单元综合检测(三) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat－and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural(农村的)and urban areas within one country. Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion(时刻)or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread. Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺)in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake，which signifies(预示)success in the New Year for the person who receives it. Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity. Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了食物在交际方面起着重要的作用，共享食物可增强人们彼此间的团结与信任，某些特殊食物也是节日的象征。 1．According to the passage，sharing bread .
