本文屬于敘事類記敘文，以中外不同的菜系為主線，講述了一個中英跨國家庭在飲食習慣的碰撞和融合中發生的一些有趣的故事，通過這些故事反映了食物與文化之間的聯系。飲食上的不同折射著文化之間的差異。
閱讀此類文章必須理清主線。因為主線是文章的綱，抓住這個綱，才能更好地理解文章的中心思想。本文標題“A Child of Two Cuisines”中的Two Cuisines即點明了本文的主線。閱讀本文時，還要注意表達人物對食物的觀點的句子，了解中英飲食差異。
(一)賞用詞之妙
1．He was even shocked at their wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal.
賞析：was even shocked at形象地描寫了中外飲食文化的差異給作者的爸爸帶來的內心沖擊，副詞even加強了語氣。
2．Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet.
賞析：take to指“養成做某事的習慣”，此處does not easily take to與Even today搭配，凸顯了即使現在，作者的爸爸也仍舊對吃雞爪之類食物的抵觸之態，體現了中外飲食差異。
3．“You needn't try it if you don't want to，” Mum said, but I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad.
賞析：本句中的gathered all my courage及take a bite兩個動作形象傳神地寫出了作者鼓足勇氣、嘗試吃臭豆腐的情形，后面的and was amazed to find則運用了對比手法，畫面感十足地寫出了作者情感上的變化以及對臭豆腐的認可。
①他們甚至對我們按時完成這項任務都感到很震驚。
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
②我已經養成了每天晚飯后去打網球的習慣。
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
③我鼓足勇氣嘗了嘗，但發現不好吃。
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
　　　
(二)賞句式之高
1．Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork — and chopsticks!
賞析：該句中Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother是現在分詞短語在句中作狀語，簡潔明了地表明了作者喜歡中英兩個國家的食物的原因，避免了句式繁雜。
2．To me, there's nothing better than a cross cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!
賞析：本句中的nothing better than為“否定詞＋比較級”結構，用于表示最高級含義，通常譯為“沒有比……更……的了，沒有像……一樣……的了”。本句作為文章的結尾句，運用該結構生動地表現了作者對中英兩種文化中的食物的喜愛之情，照應了標題——享受跨國美食的孩子。
①_______________________________， I think it is a good idea for you to choose them.
得知你們學校開設中文課，我認為你選修該課程是個不錯的想法。
②__________________________________ spending time with the family.
沒有什么比和家人在一起更好的事情了。
　　　
(三)賞修辭之功
1．(比喻修辭)I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe.
賞析：“looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe”用比喻的修辭手法描繪了臭豆腐的外形和氣味，形象生動，而且突出了其不易令人接受的特點。
2．(引用修辭)People say that one man's meat is another man's poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures.
賞析：作者此處引用了英語諺語one man's meat is another man's poison(一個人的佳肴可能是另一個人的毒藥)來說明不同的人有著不同的口味。此處引用諺語婉轉地說明中英兩種文化中的食物作者都喜歡，不僅呼應了標題，還增強說服力，同時令語言更加精練，含蓄典雅。
①(完成句子)When I listened to music, it made my spirits _______________________.
當我聽音樂的時候，它讓我的精神像風箏一樣在風中飛翔。
②(英譯漢)In wine, there is truth.
________________________________________________________________________
③(英譯漢)A close mouth catches no flies.
________________________________________________________________________
　　　
(四)賞銜接之順
Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother.
賞析：首句中的and一詞承接前半句介紹了媽媽對家鄉食物的喜愛，接著用Thanks to this引出了媽媽對爸爸的影響，然后用but一詞引導語意轉折，與后面的even after many years of搭配使用，指出盡管已受媽媽影響多年了，爸爸還是有一些不敢嘗試的菜肴，從而順暢地引出下面的話題。

