Question

【题目】 My interest in cooking started when I was 11, partly thanks to my mother. She didn’t really like cooking and when she did cook, I didn’t like her food. Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.

During a year, I had produced most of its recipes (食谱) and was ready for a bigger challenge (挑战). I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family. To my joy, my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen. I did much cooking to test my dishes in it and my skill improved quickly. Later, my mom and I set up a dinner club that organized monthly events inside my home. Now as a teen chef (主厨), I have also cooked in top-class restaurants around the country. I am not doing it for the money, but because I love cooking.

Now I know that when you stop caring whether you’ll be famous or do well, your dream will come to you.

本文是记叙文。我11岁开始喜欢烹饪，部分多亏了我妈妈。我在一次看电视时，对烹饪感兴趣，后来买了食谱，想创造属于我的菜肴。我父母允许我建造测试厨房。现在我是全国顶级餐馆的大厨。我喜欢烹饪所以我在做烹饪。

【1】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句Now as a teen chef (主厨), I have also cooked in top-class restaurants around the country.我现在是一名主厨，已经在全国顶级饭馆烹饪。可知我是主厨，故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第一段Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.可知，我从电视上看到做饭节目使我开始学习烹饪，故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family.我想创建自己的菜肴，开始为更多的人做饭，不仅仅是我的家人，故选D。

【5】细节理解题。根据I am not doing it for the money, but because I love cooking.可知，我不是为了钱在做事情，而是因为我喜欢烹饪，所以对于作者来说，重要的是喜欢这个职业，故选D。

阅读理解的词义理解题解答方法：

它主要是通过同义转换的方式来考查对阅读材料中一些关键性词句是如何理解的，试题属于用词汇替换、句型转换手段对短文原句释义，难度也较小，也属浅层理解题。如第4小题对代词it指代内容的理解，要根据上文To my joy, my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen.一句“我父母给允许我建造测试厨房”。可推测我在测试厨房做饭，所以it指代test kitchen。
