[Tip]
防干扰之曲解文意
命题者在设置干扰项时常使用原文的词汇或使干扰项与原文句子结构及词汇几乎完全一样,只是在不起眼的地方略微改动某个词或表达方法,造成干扰项与原文不符。如第5题A选项,文中提到的是teahouses从唐朝开始流行;再如D选项,文中提到的是over a thousand offerings。答题时要仔细对照文中信息句,谨慎识别干扰项陷阱。
(二)阅读表达
1.What's the author's purpose of writing these blog entries?
___________________________________
To introduce traditional Chinese foods.
2.How many kinds of Chinese cuisine do you know, and can you describe their feature?
There are at least eight different kinds of Chinese cuisine: Shandong (fresh and salty), Sichuan (hot from chillies and from Sichuan peppercorns), Jiangsu (soft texture, a little sweet), Cantonese (mild and slightly sweet), Fujian (umami taste, light), Zhejiang (fresh flavours, soft texture), Hunan (dry hot), and Anhui (fresh herbs, oily colourful).In addition, there are numerous cooking styles that are associated with ethnic minorities.
3.What, if anything, do these cuisines tell you about the people who eat them?
The cuisines certainly say something about the kinds of ingredients available to the people, and a lot about the kinds of flavours the people prefer.
抓主要特征,悟语言特色
本文为新媒体语篇,文章是一位美食评论家的三则博客日志,分别介绍了中国三个不同地区的传统美食,具有事物说明文的特征。读文时,应通过逐层概括归纳,重点把握每一个事物的主要特征或本质,如作者在介绍四川火锅时,围绕“the hot flavour”这一主要特征从各角度展开说明。
内化读文技法
同时,此类文章讲究语言的生动性、趣味性,并多用比喻、拟人、讲故事等方法让文章内容更生动形象、风趣活泼。此外,对事物的细节描述通常和作者的主观感受结合起来,如本文中的mouth-watering、let loose rivers of sweat、juicy and salty 等。这些生动形象、细致入微的描写能让读者产生身临其境的代入感。读文时,注意分析、品悟文章的语言特色。
No.2 美表达/强化写作“基本功”
(一)赏用词之妙
1.The mouth-watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China, and the hot flavour is enough to heat up a cold midwinter evening or to let loose rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon.
赏析:本句中的mouth-watering形象生动地描述了四川火锅的美味令人垂涎欲滴;后半句中的heat up动态地描写了火锅的辛辣风味温暖了隆冬的寒夜,rivers of则形象地描写了夏日吃火锅时汗流如注的情景。
2.A local history book from the late Qing Dynasty praised salted duck in particular, saying it was without equal.
赏析:本句中without equal写出了盐水鸭的味道无与伦比,深受欢迎;另外,此处say为熟词生义,表示“写着,说道”。
3.It definitely hit the spot when I tried it, and it has become one of my personal favourites.
赏析:本句中使用了短语hit the spot“使人满意,正合需要”,表示盐水鸭正合作者胃口,同时也表达出了作者对盐水鸭的喜爱之情。
There is a note pinned on the door _______(say) when the shop will open again.

saying
(二)赏句式之高
1.The mouth-watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China, and the hot flavour is enough to heat up a cold midwinter evening or to let loose rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon.
赏析:本句中使用了as ...as ...这一比较结构,表明四川火锅在中国和海外都很受欢迎。在描述事物时使用as ...as ...结构,可使表述更加具体准确、形象直观。
2.What I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer a great opportunity to socialize with friends since a meal can last for hours.
赏析:本句中使用了what引导的主语从句和that引导的表语从句。多重复合句的使用不仅能提升文章的整体水平,增加表达的层次性,还能起到更好的表意效果。
3.In Guangzhou, morning tea is such an essential part of the daily routine that “Have you had your tea?” has become the local version of “Good morning.”
赏析:本句中使用了such ...that ...句型来表述结果,强调了早茶在广州人生活中的地位。
①When I heard the news that you were admitted to your ideal university, I was ___________you.
当我听到你被梦想的大学录取的消息时,我和你一样激动。
②__________________________ you'd better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot.

