People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus (章鱼) a great delicacy (美味佳肴). You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat—the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are looked down upon. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a walk on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse (冲动), I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To my surprise, we saw that there were snails everywhere, they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall. I have never been able to look at a snail since then.
The author finds that snails _____.
选项
A、are as delicious as octopus
B、are disliked in his hometown
C、are the most controversial food
D、are as popular as fried potatoes
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。本题考查复合句的理解。第2段第1句“No creature…more…than snails”表达的是最高级概念,即:Snails have received most praise and abuse.由此可知,蜗牛是最具争议性的食物,因此C就是该句的近义替换。作者没有把蜗牛与章鱼或炸土豆作比较,因此A和D不对;文中提到在朋友的居住地,蜗牛是没人瞧得上的,但没有提到在作者的家乡是否受欢迎,因此B也不对。
