英语试题
第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分 40 分)
第一节(共15 小题；每小题 2分，满分 30 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you throw together a
bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our
favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have
happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.
POTATO CHIPS
One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s
Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out
of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum
was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and
fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the
restaurant.
TOFU
Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then
cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk,
which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example
of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.
CHEESE PUFFS
Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to
make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made
animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring
cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was
very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of
the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs!
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese.
B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking.
C. Hot wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air.
D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China .
2. What do the three foods have in common?
A. They are the results of complaints.
B
.
They were not created on purpose.
C. They weren’t originally made for people.
D. They are all popular throughout the world.
3. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To compare the features of some foods.
B. To inform readers of some foods.
C. To recommend some foods .
D. To introduce the origins of some foods.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D
【解析】

Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from
the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always
occupy the same spot on the table every time.
Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand
me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”
I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the
tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I
would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school.
That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting
shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d
already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why take the risk
and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going
downstairs to check on him.
Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet
the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags
into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then
took the comb and headed to the sink.
It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it
back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had
wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.
4. From the first three paragraphs, we can learn ________.
A. the precious green comb of Dad was made of jade
B. the earliest memories with Dad were full of joy
C. the author wasn’t willing to clean the comb for Dad
D. the author would study together with Dad every evening
5. What probably made Dad decide to resign from his original job to start his own business?
A. That he was fired and had to make a living.
B. That he was eager to get everything on track.
C. That he hoped to earn a better life for the family.
D. That he wanted to keep the life for his family stable.
6. What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years?
