閱讀理解:
Everyone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity. There are so many different kinds of food in the world—Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It's fun to eat and compare different types of cuisine. Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all—sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning.
Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many parts of the world. Lots of people love Chinese-style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crisper than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispest cooked vegetables you can find.
Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more “fast food”, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. It's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.
Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an “art form”; people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly, each person has a different opinion about which country has the tastiest food. But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.

2.We can infer from the passage that .
A.wine makes your mouth burn
B.French chefs love to be artists
C.South American food is not so spicy as Indian food
D.the most wonderful food comes from Eastern countries
【參考答案】C
[考點(diǎn)]推理判斷題
【精析】C 根據(jù)第一段最后兩句“Indian food can be the spiciest of all…wine to reduce the burning.”可知,印度食物是最辣的,吃了之后會(huì)讓人感覺嘴巴火辣辣的,這時(shí)可以喝點(diǎn)酒減輕辛辣感,所以可排除A項(xiàng);根據(jù)最后一段第一句“…like France, cooking is still an ‘a(chǎn)rt form’…”可知,在法國烹飪是一門藝術(shù),但并不是指法國的廚師都想成為藝術(shù)家,故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二、三句“Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all…”可推知,印度食物可能是最辣的,所以南美食物沒有印度食物辣,故C項(xiàng)正確;根據(jù)第二段第一句“Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries.”可知,一些美食來自于東方國家,但并沒有說最好吃的食物來自于東方國家,故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選C。

[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題
【精析】C 根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.”可知,A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第一段最后一句“But that’s okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning.”可知,印度食物可能是最辣的,但可以喝點(diǎn)意大利或法國的酒來減輕辛辣感,不過并沒有說印度食物必須要與意大利或法國的酒一起享用,故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第二段最后一句“In fact, they are probably the crispest cooked vegetables you can find.”可知,C項(xiàng)正確;根據(jù)第三段對(duì)美式食物的描述可知,美國人常吃快餐,比如漢堡、熱狗,花很少時(shí)間就能做好這些食物,因此美式食物并不難做,故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選C。
4. Americans eat a lot of “fast food” because .
A.they believe American food is the bestB.American food contains more nutritionC.they don't like food in other countriesD.they don't think they have enough time to prepare meals
【參考答案】D
[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題
【精析】D 根據(jù)第三段最后兩句“Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking…h(huán)ard day.”可知,美國人覺得自己太忙,沒有時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備食物,因此經(jīng)常會(huì)到外面吃快餐。故選D。

B.American food is often believed to be less tasty.

【參考答案】C
[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題
【精析】C 根據(jù)第二段第四句“Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time…”可知,A項(xiàng)正確;根據(jù)第三段第二句“They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries.”可知,B項(xiàng)正確;根據(jù)最后一段第二句“Certainly, each person has a different opinion about which country has the tastiest food.”可知,關(guān)于哪個(gè)國家的食物最美味,人們有不同的看法,由此可推知,人們會(huì)對(duì)法國食物持有不同的觀點(diǎn),所以D項(xiàng)正確;文章中并沒有提及世界上所有人都不喜歡印度食物,因此C項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤。故選C。
