(15)Unit 3 Food and Culture——2021-2022学年高二英语人教
版(2019)寒假作业
第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Chinese food is considered to be the biggest cultural exchange between China and other countries. The following dishes are special each in their own way.
Peking Duck
This famous dish can be found at restaurants all around Beijing. High-class restaurants take this dish so seriously that some even have their own duck farms and use only a special kind of duck for their specific Peking Duck dish. Peking Duck is famous for its thin skin and delicious meat, which is highly popular among all foreigners, including foreign celebrities and leaders.
Wonton
Wonton, called "Huntun" in Chinese, is a highly appreciated dish in China. Since China is a country of many nationalities and different cultures, each region has their own shapes for wontons. Wontons are usually boiled and served in soup, but they can also be deep-fried.
Dumplings
During the Spring Festival, Chinese families will get together and have dumpling parties. It is said that the dish was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, one of the finest Chinese physicians in history. Dumplings have a 1,800-year-long history, which is why it is one of the most popular traditional foods in China and extremely popular in Western countries. They may be cooked by boiling, steaming, simmering, frying or baking.
Egg-fried Rice
Firstly from China's ancient western regions, egg-fried rice has now become part of Chinese people's daily food. It is famous for its pleasant smell, soft taste and handsome appearance, and one can easily find this popular dish anywhere in China, from high-class hotels to family-run restaurants on the street. While it is fairly easy to make, there are some points that should be kept in mind: use left-over rice rather than newly cooked rice for better taste. Additionally, before frying, the rice should be churned up.
1. Which of the following may have its own farm?
A. Restaurants serving wontons.
B. Restaurants serving Peking Duck.
C. Restaurants serving dumplings.
D. Restaurants serving egg-fried rice.
2. What makes dumplings so popular in China and Western countries?
A. The long history.
B. The different shapes.
C. The special taste.
D. The unique style of cooking.
3. What can we learn about egg-fried rice?
A. It tastes better if cooked with newly made rice.
B. It first appeared in the northern part of China.
C. It is served in restaurants of different classes.
D. It was invented by an ancient Chinese physician.
B
Food poems, like love poems, have the potential to be vague and sad. The New York Times' description of a book of food poetry refers to Winston Churchill's supposed declaration, "Take away this pudding. It has no theme." This, of course, is a sad comment on food. Yes, eating can be mere gluttony(暴饮暴食) at times—we've all had late-night chocolate or thoroughly enjoyed McDonald's breakfast hash browns(土豆煎饼). In fact, writers like Daniel Orozco paint poetic pictures of sorts of foods, the thrill and shame of junk food.
Food poetry can be unbelievably described, inspiring feelings of pleasure and homesickness in the same way as eating does. It can also be straightforward or playful—just like food itself. Shell Silverstein's Italian Food starts off with "Oh, how I love Italian food/I eat it all the time/Not just 'cause how good it tastes/But 'cause how good it rhymes," and continues in rhyming couplets (对句) for the remainder of the poem.
Other food poems—certainly the best ones—have layers of complexity that are slowly revealed like eating a perfectly assembled sandwich or drinking skillfully mixed drink. Henrick Ibsen's Tea—A Comparison From Love's Comedy begins with a pleasant garden gathering but quickly delves into(探究) the scenery and politics of Eastern nations, from which the tea was imported. Still other food poems are simple collections of the poet's most beloved meal, like Carlos Williams' loyalty to caviar(鱼子酱), For Viola: De Gustibus. He writes, "Beloved you are/Caviar of Caviar/Of all I love you best/O my Japanese bird nest/" Similarly, Jonathan Swift
declares his love for mutton in the emotional cooking poem: How I Shall Dine.
Kevin Young, the editor of The Hungry Ear, a collection of food poetry published last year, explains poets' love for food, "One of the things I think poets enjoy about a great meal is that it goes away... that you make a terrific meal for friends and family, and if you succeed, it's gone."
1. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Winston Churchill doesn't like puddings.
B. Food poems and love poems are the same.
C. Eating is a bad subject in terms of poetry.
D. Many people like junk food despite its harm.
2. Why does the author refer to Shell Silverstein's poem?
A. To suggest that Shell Silverstein is the best poet.
