中國煎餅被美國人帶到家鄉,沒想到老外們竟吃上癮了,風靡紐約……
As a student,Goldberg didn’t have enough money to start his business.It was not until five years ago that he made the first step in Hong Kong.To open the Hong Kong shop,Goldberg spent many weekends flying back and forth from Beijing,Tianjin,and Shandong Province.After tasting tons,he found one shop in Beijing,Xiaoyan Jianbing,whose cook offered to teach him and his Hong Kong employees the recipe①.In Hong Kong,Goldberg’s shop had been a little famous shop,but Goldberg missed his hometown very much.Two years ago,he moved back to New York and put himself into his Jianbing shop,opening pop-ups (快閃店) across New York to see how customers like it.
“When I went to China,I just loved Jianbing so much;it tastes so good,and the materials are so good;it is hot,it’s fresh,and it can be made according to your taste.When I came back to America,I couldn’t find it.So if you like something and you can’t get it,what should you do You make it!” said Goldberg.Goldberg thought about his Jianbing plan for a long time.It was the theme② of his business plan when he was an MBA in Columbia University,Goldberg’s Chinese Pancake.
The great goal of Goldberg is bringing Jianbing to the world and establishing③ his own signature④ brand⑤ with Mr.Bing.“I have had the dream for a long time and I will try my best to realize it,” he said.

Ⅱ.翻轉課堂(課文語法填空)
Fill in the following blanks according to the passage.
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote,“Tell me what you eat,and I will tell you what you are,” 1.which means “You are what you eat.” In fact,Brillat-Savarin was actually 2.referring (refer) to our personality,character,and culture.In many ways,this seems to be true.Chinese cuisine is a case in point.China is a country with vast 3.areas (area) and a large population.So the food is as 4.varied (vary) as the people.For example,people in Shandong like boiled dumplings 5.served (serve) with vinegar,because the process of making dumplings can bring 6.the family members together.7.Traditionally (traditional),people in Xinjiang spent most of their time on horsebacks,and that is why they prefer their food 8.to be cooked (cook) over an open fire.In conclusion,through food,Chinese people everywhere show their culture as well as their friendship and 9.kindness (kind).So what we can say is that culture and cuisine go hand 10.in hand,and if you do not experience one,you can never really know the other.
[原文呈現]
CULTURE AND CUISINE①
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote,“Tell me what you eat,and I will tell you what you are.[1]” Put more simply②,this means “You are what you eat.[2]” Most people today relate this saying to③ healthy eating.However,Brillat-Savarin was actually referring to④ our personality,character,and culture.
[1]本句為“祈使句+and/or+陳述句(常用一般將來時)”結構,and表示順承,or意為“否則”。
[2]本句中what引導表語從句,且在從句中作eat的賓語。
Certainly⑤,in many ways⑥ this seems to be true.Chinese cuisine is a case in point⑦.Prior to⑧ coming to China,my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America,with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American tastes[3].For example,America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken,which consists of⑨ fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce,flavoured with hot red peppers⑩[4].This is probably not an authentic Chinese recipe ,however,so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese.On the other hand ,it does tell us a lot about Americans.It tells us,for example,that Americans love bold ,simple flavours.And,since the dish was also invented recently[5],it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods.
[3]此處為that引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞Chinese food;該從句為過去完成時的被動語態,表示過去某一時刻或某一動作之前已完成的被動動作。
[4]此處為which引導的非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞General Tso’s chicken;其中過去分詞fried與過去分詞短語covered in...及flavoured with...均作定語,修飾General Tso’s chicken。
[5]此處為since引導的原因狀語從句,since意為“因為,由于”。
Later,I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China.When my family and I had just arrived[6] in China,we went looking for a good place to eat in Beijing.A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended[7] to us by a friend,and finally,we found it.Tired,hungry,and not knowing a word of Chinese,we had no idea how to order,so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten.With this,we had the pleasure of experiencing an entirely new taste:Sichuan peppercorns .The food was wonderful and different,but what was even more important was the friendship that was offered to us.
[6]此處為過去完成時,先于主句動作went發生,表示過去的過去發生的動作。
[7]此處為過去完成時的被動語態,表示先于found發生的被動動作。
We soon moved to Shandong Province in the eastern part of North China.My favourite dish there was boiled dumplings served with vinegar [8].I observed that family is important to the people there.It has become a favourite traditional dish of the people in North China,where making dumplings has always been a family affair with everyone—from the youngest to the oldest—joining in to help[9].Later,I learnt that the most famous food in Shandong is pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions [10].
[8]此處過去分詞boiled和過去分詞短語served with vinegar均作定語,修飾dumplings。
[9]此處為關系副詞where引導的非限制性定語從句;其中with everyone...joining in to help為with復合結構作狀語;破折號中間的內容from the youngest to the oldest起解釋說明的作用。
[10]此處為過去分詞短語stuffed with...作后置定語,修飾pancake rolls。
Then we moved to northern Xinjiang.Some of our friends were Kazak and Inner Mongolian.These groups traditionally wandered the open range on horses.As a result,their traditional foods are what you can cook over an open fire—usually boiled or roasted meat,such as lamb kebab.
Our travels then took us to South China,and then on to central China.In each place we went[11],we experienced wonderful local dishes,from Guangdong’s elegant dim sum—small servings of food in bamboo steamers—to the exceptional stewed noodles in Henan.Everywhere,the food was as varied as the people.However,one thing is always true:Through food,Chinese people everywhere show friendship and kindness.
[11]此處為省略引導詞that/which的定語從句,修飾each place。
At a minimum,the kinds of food local people consume tell us what they grow in their region,what kinds of lives they lead,and what they like and do not like.[12]Could we also say,for example,that those who like bold flavours are bold themselves Or,that those who like spicy food tend to have a hot temper [13] Maybe.Maybe not.What we can say,however,is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand,and if you do not experience one,you can never really know the other[14].
[12]本句中local people consume為省略引導詞that/which的定語從句,修飾先行詞the kinds of food;三個what均引導賓語從句。
[13]who like bold flavours和who like spicy food均為who引導的定語從句,分別修飾其前面的先行詞those。
[14]本句中What we can say是what引導的主語從句;that culture and cuisine go hand in hand是that引導的表語從句;if you do not experience one為if引導的條件狀語從句。

