My cousins were a fundamental part of my life; 2 they were not with me, they were on my mind. They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood， 3 games，adventures and silliness, but they also helped 4 me from an at-times selfish teenager into a responsible adult.My aunt and uncle moved here from Boston with their 1-year-old daughter Yasmeen. They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was 5 to have our family, especially a baby girl, so close to us. Yasmeen had close friendships with each of my sisters, but I knew the one that 6 between us was the strongest. As she began to walk on her own and talk in full sentences, I realized my great 7 upon her. I noticed that she'd 8 some of my unpleasantactions, 9 with her mother after I had done the same. Yasmeen made me realize what being a good 10 really was.When Maya was born, Yasmeen had a hard time 11 . She wasjealous(妒忌）of the attention we all paid to her new younger sister, so I did my best to keep her company when she might have not been 12 . 0nce Yasmeen overcame her jealousy, she was able to 13 Maya's presence, like we all did. I tried to take advantage of our times together, doing my best to 14 my schedule for my two favorite people.My 15 with Yasmeen and Maya has taught me the importance of influenUal people. I know that I have helped Yasmeen and Maya 16 , but "the babies" have had an even greater influence on my own life. They have shown me how to be a parent, a sister, a child, and most importantly, a friend.Our 17 has made me a better person—a more patient person, with the ability to 18 endless questions and spilled (洒)juice; an 19 person, able to have fun and be happy with others; a role model, 20 the babies ideas about right and wrong, and a compassionate person, able to forgive and love.1.

So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paris—the travel diary of Ibn Battuta.Almost two centuries before Columbus, this young Moroccan set off for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers. Driven by curiosity, he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world，traveling through 44 modern countries, three times as far as Marco Polo. Little celebrated in the West, his name is well known among Arabs. In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are named after him.Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over. In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan—the Muslim ruler of Delhi. On the way，he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot, and two horsemen："...I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another, but God in his grace preserved me..." In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, based on his previous study at Mecca. But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave. When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed. Ibn Battuta set off in three ships, but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore. A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering (散播）treasure and drowning many people and horses. As he watched, the third ship, with all his belongings and slaves—one carrying his child—was carried out to sea and never heard from again.After a lifetime of amazing adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world. Fortunately, he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys.(1)What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the passage?A.He had great interest in the Islamic world.B.He returned to his homeland to write a book.C.His journeys were less important than Marco Polo's.D.His journeys were very common for people of that time.(2)The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because __________.A.Ibn Battuta had studied in MeccaB.Ibn Battula had been a judge beforeC.Ibn Battuta had worked as a translatorD.Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries(3)Which is the best title for the passage?A.The Learned Ibn BattutaB.A Visitor to MeccaC.The Travels of Ibn BattutaD.Desire for Adventures3.CCulture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans. But travel to Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine (烹饪）and he's likely to answer, “ McDonalds. ” Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer, or something close to it.Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous—all the same—no matter where you live. True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.So what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy products, pork beef and poultry. But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South. The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions—and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation. That's right, grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah. Tnith is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants.In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselves. Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times. (1)According to the passage, American cuisine impresses people as being _________. A.dull and changelessB.rich and variousC.popular and deliciousD.disagreeable and unpleasant(2)It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that __________.A.cuisines of other countries play a more important role in AmericaB.American cuisine has become increasingly lacking in varietyC.American cuisine tends to vary because of immigrationD.American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines(3)From the passage, we know that grits and gravy __________.A.were cooked with new materials after the Civil WarB.are gaining popularity in the south of AmericaC.were more popular over ten years agoD.are seldom served in restaurants(4)What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America?A.Concerned and cautious.B.Hopeless and doubtful.C.Positive and supportive.D.Critical and disapproving.4.DThe Enigma (谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive ：beauty is power Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs, The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of coUege students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits—the full lips，clear skin, strong shoulders—equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way, however. “Our liardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations一mostly cultural，” says C．Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thin. But is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists' answer is no；what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single，uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.(1)People's ideas about beauty __________.A.have existed since ancient timesB.can be easily describedC.have little influence on a person's successD.are based upon strict criteria(2)In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study __________.A.were rated for their appearanceB.were entered in a beauty contestC.were shown photos of a group of college studentsD.were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones(3)The underlined word “traits”in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.A.qualitiesB.measurementsC.judgmentsD.standards(4)We can learn from the passage that __________.A.the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB.the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC.the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesD.the underetanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds5.Virtual (虚拟）TeamsVirtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time. 1 This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence, or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel.Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams. 2 It is the way the team members communicate. They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. Due to more limited communication channels, the successof virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected，and how the team is managed.3 One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. That is to say, when each person's work depends significantly on what someone elseis doing at the same moment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment. 4 Another important quality is communication skills. The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals, performance standards, and communication rules. People have various assumptionson what to expect from each other. 5One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team. The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.A.Yet, there is one significant difference.B.Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team.C.A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on.D.The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently.E.Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs.F.Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meetface-to-face.G.To avoid misunderstanding, clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary.书面表达1.你的美国朋友Chris目前在北京学习汉语，他对中国传统文化非常感兴趣。

