语篇品读 In a statement released last week, the English-French TV personality said that he’d decided to shut the fine-dining institution, opened by his father Albert Roux and uncle Michel Roux Sr. 56 years ago, to spend more time with his family. “I know this will come as a shock to many of you, so please know this decision has not been made lightly,” wrote Roux Jr., who has appeared in TV shows such as “Michel Roux’s French Country Cooking,” and Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” explaining that he wanted to “make time for a better work-life balance.” “Le Gavroche means so much, not just to myself and the Roux family, but to the wider Gavroche team and you, our guests, who have become our family over so many years.”He went on to explain that the end of the current lease on the establishment, located in Mayfair, had provided him with “the opportunity to assess and consider the future,” and he felt that now was the right time “to turn the page and move forward.” Roux Jr., who has been running the iconic restaurant since 1991, said that Le Gavroche would be closing on a high, and continues to be fully booked each week. Admitting that he had mixed emotions about the decision, Roux Jr. stressed that the restaurant would “live on” in the form of pop-up and over events. Named after a character in Victor Hugo’s novel “Les Miserables,” it opened in Sloane Square back in 1968 and soon became the first UK restaurant to be awarded with a Michelin star, and the first to win a second. In 1982, after moving to London’s Upper Brook Street in Mayfair, it became the first to be awarded three Michelin stars, which it held until 1993. According to the restaurant’s official website, many up and coming chefs including Ramsay, Marco Pierre White and Marcus Wareing, have “earned their stripes” at Le Gavroche in the more than five decades since it first launched.“Le Gavroche has changed the face of the UK and London restaurant scene and its legacy is unmatched,” added Roux Jr. 全文翻译 在上周发布的一份声明中，英法电视名人表示，他决定关闭这家由父亲阿尔伯特·鲁和叔叔老米歇尔·鲁56年前开设的高级餐厅，以便有更多时间陪伴家人。 曾出演过《米歇尔·鲁克斯的法国乡村烹饪》和戈登·拉姆齐的《地狱厨房》等电视节目的小鲁克斯写道：“我知道这会让你们很多人感到震惊，所以请知道这个决定不是轻率做出的。”他解释说，他想“腾出时间来更好地平衡工作和生活。” “勒伽弗洛什意义重大，不仅对我和鲁克斯家族，而且对更广泛的伽弗洛什团队和你们，我们的客人，多年来他们已经成为我们的家人。”他接着解释说，位于梅菲尔的这家公司目前的租约到期，为他提供了“评估和考虑未来的机会”，他觉得现在是“翻开新的一页，向前迈进”的正确时机。 自1991年以来一直经营这家标志性餐厅的Roux Jr.表示，Le Gavroche将迎来一个高潮，而且每周都会被预订一空。小鲁克斯承认，他对这一决定有着复杂的情绪，他强调，这家餐厅将以新的形式“活下去”。 它以维克多·雨果小说《悲惨世界》中的一个角色命名，1968年在斯隆广场开业，很快成为第一家获得米其林星级的英国餐厅，也是第一家获得第二颗星的餐厅。1982年，在搬到伦敦梅菲尔的上布鲁克街后，它成为第一家获得米其林三星的酒店，并一直保持到1993年。 根据该餐厅的官方网站，自Le Gavroche开业以来的50多年里，包括拉姆齐、马尔科·皮埃尔·怀特和马库斯·沃林在内的许多后起之秀厨师都在该餐厅“赢得了荣誉”。Roux Jr.补充道：“Le Gavroche改变了英国和伦敦餐厅的面貌，其遗产无与伦比。”。 词块积累 1. release v. 发布，公开 2. shock n. 令人震惊的事 3. establishment n. 建立，确立 4. move forward 前进 5. admit v. 承认，准许…进入 6. be awarded with 被授予…… 7. according to 根据 8. decade n. 十年
