[Tip]
由主旨推句子的深层含义
结合本文的语言风格可以感知第5题题干中引用的话是作者以玩笑的口吻说出的,故不能照字面意思理解;结合文章的主旨“由冰箱了解不同人的饮食习惯,进而揭示饮食对健康的影响”可以推出,这句话是Max在委婉、风趣地表明自己不下厨做饭,故冰箱里不会装满各种食材,看起来相对整洁。
(二)阅读表达
1.How do you understand the English saying — you are what you eat?
The_food_we_eat_impacts_on_our_health_directly._If_we_eat_healthy_food,_we_will_be_healthy,_and_we_will_be_unhealthy_if_we_constantly_eat_processed_foods_like_junk_food._Our_food_choices_are_often_reflected_in_how_we_look_too_—_our_skin_may_not_be_clear_or_we_may_become_overweight_if_we_eat_unhealthily._So_eating_freshly_prepared_local_and_seasonal_foods_is_better_for_keeping_us_healthy_and_looking_good.
2.Do you know of any Chinese sayings about food and health? What is your understanding of them in English? (Answers may vary.)

本文的语篇类型为专栏文章。专栏文章一般是专门介绍某一主题的报刊文章,如本文以饮食健康为主题,用图片和文字相结合的方式展示了五位人物的冰箱里有什么,并介绍了他们的职业特点、饮食习惯和生活习惯。
专栏文章中使用的材料都是围绕一个主题进行组织的,但因其形式较为灵活,材料相对分散,文章主题一般不能通过简单地浏览几个段落而获得,通常需要通读各段材料,综合分析各材料的共性以及作者选取这些材料的目的来提炼文章的主旨大意。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.I often end up saving part of my meal for the next day.
赏析:短语end up doing表示“最终处于某种状态”,描写了Ellie由于太过疲劳,吃不下饭,常常会剩下一部分饭菜留到第二天吃,形象地写出了一位医生忙碌的生活日常。
2.Cooking together gives us a chance to relax and catch up on each other's days.
赏析:本句中的短语catch up on意为“聊聊近况”,表达了Jenny认为一起做饭给了他们放松的机会,让他们有机会可以聊聊彼此日常的情况。
3.I still don't think that anything can beat my mum's homemade sausages, though.
赏析:本句中使用了动词beat,beat是个多义词,常见的意思有“击败;(在比赛或竞争中)赢,打败(某人);敲打;难倒;比……更好”等。此处为“比过,赛过”之意,表示Ted认为自己妈妈做的香肠是最好吃的,没有什么能与之相比。
[提能训练|完成句子]
①If you don't know what you want, you might end_up_getting_something you don't want.
如果你不知道自己想要什么,你最终可能会得非所愿。
②I had a coffee date with Penny and we had a great time catching_up_on_each_other.
我和佩妮一起喝了杯咖啡,开心地聊了聊彼此的近况。
③Nothing beats_home_cooking.
什么也比不上家里做得好吃。
(二)赏句式之高
1.I guess I've always been a big meat eater and in this house, no family meal is complete without some form of meat.
赏析:本句中的“no family meal ... meat”运用了双重否定结构“no ... without”来表示肯定意义。双重否定在语法上起到加强语气的作用,强调说明和明确立场时经常使用。
2.There are five of us living in our shared student house.
赏析: 本句是there be句型,现在分词短语living in our shared student house作后置定语,修饰five of us,其中过去分词shared 作前置定语,修饰student house。分词的使用,简化了句式结构,增加了句子的凝聚力。
[提能训练]
①(完成句子)There are a lot of companies making_this_product.
有很多公司在做这种产品。
②(汉译英)不努力没有人会成功。
No_one_will_succeed_without_efforts.
(三)赏修辞之功
Once a week, we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food.
赏析:本句中的do a big shop使用了“借代”修辞,表示大购物,买很多东西。借代是用具体的事物代替抽象的概念。它可以突出语意,增强表达效果。

①The kettle is boiling.
水开了。
②Where did you buy this cotton?
你在哪里买的这件衣服?
