一、语法填空
(一)
(25-26高一上·山东青岛·期末)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Lu (卤) frequently finds its way in Chinese dishes. It 1 (original) meant salted water used for meat that's boiled, and then served cold, and for vegetables.
“Salt is the core of Lu, even 2 (important) than spices. Spices can add a pleasant smell or remove some smells, 3 it is the salt that is crucial to the flavor,” says Cao Yu, a food writer at Jinan University.
The earliest 4 (preserve) recipes for making Lu date back to Qimin Yaoshu, an ancient Chinese agricultural text written in the 5th century. Cao believes the Lu we know today emerged around the Ming dynasty, 5 private agricultural businesses and food markets sprang up in China. 6 (attract) customers, these businesses began introducing new flavors to Lu by adding spices. And they then used it to season cooked meats and vegetables that 7 (sell) cold for takeaway.
In the centuries since, Lu has been diversified, taking on the characteristics of each of China's regional cuisines. For example, in Sichuan province, fragrant peppercorn is put into Lu to add flavor and 8 (intense).
Some Lu is even alcoholic: Zao Lu is 9 light one made from the fermented (发酵的) rice 10 (remain) from making Chinese yellow wine. Zao Lu is used across south-eastern China to season vegetables.

1.originally 2.more important 3.but 4.preserved 5.when 6.To attract 7.were sold 8.intensity 9.a 10.remains
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了中餐里卤汁的起源、核心调味要素、发展演变历程,不同地域卤汁的特色以及酒糟卤的制作原料与用途。
【解析】1.考查副词。句意:它最初指用来煮肉和蔬菜的盐水,食材煮熟后冷藏食用。空格修饰动词meant,形容词original要变为副词originally作状语。
2.考查形容词比较级。句意:盐是卤味的核心,甚至比香料更重要。句中出现比较标志词than,多音节形容词important前加more构成比较级more important。
3.考查连词。句意:香料可以增香或去除异味,但盐才是决定味道的关键。前后两个分句存在转折逻辑,用并列连词but表转折关系。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:现存最早的卤汁制作保存配方出自5世纪中国古代农书《齐民要术》。空格修饰名词recipes,preserve与recipes是被动关系,用过去分词preserved作定语,表示“被留存下来的”。
5.考查定语从句。句意:曹宇认为我们如今熟知的卤味成型于明代,当时民间农商与食品市场在中国大量兴起。先行词 the Ming dynasty是表示时间的名词,从句不缺主干成分,用关系副词when引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作时间状语。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:为吸引顾客,这些商铺开始添加香料,给卤汁赋予全新风味。空格置于句首表动作目的,用不定式To attract作目的状语。
7.考查时态语态。句意:随后他们用卤汁腌制熟食肉类和蔬菜,做成冷食外卖售卖。主句时态为一般过去时;先行词 meats and vegetables与sell是被动关系,主语为复数,用一般过去时被动语态were sold。
8.考查名词。句意:例如在四川,人们往卤水里加入花椒增香提味。and连接并列名词,与名词flavor并列,形容词intense 需转换为名词intensity,意为“浓郁度”。
9.考查冠词。句意:还有部分卤汁带有酒味,糟卤就是一种清淡卤汁,由酿造黄酒剩下的发酵米残渣制成。one指代单数可数名词Zao Lu,light为辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a表泛指“一种”。
10.考查名词复数。句意同上。remain作名词表示“残留物、残渣”时常用复数形式remains作宾语。
(二)
(25-26高一下·辽宁大连·期末)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Something extraordinary is happening inside steamer baskets in Jiaodong, Shandong province. A lump of dough (一团面) goes in. 11 comes out is a shiny red fish, an auspicious lion or a peach the size of a child’s face. These are Jiaodong huabobo, or flower-shaped steamed buns, quietly 12 (serve) up a taste of Shandong life for centuries.
Every step of making huabobo requires great care and patience. The main method is hand sculpting, using simple tools 13 scissors, chopsticks and spoons. Patterns on huabobo follow customs 14 (pass) down through generations. The most important part is the steaming process, which locks in the flavor 15 ensures the buns stay soft and fluffy. Though the traditions are long-standing, the old craft undergoes 16 (continue) development to fit in with modern life.
Traditionally, huabobo are the storyteller for Shandong’s rituals and many family occasions. When a baby is one month old, tiger-shaped buns 17 (give) to the child as a good blessing for healthy growth. For the elderly celebrating their birthdays, peach-shaped buns are 18 must as a symbol of longevity and good health.
In recent years, the buns 19 (gain) popularity on social media, attracting customers at home and abroad. The charm of huabobo lies in the perfect mix of tradition, creativity and the warmth of family love. It is this 20 (combine) that keeps the culture of Jiaodong alive in every delicious bite.
【答案】
11.What 12.serving 13.like 14.passed 15.and 16.continuous 17.are given 18.a 19.have gained 20.combination
【导语】主要介绍山东胶东花饽饽的制作工艺、民俗寓意、现代发展以及文化传承价值。
【解析】11.考查主语从句。句意:一团面团放进去,出来的是色泽鲜亮的红鱼、寓意吉祥的狮子或是孩童脸蛋大小的寿桃。此处引导主语从句,从句缺少主语且指代事物,意为“……的东西”,所以用连接代词what,位于句首,首字母需大写。
12.考查非谓语动词。句意:这些就是胶东花饽饽,数百年来默默呈现着山东的生活味道。此处为非谓语动词作状语,serve与逻辑主语Jiaodong huabobo之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词serving作状语。
13.考查介词。句意:主要的制作方式是手工塑形,使用剪刀、筷子和勺子等简单工具。此处用于列举事物,意为“像、例如”,所以此处为介词like。