语篇品读 China launches anti-food waste campaign amid global food crisis https://news.cgtn.com（高考题源报刊） China has stepped up efforts to reduce food waste as an effort to reform its food systems and to meet one of the goals of UN 2030 Agenda: Zero Hunger, as a recent UN report warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years and almost 690 million people in the world were undernourished in 2019. Though China doesn't face a food crisis and has bumper harvests in consecutive years, the Chinese President still stressed that people should "maintain a sense of crisis about food security" and urged relevant departments to build a long-term mechanism to stop food wastage. In China, the Constitution stipulates that the state should practice frugality and oppose waste. China's agricultural law also regulates that citizens should cherish and save food. Other laws like the environmental law, consumer rights protection law and food security law advocate that all parties shall avoid wasting resources and polluting the environment. But legal experts say the concepts are vague and not specific enough. Zhang Guilong, an official of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, told CCTV that the committee, together with other departments, is conducting research to strengthen legislation regarding food waste. They are going to make specific and clear provisions in food production, storage, transportation, processing and consumption stages to reduce waste. Globally, some environmentalists say the waste of food is also a waste of water, land, energy and other earth resources, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions and other forms of environmental pollution. The UN warned in its report that without efforts to reform global food systems, its target of zero hunger by 2030 will be missed. 全文翻译 中国在全球粮食危机中发起反食品浪费运动 中国加大了减少粮食浪费的力度，以改革其粮食系统，实现联合国2030年议程的目标之一：零饥饿。联合国最近的一份报告警告称，世界正处于50年来最严重的粮食危机边缘，2019年全球近6.9亿人营养不良。 尽管中国没有面临粮食危机，而且已经连续几年丰收，但中国国家主席仍然强调，人们应该“保持粮食安全的危机感”，并敦促有关部门建立制止粮食浪费的长效机制。 在中国，宪法规定国家应当厉行节约，反对浪费。中国农业法还规定，公民应当珍惜和节约粮食。其他法律，如环境法、消费者权益保护法和食品安全法，主张各方应避免浪费资源和污染环境。但法律专家表示，这些概念很模糊，不够具体。 全国人大常委会法制工作委员会官员张桂龙告诉中央电视台，该委员会正在与其他部门一起进行研究，以加强有关食品浪费的立法。他们将在食品生产、储存、运输、加工和消费阶段做出具体明确的规定，以减少浪费。 在全球范围内，一些环保人士表示，浪费食物也是对水、土地、能源和其他地球资源的浪费，导致温室气体排放和其他形式的环境污染。 联合国在其报告中警告称，如果不努力改革全球粮食系统，到2030年实现零饥饿的目标将无法实现。 句式仿写 1.我们能看到人工智能已经在很多方面影响了我们的生活。 We can observe that artificial intelligence has already made an impact on our lives in many ways. 2.减轻压力最有效的方法之一就是跟你信任的人谈谈你的情感。 One of the most effective ways to reduce stress is to talk about feelings with someone you trust. 3.现在, 骑自行车、慢跑和游泳被认为是最全面的锻炼方式之一。 Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, is regarded as one of the best all-round forms of exercise.

人与社会 饮食文化 介绍四种韩国泡菜 ★★★
Kimchi, which tastes similar to the Chinese Pao Cai, is not only a main dish eaten at nearly every meal by Koreans, but also an important ingredient(配料)in many other Korean foods.
While the most popular variety is the spicy kimchi made of cabbage, there are more than 100 different types of kimchi made of various vegetables, like radish(小萝卜), onion or carrot. Thanks to its unique fermentation(发酵)process, kimchi is selected by the American magazine Health as one of the top five healthiest foods in the world and helps prevent the growth of cancer.
Cabbage Kimchi
Enjoyed by most Koreans, Cabbage Kimchi is made with a whole, uncut salted cabbage mixed with Korean chili powder, garlic, fish sauce(酱)and other spices.
Radish Kimchi
The basic ingredients used for creating this kimchi are the same to those used to make Cabbage Kimchi, except that the cabbage is replaced with radish. The distinct characteristics of this kimchi are that it is pleasantly hard and that it makes a noise when you chew it.