Chinese Dumplings — Wealth
With a history of more than 1,800 years, dumplings are a classic Chinese food, and a traditional dish eaten on Chinese New Year's Eve, widely popular in China, especially in North China.
Chinese dumplings can be made to look like Chinese silver ingots ( boat shaped, oval, and turned up at the two ends). Legend has it that the more dumplings you eat during the New Year celebrations, the more money you can make in the New Year.
Dumplings generally consist of minced meat and finely chopped vegetables and elastic dough skin. Popular fillings are minced pork, diced shrimp, fish, ground chicken, beef, and vegetables. They can be cooked by boiling, steaming, frying or baking.
Chinese don't eat Chinese sauerkraut dumplings at Spring Festival, and difficult future. On New Year's Eve it is a tradition to eat dumplings with cabbage and radish,
When making dumplings there should be a good number of pleats. If you make the junction too flat, it is thought to purport poverty.
Some Chinese put a white thread inside a dumpling, and the one who eats that dumpling is supposed to possess longevity.Sometimes a copper coin is put in a dumpling, and the one who eats it is supposed to become wealthy.
Dumplings should be arranged in lines instead of circles, because circles of dumplings are supposed to mean one's life will go round in circles, never going anywhere.

A
What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain is famous for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class cooks who appear often on our television screens and whose recipe books often top the best seller lists.
It's thanks to these TV cooks rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly falling and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, one in five Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use more various ingredients (食材) than they used to, and just under one in four say that they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV cooks have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people
are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (癡迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male cooks on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了英國人在英國烹飪節目的影響下改變對烹飪的看法，并嘗試新的烹飪習慣。
1．What do people usually think of British food
A．It is rich in kinds.
B．It is simple and ordinary.
C．It tastes delicious.
D．It is inviting.
√
解析：細節理解題。根據第一段中的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting？”可知，提及英國食物，大家往往只是想到炸魚和薯條或一葷兩素的周日晚餐，所以人們通常會覺得英國食物平平無奇。故選B。
2．Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A．Interesting.　　　　　 B．Creative.
C．Influential. D．Disappointing.
√
解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“It's thanks to these TV cooks rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”以及“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”可知，英國的烹飪節目能夠改變英國人對烹飪的看法，嘗試從傳統的英式飲食走出來，嘗試新的烹飪習慣。由此可推知，英國的烹飪節目具有很大的影響力。故選C。
3．Which is the percentage of the people using more different ingredients now
A．20%.　　　　　　　 B．24%.
C．25%. D．33%.
√
解析：細節理解題。根據第三段的“Almost one third say they now use more various ingredients (食材) than they used to”可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的食材種類比以前更多。故選D。
4．What might the author continue talking about
A．Studies of big eaters.
B．Table manners in the UK.
C．Male cooks on TV programmes.
D．The art of cooking in other countries.
√
解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段的最后一句可推知，接下來，文章應該具體介紹電視上的男性廚師，從而與上文形成語義連貫。故選C。
B
Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜), are seen as “hot”， while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小蘿卜), are seen
as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual's health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry.

Many countries have traditional dishes, made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way. 9 ， and when tourists visit, these are the foods they want to try. But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas
Traditional ingredients
Typical recipes are usually made with native plant and animal products. For example, Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot, wet areas. In contrast, wheat grows well in drier areas, like the Middle East, where bread is a common staple food. 10 ， whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals.
Food preservation
Local cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage. In warm weather, meat and fish can go off quickly, so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later. 11 ， for that reason, modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.
Cooking techniques
12 . In China, people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water. In Morocco, people cook traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine. And some local dishes aren't cooked at all.
Imported (進口的) ingredients
Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally came from another place. 13 ， while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes. However, all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But now they are common around the world.
A．Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areas
B．There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost
C．Many different cooking techniques are used around the world
D．For example, Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers
E．These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its culture
F．Nowadays, we can buy food products from all around the world
G．In Norway, the Vikings used to “cure” meat and fish by smoking them over a fire

What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain is famous for less than impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class cooks who appear often on our television screens and whose recipe books often top the best seller lists.
It's thanks to these TV cooks rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat and two veg and ready made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly falling and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, one in five Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use more various ingredients (食材) than they used to, and just under one in four say that they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV cooks have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (癡迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male cooks on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
1．What do people usually think of British food
A．It is rich in kinds.
B．It is simple and ordinary.
C．It tastes delicious.
D．It is inviting.
2．Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A．Interesting.　　　　　 B．Creative.
C．Influential. D．Disappointing.
3．Which is the percentage of the people using more different ingredients now
A．20%.　　　　　　　 B．24%.
C．25%. D．33%.
4．What might the author continue talking about
A．Studies of big eaters.
B．Table manners in the UK.
C．Male cooks on TV programmes.
D．The art of cooking in other countries.

Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜), are seen as “hot”， while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小蘿卜), are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual's health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry (枸杞子), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick me up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
