Question

Food in China and western countries is different. China has about five thousand years’ history. They may spend half of their time on food. Chinese people choose food very carefully. They only use fresh materials（新鲜的材料）to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways.   1.  Western countries, like England or America, don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarkets which only sell stored materials (储存的材料).   2. They are healthy for man’s body. Western people do not have many skills for cooking, and mostly they only boil, steam (蒸) and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desserts and chocolate. They can make very good cakes and chocolate.   3.

In China, the person who invites other people for meal would pay for the meal, but it’s not the same way in western countries.   4. They can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. In western countries like America or England, people will always give tips (小费) to the waiter after they finish the meal in a restaurant. If you don’t, the waiter will not be happy. In China this only happens in some top restaurants and hotels in large cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Another difference in eating is that:   5.

试题分析：本文讲述的是中国与西方国家人们不同的饮食习惯，不同的饮食文化。要求选择题后五句话来补全短文：A. These food are very sweet and they can make you become fat quickly.这些食物很甜并全使你快速长胖； B. Chinese people use chopsticks but western people use knives and forks.中国人用筷子而西方人用刀或叉；C. Western people also prefer fast food like hamburgers and chips.西方人还喜欢像汉堡薯条之类的快餐；D.

3.A 考查句子理解、语境理解。前句说：顺便说一下，西方人非常擅长做甜食和巧克力，他们做得非常好的蛋糕和巧克力。可以推断，本句接着说西方的甜品，这些食物很甜，人们吃了会很快长胖。故选A。