Water Kimchi
This is a less spicy kind of kimchi that uses both cabbage and radish. Using a great deal of kimchi water, it tastes sweeter than other types of kimchi due to the addition of sliced fruits such as apple and pear.
Young Radish Kimchi
Young Radish Kimchi is prepared and eaten in summer when cabbages are not yet ready for harvest. This kimchi is made using young summer radishes, mixed with Korean chili powder and green onions, giving it a unique smell and taste.

A．Water Kimchi. B．Cabbage Kimchi.
C．Radish Kimchi. D．Young Radish Kimchi.
2．When is Young Radish Kimchi prepared
A．In spring. B．In summer.
C．In autumn. D．In winter.
3．What can we say about the Korean kimchi
A．It tastes the same to Pao Cai. B．It has to be mixed with onions.
C．It is a type of fermented food. D．It is just used as an ingredient.
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四种韩国泡菜。
1．细节理解题。根据 Water Kimchi 部分中“This is a less spicy kind of kimchi that uses both cabbage and radish. Using a great deal of kimchi water, it tastes sweeter than other types of kimchi due to the addition of sliced fruits such as apple and pear.（这是一种不太辣的泡菜，用的是卷心菜和萝卜。因为加入了苹果、梨等切片水果，所以加入了大量泡菜水，比其他泡菜更甜。）”可知，Water Kimchi尝起来甜而不辣。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据 Young Radish Kimchi 部分中“Young Radish Kimchi is prepared and eaten in summer when cabbages are not yet ready for harvest. （小萝卜泡菜是在夏天卷心菜还没有成熟的时候准备和食用的。）”可知，小萝卜泡菜是在夏天被准备的。故选B。
3．细节理解题。根据第二段“Thanks to its unique fermentation (发酵)process,kimchi is selected by the American magazine Health as one of the top five healthiest foods in the world and helps prevent the growth of cancer.（泡菜因其独特的发酵过程，被美国《健康》杂志选为世界五大健康食品之一，并有助于预防癌症的生长。）”可知，韩国泡菜是一种发酵食品。故选C。

人与社会 饮食与生活 烹饪与饮食习惯的变化 ★★★★
（2023·全国乙卷C篇）What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
28. What do people usually think of British food
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation.
29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential.
30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now
A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%.
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了电视烹饪节目引起了英国人日常饮食、烹饪习惯以及对烹饪态度的变化。
28. A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting ”（当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？）可知，提及英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉，所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。
29. D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”（正是由于电视上的这些大厨，而不是凭借广告宣传活动，英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐，而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯。）和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”（似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。）可知，英国的烹饪节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法，尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的烹饪习惯，由此推知英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。
30. D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.”（几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多，将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。）可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。
31. B 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.”（随着电视上出现越来越多男性厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。）可知，接下来，文章应该具体介绍电视上的男性厨师，从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B项。

人与社会 人际交往 参加晚宴的建议 ★★★★
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
（2021·全国乙卷阅读理解七选五）According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
36 , if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living ”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. 37 , it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
38 If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台).If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 39 .
