课时作业(九) Unit 3 Period 1
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fast-food chains including Burger King and Starbucks have brought in plant-based meat products to China in an effort to promote healthy eating and protect the environment. Readers share their opinions.
Linda (China)
I just don't get it. If you want something that tastes like meat, you'd better eat meat. Plant-based meat is highly processed. It is not as healthy as vegetables. It contains amounts of unhealthy fat, salt and artificial additives. Regular exercise, along with a well-balanced diet, is the best way to stay healthy.
Terryfoy (the UK)
The human body was not designed for us only to eat vegetables. We are designed to eat meat. The protein that our body must have to survive comes from the meat we eat. The body functions properly with the correct balance between meat and vegetables. Too much meat and we get fat;too little meat and we get skinny and weak. If you want to be healthy, you must eat a balanced diet of both meat and vegetables.
Taikor (Malaysia)
Start with a huge cutdown on meat. Regarding pigs, do you know they could outsmart you on PlayStation games? Don't be surprised. They're much smarter than dogs. So they are better at video games than some primates(灵长目动物). Pigs are extremely clever animals. They're gentle, defenseless creatures. Start doing it now. It's time we made a change.
Sockmonkey (Singapore)
I could never be a vegetarian. I eat very little meat, but I do love the meat I eat! If one has to cut down on meat, it seems that red meat is the first thing to be minimized since it's not as good for you as other types.
1.What does Linda think of plant-based meat?
A.Unhealthy. B.Necessary.
C.Delicious. D.Well-balanced.
2.Who suggests that humans have less meat?
A.Linda and Taikor.
B.Linda and Terryfoy.
C.Taikor and Sockmonkey.
D.Terryfoy and Sockmonkey.
3.What's the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce the harm of eating too much meat.
B.To show us different opinions about eating meat.
C.To inform us of the advantages of a balanced diet.
D.To state the necessity of protecting the environment.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要就连锁快餐店引进植物性肉制品问题展示了来自不同国家的四个人的不同观点。
1.解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段Linda的观点的第四句“It is not as healthy as vegetables.”可知,Linda认为植物性肉制品不如蔬菜健康。故选A。
2.解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Start with a huge cutdown on meat.”及接下来提到猪是很聪明的动物可知,Taikor建议人们少吃猪肉;根据最后一段最后一句“If one has to cut down on meat, it seems that red meat is the first thing to be minimized since it's not as good for you as other types.”可知,Sockmonkey建议人们少吃红肉。即这两个人建议人们少吃肉,故选C。(注:red meat指生时呈红色的肉类,如猪肉、牛肉、羊肉。)
3.解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,本文主要就连锁快餐店引进植物性肉制品问题展示了一些人的观点,所以本文的目的是向我们展示关于吃肉的不同观点。故选B。A项“为了介绍吃太多肉的危害”,虽然在Terryfoy的观点中提到,Too much meat and we get fat,但它仅是一个观点,不是整篇文章的目的;C项“为了告诉我们均衡饮食的好处”,这也是作为其中某些人的观点在第二、三段中提到,但其他段没有涉及,也不是整篇文章的目的;D项“为了说明保护环境的必要性”在第一段中提到,它是引进植物性肉制品的一个原因,但不是这篇文章的主要目的。
B
While we were growing up, our mother reminded us not to put our elbows on the table, to put our napkin in our lap, and to chew with our mouth closed until one day, elegant table manners became a natural habit.
Just as we in the U.S. practice standard etiquette (礼节) for dining, so do people in countries around the world. But when we gather around a table to eat, our table manners may differ from others' manners, depending on where in the world they are.
In Chile, for example, it's a bad form to eat anything with your hands, which means even sandwiches should be sliced off with a knife and picked up with a fork. Ethiopians, however, consider it wasteful to eat with utensils (器皿), and eat everything with their hands——specifically their right hand.
