解析试题分析: 本文是说明文体裁。作者在文中介绍了一些如何在繁忙的时间内享受做饭带来的乐趣。作者认为人们不经常做饭的原因有三个方面:能力,钱和时间。作者着重介绍了时间方面的问题,他认为要提前做好计划;要让时间花的有价值而且要人们经常去尝试新的想法和新的菜谱。
【小题1】B考查上下文的语境理解。在上文中作者提出人们不做饭的原因有能力,金钱和时间等原因,然后再空后介绍了金钱和时间问题,由此判断空格上内容是作者对能力的介绍,纵观选项B选项内容(能力是很容易提高的)符合语境,故答案选B。
【小题2】G考查上下文的语境理解。本段主题句是Think ahead,让人们要提前有计划,提前做好安排,这样做饭就不是件痛苦的事情了,所以判断G选项内容(提前一点时间做计划可以节省以后的很多时间)能够承接上文,选G。
【小题3】C考查上下文的语境理解。在前面作者提到要让时间花的更值得,提出问题.Are you making one loaf of bread ? 而且下文提到在同样多的时间内要多做几个面包,所以判断C选项内容(要做三、四个面包)能够起到承上启下的作用,答案选C。
【小题4】A考查语境理解及主题句。在本段中作者提到要多去尝试新的菜谱和新的想法,这样能力就越来越高,所以A选项内容(尝试新事物)可以概括本段中心,选A。
【小题5】F考查上下文的语境理解。在上文中作者给人们建议如何在繁忙的生活中寻找做饭的快乐,再根据空格后内容:不要因为紧张的时间安排而不能去享受生活,可以判断F选项内容(要让做饭和生活成为一种乐趣而不是负担)符合语境,选F。
考点:考查信息匹配。
