Question

【題目】 Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (農(nóng)村的) and urban areas within one country.

Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion (時(shí)刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (興旺) in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake，which signifies (預(yù)示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving redcolored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要講的是食物和文化的關(guān)系，不同的文化里包含著不同的飲食傳統(tǒng)和慶祝方式。食物通過兩種基本的方式在扮演著溝通的角色：分享面包或其他食物是人類共同的傳統(tǒng)，可以促進(jìn)團(tuán)結(jié)和信任；食物也可以有特定的含義，在家庭或文化的慶�；顒�(dòng)以及傳統(tǒng)中起著重要的作用。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.（分享面包或其他食物是人類共同的傳統(tǒng)，可以促進(jìn)團(tuán)結(jié)和建立信任。）”可知，分享面包可以促進(jìn)團(tuán)結(jié)。故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，尤其是最后一段中的“Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.（營(yíng)養(yǎng)是生命所必需的，所以食物是世界各地不同文化的重要組成部分也就不足為奇了。）” 可知文章主要講的是食物在文化中的重要作用。故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity in the New Year. In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake，which signifies (預(yù)示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.（在美國(guó)南部，玉米面包代表著在新的一年里象征繁榮的黃金塊。在希臘，人們分享一種叫做瓦西里皮塔的特殊蛋糕。蛋糕里放一枚硬幣，這意味著收到硬幣的人在新的一年里會(huì)取得成功。）”，由此判斷出作者主要使用了舉例的方法來(lái)解釋食物在慶祝活動(dòng)中的角色。故選B項(xiàng)。

本篇題目的設(shè)置主要考查考生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的理解能力和對(duì)文章大意的把握，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題，需要快速?gòu)奈恼轮姓业接杏玫男畔�。如�?/span>1小題，由問題中的關(guān)鍵詞“sharing bread”可定位至第一段中的“Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.”�？芍�，分享面包可以促進(jìn)團(tuán)結(jié)。故選A項(xiàng)。
