7.Delicious Culture
Cultural identity is what helps a nation,an area or a social group to distinguish itself from others.Across the globe and throughout human history,the land and climate have made groups of people develop their own food preferences,(25)whichhave become their traditional cuisines (美食) and their diversified lifestyles.However,this kind of food identity is fading slowly due to changes in the way we live today.
(26)What food is available is no longer decided by geography.As the world shrinks,our area's preferences will surely become more similar to (27)those of the rest of the world.As international food industry consultant Chris Lukehurst told The Guardian,you'll see Italian teens ignoring their local wine in favor of American-style beer.And while coffee and potato chips were"almost unknown"in China a decade ago,they are now becoming popular here.
However,(28)to win (win)as many customers as possible,multinational companies change their products a little for each market.Take fast food (29)for example.In China,both McDonald's and KFC include much more salad in their meals to help provide the three food groups necessary in every meal:grains,protein and vegetables.They also offer rice porridge,soy milk drinks and youtiao,or fried dough sticks,in breakfast menus to suit local customers.
(30)Although only a certain culinary (烹飪的) sign of culture is fading,UNESCO has decided to safeguard the world's food-related cultural heritage (遺產(chǎn)).In 2008,cuisines from specific cultures (31)were included (include) in its List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)).
Now,let's take a food journey across the world to understand (32)why we often say that you are what you eat,or you are what your ancestors ate.
分析 短文主要講了美食文化,每個地區(qū)都有專屬那個地區(qū)的美食文化,并且這些文化是由上一代人傳承下來的.
解答 25.which;考查非限制性定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞,定語從句的先行詞為their own food preferences,引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句使用which.
26.What;考查主語從句的引導(dǎo)詞,表示"什么食物"應(yīng)使用what引導(dǎo)主語從句.
27.those;考查代替,用來指代前文提到的復(fù)數(shù)名詞preferences應(yīng)使用those.
28.to win;考查動詞不定式,此處應(yīng)使用動詞不定式充當(dāng)目的狀語,故答案為to win.
29.for;考查固定搭配for example"例如".
30.Although;考查連詞,前后句子表示轉(zhuǎn)折的意思,應(yīng)使用although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,表示"雖然,盡管".
31.were included;考查謂語動詞,句子主語cuisines與謂語include構(gòu)成被動的關(guān)系,句中有時間狀語in 2008,應(yīng)使用一般過去時,故答案為were included.
32.why,考查賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞,從句成分完整,根據(jù)句子意思應(yīng)使用why"為什么"來引導(dǎo).
點評 對于語法填空這類題,一是懂得分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),二是知道充當(dāng)各個句子成分的詞類或詞性,從語法上確定答案,當(dāng)然,對于某些固定搭配也要牢記,在平時的學(xué)習(xí)中要多積累這些詞匯或短語,對于句子使用的時態(tài)語態(tài)也要通過語境進行確定.