[參考譯文] 文化與美食
法國作家讓·安泰爾姆·布里亞-薩瓦蘭曾寫道:“告訴我你平時吃什么,我就可以說出你是什么樣的人。”簡單地說,這句話就是“人如其食”的意思。如今,大多數人把這句諺語與健康飲食聯系起來。然而,布里亞-薩瓦蘭實際上指的是我們的個性、品格以及文化。
當然,從很多方面來看,此話不假。中國菜就是個很好的例子。在來中國之前,我唯一一次體驗中國烹飪是在美國,那是為了適應美國人的口味而改良的中餐。例如,在美國最受歡迎的中國菜是“左宗棠雞”,它在油炸的雞肉上淋上甜醬,再佐以煸炒過的紅辣椒制成。然而,這或許并不是地道的中餐做法,因此并不能讓我們對中國的人和事有多少了解。另一方面,它確實讓我們對美國人了解很多。例如,這道菜說明美國人喜愛濃烈、簡單的口味。此外,由于這道菜也是新發明,所以這也表明美國人不懼怕嘗試新的菜品。
后來,我來到中國,有機會品嘗地道的中國美食。我和家人一到中國,就在北京尋找一個吃飯的好去處。一位朋友之前向我們推薦過一家川菜館,最終,我們找到了這家餐館。又累又餓,一個漢字也不認識,我們壓根兒不知道如何點餐,于是廚師在我們桌上擺滿了食物,那是我們吃過的最可口的佳肴。因此,我們高高興興地體驗了一種全新的口味:四川花椒。食物美味又獨特,但更重要的是他們給予我們的友誼。
不久后,我們來到了位于華北東部的山東省。在那里我最喜愛的食物是蘸著醋吃的水餃。我發現那里的人都很重視家庭。水餃已成為華北人民最喜愛的傳統食物,在這里包餃子一直是一項全員參與的家庭活動——無論老少——都會加入來幫忙。后來,我了解到,山東最有名的食物是煎餅卷大蔥。
隨后,我們又到了新疆北部。我們的一些朋友是哈薩克族人和內蒙古人。他們的傳統是騎著馬在廣闊的草原上漫步。因此,他們的傳統食物是在篝火上烹制而成的——通常是水煮肉或烤肉,例如烤羊肉串。
接著,我們前往華南,之后又去了華中。我們每到一處,都會品嘗當地的美食,從廣東的精致點心——放在竹制蒸籠里蒸出來的小份食品——到河南獨特的燴面。無論到哪里,食物都與當地人一樣,精彩紛呈。然而,有一件事始終不變:每個地方的中國人都通過食物展現友情與善意。
至少,當地人消費的食物種類能讓我們知道該地區種植什么作物,人們過著怎樣的生活以及他們的愛憎。比方說,我們是否也能這樣推斷,喜歡重口味的人性格粗獷 抑或喜歡辛辣食物的人往往脾氣火爆 也許是的,也許又不是。但是,我們可以確定的是,文化和美食這兩者息息相關,如果你沒有體驗過其中的一個,你就永遠無法真正了解另一個。

Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times.Whatever your taste,there’s a food festival to match it—no matter how special.
Meatopia
This three-day,London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise.In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products,from juicy burgers to tender steaks,attendees can listen to live music,watch butchery demonstrations,and attend informal meat-based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth,the National Honey Show,which started in 1923,may be the place for you.This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey,some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce Held in Cumbria,this sweet,fragrant festival has been running for many years.What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce.There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe,bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival
If you’d prefer something with a little more kick,then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton.Unlike other food festivals,it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive,who returned from India with ginger.Because of this,people here specialize in baking gingerbread,and sell a range of traditional spices from mild ones to hot ones.

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 has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine,it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs 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 declining 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,1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food.Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to,and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.One in four adults say that TV chefs 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 chefs on TV,it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.

When you think of Chinese food in the US,fried rice,or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind.But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味覺).It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,”says Kian Lam Kho,a co-curator (聯合策展人) of “Sour,Sweet,Bitter,Spicy:Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America.Even with the same dish or same cuisine,every family has a different variation.That’s why the curators say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US,you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens,which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country.That’s the one place which you set up as your home base,and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains co-curator Audra Ang.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying,80,of Manhattan.She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen.These days,you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove.For Ni,a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes.She learned some of her techniques from her father,who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child.“I still make the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says.And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.

A.It provides a wealthy life.
B.It helps them to accept new cultures.
C.It brings a sense of belonging.
D.It enables them to forget the past.
答案　C　[細節理解題。根據第三段內容可知,廚房給移民者帶來的是一種安慰,移民者把廚房看作是大本營。由此可推知,廚房在許多移民者的生活中起著關鍵作用,是因為它能帶來一種歸屬感。]
10.What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4
A.She worked in a Chinese restaurant.
B.She made most meals as a child.
C.She learned cooking from her father.
D.She lives with a big family.

As a student,Goldberg didn’t have enough money to start his business.It was not until five years ago that he made the first step in Hong Kong.To open the Hong Kong shop,Goldberg spent many weekends flying back and forth from Beijing,Tianjin,and Shandong Province.After tasting tons,he found one shop in Beijing,Xiaoyan
Jianbing,whose cook offered to teach him and his Hong Kong employees the recipe①.In Hong Kong,Goldberg’s shop had been a little famous shop,but Goldberg missed his hometown very much.Two years ago,he moved back to New York and put himself into his Jianbing shop,opening pop-ups (快閃店) across New York to see how customers like it.
“When I went to China,I just loved Jianbing so much;it tastes so good,and the materials are so good;it is hot,it’s fresh,and it can be made according to your taste.When I came back to America,I couldn’t find it.So if you like something and you can’t get it,what should you do You make it!” said Goldberg.Goldberg thought about his Jianbing plan for a long time.It was the theme② of his business plan when he was an MBA in Columbia University,Goldberg’s Chinese Pancake.
The great goal of Goldberg is bringing Jianbing to the world and establishing③ his own signature④ brand⑤ with Mr.Bing.“I have had the dream for a long time and I will try my best to realize it,” he said.