(三)赏衔接之顺
In the beginning, the delicious dish was made simply by boiling vegetables, chillies and Sichuan peppers in water.Over time, it has expanded to include multiple options of soups, vegetables, meats and sauces, appealing to people of different tastes.
赏析:此处用时间顺序词In the beginning及Over time讲述了火锅的发展历史,由刚开始的做法单一到后来品种和口味的多样化,过渡自然、衔接流畅。
(四)赏描摹之韵(场景描写)
As the soup bubbled slowly over a gas burner in the middle of the table, its surface was covered with a beautiful layer of chillies, Sichuan peppers, spring onions and red oil.Slowly at first, and then faster and faster, we tipped plates of fresh meat,fish and vegetables into the pot.The hot flavour quickened our laughter and conversation, making the meal the perfect way to relax with friends.
赏析:此处描写了吃火锅的场景。bubbled slowly是动态描写,呈现了火锅刚开始沸腾时的情形,was covered with a beautiful layer of则具体描绘了火锅的画面:表面覆盖着一层辣椒、花椒、葱段和红油,让读者犹如亲见。Slowly at first, and then faster and faster从侧面描写了火锅的美味,让人停不下筷子。最后一句则是对氛围的描写,quickened一词形象生动,点亮了此处的表达。
No.3 课时检测
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My mother always told us there is no use crying over spilt milk.That means you should not get angry when something bad happens and cannot be changed.She also told us you have to break some eggs to make an omelet (煎蛋卷).This means you have to do what is necessary to move forward.
My mother believed you are what you eat.A good diet is important for good health.She would always give us healthy food.She liked serving us meat and potatoes for dinner.The meat and potatoes can also mean the most important part of something.
People always said my father was the salt of the earth, because he would never pour salt on a wound, or make someone feel worse about something that was already a bad experience.However, sometimes he told us a story that seemed bigger than life.So we had to take it with a grain (粒) of salt.That is, we could not believe everything he told us.
My manager at work does not always know what is going on in our office.Yet she is right about one thing: there is no such thing as a free lunch.Something may appear to be free, but there may be a hidden cost.When we fail to see problems at work, the manager tells us to wake up and smell the coffee.We need to pay more attention and fix the problem.I once made a big mistake at the office and felt silly.I had egg on my face.
Over the weekend, my friend invited me to watch a football game on television.But I do not like football.It is not my cup of tea.
I hope I have given you food for thought, that is, something to think about.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。通过对家庭中母亲和父亲、工作中的经理等不同人的描述,作者向我们介绍了人生的不同感悟,同时介绍了英语中常用的与食物相关的俚语以及这些俚语运用的具体语境等。
1.When problems came up, the author's mother told them to .

√
2.Which of the following is used to describe the most important part of something?

C.is a very nice man D.is a good storyteller
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第一句中的“because he would never pour salt on a wound, or make someone feel worse about something that was already a bad experience”可知,父亲从不往别人的伤口上撒盐,不会在别人已经感到糟糕的时候让别人感到更糟糕,这说明父亲是善良的。
4.If a girl's face turns red because she does a wrong thing, she may say “_______”.
A.I am what I eat B.I have egg on my face
C.It is not my cup of tea D.I'm the salt of the earth

A short cooking video posted by a netizen has recently become a popular hit on the site.Bearing the tag “Chinese food”, the video not only showed off the chef's superb skills in making Chinese dishes, but it also got netizens abroad wanting to get a taste of China's unique food culture.
Although the video was nothing master-level, just a rather standard home-made fried potato dish, it received more than 200,000 likes after only three days of posting.In addition to praising the chef, commenters wondered why such a simple Chinese dish could look like a fancy cuisine that had been made through tons of effort.“Even the most basic Chinese dish needs to have three elements: color, smell and taste.For example, color not only requires a chef to have sharp eyes, but also valuable experience,” said Wang, an experienced Chinese chef in Guangzhou.
Chinese cooking is not the only type of content covered by the tag.Other popular videos under the tag include “odd food” challenges, traditional Chinese dishes and Chinese snack tasting, the latter of which has become particularly popular among young omnivore vloggers (video bloggers) living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalization.
“I have been a fan of Chinese food ever since my Chinese friend cooked me di san xian at university.I was surprised by the dish's taste and its look, which was very different from my home food, but felt it was very familiar to me because I noticed we share similar cooking skills,” said Bianca, an Italian Asian food fan.
“I started my channel by recording my roommate tasting my cooking.These videos got likes and comments gradually.Seeing some people commenting in German or English and saying ‘I want to try it’, I felt these videos can narrow the gap between the two cultures,” said Mr Bear, a vlogger on the Internet who promotes Chinese cooking.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国烹饪在年轻的博主中很受欢迎,中国饮食文化成为全球化的一个组成部分。
5.What does the underlined word “omnivore” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.People eating meat.
B.People eating vegetables.
C.People eating diverse food.
D.People eating Chinese food.
√
解析:词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句子可知,the latter of which指代的是“Chinese snack tasting”,但中国小吃不只包含蔬菜和肉类,而“vloggers”的后置定语是“living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalization”,因此博主也不能仅限于吃中国食物的人们。故画线词指“吃多样食物的人”。
6.What does Bianca think of Chinese food?
A.Common and dear.
B.Special and familiar.
C.Weird and delicious.
D.Similar and disconnected.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,Bianca认为中餐很特别并且又对它有熟悉的感觉。