2015年北京市朝阳区高考英语一模试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________I、单选题(本大题共15小题，共45.0分)1.-Are you doing your homework？-No，I'm writing a short play．It _____ at the Christmas party．（）A.will be put onB.will put onC.puts onD.is put on【答案】A【解析】答案：A．put on，上演．根据谓语上演（"put on"）与主语它（"it"）构成逻辑上的动宾关系，因为正在写，所以上演应该是将来的动作，即一般将来被动的关系，表示短剧将被上演，选will be put on．--你在做你的家庭作业吗？--没有，我在写一部短剧，它将在圣诞节晚会上上演．熟悉每个时态的具体用法并结合具体的句子语境来判断正确答案．2.In order to keep fit，the old man makes it a rule _____ for a walk after supper every day．（）A.goingB.to goC.goD.gone【答案】B【解析】答案：B本题考查动词不定式作宾语补足语的用法．当动词不定式作动词宾语，同时带了补语时，要用it充当形式宾语，而将真正的宾语动词不定式后置，即动词+形式宾语it+宾补+不定式宾语．故选B．为了保持健康，这位老人把每天饭后散步作为一条生活规律．动词不定式是非谓语动词是一种，表示未发生的动作，用法较多．常用来作定语，主语，宾语，补语，状语等．3.---Steve，the vacation is coming soon．Have you found a summer job yet？---I suppose I can work at the boy's camp _____ I worked last summer．（）A.thatB.whereC.whichD.what【答案】B【解析】答案B．分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，"_____ I worked last summer"作名词"the boy's camp"的后置定语，先行词为"the boy's camp 指地点"，从句中不缺少主、宾、表等主要成分，缺少地点状语，应该用关系副词"where"，故选B．--史蒂夫，假期马上来了．你找到一份暑期工作了吗？--我认为可以在我去年暑期工作过的男生夏令营里工作．本题考查定语从句．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意分析成分，找出先行词和定语从句．然后分析定语从句中是否缺成分，如果缺少主宾表，要用关系代词（which、that、who、whose、whom、as），如果缺少状语，要用关系副词（where，when或why）．4.Sally was excited to meet Susan at the party last night．They _____ each other since they g raduated from Oxford University in 2010．（）A.haven't seenB.hadn't seenC.didn't seeD.don't see【答案】B【解析】答案：B根据句意可知，"她们没见过面"这一动作是发生在2010年大学毕业之后到昨晚之前这段时间里，即表示是在过去的过去发生的动作，要用过去完成时（had+done）；故选B 昨晚Sally在派对上见到Susan感到很兴奋，自从2010年在牛津大学毕业后他们就没见过面．本题考查了过去完成时的用法（had+done）．做时态题的关键是要根据句意提示，判断出动作发生的时间；由于本题指的是发生在过去某时间之前的动作；因此需要使用过去完成时．5.-We've only got this small bookcase．Will that do？-No．_____ I was looking for was something much bigger and stronger．（）A.WhatB.WhereC.ThatD.Which【答案】A【解析】答案：A．本题考查名词性从句里的主语从句，根据look for sth．可以判断出该句子是缺少宾语的，可排除作状语的B；that 在名词性从句中不充当成分和意义，可排除C；what 即可以充当主语，也可以充当宾语，Which作关系代词表示从确定选择对象中的选择一个，不符合，可排除．因此，选A．--我们只是得到这个小书柜，那行吗？--不，我想找的是更大的更牢固的．本题考查主语从句，要会分析句子的成分，并且掌握what引导主语从句表示的是一种内容，可在句中作主语、宾语或表语等．6.I will wait _____ 6：30，but then I'm going home．（）A.fromB.atC.afterD.until【答案】D【解析】答案DA项"来自，从"；B项"在…地点，场所"；C项"在…之后"；D项"直到""until 6：30"表示直到六点半，"until"用于肯定句中表示"做某事直到某时"，动词必须是延续性的．根据句子"but then I'm going home"可知，说明我会一直等到6：30，但是然后（6：30后）我就回家了．我会一直等到六点半，但是然后我就回家了．本题考查介词辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，理解每个选项介词的意思，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的介词．平时要加强介词的积累．7.Studies show that people who have a glass of wine per day do better than _____ who don't．（）A.thatB.the oneC.onesD.those【答案】D【解析】答案：D题干表示比较，后面的比较对象是那些不喝酒的人the people who don't have a glass of wine per day；为了避免重复，可以省略；要填的代词指代的是the people，复数名词；ones表示泛指．故选D．研究表明：每天喝一杯酒的人要比那些不喝酒的人表现更好．指示代词用来指定对象，即前面提到过的名词．分为this，that单数；these，those复数．8.Oh！I can feel something _____ up my leg！It must be an insect．（）A.to climbB.climbingC.climbD.climbed【答案】B【解析】答案：B本题考查感官动词和现在分词的搭配用法．feel sb/sth doing sth感到某人或某物正在干什么；题干中something与动词climb构成主动进行关系，用现在分词表示．故选B．啊！我能感到有东西向我腿上爬！肯定是只虫子．现在分词是非谓语动词的一种，用来表示主动进行的动作．学习时要把握特征，同时要区分过去分词，过去分词表示被动完成的动作．9.She doesn't speak our language，_____ she seems to understand what we say．（）A.forB.andC.yetD.or【答案】C【解析】答案：C．A项"为，为了；因为"；B项"和"；D项"或者；否则"；根据句意及两个分句之间的转折关系可知，虽然她不会说我们的语言，然而她好像能听懂我们说的话，因此用"yet 然而，但是"．她不会说我们的语言，然而她好像能听懂我们说的话．本题考查连词的辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，理解每个选项中连词的意思，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的连词．平时要加强连词的积累．10.---Congratulations！I hear you've won the first prize in the singing competition．---You _____ be mistaken．I'm in the dance class．（）A.mustB.mayC.shouldD.could【答案】A【解析】答案：A题干中前面说的是the singing competition歌唱比赛，后面说的是the dance class舞蹈班；be mistaken搞错了，可以知道句意表达的是肯定推测．故选A．-恭喜！我听说你在歌唱比赛中获得了一等奖．-你一定搞错了，我上的是舞蹈班．情态动词的用法是英语中常考的语言点．通常考查的方式有虚拟和推测，本题考查的是情态动词的推测用法，must一定是．