Question

【題目】 For most teenagers, the kitchen may be a mysterious(神秘的) place. But Flynn McGarry is already able to take charge of(掌管) a kitchen.

At the age of 15, he was already a well-known teenage chef in the US. He has opened his own dining club at home and works with some of the best restaurants in his country.

McGarry’s love for cooking started at the age of 10. He practiced his knife skills after school and taught himself from books and the Internet. In his room, there are no video games, basketballs or movie posters, but pots, cutting boards and pans(平底鍋).

When he was 11, McGarry’s parents helped turn his bedroom into a monthly supper club called Eureka. Each month, he hosted his mother’s friends and soon won the title of “culinary prodigy(烹飪神童)”. Now, people pay $160(979 yuan) per person to eat at Eureka.

McGarry does not stick with just simple types of cuisine(菜肴). He likes creating interesting dishes. “I could take a carrot and raise it to this amazing level that you’d never think you’re eating a carrot,” he said. The New York Times described his meals as “creative enough to make an experienced chef inferior(遜色的).”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述弗林麥加里是一個烹飪神童，他15歲時就是美國著名的廚師了，10歲就開始練習刀工，從書上和網(wǎng)上學習烹飪，他喜歡創(chuàng)造有趣的菜品，在未來，他打算開一家自己的餐館。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Now, people pay $160(979 yuan) per person to eat at Eureka“現(xiàn)在，在尤里卡吃飯，每個人需要支付160美元（979元）”可知，一個人要支付979元，馬丁和他的父母三個人要支付2937元，故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Now, people pay $160(979 yuan) per person to eat at Eureka“現(xiàn)在，在尤里卡吃飯，每個人需要支付160美元（979元）”可知，不是免費的，排除A；根據(jù)Each month, he hosted his mother’s friends and soon won the title of “culinary prodigy可知，每個月他都會招待他的父母的朋友，排除C；根據(jù)When he was 11, McGarry’s parents helped turn his bedroom into a monthly supper club called Eureka可知，只是講述他11歲時創(chuàng)辦了尤里卡，并沒有說四年前，排除D；根據(jù)McGarry’s parents helped turn his bedroom into a monthly supper club called Eureka可知，麥加里的父母幫忙把他的臥室變成了每月一次的晚餐俱樂部，名為尤里卡，所以他的父母支持他，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The New York Times described his meals as “creative enough to make an experienced chef inferior(遜色的).”可知，《紐約時報》將他的餐描述為足夠地有創(chuàng)意來讓一個經(jīng)驗豐富的廚師遜色，所以《紐約時報》認為他的飯菜很可口，故選D。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He plans to open his own restaurant by 19 and make it, as he puts it, “the best restaurant in the world.”他計劃在19歲之前開一家自己的餐廳，用他自己的話說，讓它成為世界上最好的餐廳可知，他夢想開一個他自己的餐廳，故選B。

做細節(jié)理解題時要先劃關鍵詞，再根據(jù)關鍵詞定位到文中的某一段即可做出題目。

例如第1題，根據(jù)關鍵詞Martin和his parents以及pay可知，定位至Now, people pay $160(979 yuan) per person to eat at Eureka“現(xiàn)在，在尤里卡吃飯，每個人需要支付160美元（979元）”可知，一個人要支付979元，馬丁和他的父母三個人要支付2937元，故選D。
