第八册Module 5同步验收题-阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。What do you think is typical “girl food” and “guy food”? Maybe salads and steak?Not even close.We asked Harry Balzer, vice president of the NPD Group research firm, to look at 30 years of data on what Americans eat.“Every day, since 1978, we have asked 3,500 people if they have gone to a restaurant and what they ordered,” Balzer said.The most common thing women order is French fries.No kidding. Women order fries more often than any other food. Heres another surprise: the second most ordered food by women is burgers, followed by pizza. A main dish salad comes in seventh.For men, the most ordered item is burgers, followed by French fries and pizza. A main dish salad is No 10.Still, Balzer says there are some differences in eating choices.“Men want to eat the same thing over and over, but women will try new things. Theyre more experimental. They like all those breads that men cant pronounce, like ciabatta and focaccia. ”Balzer says its not surprising that some of the fast food chains are promoting double and triple burgers in advertisements aimed at men. “Men figure if one is good, twos a lot better. Its why we have razors (剃刀) with five blades (刀).”56. Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined sentence “Not even close”?A. Far from the right answer.B. Completely right.C.

According to Balzer the fast food chains are promoting double and triple burgers aimed at men because men think that _.A. the abler a man, the busier he isB. a good beginning is half doneC. the more, the betterD. no pains, no gains60. From the passage we can conclude that _.A. typical “girl food” is salad; typical “guy food” is steakB. Harry Balzer has collected data for 30 yearsC. men dont like eating ciabatta or focacciaD. men like pizza as much as womenWhat is “American food”? At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a “sweet tooth”, you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of food you can find in America?Except for Thanksgiving turkey, its hard to find a typical “American” food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America, they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic (民族的) food in America. In some cases, Americans have adopted food from other countries as favourites. Americans love Italian pizza, Mexican tacos (玉米面豆卷) and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original!As with any large country, the USA has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Travel through Louisiana for some spicy (加香料的) Cajun Cuisine. Take a trip to New England and eat seafood dishes. Travel through the Midwest, “the breadbasket of the nation”, for delicious baked goods. Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet (美食家) coffee.Americans living at a fast pace often just “grab a quick bite”. Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course, one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between two slices of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favourite.61. Which of the following food can be called a typical American food according to the passage?A. Hamburgers. B. Thanksgiving turkey.C. Fried chicken.D. Apple pie.62. We can find almost every kind of ethnic food in the USA because _.A. Americans like eating different kinds of foodB. Americans learn to cook every kind of ethnic foodC. the United States is a land of immigrantsD. America is a large country63. If you want to taste country-style cooking in America, you are advised to go to _.A. the South B. New EnglandC. Louisiana D. the Southwest64. The underlined phrase “grab a quick bite” in the last paragraph probably means “_”.
