13、s personality vividly.CCulture and cuisine are closely related to each other.DCuisine only shows what people grow or raise in their region.答案CAfter reading the passage，please fill in the following blanks.The French author Jean Anthelme BrillatSavarin once wrote，“Tell me what you eat，and I will tell

14、you what you are，”1.which means “You are what you eat.” In fact，BrillatSavarin was actually 2.referring(refer) to our personality，character，and culture.In many ways，this seems to be true.Chinese cuisine is a case in point.China is a country with vast 3.areas(area) and a large population.So the food

17、lly know the other.1Put more simply，this means “You are what you eat.”句式分析 该句为复合句。Put more simply为过去分词短语在句中作状语；this 代指“Tell me what you eat，and I will tell you what you are.” 。这句话与动词put 构成动宾关系。该句的完整表达是If this sentence is put more simply，it means “You are what you eat.”自主翻译更简单一点说，这句话的意思是“人如其食”。 2On t

18、he other hand，it does tell us a lot about Americans.句式分析本句为强调句，强调谓语动词。在英语句式中，若对谓语动词进行强调，则在其前根据具体情况加上do，does 或 did，谓语动词用原形。自主翻译另一方面，它确实让我们对美国人有了很多的了解。3Tired，hungry，and not knowing a word of Chinese，we had no idea how to order，so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eat

19、en.句式分析该句是由so连接的两个并列分句组成的。在第一个分句中，Tired，hungry，and not knowing a word of Chinese作状语，表示当时“我们”所处的状态。在第二个分句中，we had ever eaten为省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词food。自主翻译又累又饿，一个汉字也不认识，我们压根儿不知道如何点餐，于是厨师在我们桌上摆满了食物，那是我们吃过的最可口的佳肴。4Later，I learnt that the most famous food in Shandong is pancake rolls stuffed with slice

20、d Chinese green onions.句式分析该句为复合句。句中stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions为过去分词短语作定语，修饰pancake rolls，相当于定语从句 which are stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions。自主翻译后来，我才知道山东最有名的美食是煎饼卷大葱。提示：文章中加灰底的词汇为本单元的词汇，请在阅读语境中牢记。.阅读理解AAt home，ordering food from a menu is a normal，everyday routine.I dont even g

31、d.People plan to think that what they eat is normal and what everyone else eats is strange.In most parts of Asia，for example，no meal is complete without rice but in England，rice is the exception and people prefer to eat potatoes.In the Middle East，bread accompanies every meal.Eating，like so many things we do，becomes a habit that is difficult to change.The Americans seem to like drinking lots of orange juice and coffee；the English prefer to drink tea four or five times a day；the Australians prefer to drink a lot of beer；the French like wine every day.People in different countries also li
