Question

【題目】From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, ___【1】_Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready?____ 【2】____

Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __【3】__ it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

____【4】____ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation（實驗）. It gives you the chance to hit upon（發(fā)現(xiàn)，想到） new ideas and recipes（食譜） that can work well with your appetite（食欲，欲望） and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start. ____【5】__ and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A. Try new things.

B. Ability is easily improved.

C. Make three or four instead.

D. Understand your food better.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】G

【3】C

【4】A

【5】F

【解析】

試題分析：人們有不經(jīng)常做飯的原因，但是有一個整潔的明細表，對于做飯會更加清晰。

【1】B。從后面的句子來看，money敘述 了，time也敘述了。只有ability沒有敘述。又根據(jù)前面的 句子的說明From my experience, there are three main reasons for why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time.，與之有關(guān)的只有帶有ability這一信息 了，所以答案是B--Ability is easily improved.故選B。

【2】G。第二段：預先思考。根據(jù)此段開頭的關(guān)鍵 詞ahead，可以判斷出此段與ahead有關(guān)，故選G。

【3】C。第三段：時間的有所價值。根據(jù)Are you making one loaf of bread?這句話，可以判斷出要make one loaf of bread, 那就是與數(shù)量有關(guān)，還有后面的句子中 的amount（量）的提示，故選C。

【4】A。第四段：此題考查要點關(guān)鍵詞。根據(jù)此段的具體內(nèi) 容，特別是It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.這兩句，提到了new ideas和try, 可以判斷出與new有關(guān)，故選A。

【5】F。第五段：此段是全文的總結(jié)。根據(jù)最后一句And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!可以判斷出此項與live有關(guān)。故選F。
