本文属于叙事类记叙文，以中外不同的菜系为主线，讲述了一个中英跨国家庭在饮食习惯的碰撞和融合中发生的一些有趣的故事，通过这些故事反映了食物与文化之间的联系。饮食上的不同折射着文化之间的差异。
阅读此类文章必须理清主线。因为主线是文章的纲，抓住这个纲，才能更好地理解文章的中心思想。本文标题“A Child of Two Cuisines”中的Two Cuisines即点明了本文的主线。阅读本文时，还要注意表达人物对食物的观点的句子，了解中英饮食差异。
(一)赏用词之妙

赏析：was even shocked at形象地描写了中外饮食文化的差异给作者的爸爸带来的内心冲击，副词even加强了语气。
2．Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet.
赏析：take to指“养成做某事的习惯”，此处does not easily take to与Even today搭配，凸显了即使现在，作者的爸爸也仍旧对吃鸡爪之类食物的抵触之态，体现了中外饮食差异。
3．“You needn't try it if you don't want to，” Mum said, but I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad.
赏析：本句中的gathered all my courage及take a bite两个动作形象传神地写出了作者鼓足勇气、尝试吃臭豆腐的情形，后面的and was amazed to find则运用了对比手法，画面感十足地写出了作者情感上的变化以及对臭豆腐的认可。

(二)赏句式之高
1．Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork — and chopsticks!
赏析：该句中Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother是现在分词短语在句中作状语，简洁明了地表明了作者喜欢中英两个国家的食物的原因，避免了句式繁杂。
2．To me, there's nothing better than a cross cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!
赏析：本句中的nothing better than为“否定词＋比较级”结构，用于表示最高级含义，通常译为“没有比……更……的了，没有像……一样……的了”。本句作为文章的结尾句，运用该结构生动地表现了作者对中英两种文化中的食物的喜爱之情，照应了标题——享受跨国美食的孩子。
①_______________________________， I think it is a good idea for you to choose them.
得知你们学校开设中文课，我认为你选修该课程是个不错的想法。
②__________________________________ spending time with the family.
没有什么比和家人在一起更好的事情了。
(三)赏修辞之功
1．(比喻修辞)I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe.
赏析：“looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe”用比喻的修辞手法描绘了臭豆腐的外形和气味，形象生动，而且突出了其不易令人接受的特点。
2．(引用修辞)People say that one man's meat is another man's poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures.
赏析：作者此处引用了英语谚语one man's meat is another man's poison(一个人的佳肴可能是另一个人的毒药)来说明不同的人有着不同的口味。此处引用谚语婉转地说明中英两种文化中的食物作者都喜欢，不仅呼应了标题，还增强说服力，同时令语言更加精练，含蓄典雅。

(四)赏衔接之顺
Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother.
赏析：首句中的and一词承接前半句介绍了妈妈对家乡食物的喜爱，接着用Thanks to this引出了妈妈对爸爸的影响，然后用but一词引导语意转折，与后面的even after many years of搭配使用，指出尽管已受妈妈影响多年了，爸爸还是有一些不敢尝试的菜肴，从而顺畅地引出下面的话题。

Chinese Dumplings — Wealth
With a history of more than 1,800 years, dumplings are a classic Chinese food, and a traditional dish eaten on Chinese New Year's Eve, widely popular in China, especially in North China.
Chinese dumplings can be made to look like Chinese silver ingots ( boat shaped, oval, and turned up at the two ends). Legend has it that the more dumplings you eat during the New Year celebrations, the more money you can make in the New Year.
Dumplings generally consist of minced meat and finely chopped vegetables and elastic dough skin. Popular fillings are minced pork, diced shrimp, fish, ground chicken, beef, and vegetables. They can be cooked by boiling, steaming, frying or baking.
Chinese don't eat Chinese sauerkraut dumplings at Spring Festival, and difficult future. On New Year's Eve it is a tradition to eat dumplings with cabbage and radish,
When making dumplings there should be a good number of pleats. If you make the junction too flat, it is thought to purport poverty.
Some Chinese put a white thread inside a dumpling, and the one who eats that dumpling is supposed to possess longevity.Sometimes a copper coin is put in a dumpling, and the one who eats it is supposed to become wealthy.
Dumplings should be arranged in lines instead of circles, because circles of dumplings are supposed to mean one's life will go round in circles, never going anywhere.

