初中英语文中细节试题

There is a popular Chinese saying that "Fair skin（皮肤） will make up for three flaws（缺陷）"． This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture， it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful． In Western culture， however， the opposite is true ﹣ many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier． The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful． These cultural meanings of the beauty， however， are no longer important． As more and more people travel overseas， ideas about beauty are being shared among cultures． The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media． The result is an ever﹣changing idea of what is considered beautiful．

    The cultural practice of ear piercings， for example， has become a part of modern day culture．

In Kenya， it is a tradition among Masai men and women to pierce and then make their ear

lobes（耳垂） longer using ivory and wood or stones． They then wear colorful things on their ear lobes． This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sigh of beauty． This tradition has now found its way into present﹣day culture． Nowadays， this might still seem unusual to some， but with more and more well﹣known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes， it will finally become more fashionable．

    It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty． However， since we now live in a worldwide society， people's views about beauty are always changing． With the help of the Internet， people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out． So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future？

（1）What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty　　？

A．The development of technology．

B．The popularity of the latest fashions．

Bananas are the perfect snack． Not only are they sweet and delicious， but they are easy to carry around， so you can take them anywhere． Best of all， bananas provide different things that the human body needs!

    Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain． They grow on plants that look like trees． The banana plant， however， is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesn't have a strong ， woody stem（干，茎）． The plants can grow as high as 30feet． When they reach their full height， flowers grow out from the stem． These flowers produce bananas．

    Two or three times each year， the plants produce fruit． The bananas grow together， which seem like "hands"． A hand is made up of 10to 20bananas． Growers sometimes call bananas "fingers"． Each bunch（丛） of bananas has about 15hands， and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200bananas and can weigh more than 100pounds．

    After about three months， the bananas are ready to be picked． At this point， they still aren't the sunny yellow color of bananas． Farmers pick them when they're green． That's how they're shipped to stores． They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold．

    If you love bananas， you've got a lot of company． Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876． Today， American eat more bananas than any other fruit． More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together． Every American eats over 26pounds of bananas each year!

Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste？ Believe it or not， that's exactly what world leaders did at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015．

    During the meal， the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown﹣away vegetables and fruits． Chef Dan Barber， who helped create the meal， hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the issue of food waste．

    It is a huge problem． One out of nine people on Earth does not get enough food． Yet every year over one third of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!

    How can you waste less food？ When eating out， you may ask for less food and take home what is left． Visit fast food restaurant less often， since they usually more wasteful． Encourage your favorite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks．

    You can also waste less food at home． Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice．

Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings． Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food．

    Food waste is a growing problem and we， either farmers or food sellers or customers， must take this problem more seriously and do what we can to help．

Elephants are the largest land animals alive today． African elephants live in family groups called herds（群）． All of the elephants in the herd take care of each other． The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant． She is the matriarch （族长）． A herd may have as few as eight or as many as 100 elephants． The other elephants follow the matriarch because she knows how to keep them safe from coming danger．

    Elephants learn by watching and copying other elephants， and also learn from life． Baby elephants stay with their mothers until they are fully grown at about ten years old． Elephants live to be 50 or 60 years old． Elephants are smart animals with long memories． In the dry season， a matriarch can remember where water was found in the past． The herd will follow her there． She can also remember the safest place for baby elephants to cross a fast﹣moving river．

    Elephants talk to each other with rumbling sounds． Some rumbling sounds are so low and deep that people are unable to hear them． Elephants hear sounds not only with their ears， but also with their feet， and even trunks （long noses of the elephants）． They also greet each other by touching with their trunks and feet． If danger appears， mothers beat their ears to call their babies to them．

    Other animals don't usually attack（攻击） elephants． However， a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby． If this happens， the adult elephants circle around the baby elephants． The adults make louder sounds and hit the ground with their trunks． The matriarch puts herself between the lion and the herd． She beats her ears out to make herself look even larger． Then she lowers her herd and attacks the enemy（敌人） in a big cloud of dust（灰尘）．
