词义猜测题专练(二)——猜测指代类A[2019·洛阳市第二次统考] 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 bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes 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 dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should embrace our heritage (传统) 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.体裁:议论文题材:饮食文化主题:食物和文化之间的联系【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。

vehicle?What if I didn’t make it home at all?” St.Onge wondered.Determined to ensure the safest end,she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign,and then found a neighborhood Meta group for the area she was passing through—warning others of her plight through a Google Maps pin.That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr.,a retired rescuer,got a call about St.Onge’s situation.He went out to find her,on foot,since he couldn’t manage to start his tractor.On the way he found three other trapped vehicles.He walked the quarter mile there and back,and led the helpless

theletter,which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls.The letter,together with 17 others,fell out of a ventilation hole(通风口) this summer,dirty and wrinkled,as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius.Jurgis Vilnius,owner of the building immediately called the post office.“I’m so happy they got interested,” said he.Street names and their numbering have

词义猜测之句意猜测题AAllow me to introduce you to Terry,a window salesman from England.If I could take you back about 20 years,you’d know Terry as a complete green hand,who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted.A person couldn’t sell false teeth to his own Granny,let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry.You know,the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos.Terry’s boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day.So off he went,but he was extremely nervous.With his hands and his knees shaking,he approached the front door and knocked at it.And an old woman appeared.After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits,the woman signed a contract and purchased over 7,000 worth of windows.The woman had already talked with 6 excellent salesmen that week,all of whom offered her cheaper ones!That’s right—Terry’s price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was.So,what happened then?Here comes the secret.The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others.That’s all there was to it.She didn’t care about the extra expense.Even the other salesmen couldn’t persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for.The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesmen’s talk.First impressions count,not the sales techniques,not the low prices.The actual “personality” the kid honestly gave was all that was required.If you market your own products and services,consider what impression you are giving to others.If you appeal to them,then you’ve already done half of the work.If this means redesigning your presentation,then so be it.If this means going out of your way to be polite,helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers,then so be it.1.When Terry was offered the job of salesman,he .A.was good at sales techniquesB.knew little about sales skillsC.was believed in by his bossD.was too young to do it答案 B解析细节理解题。

B[2019·山西太原五中阶段检测] The Arctic Circle —the habitat of polar bearsand decreasing sea ice at the top of the world — hit 32 degrees Celsius last week.This was the temperature in Banak, Norway on July 30, though some Norwegian areas even reached a couple degrees warmer, according to the European Severe Weather Database. Banak sits atop northern Europe, over 350 miles above the bottom edge of the Arctic Circle.The Northern Hemisphere and Europe itself have been repeatedly scorched by both record and nearrecord temperatures this summer as a consequence of overall rising global temperatures.In the past 40 years, Earth's climate has experienced an accelerated warming trend, which adds an extra level of background warming to hot spells — making heatwaves more extreme, climate scientists have said.A photo of what appears to be Scandinavian folks taking a dip in a river while reindeer —the coldadapted herbivores (食草动物) — cooled off in the water beside them is perhaps the best example of just how hot it is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now.The “warm season” in Banak is short, lasting a round three months, but the very warmest day of the year, around July 23, is usually around 62 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏度) —about 30 degrees cooler than temperatures there now. Overall, temperatures in northern Europe are between 14 to 21 degrees Fahrenheit, 10 to 6 degrees Celsius above average.Alltime temperature records were set in both Norway and Finland on July 30, including 86 degrees Fahrenheit, 30 degrees Celsius, in Cape Verde, near Banak, though extreme or nearrecord temperatures blanketed the region.Persistent heat and dryness this summer have transformed normally green European countries into brown and yellow lands, and the continent's extreme heat is expected to persist.Andrew Derocher, a professor at the University of Alberta who studies polar bears, said climate change is shrinking the ice bears usually hunt on, making them faced with the danger of extinction.体裁:说明文题材:环境与自然主题:气候变暖对北极圈及北极熊的影响【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,由于全球变暖的速度不断加快,作为北极熊栖息地的北极圈现在也面临着温度升高的状况。
