第二部分阅读理解(共三节，44 分)

第一节(共13 小题;每小题 2分，共 26 分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在

答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you

throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted

good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample

menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by

mistake.

POTATO CHIPS

One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating

dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular

side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent

them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized

that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the

diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.

TOFU

Tofu, or beancurd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid

block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook

added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for

making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create

something unexpectedly good.

CHEESE PUFFS

Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t

even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall

Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an

employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine,

wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal

came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air, Wilson took some of the

ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs!

21. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

The company that invented cheese got its inspiration from Tofu.

B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking.

C. Hot wet cornmeal turned soft when it hit the air.

D. Tofu dates back to 2000 years ago in China.

22. What do the three foods have in common?

A. They were not created on purpose.

They are the results of complaints.

C. They weren’t originally made for people.

D. They are all popular throughout the world.