B. To prove that food poems have some complexity.
C. To show that food poetry can be straightforward or playful.
D. To show how Shell Silverstein likes Italian food.
3. Henrick Ibsen's poem in the third paragraph is one that ________.
A. slowly reveals some complexity
B. introduces where tea was imported
C. was referred to as the best food poem
D. talks about a pleasant garden gathering
4. Who writes about his favorite food?
A. Henrick Ibsen.
B. Carlos Williams.
C. Kevin Young.
D. Shell Silverstein.
C
Beijing is no stranger to Western food. American restaurants like McDonald's and KFC have brought more Western dishes to the local food scene in recent years. Now, two new restaurants have joined them.
In August, Taco Bell and Shake Shack opened their doors to eager customers in Beijing. Taco Bell is a popular American fast food restaurant that features Mexican food. Hard and soft-shell tacos are a staple (招牌) of the menu; they are generally served with beef, lettuce and tomato. And of course there are burritos—chicken, beef or beans wrapped in a tortilla(墨西哥薄馅饼). However, there are new menu items that are special to the Beijing location, such as the Yang Berry Freeze and Avocado Oolong Tea.
Shake Shack, known for its traditional American-style hamburgers and milkshakes, is also serving up dishes that won't be found in branches outside of the capital. Harry Wang, who studied in the US, visited the restaurant soon after it opened. "The last time I had Shake Shack
was more than a year ago when I was in the United States," Wang said. "The food is pretty similar to what we had in the United States, but there is a milkshake exclusive to Beijing."
The milkshake Wang referred to is the Hutong Hawthorn. The shake mixes hawthorn, a traditional Chinese snack, into a milkshake, a common ice cream drink in Western fast food. The Beijing Shake Shack also offers roasted chestnut ice cream.
Both restaurants also reflect elements of Chinese culture in their decorations. Shake Shack's windows feature cartoons showing hutong life, and Taco Bell has a picture of a palace from the Temple of Heaven on one of its walls.
From the design to the menus, the two restaurants are "adding a touch of local flavor", noted China News.
1. Why are McDonald's and KFC mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To show the popularity of Western food in Beijing.
B. To lead up to the topic of new Western restaurants in Beijing.
C. To compare the differences between McDonald's and KFC.
D. To express the author's personal love for Western food.
2. What can we know about Taco Bell?
A. It is a traditional Mexican restaurant.
B. It has the same menu around the world.
C. It is a popular Mexican food restaurant in China.
D. It is a fast food restaurant serving Mexican food.
3. What does the underlined word "exclusive" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Special.
B. Ordinary.
C. Important.
D. Acceptable.
4. What does the article tell us about Taco Bell and Shake Shack?
A. They try to keep the original characteristics in all locations.
B. They will probably have more customers than KF
C.
C. They make changes to the menu for Chinese people's tastes.
D. They like to work together with Chinese restaurants.
D
The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can't be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation(剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.
"If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It's very short-lived," said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology (生物钟学) lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "These health effects are long-term. It's kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep loss is in the early stage of where smoking used to be."
Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place—cutting out the "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even though people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.
1. What do the researchers find about weekend recovery sleep?
A. It is common among people.
B. It will make people healthier.
C. It can make people put on weight.
D. It's able to make up for the sleep loss.
2. What does the underlined word "crushes" mean?
A. Arouses.
B. Guarantees.
C. Deepens.
D. Ruins.
3. What will Kenneth Wright agree with?
A. It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.
B. Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.
C. Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.
D. Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.
4. What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?
A. Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.
B. Watch some TV shows before bedtime.
C. Reduce the screen time before sleep.
D. Take regular exercise every day.

