题文
My interest in Chinese food started years a90, when l was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants．The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
Many years ago, China had an energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their valuable wood，or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
In order to economize in cookin9, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．That way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor一and it's this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

答案
小题1:A
小题2:C
小题3:D
解析
本文主要介绍中餐品尝起来新鲜的原因。
小题1:考查主旨大意题，结合文章第二段，可知，当我学到更多有关中餐食物的背景知识时，我才开始明白为什么它有新鲜的味道。随后第三、四两段集中介绍其相关背景知识。故应选A。
小题2:考查推理判断题，结合文章第三、四段，可知能源危机——森林的减少，使得做食物所需的木材变得昂贵而很难获取，同时人们没有找到木材的替代物，所以必须寻找一些节约木材的办法，于是人们改变了烹制食物的方式即在将肉和蔬菜放入热的油锅之前将其切成小块，进而保持食物新鲜的味道同时节省了燃料。故应选C。
小题3:考查推理判断题，结合文章第四段“That way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor—it's this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.”可知利用新的烹制方式，食物做的更快了，节省了燃料，并保持着新鲜的味道，正是这种味道，吸引着来自其他国家的人们关注烹饪艺术。故应选D。

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
