UNIT 3 单元主题训练

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

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.

A short cooking video posted by a netizen on Tiktok has recently become a popular hit on the site. Bearing the tag “Chinese food”， the video not only showed off the chief's superb skills in making Chinese dishes, but it also got netizens abroad wanting to get a taste of China's unique food culture.

Although the video was nothing master-level, just a rather standard home-made fried potato dish, it received more than 200,000 likes after only three days of posting. In addition to praising the chef, commenters wondered why such a simple Chinese dish could look like a fancy cuisine that had been made through tons of effort. “Even the most basic Chinese dish needs to have three elements: colour, smell and taste. For example, colour not only requires a chef to have sharp eyes, but also valuable experience，” said Wang, an experienced Chinese chef in Guangzhou.

Chinese cooking is not the only type of content covered by the tag. Other popular videos under the tag include “odd food” challenges, traditional Chinese dishes and Chinese snack tasting, the latter of which has become particularly popular among young omnivore vloggers (video bloggers) living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalization.

“I have been a fan of Chinese food ever since my Chinese friend cooked me di san xian at university. I was surprised by the dish's taste and its look, which was very different from my home food, but felt it was very familiar to me because I noticed we share similar cooking skills，” said Bianca, an Italian Asian food fan.

“I started my channel by recording my roommate tasting my cooking. These videos got likes and comments gradually. Seeing some people commenting in German or English and saying ‘I want to try it’， I felt these videos can narrow the gap between the two cultures，” said Mr Bear, a vlogger on Bilibili who promotes Chinese cooking.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国烹饪在年轻的博主中很受欢迎，中国饮食文化成为全球化的一个组成部分。

B．People eating vegetables.

D．People eating Chinese food.

解析：选C　词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句子可知，the latter of which指代的是“Chinese snack tasting”，但中国小吃不只包含蔬菜和肉类，而“vloggers”的后置定语是“living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalization”，因此博主也不仅限于吃中国食物。故选C。

6．What does Bianca think of Chinese food?

A．Common and dear.

解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知， Bianca认为中餐很特别并且又对它有熟悉的感觉。故选B。

A．The majority of his fans tasted the food he cooked.

B．His roommate encouraged him to cook Chinese food.

C．He is an expert determined to become a Chinese chef.

8．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Chinese culture has aroused people's interest overseas.

B．The video is more master-level than a standard home-made.

C．Basic Chinese dish has three elements: color, smell and taste.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

(2022·河南省实验中学高三模拟)When you hear the phrase cultural heritage, what comes to mind? Maybe you remember going to see folk dances with people wearing traditional costumes. Perhaps you were exposed to the music and arts of this culture. __9__ It might begin with the memory of your mother's cooking, or visiting grandma's house and receiving a special treat as a reward for good behaviour. As you close your eyes, can you picture your favourite dish? Is it a salad with a special dressing, or a delicious dessert? __10__ Maybe you're far away from home and eating your favourite soul food makes you feel closer to those you're separated from.

Many of us have missed spending a holiday or two with our loved ones, only to find ourselves calling to ask what they had for dinner. It doesn't matter if it's the same thing that is served year after year. __11__ These recipes, cherished family favourites, handed down from each generation to the next might experience subtle changes, but there still remains a sense of unity. It is this unity that constructs the bridge between families and generations. __12__

Good food knows no boundaries. It makes a great bond between young and old. Here, in the kitchen the old master works hand in hand with younger family members and friends, passing on traditional skills used in the cooking arts. However, more is taking place than a mere transfer of information about ingredients and mixing instructions. __13__ It becomes an opportunity for a parent to teach family values while passing the sugar and beating the eggs. Confidences can be exchanged along with the natural flow of conversation.

A．Nor does it matter whether it has changed a lot.

B．A magic moment is created between children and elder.

C．Food makes up our fondest memories of our childhood.

D．Can you smell the aroma flowing through the house?

E．There's nothing like food to help us identify with our roots.

F．Most likely, however, what comes to mind will be the food.

G．Food can be described as the building blocks of this cultural bridge.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了食物也是一种文化遗产，并介绍了食物在家庭中所发挥的重要作用。

9．选F　上文提到了听到文化遗产你可能会想起人们穿着传统服装跳舞以及这种文化的音乐和艺术，后文则提到了食物，由此可知本句与上文构成转折，指出人们想到食物这种文化遗产。故F选项“然而，最可能出现在脑海里的是食物”符合语境，故选F。

10．选D　本句与上文形成并列，同为设问句，也是关于想到食物的场景。故D选项“你能闻到房子里飘出来的香味吗？”符合语境，故选D。

11．选A　后文提到食物带来的团结感在家庭和几代人之间架起了桥梁，可见食物可以让我们更加认清自己的根源。故E选项“没有什么比食物更能帮助我们认清自己的根”符合语境，故选E。

12．选G　食物带来了团结感，即食物也是家庭文化桥梁的组成部分。G选项中的bridge与空前一句中的bridge是原词复现。故G选项“食物可以被描述为这个文化桥梁的组成部分”符合语境，故选G。

13．选B　上文提到了食物是年轻人和老年人之间的纽带，B选项中“between children and elder”对应上文中“between young and old”。故B选项“在孩子和老人之间创造一个神奇的时刻”符合语境，故选B。

Ⅲ.完形填空

Every New Year's Eve, we had breakfast at Aunt Dot's house.Aunt Dot lived in a home with shelves of  __14__  and photo albums she had collected over the years.

Although the food was delicious, my most vivid  __15__  of the meal was the centrepiece (桌子中央的摆设) that Aunt Dot always  __16__  on her kitchen table — a set of seven salt and pepper shakers (胡椒粉瓶)．

Last year, I asked Aunt Dot about the  __17__ centrepiece.“Why do you always put them out on New Year's Eve morning？” I asked.

“It helps to   __18__   me that even though the holidays are over, there's another whole year of them coming.I have learned that nothing really  __19__； every ending in life is really just another new beginning.” She smiled and continued, “Remember that, my dear.” And I  __20__.

In the spring of that year, after a short illness, Aunt Dot __21__.She left her book  __22__  to my mum, but I was  __23__  to learn that I got the holiday salt  and pepper shakers.I  __24__  Aunt Dot wanted to make sure I remembered her   __25__ to life.

Now, I continue Aunt Dot's breakfast __26__ at my own apartment.The pancakes are never as   __27__   as Aunt Dot's, but the centre of the table is  covered with those __28__ salt and pepper shakers, reminding us that every  ending is really just another beginning.

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者一家每年的新年前夕都会去姨妈家吃早餐，而姨妈家的餐桌上永远都会摆着一套调料瓶。姨妈告诉作者，她之所以每年都把它们摆出来，是因为这些调料瓶提醒她每一次结束都意味着另一个新的开始。

参考范文：

Dear Jack，

Delighted that you are interested in the pictures concerning Chinese students doing housework, I'm writing to share with you my life in this aspect.

Personally, apart from online learning during the epidemic days, I took an active part in fulfilling my duty of doing housework. By making beds, sweeping the floor and watering flowers instead of my mother, I had not only gained some labour skills, but also felt a strong sense of achievement and self-satisfaction.Actually, doing housework helps me realize how much my parents have done for my comfortable life. That's why I have decided to keep my family role as a life-long habit.

Best wishes!

Yours，

Li Hua