11.If it _____ earlier，the printing machine would not have broken down．（）A.has been repairedB.is repairedC.had been repairedD.was repaired【答案】C【解析】答案：C题干中the printing machine would not have broken down是表示对过去情况的虚拟；对过去情况的虚拟，从句用过去完成时，主句用情态动词加现在完成时态；repair与it之间是被动关系．故选C．如果早点修，印刷机就不会坏了．虚拟语气是常考的知识点．表示对现在或将来的虚拟，条件句中用一般过去时态，主句用情态动词加动词原形；对过去的虚拟，条件句中用过去完成时态，主句用情态动词加现在完成时态．12.A public health campaign _____ the number of heart disease deaths by 80percent over the past three decades．（）A.had reducedB.had been reducedC.has reducedD.has been reduced【答案】C【解析】答案：C题干中over the past three decades在过去的三十年，表达从过去到现在的时间，是现在完成时态的时间状语，要用现在完成时态；reduce减少，后面接了宾语，要用主动．故选C．经过了过去的三十年，一场公众健康运动使心脏病死亡病例减少了百分之八十．现在完成时态是常用的基本时态之一．通常表达：从过去到现在的持续动作；过去的动作对现在的影响或结果．本题考查的是完成时态表示结果的用法．13.-How are you getting along with your German，Kate？-Oh，Mr．Black，I'm so tired of it．Maybe I should drop out _____ it kills me．（）A.when B.after C.while D.before【答案】D【解析】答案：D题干中从句it kills me它烦死我了，与主句Maybe I should drop out我可能该退学，构成"在…之前"的时间关系，故选D．-凯特，你的德语学得怎么样了？-哦，布莱克老师，我对它感觉很厌烦．在它烦死我之前，我可能该退学．本题考查时间状语从句，when当…时候；after在…之后；while当…时候；before在…之前．14.-What do you do，Rita？-I'm a clerk in a foreign company now．But I _____ English in a high school for 10 years．（）A.teachB.have taughtC.taughtD.am teaching【答案】C【解析】答案：C根据句意可知，空缺处指的应是她以前的工作，现在已经不再做了，也就是说此处表示现在已经结束的动作．故用一般过去时；B．have taught 现在完成时，表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在并且还将持续下去的动作；用在此处不合句意；故选C---Rita，你是做什么工作的？---我现在是一家外企的职员，但我曾在一所中学教过10年的英语．本题考查了一般过去时的用法．做本题时，首先应熟练掌握一般过去时的意义及用法；其次要注意总结一般过去时与现在完成时的区别．parison may make something appear more beautiful than it is when _____ alone．（）A.seenB.seeingC.seeD.to see【答案】A【解析】答案：A根据句意可知，"when _____ alone"在句中做时间状语，动词see与它的逻辑主语something构成被动的关系，此处的意思是：当某样东西被单独看时；B．C．D．都不表示被动意义，因此应选动词的过去分词形式，故选A比较可以使某样东西比单独看时更漂亮．本题考查了动词的过去分词的用法．做本题的关键是通过句意判断出动词与它的逻辑主语构成的是被动关系，在句中作状语．II、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共3.0分)Appeal to

diary of Ibn Battuta．Almost two centuries before Columbus，this young Moroccan set off for Mecca，returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers．Driven by curiosity，he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world，traveling through 44modern countries，three times as far as Marco Polo．Little celebrated in the West，his name is well known among Arabs．In his hometown of Tangier，a square，a hotel，a cafe，a ferry boat，and even a hamburger are named after him．Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years，but the urge to travel soon took over．In one adventure，he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan-the Muslim ruler of Delhi．On the way，he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80men on foot，and two horsemen："…I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another，but God in his grace preserved me…"In Delhi，the sultan gave him the position of judge，based on his previous study at Mecca．But the sultan had an unpredictable character，and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave．When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China，he agreed．Ibn Battuta set off in three ships，but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore．A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships，scattering （散播）treasure and drowning many people and horses．As he watched，the third ship，with all his belongings and slaves-one carrying his child-was carried out to sea and never heard from again．After a lifetime of amazing adventures，Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world．Fortunately，he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages，allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys．40.What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the passage？______A.He had great interest in the Islamic world．B.He returned to his homeland to write a book．C.His journeys were less important than Marco Polo's．D.His