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬). 40 . Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question “How did you get here ”
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most
【导语】如何在晚宴上让自己变得有趣。
【解析】36.选B。本句为段落主题句。从本段中的“if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time”, 及“be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers”可知本段主要谈论了走出了自己的舒适区,或者第一次走进别人的家里,敢于冒险,尝试不同的食物,和陌生人交谈。B 项第一步是探索,符合语境。
37.选C。本句为细节支撑句(段中题)。从此空后的标点符号和符号后句子可推知,此空应该填入一个从句。再根据“I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” (“我有一辆旧的,坏了的车”或者“我和这些疯狂的人一起坐在公共汽车上,他们在后面笑着愚蠢的笑话)和代词it,可知C项如果你问“你怎么来的 ”符合语境。
38.选F。本句为段落主题句。从此空后的标点符号可知此处应填入一个问句。再根据“If you can’t take their wine away”中的“wine”和F项中的“has had too much to drink”属于同一范畴的表达,故F项那个喝多了或者不停说话的人怎么办,符合语境。
39.选E。本句为细节支撑句。与此句前的“If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.”构成并列句中的选择关系,故E项或者把谈话变成一个他们无话可说的话题,符合语境。
40.选G。本句为细节支撑句(段中题)。根据段落主题句可知,本段主要讲面对“other dinner-party killer: awkward silence(宴会杀手:尴尬的沉默)”我们该怎么办。由“the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment”和G选项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most(他或她是最能感受到这种尴尬的人)”中的“He or she(指代host)”及“awkwardness(原词复现)”可知G项符合语境。

语篇品读 In a statement released last week, the English-French TV personality said that he’d decided to shut the fine-dining institution, opened by his father Albert Roux and uncle Michel Roux Sr. 56 years ago, to spend more time with his family. “I know this will come as a shock to many of you, so please know this decision has not been made lightly,” wrote Roux Jr., who has appeared in TV shows such as “Michel Roux’s French Country Cooking,” and Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” explaining that he wanted to “make time for a better work-life balance.” “Le Gavroche means so much, not just to myself and the Roux family, but to the wider Gavroche team and you, our guests, who have become our family over so many years.”He went on to explain that the end of the current lease on the establishment, located in Mayfair, had provided him with “the opportunity to assess and consider the future,” and he felt that now was the right time “to turn the page and move forward.” Roux Jr., who has been running the iconic restaurant since 1991, said that Le Gavroche would be closing on a high, and continues to be fully booked each week. Admitting that he had mixed emotions about the decision, Roux Jr. stressed that the restaurant would “live on” in the form of pop-up and over events. Named after a character in Victor Hugo’s novel “Les Miserables,” it opened in Sloane Square back in 1968 and soon became the first UK restaurant to be awarded with a Michelin star, and the first to win a second. In 1982, after moving to London’s Upper Brook Street in Mayfair, it became the first to be awarded three Michelin stars, which it held until 1993. According to the restaurant’s official website, many up and coming chefs including Ramsay, Marco Pierre White and Marcus Wareing, have “earned their stripes” at Le Gavroche in the more than five decades since it first launched.“Le Gavroche has changed the face of the UK and London restaurant scene and its legacy is unmatched,” added Roux Jr. 全文翻译 在上周发布的一份声明中，英法电视名人表示，他决定关闭这家由父亲阿尔伯特·鲁和叔叔老米歇尔·鲁56年前开设的高级餐厅，以便有更多时间陪伴家人。 曾出演过《米歇尔·鲁克斯的法国乡村烹饪》和戈登·拉姆齐的《地狱厨房》等电视节目的小鲁克斯写道：“我知道这会让你们很多人感到震惊，所以请知道这个决定不是轻率做出的。”他解释说，他想“腾出时间来更好地平衡工作和生活。” “勒伽弗洛什意义重大，不仅对我和鲁克斯家族，而且对更广泛的伽弗洛什团队和你们，我们的客人，多年来他们已经成为我们的家人。”他接着解释说，位于梅菲尔的这家公司目前的租约到期，为他提供了“评估和考虑未来的机会”，他觉得现在是“翻开新的一页，向前迈进”的正确时机。 自1991年以来一直经营这家标志性餐厅的Roux Jr.表示，Le Gavroche将迎来一个高潮，而且每周都会被预订一空。小鲁克斯承认，他对这一决定有着复杂的情绪，他强调，这家餐厅将以新的形式“活下去”。 它以维克多·雨果小说《悲惨世界》中的一个角色命名，1968年在斯隆广场开业，很快成为第一家获得米其林星级的英国餐厅，也是第一家获得第二颗星的餐厅。1982年，在搬到伦敦梅菲尔的上布鲁克街后，它成为第一家获得米其林三星的酒店，并一直保持到1993年。 根据该餐厅的官方网站，自Le Gavroche开业以来的50多年里，包括拉姆齐、马尔科·皮埃尔·怀特和马库斯·沃林在内的许多后起之秀厨师都在该餐厅“赢得了荣誉”。Roux Jr.补充道：“Le Gavroche改变了英国和伦敦餐厅的面貌，其遗产无与伦比。”。 词块积累 1. release v. 发布，公开 2. shock n. 令人震惊的事 3. establishment n. 建立，确立 4. move forward 前进 5. admit v. 承认，准许…进入 6. be awarded with 被授予…… 7. according to 根据 8. decade n. 十年
