答案与题解: 1. C 问题问的是:美国父母总是叫他们的孩子干什么?文章开头说到,每个美国孩子都能从父母或爷爷奶奶那里听到这样的话,“吃光你盘子里的东西”,“做清盘俱乐部的成员”。这些话表达的意思就是不要浪费粮食。因此C是正确的答案。 2. A 问题问的是,美国饭馆为什么饭菜给得多?第二段相关的话是这么说的:美国人在传统上把东西值不值是跟数量联系在一起,因此大多数的饭馆给的量大。这些饭馆乐于让顾客们抱怨饭菜给的太多而不乐于让他们抱怨饭菜给得太少。所以A是正确的答案。 3.D 问题问的是:二十世纪七十年代发生了什么?文章第三段是这样说的:一位宾州大学营养教授,Barbara Rolls,告诉《今日美国》二十世纪七十年代饭馆给的饭菜的量开始增加,与此同时,美国人的腰围开始也增大。所以D是对的。 4. A 问题问的是:调查报告说明了什么?选项B、C和D多说的数字不对。因此惟有A是正确的。A说的是:许多美国穷人希望量大。这个信息可以在第四段中找到。相关的句子是这么说的:许多吃不起精美正餐的美国人仍然要量大。 5. C 问题问的是:下面的哪一种说法不符合美国工人的实际情况?C说的是:他们不想做吃得健康的人。这个说法是部队的。最后一段的第一句话是这么说的:美国工人不是不想做吃得健康的人。因此C正确。
