Question

【題目】It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, we always think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, the following foods should never be placed in the fridge.

◆ Bananas

Bananas should never be placed inside the refrigerator because they keep nutrients better outside the fridge. Bananas are better kept on the counter until they ripen. The cold temperatures actually slow down the ripening process of the bananas, while the wetness and darkness of the fridge will only lead to rotting.

◆Potatoes

Potatoes should be placed in a cool, dry and dark space. The cold temperature of the fridge can turn starch (淀粉) into sugar more rapidly. It is also recommended that potatoes be removed from plastic or paper bags they may have been placed in. Also, keep them unwashed, as well in an uncovered cardboard box.

◆Garlic(大蒜)

Placing garlic in your refrigerator will actually cause it to shoot. The garlic will also rotten and even rubbery. Moreover, inside your fridge, the look of the garlic will rarely change. This means you won’t be able to tell if it’s any good until you finally slice it open.

◆Onions(洋蔥)

Placing your onions inside your refrigerator will eventually end up turning them rotten and soft. Unpeeled onions should be kept out of plastic bags and fridge. One of the reasons for this is because unpeeled onions require and need air exposure for maximum life. If you have peeled (剝皮) an onion though, then you should keep it in the fridge, in a covered container.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，題材為生活類。文章介紹了四種不能放入冰箱的東西，它們分別是香蕉、土豆、洋蔥和大蒜。比如大蒜放冰箱會(huì)變發(fā)芽，也會(huì)腐爛、變硬；還有，即使已經(jīng)壞了，從表面上也看不出來(lái)。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一個(gè)小標(biāo)題的第二句 the Bananas are better kept on the counter until they ripen可知，香蕉放入冰箱會(huì)阻止變熟，放在外面會(huì)變熟，自然會(huì)好吃。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二個(gè)小標(biāo)題的最后一句as well in an uncovered cardboard box可知，土豆應(yīng)該放在不封閉的盒子里。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一個(gè)小標(biāo)題的最后一句 If you have peeled(剝皮) an onion though, then you should keep it in the fridge, in a covered container可知洋蔥剝皮之后可以放在冰箱里。故選C。

細(xì)節(jié)題占多數(shù)，但需要的是一個(gè)細(xì)心。答案都是在文章中可以找到，而且往往答案都是在設(shè)問(wèn)內(nèi)容的附近。另外也可以通過(guò)排除法，一個(gè)一個(gè)選項(xiàng)匹配排除，最終得出最佳答案。當(dāng)遇到答案比較接近的時(shí)候，尤其需要細(xì)心。例如小題3，雖然文章介紹了四種不能放入冰箱的食物，但剝過(guò)皮的洋蔥除外。根據(jù)文章最后一段的最后一句可以得出答案。
