(2013·高考江蘇卷)With inspiration from other food cultures,American food culture can take a________ for the better.
A.shareB.chance
C.turnD.lead
C
選C。本題中四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為常見的名詞,考查take分別與這四個(gè)名詞構(gòu)成的短語的含義。take a share 分擔(dān)……,為……出力;take a chance冒險(xiǎn);take a turn轉(zhuǎn)彎,轉(zhuǎn);(情況、形勢(shì)等)轉(zhuǎn)變;take a lead 領(lǐng)先,帶頭。根據(jù)本句關(guān)鍵信息for the better 可知講的是有所好轉(zhuǎn),變得更好。句意為“有了源于其他食品文化的靈感,美國飲食文化可以變得更好”。朗文辭典上也有類似的例句:The President’s fortunes seem,at last,to have taken a turn for the better(=started to improve).總統(tǒng)的時(shí)運(yùn)似乎終于出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)了。

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.    小題1:    Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65-team US men’s college basketball tournament.    小題2: Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (單局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.   小題3:  Colleagues against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams.   小題4: 
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.   小題5:  About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (賭) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A. Husbands against wives.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. College students will ignore piles of homework.
E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.

Rock Climbing as Sport and Art
An estimated nine million people rock climb in the United States. Millions more take part in the activity around the world.   小題1: Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many methods and protective devices that can increase a climber’s safety.
 小題2:   Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks with only their fingers or toes.
There are several kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes and attach devices to the rocks as they climb many hundreds of meters up. They also connect their ropes to the devices.   小題3:  Sport climbing is similar. However, in those cases the protective devices are permanently placed in the rock. There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls made of wood or concrete have places for the climber’s hands and feet.
小題4:  People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice.
And then there is bouldering(巨石攀巖)— climbing rocks between three and seven meters high.   小題5:  Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.
A.Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds.
B.Some do it just for personal satisfaction.
C.Some go climbing at weekends or in holidays.
D.It is a quicker and more intense(劇烈的;緊張的)kind of climbing.
E. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.
F. Climbing takes strength, control and good balance.
G. It is more challenging and dangerous, but also more fun.
