Our real American foods have come from our soil and have been used by many groups—those who already lived here and those who have come here to live. The Native Americans already had developed an interesting cuisine using the abundant foods that were so prevalent.
The influence that the English had upon our national eating habits is easy to sec. They were a tough lot, those English, and they ate in a tough manner. They wiped their mouths on the tablecloth, if there happened to be one, and they ate until you would expect them to burst. European travelers to this country in those days were most often shocked by American eating habits, which included too much fat and too much salt and too much liquor. Not much has changed! And, the Revolutionists refused to use the fork since it marked them as Europeans. The fork was not absolutely common on the American dinner table until about the time of the Civil War, the 1860s. Those English were a tough lot.
Other immigrant groups added their own touches to the preparation of our New World food products. The groups that came still have a special sense of self-identity through their ancestral heritage, but they see themselves as Americans. This special self-identity through your ancestors who came from other lands was supposed to disappear in this country. The term melting pot was first used in reference to America in the late 1700s, so this belief that we would all become the same has been with us for a long time. Thank goodness it has never worked. The various immigrant groups continue to add flavor to the pot, all right, but you can pick out the individual flavors easily.
The largest ancestry group in America is the English. There are more people in America who claim to have come from English blood than there are in England. But is their food English? Thanks be to God, it is not! The second largest group is the Germans, then the Irish, the Afro-Americans, the French, the Italians, the Scottish, and the Polish. The Mexican and American Indian groups are all smaller than any of the above, though they were the original cooks in this country.
选项
A、You bet they would never stop to eat till they are full.
B、What you can expect is that they would not stop eating unless there was no more food,
C、The only thing you would expect is that they wouldn’t stop eating till they had had enough of the food.
D、The only thing is that they wouldn’t stop eating till they felt sick.
答案
D
解析
由题干中的they ate until you would expect them to burst定位到原文第二段第三句They wiped their mouths on the tablecloth, if there happened to be one, and they ate until you would expect them to burst.[精析] 语义理解题[考频:37]。首先要审题,题干中有一个词的意思特别关键,identical“相同的”。从原文可知本句意思为“他们一直吃直到你认为他们的肚皮快要炸开为止”,对这句话的理解可以借助于它的前一句,即“英国人吃饭很粗鲁”,这说明这里要表达的意思是D)。[避错] “他们吃饭并不是仅仅满足于‘吃饱’”,文中并役有提及该内容,排除A);“他们一直吃直到食物全都被吃光”,文中只是说他们一直吃直到肚皮快要爆裂为止,并没有提到食物是否吃光的问题,排除B);“他们吃了足够多的食物才会停止不吃”,文中没有提到他们吃到什么程度才会停止不吃,故排除C)。