world．"可知伊本•白图泰的旅行是出于对伊斯兰世界的好奇，他对伊斯兰世界有极大兴趣，故答案选A．42．答案A 细节理解题根据第三段中"the sultan gave him the position of judge，based on his previous study at Mecca"可知国王赐予伊本•白图泰法官的职务是因为伊本•白图泰在麦加的求学经历．故答案选A．43．答案C 主旨大意题本文主要介绍了伊本•白图泰的旅行经历并赞美了伊本•白图泰举世无双的成就，所以最合适的题目应为The Travels of Ibn Battuta．本文介绍了旅行家伊本•白图泰，以及他在游历过程中的一些经历．最后在摩洛哥苏丹王的要求下，伊本•白图泰将自己的游历写成一本书，向世人介绍他那无与伦比的旅行经历．做阅读题时，首先需要通读全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次，快速浏览后面的题目，并结合问题到文中相应的段落去寻找答案；另外，在平时的阅读训练中，要学会找文章的中心段，或段落的中心句，并加以概括，从而提炼出文章或段落的主旨大意CCulture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans．But travel to Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine （烹饪）and he's likely to answer，"McDonalds．"Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer，or something close to it．Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine，but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food，the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous-all the same-no matter where you live．True，many Americans are eating more varied foods these days，but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups，and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine．So what exactly is American cuisine？Well，to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture，meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat，dairy products，pork，beef and poultry．But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World，including potatoes，corn，pumpkin，sweet potatoes，and peanuts．The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South．The South lost the Civil War，but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions-and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American，which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation．That's right，grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah．Truth is，they never really left，but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants．In fact，a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselves．Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that，say，Italian cuisine has，but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times．43.According to the passage，American cuisine impresses people as being ______ ．A.dull and changelessB.rich and variousC.popular and deliciousD.disagreeable and unpleasant44.It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that ______ ．A.cuisines of other countries play a more important role in AmericaB.American cuisine has become increasingly lacking in varietyC.American cuisine tends to vary because of immigrationD.American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines45.From the passage，we know that grits and gravy ______ ．A.were cooked with new materials after the Civil WarB.are gaining popularity in the south of AmericaC.were more popular over ten years agoD.are seldom served in restaurants46.What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America？______A.Concerned and cautious．B.Hopeless and doubtful．C.Positive and supportive．D.Critical and disapproving．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】43．A 推理判断题．由第一段的内容"American cuisine （烹饪） and he's likely to answer，"McDonalds．"Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm a fraid you'd get the same answer，or something close to it"可知，当询问法国人对美国烹饪的印象时，他们的回答是"麦当劳"，在美国街头询问任何一个美国人时，也会得到相同或者近似的答案，由此可推知，美国烹饪给人的印象是乏味的，一成不变的，故选A．44．B 推理判断题．由第二段中的"the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous-all the same-no matter where you live"可知，美国烹饪变得越来越一成不变这一事实让作者感到伤心、遗憾，故选B．45．B 推理判断题．由第四段中的"grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah．"可知，粗燕麦粉和肉汁在像查尔斯顿、萨凡纳这样的大城市中复兴起来，即粗燕麦粉和肉汁在美国南部受到欢迎，故选B．46．C 推理判断题．由最后一段的最后一句"Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that，say，Italian cuisine has，but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed pop ularity in these increasingly homogeneous times"可知，时间将会证明"Low Country cuisine"是否能在其他地区受到欢迎，看到真正的文化珍宝又重新受欢迎令人感到很奇妙的同时也很鼓舞人心，由此可知，作者对美国"Low Country cuisine"的复活持支持、乐观的态度，故选C．本文是一片说明文，主要介绍了关于美国饮食的变化历程．人们对美国烹饪的印象是以麦当劳为标志的类似烹饪类型，美国烹饪的印象是乏味的、不变的．作者感到悲哀的原因是美国烹饪变得越发雷同，缺少多样性．粗燕麦粉和肉汁在美国南部受到欢迎，时间将会证明"Low Country cuisine"是否能在其他地区受到欢迎，看到真正的文化珍宝又重新受欢迎令人感到很奇妙的同时也很鼓舞人心．解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．DThe Enigma（谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents．Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4，000years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup．In18th-century France，wealthy noblemen wore large wigs （假发）of long，white hair to make themselves attractive．Today，people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance．There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive：beauty is power．Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money，get called on more often in class，and。
