From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money and time. 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 ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do
you have the right materials ready?
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?It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation(尝试). It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes(食谱) 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. 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.
【答案】B;G;C;A;F
【解析】人们一般因为能力、财力和时间的原因而不能经常做饭,本文就如何在紧张的时间内抽出时间来自己做饭提出了三点建议。
(1)考查上下文的理解能力。根据上文From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money and time.和下文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.可知,根据我的经验,人们不经常做饭的三个主要原因是:能力、金钱和时间。钱的问题我改天说,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。因此推断B项“能力很容易提高”与上下文一致。所以答案是B。
(2)考查上下文的理解力。根据上文So think ahead of the coming week.可知,提前一周想好,在有空的时候准备好食材。因此推断G项“提前用一点儿时间来规划未来可以节省以后的很多工作” 与上下文一致。所以答案是G。
(3)考查上下文的理解能力。根据段落标题Make your time worth it.可知让时间用得值。因此推断做面包时,做三、四个而不是一个,可以给自己节省以后的时间,做一个和做三、四个面包所花费的时间差不多。所以答案是C。
(4)考查段落大意。本段讲述要敢于尝试,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。因此推断此段建议要尝试新事物。所以答案是A。
(5)考查上下文的理解能力。根据空格上下文可知,希望这些建议能给你一个良好的开端。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!因此推断F项“(让烹饪和生活成为一种快乐,而不是负担”与上下文一致。所以答案是F。