語 篇 助 解 釋 疑
CULTURE AND CUISINE①
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote,“Tell me what you eat,and I will tell you what you are.[1]” Put more simply②,this means “You are what you eat.[2]” Most people today relate this saying to③ healthy eating.However,Brillat-Savarin was actually referring to④ our personality,character,and culture.
[原文呈現]
[1]本句為“祈使句+and/or+陳述句(常用一般將來時)”結構,and表示順承,or意為“否則”。
[2]本句中what引導表語從句,且在從句中作eat的賓語。
Certainly⑤,in many ways⑥ this seems to be true.Chinese cuisine is a case in point⑦.Prior to⑧ coming to China,my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America,with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American tastes[3].For example,America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken,which consists of⑨ fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce,flavoured with hot red peppers⑩[4].This is probably not an authentic Chinese recipe ,however,so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese.On the other hand ,it does tell us a lot about Americans.It tells us,for example,that Americans love bold ,simple flavours.And,since the dish was also invented recently[5], it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods.
[3]此處為that引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞Chinese food;該從句為過去完成時的被動語態,表示過去某一時刻或某一動作之前已完成的被動動作。
[4]此處為which引導的非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞General Tso’s chicken;其中過去分詞fried與過去分詞短語covered in...及flavoured with...均作定語,修飾General Tso’s chicken。
[5]此處為since引導的原因狀語從句,since意為“因為,由于”。
Later,I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China.When my family and I had just arrived[6] in China, we went looking for a good place to eat in Beijing.A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended[7] to us by a friend,and finally, we found it.Tired,hungry,and not knowing a word of Chinese,we had no idea how to order,so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten.With this,we had the pleasure of experiencing an entirely new taste:Sichuan peppercorns .The food was wonderful and different,but what was even more important was the friendship that was offered to us.
[6]此處為過去完成時,先于主句動作went發生,表示過去的過去發生的動作。
[7]此處為過去完成時的被動語態,表示先于found發生的被動動作。
We soon moved to Shandong Province in the eastern part of North China.My favourite dish there was boiled dumplings served with vinegar [8].I observed that family is important to the people there.It has become a favourite traditional dish of the people in North China,where making dumplings has always been a family affair with everyone—from the youngest to the oldest—joining in to help[9].Later,I learnt that the most famous food in Shandong is pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions [10].
[8]此處過去分詞boiled和過去分詞短語served with vinegar均作定語,修飾dumplings。
[9]此處為關系副詞where引導的非限制性定語從句;其中with everyone...joining in to help為with復合結構作狀語;破折號中間的內容from the youngest to the oldest起解釋說明的作用。
[10]此處為過去分詞短語stuffed with...作后置定語,修飾pancake rolls。
Then we moved to northern Xinjiang.Some of our friends were Kazak and Inner Mongolian.These groups traditionally wandered the open range on horses.As a result ,their traditional foods are what you can cook over an open fire —usually boiled or roasted meat,such as lamb kebab .
Our travels then took us to South China,and then on to central China.In each place we went[11],we experienced wonderful local dishes,from Guangdong’s elegant dim sum —small servings of food in bamboo steamers—to the exceptional stewed noodles in Henan.Everywhere,the food was as varied as the people.However, one thing is always true:Through food,Chinese people everywhere show friendship and kindness.
[11]此處為省略引導詞that/which的定語從句,修飾each place。
At a minimum ,the kinds of food local people consume tell us what they grow in their region,what kinds of lives they lead,and what they like and do not like.[12]Could we also say,for example,that those who like bold flavours are bold themselves Or,that those who like spicy food tend to have a hot temper [13] Maybe.Maybe not.What we can say,however,is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand ,and if you do not experience one,you can never really know the other[14].
[12]本句中local people consume為省略引導詞that/which的定語從句,修飾先行詞the kinds of food;三個what均引導賓語從句。
[13]who like bold flavours和who like spicy food均為who引導的定語從句,分別修飾其前面的先行詞those。
[14]本句中What we can say是what引導的主語從句;that culture and cuisine go hand in hand是that引導的表語從句;if you do not experience one為if引導的條件狀語從句。