A.The majority of his fans tasted the food he cooked.
B.His roommate encouraged him to cook Chinese food.
C.He is an expert determined to become a Chinese chef.
D.His videos make a difference to cultural communication.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Mr Bear提到他的这些视频逐渐受到人们的喜欢和评论,这些视频可以缩小两种文化之间的差距。由此可知,Mr Bear的视频对文化交流产生了影响。
8.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Chinese culture has aroused people's interest overseas.
B.The video is more master-level rather than a standard home-made dish.
C.Basic Chinese dish has three elements: color, smell and taste.
D.Chinese cooking has become popular among young vloggers.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段可知,网友在某网站上发布的简短烹饪视频最近在该网站上很受欢迎。第三段第二句也提到中国烹饪在年轻的视频博主中尤为流行。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Easy, kid-friendly ways to make tomato sauce
You can't beat the convenience of tomato sauce from a jar, but what about when you're desiring something a little more homemade?You don't need to keep an Italian grandmother on speed-dial. 9 Use two pints (品脱) of tomatoes in the following formulas to make approximately three servings' worth of sauce.
No-cook tomato sauce
10 Add all the ingredients to a large bowl, sprinkle generously with salt, and stir in a few tablespoons of olive oil.Let the mixture sit for 2 or 3 hours at room temperature to allow the salt to soften the tomatoes and meld the flavors.
Cherry tomato pan sauce
Slice the tomatoes in half and thinly slice or mince 1 or 2 garlic cloves (depending on how much you love garlic). 11 Cover and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have mostly softened into a stirrable sauce.Taste and season with salt and pepper, along with any fresh or dried herbs.
Roasted or grilled tomato sauce
Keep the tomatoes whole for this version.Preheat a conventional oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or preheat a gas grill to medium heat.For oven-roasting, place the tomatoes in a single layer in a baking dish.Roast for about 20 to 25 minutes, or grill for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are starting to burst and the skins are starting to char. 12
13 So you can add other ingredients you may have on hand.Add more, or cut back on, garlic depending on your tolerance.Experiment with adding a few shallots instead of an onion.Stir in chopped fresh or dried herbs like basil, oregano, rosemary and parsley.If you like heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
A.This olive oil-based sauce is ideal for vegetarians.
B.Roughly cut the tomatoes and any fresh herbs on hand.
C.You just need a helpful kid and some tomatoes to start.
D.Carefully pour the tomatoes into a bowl and season to taste.
E.These sauce techniques are customizable to your family's tastes.
F.Add more salt to taste and chopped fresh herbs if you have them.
G.Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then stir in the tomatoes and garlic.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种简单的、适合孩子的番茄酱的制作方法。
9.解析:选C 设空句承接上文。根据前文可知,作者用幽默的口吻表示做番茄酱这件事要求不高。C项用同样的口吻进一步补充上文观点,表明做番茄酱简单易学。
10.解析:选B 设空处引出下文。根据本段小标题“No-cook tomato sauce”可知,本段提到番茄酱无需烹饪,且后文提及了做番茄酱所需的所有原料,由此可知,设空句也应提及“原料”,B项符合主旨并且照应后文的“the ingredients”。
11.解析:选G 设空句承上启下。前文提到了“西红柿、大蒜”等,设空句应继续讲述如何处理该原料,且后文提及了“煮”“搅拌”,由此可知,设空句应有“加热”等核心词汇。G项照应前文的大蒜、西红柿等原料以及后面搅拌成酱汁的步骤。
12.解析:选D 设空句承接上文。根据前文可知,直到前文提及的步骤,烹饪已经结束,因此,设空句应提及“装碗”,D项为完成番茄酱的最后一步,前后衔接紧密。
13.解析:选E 设空句引出后文,为该段主旨句。根据后文可知,在做番茄酱的过程中,其他原料可以随意添加,由此可知,该部分内容强调制作的主观性和自主性,E项总结了制作番茄酱的自主性,承接下文添加自己有的原料,可作段首句。