In parts of Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia, diners pay respect to Pachamama, the Andean goddess of fertility and harvest, by spilling (洒出) a few drops of their drink on the ground and saying,“Para la Pachamama.”This ritual is called“cha'lla”. To make an offering, some tip their glass over, and others flick (轻弹) it with two fingers.
It's customary in Egypt to wait for someone else to refill your glass and for you to refill your neighbor's glass when needed. If a glass is less than half full, it needs refilling. If your neighbor forgets to refill your glass, you can let him know it needs to be refilled by pouring a little more drink into his glass. It's never acceptable, however, to refill your own glass.
In England, port (波尔图葡萄酒) is continuously passed to the left side of the table until it's finished. Some say this has to do with the naval (海军的) tradition——the port side of a boat is on your left if you're facing the helm (舵)——but the true reason is unclear. If the port is not passed, it's considered impolite to ask for it. Instead, a neighbor can ask the person who has it,“Do you know the Bishop of Norwich?”If they reply that they don't know him, the response is,“He's a very good chap (家伙), but he always forgets to pass the port.”
4.How do people eat in Chile?
A.They seldom use utensils.
B.They prefer to use their hands.
C.They only eat sandwiches with a knife and fork.
D.They always eat with utensils.
5.In which country people practise a religious ceremony before eating their meals?
A.Bolivia. B. Ethiopia.
C.Egypt. D. England.
6.What should you do if you want to have your glass refilled in Egypt?
A.Pour a little drink into your glass.
B.Keep your glass half full.
C.Pour a little more drink into your neighbor's glass.
D.Show your glass to your neighbor.
7.When someone says“Do you know the Bishop of Norwich?”, what does he want you to do?
A.Pass him the port. B.Watch your manners.
C.Listen to a legend. D.Drink the port.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了世界上一些其他地方的餐桌礼仪。
4.解析:选D 细节理解题。从文章第三段可知,在智利,人们认为用手吃东西是不礼貌的,因此他们总是用器皿来吃饭。故选D。
5.解析:选A 细节理解题。从文章第四段中的In parts of Peru,Argentina,Chile,and Bolivia可知,在这些地方,人们在吃饭前经常要做一个宗教仪式。故选A。
6.解析:选C 细节理解题。从文章第五段可知,在埃及,你不能自己把杯子斟满,要等邻座给你斟满杯子,如果他没注意你的杯子不满,你可以向他的杯子里多倒一些饮料来让他知道。故选C。
7.解析:选A 推理判断题。分析文章最后一段可知,在英国,当你需要波尔图葡萄酒被传递时,你不能直接要,而要问“你知道诺里奇的主教吗?”,故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五
Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it? 1 . I'm here to try to convince you that porridge can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.
Porridge is a type of food served for breakfast, usually a type of grain with either milk or water. It is thicker than liquid, but not solid. 2 , so it's a very good option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.
Porridge preparation, such as the amount of materials and cooking time, depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. 3 , I put a very big handful of oats in a pot, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. It takes about five minutes to cook.
Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavor. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavor. 4 , I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper-you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Seeds, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then sugar and chocolate are also ideal options.
5 . Either oats or corn or both are“staple foods”for most people on the earth. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting-whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are.
Hopefully porridge sounds a lot tastier now!
A.If you've never eaten it
B.If I'm cooking for myself
C.The porridge base is very easy to digest
D.It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either
E.It is often heated up but lacks all kinds of nutrition
F.You can make porridge almost anywhere in the world
G.Although some people think this makes porridge boring
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。粥是很好的早餐,但是很多人不喜欢它,认为其寡淡无味。在读完文章之后,你会对粥有一个全新的认识。

4.解析:选G 根据后文“I think this is what makes porridge exciting”可知,此空应为与后文完全相反的观点,G项(虽然有些人认为这使粥令人厌烦)符合语境。故选G。
5.解析:选F 根据本段中“wherever you are”及本段所述内容可知,F项(你几乎可以在世界上任何地方做粥)符合语境。故选F。
