Puerto Rican Cuisine(菜肴)

Puerto Rico, a Caribbean(加勒比海区)island rich in history and remarkable for natural beauty, has
a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民)to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all
over the world making various contributions to it.However,before the arrival of these immigrants,the Taino
people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents(啮齿动物),fresh
shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.
Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking,but it has been heavily influ-
enced by the Spanish,who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508,and Africans,who were initially brought to Puerto
Rico to work as slaves.Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to
create new dishes.The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle,pigs,goats,and sheep to the
island.Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful,contrasting tastes in dishes.

In fact,much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for coffee,coconuts,and oranges一was actually im--
ported by foreigners to the island.
A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy(辛辣的).it' s
true that chili peppers are popular;aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans
enjoy. However, milder(微辣的)tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. As the base of many Puerto Rican
dishes,sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions,green bell peppers,sweet chili peppers,and a handful
of other spices.It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.

In the first paragraph the word"it"refers to_____________.
A:immigration
B:Caribbean history

  • 第3题:

    回答 68 ~ 71 题: D Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city.It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage(遗产)Site.

    I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey.Blanketed in mist(薄雾),Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming.When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.

    As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries(美术馆)than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world.Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.

    As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub(酒馆). It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.

    Being a World Heritage Site , my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value.It is a treasure nouse with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

    第13题:Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by________

    A. its charming banks

    B. its famous museums

    C. its wonderful palaces

    D. its attractive buildings


    正确答案:
    D

    The National Trust
    The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government,it is not a rich government department.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.
    The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian,who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4,500-acre park and estate surrounding it.This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust'5 "Country House Scheme".Under this scheme,with the help of the Government and the general public,the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses.Last year,about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses,usually at a very small charge.
    In addition to country houses and open spaces,the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills,nature reserves,540 farms and nearly 2,500 cottages or small village houses,as well as some complete villages.In these villages no one is allowed to build,develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style.Over 4,000 acres of coastline,woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace,beauty and wildlife.
    Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life.It helps to preserve all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.

    We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Lord Lothian_______.
    A:donated all his money to the Trust
    B:started the"Country House Scheme"
    C:saved many old country houses in Britain
    D:was influential in his time

    答案:D
    解析:
    本文主要讲述了英国非盈利性组织Trust(国家托管委员会)对英国未遭破坏的乡村和历乡上著名建筑的保护,使人们能够通过参观和游览这些地方领略英国的历史和文化传统。
    由文章第一段第三句和第四句话“It is a voluntary association of people...It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.”可知,Trust是英国的非盈利性组织……它是-个慈善机构,靠公众自愿支持它才得以生存。故选B。
    由文章第-段第-句、第三句和最后-句话可知,Trust的主要职责是保护英国保存完好的乡村遗迹和具有历史意义的建筑。故选D。
    由文章第二段Lord Lothian 去世后,把他名下的17世纪的房子、城堡、公园以及周围的庄园捐献给Trust,此事大大地吸引了公众的注意力,同时使Trust开始实行“乡村房屋计划”,可以推测出Lord Lothian 在他所生活的时代具有-定的影响力。故选D。
    由文章第二段最后-句话可知选项B说法正确,由文章第三段最后-句话可知选项C说法正确,由文章最后一段第-句话可知选项D说法正确。从文章中无法推断Trust在保护16世纪的房子方面更感兴趣。故选A。
    由文章最后-段中“…but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.”可知,每年涌入英国的数百万游客能领略到英国的历史和文化传统。"invade”在这里是“涌入”的意思。故选C。

    Mt. Desert Island

    The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world.A straight line running from the
    southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles.If you followed the
    coastline between these points,you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of
    what is called a drowned coastline._________(46)At that time,the whole area that is now Maine was part of
    a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier(冰川)descended , however , it expended
    enormous force on those mountains,and they sank into the sea.
    As the mountains sank,ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land,forming a series
    of twisting inlets and lagoons(咸水湖).The highest parts of the former mountain range,nearest the shore,
    remained as islands._________(47)Marine fossils found here were 225 feet above sea level,indicating the
    level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.
    The 2,500-mile-long rocky coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly two thousand islands. Many of
    these islands are tiny and uninhabited,but many are home to thriving communities.Mt. Desert Island is one
    of the largest,most beautiful of the Maine coast islands.Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles.Mt.Desert was
    essentially formed as two distinct islands._________(48)
    For years,Mt. Desert Island,particularly its major settlement,Bar Harbor,afforded summer homes for the
    wealthy.Recently though,Bar Harbor has become a rapidly growing arts community as well.But,the best part
    of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park.Because the island sits on the
    boundary line between the temperate(温带)and sub-Arctic zones , the island supports the plants and ani-
    mals of both zones as well as beach , inland , and alpine(高山的)plants. _________( 49 ) The establishment
    of Acadia National Park in 1916 means that this natural reserve will be perpetually available to all people,not
    just the wealthy.Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy
    camping,cycling,and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the archeological museum,learning about
    the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.
    The best view on Mt.Desert Island is from the top of Cadillac Mountain._________(50)From the sum-
    mit,you can gaze back toward the mainland or out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplate the beauty
    created by a retreating glacier.

