n. 图解，插图
最大限度地利用
v. 确定，发现
插图（illustrations）是英语教材中常见的视觉信息呈现形式，它能反映特定的语言文字，为读者理解文章、获取信息提供途径。同学们在利用插图理解文章时应注意以下方面：
1. 不同体裁的文本材料中插图所呈现的内容不同。
叙事性文本中的插图往往呈现主要人物及核心事件，旨在帮助读者在较短时间内抓住故事的主旨大意。说明文中的插图通常呈现所描述物体的参考表征，以帮助读者理解重要概念或整合信息。
2. 对于细节较多的插图，需找到各插图的核心信息及类似插图 间的差异。
例如在“Cold Truths”一文中共呈现了五幅冰箱内景图。 在进行人物与插图匹配前，同学们可以先仔细观察每个冰箱内存放的食物，并推测主人的饮食偏好，然后再读文本，锁定关键信息进行匹配。如：Ellie的自述中don’t cook very often, have something quick, or even just a yoghurt 指向图片e。

5. How do you understand the title “Cold Truths”
“Could Truths” means “冰冷的事实” in Chinese. From the passage, we know that people’s cold food in the fridges can reflect their bad eating
habits and lifestyles,
which may be harmful
to their health. So the
author hopes that
everyone of us can have
good eating habits and lifestyles.
课文标题语带双关，Cold Truths原意是“冰冷的事实”，结合课文内容，可将标题理解为冰箱里冷冰冰的食物所反映出的真实的生活方式。课文中展示的不良饮食习惯和生活方式终将影响人们的身体健康，这也是一个残酷的事实，因此这篇课文的意义在于呼吁人们形成良好的饮食和生活习惯。
本单元标题Food for thought也是双关语。food for thought这个习语本意指something that should be thought about or considered carefully，意指“需要认真考虑的事情”。本单元主题是多元饮食文化和健康的饮食习惯，谈到了食物food，一语双关，意指我们应该认真对待自己摄入的食物。
