Passage 1
（23-24高一下·江苏淮安·期中）There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand. 1
Not eating food dropped on a table
I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. 2 Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it. No one walks on it, sits on it or throws garbage on it. Why is it considered so dirty ” We don’t get it.
3
Westerners don’t want their food near the floor. Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get into the rice. I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor.
Eating dessert before a meal
Every Western child’s dream would be to live in China for the purpose that he/she could eat the dessert before they eat their main meal. I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. 4 Westerners would find that very strange.
Drinking hot water with your meal
Often, it has been my experience that many. Chinese will not have a drink (water, tea, etc. ) with a meal. But, when they do, it is usually hot water. 5 However, we westerners like cold water or cold drinks.

If you are an American in London looking for advice to help you adjust to the new environment, you are reading the right article.
2 It’s really something that may make you fall out of love with this magical city. Depending on which American state you live in, just like other big cities, the cost of living in London is one of the highest. It is one of the top complaints of people who just moved to London from the US, mostly if they came from smaller states.
Preparing your pocket to absorb the shock you will receive is not enough. Just like when in Rome, do as the Romans do, when you go to London, behave like the Londoners. 3 Let’s say you left your coat on the chair after dinner. A Londoner will say your coatis on the chair instead of telling you to pick it up. When you hear things like this, don’t be surprised, but live your life like them. 4
The last one is a seemingly odd one: learn to understand English. Don’t be surprised that you will not understand some of the things the Englishmen are saying. It is not because you don’t understand the language. 5 The names we call some common things also differ from theirs. To avoid being lost when speaking with most Londoners, prepare yourself to relearn the English you already know.

At one point, all food colorings got their colors from natural sources. 2 Insects and rocks were also often used as sources of food colorings. The natural world still remains a common source of many of today’s commercial colorings.

Passage 9
（23-24高一下·陕西咸阳·阶段练习）How Sociologists Define Culture
Sociologists recognize that culture plays a crucial role in our social lives. It is important for shaping social relationships, maintaining social order, and in shaping our actions and experiences in society. 1
In brief, sociologists define the non-material aspects of culture as the values and beliefs, language and practices that are shared in common. Expanding on these categories, culture is made up of our knowledge, common sense, the norms and morals; the symbols we use to express meaning and ideas. 2 It informs how we carry our bodies and interact with others; how we behave depending on the place, time and “audience”. Culture includes the practices we participate in as well, such as religious ceremonies and the celebration of holidays.
3 This aspect of culture includes a wide variety of things, from buildings, technological gadgets and clothing, to film, music, literature and art, etc. Aspects of material culture are more commonly referred to as cultural products.
Sociologists see the two sides of culture — the material and non-material — as closely connected. Material culture emerges from the non-material aspects. 4 But it is not a one-way relationship between the two sides. Material culture can also influence the non-material aspects. For example, a powerful documentary film might change people’s attitudes and beliefs. 5 What has come before in terms of music, film, television and art influences the values and beliefs of those who interact with them, which then, in turn, influence the creation of additional cultural products.
A．Material culture is composed of the things that humans make and use.
B．This is why cultural products tend to follow patterns.
C．Without culture, we would not have relationships or society.
D．Culture is also what we do and how we behave and perform.
E．In other words, what we value and believe influences the things that we make.
F．Culture is distinct from social structure and economic aspects of society.
G．It is composed of both non-material and material things.
Passage 10
（23-24高一下·广东广州·期末）Food is not just something that supports life, but tells us stories about who we are, what we value, and how we establish relationships. 1 .
Food and cultural identity are closely tied. The preparation and presentation of the traditional Japanese dishes like sushi are considered an art form. 2 Similarly, the use of spices in Indian cuisine reflects the country’s rich agricultural heritage and diverse regional flavors. Through food, individuals not only nourish their bodies but also nurture a deep connection to their cultural roots, cultivating a sense of identity and belonging.
3 A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, while a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. But it’s not just the vocabulary that matters. 4 When people are asked what comes to mind when thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast” while Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇)”. The French prize the dining experience whereas Americans lay an emphasis on what is entering the bloodstream.
Food consumed by one person alone is not a social food. However, when consumed by a group of people together or eaten in a religious ceremony, it brings people together socially. In human society, food is a means for people to establish relationships between one another. 5 For instance, in the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings to express the relationship between themselves and God.
In an increasingly interconnected world shaped by globalization, food not only helps preserve our culture but bridges cultural gaps, promoting understanding and appreciation across borders.
A．It offers us different perspectives to know about our culture.
B．Tradition is a word frequently referred to in their dictionary.
C．This bond can exist among individuals and religious groups.
D．A culture’s food vocabulary is also a window into its values.
E．They mirror people’s culturally rooted respect for artistic value.
F．It enables people to makes friends with each other while dining.
G．It is also the attitudes that are transmitted through language about food.

