Question

【题目】It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, we always think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, the following foods should never be placed in the fridge.

◆ Bananas

Bananas should never be placed inside the refrigerator because they keep nutrients better outside the fridge. Bananas are better kept on the counter until they ripen. The cold temperatures actually slow down the ripening process of the bananas, while the wetness and darkness of the fridge will only lead to rotting.

◆Potatoes

Potatoes should be placed in a cool, dry and dark space. The cold temperature of the fridge can turn starch (淀粉) into sugar more rapidly. It is also recommended that potatoes be removed from plastic or paper bags they may have been placed in. Also, keep them unwashed, as well in an uncovered cardboard box.

◆Garlic(大蒜)

Placing garlic in your refrigerator will actually cause it to shoot. The garlic will also rotten and even rubbery. Moreover, inside your fridge, the look of the garlic will rarely change. This means you won’t be able to tell if it’s any good until you finally slice it open.

◆Onions(洋葱)

Placing your onions inside your refrigerator will eventually end up turning them rotten and soft. Unpeeled onions should be kept out of plastic bags and fridge. One of the reasons for this is because unpeeled onions require and need air exposure for maximum life. If you have peeled (剥皮) an onion though, then you should keep it in the fridge, in a covered container.

【1】Why should bananas be kept at normal temperature?

A. They can keep fresh long. B. They can remain their hardness.

C. They can keep their normal colour. D. They can grow delicious to eat.

【2】What should you do to keep potatoes well?

A. Wrap them in paper bags. B. Put them in open containers.

C. Keep them in airtight cardboard boxes. D. Store them in a cool, wet and dark space.

【3】Which of the following can be stored in the fridge under certain condition?

A. Bananas. B. Potatoes. C. Onions. D. Garlic.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

本文是一篇应用文，题材为生活类。文章介绍了四种不能放入冰箱的东西，它们分别是香蕉、土豆、洋葱和大蒜。比如大蒜放冰箱会变发芽，也会腐烂、变硬；还有，即使已经坏了，从表面上也看不出来。

【1】推理判断题。根据第一个小标题的第二句 the Bananas are better kept on the counter until they ripen可知，香蕉放入冰箱会阻止变熟，放在外面会变熟，自然会好吃。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二个小标题的最后一句as well in an uncovered cardboard box可知，土豆应该放在不封闭的盒子里。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据最后一个小标题的最后一句 If you have peeled(剥皮) an onion though, then you should keep it in the fridge, in a covered container可知洋葱剥皮之后可以放在冰箱里。故选C。

细节题占多数，但需要的是一个细心。答案都是在文章中可以找到，而且往往答案都是在设问内容的附近。另外也可以通过排除法，一个一个选项匹配排除，最终得出最佳答案。当遇到答案比较接近的时候，尤其需要细心。例如小题3，虽然文章介绍了四种不能放入冰箱的食物，但剥过皮的洋葱除外。根据文章最后一段的最后一句可以得出答案。
