Thomas Adams changed the gum and marketed it as a candy.”Santa Anna給了兼職發(fā)明家Thomas Adams一些。Thomas Adams將口香糖改頭換面,將其作為一種糖果推向市場(chǎng)??芍猅homas Adams把Santa Anna給他的樹(shù)膠變成了口香糖。故選C。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Blibber Blubber was too sticky and it was also too difficult to remove the burst bubble from one39。s skin without using some special tools.”Blibber Blubber太粘了,不使用一些特殊的工具就很難把皮膚上破裂的泡沫去除??赏浦?yàn)锽libber Blubber的特性,Blibber Blubber最不受歡迎。故選D。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Pink was the only color which could be used at the time, and Dubble Bubble has remained pink ever since.”粉紅色是當(dāng)時(shí)唯一可以使用的顏色,Dubble Bubble從那時(shí)起一直保持粉紅色??芍?dāng)Dubble Bubble被發(fā)明出來(lái)的時(shí)候,它的特別之處是它是粉色的。故選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段中的“A history of bubblegum just wouldn39。t be plete without mentioning the gumball machine, which popularized gum. The first gumball machine came onto the scene in 1907 and sold sugarcoated chewing gum.”泡泡糖的歷史如果不提到普及了泡泡糖的口香糖機(jī)就不完整了。1907年,第一臺(tái)口香糖機(jī)問(wèn)世,并開(kāi)始銷售涂了糖衣的口香糖。以及文章的主要內(nèi)容是圍繞著泡泡糖的歷史展開(kāi),可知本文主要介紹泡泡糖的歷史。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。6.閱讀理解 A story posted by The New York Post Monday tells the tale of Katrina Holte, a Hillsboro woman who quit her job to cosplay a 1950s housewife. Let me start by expressing admiration to Holte for using her 2019 freedoms to follow her 1950s dreams. Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they spend their time. That39。s the future our foremothers fought for. But as much fun as I am sure she is having living a vintage (復(fù)古的) life, which literally includes watching shows like I Love Lucy and listening to vinyl recordings (刻錄碟片), I think it39。s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against. For example, once I called my grandma and asked her for her recipe for Cloud Biscuits, these delicious biscuits she used to make that we would cover with butter and homemade raspberry jam on Thanksgiving. Why would you want that? she said. Go to the store. Go to the freezer section. Buy some premade biscuits and put them in the oven. She straightup refused to give me the recipe, because it was hard and took a long time to make. In her mind, it was a waste of time. Getting off the phone, it occurred to me that spending every day of your life serving a husband and five children wasn39。t fun at all. And then there are the grandchildren who eventually e along demanding Cloud Biscuits, a whole new expanded set of people to feed. She was basically a slave to those hungry mouths, cooking scratch meals three times a day. When she wasn39。t trapped in the kitchen, she had to keep the house clean, make sure she looked good enough to be socially acceptable, and make sure her kids and husband looked good enough to be socially acceptable. And she had no days off. I know my grandma loves her kids and her grandkids, her husband and the life she led, but man, it must have been a lot of thankless, mindless labor. No wonder everyone went allin on processed foods when they came around. Imagine the nice break something like a microwave dinner would give a woman working, unpaid, for her family every single day? I also had another grandma. She was a scholar who helped found the Center for the Study of Women in Society at University of Oregon. She was a pioneering secondwave feminist who wrote books, gave lectures and traveled the world. But, she did all of that after divorcing my grandpa, when most of her kids were out of the house. Back then, in the 1950s and the 1960s, there was no illusion about women having it all. How could that even possibly happen? If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream. A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now. And of course, these women I am talking about are uppermiddleclass white women. Romanticizing the 1950s is especially disgusting when you think about how women of color and poor women were treated back then, and the lack of education and choices available to them. Because the women in this country demanded something approaching equality, Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky. We still don39。t have pay equality and in many states, we still don39。t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers. And while it39。s getting better, women are still expected to be responsible for the emotional labor of running a household and raising the children. But at least we can get jobs. At least we don39。t have to sew our own clothes, wear a full face of makeup every day and spend hours making Cloud Biscuits some ungrateful kid will wolf down, barely remembering to say thank you.(1)According to the author, what is the future our foremothers fought for?
