共用题干New Foods and the New World
In the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.“Some”in“some still exist today”(Para. 1)means______.A:some cocoa treesB: some chocolate drinksC: some shopsD: some South American Indians
选项
“Some”in“some still exist today”(Para. 1)means______.
A:some cocoa trees
B: some chocolate drinks
C: some shops
D: some South American Indians
答案
C
解析
细节题。第一段第一句: In the last 500 years , nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas , or languages—has changed as much as what they eat.(在过去的500年中,没有任何关于人类的东西,如他们的衣服,观点或语言,会像他们吃的食物变化那么大)同时使用比较级和否定词表示最高级,意思恰恰就是A选项的内容。
细节题。从第一段最后两句话:London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.(在伦敦,供应巧克力饮料的店铺成为了重要的聚会地点。直到今天还存在一些这样的店铺)可以推断这里的some指的就是London shops。
细节题。第二段第三句:Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “ Potato Famine ” of 1845~1846.(爱尔兰人非常依赖土豆,在1845年到1846年期间的土豆饥荒中成千上万的爱尔兰人由于土豆欠收而挨俄)。强调the crop failed , the crop即potato。 A项没有说明土豆欠收这个关键事实;B项是starve导致的结果,并非原因;C项文章并未提及。
细节题。根据第三段倒数第二句:But it is native(本土的、当地的)to Ethiopia.句中it即指coffee,意思是咖啡最早产自埃塞俄比亚。A、B项和But it is native to Ethiopia矛盾;根据第三段最后一句:Arabs最早将咖啡制作为饮品。可以推断D是错误的。
推断题。第三段最后一句:It ( coffee ) was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.最后一段讲述这个阿拉伯传说就是为了证明阿位伯人首先发明了咖啡这种饮品,即D选项的内容。
