B (2025四川泸州泸县高二上期中) Growing up,Miriam Armendariz Piccolo helped her mom in the kitchen,especially when it came time to make picadillo(什锦肉糜).Piccolo’s favorite dish — a combination of ground beef,potatoes and chile sauce.Piccolo says the flavors of this dish taste like home to her. As with many mother-daughter relationships,Piccolo and her mom did not always agree.Clashes usually resulted from cultural differences — the traditional culture in Mexico,where the family moved from,and the more progressive culture in their new home of Oregon,she said. But regardless of any disagreements,Piccolo knew that when her mom made picadillo,she was making it for her,because her brother and dad weren’t fans.Coming home from school to this meal meant that her mom had been thinking about her and that they would share the meal together. As much as Piccolo loves picadillo,she hadn’t made it on her own until recently. “I honestly didn’t really know how to make it because I never got the recipe from my mom,” said Piccolo,who now lives in Little Rock,Ark.So,when she came across a video of picadillo on TikTok,she decided to attempt to make it herself.Her aunts also gave her some tips. “It wasn’t so much about how the dish tasted in the end”,Piccolo said.“I wanted to show my aunts that I’m still carrying on for my mom after she died,that I still got her memories and her skills and I’m bringing them with me,” she said. Piccolo’s picadillo turned out to be delicious.She now plans to make it for family,friends and herself and encourages others to try the recipe. “This is going to be a good,hearty dish,” Piccolo said,“It will fill you up knowing that it really was made with love.” 4.Which can replace the underlined word “Clashes” in paragraph 2?

C (2025四川内江翔龙中学高二上期中) There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level,we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress. On a large scale,traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants(移民) bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness. Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional cuisine.However,the food does not remain exactly the same.Some ingredients needed to make traditional cuisine may not be readily available,so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally,immigrants do not only sell cuisine to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.Therefore,they have to make small changes to the original cuisine to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the cuisine. We should not only embrace our heritage through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs,and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture,and it should be treated as such. 8.What’s the function of the traditional food? A.It helps motivate homesickness. B.It shows culture identity. C.It reflects a country’s history. D.It shows a community’s superiority. 9.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant? A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes. B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil. C.To make the dishes popular among customers. D.To present their own food culture in a new way. 10.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures? A.Negative. B.Balanced. C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable. 11.Which column does the passage come from? A.Space. B.Science. C.Food. D.Entertainment. 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.genuine adj.　　　　  2.reservation n.　　　　  3.identity n.　　　　　　　　　　  4.frustration n.　　　　  二、熟词生义 1.branch　本文义:n.　　　　  其他义:n.　　　　  2.embrace　本文义:vt.　　　　  其他义:vt.　　　　  三、词块速记 1.stand out 　　　　　　　　　　　  2.go without saying 　　　　　　　　　　  3.result from 　　　　　　　　　　　  4.associate...with 　　　　　　　　　　　  5.on a large scale 　　　　　　　　　　　  6.cope with 　　　　　　　　　　　  四、经典句式背诵 1.Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies,the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.(whether...or...引导让步状语从句) 句意:  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 2.Nothing brings more comfort than Mum’s cooking.(“否定词+比较级”表示最高级) 句意:   　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 五、长难句分析 But regardless of any disagreements,Piccolo knew that when her mom made picadillo,she was making it for her,because her brother and dad weren’t fans. 此句为复合句,that引导　　　　　　,在这个从句中,when引导　　　　　　　,because引导　　　　　　　　　　。  句意:   　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.cuisine　2.recipe　3.bold　4.chefs　5.temper Ⅱ.1.elegance　2.consumers　3.with　4.of　5.leaving 6.At　7.off　8.exceptional　9.from　10.in Ⅲ.1.Tired and hungry　2.we know what to do　3.did give him a call　4.Not knowing how to use chopsticks Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.Chinese cuisine is famous　2.their colors,varieties of ingredients and flavours　3.where the chefs probably don’t cook Chinese dishes following the authentic Chinese recipe　4.Prior to coming to China;such as Beijing Duck,dumplings,Guangdong’s elegant dim sum,Shandong’s pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions　5.enjoy Chinese cuisine Activity 2 Chinese cuisine is famous all over the world.Chinese meals are popular among foreigners for their colors,varieties of ingredients and flavours.There are many Chinese restaurants abroad where the chefs probably don’t cook Chinese dishes following the authentic Chinese recipe in order to suit local people’s taste.So,prior to coming to China,you may have no chance to experience the authentic Chinese food such as Beijing Duck,dumplings,Guangdong’s elegant dim sum,Shandong’s pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions and so on.So welcome to China to enjoy Chinese cuisine and learn more about Chinese culture.
