Question

   The food we eat depends on (取决于) where we live,or which part of our country we live in. For example,in the south of China,they eat rice,but in the north of China,they eat noodles. In central Europe,people don't eat so much fish; they eat meat and sausages. In Australia,Germany,and Poland (波 兰) there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.

   In North America,Australia,and Europe there are two or more courses for every meal and people eat with knives and forks. In China there is only one course,all the food is together on the table,and they eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East,people use their fingers to pick up the food.

   Nowadays it is convenient to transport food from one part of the world to the other. We can eat what we like at any time of a year. Bananas come from the Caribbean or Africa;rice comes from India or the US;strawberries (草莓) come from Chile or Spain.

Answer 1

  导读本文是一篇说明文，讲述了饮食习惯在不同地方的差 异。不同国家的人吃的食物不尽相同，甚至同一个国家不同 地区的人的饮食习惯也不完全一样，比如在中国，北方人喜 欢吃面条，南方人喜欢吃米饭等。

详析

1. noodles;rice 由第一段中的“For example,in the south of China,they eat rice,but in the north of China,they eat noodles. ”可知，在中国，南方人吃米饭，北方人吃面条。 由此可知第一空填noodles,第二空填rice。

2. their fingers 由第二段最后一句“ In parts of India and the Middle East,people use their fingers to pick up the food. ”

可知，在印度和中东，人们用手抓食物吃。由此可知答案 为 their fingers。

3. They eat meat and sausages. 由第一段中的“In central Europe,people don't eat so much fish,they eat meat and sausages”可知答案。

4. 如今，把食物从世界上的一个地方运到另一个地方很方便。本句考查“It is + 办+ to do sth. ”这一句型结构。 其中convenient意为“方便的，便利的”；transport意为“运送，运输"。

5. Ifs about how people eat. 题干问第二段的段落大意，通读第二段可知，该段讲的是“人们如何吃东西”。
