Question

【题目】七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

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: 1.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. 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.

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. span>Try new things.

B. Understand your food better.

C. Ability is easily improved.

D. Make three or four instead.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

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

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

【2】F

【3】D

【4】A

【5】G

【解析】

【语篇解读】这篇文章主要讲的是作者给那些生活中抽不出空来做饭的人提的一些建议。

【1】考查对上下文的理解。由前文可知，人们不喜欢经常做饭的原因主要有3个：ability，money、 time，而后文又说money这个话题他想过段时间再谈，今天所要谈的重点是time，那么这个空就是说 的ability，所以选C。

【2】考查对关键词的把握。第一点是think ahead，也就是要先计划安排好时间，与F中的planning ahead 相呼应，因此选F。

【3】考查对上下文的理解。我们看这个空前面的一个问句的意思是你是在做一块面包吗？而这个空 后面的句子的意思是花一样的时间去做更多的事情。这段的主题又是让你的时间变得有意义，显而易 见，作者的意思是我们应该在这段时间里做更多的面包，3块或者4块，而不是一块。因此选D。

【4】考查对关键词的把握。这题是选小标题，那么我们就要结合这段的内容来做分析。由这段中的 new ideas和the more you try可知这段主要讲的是尝试新的事物。所以选A。

【5】考查排除法的运用。这题可用排除法，首先排除A、C、D、F，那么就还剩下B、E、G。由于 最后一段讲的是对人们的美好祝愿，而E则是陈述的一个事实，所以排除E。然后这篇文章主要讲的 是怎样在繁忙的生活安排中抽出空来做饭，所以主要是讲的cooking和living的关系，排除B，选G。
