Text 9答案

1. 【答案】D

【解析】suitable是“合适的”，reliable是“可靠的”，identifiable是“可辨认的，可识别的”;available是“可获得的”。这篇文章是关于饮食全球化的，这句话要表达的意思是：“来自世界不同厨房的菜谱和饭菜将在任何时间任何地点。”根据句子意思应该填available，所以D是正确答案。

2. 【答案】A

【解析】 trend是“趋势，时髦，时尚”，fashion是“时尚，时兴，风行一时的事物”，tendency是“趋势，趋向”，style是“流行式样，款式新颖的东西”。全球化对于饮食来说，不仅是趋势，而且是一种时尚，包含这两层意思的只有trend，因此答案是A。

3. 【答案】C

【解析】component是“(组)成(部)分，零件，部件”，food是“事物，食品”，ingredient 是“(混合物的)组成部分，成份，(烹调的)原料”，stuff是“食物，饮料”。要填的单词和空格后面的cooking styles构成并列关系，和烹调方式直接相关的是烹调的原料，即ingredients，foods和stuffs虽然也和主题相关，但如果和 cooking styles搭配，逻辑关系不够严谨，所以答案是C。

4. 【答案】B

【解析】transport是“运输，运送”，transplant是“移植，移种”，transfer是“搬，转移，调动”，translate是“翻译，给……重新措辞，解释，说明”。空格前的they 指代的是这句话的主语，即ingredients and cooking styles，空格所填的动词必须与之搭配，transport只能和ingredients搭配，cooking styles是无法transport的，transfer 只能和ingredients搭配，translate只能和cooking styles搭配，只有transplant既能和ingredients，又能和cooking styles搭配，所以正确答案是B。

5. 【答案】A

【解析】 part是“一部分，部分”，role是“角色，作用，任务”，portion是“一部分，一份”，side是“边，缘，侧面，方面”。根据上下文以及英语的习惯表达，这里应该选part，A是正确答案。6. 【答案】B

【解析】insight后面应该跟介词into，因此答案是B。

7. 【答案】C

【解析】taste是“味道，滋味”，flavor是“滋味，味道”，dish是“一盘菜，莱肴，食品”，course是“(一)道(菜)”，常用表达法如a nine-course banquet，指的是“9道菜的宴会”。taste和flavor都是抽象名词，意思相近，无法区别，属于干扰选项，所以同时排除，正确答案是C。

8. 【答案】B

【解析】information是“情报，资料，消息”，knowledge是“知识，了解，熟悉”，insight是“洞察力，洞悉，深入了解”，experience是“经历，阅历，经验，体验”。首先排除insight和experience，因为人们不需要对不同大洲和文化的食物或原料有所洞察或者经历、经验，而information指的是关于某一形势、人或事件的信息，所以knowledge 更加合适，答案是B。

9. 【答案】A

【解析】socialization是“社会化(指使人，尤其儿童，形成为其社会所接受的行为方式的过程)”，realization是“实现，理解，认知”，standardization是“标准化”，localization是“地方化，本地化”。空格要填的单词和后面的 cultural exchange及Success构成并列，这段话是针对globe-trotting businessmen而言，他们为融入当地的文化需要做出什么样努力，他们的目的是让自己的行为被当地人所接受，因此要去了解当地的文化，而不是把自身的文化本地化，所以选socialization，答案是A。

10. 【答案】C

【解析】however是“然而，可是”，somehow是“由于某种未知的原因，不知怎的”，moreover是“而且，此外”，anyway是“无论如何”。第二段是讲奔走于世界各地的商人要了解所到之处的饮食文化，第三段是讲人们足不出户就可以了解世界其他地方的饮食，两者之间是递进的关系，所以选C。

11. 【答案】C

【解析】strange是“外地的，异乡的，奇特的，奇怪的”，new是“新的”，exotic 是“外(国)来的，异国情调的，外国气派(或风味)的”，remote是“远的，边远的”。这段第一句话的意思是“此外，烹饪全球化不仅仅局限于亲身去旅行。”烹饪全球化的意思是不同国家之间的饮食文化进行交流，所以这里选择C是最贴切的。

12. 【答案】A

【解析】四个选项都是用conscious构成的复合词，指“注重…的”。soul food是指“美国(尤指南方)黑人常吃的食物(如猪小肠、玉米面包、猪脚爪、煎鲇鱼、山药等)”，传统的soul food在用料和烹调方法上对健康有一定的影响，出于健康原因，现在的soul food 已经进行了一定的改良，所以这里选A。

13. 【答案】B

【解析】population是“人口”，popularity是“普及，流行，大众化”，quantity 是“数量”，prosperity 是“繁荣”。这句话的主语是fast-casual restaurants，同位语trendy eateries是指时髦的餐馆，强调时髦与流行，所以答案是B。

14. 【答案】A

【解析】expand是“扩大，发展”，extend是“伸展，延伸，延续”，export是“(尤指向国外) 输出”，exclude是“不让(或阻止)…进入，不包括”。可以：立即排除exclude，