14.考查非谓语动词。句意:花饽饽上的图案遵循代代相传的民俗。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,pass与逻辑主语customs之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词passed。
15.考查连词。句意:最重要的步骤是蒸制工序,这一步锁住风味并保证饽饽松软蓬松。此处连接两个并列的谓语动词locks和ensures,表并列顺承关系,所以用并列连词and。
16.考查形容词。句意:虽然这项传统历史悠久,但这门古老工艺在不断发展,以适配现代生活。此处修饰名词development,需要形容词作定语,continue对应的形容词continuous意为“连续不断的”。
17.考查动词语态。句意:婴儿满月时,人们会送上老虎造型的饽饽,祝福孩子健康成长。此处为谓语动词,主语tiger-shaped buns与give之间为被动关系,句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数,所以谓语动词为are given。
18.考查冠词。句意:为老人祝寿时,桃子造型的饽饽是必备之物,象征着长寿安康。must为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一件必备的事物”,为泛指,且must是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
19.考查动词时态。句意:近年来,这些饽饽在社交媒体上走红,吸引了国内外的消费者。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In recent years可知,此处强调从过去到现在的情况,要用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”,主语the buns是复数,所以谓语动词为have gained。
20.考查名词。句意:正是这种结合,让胶东的文化在每一口美味中延续生机。本句是强调句,被强调部分是句子主语,this后需要用名词,combine的名词形式是combination,意为“结合,联合”。
二、阅读理解
(25-26高一下·陕西汉中·开学考试)The town of Salem, in New Jersey, is tied to a rather famous story where tomatoes were once seen as “poison apples”. While the story may not be totally true, it shows how tomatoes became a beloved food.
The Aztecs are known for growing, consuming (消耗), and naming the tomato, and the fruit was later brought to Europe by Spanish and Portuguese settlers in the 16th century. Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as wrong, bad and supernatural.
By the 18th century, the tomato was called the “poison apple” because rich people in Europe and America would fall ill or die after eating it. But it wasn’t the consumption of the tomato that led to their illness or death. Instead, it was the plates the rich used to dine on, which contained a high level of lead (铅). When the acid (酸) in tomatoes reacted with the lead, it caused poisoning. This made people think tomatoes were poisonous.
In the late 18th century, people in America were growing tomatoes out of curiosity, not eating them. But how did the “poison apple” lose its bad image and become a beloved piece of produce? Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion — Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see. When he didn’t die of poison, word spread that tomatoes were safe to eat. However, no record of Johnson’s actions has ever been found. But people did find evidence that Johnson actually grew tomatoes.
Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them — contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes. By the 1830s, tomato recipes became popular in America. The legend of Johnson grew, especially after a 1949 radio show acted out his brave act. For years, Salem even held a Tomato Festival celebrating the story. The tomato’s story — from “poison apples” to kitchen favorite — shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.
21.Why were tomatoes avoided in Europe?
A.The price was too high to grow. B.The color was viewed negatively.
C.A story caused great fear of them. D.They were only for rich families.
22.What did Johnson do to change public views on tomatoes according to stories?
A.He did scientific studies on tomatoes.
B.He grew a new variety of tomatoes widely.
C.He wrote many articles against wrong views.
D.He ate tomatoes in public to show they were safe.
23.What truly contributed to tomatoes becoming popular in America?
A.A big festival celebrated the fruit.
B.Italians brought pizza recipes here.
C.Johnson’s action removed everyone’s worries.
D.A popular radio show spread the cooking recipes.
24.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Hero in Tomato History B.How Tomatoes became a Red Fruit
C.A Journey From Poison to Favorite D.How a Story Changed Dinner Table
【答案】21.B 22.D 23.B 24.C
【导语】文章主要介绍了西红柿从被视作“毒苹果”,一步步转变为深受人们喜爱的食材的发展历程,讲述了相关传说与史实。
【解析】21.细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as wrong, bad and supernatural.(西红柿在欧洲传播缓慢,因为许多欧洲人避讳红色,红色被看作是不祥、糟糕且超自然的颜色。)”可知,西红柿在欧洲遭到人们回避,是因为红色在当时被负面看待。
22.细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion — Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see.(传说有一个人帮助改变了大众的看法——新泽西州塞勒姆的罗伯特·吉本·约翰逊,1820年他站在塞勒姆法院的台阶上,当着所有公众的面吃掉一篮子西红柿。)”可知,根据传说,约翰逊当众吃西红柿来证明西红柿是安全的,以此改变大众对西红柿的看法。
23.细节理解题。根据原文第五段“Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them — contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes.(19世纪末20世纪初移民到美国的人群——尤其是带来披萨的意大利人,推动了西红柿最终被人们食用。)”可知,意大利人把披萨配方带到美国,真正推动了西红柿在美国流行起来。
24.主旨大意题。根据原文最后一段“The tomato’s story — from “poison apples” to kitchen favorite — shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.(西红柿的故事——从“毒苹果”变成厨房宠儿,展现传说和史实如何影响我们的饮食。)”及全文内容可知,本文讲述西红柿从被当成毒物,转变为受人喜爱食材的历程。

