A.Sunday—BestTimeforFamilyB.SundayRoastDyingOutC.ThePerfectTimeforUsD.SitDownTogether答案:B解析:標題歸納題。依據第一段中的“ButnowthetraditionalSundayroastseemstohavebeenleftbackintheolddays.AccordingtotheDailyMail,justonein50Britishfamilieshasthisweeklymealtogether.”可知,英國每周一次的傳統活動“周日烤肉”好像已經成為過去。現在,只有五非常之一的英國家庭仍舊保留這個傳統。下文詳細介紹了導致這種現象的緣由。故選B項。2.WhydopeoplepaylessattentiontoSundayroast?A.Theyhaveabusylifestyle.B.Theyhavenointerestincooking.C.Theydon’tthinkitworthwhile.D.Theyarelivinginthemodernsociety.答案:A解析:細微環節理解題。依據其次段可知,在這個勞碌的現代世界里,人們好像沒有時間和耐性烤肉了。因此勞碌的生活方式是導致“周日烤肉”正在漸漸消逝的緣由。故選A項。3.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“it”inthelastparagraphreferto?A.Arecentarticle.B.Atraditionalkitchen.C.Thefineoldtradition.D.Thegoodfood.答案:C解析:代詞指代題。依據最終一段中的“TheSundayroastalsomakesforrelaxingmorningactivitiesinthekitchen,andthetablebecomestheperfectplacetosharegoodfoodandchatwithfamilyandfriends.”可知,“周日烤肉”有助于人們在廚房里放松,餐桌成為親朋好友共享美食以及閑聊的好地方。因此吃大餐只是“周日烤肉”的一部分,故it指的是“周日烤肉”的老傳統。4.HowdoestheauthorfeeltowardsSundayroast’sdyingout?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Sorry. D.Uncertain.答案:C解析:觀點看法題。依據文章對“周日烤肉”傳統的介紹,尤其是最終一段的敘述可知,該傳統活動是一個有利于家人和摯友溝通的好機會。所以對于這項傳統的漸漸消逝,作者深表缺憾。故選C項。五、完形填空WhenIwasateenagerIvolunteeredtopassoutwateratalocalrace.Iwassoexcitedto1allthedifferentrunnerswhopassedbyandquicklytookacupofwater.Somewalkedpast,somejoggedpastandafew2past.