    _________(49)
    A:This mountain rises 1,532 feet,making it the highest mountain on the Atlantic seaboard.
    B:It is split almost in half by Somes Sound,a deep and narrow stretch of water,seven miles long.
    C:The wealthy residents of Mt.Desert Island selfishly kept it to themselves.
    D:Mt. Desert Island is one of the most famous of all the islands left behind by the glacier.
    E:The term comes from the activity of the ice age.
    F: It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.

    答案:F
    解析:
    下面提到了“At that time”和冰川融化,可知这一句应该与冰河时期有关,故选E。
    由空格的前后提示可知选B。
    因为空前讲到了Mt.desert,后文就应该是关于Mt.Desert的。
    前面讲到植物、动物等,故选F。
    上一句提到了“the top of Cadillac Mountain”,下句应介绍山的高度,故选A。

    Puerto Rican Cuisine(菜肴)

    Puerto Rico, a Caribbean(加勒比海区)island rich in history and remarkable for natural beauty, has
    a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民)to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all
    over the world making various contributions to it.However,before the arrival of these immigrants,the Taino
    people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents(啮齿动物),fresh
    shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.
    Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking,but it has been heavily influ-
    enced by the Spanish,who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508,and Africans,who were initially brought to Puerto
    Rico to work as slaves.Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to
    create new dishes.The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle,pigs,goats,and sheep to the
    island.Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful,contrasting tastes in dishes.

    In fact,much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for coffee,coconuts,and oranges一was actually im--
    ported by foreigners to the island.
    A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy(辛辣的).it' s
    true that chili peppers are popular;aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans
    enjoy. However, milder(微辣的)tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. As the base of many Puerto Rican
    dishes,sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions,green bell peppers,sweet chili peppers,and a handful
    of other spices.It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.

    What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
    A:Taino dishes are important in Puerto Rican cooking.
    B:Food imported by foreigners isn't really Puerto Rican.
    C:Puerto Rican cooking has many outside influences.
    D:African foods have probably had the most influence.

    答案:C

    第一篇
    The National Trust
    The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government,it is not a rich government department.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.
    The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian,who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4,500-acre park and estate surrounding it.This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust'5 "Country House Scheme".Under this scheme,with the help of the Government and the general public,the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses.Last year,about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses,usually at a very small charge.
    In addition to country houses and open spaces,the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills,nature reserves,540 farms and nearly 2,500 cottages or small village houses,as well as some complete villages.In these villages no one is allowed to build,develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style.Over 4,000 acres of coastline,woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace,beauty and wildlife.
    Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life.It helps to preserve all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.

    All the following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT_______.
    A:the Trust is more interested in protecting the 16th century houses
    B:many people came to visit the historic houses saved by the Trust
    C:visitors can get free access to some places owned by the Trust
    D:the Trust has a history which is longer than 80 years

    答案:A
    解析:
    本文主要讲述了英国非盈利性组织Trust(国家托管委员会)对英国未遭破坏的乡村和历乡上著名建筑的保护,使人们能够通过参观和游览这些地方领略英国的历史和文化传统。
    由文章第一段第三句和第四句话“It is a voluntary association of people...It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.”可知,Trust是英国的非盈利性组织……它是-个慈善机构,靠公众自愿支持它才得以生存。故选B。
    由文章第-段第-句、第三句和最后-句话可知,Trust的主要职责是保护英国保存完好的乡村遗迹和具有历史意义的建筑。故选D。
    由文章第二段Lord Lothian 去世后,把他名下的17世纪的房子、城堡、公园以及周围的庄园捐献给Trust,此事大大地吸引了公众的注意力,同时使Trust开始实行“乡村房屋计划”,可以推测出Lord Lothian 在他所生活的时代具有-定的影响力。故选D。
    由文章第二段最后-句话可知选项B说法正确,由文章第三段最后-句话可知选项C说法正确,由文章最后一段第-句话可知选项D说法正确。从文章中无法推断Trust在保护16世纪的房子方面更感兴趣。故选A。
    由文章最后-段中“…but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.”可知,每年涌入英国的数百万游客能领略到英国的历史和文化传统。"invade”在这里是“涌入”的意思。故选C。

    波多黎各是加勒比海地区的一个岛屿,历史悠久,自然风光优美,具有风味独特的菜肴。来自世界各地的移民为菜肴的形成贡献了力量,帮助这里形成了自己的烹饪风格。然而,移民到来之前,泰诺人生活在波多黎各岛,他们的菜肴包括啮齿动物、新鲜贝类和玉米油炸鱼。
    今天泰诺人的烹饪方式还存在于波多黎各人的烹饪中,但是深受1508年入侵当地的西班牙人影响,同时还受到被带到这里做奴隶的非洲人的影响。泰诺人的烹调风格与西班牙人和非洲人的烹饪想法融合在一起,进而形成了新的菜肴。西班牙人带来了牛、猪和羊,从而增加了食材的范围,非洲人使菜肴的口感强烈,对比鲜明,增加了这里的食品文化。事实上,波多黎各的很多食物以咖啡、椰子和橘子闻名,而这些都是外国人带来的。
