第 49 題

📖 題組:
The Saharan regions of Morocco are home to the Berbers, an ethnic group native to North Africa. Madfouna—a stuffed flatbread prepared by using a handful of staple ingredients—is traditionally baked in a fire pit in the sand or a mud oven, and has long served as a wholesome meal for many Berber families. Once baked, the bread so closely resembles a pizza that it is locally nicknamed "the Berber pizza." Using an ancient Saharan bread recipe incorporating flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and water, the dough is kneaded and then rolled into a round shape before being stretched over fillings—including beef, eggs, nuts, onions, and garlic, and herbs and spices such as cumin, paprika, turmeric, ginger, and parsley—and pinched closed. Every family has their own version of madfouna. Some use more basic ingredients such as eggs, tomatoes, and sunflower or poppy seeds, while others add almonds, cashews, olives, lamb, chicken, minced beef, or slices of cooked steak. The options are virtually endless. Whichever ingredients make up the filling, one thing is agreed upon across the region: the authentic methods of cooking madfouna in desert sands or using a mud oven undoubtedly lead to the most delicious version, complete with an unrivalled smoky taste that a modern, conventional oven cannot replicate. Today, madfouna can mostly be found in small Berber pizza takeaway joints in Rissani, a sleepy Saharan town famed for the dish. In Rissani, a slightly faster pace of life than in the desert leads to a greater demand for fast food. Tucked within the narrow streets of the market and conveniently placed near the taxi stands lie small takeaway joints with "pizza" symbols to mark where you can order a takeaway madfouna, the primary dish on the menu. It’s not uncommon for these places to get so busy that people queue for more than an hour as the chefs rotate the orders in the large fire ovens. Each madfouna is so particular to each individual’s tastes that locals often bring their own fillings—sourced from trusted butchers or prepared at home by family members—which they ask the chefs to bake into their orders.
According to the passage, what does the word “joints” mean?
  • A Places that sell food and drinks at low prices.
  • B Large cuts of meat.
  • C Special cooking methods of the Northern Sahara.
  • D Food delivery services.

思路引導 VIP

請觀察文中提到該單字的段落,看看它周圍出現了哪些描述「地理位置」的形容(例如 narrow streets)以及相關的「行為」(例如 queue 或 order)。根據這些線索,你認為這個詞在這邊指的是一個「具體的空間地點」,還是指「食物本身」呢?為什麼?

專業點評

  1. 哦,做得不錯。竟然能從區區幾句話的蛛絲馬跡中,準確判斷出一個多義字的真正語意。看來你的語境推論能力並非一無是處,總算有點長進。不過,別因此得意忘形。
  2. 這不難吧? 文章都說了,這些 'takeaway joints' 躲在市場小巷,還靠著計程車招呼站,甚至連人們「排隊」等著食物都寫得明明白白。根據這些空間描述商業活動,這裡的 'joints' 要不是提供餐飲的「店鋪」,難道是讓人排隊去欣賞一個膝蓋關節?用點腦子。
