(建议用时:45分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·济南高三质检)There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning. For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.
If you’re a big fan of coffee, you’ll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell—fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you’ll be able to identify the beans’ origin—Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. “When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you’re getting physiological responses.”
I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it’s the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it’s convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?
You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and a vast majority of them still don’t get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!
【解题导语】 咖啡的味道令作者着迷,但是纸杯装的咖啡,其味道被阻隔了,无法让人感觉到咖啡真正的味道,并且纸杯还带来污染。
1.In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?
A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.
B.Coffee beans’ origin makes all the differences.
C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.
D.It’s the smell of coffee that really matters.

3.What can replace the word “eliminating” underlined in Paragraph 4?
A.Creating. B.Removing.

(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.
8
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.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。
5.What’s the function of food mentioned in the text?
A.To help motivate homesickness.
B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history.
D.To show a community’s superiority.
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。
6.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,
8
也是处理乡愁的方法。由此可推知,it指代传统食物。
7.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To make the dishes popular among customers.
D.To present their own food culture in a new way.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的内容,尤其是第四、五句“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.”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。
8.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A.Negative. B.Balanced.
C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable.
B 解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段的内容,尤其是第一句“We should embrace our heritage(传统) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.”可知,我们应该通过我们文化的食物来接受我们的传统,但也应该通过尝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。

One possible version:
Dear__Tom,
I’m writing to offer my sincere apologies for missing the chance to go climbing with you this weekend.
We’re both keen on watching sunrise at the top of the mountain. But what I didn’t anticipate before is that to prepare for the drama festival, our team is informed to rehearse the play this weekend in the city hall. I feel terribly sorry once again. Would you be interested in coming to watch our rehearsal this weekend? And if possible, maybe we could go climbing next weekend.
Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation. Look forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li__Hua
