People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus(章鱼)a great delicacy(美味佳肴). You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat—the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are looked down upon As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a walk on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To my surprise, we saw that there were snails everywhere, they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall. I have never been able to look at a snail since then. [br] The best title of this passage might be "_____".
选项
A、One Man’s Meat is Another Man’s Poison
B、Foods and Cultures
C、Snail and Octopus
D、People Are Illogical in Front of Delicacies
答案
A
解析
文章第1句话其实是全文的主题句,暗示了人们在饮食方面有相差悬殊的不同喜好,接着用了数个具体例子说明,并着重以蜗牛为例,阐明这种差异。英语习语"One man’s meat is another man’s poison"形象地表达了这一观点。本题最具干扰性的是B,文章在第1段谈到饮食有差异,这涉及到了culture,但作者并没花太多笔墨描述各国不同的文化,因此,culture并非本文的中心。另外,D的表达与文章第1句很相似,但是D说的是人们美食当前会丧失理智,与第1句的意思其实相差甚远,且并非文章要阐明的主题。