续写的词数应为150左右。
Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store (杂货店),Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace which was priced at $ 2.50. How she wanted that necklace, and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I'll tell you what. I'll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of chores that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don't forget that for your birthday, Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?" Jenny agreed happily, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.
Jenny worked on her chores very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls! She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and even when she went out with her mother to run errands.
The only time she didn't wear them was in the shower, because her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story.
One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, "Hey, sweetie, do you love me?"
"Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you," the little girl said with a warm smile.
"Well, then, give me your pearls."
"Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!" Jenny refused. "But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay?"
"Oh no, darling, that's okay." Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night, little one." Paragraph 1:

根据第四段中Dumplings have a 1,800-year-long history, which is why it is one of the most popular traditional foods in China and extremely popular in Western countries.可知, 因为其悠久的历史, 饺子在中国和西方国家很受欢迎。

解析:1.推理判断题。
根据第一段最后两句可推知,虽然垃圾食品对健康有害,但是很多人喜欢垃圾食品。
故选D。
干扰项分析:"supposed declaration"指被误信的声明,故A项不对。
2.推理判断题。
作者举这个例子是为了说明前面一句话。
故选C。
3.推理判断题。
根据第三段第一句"Other food poems—certainly the best ones—have layers of complexity that are slowly revealed..."可知,本段介绍的是慢慢表现出复杂性的诗歌。
Henrick Ibsen的例子是为了说明这一点。
故选A。
4.细节理解题。
根据第三段第三句可知,Carlos Williams的诗歌涉及他最喜欢的食物。
故选B。
C
答案:1-4.BDAC
解析:1.推理判断题。
结合第一段内容"Beijing is no stranger to Western food. American restaurants like McDonald's and KFC have brought more Western dishes to the local food scene in recent years. Now, two new restaurants have joined them."可知,本段提到麦当劳和肯德基,是为了引人话题,说明两家新的西餐厅进入了北京当地的餐饮市场。
2.细节理解题。
结合题干关键词Taco Bell定位到文章第二段第二句"Taco Bell is a popular
American fast food restaurant that features Mexican food."可知,Taco Bell是一家很受欢迎的美国快餐店,以墨西哥菜为特色。
3.词义猜测题。
根据画线词前的The food is pretty similar to what we had in the United States 可知,Shake Shack北京餐厅里的食物和美国的很像,转折连词but表明二者还是有区别的,说明北京餐厅里的食物有自己的独特之处,由此可知画线词意为"特别的",和special同义。
4.推理判断题。
根据第二段中的"However, there are new menu items that are special to the Beijing location, such as the Yang Berry Freeze and Avocado Oolong Tea.(不过,有一些新的菜单单品是北京店特有的,比如杨梅冰激凌和鳄梨乌龙茶)"和第三段最后一句"The food is pretty similar to what we had in the United States, but there is a milkshake exclusive to Beijing.(这里的食物和我们在美国吃的很相似,但有一款北京独有的奶昔)"可知,Taco Bell和Shake Shack在北京的店铺为了适应中国人的口味,均在菜品上做了改变。
D
答案:1-4.CDAC
解析:1.细节理解题。
根据第三段第二句"Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term."可知,工作日睡眠少(周末补觉)的人,体重可能会增加。
2.词义猜测题。
理解此词的关键在于明白those hopes指代的是第二段中的"...they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects."。
根据本句可知,人们寄希望于通过周末补觉来弥补工作日缺失的睡眠,然而这项研究却"打破"了人们的这种愿望。
由此推测此词意为"摧毁,打破"。
3.细节理解题。
根据倒数第二段中的"These health effects are long-term. It's kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep loss is in the early stage of where smoking used to be."可知,Kenneth Wright认为,人们对于睡眠缺失的了解现阶段还不深,就像是吸烟一样,得过上一段时间之后人们才会看到它的坏处。
4.细节理解题。
根据最后一段中的people should put sleep in the first place—cutting out the "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones可知,他建议人们缩减看电视或玩手机的时间来保证睡眠。
第二节
答案:EGCDB
解析:本文是一篇议论文,讨论了家长与教师的关系。
①根据下文中提到的三个数据"95% of teachers","Only 12%"以及"77%of new teachers"可推测出这些数据应该是来自一项调查,故E项正确。
②本段谈到由于微信和电子邮件加速了信息流动,各种各样的个人观点和争执悄悄出现在家长会上,这导致家长和教师之间的关系变得紧张,由此使得双方更难研究共同的目标。
故选G。
③本段讲到每个人都认为家长会应该是愉快的、礼貌的、合作的对话,在会上家长和老师建立合作关系,故空处应继续描述这种关系,由上文可知,家长和教师之间的关系比较紧张,结合选项可知,C项正确。
④根据空后的"They mean what happens at home matters much more"的提示可知,他们的意思是学生在家的情况更重要,结合选项和语境可知,此处的They指的是Teachers,故D项"老师的意思不是说家长应该待在教室里"符合语境。
⑤空前的"home discussion, home supervision(监督), school communication, and school participation"以及空后的"Smart parents may have more discussion with their children at home"都提到了家庭讨论,由此推知空处也是在讲家庭讨论的重要性,故选B。

第二节
答案:that; cages; to get; smaller; are conditioned; so; believed; hanging; simply; Failure
解析:本文是一篇记叙文。
一个人因为大象的事情而感到困惑,他去请教驯兽师,被告知大象因为自己认为自己不能逃脱而习惯于被束缚。
①考查同位语从句。
设空处引导同位语从句,解释说明fact的具体内容,that不作句子成分,不可以省略。
②考查名词复数。
句意:没有链子,(也)没有笼子。
根据前面的chains和设空处前无冠词可知此处用复数。
③考查非谓语动词。
句意:他看到附近的一位驯兽师,就问为什么这些大象只是站在那里,不试着逃脱。
make no attempt to do sth.不尝试做某事。
④考查形容词的比较级。
此处表示与现在相比"更小"的时候,且前有much修饰,故用形容词的比较级。
⑤考查固定用法。
句意:随着它们长大,它们已经习惯了相信它们不能逃脱。
be conditioned to do sth.习惯于做某事。
⑥考查连词。
设空处前后为因果关系,所以用so。
⑦考查动词的时态。
根据前边的could和空后宾语从句的时态可知用一般过去时。
⑧考查非谓语动词。
hang和其逻辑主语之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词短语作状语。
⑨考查副词。
此处应用副词作状语。
⑩考查名词。
句意:失败是学习的一部分。
此处为名词作主语。

Li Hua 第二节
答案:
Paragraph 1:
A week later, Jenny's father once again asked Jenny the same question after her story, "Do you love me?" Jenny gave a definite answer to this question without hesitation. But when the conversation came to whether she could give her pearls to her father, she refused a second time. Paragraph 2:
Another week later, when her father came in to read her a story as usual, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. "Here, Daddy," she said, and held out her hand. Inside of her hand was her beloved plastic pearl necklace. She let it slip into her father's hand. At this time, her
father pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet box, and some real, genuine, beautiful pearls were just inside. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing. Sometimes, life is just like this: Give up one thing and get another chance to receive a better thing.。
