One day ,a woman was making chocolate cookies. When she ran out of chocolate powder(粉)， she took out a chocolate bar and broke it into little pieces. She added the pieces to her cookie dough(面團) and baked (烘烤) it. She thought that the chocolate would (1) melt in the oven and make chocolate cookies. Far from melting, the pieces of chocolate stayed hard. When she took them out of the oven ,she had chocolate chip cookies.

Another accidental invention was made by Frank Epperson, an eleven-year-old boy .In 1905, Frank sat outside on a winter evening ,mixing up a big jug (罐) of powdered soda pop. Frank accidentally left the jug out during the night . When he went outside the next morning ,he found the mixsure in the jug frozen(凍僵) with the mixing stick stuck in the middle. Frank pulled out the frozen pop and tasted it . It was delicious ! Frank started selling Epperson Icicles for 5 cents each. He later changed the named to (2) Popsicles.

So, the next time you drop your hamburger into your ice cream or your cooked potatoes into your chicken soup ,don’t worry! Some of the most delicious foods in the world were invented that way!

【1】猜測畫線單詞。melt的意思。

A. change into water B. change into ice

【2】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成chocolate chip cookies 的制作過程。

（1）Take out a chocolate bar and _______________________________.

(2) Then add____________________________.

(3) Finally bake it.

【3】請列舉文中與（2）Popsicles 同義的另外兩個表述。

_________________________________________________________.

【4】請從文章中找出能夠概括本文主旨大意的一個句子。

______________________________________________________

【答案】

【1】 A

【2】 break it into little pieces the pieces to the cookie dough

【3】 frozen pop Epperson Icicles

【4】 Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake.

【解析】

本文主要講了有時，最偉大的事物是由于差錯被發(fā)明的，并且給我們舉了一些例子。

【1】下文內(nèi)容Far from melting, the pieces of chocolate stayed hard.意思是遠非融化，巧克力片依然堅硬，由此推知上文內(nèi)容She thought that the chocolate would (1) melt in the oven and make chocolate cookies.意思是她認為巧克力可能會在烤箱里融化，melt意思是融化，化成水的意思，故選A。

【2】.第二段When she ran out of chocolate powder (粉)，she took out a chocolate bar and broke it into little pieces. She added the pieces to her cookie dough (面團) and baked (烘烤) it.詳細描述了chocolate chip cookies的制作過程：取出一個巧克力棒，把它弄成小的碎片，然后把這些碎片添加到制甜酥餅干的面團，所以填(1). break it into little pieces (2). the pieces to the cookie dough。

【3】由倒數(shù)第二段Frank pulled out the frozen pop and tasted it. It was delicious. Frank started selling Epperson Icicles for 5 cents each. He later changed the name to (2) Popsicles.可知the frozen pop，Epperson Icicles和Popsicles指代的是同一種事物，即雪糕，所以填(1). frozen pop (2). Epperson Icicles。

【4】第一段中Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake.是全文的主題句，所以本文的主旨大意是有時，最偉大的事物是由于差錯被發(fā)明的，所以填Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake.

【題目】Do you know the word kiasu? If not, then be kiasu and google it. You’ll get more than a million hits and learn that, usually associated (聯(lián)系) with Singaporeans, it means “to be afraid of losing out”. You’ll come across words such as kiasu parents, kiasu companies and even kiasu apps.

Just 40 years ago, the word first spread among men in the Singapore army. But before long, it had entered everyday Singapore English.

The first formal use of kiasu happened in 1990 in a government document (公文). Since then it has often been seen in Singapore newspapers. It spread to some other countries in southeast Asia, too. In 1992, Malaysia’s New Straits Times wrote of “kiasu parents providing their children with much more materials than necessary”.

Ten years after its first use in print, the word was used worldwide. Since around 2000, kiasu has appeared in British newspapers. The Guardian, in 2001,reported how “this pursuit of material wealth and the strong need to be No.1 has created the Singaporean we hear so much about---the kiasu Singaporean”, and again reported in 2004 that Singaporeans’ value shows how much they feel the need to stay ahead of everyone else and that they have a word for it: kiasu.

The word entered the Urban Dictionary in 2003 and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2007.In the the same year, Singaporean restaurant Kiasu opened in London.

The turning point on kiasu’s road to the mainstream came with its being used in documents and newspapers. Who dared to use kiasu in a government document? Who first used it in a newspaper? It was these people who pushed kiasu into the mainstream.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to use the word kiasu.B. What the word kiasu means.

C. The history of the word kiasu.D. The importance of the word kiasu.

【2】What marked the wide use of the word kiasu around the world?

A. Its appearance in British papers.B. Its use as the name of a restaurant.

C. Its acceptance by a key document.D. Its description in Singapore newspapers.

【3】What does the underlined word “pursuit” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. the act of looking forB. the act of looking out

C. the act of giving upD. the act of giving out
