六、阅读理解
(2025高一下·江苏无锡·阶段练习)Back in the summer of 2017, I was busy studying in Beijing when I suddenly got homesick for some Western food.
So, I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it — whole chicken! In my head, I imagined a juicy, tender (嫩的) whole bird with perfectly crispy (酥脆的) browned skin with a side of mashed potatoes (土豆泥): just the way it is always prepared in America, right?
For some reason, I never stopped to think that the Chinese definition of a “whole chicken” might be different from my assumptions. I waved a waiter over and hurriedly pointed to the line on the menu to show my food request. Finally, I would be able to satisfy my eagerness!
Yet, when the bird finally landed on my plate, my wide grin (咧嘴笑) turned to one of shock. Rather than a golden crispy brown, the skin was instead bright yellow. But the most obvious was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head! In all my years of eating chicken, I had never seen the head still attached to the rest of the body. Yet here it was, staring back at me.
In America, although people understand where meat comes from, the way food is presented means they aren’t reminded of the living animal it once was. When staring face-to-face with the dead bird on my plate, that fact was made much more apparent.
Still, I carried on, trying to ignore the head while I dug into the chicken breast (胸脯肉). But, even here, I found organs (器官) like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead.
Afterward, I came to understand chicken is almost always served with the head in Chinese dishes. Although my tolerance for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than what I had expected.

A. He missed the food of his home country.
B. He wanted to try Chinese-style chicken.
C. He came across a unique restaurant.
D. He liked its picture on the menu.
2. What shocked the author most?
A. The chicken’s size.
B. The chicken’s dark color.
C. The chicken not being crispy.
D. The chicken served with its head.
3. Why did the author give up eating the chicken finally?
A. He disliked its taste. B. He preferred the rice.
C. He found organs inside. D. He missed American food.
4. What does the author think of Chinese food in the end?

七、七选五
(2025高二下·江苏镇江·期末)Potatoes are a fundamental ingredient in many British kitchens. Whether it’s crafting crispy, golden chips akin to French fries, or serving up a plate of flawlessly roasted potatoes with a Sunday roast, the versatility (用途) of potatoes is endless. 1
Discovering that your potatoes have turned soft and begun sprouting (发芽) when you reach into the pack can quickly disturb dinner plans. 2 . While there are numerous suggestions on how to store them, including expert-approved fridge storage, finding spare room in the kitchen can sometimes be problematic. Therefore, considering other areas in the house where they could be stored for several months might be beneficial. Before you start searching for suitable spots, it’s crucial to first remove the potatoes from the plastic packaging they’re typically sold in. 3 . Instead, opt for a more breathable material like a paper bag, or if you have a large quantity of potatoes, a cardboard box with holes.
Once you’ve relocated them, if you’re lacking kitchen storage, a slightly unconventional location endorsed by a gardening expert can keep potatoes fresh for up to four months.
Gardening expert Randy Lemmon revealed on his website that the optimal storage environment for potatoes is cool, dark and well-ventilated to prevent mould. 4 . An unoccupied bed serves as an ideal storage spot, ensuring consistent airflow and shielding potatoes from light and other produce like onions, which emit gases that can cause spoilage.
While they can be stored for up to four months in this manner, it’s crucial to periodically check for any sprouting or green patches. 5
A. Metal containers can trap moisture and cause potatoes to sprout within a few weeks.
B. However, while cooking them might be easy, keeping them fresh can often pose a challenge.
C. Discard any spoiled potatoes from the box to maintain the freshness of the remaining ones.
D. Contrary to traditional kitchen storage, Randy proposes utilizing your spare room by storing them under an unused bed in shallow boxes.
E. Plastic should be avoided at all costs if you’re aiming to prolong the freshness of your potatoes.
F. But, when stored correctly, potatoes can remain fresh for up to five months.
G. So far, our experts have worked out a few solutions to keeping potatoes fresh.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者初到中国,因想念家乡食物去吃全鸡,结果上菜后发现和自己预想的不同,最终放弃吃鸡。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Back in the summer of 2017, I was busy studying in Beijing when I suddenly got homesick for some Western food.(早在2017年夏天,我在北京忙着学习,突然想念起了一些西方食物)”和第二段中“So, I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it —whole chicken! In my head, I imagined a juicy, tender (嫩的) whole bird with perfectly crispy (酥脆的) browned skin with a side of mashed potatoes (土豆泥): just the way it is always prepared in America, right?(于是我在附近街道游荡,直到撞见一家餐馆——终于找到了!整只鸡!脑海中立刻浮现出多汁嫩滑的烤鸡,外皮金黄酥脆,配着绵密的土豆泥:就像在美国常见的那种做法,对吧?)”可知,作者去吃全鸡是因为想念家乡的食物。故选A项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But the most obvious was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head! In all my years of eating chicken, I had never seen the head still attached to the rest of the body.(但最明显的是有一样东西我宁愿根本没看到:鸡头!吃了这么多年鸡肉,我从未见过脑袋还连在身体上的整鸡)”可知,最让作者震惊的是带着头的整鸡一起被端上来了。故选D项。
3. 细节理解题。根据第六段中“But, even here, I found organs (器官) like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead.(但是,即便在鸡胸肉里,我也发现心脏和肺等器官没有被完全去除。最后,我放弃了,转而只吃米饭)”可知,作者最后放弃吃鸡是因为发现鸡里面还有器官没被完全去除。故选C项。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Although my tolerance for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than what I had expected.(从那以后,我对食物的接受度提高了,虽然我永远不会忘记第一次点全鸡时,得到了超出我预期的东西)”可知,从那以后,作者对食物的接受度提高了,所以推知,作者最后觉得中国食物是可以接受的。故选A项。
5. 主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“Back in the summer of 2017, I was busy studying in Beijing when I suddenly got homesick for some Western food.(早在2017年夏天,我在北京忙着学习,突然想念起了一些西方食物)”、第二段中“So, I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it —whole chicken! In my head, I imagined a juicy, tender (嫩的) whole bird with perfectly crispy (酥脆的) browned skin with a side of mashed potatoes (土豆泥): just the way it is always prepared in America, right?(于是我在附近街道游荡,直到撞见一家餐馆——终于找到了!整只鸡!脑海中立刻浮现出多汁嫩滑的烤鸡,外皮金黄酥脆,配着绵密的土豆泥:就像在美国常见的那种做法,对吧?)”和最后一段“Afterward, I came to understand chicken is almost always served with the head in Chinese dishes. Although my tolerance for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than what I had expected.(后来,我了解到在中国菜里,鸡肉几乎总是带着头一起上的。从那以后,虽然我对食物的接受度提高了,但我永远不会忘记第一次点全鸡时,得到了超出我预期的东西)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者第一次在中国吃全鸡的经历。D选项“My first taste of a chicken in China(我第一次在中国吃鸡肉的经历)”能概括文章内容。故选D项。

