Question

【題目】 People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Because we might choose certain foods to 'tell' people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods, such as caviar (魚子醬) and lobster (龍蝦), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. 【1】

Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. 【2】Their personalities might be similar too. For example, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed to war.

【3】 One study shows that many fast food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. 【4】 Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is common picture of them.

Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign (星座) have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. 【5】 Aquarius (January 21 to February 19) can eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol (膽固醇) are sometimes problems for them.

A.They are also usually in a hurry.

B.Some people eat mostly fast food.

C.They know about the “better things in life”.

D.Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.

E.People's personalities have something to do with their parents.

F.Many people avoid alcohol, which makes the body lose too much water.

G.Sagittarius (November 22 to December 22) like ethnic foods from many different countries.

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要講述了素食者和食肉者在飲食方面的不同，以及他們?cè)趥�(gè)性方面所表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的差異。

【1】上文For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods, such as caviar (魚子醬) and lobster (龍蝦), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. (例如，一些人主要吃講究的食品，例如魚子醬、龍蝦，并且他們只去昂貴的餐廳吃飯)與C. They know about the 'better things in life'.(他們知道“生活中更好的東西”。)承接自然，選項(xiàng)中的they就是上文的some people，故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】下文Their personalities might be similar too.(他們的性格也會(huì)相似的)與D. Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.(素食者通常有很多的共同點(diǎn)，不僅僅是他們的飲食)承接自然，選項(xiàng)中的have more in common和下文的 similar近義詞，故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】下文One study shows that many fast food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians.(一個(gè)研究表明，很多吃快餐的人相互之間有很多共同之處，但是他們和素食者非常不同)與B. Some people eat mostly fast food. (一些人吃很多快餐)承接自然，fast food是關(guān)鍵詞，故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】上文They are competitive and good at business. (他們有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，擅長(zhǎng)做生意)與A. They are also usually in a hurry. (他們通常也很匆忙)承接自然，上下文都講述吃快餐的人的性格，且構(gòu)成明顯的并列關(guān)系，故選A項(xiàng)。

【5】G. Sagittarius (November 22 to December 22) like ethnic foods from many different countries. (射手座的人喜歡來(lái)自各個(gè)國(guó)家的民族食品)符合本段中心句Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign (星座) have similar food personalities. (還有人認(rèn)為同樣星座的人有相似的食物個(gè)性)的話題，Sagittarius和astrological sign是關(guān)鍵詞，故選G項(xiàng)。
