Question

【題目】B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或詞語完成短文）

It was my first week in Kansas City, the USA. My friend, Sharon, asked me whether I'd like to try McDonald's for a quick lunch. So, we went. American fast food is quite popular in China, so I could_______ pick something that I used to have in Beijing-a super burger, a coke and French fries, though the names of the food were in English.________, the burger was much bigger than what I had back home. I thought to myself, after all, most Americans are bigger than Chinese. They must need more for lunch.

With my lunch set in front of me, I wanted some tomato sauce to_______my French fries, so I went to the waiter and asked him for some tomato sauce.

"What?" he looked puzzled. "Tomato sauce?"

I started to feel uncertain. I had studied English for six years. He should be able to understand me without any problems. Maybe, it was not called "tomato sauce" here, I________.

"I'm not sure what you call that thing," I tried again, "but it's American food, and you put tomato sauce on everything."

"Sorry , Miss," he said, shaking his head, "but we don't have tomato sauce here. Never have."

I walked back to Sharon and asked her the question. She smiled and asked me to wait for a moment. A few minutes later, she came back with several packages that I had asked for. So, they never used the________ packages for the tomato sauce. Oh, no, it's written right there, "Ketchup".

"What's the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce?" I asked.

"I don't know________we call it this name," replied Sharon. "Never thought about it."

Sharon's smile suddenly made me realize that the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce lay not so much in the food itself as in our different cultures.

【解析】

本文講述了作者和朋友沙倫第一次在美國麥當(dāng)勞吃快餐，想要番茄醬。但是在美國番茄醬稱為Ketchup，而不是tomato sauce。作者意識(shí)到Ketch-up 和 the tomato sauce的區(qū)別不在于食物本身，而在于不同的文化。

【1】句意：美國快餐在中國很受歡迎，所以我可以很容易地選擇一些我以前在北京吃過的東西——一個(gè)超級(jí)漢堡，一杯可樂和炸薯?xiàng)l，盡管這些食物的名字是英文的。

A. carefully認(rèn)真地，B. happily高興地，C. easily容易地，D. hardly幾乎不。根據(jù)American fast food is quite popular in China可知，美國的快餐在中國非常受歡迎，因此我選擇快餐食物很容易，故選C。

【2】句意：令我驚訝的是，這個(gè)漢堡比我在國內(nèi)吃的大得多。

A. To my surprise令我感到驚訝的是，B. For example例如，C. In addition除了，D. In this way用這種方法。根據(jù)the burger was much bigger than what I had back home.可知，在美國吃的漢堡比在國內(nèi)吃的大得多，因此這是令人驚訝的，故選A。

【3】句意：我的午餐擺在面前，我想要一些番茄醬來搭配我的薯?xiàng)l，所以我去找服務(wù)員要一些番茄醬。

A. compete競(jìng)賽，B. match 搭配，C. mix 混合，D. cook烹飪。此處表示番茄醬搭配薯?xiàng)l，故選B。

【4】句意：我想，也許這里不叫“番茄醬”。

A. wondered想知道，B. believed 相信，C. agreed同意，D. apologized道歉。根據(jù)it was not called "tomato sauce" here,可知，我在想也許這里不叫“番茄醬”。故選A。

【5】句意：所以，他們從來不為番茄醬使用相同的包裝。

A. expensive昂貴的，B. attractive吸引人的，C. natural 自然的，D. same同樣的。根據(jù)Oh, no, it's written right there, "Ketchup".可知這個(gè)番茄醬上面寫的是“Ketchup”，不是中國的番茄醬的Tomato sauce，因此是不相同的包裝，the same同樣的，故選D。

【6】句意：沙倫回答：“我不知道我們?yōu)槭裁唇兴�這個(gè)名字”。

A. how如何，B. where 哪里，C. why 為什么，D. when何時(shí)。根據(jù)"Never thought about it."可知，沙倫不知道為什么稱番茄醬為“Ketchup”，故選C。

根據(jù)前后文的語境，認(rèn)真辨析選項(xiàng)里的單詞或短語的詞義，結(jié)合詞性，短語，句型，時(shí)態(tài)，語態(tài)和主謂一致，選出正確的選項(xiàng)。例如小題2，句意：令我驚訝的是，這個(gè)漢堡比我在家吃的大得多。A. To my surprise令我感到驚訝的是，B. For example例如，C. In addition除了，D. In this way用這種方法。根據(jù)the burger was much bigger than what I had back home.可知，在美國吃的漢堡比在家吃的大得多，因此這是令人驚訝的，故選A。
