English breakfast is a very
1 meal—eggs, tomatoes, tea, coffee...
For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities there are

On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch. They have chicken, pork, potatoes, vegetables... The Englishmen like food from

【分析】
这篇完形填空围绕英国饮食文化展开,解题需结合上下文语境和语法知识逐一分析:
1. 第1空:根据后文列举的eggs, tomatoes, tea, coffee等多种食物,可知英国早餐品类丰富,要选表示“丰盛”的选项。
2. 第2空:空后是可数名词复数sandwich shops,需选择能修饰可数名词复数且符合“城市里三明治店多”语境的词,辨析各选项的用法差异。
3. 第3空:考查三餐相关的固定搭配,“for+三餐”是表示“作为某餐”的常用结构,据此判断选项。
4. 第4空:根据后文“It is a drink and a meal”的解释,可知“Tea”包含两种含义,需选对应数词。
5. 第5空:空后是可数名词复数countries,需选择能直接修饰名词复数的词,区分other、others等代词的用法。
【解析】
1. 第1题:A“easy(容易的)”、B“simple(简单的)”、D“small(小的)”均不符合后文多种食物体现的早餐丰盛的语境,C“big(丰盛的)”符合题意,故选C。
2. 第2题:A“not many(不多)”与城市里三明治店数量多的语境矛盾;B“much”仅可修饰不可数名词;C“a lot”后需加of才能修饰名词;D“lots of”可修饰可数名词复数和不可数名词,适配sandwich shops(可数复数),故选D。
3. 第3题:“for lunch”是固定搭配,意为“作为午餐”,符合“购买食物作为午餐”的语境,故选C。
4. 第4题:由后文“It is a drink and a meal”可知“Tea”有两种含义,A“many(许多)”、B“some(一些)”、D“all(所有)”均不符合,C“two(两个)”正确,故选C。
5. 第5题:B“others”、D“the others”后不能直接加名词;C“another”后接可数名词单数;A“other”后可接可数名词复数,“other countries”表示“其他国家”,符合题意,故选A。
【答案】
1. C 2. D 3. C 4. C 5. A
【知识点】
1. 三餐固定搭配
2. 代词用法辨析
3. 语境词义推断
