Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
My mom is an immigrant from China.She speaks Mandarin.She is culturally and ethnically Chinese.She cooks Chinese food every night.She even complains when the local restaurants are not authentic—according to her,most of them are awful.
But weirdly enough,she also enjoys American Chinese food.When she wants to meet with her friends,who are also Chinese immigrants,she likes to have lunch with them at P.F.Chang’s.She likes Panda Express,and she is quick to point it out whenever we are at a food court with one.
Why,then,does American Chinese food seem to have a bad reputation among Chinese Americans? I see this kind of sentiment on the Internet:how American Chinese food,like Panda Express,isn’t “real” Chinese food,how it’s so much worse than actual Chinese food,how it’s “fake” and “unauthentic”,or when people joke about how eating it would be a disgrace to their family.While a lot of these things are technically true,they give American Chinese food too much flack.
American Chinese food deserves to be seen as its own legitimate(合法的) cuisine.It’s important to distinguish American Chinese food from authentic Chinese food.They are not the same cuisine and should not be treated the same.
Like American Chinese food,many foods are borrowed from different cultures.Ramen(拉面) originated from China,but we associate it with Japan because Japanese people made their own version of the dish.Japan also has its own form of curry(咖喱).Should we avoid Japanese ramen and Japanese curry,then? Of course not,and American Chinese cuisine isn’t even the only variation of Chinese cuisine that exists:Indian Chinese cuisine is a popular fusion spin-off,for example.
In fact,American Chinese food is often created by Chinese immigrants themselves adapting their cuisine to cater to the American taste palette.It’s not necessarily a bad thing to have to adapt,as people from different countries will always have differences in taste;that’s just how it is.So there’s nothing wrong with going out to an American Chinese restaurant,because chances are that you’re supporting a “real” Chinese business.In this way,American Chinese food actually is real Chinese food.
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者的母亲是来自中国的移民,她虽然认为美式中餐不正宗却经常光顾美式中餐馆。美式中餐受到很多负面评价,被认为是“假的”和“不正宗的”,但作者认为美式中餐应被视为一种独立的菜系,强调它是由中国移民创造的,适应了美国人的口味。
1.How does the author’s mother like American Chinese restaurants?
A.She complains but enjoys them.
B.She thinks they are awful enough.
C.She regards them as distinct.
D.She thinks they deserve no consumers.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段第一句可知,作者的母亲虽然抱怨美式中餐不够正宗,但她也喜欢美式中餐,故选A项。
2.What does the underlined word “flack” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Praise. B.Evaluation.
C.Criticism. D.Guidance.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“I see this...to their family.”可知,作者在互联网上看到这样的观点:美式中餐,比如熊猫快餐,怎么不是“真正的”中餐,怎么比真正的中餐差得多,怎么是“假的”和“不正宗的”,或者人们开玩笑说吃它会给家人丢脸。由此可推知,画线词所在句意为:虽然这些事情都是事实,但它们对美式中餐的批评有些过头了。故画线词“flack”意为“批评”,和criticism的意思相近,故选C项。
3.Why does the author use “ramen” and “curry” as examples?
A.To push us to rethink the origin and history of many foods.
B.To prove that Japanese people are good at making new dishes.
C.To urge that we should avoid eating Japanese ramen and curry.
D.To stress that foods borrowed from other nations are acceptable.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段“就像美式中餐一样,许多食物都是从不同的文化中引进的。拉面起源于中国,但我们把它与日本联系在一起,因为日本人制作了自己的拉面。日本也有自己的咖喱。那么,我们应该避免吃日本拉面和日本咖喱吗?当然不是,美式中餐甚至不是中餐的唯一变体:例如,印度中餐是一种流行的融合衍生品”可知,作者用“ramen”和“curry”作为例子是为了强调从其他国家引进的食物是可以接受的,故选D项。
4.What is the author’s attitude towards American Chinese food?
A.Cautious. B.Sympathetic.
C.Indifferent. D.Ambiguous.
答案 B
解析 观点态度题。根据第四段中“American Chinese food deserves to be seen as its own legitimate(合法的) cuisine.(美式中餐理应被视为其合法的美食)”及最后一段中“In fact...American taste palette.(事实上,美式中餐通常是由中国移民自己创造的,他们调整自己的美食以迎合美国人的口味)”可知,作者对美式中餐的态度是支持和同情的,故选B项。
B
Australia Day,which is celebrated annually on January the 26th,is in memory of the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip,commander of the First Fleet of 11 British ships,arrived at Sydney Cove to mark the birth of the colony(殖民地).It is an official national holiday and most Australians take the day off work.All schools close.Every year,many in this nation of 24 million people gather on beaches and around barbeques to celebrate.There are many other celebrations across the country,including many spectacular fireworks displays.From boats competitions,camel races,to outdoor concerts,Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be—a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation:freedom,independence,a fair go,mateship.
However,not all Australians feel the same about the day.Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date.Native Australians,in particular,have long referred to this date as “Invasion(入侵) Day” or “National Day of Mourning(哀悼)” in protest of the arrival of the British peoples.They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization.There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration,a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations.
In response to the protests,the Australian government has recognized the traditional owners of the lands on which Australia Day activities take place,in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society.“Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion,as well as an opportunity for greater understanding,” one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是澳大利亚日的历史背景、庆祝方式以及一些澳大利亚人对这个日子的不同看法。
5.What is the original purpose of Australia Day?
A.To observe a late summer festival.
B.To honor the arrival of the British.
C.To celebrate national identity and values.
D.To mourn the natives who suffered during colonization.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“From boats competitions,camel races,to outdoor concerts,Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be—a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation:freedom,independence,a fair go,mateship.”可知,澳大利亚日的最初目的是庆祝国家认同感和价值观。故选C项。
6.What does the underlined word “controversy” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Debate. B.Defence.
C.Faith. D.Puzzle.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段画线词之前“However,not all Australians feel the same about the day.”可知,澳大利亚人对于澳大利亚日有着不同的看法,所以关于在这个日期进行庆祝的正确性是有分歧的,由此可以推测画线词的意思应为“争议,争端”,与A项Debate(争论)意思相近。故选A项。
7.What did the British probably do to the native Australians after their arrival?
A.They mourned the suffering of native Australians.
B.They recognized native Australians’ independence.
C.They protested against native Australians’ ownership of the land.
D.They brought loss of life and hardship among native Australians.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Native Australians,in particular,have long referred to this date as ‘Invasion(入侵) Day’ or ‘National Day of Mourning(哀悼)’ in protest of the arrival of the British peoples.They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization.”可知,英国人的到来给土著澳大利亚人带来了生命损失和苦难。故选D项。
8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.More Australia Day activities will be organized.
B.The date of Australia Day will soon be changed.
C.The protests of changing the date have already been settled.
D.Australia Day should be celebrated with understanding and respect.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“...in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society.‘Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion,as well as an opportunity for greater understanding,’ one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said.”可推断,澳大利亚人应该怀着理解和尊重来庆祝澳大利亚日。故选D项。