文化與美食
法國作家讓·安泰爾姆·布里亞-薩瓦蘭曾寫道:“告訴我你平時吃什么,我就可以說出你是什么樣的人。”簡單地說,這句話就是“人如其食”的意思。如今,大多數人把這句諺語與健康飲食聯系起來。然而,布里亞-薩瓦蘭實際上指的是我們的個性、品格以及文化。
當然,從很多方面來看,此話不假。中國菜就是個很好的例子。在來中國之前,我唯一一次體驗中國烹飪是在美國,那是為了適應美國人的口味而改良的中餐。例如,在美國最受歡迎的中國菜是“左宗棠雞”,它在油炸的雞肉上淋上甜醬,再佐以煸炒過的紅辣椒制成。然而,這或許并不是地道的中餐做法,因此并不能讓我們對中國的人和事有多少了解。另一方面,它確實讓我們對美國人了解很多。例如,這道菜說明美國人喜愛濃烈、簡單的口味。此外,由于這道菜也是新發明,所以這也表明美國人不懼怕嘗試新的菜品。
后來,我來到中國,有機會品嘗地道的中國美食。我和家人一到中國,就在北京尋找一個吃飯的好去處。一位朋友之前向我們推薦過一家川菜館,最終,我們找到了這家餐館。又累又餓,一個漢字也不認識,我們壓根兒不知道如何點餐,于是廚師在我們桌上擺滿了食物,那是我們吃過的最可口的佳肴。因此,我們高高興興地體驗了一種全新的口味:四川花椒。食物美味又獨特,但更重要的是他們給予我們的友誼。
不久后,我們來到了位于華北東部的山東省。在那里我最喜愛的食物是蘸著醋吃的水餃。我發現那里的人都很重視家庭。水餃已成為華北人民最喜愛的傳統食物,在這里包餃子一直是一項全員參與的家庭活動——無論老少——都會加入來幫忙。后來,我了解到,山東最有名的食物是煎餅卷大蔥。
　　隨后,我們又到了新疆北部。我們的一些朋友是哈薩克族人和內蒙古人。他們的傳統是騎著馬在廣闊的草原上漫步。因此,他們的傳統食物是在篝火上烹制而成的——通常是水煮肉或烤肉,例如烤羊肉串。
接著,我們前往華南,之后又去了華中。我們每到一處,都會品嘗當地的美食,從廣東的精致點心——放在竹制蒸籠里蒸出來的小份食品——到河南獨特的燴面。無論到哪里,食物都與當地人一樣,精彩紛呈。然而,有一件事始終不變:每個地方的中國人都通過食物展現友情與善意。
至少,當地人消費的食物種類能讓我們知道該地區種植什么作物,人們過著怎樣的生活以及他們的愛憎。比方說,我們是否也能這樣推斷,喜歡重口味的人性格粗獷 抑或喜歡辛辣食物的人往往脾氣火爆 也許是的,也許又不是。但是,我們可以確定的是,文化和美食這兩者息息相關,如果你沒有體驗過其中的一個,你就永遠無法真正了解另一個。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解(每小題2.5分,共27.5分)
A
Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times.Whatever your taste,there’s a food festival to match it—no matter how special.
Meatopia
This three-day,London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise.In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products,from juicy burgers to tender steaks,attendees can listen to live music,watch butchery demonstrations,and attend informal meat-based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth,the National Honey Show,which started in 1923,may be the place for you.This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey,some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce Held in Cumbria,this sweet,fragrant festival has been running for many years.What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce.There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe,bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival
If you’d prefer something with a little more kick,then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton.Unlike other food festivals,it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive,who returned from India with ginger.Because of this,people here specialize in baking gingerbread,and sell a range of traditional spices from mild ones to hot ones.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了英國四個美食節。
1.What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common
A.Both of them have a long history.
B.Both of them hold workshops.