（23-24高一下·河北张家口·开学考试）London is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. 1 Although there are similarities between London and some cities of America, don’t expect it to be the same. If you are an American in London looking for advice to help you adjust to the new environment, you are reading the right article.
2 It’s really something that may make you fall out of love with this magical city. Depending on which American state you live in, just like other big cities, the cost of living in London is one of the highest. It is one of the top complaints of people who just moved to London from the US, mostly if they came from smaller states.
Preparing your pocket to absorb the shock you will receive is not enough. Just like when in Rome, do as the Romans do, when you go to London, behave like the Londoners. 3 Let’s say you left your coat on the chair after dinner. A Londoner will say your coatis on the chair instead of telling you to pick it up. When you hear things like this, don’t be surprised, but live your life like them. 4
The last one is a seemingly odd one: learn to understand English. Don’t be surprised that you will not understand some of the things the Englishmen are saying. It is not because you don’t understand the language. 5 The names we call some common things also differ from theirs. To avoid being lost when speaking with most Londoners, prepare yourself to relearn the English you already know.
A．The reason is their accents.
B．This way, you will not be left out.
C．Don’t forget where you come from.
D．To start with, prepare for the high cost of living.
E．That’s why we should avoid saying things in a direct manner.
F．However, for an American, living in this city comes with a price.
G．For instance, in London, people don’t ask anyone to do something directly.

A Londoner will say your coatis on the chair instead of telling you to pick it up.”（比方说，晚饭后你把外套落在椅子上了。伦敦人会说你的大衣在椅子上，而不是让你把它捡起来。）用具体的例子说明伦敦人委婉提醒的行为方式，G项“For instance, in London, people don’t ask anyone to do something directly.”（例如，在伦敦，人们不会直接要求别人做某事。）衔接上文，说明伦敦人的行为方式，并引出下文具体的事例证明，符合语境。故选G项。
4. 上文“When you hear things like this, don’t be surprised, but live your life like them.”（当你听到这样的事情时，不要惊讶，但要像他们一样生活。）说明明要像伦敦人一样生活，B项“This way, you will not be left out.”（这样做，你就不会被排除在外了。）顺接前文，做出总结。其中“This way”指代上文中的“live your life like them”，衔接恰当。故选B项。

5 Many governments around the world limit the types of things that can be used in food colorings. And different countries have different labeling (贴标签) systems for food colorings, which allow people to be clear what food coloring it is. Many countries also make certain rules and laws to deal with adding and creating food colorings illegally.

