Fortune cookies, commonly served after meals at Chinese
restaurants in the U.S., are characterized by a fortune, which
is written on a small piece of paper tucked inside the cookie.
There are several __31__ stories about the origin of the fortune
cookie. None of them, however, has been proven to be entirely true.
One of these stories __32__ the cookie’s origin back to 13th- a
nd 14th-century China, which was then occupied by the Mongols.
According to the legend, notes of __33__ plans for a revolution to
overthrow the Mongols were hidden in mooncakes that would ordinarily
have been stuffed with sweet bean paste. The revolution turned out
to be __34__ and eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty.
This story may sound highly credible, but there seems to be no solid
evidence that it inspired the creation of the __35__ we know of
today as fortune cookies.
Another __36__ claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living
in Los Angeles, created the fortune cookie in 1918. Concerned about
the poor people he saw wandering near his shop, he made cookies and
passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie __37__ a strip of
paper inside with an inspirational Bible quotation on it.
However, the more generally accepted story is that the fortune
cookie first __38__ in either 1907 or 1914 in San Francisco,
created by a Japanese immigrant, Makoto Hagiwara. The fortune cookie
was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe
to appeal to American __39__. He enclosed thank- you notes in the
cookies and served them to his guests with tea. Within a few years,
Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and
__40__ the thank-you notes with fortune notes. Such fortune cookies
became common in Chinese restaurants in the U.S. after World War II.
(A) account (B) appeared (C) competing (D) contained (E) replaced
(F) secret (G) successful (H) tastes (I) traces (J) treats
之前提到
先猜測並且分類詞性,再掃描適當的位置填入。但另一種很明顯的傳統
方法,就是直接填
直接填入法
例如 __40__ 的確可以直接填。
Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and
__40__ the thank-you notes with fortune notes.
這裡很明顯使用 replaced。意思是把 the fortune cookie 裡面的謝謝紙條
改為改為 fortune notes
這裡要補充的是,and 雖然很古老又非常「簡單」,但對解題來說,and 是非
常關鍵的 keyword。這裡第 40 格很明顯要填過去分詞,掃描答案長得像是個
過去分詞的就只有 (B) appeared (D) contained (E) replaced,而 had copied
複製了… 並以「thank-you notes」來取代 fortune notes 感覺非常的合理。
因此,一看完就想選 (E) replaced A with B
