Unit 3 Travel journal.閱讀理解AIf your kitchen is home to just one type of cooking oil，you are missing out.As well as their unique tastes，different oils have different properties.Here's a summary of cooking techniques and which widely available oil suits each best：FOR GRILLING，BROWNING，AND DEEP­FRYINGAlmond (杏仁) oil is a member of the healthy monounsaturated (單一不飽和的) fat group, along with olive and macadamia nut oil.It has a high smoke point (450 )，so it can be used for all kinds of cooking and add that all­important extra nutty flavor.Store in a cool dry place.FOR BAKING AND STIR­FRYINGMacadamia nut oil gives any dish a rich buttery flavor and is full of antioxidants (抗氧化劑) and monounsaturated fats.It can tolerate up to 230 and will last up to three years if stored in a dry，cool place.FOR LIGHT COOKING，SAUCES，AND LOW­HEAT BAKINGSesame (芝麻) oil is often described as the queen of oils and is widely used as a cooking oil in India and a flavor enhancer in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine.Unlike some cooking oils，sesame oil is delicate and will spoil after only a few months.Always store in the refrigerator.FOR COLD SALAD DRESSINGS，DIPS AND MARINADESExtra virgin olive oil is one of the world's healthiest foods and loaded with flavor，which will vary depending on where the olives are grown.If stored in a dark bottle away from light and heat，extra virgin olive oil can last up to 12 months.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文為一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了幾種常見(jiàn)的烹飪方法及與之相匹配的食用油。1What is the best title of the passage?AWhich oil is your choice?BHow to buy oil?CHow to cook?DWhich cooking technique is the best?解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句可知本文的主題是，不同的烹飪方式需使用不同的食用油，故答案為A項(xiàng)。答案：A2According to the passage，which two require the same storing condition?AAlmond oil and macadamia nut oil.BMacadamia nut oil and sesame oil.CSesame oil and extra virgin olive oil.DExtra virgin olive oil and almond oil.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)FOR GRILLING，BROWNING，AND DEEP­FRYING部分可知杏仁油需在涼爽、干燥的地方儲(chǔ)存；根據(jù)FOR BAKING AND STIR­FRYING部分可知澳洲堅(jiān)果油也需要在涼爽、干燥的地方儲(chǔ)存，故答案為A項(xiàng)。答案：A3Which is the best match according to the passage?AGRILLING，BROWNING，AND DEEP­FRYINGmacadamia nut oilBBAKING AND STIR­FRYINGsesame oilCLIGHT COOKING，SAUCES，AND LOW­HEAT BAKINGalmond oilDCOLD SALAD DRESSINGS，DIPS AND MARINADES extra virgin olive oil解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)FOR COLD SALAD DRESSINGS，DIPS AND MARINADES部分可知答案為D項(xiàng)。答案：DBThe rumor proved all too bitterly true：Park's Hardware, a downtown institution of Orono for over 100 years，would be closing.Locals cross­examined，and begged Lin，the owner of the store，but in vain.Running a small，local，family­owned hardware business was no longer profit­making.The town's affection for Park's Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Park's as，day by day，the lettering on the front window changed from “20% OFF EVERYTHING” to “30%”，“40%”，and on and on，until the only things left were the light sockets (插座) and doorknobs.Compared with giant warehouses，a hardware store is special.I recall the time I was exploring in one giant warehouse for a wireless doorbell that Park's didn't carry.I found the thing，but didn't understand the following note on the package: “Red light indicates condition of the battery.”“Excuse me，”I said to a clerk，holding the item out，“I can't seem to find the red light.”The man examined it, and said, “Neither can I”I contrasted this experience with one I routinely had at Park's.“Lin，”I'd beg.“Can you.please.I don't know.do you think.？”And quicker than one could say，“l(fā)ittle red light，”Lin would spring into action and together we'd sit down to find the solution.I could buy a single screw (螺絲釘) at Park's.At a warehouse I have no choice but to buy a box of a hundred screws.But I don't want a box of a hundred screws when all I need is one. I just want to know the location of the little red light，and now that Park's is gone，I realize that I never will.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文為一篇記敘文，涉及家庭、朋友與周圍的人的話題。講述了一家五金店的倒閉和人們對(duì)它的懷念的一些情況。4Why did Park's decide to stop its business?AThe owner invested in other business.BThe owner couldn't make enough money.CIts location was not convenient for shopping.DIt couldn't win enough affection from the locals.