2023全国乙卷 C
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? Eventhough Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine , it is producing more top classchefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently topthe best seller lists.
lt'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. lt 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 coursesat UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what peoplethink 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 T'V chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and youngpeople are also getting more interested in cooking. The Uk's ob.session( 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. lt is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes.
D. It deserves a high reputation.
29. Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?
A.Authoritative.
C.Profitable.
B.Creative.
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.
What do people usually think of British food?
答案及解析：
28.文章开头提到，当人们想到英国食物时，可能会想到鱼和薯条或者周日的一餐肉和两份蔬菜，这表明人们通常认为英国食物简单朴素。
29.答案: D. Influential.
文章中提到电视厨师们帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法，并且鼓励英国人尝试不同的食物，这表明电视烹饪节目对人们有影响力。
30.答案: D. 33%.
文章中提到，几乎三分之一的人现在使用比以前更广泛的配料，这意味着大约33%的人在使用更多样化的配料。
31.答案: B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
文章最后一段提到了越来越多的男性厨师出现在电视上，并且对于男孩子喜欢烹饪也不再是“不酷”的事情。因此，作者可能会继续谈论电视节目中的男性厨师。

2023全国乙卷 D
If you want to tell the history of the whole word , a history that does not privilege one part or humanity, you cannot do it through texis alone , because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not, Witing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate(有文字的)societies reorded their concerns not only in writing but in tings
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply Can't. The clearest example of this between leterate and non-iterate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay between Captain Cook's voyaye and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's reord of that trrible day. From the Australian side , we have only a wooden shield(盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. lf we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and stictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victones accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the lncas, all of whom appear in this book , can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made:a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact(联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. lf we are to find the other half of that conversation . we have to read not just the texts . but the objects.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. How past events should be presented.
B. What humopity is concerned about.
C.Whether facts speak louder than words.
D. Wiy written language is rliable.
33. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?
A. His report was sintifi?
B.Ne rpresented the local pople.
C.He ruley over Botany Bay.
D.His record was one-sided.
34. What does the underlined word " conversation" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Problem.
B.History.
C. Voice.
D.Society.
35. Which of the following books is the text most likely slected from?
A. How Maps Tell Stories of the World
B. A Short Nistory of Ausralia
C. A Hishry of the World in 100 Objects
D. How Ant Works Tell Stories
答案及解析：
32. A. How past events should be presented.
第一段主要讨论的是如何呈现历史事件，作者指出不能只通过文字来讲述历史，因为世界上只有部分地区有文字记录，而大部分地区的历史则是通过物品等非文字形式传承下来的。因此，正确答案是A，即如何呈现过去的事件。
33. D.His record was one-sided.
第二段中提到：“From the English side，we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side，we have only a wooden shield dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot.”(从英国方面，我们有科学报告和船长关于那可怕的一天的记录。从澳大利亚方面，我们只有一名男子在第一次经历枪击后逃跑时扔下的木盾。)这说明船长库克的记录只是从英国人的角度出发，因此是单方面的。因此，作者提到库克船长是为了表明他的记录是单方面的，选项D正确。
34. B.History.
根据文章第三段中的句子"lf we are to find the other half of that conversation，we have to read not just the texts，but the objects."，可以推断出"conversation"指的是历史，因为我们需要通过文字和物品来了解历史的全部内容。因此，正确答案是B，即历史。
35. C. A Hishry of the World in 100 Objects
文章提到了通过物品来讲述历史，而选项C的书名“A History of the World in 100 Objects”正是通过100个物品来讲述世界历史的书籍，因此最符合文章主题。
