五、任务型阅读。
Why do instant(即食的) noodles have a curved(弯曲的) shape? In fact, the shape of noodles has nothing to do with their nutrition.
Most instant noodles are made through the processes of steaming and frying. This can make them quite fragile. The curved shape can help them get the anti-pressure(抗压) ability. Also, such a shape helps save money. The same cup can hold more curved noodles than straight ones, and the same quantity of curved noodles can take up less space than straight ones. Curved noodles have bigger spaces from each other, and this makes them have a better bath in hot water and gives them a better taste. Last but not least, when you use a fork or chopsticks, the curly shape is much more convenient(方便的) for you to eat the noodles.
(一)根据短文内容，完成下列句子。
1.
2. Straight noodles take up
(二)根据短文内容，选择正确的答案。
(
A. 芳香的
B. 易碎的
C. 坚强的
(
A. The production processes.
B. Their shape.
C. The use of chopsticks.
(三)根据短文内容，回答下面的问题。

【分析】
做这道任务型阅读题，可按以下思路推进：
1. 完成句子题：先明确题干需求，再回到原文定位对应信息。第1题，题干询问使方便面易碎的原因，可从第二段前两句找到蒸和炸的制作过程导致面条易碎的内容；第2题，对比直面条与弯面条的空间占用情况，可根据原文“相同数量的弯面条比直面条占空间更少”反向推断出直面条占用更多空间。
2. 选择题：第1题猜测“fragile”词义，结合后文“弯曲形状能帮助它们获得抗压能力”，可推断该词意为“易碎的”；第2题探究弯面条味道更好的原因，需定位到原文中弯面条形状带来的优势部分，明确是形状让面条在热水中更好浸泡从而提升口感。
3. 短语释义题：“Last but not least”是英语常见固定短语，结合上下文介绍弯面条最后一项优势的语境，可得出其汉语含义。
【解析】
(一)
1. 根据第二段第一、二句“Most instant noodles are made through the processes of steaming and frying. This can make them quite fragile.”可知，蒸（Steaming）和炸（frying）的制作过程让方便面易碎，故答案为Steaming, frying。
2. 根据第二段中“the same quantity of curved noodles can take up less space than straight ones”可知，相同数量的弯面条比直面条占空间更少，反之，直面条比弯面条占用更多空间，故答案为more space。
(二)
1. 由后文“The curved shape can help them get the anti-pressure(抗压) ability.”可知，面条需要抗压能力是因为本身易碎，所以“fragile”意为“易碎的”，选B。
2. 根据第二段“Curved noodles have bigger spaces from each other, and this makes them have a better bath in hot water and gives them a better taste.”可知，“this”指代弯面条的形状，是形状让面条口感更好，选B。
(三)
“Last but not least”是固定短语，结合上下文介绍弯面条最后一个优势的语境，其汉语意思为“最后但同样重要的”。
【答案】
五、(一)1. Steaming, frying 2. more space
(二)1. B 2. B
(三)最后但同样重要的
【知识点】
1. 信息定位提取
