　　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.
1. What do people usually think of British food

UNIT 3　FOOD AND CULTURE
高考真题练
◎语篇解读　本文是说明文,主要介绍了英国推出的一些电视烹饪节目使更多的英国人改变吃快餐的习惯而对烹饪产生兴趣。
1.A　推理判断题。根据题干关键词think of British food可定位到第一段。根据“Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting...less-than-impressive cuisine...”可知,当被问到能想到什么英国食物时,人们可能会想到炸鱼加薯条,或者是星期天的晚餐——肉和两种蔬菜。这些是很乏味、平庸的。这表明人们通常认为英国食物是简单和普通的。故选A。
2.D　推理判断题。根据题干关键词cookery programmes on British TV可定位到第二段。根据thanks to these TV chefs、becoming more adventurous、change or improve their cooking in some way以及a rise in the number of students applying for food courses可知,本段说明烹饪节目对英国人产生了各种影响。根据本段最后一句中的“helped change what people think about cooking”可知,烹饪节目是有影响力的(Influential),有助于改变英国人对烹饪的看法。故选D。
3.D　细节理解题。根据题干关键词using more diverse ingredients now可定位到第三段第二句。根据“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients than they used to”可知,几乎三分之一(33%)的人说他们现在使用更多种类的配料。故选D。
4.B　推理判断题。根据文章尾句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer ‘uncool’ for boys to like cooking.”可知,随着电视上男厨师越来越多,男孩喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事情了。由此可推断出,接下来很可能是写有关男厨师的内容。故选B。