语篇品读 China launches anti-food waste campaign amid global food crisis https://news.cgtn.com（高考题源报刊） China has stepped up efforts to reduce food waste as an effort to reform its food systems and to meet one of the goals of UN 2030 Agenda: Zero Hunger, as a recent UN report warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years and almost 690 million people in the world were undernourished in 2019. Though China doesn't face a food crisis and has bumper harvests in consecutive years, the Chinese President still stressed that people should "maintain a sense of crisis about food security" and urged relevant departments to build a long-term mechanism to stop food wastage. In China, the Constitution stipulates that the state should practice frugality and oppose waste. China's agricultural law also regulates that citizens should cherish and save food. Other laws like the environmental law, consumer rights protection law and food security law advocate that all parties shall avoid wasting resources and polluting the environment. But legal experts say the concepts are vague and not specific enough. Zhang Guilong, an official of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, told CCTV that the committee, together with other departments, is conducting research to strengthen legislation regarding food waste. They are going to make specific and clear provisions in food production, storage, transportation, processing and consumption stages to reduce waste. Globally, some environmentalists say the waste of food is also a waste of water, land, energy and other earth resources, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions and other forms of environmental pollution. The UN warned in its report that without efforts to reform global food systems, its target of zero hunger by 2030 will be missed. 全文翻译 中国在全球粮食危机中发起反食品浪费运动 中国加大了减少粮食浪费的力度，以改革其粮食系统，实现联合国2030年议程的目标之一：零饥饿。联合国最近的一份报告警告称，世界正处于50年来最严重的粮食危机边缘，2019年全球近6.9亿人营养不良。 尽管中国没有面临粮食危机，而且已经连续几年丰收，但中国国家主席仍然强调，人们应该“保持粮食安全的危机感”，并敦促有关部门建立制止粮食浪费的长效机制。 在中国，宪法规定国家应当厉行节约，反对浪费。中国农业法还规定，公民应当珍惜和节约粮食。其他法律，如环境法、消费者权益保护法和食品安全法，主张各方应避免浪费资源和污染环境。但法律专家表示，这些概念很模糊，不够具体。 全国人大常委会法制工作委员会官员张桂龙告诉中央电视台，该委员会正在与其他部门一起进行研究，以加强有关食品浪费的立法。他们将在食品生产、储存、运输、加工和消费阶段做出具体明确的规定，以减少浪费。 在全球范围内，一些环保人士表示，浪费食物也是对水、土地、能源和其他地球资源的浪费，导致温室气体排放和其他形式的环境污染。 联合国在其报告中警告称，如果不努力改革全球粮食系统，到2030年实现零饥饿的目标将无法实现。 句式仿写 1.我们能看到人工智能已经在很多方面影响了我们的生活。 2.减轻压力最有效的方法之一就是跟你信任的人谈谈你的情感。 3.现在, 骑自行车、慢跑和游泳被认为是最全面的锻炼方式之一。

人与社会 饮食与生活 烹饪与饮食习惯的变化 ★★★★
（2023·全国乙卷C篇）What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
28. What do people usually think of British food
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation.
29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential.
30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now
A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%.
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters.

（2021·全国乙卷阅读理解七选五）According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
36 , if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living ”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. 37 , it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
38 If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台).If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 39 .
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬). 40 . Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question “How did you get here ”
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most
