m glad science fiction gave me a way to break out. It not only provided something fun to do in my spare time. It also helped me professionally, fueling my ability to communicate the wonders of science to the public. 9．What did the author realize at that weekend? A．He couldn’t fit in a new environment. B．His memory was declining with time. C．He lost passion for science communication. D．His knowledge was only a scientific bubble. 10．Why did the author like science fiction? A．He wanted to find inspirations from it. B．He wanted to put his knowledge to use. C．It could explain many physical phenomena. D．It offered him a new angle to look at science. 11．Which word can be used to describe the lecture? A．Successful. B．Unique. C．Classic. D．Common. 12．What is the aim of this passage? A．To introduce science fiction. B．To prove how important science is. C．To emphasize the author’s love for science. D．To show how science fiction helped the author. 外刊精选答案 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.gritty (adj.) 坚忍不拔的，有决心的 2.high-end (adj.) 高端的 3.ubiquitous (adj.) 无处不在的 4.tangy (adj.) 味道强烈的，辛辣的 5.pinpoint (v.) 精确指出 6.menu (n.) 菜单 7.Hemisphere (n.) 半球 8.quintessential (adj.) 典型的，精髓的 9.Indigenous (adj.) 土著的，原产的 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.in abundance 大量地 2.by the bucket load 大量地 3.die-hard fans 铁杆粉丝 4.a quintessential symbol of 典型的象征 5.a pioneer of ...的先驱 【全文翻译】 新西兰人超爱这种水果，它可不是奇异果。 在新西兰，一入秋就预示着一种鸡蛋大小的绿色水果进入旺季。大量的果子从树上掉落下来，人们通常一桶一桶，甚至一推车一推车地送给邻居和同事。只有在情非得已时，才会花钱买。 这种鲜果的果肉吃起来有颗粒感，像果冻似的，奶油色，可用于制作松饼、蛋糕、果酱或冰沙。每年3月，当南半球进入秋天时，这种水果就会出现在高档餐厅的菜单上。 这种无处不在的水果就是斐济果（读作 fee-jo-ah）。 即使是斐济果的“死忠粉”，也很难描述它那浓郁的味道。但有一点是容易确定的：和源自中国的奇异果、新西兰本土的几维鸟一样，对于许多当地人而言，斐济果已经成为新西兰这个国家（用土著毛利语又称为：奥特亚罗瓦）的典型代表符号。 “尽管斐济果并非产自新西兰，但我坚持认为它与新西兰的现代饮食文化是密不可分的。”有着毛利人和萨摩亚人血统的厨师莫尼克·菲索（Monique Fiso）说。她是现代波利尼西亚美食的先驱性人物，会经常为顾客提供斐济果制作的食物。 不过，莫尼克也提醒说，并不是所有新西兰人都喜欢斐济果。有时候，顾客会在预订餐位时明确表示“不要添加斐济果”。莫尼克无法理解这种想法，她说：“我心想，你为何要这样？这可是最好的水果啊！” 拓展练习阅读理解 9．C 10．D 11．A 12．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者因从事科研一直忙于实验室工作，无法向大众普及科学知识，后来他成功地通过结合科幻小说来向大众普及科学知识，重拾了对科学的热情。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段中“As I struggled to convey its broader relevance, I noticed the enthusiasm in my voice disappeared. ‘Is my Ph. D. killing my love of science?’ I thought.(当我努力传达它更广泛的相关性时，我注意到我声音里的热情消失了。“这是我的博士学位扼杀了我对科学的热爱吗？”我想。)”可知，当作者向朋友们讲述科学话题时，他进行科普的热情没有了。故选C项。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段末句“It was refreshing to think about science in a new way.(以一种新的方式思考科学真是令人耳目一新。)”可知，作者认为科幻能够让他以一种新的方式思考科学，这是令人耳目一新的。也就是他能够从另一个角度来看科学。故选D项。 11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After I finished, I was surrounded with enthusiastic audience. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication. (讲完后，我周围都是热情的观众。我突然想到，这是我回到科学交流的道路。)”可知，在作者演讲完成后，热情的观众围住他，并且他从此萌生了利用这种方式普及科学知识的想法，由此推断这次讲座是成功了，所以他才受到激励。故选A项。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It not only provided something fun to do in my spare time. It also helped me professionally, fueling my ability to communicate the wonders of science to the public.(这不仅为我在业余时间提供了一些有趣的事情。它也在专业上帮助了我，增强了我向公众传达科学奇迹的能力。)”可知在接触科幻小说后，他的向大众普及科学知识的愿望实现了，由此推断作者的写作目的是讲述科幻小说对他的影响和帮助。故选D项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
