We were curious about the traditional roast turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. As we ate, Jack explained the history and meaning behind each dish. In return, we shared stories about our own Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinners and the symbolism of mooncakes. That evening, the table was filled not just with American and Chinese food, but with laughter, stories, and mutual curiosity. It was a powerful reminder that sharing food is one of the best ways to bridge cultures, turning unfamiliar customs into shared understanding and friendship. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit3 Food and Culture单元测试卷 考试时间：90分钟 总分：100分 班级： 姓名： 学号： 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Table manners are a mirror of culture. In Western cultures, it is considered polite to keep your hands visible on the table (wrists resting on the edge) but elbows off. The fork is typically held in the left hand and the knife in the right for cutting, after which the fork may be switched to the right hand for eating. In contrast, in many East Asian cultures like China and Japan, it’s common to lift the bowl close to your mouth when eating rice, and slurping noodles can be a sign of enjoyment. In Middle Eastern and some Indian cultures, eating with the right hand is traditional, as the left is considered unclean. These rules aren’t just about etiquette; they reflect deeper values regarding hygiene, community, and respect. Understanding them is crucial to avoid giving accidental offense and to show respect for the host culture when dining abroad. 1. What does the text mainly discuss? A. The history of different cuisines. B. How table manners reflect cultural values and differ around the world. C. Why Western table manners are the best. D. The health benefits of various eating habits. 2. What behavior might be acceptable in Japan but potentially rude in a formal Western setting? A. Using a knife and fork. B. Slurping noodles. C. Keeping elbows off the table. D. Eating with a fork in the right hand. 3. Why is understanding different table manners important according to the text? A. To prove your knowledge. B. To avoid accidental offense and show respect. C. To eat faster. D. To cook better food. B Food is deeply intertwined with identity. What we eat, how we prepare it, and with whom we share it are powerful markers of personal, family, and cultural identity. For immigrants, traditional dishes become a tangible link to their homeland, a way to preserve heritage and pass it to the next generation. A Sunday roast might evoke a sense of Britishness, while the smells of spices frying might instantly transport an Indian expatriate back to their childhood kitchen. Food can also signal social identity, such as vegetarianism or veganism reflecting ethical or environmental values. Furthermore, “foodways”—the social practices surrounding food—like a family recipe, a holiday feast, or a community harvest festival, strengthen group bonds and continuity. In a globalized world, the persistence of food traditions is a key way people maintain a sense of self and belonging amidst change. 4. How does food function for immigrants according to the text? A. It is merely a source of nutrition. B. It serves as a link to their homeland and a means of preserving heritage. C. It forces them to forget their past. D. It is something they try to avoid. 5. What does the term “foodways” refer to? A. Only the nutritional content of food. B. The social practices and traditions surrounding food. C. The speed of modern food delivery. D. A new type of international cuisine. 6. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Food is becoming less important in modern society. B. Food is a powerful marker and sustainer of personal, cultural, and social identity. C. Everyone should eat the same food. D. Identity is only about language and clothing. C The globalization of food has led to the worldwide spread of dishes like pizza, sushi, and curry. While this allows for delightful culinary exploration, it also raises questions about authenticity and adaptation. When a dish travels, it often changes to suit local tastes and available ingredients. American-style Chinese food, for example, is quite different from cuisine in China. This adaptation isn’t necessarily bad—it’s a natural part of cultural exchange and can lead to delicious new fusion cuisines. However, issues arise when the adapted version replaces or misrepresents the original in the public mind, or when elements of a marginalized culture’s cuisine are taken for profit without proper understanding or respect. The key is to appreciate globalized foods while also seeking to understand and value their original cultural contexts. Enjoying a taco is great; taking the time to learn about its history in Mexican culture makes the experience richer and more respectful. 7. What is a common result when a dish spreads globally? A. It always stays exactly the same. B. It often adapts to local tastes and ingredients. C. It immediately becomes unpopular. C. It becomes more expensive than the original. 8. What potential problem is mentioned regarding food globalization? A. It makes all food taste the same. B. Adapted versions may misrepresent the original culture’s cuisine. C. It stops cultural exchange. D. It makes cooking easier. 9. What does the author recommend as a respectful approach to globalized food? A. Only eating food from your own culture. B. Enjoying the food while also learning about its original cultural context. C. Believing the adapted version is always better. D. Never changing a traditional recipe. D Tea culture offers a fascinating lens through which to view cultural differences and connections. In China, tea drinking is an ancient art form (gongfu cha) associated with philosophy, hospitality, and wellness. The Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu) is a highly ritualized spiritual practice emphasizing harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. In Britain, the afternoon tea is a social institution, centered around black tea with milk, accompanied by sandwiches and pastries. Despite these profound differences in ceremony and meaning, the shared consumption of tea creates a common thread. The global tea trade historically shaped economies and empires. Today, the simple act of offering a guest a cup of tea is a nearly universal gesture of welcome, though the type of tea and the accompanying rituals tell a unique cultural story. Studying tea culture shows how a single commodity can be integrated into societies in vastly different yet deeply meaningful ways, serving as both a point of cultural distinction and a potential bridge for cross-cultural understanding. 