What is it about Americans and food? We love to eat, but we feel【S1】______about it afterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re【S2】______with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity (肥胖). Perhaps the【S3】______to this ambivalence (矛盾情结) lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop (经济作物) wasn’t eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more【S4】______ways of doing it.
The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what "real Americans" eat, but our nation’s food has come to be【S5】______by imports — pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country’s most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation’s defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit-ins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political【S6】______. But strong opinions have not brought【S7】______. Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become【S8】______of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain.
The【S9】______in food is still prosperous in the American consciousness. It’s no coincidence, then, that the first Thanksgiving holds the American imagination in such bondage (束缚). It’s what we eat — and how we【S10】______it with friends, family, and strangers — that help define America as a community today.
A) answer B) result C) share D) guilty
E) constant F) defined G) vanish H) adapted
I) creative J) belief K) suspicious L) certainty
M) obsessed N) identify O) ideals
【S8】
选项
答案
K
解析
系动词become后应填入形容词,和后面介词of形成短语,be/become suspicious of的意思是“对……感到怀疑”。所以答案为suspicious。本句意为:我们怀疑我们的食物,尤其是当我们知道他们的成分时。