One study discovered a link between increased self-reported intake of carrots and a lower risk of colorectal cancer(直肠癌), which was published in the journal Nutrients in 2020.（根据某些研究，胡萝卜含有一些元素，可以降低患某些癌症的几率。 一项研究发现，自我报告的胡萝卜摄入量增加与结直肠癌风险降低之间存在联系，该研究于2020年发表在《营养素》杂志上）”是说胡萝卜对健康的好处。既然有这些好处，那么，下文就应该是建议多吃胡萝卜。所以，A项“Hence, please regularly eat them to promote overall health.（因此，请经常吃它们来促进整体健康）”填入空格处和上文形成顺接关系。故选A项。
3. 空格后的句子“Therefore, for the best results, peel your onions as little as possible before using them in cooking.（因此，为了达到最好的效果，在烹饪洋葱之前，尽量少削洋葱皮）”建议烹饪洋葱之前，尽量少削洋葱皮。为什么呢？D项“Interestingly, onions’ outer layers contain most antioxidant chemicals（有趣的是，洋葱的外层含有大部分抗氧化化学物质）”正好说明了原因。所以，D项填入空格处，符合题意。故选D项。
4. 空格后的句子“Eight grams of plant-based protein and more than 25% of the daily fiber intake are both found in one cup. Additionally, one cup has near to 100% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C and around 10% of the recommended daily intake of iron, vitamin B6, magnesium, and potassium.（一杯中含有8克植物蛋白和超过25%的每日纤维摄入量。此外，一杯的维生素C摄入量接近推荐每日摄入量的100%，铁、维生素B6、镁和钾摄入量约为推荐每日摄入量10%）”是说这种蔬菜中蛋白质等各种营养元素的含量，但我们不知道是哪种蔬菜，所以空格处的句子应该提到这种蔬菜，并且强调它含蛋白质等营养元素。所以F项“One of the vegetables with the highest levels of protein and fiber is green peas.（绿豌豆是蛋白质和纤维含量最高的蔬菜之一）”填入空格处，符合题意。故选F项。
5. 空格后的句子“Because of this, potatoes may appeal more to athletes searching for whole-food sources of carbohydrates while exercising.（正因为如此，土豆可能更能吸引那些在运动时寻找全食物碳水化合物来源的运动员）”是说，土豆会吸引那些在运动时寻找全食物碳水化合物来源的运动员。为什么呢？C项“According to one study, eating them while exercising is as good as consuming carbohydrate gels.（根据一项研究，运动时吃它们和吃碳水化合物凝胶一样好）”解释了原因。所以，C项填入空格处，符合题意。故选C项。
Passage 9
（23-24高一下·陕西咸阳·阶段练习）How Sociologists Define Culture
Sociologists recognize that culture plays a crucial role in our social lives. It is important for shaping social relationships, maintaining social order, and in shaping our actions and experiences in society. 1
In brief, sociologists define the non-material aspects of culture as the values and beliefs, language and practices that are shared in common. Expanding on these categories, culture is made up of our knowledge, common sense, the norms and morals; the symbols we use to express meaning and ideas. 2 It informs how we carry our bodies and interact with others; how we behave depending on the place, time and “audience”. Culture includes the practices we participate in as well, such as religious ceremonies and the celebration of holidays.
3 This aspect of culture includes a wide variety of things, from buildings, technological gadgets and clothing, to film, music, literature and art, etc. Aspects of material culture are more commonly referred to as cultural products.
Sociologists see the two sides of culture — the material and non-material — as closely connected. Material culture emerges from the non-material aspects. 4 But it is not a one-way relationship between the two sides. Material culture can also influence the non-material aspects. For example, a powerful documentary film might change people’s attitudes and beliefs. 5 What has come before in terms of music, film, television and art influences the values and beliefs of those who interact with them, which then, in turn, influence the creation of additional cultural products.
A．Material culture is composed of the things that humans make and use.
B．This is why cultural products tend to follow patterns.
C．Without culture, we would not have relationships or society.
D．Culture is also what we do and how we behave and perform.
E．In other words, what we value and believe influences the things that we make.
F．Culture is distinct from social structure and economic aspects of society.
G．It is composed of both non-material and material things.
【答案】1. G 2. D 3. A 4. E 5. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社会学概念中文化的各种形式以及内容。
1. 前文提到“It is important for shaping social relationships, maintaining social order, and in shaping our actions and experiences in society.（它对塑造社会关系、维护社会秩序、塑造我们在社会中的日常行为和经验都很重要。）”，后文提到“In brief, sociologists define the non-material aspects of culture as the values and beliefs, language and practices that are shared in common.（简而言之，社会学家将文化的非物质方面定义为共有的价值观、信仰、语言、交流和实践。）”社会学家提到了文化在非物质方面表现为价值观、信仰、语言等，由此可知文化在社会学表现为物质和非物质方面。G项“It is composed of both non-material and material things.”（它由非物质的和物质的东西组成。）可作为第一段的段尾句同时引起第二段关于文化两个方面的内容，起到承上启下的作用。故选G。
2. 后文提到“It informs how we carry our bodies and interact with others; how we behave depending on the place, time and “audience”. Culture includes the practices we participate in as well, such as religious ceremonies and the celebration of holidays.（它体现在我们如何携带我们的身体和与他人互动；我们的行为取决于地点、时间和“观众”。文化也包括我们参与的实践，如宗教仪式和节日庆祝。）”，由此判断，人们的一些行为也是根据文化本身而进行的。D项“Culture is also what we do and how we behave and perform.”（文化也是我们所做的以及我们的行为和表现。）该项提到的“行为和表现”对应后文中出现的“与他人互动”等，起到承上启下的作用。故选D。
3. 第三段第二句提到“This aspect of culture includes a wide variety of things, from buildings, technological gadgets and clothing, to film, music, literature and art, etc. (这方面的文化包括各种各样的东西，从建筑、科技产品和服装，到电影、音乐、文学和艺术等等。)”，通过建筑、科技等方式体现的文化指的是文化的物质方面，A项“Material culture is composed of the things that humans make and use.”（物质文化是由人类制造和使用的东西组成的。）提到的“由人类制造和使用的东西”，指的是后文中提到的“建筑、科技产品、服装”等。由此判断该项起到引起后文的作用。故选A。
4. 前文提到“Material culture emerges from the non-material aspects.（物质文化产生于文化的非物质方面。）”，说明文化的物质和非物质方面是相互影响的，尤其是非物质方面会影响物质方面，E项“In other words, what we value, believe and know influences the things that we make.”（换句话说，我们所重视的、相信的和知道的影响着我们所做的事情）提到的“what we value, believe and know ”（我们所重视的、相信的和知道的）即为文化的非物质方面，该项起到承上启下的作用，故选E。
5. 前文提到“a powerful documentary film might change people’s attitudes and beliefs.”（一部好的纪录片可能会改变人的态度和信仰），后文提到“What has come before in terms of music, film, television and art influences the values and beliefs of those who interact with them, which then, in turn, influence the creation of additional cultural products.”（在音乐、电影、电视和艺术方面出现的东西影响着与它们互动的人的价值观和信仰，而这些价值观和信仰又反过来影响着其他文化产品的创造。）说明音乐、电影、电视等方面出现的都是属于文化产品，而价值观、信仰和期望又会对文化产品的创造产生影响。由此判断文化产品的产生也是受一定价值观、信仰等方面的影响。B项“This is why cultural products tend to follow patterns.”（这就是为什么文化产品倾向于遵循模式。）起到承上启下的作用，符合文意。故选B。
Passage 10
（23-24高一下·广东广州·期末）Food is not just something that supports life, but tells us stories about who we are, what we value, and how we establish relationships. 1 .
Food and cultural identity are closely tied. The preparation and presentation of the traditional Japanese dishes like sushi are considered an art form. 2 Similarly, the use of spices in Indian cuisine reflects the country’s rich agricultural heritage and diverse regional flavors. Through food, individuals not only nourish their bodies but also nurture a deep connection to their cultural roots, cultivating a sense of identity and belonging.
3 A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, while a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. But it’s not just the vocabulary that matters. 4 When people are asked what comes to mind when thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast” while Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇)”. The French prize the dining experience whereas Americans lay an emphasis on what is entering the bloodstream.
Food consumed by one person alone is not a social food. However, when consumed by a group of people together or eaten in a religious ceremony, it brings people together socially. In human society, food is a means for people to establish relationships between one another. 5 For instance, in the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings to express the relationship between themselves and God.
In an increasingly interconnected world shaped by globalization, food not only helps preserve our culture but bridges cultural gaps, promoting understanding and appreciation across borders.
A．It offers us different perspectives to know about our culture.
B．Tradition is a word frequently referred to in their dictionary.
C．This bond can exist among individuals and religious groups.
D．A culture’s food vocabulary is also a window into its values.

