话题解读
文化
早知道
中国的饮食文化源远流长，博大精深，是中华文化的重要组成部分。中国公认的八大菜系有川菜、粤菜、鲁菜、苏菜、浙菜、微菜、湘菜和闽菜。除了这几种富有地域特色的菜系以外，中国的许多传统美食经过历史的考验以及人们的改良后深受大众喜爱，如月饼、饺子、粽子、元宵、八宝饭等，这些都是逢年过节中国人餐桌上常见的美食。
考情
早知道
中考对饮食文化的考查内容主要集中在中国各地的特色美食和与节日有关的美食上。
该类文章主要有两种考查形式：一种是介绍美食的做法；另外一种是介绍一些和饮食有关的习俗。例如，2024年山东烟台中考的短文填空介绍了制作月饼的方法，2024年江西中考的选词填空介绍了和江西米粉相关的一些习俗。此外，近两年还出现了一种新趋势－介绍中国美食走向世界。

老少皆宜的民间美食－糖葫芦
糖葫芦又叫冰糖葫芦，是我国著名的传统小吃。冰糖葫芦还有不少别名，比如，在东北地区它叫“糖梨膏”，在山东济南它叫“酸蘸儿”，在天津它被称为“糖墩儿”，在安徽凤阳它被称作“糖球”····
在一些人的印象中，提及冰糖葫芦，总会自然想到山楂冰糖葫芦，甚至认为冰糖葫芦就是山楂味的，实则谬矣。据清代《燕京岁时记》记载：“冰糖葫芦，乃用竹签，贯以山里红、海棠果、葡萄、麻山药、核桃仁、豆沙等，蘸以冰糖，甜脆而凉。”如此丰富的“素材”，说明冰糖葫芦本就是用冰糖将果实串食的一种技法，里面的“内容”自古便是种类繁多，因人而异。只不过在我国北方，以山楂为原料的冰糖葫芦最为普遍，也最为人熟识。究其原因，除了山楂在北方更易种植、购得外，山楂本身也可消食化积，破气散瘀。
山楂的鲜酸配上冰糖的凉甜，既是绝妙的味蕾享受，其红彤彤的颜色在新春佳节之际也显得格外红火喜庆。
语篇解读
本文主要介绍了中国的传统小吃糖葫芦以及它有趣的来历。
答案详析
1.C 根据文章首句可知，一名中国留学生在英国街头赠送糖葫芦的视频引起了很多人的关注。由此推测，她赠送糖葫芦是在邀请外国人品尝这种中国的传统小吃。
2.A 根据空后一句“Some were sweet, and some were sour.”可知，这些糖葫芦有些是甜的，有些是酸的，故推知，此处指她做了不同口味的糖葫芦。
3.D 根据语境可知，她向路过的外国人介绍了这些糖葫芦的制作过程，并和他们分享了一些关于这种小吃的有趣故事。
4.B 根据上文可知，一位身着汉服的中国留学生在英国街头赠送糖葫芦，还向路过的外国人介绍了糖葫芦的制作过程并分享了与糖葫芦有关的故事，那些外国人都对糖葫芦非常感兴趣。由此推测，他们和这位留学生合影留念，是为了纪念这次特别的经历。experience“经历；体验”，符合语境。
5.C 下文介绍了糖葫芦的来历，故此处是在问糖葫芦首次出现的时间。appear“出现”，符合语境。
6.A 根据空后两句可知，这位妃子什么东西都吃不下，大夫也找不到有效的治疗方法。由此可推知，宋光宗的这位妃子生病了。ill“有病；不舒服”，符合语境。
7.A 根据上文可知，这位妃子什么东西都吃不下，大夫也束手无策；结合空后的“doctors who could treat the concubine”可知，皇帝张贴了告示，要寻找一位能治好妃子的大夫。look for“寻找”；look at“看”；look after“照顾”；look through“浏览”。
8.B 根据上文可知，皇帝张贴告示是为了寻找大夫给生病的妃子看病，然后一名乡村大夫说他能做到，故此处指乡村大夫仔细地检查了病人，也就是生病的妃子。carefully“仔细地”，符合语境。
9.D 根据空前内容可知，乡村大夫向皇帝提议，将糖和水与山楂混合并煮熟，然后拿给妃子吃；结合上文可知，生病的妃子什么东西都吃不下，故推测这个“药方”应该是在饭前吃。
10.C 根据空前内容可知，乡村大夫称，妃子按照他的“药方”服用，两周之内就会好起来，故此处指妃子听从了他的建议，最后病情好转。advice“建议；意见”，符合语境。

早，热干面！
热干面为中国五大名面之一，是颇具特色的过早小吃。说到热干面就不得不说到武汉人对早餐的热爱。武汉人不吃早餐，这一天过得就不完整，仿佛无论何时何地，一碗热干面就是灵魂的救赎。对于武汉人来说，没有嚼完热干面底子的那一点酸豆豇就无法开启搬砖的一天。
武汉之所以形成“过早”的文化，与武汉的重要地理位置密不可分。环抱两江的武汉近代以来是重要的商贸码头。在赶工路上来不及吃早餐，只能在路上买着边走边吃。渐渐地，过早成了武汉的一种习惯，一种习俗。“过”字带着的仪式感，足以表明武汉人对早餐的重视态度；同时，与“吃早餐”这种说法相比，“过早”二字，总是带着匆忙赶时间的意味。
语篇解读
热干面是武汉有名的小吃，武汉人通常将其作为早餐。本文介绍了热干面的起源以及做法。

