Unit 2 Poems

李仕才

一、阅读理解。

Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies — people who love good food — often say that we eat with all of our senses.

First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food.

Next, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering aromas (香味) rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste.

But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience? A new report answers, “yes, it does. ”

That answer comes from researchers at Brigham Young University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.

Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense, ” says Ryan Elder, “if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. ”

On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.

The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up.

But besides not overeating, there is another upside.

Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat, could help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more.

【文章大意】 本文告诉人们享用食物时, 会用到五种感觉: 视觉、触觉、听觉、嗅觉和味觉; 并着重说明了听觉对人们进食量的影响。

1. How many senses are involved in enjoying foods? A. 3.

B. 4.

C. 5.

【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段、第三段和第四段可知: 人们享用食物时, 涉及五种感觉——the sense of sight, the sense of touch, the sense of hearing, the sense of smell和the sense of taste。故C项正确。

1

2. The underlined phrase “such noises” in the seventh paragraph refers to ________. A. the noises food being eaten makes B. the noises people hear while eating C. the loud music people hear while eating D. the noises from TV while people eat

【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第六、七段的内容可知, such noises指上一段中“people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it”中的the sound。故A项“食物在被食用时所发出的噪音”为正确答案。

3. Which sense does the passage mainly analyze when it comes to appreciating food? A. The sense of taste. C. The sense of touch.

B. The sense of hearing. D. The sense of smell.

【解析】选B。主旨大意题。从第四段开始至最后一段都在分析听觉对人们享用食物的影响。故B项正确。

二、单句语法填空

1．Is there anything ________ particular that you want to talk about? 答案：in in particular为固定的介词短语，作后置定语，修饰anything，意为“特别的”。

2．If we ________ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.

答案：had exchanged 该句为错综时间虚拟条件句。由last week可知，从句表示与过去事实相反，故应填had exchanged。

3．Although ________ (tease) about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.

答案：teased 主语she与tease之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语。 4．This is a poem that perfectly ________ (convey) to the readers what the poet feels.

答案：conveys 由主句谓语动词is和从句中的feels可以判断用一般现在时。定语从句的先行词为a poem，为单数形式，故从句谓语动词也应用第三人称单数形式conveys，该从句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的结构。

5．She always exchanges words ________ her neighbours. 答案：with exchange ... with ... “和……交换……”。

6．Since then it ________ (transform) itself from a small fishing village into a major financial centre.

答案：has transformed 由since then可知，句子应用现在完成时。

7．In some places women are expected to earn money ________ men work at home and raise their children.

答案：while while “而，然而”，可用于表示两种情况的对比。

8．With something important ________ (talk) about with you, you must stay here. 答案：to talk 该句为“with＋宾语＋to do”复合结构，to do表示将来的动作。 9．He just took ________ for granted that he would pass the exam.

答案：it take it for granted that ... 为常用句式，意为“认为……是理所当然的”。

10．I think her ________ (translate) of the article is much better.

答案：translation 由her可知，应填所给词的名词形式translation，意为“翻译；译文”。
