Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2020·洛阳第二次统考)There is more of a connection between food

and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating

the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate

food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties

us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often

becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.

On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an

expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for

their culture and means of coping with homesickness.

Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food

does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be

readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their

home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same

countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small

changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create

new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.

We should embrace our heritage(传统) through our culture’s food but also become more

informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a

special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a

window into culture, and it should be treated as such.

1.What’s the function of food mentioned in the text?

B 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的内容,尤其是第二、三句“On an individual level, we

grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are.”,再根据第二段的内容,

尤其是第二句“It also operates as an expression of culture identity.”可知,文章中提到的食物的

作用是显示国家身份。

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The specific traditional food.

B.The national culture.

C.A traditional expression of food.

D.The old­fashioned taste.

A 解析:代词指代题。通读第二段可知,传统食物是文化的一个重要部分,它显示了

文化身份,移民不管去哪儿都带着它,它象征着对自己文化的骄傲,也是处理乡愁的方法。

由此可推知,it指代传统食物。

do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different

countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider

range of customers.”可知,移民不仅把菜肴卖给来自相同国家的人,还卖给不同国家的人。

为了使菜肴受到顾客的欢迎,一些移民不得不对传统的菜肴做一些小小的改变。

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?

试其他文化的食物来了解更多文化。由此可推知,作者对不同的食物文化持客观公正的态度。
