题目内容
8."There is no love which is more sincere than the love of food,"said Anglo-Irish writer George Bernard Shaw.Like Bernard Shaw,many writers (86)eenjoy food very much,and they say and write interesting things about it.British poet Owen Meredith(1831-1891)learnt a lot about food when he lived in Paris.He famously said,"We may live without friends,we may live without books,but civilized(文明的)men cannot live without (87)ccooks."
American writer Mark Twain also wrote a lot about food."When you have (88)ttasted watermelon,"he wrote,"you know what angels eat."
American cookbook writer Alice May Brock has some simple rules about food from different(89)ccountries."If you want to cook international food,it's easy,"she wrote."Put tomatoes on the plate and it's Italian.Use soy sauce and it's Chinese.(90)AAdd wine to the recipe(食谱.and it's French.Sour cream makes it Russian and lemon makes it Greek.But garlic makes it good!Cheers!"
Tea and coffee are even more (91)iimportant for some people.There is a Chinese saying,"It is better to go without food for three days,than tea for one."
American President Abraham Lincoln was often rude about the tea and coffee which was served to him.For example,he was in a Washington restaurant one day,and when the main meal was over,a cup of hot (92)lliquid was placed in front of him.He drank a bit and was clearly angry."Waiter,"he said,"if this is coffee,please bring me some tea; and if this is tea,please bring me some coffee."
分析 本文讲述了不同人士,特别是一些名人对各种美食的偏好和他们的口味.
文章首先引用一些著名作家的论述以及一些谚语,说明人们对某些美食的热爱.接着说了各国美食的特点、特色.最后说的是人们对饮料的偏好,并以林肯为例,讲述了他的一则趣事.
解答 86.enjoy.考查一般现在时.根据上文,特别是"the love of food"(对食物的喜爱),确定选填enjoy.enjoy 为动词,意思是"喜欢".enjoy food very much非常喜欢美食.句子陈述的事实,故用一般现在时.主语 writers 为复数,动词用原形.故填enjoy.
87.cooks.考查名词.从语法看,介词without后面要跟名词等可以充当宾语的词.根据上文,特别是"about food"(关于食物),确定填cooks.cook作为动词,意思是"烹调,做饭";作为名词,意思是"厨师",它是可数名词,要用其复数形式cooks表示"厨师"这种人(职业).without cooks 没有厨师.(试区别cooker,名词"厨具)故填cooks.
88.tasted.根据英语提示,特别是"watermelon"(西瓜),确定选用taste的某种形式.taste作为动词时,意思是"品尝".taste watermelon品尝西瓜(watermelon即可数也不可数).根据提示,时态为现在完成时,动词taste需要变为过去分词tasted.故填tasted.
89.countries.考查名词.根据下文"If you want to cook international food",特别是"international food"(全世界的美食),确定填countries.food from different countries来自不同国家的美食.事实上,food from different countries=international food.故填countries.
90.Add,考查"祈使句+and+主句"句型.分析前面两个句型,都是"祈使句(表条件)+and+主句(表结果)"这种句式,本句也是这种句型.根据英语提示,特别是介词"to",确定填Add.add为动词,意思是"加";add to把某物加到某物中;add wine to the recipe把葡萄酒添加在食谱中.该词在句首,要大写.故填Add.
91.important.考查形容词比较级.根据下文"It is better to go without food for three days,than tea for one"所说,"宁可三天不吃饭,不可一日无茶,"说明了饮料的重要性.故填important.even more important更加重要.其中的more为副词much的比较级,它修饰形容词important.,同时它又被副词even所修饰,以加强语气.more important为important的比较级.故填important.
92.liquid.考查名词.根据下文所说,因为林肯"不清楚"这种东西到底是"coffee"(咖啡)还是"tea"(茶),所以在这里管它叫液体(liquid),故填liquid.
