W: Fruit pies have been enjoyed as a breakfast food for a long time. They were made with berries, apples and other fruits. The history of pie can be traced right back to ancient Egyptian times. ⑧The early Greeks are believed to have given the idea to the early Romans.
Early pies were meat pies and these were being made and served in England as far back as the 1100s. The first fruit pie recipes date back to the 1500s. ⑨And the first cherry pie was given as a gift to Queen ElizabethⅠ.
The first English immigrants brought pie to the United States. The early settlers cooked their pies in narrow pans. Pie today is one of the most traditional American dessert recipes.
There are all kinds of pie recipes. But a survey discovered that two thirds of Americans like apple pies better than any other kinds, followed by sweet potato, pumpkin, lemon and cherry.
⑩Three out of four Americans prefer homemade pies. And only one in a hundred Americans buys pies from a diner. Two in three Americans prefer their pies plain, instead of served with cream or ice cream.

二、掌握写作要点
事物说明文要求语言准确,按照被说明事物的实际情况,运用生动形象的词句,恰如其分地进行介绍。写好一篇说明文,总体需要做到以下几点:

2.第二篇文章第四句“There are three layers of the cake and the cheese is between the layers, making the dessert feel soft and smooth.”先用there be句型呈现了提拉米苏的外形,然后用make复合结构描写了它的口感,让读者对该食物的印象立体、丰满起来。
3.第二篇文章最后一句“Whenever I feel unhappy, I eat this dessert and it does make me feel better!”使用了Whenever引导的让步状语从句,主句中又运用了does强调了谓语动词,语气强烈地表达了:无论何时自己不开心,提拉米苏都会让自己心情好起来!
二、学意蕴修辞
1.第一篇文章中的“while the full moon shone above us”写出了满月当空、银辉洒落的优美意境,特别是full和shine两个词的运用,形象地勾画出这幅赏月图的神韵。

二、片段续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为80左右。
The easy way out isn't always the easiest.I learned that lesson when I decided to treat my father to a special meal.I glanced through the cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread.Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as he left for work.
As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything.As Dad loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl.Soon there was sticky dough (生面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks.Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Dad's blame.
I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and when Dad got home we sat down to eat the meal.He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed.Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise.The third time he left, I went to the window to see what he was doing.
Looking out, I saw Dad standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container.When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in the rubbish bin.Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see.I felt scared.But I stepped closer and looked harder.
Without doubt it was my work.The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing.I had to admit what the “living thing” was and why it was there.I didn't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing, Dad or me.
My dad tapped me gently on the shoulder, and we went inside.
参考范文:
My dad tapped me gently on the shoulder, and we went inside.Sitting back to our meal, Dad, smilingly, updated me on recent events in his work without a mere mention of the crazy dough wildly dancing outside, which served wonderfully as a gentle embarrassment reliever.However, while doing the dishes after dinner, Dad said to me with firmness in his voice, “You don't have to be an expert on making bread, but you do have to do your research before taking action.There is no such thing as an easy way out.” And that was the starting point of my journey of making the perfect bread.