【答案】1. B 2. F 3. E 4. D 5. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些保持土豆新鲜的方法,包括避免使用塑料袋包装、选择通风良好的容器,并推荐了一个非传统的储存地点——将土豆放在床下的浅盒中,同时指出要定期检查以防土豆发芽或变质。
1. 根据上文“Whether it’s crafting crispy, golden chips akin to French fries, or serving up a plate of flawlessly roasted potatoes with a Sunday roast, the versatility (用途) of potatoes is endless. (无论是制作类似炸薯条的酥脆、金黄的薯片,还是搭配一盘完美的烤土豆,土豆的用途是无穷无尽的。)”可知,此处提到土豆在英国厨房中的用途广泛,说明土豆的烹饪方法多样且受欢迎。B选项“However, while cooking them might be easy, keeping them fresh can often pose a challenge.( 然而,虽然烹饪它们可能很容易,但保持它们的新鲜往往是一个挑战。)”指出虽然烹饪土豆容易,但保持其新鲜却常常是个挑战,这一转折与上文形成对比,引出了下文关于土豆保鲜的问题。故选B。
2. 根据上文“Discovering that your potatoes have turned soft and begun sprouting (发芽) when you reach into the pack can quickly disturb dinner plans.(当你把手伸进包里的时候,发现你的土豆已经变软并开始发芽,这会很快打乱你的晚餐计划。)”可知,发现土豆变软发芽会打乱晚餐计划,说明土豆的保鲜是个重要问题。F选项“But, when stored correctly, potatoes can remain fresh for up to five months.(但是,如果储存得当,土豆可以保持新鲜长达五个月。)”指出如果储存得当,土豆可以保持新鲜长达五个月,这与上文的保鲜问题相呼应,同时提出了一个解决方案,即正确储存土豆可以延长其保鲜期。故选F。
3. 根据上文“Before you start searching for suitable spots, it’s crucial to first remove the potatoes from the plastic packaging they’re typically sold in.(在你开始寻找合适的地点之前,首先把土豆从它们通常出售的塑料包装中拿出来是至关重要的。)”可知,在寻找合适的储存地点前,要先将土豆从通常出售的塑料包装中取出。E选项“Plastic should be avoided at all costs if you’re aiming to prolong the freshness of your potatoes.(如果你想延长土豆的新鲜度,就应该不惜一切代价避免使用塑料。)”指出如果想要延长土豆的新鲜度,就必须避免使用塑料,这与上文的“从塑料包装中取出”相呼应,同时强调了避免使用塑料对于保鲜的重要性。故选E。
