题文

Another food which is cloly associated with Americans is apple pie．Apple pie is often rved hot with a spoon of ice cream or a slice of chee at the end of the biggest meal of the day—dinner, and it is a favorite desrt throughout the nation, if a person is typical of Americans, we can say, "He is as American as apple pie．"It is true that the apple and apple pie do not originate in America, but the expression "as American as apple pie" is not the product of a pure imagination．As early as 1625, the English colonists, having brought orchards （果园） on this new land and in most of the colonial times, the apple was a main material of both plain and fancy cooking．The first Massachutts governor, William Endicott, was one of many keen apple planters who helped to lay the foundations for today' s apple-growing industry in America．A major attraction of the apple for the colonists was that it could be made into cider （苹果酒）. Like most Europeans, English colonists held a strong suspicion （怀疑） of drinking water, and since grapegrowing was hindered by plant peats, cider became an alternative to wine．Cheap and easy to produce, it was the American drink of first choice well into the nineteenth century． Whether it was dried, raw or cooked, the apple also found its way into numerous colonial dishes, including apple sauces, pudding, stuffings and many desrts．Therefore, the conclusion to be drawn here is obvious．The apple pie became known as American, not becau it was invented on this land （since it was proved that Europeans had been eating apple pies for centuries）, but becau, thanks to the huge orchards in the states of Washington and New York, America became the world's largest apple-producing nation．小题1:If a person is said to be as American as apple pie, it means that _______．A．he always prefers apple pie as a desrtB．his favourite pie is apple pieC．he behaves and thinks in the American way D．he is good at making American apple pie小题2:The apple can be ud to make into all of the following except _______．A．wineB．saucesC．puddingD．cider小题3:The underlined word hindered in Paragraph 3 means．________．A．promotedB．preventedC．improvedD．enlarged小题4:It can be concluded from the passage that_______．A．the apple pie was first rved in AmericaB．the English colonists developed a taste for the apple only after they, arrived at the New WorldC．the expression "as American as apple pie" is a pure imaginationD．the apple pie is traditionally associated with Americans due to their large apple production 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Another food which i.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
