Fried duck doesn't taste as good as fried chicken
On the menus of fast food restaurants, there always seems to be many fried chicken dishes. But have you wondered why there is no fried duck?
[A] 41
[B] Fried duck is not as cheap as chicken.
[C] Fried duck carries bad bacteria.
[D] Fried duck is not as delicious as fried chicken.
The right answer is [D]. Although chickens and ducks are both raised for meat, they have very different qualities.
42 Ducks live in places where there is a lot of water, making it easier for bacteria to grow. To protect themselves from the bacteria, ducks have special genes(基因). 43 While chickens' meat usually has 6.7% fat(脂肪), duck meat has about 19.7%. 44 Also, as duck meat has thicker meat fibers(纤维) and less water, the frying process will make it taste very dry.
45 Near the tail, there is a part that makes oil to keep them warm. This oil smells like sheep meat and can be unpleasant when the duck is fried.
A. They also help ducks grow fat.
B. Fried duck is difficult to make.
C. Moreover, ducks have a special smell.
D. If fried, the duck meat can taste very oily.
E. Different from ducks, chickens can't swim.
F. Fried duck is very popular among young people.
41. B
42. E
43. A
44. D
45. C

答案： 41. B 从上下文语境及句式的一致性分析，这里应是列举炸鸭不如炸鸡普遍的可能原因。B项“炸鸭更难烹制”符合语境。
42. E 下文聚焦鸭子的生长环境(多水环境)，此处需通过对比突出鸭子这一习性的特殊性。E项“与鸭子不同，鸡不会游泳”符合语境。
43. A 上文提到鸭子有特殊基因抵御细菌，下文对比鸡鸭脂肪含量差异，此处需衔接基因与脂肪的关系。A项“它们还帮助鸭子增长脂肪”符合语境。
44. D 上文强调鸭肉高脂肪，下文提到油炸后肉质干，此处需说明高脂肪在油炸后的口感表现。D项“如果油炸，鸭肉尝起来会很油腻”符合语境。
45. C 下文具体描述鸭子尾部附近油脂的特殊气味及油炸后的腥膻味，此处需总起“气味”这一话题。C项“另外，鸭子有一种特殊的味道”符合语境。

四、词语运用(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
A)选用方框内的单词或词组填空,其中有一个单词或词组是多余的。
expecting offered wet advantage
stranger ever since
46. Yesterday when I was on my way home, it suddenly began to rain, so I was all wet.
47. A car stopped beside me. The driver put the window down and offered me an umbrella.
48. "What a warm - hearted stranger!" I said to myself.
49. I accepted the umbrella and the man drove away. I have never seen him ever since.
50. The man has done good without expecting anything in return. I believe love is one thing you can't give away—it comes back to you!

答案： 46. wet 突然下雨，所以全身“湿透”。wet意为“潮湿的，淋湿的”，符合题意。
47. offered 司机停下车，开窗主动递给“我”一把伞，offered意为“提供”，过去式，符合语境。
48. stranger 句意:“多么热心的陌生人啊!”我心想。
49. ever since 设空处需填入时间状语，表示“从那时起至今”。ever since意为“从那以后”，符合语境。
50. expecting 句意:那人行善不“图”回报。
