23、y.

24、ced people to incorporate(接受) those crops in to the culture,” says Barber.

31、ection, becoming more localized, not globalized. ”得知，厨师丹说，各国的菜肴如：法国、墨西哥、中国和意大利的都包括自己的区域性的食物，美国的菜肴发展方向也是一样的，所以美国的菜肴也包含了多种当地的特色，故选A。10. 细节理解题。根据文意American cuisine is shaped by the natural wealth of the country可知，美国的菜肴是由国家丰富的自然资源塑造的，所以，美国农业的富足使美国菜肴和其它菜肴不同。故选D。11. 细节理解题。根据文意So if what we eat is what we

32、are, what are Americans?

Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do i

35、s learned through taking part in a sociocultural system.14. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society.

36、 the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest.15.

D根据上一句All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning.可知文

41、化的所有部分都会传给下一代，意味着所有的人类群体都有自己的文化。故D正确。14. B 根据下文列举的狼孩的事例可知，人类文化一定要通过参加社会体系才可以获得。这是对本段第二句话Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system.的证明，B项属于上下文的过渡句。15. E 根据上文the director of a childrens home was told by local villagers that

42、there were “ghost” in the forest.可知森林中有所谓的“鬼”存在。再看上一句one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest.可知这两个男孩实际上就是人们所谓的鬼。故E项符合上下文串联。16. C 本段是对上一段最后一句In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the olde

43、r child was named) and Amala (the name given to the younger child):中两个狼孩的外貌的描述，前面一句Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders.想叙述年纪大一点的Kamala，那么本句就是叙述年龄小一点的Amala。故C项符合上下文串联。17. F根据上句Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kind

44、s of human behaviorby taking part in a cultural community.可知在不同的环境对他们有了不同的影响，他们的身上既有人的行为也有狼的特点，故F项正确。III.完形填空I believe even the smartest people have to work hard to achieve success.