10. How is the Japanese tea ceremony primarily described? A. As a quick way to get caffeine. B. As a highly ritualized spiritual practice. C. As an import from Britain. D. As a modern trend. 11. What commonality do global tea cultures share despite their differences? A. They all use the same type of tea leaves. B. They all involve drinking coffee as well. C. The act of offering tea is often a gesture of welcome. D. They all have exactly the same rituals. 12. What does the global history of the tea trade illustrate? A. That tea is only a drink. B. That food commodities can shape economies and international relations. C. That everyone likes tea equally. D. That tea has no cultural significance. 13. The word “commodity” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______. A. a religious belief B. a raw material or primary agricultural product that can be traded C. a type of ceremony D. a social problem 14. What is the main point about tea culture in this passage? A. British tea is the best. B. A single item like tea can be adopted and ritualized in unique ways by different cultures, highlighting both diversity and shared human practices. C. Tea is only important in Asia. D. All tea cultures are converging into one. 15. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Understanding different tea traditions can enhance cross-cultural appreciation. B. Tea is becoming less popular worldwide. C. The way tea is drunk is irrelevant to culture. D. The original meaning of tea is always lost when it travels. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Language of Food in Social Gatherings Food plays a central and complex role in social interactions.

She spoke a language of food that went far beyond words. When I was homesick or had a bad day at school, she never asked many questions. She’d simply say, “Come, help me with the dumplings.” At first, I saw it as a chore. But as I watched her skilled hands—the precise pleats on a jiaozi, the perfect swirl of a spring roll—I began to understand. This was her ___21___ . Each dish was a page from a history I hadn’t lived: the spicy mapo tofu that reminded her of Sichuan’s bold flavors, the delicate soup she made to chase away the cold of northern winters, a taste of a place 8,000 miles away, recreated in our American suburb. The kitchen was her classroom. As we worked, stories would ___22___ . She’d tell me about the street vendors of her childhood, about family feasts during the Lunar New Year, about the simple satisfaction of a bowl of hand-pulled noodles after a long day. Her hands, ___23___ and sure, taught me lessons about patience, care, and the beauty of creating something from scratch. I learned that the slight sweetness in her red-braised pork was a memory of a specific kind of rock sugar from her hometown market. The food was delicious, but the real nourishment was in the ___24___ —the history, the love, the sense of continuity. When I left for college, she packed me a suitcase not just of clothes, but of carefully sealed containers filled with food. “So you don’t forget the taste of home,” she said. In my dorm, eating her food was a powerful ___25___ against loneliness. It was a taste of identity, a reminder of who I was and where I came from. Years later, when she grew frail, our roles slowly ___26___ . I found myself in her kitchen, trying to recreate her dishes from memory and scribbled notes. My hands were clumsy, my pleats uneven. I’d call her, frustrated. Her voice, soft over the phone, would guide me: “A little more ginger,” or “The dough needs to rest longer.” The connection, once flowing from her hands to mine, now flowed through the ___27___ . The day I successfully made her signature dish entirely on my own, I brought her a portion. She took a bite, closed her eyes, and nodded. No praise was needed; her ___28___ said it all. In that moment, I realized the true legacy she was passing down wasn’t just a collection of recipes. It was a living culture, a way of expressing love, a means of ___29___ memory and identity across time and distance. The kitchen was no longer just her classroom; it had become my sanctuary, a place where I could always ___30___ my roots and feel her presence. Now, when I cook for my own family, I understand the weight and the joy of this tradition. I’m not just feeding them; I’m weaving our story into the food. I tell my children about their great-grandmother as we cook. Her “language” has become mine. I’ve learned that in every culture, food is more than sustenance. It is a story on a plate, a love letter written in spices and broth, a bridge between generations. My grandmother taught me that to cook her food is to speak her language—a language of resilience, of memory, and of an enduring love that can, quite literally, be tasted and passed on, one meal, one story, at a time. It is the most ___31___ inheritance I could ever receive. 21. A. duty B. language C. hobby D. business 22. A. fade B. flow C. stop D. confuse 23. A. shaky B. rough C. gentle D. quick 24.

A. silence B. criticism C. smile D. question 29. A. preserving B. erasing C. selling D. forgetting 30. A. question B. taste C. hide D. escape 31. A. financial B. fragile C. precious D. temporary 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Mediterranean diet, ___32___ (recognize) by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, is more than just an eating pattern; it’s a lifestyle rooted in the history of the regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
