D．Amazingcookingskills.〖解析〗词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句中的“Thissmallsnacksymbolizessomanyimportantelements”可知goodness是指Thissmallsnack，即“arancinidiriso(Italianriceballs)”。故A选项正确。4．Whatisthetextmainlyabout？BA.Whylearningtocookisimportantforamother.B．Howthefamilyheritageistaughtthroughfood.C．Howchildhoodexperienceschangeone'slife.D．Whymothersareimportantinchildren'seducation.〖解析〗主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了作者生在异乡，母亲让她用剩米饭学做意大利家庭传统小吃，继承了母亲节约粮食的美德，从而让作者认识自我。从文章第一段中的“manyofherfamily'straditions”，第三段中的“Oneofmyfamily'sdishesofheritage”的关键词也能提炼文章的主旨大意。B(2021·安徽省合肥一中等六校教育研究会第二次联考)TheAmericandreamisthefaithheldbymanypeopleintheUnitedStatesofAmericathatthroughhardwork,courage,creativityanddetermination,theycanachieveabetterlifeforthemselves.Morespecifically,theyagreeonhowtogetaheadinAmerica:getacollegeeducation,findareliablejob,andbuytheirownhouse.ButdoAmericansstillbelieveinthatpath,andiftheydo,isitattainable?ThemostrecentNationalJournalpollaskedparticipantsabouttheAmericandream,whatittakestoachievetheirgoal,andwhetherornottheyfeltthecontrolovertheirabilitytobesuccessful.Obviously,theresultsshowthattoday,theideaoftheAmericandreamandwhatittakestoachieveitlooksquitedifferentfromitdidinthelate20thcentury.Generallyspeaking,peoplefeltthattheiractionsandhardworknotoutsideforcedecidingtheirlives.Buttheparticipantshaddefinitelymixedfeelingsaboutwhatactionsmakeforabetterlifeinthecurrenteconomy.Inthelastsevenyears,Americanshavegrownmorepessimistic(悲观的)aboutthepowerofeducationtoleadtosuccess.Eventhoughtheyseegoingtocollegeasafairlyachievablegoal,amajority52percentthinkthatyoungpeopledonotneeda4-yearcollegeeducationinordertobesuccessful.MiguelMaeda,42,whohasamaster'sdegreeandworksinpublichealth,wasthefirstinhisfamilytogotocollege,whichhasallowedhimtoachieveasenseoffinancialstability(稳定)hisparentsandgrandparentsneverdid.Whilesome,likeMaeda,emphasizedthevalueofdegreeratherthantheeducationitself,othersstillseecollegeasawaytogainnewviewpointsandlifeexperiences.ToFendley,asenseofdriveandpurpose,aswellasaneffectivehigh-schooleducation,andbasiclifeskills,likebalancingacheckbook(支票簿),arethenecessaryelementsforasuccessfullifeinAmerica.文章大意：这是一篇新闻报道。美国《国家期刊》最近的一项关于美国梦的民意调查表明在过去的几十年里，美国人的美国梦的理念和实现它所需要的因素发生了变化。他们认为大学教育在取得成功中所起的作用不再像过去那样重要了。5．ItusedtobecommonlyacknowledgedthattosucceedinAmerica,onehadtohaveB.A．asenseofdriveandpurposeB．anadvancedacademicdegreeC．afirmbeliefintheirdreamD．anambitiontogetahead〖解析〗细节理解题。由第一段“Morespecifically,theyagreeonhowtogetaheadinAmerica:getacollegeeducation,findareliablejob,andbuytheirownhouse.”可知，更具体地说，他们就如何在美国获得成功达成了一致的意见：接受大学教育，找到一份稳定的工作，买他们自己的房子。所以过去人们普遍认为，要想在美国取得成功，就必须有高学位。故B选项正确。6．WhatisthefindingofthelatestNationalJournalpollconcerningtheAmericandream？DA．MoreandmoreAmericansarefindingithardtorealize.B．ItremainsaliveamongthemajorityofAmericanpeople.C．AnincreasingnumberofyoungAmericansareabandoningit.D．Americans'ideaofithaschangedoverthepastfewdecades.〖解析〗推理判断题。由第二段“theresultsshowthattoday,theideaoftheAmericandreamandwhatittakestoachieveitlooksquitedifferentfromitdidinthelate20thcentury.”可知，显然，结果表明，今天美国梦的理念和实现它所需要的因素看起来与20世纪晚期有很大的不同。所以判断出《国家期刊》关于美国梦的最新调查结果表明在过去的几十年里，美国人的美国梦的理念和实现它所需要的因素发生了变化。故D选项正确。7．WhatdoAmericansnowthinkoftheroleofcollegeeducationinachievingsuccess？DA．Itstillremainsopentodebate.B．Ithasprovedtobebeyonddoubt.C．Itismuchbetterunderstoodnowthanever.D．Itisnolongerasimportantasitusedtobe.〖解析〗推理判断题。由第三段“Inthelastsevenyears,Americanshavegrownmorepessimistic(悲观的)aboutthepowerofeducationtoleadtosuccess.Eventhoughtheyseegoingtocollegeasafairlyachievablegoal,amajority52percentthinkthatyoungpeopledonotneeda4-yearcollegeeducationinordertobesuccessful.”可知，在过去的七年里，美国人对教育决定成功越来越悲观。尽管他们认为上大学是一个相当容易实现的目标，但是52%的人认为年轻人不需要四年的大学教育就能成功。所以判断出美国人认为大学教育在取得成功中所起的作用不再像过去那样重要了。故D选项正确。8．Howdosomepeopleviewcollegeeducationthesedays？AA．Ithelpsbroadentheirminds.B．Itneedstobestrengthened.C．Itwidensculturaldiversity.D．Itpromotesgenderequality.〖解析〗推理判断题。由最后一段“Whilesome,likeMaeda,emphasizedthevalueofdegreeratherthantheeducationitself,othersstillseecollegeasawaytogainnewviewpointsandlifeexperiences.”可知，虽然像Maeda这样的一些人强调学位的价值而不是教育本身的价值，但其他人仍然把大学视为获得新观点和生活经验的一种方式。所以判断出，现在一些人认为大学教育有助于开阔他们的视野。故A选项正确。Ⅲ.短文改错(2021·江西赣中南五校第一次联考)DearPeter，I'mverygladtoreceiveyoure-mailaskingforinformationaboutthehostfamilywehavearrangedyoutostaywith.Locatinginabeautifulandquietneighborhood,thehousewasbigenoughtoenableyoutohavearoomofyourown.Apartfromtheconvenientpublictransportation,ourprivatecarwillmakeyourvisiteasy.BecauseallthefamilymemberscanspeakfluentlyEnglishandhaveoutgoingpersonalities,I'msureyouwillhavenotroublecommunicatewiththem.Aboveall,theyhostedtheAmericanstudentlastyear,throughthattheygainedlotsofexperience.Inadditionto,thehostesscookingwillguaranteeyouawonderfulchanceoftastingdeliciousChinesefood.Hopeyouenjoyyourstaythere.Yours，LiHua〖答案〗DearPeter，I'mverygladtoreceiveyoure-mailaskingforinformationaboutthehostfamilywehavearrangedeq\o(∧,\s\do8(for))youtostaywith.eq\o(Locating,\s\do8(Located))inabeautifulandquietneighborhood,thehouseeq\o(was,\s\do8(is))bigenoughtoenabl
