解答 61 a.考查冠词.根据that is too expensive for most people可知雅皮士的是方式是一种对多数人来说太奢华的风格,in a style表示"以某种风格".
62 if/when.考查引导词.根据don't be surprised 和you are offered freshly-cooked insects as a first course.可知如果(当…时)他们给你吃虫子,不要吃惊.
63 fashionable.考查派生词.根据上文可知雅皮士把吃虫子作为高贵的时尚,所以用fashionable表示"时尚的".
64 are seen.考查谓语动词.根据主语successful executives 可知谓语see用被动,表示成功的高管被看到吃虫子65 and.考查连词. logging on to exotic food websites 和ordering samples of prepared insects 是并列关系,表示雅皮士即在网上订购虫子食物,又会在饭店定虫子.
66 disgusting.考查派生词.根据主语 the idea of eating insects 和宾语 most of us可知本句表示吃虫子对于我们来说是令人作呕的.
67 few.考查代词.根据 that pigs,chickens and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great beauty.可知我们经常吃的东西也不漂亮,所以用few表示"几乎没人认为我们经常吃的东西漂亮".
68 as.考查介词.根据上句"几乎没人认为我们经常吃的东西漂亮"可知本句One day insects could be marketed and sold表示"有一天这些虫子也会在超市的菜篮里作为食品被卖".
69 high.考查对比关系.根据in protein and low in fat可知虫子是高蛋白低脂肪的.
70 that.考查引导词.根据insect-eaters will remain a few可知句子是完整的,所以用that,因为它不做句子成分,没有实义.该句表示"看起来,吃虫子的人现在仍旧是那么几个"
点评 .考查语法填空.
few 与 little 作形容词用,都表示"几乎没有",相当于一个否定词.具体区别:
(1)few 后面跟复数可数名词.e.g.few books few students
(2)little 后面跟单数不可数名词.e.g.little water little food
e.g.He has few friends.他没有几个朋友.
They has little money.他们没有什麽钱
