10.Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience,there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often:ability,money,and time.(36)B 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's nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week.When will you have time to cook?Do you have the right materials already?(37)G
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?(38)C It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.(39)A 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(40)F 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.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了在紧张的生活节奏下,如何体验下厨的快乐?本文给出了三个建议:提前考虑,让时间有所值以及尝试创新.
解答 36.B.考查上下文的理解能力.根据后文 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:钱的问题我改天说.所以,今天我想给你们一些关于如何充分利用你在厨房的时间的聪明做法.所以这里选B(能力很容易提高.)与上下文一致;故选B.
37.G.考查上下文的理解能力.根据前文The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week:提前一周想好.在有空的时候准备好食材.所以这里选G(提前用一点时间来规划未来可以节省以后的很多工作.)与上下文一致;故选G.
38.C.考查上下文的理解能力.本条建议是:让时间用得值.比如,做面包时,做三、四个而不是一个,可以给自己节省以后的时间.根据后文takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal:做一个和做三、四个面包所花费的时间差不多,所以这里选C(做三个或四个而不是一个.)与上下文一致;故选C.
39.A.考查上下文的理解能力.空后This may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation的意思是:要敢于尝试,这样才会引起自己的食欲,才可以使自己用在做饭上的时间和努力值得.学得越多尝试越多,控制食材和时间的能力就会越强.The more you learn and the more you try,是很好的提示.所以这里选A(尝试新事物.)与上下文一致;故选A.
40.F.考查上下文的理解能力.根据后文And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live:不要让繁忙的日程打消你为了吃饭和生活所做的一些大变化!所以这里选F(让烹饪和生活成为一种快乐,而不是负担.)与上下文一致;故选F.
点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.

As I was reflecting on this,I realized that as a family we are really lucky (59)D school isn't the only place where they think of him as"our Matthew".It (60)B to other parts of our lives as well-our friends,our family,our neighborhood,and our church.