√
2.If you are interested in foreign food,which festival do you like best
A.The Meatopia. B.The Ginger and Spice Festival.
C.The National Honey Show. D.The Orange Sauce Festival.
解析　細節理解題。根據The Orange Sauce Festival部分中的“There are thousands of participants...bringing their local snacks to share here.”可知,該美食節有來自30多個國家的參與者帶來他們當地的小吃,由此可知,對外國食物感興趣的人應該最喜歡The Orange Sauce Festival。
√
3.What is special about The Ginger and Spice Festival
A.It sells spicy food.
B.The ginger used in the festival is from India.
C.It has something to do with a historic figure.
D.The food is cooked by Robert Clive.
解析　細節理解題。根據The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival部分中的“Unlike other food festivals...returned from India with ginger.”可知,這個美食節是為了慶祝Robert Clive從印度帶姜返回,由此可知,The Ginger and Spice Festival的特殊之處是它與歷史人物有關。

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 has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine,it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs 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 declining 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,1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food.Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to,and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.One in four adults say that TV chefs 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 chefs 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的一些烹飪類電視節目使更多的英國人改變飲食習慣并愛上烹飪。
4.What do people usually think of British food
A.It is simple and plain. B.It is rich in nutrition.
C.It lacks authentic tastes. D.It deserves a high reputation.
解析　觀點態度題。根據第一段的“But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine”可知,英國的食物通常被認為是簡單的、不吸引人的。
√
5.Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV
A.Authoritative. B.Creative.
C.Profitable. D.Influential.
解析　推理判斷題。根據第二段最后一句“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”可知,英國的烹飪類電視節目對觀眾影響很大,改變了他們對烹飪的看法。故選D。authoritative “權威性的”;creative “富有創意的”;profitable “有利可圖的”;influential “有很大影響的”。
√
6.Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now
A.20%. B.24%. C.25%. D.33%.
解析　細節理解題。根據第三段第二句“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to”可知,近三分之一的人表示他們現在使用的配料比以前更豐富了,故選D。
√
7.What might the author continue talking about
A.The art of cooking in other countries.
B.Male chefs on TV programmes.
C.Table manners in the UK.
D.Studies of big eaters.
解析　推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV,it’s no longer ‘uncool’ for boys to like cooking.”可知,隨著越來越多的男廚師出現在電視上,男孩喜歡烹飪不再是“不酷”的事了。因此可推斷,接下來作者可能會介紹一些電視節目中的男廚師。故選B。

When you think of Chinese food in the US,fried rice,or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind.But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味覺).It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,”says Kian Lam Kho,a co-curator (聯合策展人) of “Sour,Sweet,Bitter, Spicy:Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America.Even with the same dish or same cuisine,every family has a different variation.That’s why the curators say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US,you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country.That’s the one place which you set up as your home base,and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains co-curator Audra Ang.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80,of Manhattan.She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen.These days,you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom
apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove.For Ni,a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes.She learned some of her techniques from her father,who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child.“I still make the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says.And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.

C.History of Chinese immigration.
D.Cuisine of different countries.

9.Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives
A.It provides a wealthy life.
B.It helps them to accept new cultures.
C.It brings a sense of belonging.
D.It enables them to forget the past.
解析　細節理解題。根據第三段內容可知,廚房給移民者帶來的是一種安慰,移民者把廚房看作是大本營。由此可推知,廚房在許多移民者的生活中起著關鍵作用,是因為它能帶來一種歸屬感。
√
10.What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4
A.She worked in a Chinese restaurant.
B.She made most meals as a child.
C.She learned cooking from her father.
D.She lives with a big family.
解析　細節理解題。根據第四段中的“She learned some of...of her family’s meals when she was a child.”可知,她向她父親學習了烹飪。
√
11.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales
B.Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C.Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the US
D.Cuisine Gains New Variations
解析　標題歸納題。通讀全文內容可知。文章主要介紹了家常菜在移民者生活中的核心作用、特點和一位著名的家庭廚師做中國菜,并提到如果想在美國品嘗到豐盛的中國菜建議去家庭廚房。因此,本文主要是講家常菜給餐桌帶來更多味道。

Wellness for Younger Tastes
Wellness,or yangsheng in Mandarin,is no longer a term exclusive to the middle-aged and elderly.Faced with intense competition in education and their careers,those born in the 1990s and 2000s have already started a journey to safeguard their health.As the pursuit of wellness becomes an essential pastime for many young people,a trend known as “New Chinese-style Wellness” has taken over social media platforms.　1　.During a busy workday,they enjoy herbal teas brewed (煮) in wellness pots,enhancing their well-being while tapping away at their keyboards.
