Now that it is summer, how about treating yourself to some ice cream?
Many people think ice cream is modern Western food. In fact, it can date from the Tang Dynasty(朝代) in China. Back then, it was not called ice cream; it was known as sushan.
Sushan was made from milk, just like cream or butter. It was not only tasty but also healthy. It's recorded that nomads(游牧民) from the north introduced it to central China.
According to some records, women often made sushan. They would heat sushan until it melted(融化) and then carefully pour it onto a plate, shaping it into the form of a mountain. Then they would put it in an icebox. Sometimes, they added sugar on top. They might also decorate the food with some flowers and leaves to make it look more beautiful.
Wang Lingran, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, described how people enjoyed sushan in one of his poems. "It isn't ice or water," he wrote. "It disappears(消失) as soon as it touches your teeth." In a painting from the Tang Dynasty, two ladies are holding sushan. At first, people thought they were holding potted plants(盆栽). When watching closely, they found it was something more like today's ice cream, with flowers on top.
Sushan was a popular dish during the Tang and Song dynasties. However, only rich people and royalty(皇族) could pay for large iceboxes to prepare this summer treat.
Luckily, today, we can all enjoy ice cream whenever we want!
34. Why does the writer ask a question in Paragraph 1?
A. To tell the weather. B. To give a suggestion.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To send an invitation.
35. Which of the following lines may be from Wang Lingran's poem?
A. 削成琼叶片,嚼作雪花声。
B. 大如苋实白如玉,滑欲流匙香满屋。
C. 春馀甘蔗榨为浆,色弄鹅儿浅浅黄。
D. 随玉箸而必进,非固非吝;触皓齿而便消,是津是润。
36. What can we learn about sushan from the article?
A. It was tasty but not healthy.
B. Men usually made it at home.
C. People needed an icebox to make it.
D. Every family could enjoy it.

35. D 推理判断题。根据“Wang Lingran, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, described how people enjoyed sus han in one of his poems. ‘It isn't ice or water,’ he wrote. ‘It disappears as it touches your teeth.’”可知,“酥山”不是冰也不是水,一碰到牙齿就消失了,选项D“随玉箸而必进,非固非吝;触皓齿而便消,是津是润。”符合描述,故选D。
36. C 细节理解题。根据“Then they would put it in an icebox.”可知,人们需要一个冰盒来制作“酥山”,故选C。

解析
【分析】
拿到这篇介绍中国唐代传统美食酥山的说明文阅读，我们按题号逐步梳理解题思路：
1. 第34题判断首段问句的作用，先定位首段的提问，再观察后文全部内容都围绕冰淇淋的起源——唐代酥山展开，就能推导作者提问的核心目的，再逐一排除不符合写作意图的选项即可。
2. 第35题匹配对应诗句，先定位原文里王泠然诗句描述的酥山核心特点：不是冰也不是水，一碰到牙齿就会融化消失，再逐一解读四个选项的古文含义，找到完全匹配该特点的选项。
3. 第36题是细节理解题，把每个选项的表述带回原文逐一比对，和原文内容一致的就是正确答案，和原文矛盾的选项直接排除。
【解析】
34. 推理判断题：作者抛出“夏天要不要吃点冰淇淋”的问题后，全文后续内容都围绕冰淇淋的起源、中国唐代的酥山展开介绍，该问句的作用是引出本文要讨论的核心话题。A选项“告知天气”完全不符合，B选项“给出建议”、D选项“发出邀请”只是问句的表层字面含义，并非作者的写作目的，因此选C。
35. 推理判断题：原文明确提到王泠然的诗描述酥山的特点是“不是冰也不是水，一碰到牙齿就消失”，选项D的诗句含义为：跟着玉筷送入口中，质地不硬不涩，碰到牙齿就消融，满口生津润爽，完全符合原文描述的特点。其余选项中，A描述的是冰脆的叶片类食物，B描述的是软糯香滑的糕点，C描述的是甘蔗制成的黄色饮品，都不符合酥山一碰牙就化的特点，因此选D。
36. 细节理解题：将各选项带回原文比对：A选项，原文明确提到酥山不仅美味还健康，表述错误；B选项，原文提到通常是女性制作酥山，并非男性在家制作，表述错误；C选项，原文提到塑形后的酥山要放进冰盒里，说明制作酥山需要用到冰盒，表述正确；D选项，原文提到只有富人和皇族才能负担得起大冰盒来制作酥山，并非每个家庭都能享用，表述错误。因此选C。
