Many years ago, china had 【4】______ energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This【5】_____ (lose) 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【6】_____ (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
In order to economize in 【7】_____ (cook), 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.

【答案】

【2】noticed
【3】it
【4】an
【5】loss
【6】valuable
【7】cooking
【8】faster
【9】prepared
【10】that
【解析】
试题分析:作者十分喜爱中国的烹饪艺术,因此仔细研究了中国的烹饪艺术,发现是当时中国的一次能源危机使得中国人在烹饪上更快,并且极少用木材,所以保持了食物新鲜的味道。
【1】where/ in which,考查定语从句。句意:我的办公室离唐人街不远,在那里我可以找到很棒的中国餐厅。这里需要关系词引导前面的Chinatown,而Chinatown是地点名词,所以应该用where/ in which连接,故填where/ in which。
【2】noticed,考查时态。句意:我察觉到肉和蔬菜新鲜的味道。文章整体用的过去时,表示过去发生的事情,所以这里应该也用过去时态,故填noticed。
【3】it,考查代词。句意:当我更多地了解食物时,我明白了为什么食物会用特别之处。这里需要一个代词指代前面的food,故填it。
【4】an,考查冠词。句意:很多年以前,中国有一次能源危机。这里应该用冠词表示“一次”,又引文energy是元音字母开头,故填an。
【5】loss,考查名词。句意:这个损失对这个城市而言非常糟糕。这里应该是名词作主语,而lose是动词,所以应该填名词形式,故填loss。
【6】valuable,考查形容词。句意:所以中国人要么需要找到珍贵木材的替代品,要么就是学习如何把木材更好地运用。这里是形容木材的珍贵,故填valuable。
【7】cooking,考查单词形式。句意:为了在烹饪上节省,中国人需要极少地运用木材。cook表示“厨师,厨子”,cooking表示“烹饪”,这里表示的是烹饪,故填cooking。
【8】faster考查形容词比较级。句意:通过这种方式,食物烹饪地更快,而且节省了更多的原料。这里表示的是比之前更快,所以应该用比较级,故填faster。
【9】prepared考查定语从句。句意:通过这种方式烹饪地食物可以保持新鲜的味道。这里原句应该是The food (that was) prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor,表示“被准备的食物”,故填prepared。
【10】that,考查强调句的用法。句意:就是这种味道吸引了其他国家的人来领略中国的烹饪艺术。It’s...that...是强调句的固定用法,表达对某种事物的强调,故填that。