A
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 is famous for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class cooks who appear often on our television screens and whose recipe books often top the best seller lists.
It's thanks to these TV cooks 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 falling 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, one in five Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use more various ingredients (食材) than they used to, and just under one in four say that they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV cooks 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 cooks on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。
1．What do people usually think of British food
A．It is rich in kinds.
B．It is simple and ordinary.
C．It tastes delicious.
D．It is inviting.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“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？”可知，提及英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼和薯条或一荤两素的周日晚餐，所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选B。
2．Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A．Interesting. B．Creative.
C．Influential. D．Disappointing.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It's thanks to these TV cooks 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.”以及“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”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。由此可推知，英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选C。
3．Which is the percentage of the people using more different ingredients now
A．20%. B．24%.
C．25%. D．33%.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use more various ingredients (食材) than they used to”可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的食材种类比以前更多。故选D。
4．What might the author continue talking about
A．Studies of big eaters.
B．Table manners in the UK.
C．Male cooks on TV programmes.
D．The art of cooking in other countries.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句可推知，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C。
B
Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜), are seen as “hot”， while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小萝卜), are seen
as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual's health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry (枸杞子), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对中国的滋补食物进行了简要的介绍。
5．What is the present situation of tonic food
A．It is catching less attention of youth.
B．It is enjoyed by many young people.
C．It is well-known worldwide.
D．It is becoming increasingly popular.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，目前滋补食物不再受到年轻人的追捧。故选A。
√
6．What is believed to benefit new mothers

Many countries have traditional dishes, made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way. 9 ， and when tourists visit, these are the foods they want to try. But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas
Traditional ingredients
Typical recipes are usually made with native plant and animal products. For example, Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot, wet areas. In contrast, wheat grows well in drier areas, like the Middle East, where bread is a common staple food. 10 ， whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals.
Food preservation
Local cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage. In warm weather, meat and fish can go off quickly, so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later. 11 ， for that reason, modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.
Cooking techniques
12 . In China, people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water. In Morocco, people cook traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine. And some local dishes aren't cooked at all.
Imported (进口的) ingredients
Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally came from another place. 13 ， while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes. However, all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But now they are common around the world.
A．Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areas
B．There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost
C．Many different cooking techniques are used around the world
D．For example, Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers
E．These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its culture
F．Nowadays, we can buy food products from all around the world
G．In Norway, the Vikings used to “cure” meat and fish by smoking them over a fire

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 is famous for less than impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class cooks who appear often on our television screens and whose recipe books often top the best seller lists.
It's thanks to these TV cooks 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 falling 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, one in five Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use more various ingredients (食材) than they used to, and just under one in four say that they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV cooks 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 cooks on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
1．What do people usually think of British food
A．It is rich in kinds.
B．It is simple and ordinary.
C．It tastes delicious.
D．It is inviting.
2．Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A．Interesting. B．Creative.
C．Influential. D．Disappointing.
3．Which is the percentage of the people using more different ingredients now
A．20%. B．24%.
C．25%. D．33%.
4．What might the author continue talking about
A．Studies of big eaters.
B．Table manners in the UK.
C．Male cooks on TV programmes.
D．The art of cooking in other countries.

Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜), are seen as “hot”， while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小萝卜), are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual's health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry (枸杞子), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick me up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
5．What is the present situation of tonic food
A．It is catching less attention of youth.
B．It is enjoyed by many young people.
C．It is well known worldwide.
D．It is becoming increasingly popular.
6．What is believed to benefit new mothers
A．Chinese cabbage.
B．Fruit tea.
C．Sesame oil hotpot.
D．Pig brain soup.
7．Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3
A．Medicine. B．Restaurant.
C．Education. D．Fashion.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
B．The Popularity of Tonic Food
C．An Introduction to Chinese Tonic Food
