Unit 2The United Kingdom.阅读理解A(2018广西南宁第二中学月考)Belgium is divided into three communities.Each one has its own language and traditions.But the people of Belgium are united in their love for Belgian potato fries.The fries are prepared and sold the same way in all areas of the country.The Reuters news service reports that potatoes reached Belgium in the 16th century.But it was not until the 19th century that restaurants and others began selling fried potatoes throughout the country as a separate meal.Recently,a Belgian group launched a campaign aimed at getting the United Nations (UN) to recognize the popular treat.The group wants the UNs Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) to place the food on its cultural heritage(遗产) list.The UNESCO list recognizes more than 300 objects,beliefs and practices.They include Turkish coffee and the traditional Chinese theater known as Peking opera.The list also includes a dance,the Argentinian tango,and the singing of the Aka pygmies of the Central African Republic.UNESCO says the list is “made up of intangible heritage elements(非物质文化遗产元素) that help show the diversity of heritage and raise awareness about its importance”.Belgian potato fries are traditionally sold in a paper wrapper,or cone,in a “fritkot”.There are about 5,000 frikots in Belgium.That means they are 10 times more common as a percentage of the population as McDonalds restaurants in the United States.The national organization of fritkot owners says the small,often unfurnished buildings are much like Belgium itself.It says these buildings combine the countrys acceptance of disorder with a dislike of structures that all look the same.The group says 95 percent of Belgians visit a fried potato hut at least once a year.1.Belgian potato fries .A.were recognized by the UNESCOB.are well received in BelgiumC.are sold in all food storesD.didnt become a separate meal until the 16th century2.Whats the aim of the Belgian group?A.To place Belgian potato fries on the cultural heritage list.B.To prevent other countries producing Belgian potato fries.C.To show the diversity of Belgian foods.D.To prove the popularity of Belgian foods.3.Which of the following is NOT listed in the UNESCO list?A.Peking opera.

(mistake) judgement of his ability,4. (feel) that he was very poor at arithmetic,and it was 5. (use) to try.One day he became very angry at the teacher and the other students because they laughed when he said he knew how to solve a problem which 6. of the other students had been able to solve.Alder succeeded in solving the problem,which gave him confidence.He rejected the idea that he could not do arithmetic and was 7. (determine) to show them that he could.His anger and his new faith 8.(motivate) him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit.He now worked with interest,determination,and purpose,and he soon became 9. (extraordinary) good at arithmetic.He not only proved that he could do arithmetic,but 10.(learn) early in life from his own experience that if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose,he may astonish himself as well as others by his ability.语篇解读:本文介绍了Alfred Alder一次突破自我的经历。这次经历使他意识到只要有信心和决心,人就能成功。答案及剖析:1.what此处是宾语从句,从句中谓语thought缺少宾语,故用what。2.of此处是固定搭配expect too much of sb.,意思是“对某人期待太高”。3.mistaken此处修饰名词应用形容词。4.feelingfeel与主语he在逻辑上是主谓关系,表主动,用现在分词形式。5.useless结合上下文可知,此处表示“努力也是没用的”,故填useless。6.none结合上下文可知,此处表示“其他学生中没有一个人能够解决该问题”,故填none。7.determined此处是固定搭配be determined to do sth.,意思是“决心做某事”。8.motivated此处是叙述过去的事情,故用一般过去时。9.extraordinarily此处用副词修饰形容词。10.learned此处learn与proved是并列关系,故用一般过去时。.短文改错Dear students,good news for you!