3.D 细节理解题。通读第二段可知，一个在武汉汉口经营小餐馆的男人因偶然间在面条里放入了油而做出了一种新的面条，他给这种面条起名为热干面，故是一个小餐馆的老板发明了热干面。
4.C 段落大意题。通读本段内容可知，本段介绍了制作热干面的步骤，即如何制作热干面。

“一盅两件”里看广州的早茶文化
广州人吃早茶的习惯其实是一种传统，无论是男女老少，在空闲假日中早晨必去的一定是茶馆酒楼。一家大小欢聚一桌，以早茶的方式代替吃饭，泡上一壶好茶，点上几笼小点，聊聊近况，似乎成了广东人闲暇时独特的生活方式。
广州人吃早茶，习惯说“一盅两件”。“盅”是指“盖碗”，即盖碗泡茶；“一盅”就是一杯茶；“两件”则是“两笼”或者“两份”的意思，泛指早茶里的点心。一人点上一种茶和两种点心，再捧上一份报纸，这便是广州人最悠闲的时刻了。“得闲饮茶”，一句简单寒暄，道出了早茶在广东人心目中的地位。
广式早茶是一种无关年龄，也无关金钱的生活态度，“饮早茶”这种生活方式同时也让许多外地朋友甚至国外友人羡慕不已。
语篇解读
在广东，吃早茶是当地人的传统。肠粉是早茶中比较受欢迎的一种小吃。本文介绍了广东肠粉的由来。

2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It was an invention made by a monk called Hui Ji.”可知，龙龛糍是由一个叫惠积的和尚发明的。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When eating this delicious snack, Qianlong was so excited”和“Later, when he returned to the capital, he still couldn't forget it.”可知，乾隆皇帝吃了龙龛糍以后非常激动，回去以后也还是对它念念不忘。由此可推知，他对龙龛糍很满意。
4.D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一种有名的广东小吃－肠粉。故D项“一种美味的广东小吃”最适合作本文标题。

“臭名远扬”的螺蛳粉
在柳州人的食谱上，螺蛳和米粉都是当地人的心头好。而把米粉和螺蛳结合起来制作螺蛳粉，则是柳州民间的一大创造。上世纪七八十年代柳州的夜市逐步繁荣，不少食客在吃米粉的时候有意无意要求在自己的米粉里加入鲜辣螺蛳汤。久而久之，摊主们开始尝试用螺蛳汤煮米粉。柳州螺蛳粉也就此诞生。
但要说柳州螺蛳粉完全是新的，似乎也并不准确。因为不管是其中哪个元素，都极具柳州当地特色。很早以前，柳州人就有嗍田螺的特别爱好，加上柳州市内的近郊水塘水坑遍地，螺蛳是当时柳州人最容易获得的食物。很多居民捕捞螺蛳煮食或售卖补贴家用。相比柳州的螺，螺蛳粉中酸笋的加工手法更值得一提。在纪录片《舌尖上的中国》里，腌制酸笋是需要用到“祖传的绝招”的。
语篇解读
螺蛳粉作为广西的知名街头小吃，不仅在国内畅销，在国外市场也很受欢迎。
答案详析
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Known as luosifen in Chinese, the dish is usually sold in night markets in Guangxi.”可知，螺蛳粉通常在广西的夜市售卖。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the dish became popular after being introduced in the food show' A Bite of China' in 2012”和“Since then, luosifen restaurants have developed quickly across the country”可知，螺蛳粉于2012年在美食节目《舌尖上的中国》中亮相后走红。自那以后，螺蛳粉餐馆在全国快速发展起来。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，据说，螺蛳粉一年的网络销量可达两千多万包，成为国内外网络市场上最受欢迎的小吃之一，网络市场对螺蛳粉行业的发展有很大帮助。由此可知，是网络市场帮助螺蛳粉成为海外流行的小吃。
4.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“In addition to the traditional export markets...Singapore and New Zealand.”可知，传统市场包括美国、澳大利亚和法国，新市场包括新加坡和新西兰。
5.A 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了广西的知名小吃－螺蛳粉。由此可推知，我们可以在杂志的“食物”版块读到这篇文章。

一口青团一口春
“彼采艾兮，为做青团。”每逢清明时节，人们将嫩艾叶切碎打成汁水，和在糯米粉中，包上馅料，放蒸笼里蒸熟，作为祭祖、春游的时令小吃。
作为江南盛行的清明小食，青团相传是为了纪念春秋时期的介子推而诞生的，当时人们在寒食节不生火做饭，只吃冷食。到了明清时期，江浙一带几乎家家户户逢清明必做青团以祭祀。
还有个和青团有关的典故：当年太平天国的忠王李秀成被清兵围困于山区断了粮，有当地农民将艾草汁揉进糯米粉内做成青色米团，置于青草筐里挑进山去。因米团和青草色近，故躲过了哨兵盘查，李秀成吃了青团得以保命，脱困后他在军中力推青团。由此看来，青团还有作为“野战口粮”的光荣历史。

Dear Mark,
Knowing that you take a great fancy to traditional Chinese food, I would love to introduce my favourite food to you.
Among all Chinese food, I like hot pot most. Hot pot has a history of more than 1,700 years in China. Since it was invented, it has been popular in China.
There are two reasons why I like to eat hot pot. On the one hand, it is a good chance to get together with my friends and family when having hot pot. On the other hand, hot pot is nutritious because there are different kinds of vegetables in it. I believe as long as you take a bite of hot pot, you will like it.
Would you like to have a try? I hope you can come to China as soon as possible.
Yours,
Li Hua
