Question

【题目】Where is the true home of hamburger?

The kind of beef we see in hamburgers , minced(切碎)beef, was possibly invented by Mongolians over 800 years ago. But who first put the beef between pieces of bread and called it a hamburger? Three different cities in the United States all say that they were the first to invent America’s favorite food.

Some people say that Fletcher Davis, from Athens, invented hamburgers. “Old Dave,” as people called him, was selling minced beef sandwiches in his lunch bar as early as the 1880s. Some years later, they say that a group of Germans called①his sandwich a “hamburger” because people from the German city of Hamburger ate this kind of beef.

Other people believe that the hamburger came from a different American city.②coincidentally, its name was also Hamburg. The Menches brothers were selling pork sandwiches at a fair in 1885, but when there was no more pork, they used minced beef and gave it a new name, the “hamburger”.

The third possible inventor of the hamburger was Charlie Nagreen, also known as “Hamburger Charlie,” from Seymour. He said that in 1885 he invented the world’s first hamburgers. Seymour now celebrates the invention of the hamburger every year. In 1989, it was the home of the world’s largest ever burger—over 2,500kg!

任务六【6】the true home of hamburger

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文主要向人们介绍了汉堡包的来历。

任务一【1】1.Hamburg，Seymour 句意：文中提到了3个美国城市。它们是：雅典、汉堡、西摩。根据第三段的第二句：its name was also Hamburg.（它的名字也是Hamburg）；第四段的第一句：Charlie Nagreen, also known as “Hamburger Charlie,” from Seymour.（来自西摩的查理纳格林，也以“汉堡查理“而著名）可知本题填：Hamburg，Seymour

2. pork，instead句意：当1885年的集市上没有猪肉时，Menches兄弟用切碎的牛肉代替猪肉。第四段的最后一句：when there was no more pork, they used minced beef. 根据句意可知：牛肉代替猪肉，instead意为:代替，而且可以放在句尾。

任务二【2】Fletcher Davis’句意：几年过后，他们说一群德国人把他们的三明治叫汉堡因为来自德国汉堡的人吃这种牛肉。由第二段的第一句：Some people say that Fletcher Davis, from Athens, invented hamburgers. 可以推测出本题答案为：Fletcher Davis’

任务三【3】B第三段的第二句：its name was also Hamburg. 这里的also表明：德国有个城市叫hamburger,美国也有一个城市叫hamburg. 因此可以猜出coincidentally 的中文意思是：碰巧的。故选B。

任务四【4】Every year 题意：在西摩，汉堡发明多久庆祝一次？根据短文第四段的第三句：Seymour now celebrates the invention of the hamburger every year.( 在西摩每年庆祝汉堡的发明)可知，本题回答Every year.

任务五【5】he kind of beef we see in hamburgers, minced beef, was possibly invented by Mongolians over 800 years ago. 句意：蒙古人很早就发明了切碎的牛肉。根据短文第一段的第一句：The kind of beef we see in hamburgers, minced beef, was possibly invented by Mongolians over 800 years ago.（我们看到的汉堡包里的这种牛肉，碎牛肉，可能是蒙古人800年前发明的）可以推测两句含义相近。故答：he kind of beef we see in hamburgers, minced beef, was possibly invented by Mongolians over 800 years ago.

任务六【6】the true home of hamburger 题意：主要是关于什么的？根据课文标题Where is the true home of hamburger?（汉堡真正的家在哪儿？）以及第一段的最后一句：Three different cities in the United States all say that they were the first to invent America’s favorite food（美国三个不同的城市都说他们是第一个发明美国最受欢迎食物的地方）.可以推测出本文的中心是汉堡的家。故填：the true home of hamburger。