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Running a small，local，family­owned hardware business was no longer profit­making.The town's affection for Park's Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.”可知，經(jīng)營(yíng)這樣的五金店已經(jīng)不能夠掙錢了，鎮(zhèn)上的人們對(duì)這家五金店的喜愛(ài)并不能使它贏得與大型倉(cāng)儲(chǔ)式商店的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。故選B。答案：B5What did Park's do before closing?AIt had a closing down sale.BIt struggled for its reorganization.CIt distributed its goods to regulars.DIt looked for a new owner.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“the lettering on the front window changed from20% OFF EVERYTHING to30%，40%”可知，五金店在關(guān)門息業(yè)之前采取了加大力度打折促銷的方式，即清倉(cāng)大處理。故選A。答案：A6What does the writer's experience in Paragraph 3 indicate?AThe benefit of having more choices.BThe pressure of competition for Park's.CThe good service of Park's.DThe responsible working attitude of large stores.解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“The man examined it，and said，Neither can I”以及“Lin would spring into action and together we'd sit down to find the solution.”可知，作者提及自己購(gòu)買無(wú)線門鈴的經(jīng)歷是為了說(shuō)明這家大型商店和帕克的五金店在服務(wù)質(zhì)量方面存在的差別，借以突出帕克的五金店良好的服務(wù)。故選C。答案：C7What's the writer's tone in writing this passage?AHumorous.BSupportive.CCritical.DRegretful.解析：推理判斷題。從文章開(kāi)始到文章結(jié)束，作者在字里行間都描述了自己和其他人對(duì)鎮(zhèn)上一家五金店關(guān)門的惋惜之情。故選D。答案：D.閱讀七選五Although people value intelligenceunderstanding，reasoning，the ability to learnthey also respect wisdom，or the knowledge and experience that they gain over a lifetime.In some ways，wisdom is like beauty: we value it，we desire it，we know it when we see it，but it is nearly impossible to pin down such a nice quality.11Working at being social.Studies show that people who stay connected with others show higher levels of wisdom than those who remain alone.2Next time you're at a party or gathering，single out someone who's standing alone and strike up a conversation.23Wisdom involves being able to understand all sides of an issue without letting personal feelings get in the way.Opening your mind means realizing that everyone has a life story that influences their actions.During the course of every day，make a note of the issues that annoy you，and take a moment to see them from the other side.3Learning how to say “I could be wrong”A wise person understands that it is impossible to know everything and that life is likely to take unexpected turns.4Admitting that there are times when you could be mistaken will go a long way towards strengthening your fame.4Reading the news.5If you haven't already read a daily paper or news online，start by going through a single front­page article from a major respected news source.Almost everyone has the potential to become wiser，particularly if you strengthen these habits.APracticing being open­minded.BSharing good news with your friends.CBut researchers have tried and here are what they've found.DRecognizing your errors can lead only to even greater wisdom.EMake an effort to join a new club，or invite an old friend for coffee.FYou do not have to admit your mistakes if you are really unwilling to.GYou cannot make balanced choices unless you unde­rstand world circumstances.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文主要介紹了如何變得更有智慧。1解析：空處承接下文，且與上文在邏輯上有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，在文章中起承上啟下的作用，所以選C項(xiàng)，介紹研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)的變得更有智慧的方法。答案：C2解析：根據(jù)“Working at being social.”并結(jié)合下文中的“Next time you're at a party or gathering，single out someone who's standing alone and strike up a conversation.”可知，空處舉例說(shuō)明人們要參加社交活動(dòng)，提升智慧，故選E項(xiàng)。答案：E3解析：根據(jù)本段中的“Opening your mind means realizing that everyone has a life story that influences their actions.”并結(jié)合本段的整體內(nèi)容可推知，本段主要鼓勵(lì)人們要思想開(kāi)明，所以選A項(xiàng)。答案：A4解析：根據(jù)“Learning how to say I could be wrong”和空后一句可知，承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤會(huì)讓人更加有智慧，所以選D項(xiàng)。答案：D5解析：結(jié)合“Reading the news.”并根據(jù)本段整體內(nèi)容可推知，閱讀新聞會(huì)讓人們對(duì)周圍甚至整個(gè)世界有一定的了解，這也會(huì)讓人變得更有智慧，所以選G項(xiàng)。答案：G.語(yǔ)法填空When I was an international student in China，I was lucky to experience Chinese New Year.The build­up was exciting as everywhere 1.