Whether you consider yourself a foodie or not, food is part of your daily routine.Also, food has a way of bringing people together.It is the focus of celebrations.George Bernard Shaw said it well:“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”
Many of us have traveled and tasted the world's cuisine while watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations or Parts Unknown or the energetic Peter Maneas in his show My Greek Odyssey.Following in their footsteps, the next best thing is to go on a culture & culinary (烹饪的) vacation.Not only will you get to try mouth-watering dishes, but you'll also get to know more about the local culture and how it influenced the cuisine.
Local cuisine gives people an identity.Years ago, I was visiting Vienna with a group of friends.And one of them insisted on checking out the only restaurant in town serving Romanian food, just “like at home”.People who identify with traditional dishes from their home countries often come to this kind of restaurant as it feels like their “home away from home”.
Food reflects people's opinions on life.Greeks have strong ties among the community.Mezedes, a collection of small dishes served as appetizers (开胃菜), are shared among the diners.The stories told over tzatziki, spanakopita, and dolmades create lifetime memories.Italians have great respect for their food and often talk about it.They also don't mind spending a lot of time in the kitchen.Family meals are often joyful events with piles of dishes being served during an entire afternoon.
Food helps you discover other languages.People across the world love to gather around the table.Preparing the foods and eating also spark great conversations.It's the best opportunity to learn how to correctly pronounce foreign-language menu items.Knowing the local language will not only help you immerse (沉浸) in the culture but also build a hefty vocabulary!
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了食物不仅美味,还是文化的载体。
4.Why does the author mention George Bernard Shaw in Paragraph 1?
A.To show people's great love of food.
B.To give an introduction to his works.
C.To stress his achievements in drama.
D.To explain the social influence on food.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”可知,作者提到乔治·萧伯纳是为了说明人们对食物的热爱。
5.What does the example in Paragraph 3 imply?
A.Eating habits vary around the world.
B.People take pride in their local food.
C.People prefer foreign food to traditional food.
D.The same food you eat in a different place tastes different.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的主题句“Local cuisine gives people an identity.”可知,当地的食物给予人们身份认同感,人们为家乡美食感到自豪,无论去了哪里都想吃到家乡的菜肴。
6.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Food brings neighbors together.
B.Greeks have strict table manners.
C.Food shows people's way of life.
D.Cultural differences affect family meals.
√
解析:段落大意题。第四段首句是该段的主题句,再结合下文中的“Greeks have strong ties among the community ...Italians have great respect for their food ...don't mind spending a lot of time in the kitchen.”可知,本段主要讲述了食物反映人们的生活方式以及价值观。
7.What does the underlined word “hefty” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Scientific. B.Passive.
C.Limited. D.Large.
√
解析:词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“It's the best opportunity to learn how to correctly pronounce foreign-language menu items.”可知,通过品尝食物,人们可以学习到有关菜谱的外语词汇,扩大自己的词汇量。故画线词意为“巨大的”,与D项词义相近。

参考范文:
Dear friends,
I'm Li Hua.I feel greatly honored to be here to introduce a traditional Chinese food — yuanxiao, which is made of sticky rice powder with sweet fillings.
Yuanxiao, or tangyuan, is the main food for the Lantern Festival.The sweet fillings stand for people's wish for happiness and the round shape is a symbol of reunion.Making yuanxiao is really a good way to create a harmonious family atmosphere.Ways of cooking yuanxiao vary from place to place.Generally, they are steamed, boiled or fried.Some are served dry with sugar, while others with soup.

Thanks for listening.
Ⅲ.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。
Almost every childhood memory I have is centred on food.Telling stories around a crowded table at holiday dinners, the smell of roasting vegetables, the sensation (感受) of heat coming from the kitchen, all picture a familiar feeling of love and comfort.
My favourite memory of all is making and baking bread together with my grandparents.To this day, I have never tasted bread that is as delicious as theirs.No other loaf has ever been made with that kind of powerful, unconditional love.
When our son Brian, one of seventh graders, began to refuse usual communication with me, I felt desperate.How I missed those lovely old days when he couldn't wait to tell me his stories in kindergarten the moment I arrived home without getting changed! And there were also times when he brought loads of storybooks to me and demanded to be told all the stories before going to bed.But I didn't know since when everything has changed.
There was hardly any sharing about his daily school life with friends or any trouble about his schoolwork.Most of the time, his bedroom door was closed.The cold silence between us seemed to warn me that love between us began to fade.
At that time, like most mothers, I couldn't focus on work and couldn't sleep well.Why did things go off track so much? Was it because my work took away most of my energy that family love was taken for granted? Was it because my only precious spare time went too much to my two-year-old baby daughter that Brian's need for my company was ignored? The more I reflected, the more I felt myself to blame and it was my responsibility to find a way out.
One day, as my eyes landed onto the bread on the kitchen table, I was reminded of those sweet childhood memories. “Could food help us make a change?” I wondered.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
With an uneasy feeling, I decided to try.
More than that, one weekend evening, Brian offered to help me in the kitchen.
参考范文:
With an uneasy feeling, I decided to try.Just then it occurred to me that several days before Brian ever mentioned that he loved the fried rice that I cooked.After a short visit to the market, I began preparing the cooking material.Although it seemed years that I last cooked fried rice, it was still a piece of cake.When he got home from school, Brian was greeted by delicious fried rice on the table and a note reading, “From your Mum who loves you forever.” He was surprised and gave me a hug, saying, “Thank you, Mum.” Although Brian still had his door closed everyday, I was greeted by more broad smiles every time he came back from school.
More than that, one weekend evening, Brian offered to help me in the kitchen.When we were preparing his favorite fried rice together, Brian came to me and looked at me in the eyes, saying,“Mum, although I made you unhappy, I love you in my deep heart just as I love fried rice.” I cried that night for nearly half an hour because I got my Brian back again.