而这句话的主语是ethnic cuisine，export这个动作不能由它发出，因此排除export，extend指的是长度上的延伸，与cuisine也不能搭配，因此答案是 A。

15. 【答案】D

【解析】这一段的主题句说：“民族特色的菜肴将向全世界扩展，并相互融合”。冒号后面的两句话是举例说明。第二句话的大概意思是说在纽约和芝加哥的小餐馆里有乌兹别克的菜，融合了波斯、俄国和中国的特色。第一句话是一个类似的例子，就是说可以在chifa 这种食物的发源地秘鲁之外的地方找到它，beyond正好表达这个意思，所以选D。

16. 【答案】A

【解析】flavor是“滋味，味道”，flower是“花”，flour是“面粉”，flame是“火焰”。这句话的主干是dishes combine.答案明显是A。

17. 【答案】B

【解析】recreate是“使再现，重新创造”，rethink是“(尤指为作出改变而深入地)再想，重新思考”，represent是“代表，表述，描绘”，replace是“代替，取代”。根据这句话的主语New York chef Mario Batali和动词后的宾语pizza，可以首先排除represent和replace，因为这两个选项明显不能与之搭配，recreate是指重新创造出历史上的事物，使之再现，而pizza是一直存在的东西，并不是历史上曾经出现过而现在已经消逝的事物，用recreate也不合适，因此答案是B。

18. 【答案】A

【解析】portable是“便于携带的，轻便的”，attractive是“有吸引力的，引起注意的”，edible是“可以吃的，可食用的”，popular是“讨人喜欢的，流行的”。attractive 和popular意思相近，无法取舍，所以同时排除，空格要填的单词和前面的 thinner，healthier由and连接，构成并列，前两个单词分别描述了新披萨在厚度和对健康的影响这两方面的新特点，都很具体，而下文紧接着就提到“One size does not fit all”，意思是“一种尺寸不能满足所有人的要求”，这句话是对上面那句话中某个特点的进一步展开，按照这个思路，在portable和edible两个词中选择，portable指出了在体积上的新变化，所以答案是A。

19. 【答案】C

【解析】这句话逗号后面的那部分是非限制性定语从句，从句中没有缺少的句子成分，因此空格里填的不可能是关系代词，立即排除which，逗号前的先行词是designer delis，即由著名设计师设计的熟食店，表示地点，所以选择C。

20. 【答案】B

【解析】英语当中主菜与配菜的固定表达分别是main dish和side dish，所以答案是B。

小提示：目前本科生就业市场竞争激烈，就业主体是研究生，在如今考研竞争日渐激烈的情况下，我们想要不在考研大军中变成分母，我们需要：早开始+好计划+正确的复习思路+好的辅导班（如果经济条件允许的情况下）。2017考研开始准备复习啦，早起的鸟儿有虫吃，一分耕耘一分收获。加油！

(10 points) Facebook has been 1 with fire and has got its fingers burned, again. On November 29th America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had reached a 2 settlement with the giant social network over 3 that it had misled people about its use of their personal data. The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which 4 over 800m users, betrayed its users’ trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader 5 by the FTC to craft a new privacy framework to deal with the rapid 6 of social networks in America. The regulator’s findin gs come at a 7 moment for Facebook, which is said to be preparing for an initial public offering next year that could value it at around $100 billion.

考研英语冲刺30天第14天：阅读理解篇之二 第十四天：九大题型微观把握---阅读理解篇之二 从微观上把握阅读题型是阅读理解的另一项基本功。今天总结阅读中的几大题型以及正确答案的一般特征。考研阅读的题型与基本技巧如下： 一、事实细节题 基本技巧：定位原文，同义替换（根据问题中的关键词定位原文，寻找对原文进行同义替换的选项） 例如， Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice. (2003-1) Straitford is most proud of its. [A] official status [B] nonconformist image [C] efficient staff [D] military background 根据问题中的关键词proud of（对...感到自豪）定位文章末句：Straitford, takes pride in its independent voice.（Straitford对自己能发出的独立声音感到自豪）。B选项中的nonconformist（独立的）对末句中的independent进行了同义替换，所以B为正确答案。 二、例证题

基本技巧：定位例子，寻找总结（例子前后，一般在例子前找对例子的总结） 三、词义题 基本技巧：文中判断，语法标点（根据上下文进行判断；可以借助标点符号、语法搭配等；常见词的字面意思要警惕） 四、句子理解题 基本技巧：抓住主干，逻辑态度（剔出主谓部分；如果是复合句，要注意所表达的逻辑关系；涉及态度的句子，要注意与原句态度一致的选项） 五、指代题 基本技巧：向上搜索，代入验证（根据代词所表示的数量，如单数或复数等特征确定选项，然后将答案代入原文验证） 六、推理题 基本技巧：对应原文，注意转折（一般的推理题都有对应的原文，例如它常对应原文的转折处，因此不能凭感觉盲目推断） 例如， The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side-don't usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town's revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.(2006-2)
