题目内容
【题目】—Waiter! I'd like some beef and a vegetable salad.
—Sorry, madam. They ________ only for lunch. Why not consider ________ something else?
A.served; to orderB.served; orderingC.are served; orderingD.are served; to order
【答案】C
【解析】
句意：——服务员！我想要些牛肉和一份蔬菜沙拉。——对不起，女士。它们只有在午餐时才有提供。为什么不考虑点别的呢？
根据语境，they指代前面提到的牛肉和蔬菜沙拉，与动词serve之间是被动关系，因此第一个空应用被动语态形式，构成是“be+过去分词”，排除A和B；第二个空考查固定用法“consider doing sth.”，意为“考虑做某事”，缺少动名词。故选C。
考前必练系列答案【题目】 As the days get hotter, we can stay inside and turn on the air conditioning to stay comfortable. But do you know that in ancient China, people used a different kind of "air conditioning"?
Starting from the Qin Dynasty, royal and rich families began to store ice during winter. As summer began, they used ice to cool their homes. People would put a container with many ice cubes inside of it in their rooms. Servants would fan the containers to create cool air.
But common people couldn't store ice. So they spent hot days near wells. Some people would keep their food in empty wells. The wells would keep the food cool and fresh, just like a refrigerator.
Chinese people also made their own summer drinks, such as well water and drinks made from herbs(草药). It is said that Kublai Khan—emperor of the Yuan Dynasty—liked drinking milk with ice an(sweet candy. Some people believe that it was the world's first ice cream.
