　　People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat -- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.

　　No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collectsnails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag,and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To our dismay, we saw that there were snails everywhere: they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then.

　　1.[A] 詞義推斷題。解答本題的關(guān)鍵首先要理解repulsive前面的it是指上一句的octopus，由On the other hand可知第2句和第3句描述的是人們對(duì)章魚(yú)作為食物的兩種相反的反應(yīng)，而與a great delicacy相反的是A，故A為正確答案。

　　2.[B] 推理判斷題。在第2段中查找到作者有一天在陣雨后散步發(fā)現(xiàn)蝸牛爬在他那些prize plants上面，所以才突然有了去抓蝸牛的沖動(dòng)。理解prize在此意為“一流的，珍視的”，便可知作者當(dāng)時(shí)很生氣，由此可確定答案為B。

　　3.[C] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考査復(fù)合句的理解。第2段第1句“No creature...more...than snails”表達(dá)的是最高級(jí)概念，即：Snails have received most praise and abuse由此可知，蝸牛是最具爭(zhēng)議性的食物，因此C就是該句的近義替換。作者沒(méi)有把蝸牛與章魚(yú)或炸土豆作比較，因此A和D不對(duì);文中提到在朋友的居住地，蝸牛

　　是沒(méi)人瞧得上的，但沒(méi)有提到在作者的家鄉(xiāng)是否受歡迎，因此B也不對(duì)。

　　4.[A] 主旨大意題。文章第1句話其實(shí)是全文的主題句，說(shuō)明人們對(duì)于選擇吃什么、不吃什么是沒(méi)有什么章法的，暗示了人們?cè)陲嬍撤矫嬗写笙鄰酵サ南埠�，接著用了�?shù)個(gè)具體例子說(shuō)明，并著重以蝸牛為例，闡明這種差異。英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)“One man’s meat is another man’s poison”形象地表達(dá)了這一觀點(diǎn)。本題最具干擾性的是B，文章在第1段談到飲食有差異，這涉及到了culture,但作者并沒(méi)花太多筆墨描述各國(guó)不同的文化，因此，culture并非本文的中心。另外，D的表達(dá)與文章第1句很相似，但是D說(shuō)的是人們?cè)诿朗趁媲皶?huì)喪失理智，與第1句的意思其實(shí)相差甚遠(yuǎn)，且并非文章要闡明的主題。

　　5.[B] 推理判斷題。本題考查表語(yǔ)從句的理解。從第1段的最后一句中“most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods”可推斷B為不同的人喜好不同食物的最主要原因。A最具干擾性,它也是原因之一，但住在同一個(gè)地方的人也會(huì)有不同的飲食差異，所以還是因?yàn)榧彝サ脑�因所造成的�?/P>