（23-24高一下·陕西汉中·期末）Interesting Eating Habits From Different Countries
Among one of the joys of traveling abroad is the exposure to different types of cuisines. Here we provide some eating habits that could benefit you when traveling to a foreign country.
Britain
1 In England, the term “dinner” can refer to the afternoon meal, or lunch as some of us know it. What we know as dinner is sometimes called tea or supper, depending on how late it is consumed. The most common time for tea is at four o’clock in the afternoon. Supper is generally a lighter meal taken later in the evening.
China
The use of chopsticks when eating Chinese cuisine is one that needs practice. To hold the chopsticks properly, first hold the first stick like a pencil, and the second stick between your thumb and your ring finger. 2
India
It is pretty widely known that Indians traditionally eat with hands. 3 Many urban Indians today, whether living in India or not, maintain the practice of eating with their hands.
Before settling down to begin your meal, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly first. Always eat with your right hand only. 4 Besides, make sure not to have any food touch your palms (手掌), and do not put your fingers into your mouth. Instead, use your fingers to push the food into your mouth.
Japan
In Japan, before sitting down to a meal, fresh hot towels are given to you to clean your hands. 5 It means “I’m going to start eating”.
A．When your orders arrive, it is also polite to say the phrase “itadakimasu”.
B．Let China’s food culture move toward the world.
C．There, dinner may not be the dinner that you and I know.
D．Eating with your left hand is considered disrespectful.

It was believed this practice would bring health and good luck to the people weighted. It is said those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer and those who weren’t would suffer illness.
Eating eggs.
In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was a prayer for good health. They put leftover tea into boiled water together with eggs and the original “tea egg” was created. Later people improved cooking methods and added spices to the eggs to make them taste delicious. 4
Taking care of the heart.

2. 根据上文“The Start of Summer was originated at the end of the Warring States Period. Since it is a key time for the harvest of summer crops, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties attached great importance to the Start of Summer.(立夏起源于战国末期。由于立夏是收获夏季作物的关键时刻，中国历代皇帝都非常重视立夏)”可知，本段主要介绍了立夏的起源和发展，故C选项“在周朝，皇帝鼓励他的居民抓住关键时间从事农业劳动”符合语境，故选C。
