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.

【解析】

本文讲述了我因为一个电视节目引发了我学习做饭的欲望，到后来我虽然是一个十几岁的孩子的，但是我却是一个很棒的厨师。通过这个故事告诉我们，当我们不在乎是否会成功或是否会做的好时，我们的梦想正在向我们靠近。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中Now as a teen chef (主厨), I have also cooked in top-class restaurants around the country.可知，作者现在是个十几岁的厨师，故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中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.

可知是一次电视节目引起了我做饭的欲望。故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据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可知制作了书中大部分菜谱之后，我决定自己更大的挑战，我想创造自己的菜肴，结合选项故选C。

【4】词义猜测题。根据it所在的原文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. 另我惊讶的是我的父母允许我建造一个实验厨房，我在那里实验了我的很多菜肴，并且我的厨艺也增长了很多，所以这里的it指的是实验厨房，故选B。

【5】推理判断题。通过阅读最后一段Now I know that when you stop caring whether you’ll be famous or do well, your dream will come to you.可知作者并没有在意是否会成功，做饭只是他的一个爱好，所以对作者来说重要的是做自己喜欢的事情，故选C。

做题前首先要通读短文，读懂文章大意。前3题是细节理解题，分别从文章具体细节判断答案。最后一题是推理判断题，文章并没有直接给出答案，需要根据文章去推测，一般一篇记叙文的最后一段会对文章进行总结以及表达出作者的某种思想或情感，所以认真阅读最后一段很重要。通过阅读文章及其最后一段，我们知道做饭是作者的爱好，而非工作及其它需要，故选C。