(26-27高一上·黑龙江绥化·开学考试)When I first arrived in China, I knew little Chinese. And some of the Chinese words I 25 had something to do with food. I learned the names of a few dishes, but still didn’t know most of the things I saw on Chinese restaurant menus. Luckily, there were 26 to help me.
Nearly every restaurant menu in China has pictures of food 27 it. But many restaurants I’ve been to in the US don’t. What is the 28 for the difference?
One thing I’ve definitely (明确地) 29 about China is that food is a bigger part of their culture than it is in the US. A common way to 30 someone in China is to ask them if they’ve eaten yet. Food is just a bigger deal here — and having pictures of food in menus is part of that. Some menus are almost like works of art, with beautiful photos.
Another thing is the 31 of the dishes. Chinese dishes sometimes have fanciful (别出心裁的)names like “palace guard chicken” or “three fresh things from the soil”. These are interesting names, but they don’t really tell you 32 the dishes are like. Therefore, it’s 33 to have pictures so you can actually see what you are going to eat.
There are 34 even more reasons. All I know is that I was very thankful to have those picture menus when I first came to China years ago.

二、阅读理解
(25-26高一下·陕西汉中·开学考试)The town of Salem, in New Jersey, is tied to a rather famous story where tomatoes were once seen as “poison apples”. While the story may not be totally true, it shows how tomatoes became a beloved food.
The Aztecs are known for growing, consuming (消耗), and naming the tomato, and the fruit was later brought to Europe by Spanish and Portuguese settlers in the 16th century. Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as wrong, bad and supernatural.
By the 18th century, the tomato was called the “poison apple” because rich people in Europe and America would fall ill or die after eating it. But it wasn’t the consumption of the tomato that led to their illness or death. Instead, it was the plates the rich used to dine on, which contained a high level of lead (铅). When the acid (酸) in tomatoes reacted with the lead, it caused poisoning. This made people think tomatoes were poisonous.
In the late 18th century, people in America were growing tomatoes out of curiosity, not eating them. But how did the “poison apple” lose its bad image and become a beloved piece of produce? Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion — Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see. When he didn’t die of poison, word spread that tomatoes were safe to eat. However, no record of Johnson’s actions has ever been found. But people did find evidence that Johnson actually grew tomatoes.
Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them — contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes. By the 1830s, tomato recipes became popular in America. The legend of Johnson grew, especially after a 1949 radio show acted out his brave act. For years, Salem even held a Tomato Festival celebrating the story. The tomato’s story — from “poison apples” to kitchen favorite — shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.
21.Why were tomatoes avoided in Europe?
A.The price was too high to grow. B.The color was viewed negatively.
C.A story caused great fear of them. D.They were only for rich families.
22.What did Johnson do to change public views on tomatoes according to stories?
A.He did scientific studies on tomatoes.
B.He grew a new variety of tomatoes widely.
C.He wrote many articles against wrong views.
D.He ate tomatoes in public to show they were safe.
23.What truly contributed to tomatoes becoming popular in America?

C.Johnson’s action removed everyone’s worries.
D.A popular radio show spread the cooking recipes.

(26-27高一上·黑龙江绥化·开学考试)When I first arrived in China, I knew little Chinese. And some of the Chinese words I 25 had something to do with food. I learned the names of a few dishes, but still didn’t know most of the things I saw on Chinese restaurant menus. Luckily, there were 26 to help me.
Nearly every restaurant menu in China has pictures of food 27 it. But many restaurants I’ve been to in the US don’t. What is the 28 for the difference?
One thing I’ve definitely (明确地) 29 about China is that food is a bigger part of their culture than it is in the US. A common way to 30 someone in China is to ask them if they’ve eaten yet. Food is just a bigger deal here — and having pictures of food in menus is part of that. Some menus are almost like works of art, with beautiful photos.
Another thing is the 31 of the dishes. Chinese dishes sometimes have fanciful (别出心裁的)names like “palace guard chicken” or “three fresh things from the soil”. These are interesting names, but they don’t really tell you 32 the dishes are like. Therefore, it’s 33 to have pictures so you can actually see what you are going to eat.
There are 34 even more reasons. All I know is that I was very thankful to have those picture menus when I first came to China years ago.
