24.[C]细节理解题。根据第二段的“Ihavebeenkeepingthesejarslikeprecioustreasures.（我

一直把这些罐子当作珍贵的宝贝保管着。）”可知，阻止作者使用番茄酱的是作者太看重它

了。故选C。

takethemtothegaragewhentheywereripeenough.Theretheywerecleanedandboiled.（和这

个地区的其他意大利家庭一样，我们会在它们成熟的时候把它们送到车库。在那里他们被

清洗和煮。）”和第四段的“Havingbeenstewed（炖），wholetomatoeswerepassedthroughmy

器，把酱汁和外皮分开。罐子准备好了，我们往里面装满了酱汁和调料。罐子会热几天，

密封以保持自身的热量。然后将它们排列好，准备使用。户可知，第3段和第4段主要讲

的是番茄酱的制作，故选D。

26.[A]推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Youshouldusetheseortheywillgotowaste.（你应

该用这些，否则就浪费了。）”和最后一段的“Whatwillitfeelliketousethatlastjar?Itwould

meantheendofanera.Whoknows?Maybeit'stimetobringnewtraditionsintolife.（用完最

后一罐会是什么感觉？这将意味着一个时代的终结。谁知道呢？也许是时候把新的传统引

入生活了。）“可知，作者接下来最有可能做的是打开一个罐子。故选A。

27.[C]推理判断题。根据第二段的“Ihavebeenkeepingthesejarslikeprecioustreasures.No

matterhowhardItrytofindalternatives,nothingcompares.（我一直把这些罐子当作珍贵的宝

贝保管着。无论我如何努力寻找替代方案，都无法与之相比。户可知，作者对父亲做的番
