30、ion puzzle video game released in 2001.”及上下文中的时间点1801、1962及1949可知,只有HotPotato是2000年以后的,所以只有它是最新的。故选C。2D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Mr Potato Head is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949.The toy consists of a plastic potato model and a variety of plastic parts like hands,feet,ears and mouths.”可知,Mr
31、 Potato Head是一种由各个部分组成的玩具,所以可以被拆分开。故选D。3B标题归纳题。文章讲述了在美国,土豆是最广泛食用的作物之一,但它不再只是食物,它有很深刻的文化韵味,产生了很多有趣的流行文化。故B项正确。D项范围太广。(二)4.A5.D6.C7.G8.B(三)语篇解读作者的童年处于经济大萧条时期,他母亲为了给他买参加毕业典礼的裤子当掉了结婚戒指,还不希望他知道这一真相。母爱如山!9A我就要小学毕业了,而母亲依旧(still)给我穿很短的衣裤。10C我的大多数同学都不穿(wear)短衣短裤了。11B所有的男生都得穿同样的着装。be expected to do.被期望做,被要求做,
