　　题号 答案 考查内容

　　解题依据 解题分析

　　1 A 逻辑推理，意义比较 交作文前的那个晚上，"意大利面条的吃法"吸引了我的目光。 "spaghetti"这个字使我记起(memory)在Belleville的叔叔家度过的一个夜晚。memory 记忆，回忆，指想起往事；thought 思考，思想；knowledge 知识, 学问, 认识；experience体验, 经历, 阅历。

　　2 A 语句结构 when引导表示时间的定语从句，修饰前面的an evening。

　　3 B 词义比较常识运用逻辑推理 商家做(make)好面条，叔叔买(get)来，然后煮(cook)好，最后晚餐招待(serve)我们。cook烹调, 煮；serve(为...)接待, 侍候, 招待，端上, 摆出(餐食)，开(饭)，上(菜)，斟(酒)；make制造；get获得，买到。

　　4 D 前后照应逻辑推理 在当时那些日子里，意大利面条是从国外进口的宴请食品。这是作者的回忆，作者说的是当时过去了的事情，用表示远指意义的指示形容词those。此题past 很具迷惑性，此题即使用past，前面也还得用those，their或定冠词the。last与文意不符。

　　5 A 逻辑推理前后照应 也没有一个(none)大人有过这样的经验。注意与前面的否定的句子之间的并列关系。none一个也没有，用于三者或以上的人或物；neither两者都不，用于两个人或物的场合。(网上下载C选项为earns，怀疑有误)。
