C), took his army to southern China to wage war, aiming to unify southern China. However, the soldiers are from northern China and got used to eating wheat. They could not adapt to eating rice, which is the staple food in southern China, and couldn't digest it. In order to solve this problem. The chef had the idea to combine rice with wheat. They first inflated the rice and ground (把……磨成粉) it into rice syrup .After filtering the water from the rice syrup the chef smashed the rice into rice dough and steamed it, and then pulled it into noodles. The noodles were cooked with some special brine made from traditional Chinese medicine that cured the soldiers' digestive problems. The soldiers regained their energy after eating the cooked rice noodles, and finally unified southern China, according to reports .

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国的两种传统食物——桂林米粉和春卷。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The chef had the idea to combine rice with wheat. They first inflated the rice and ground (把……磨成粉) it into rice syrup .After filtering the water from the rice syrup the chef smashed the rice into rice dough and steamed it, and then pulled it into noodles. The noodles were cooked with some special brine made from traditional Chinese medicine that cured the soldiers' digestive problems.”可知，厨师想出了把米和小麦混合起来的主意，他们先把米膨大，磨成米浆，然后把米浆里的水过滤掉，厨师把米捣碎成面团蒸熟，然后把米粉拉成面条，面条是用一些特殊的卤水煮的，这种卤水是用中药制成的，可以治好士兵的消化问题，由此可知，桂林米粉中含有米、小麦和卤水，而不含能量，故D项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Traditionally, the spring roll is very small.”可知，传统上，春卷很小，也就是说以前的春卷很小，故A项正确。

3.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“a man from the Song Dynasty (960-1279)studied very hard and often forgot to eat meals. His wife reminded him to eat meals on time but he failed. So she came up with the idea to make rice into a pancake, and filled it with meat and vegetables.”可知，宋代时有一个男子读书非常刻苦，经常忘记吃饭。他妻子提醒他按时吃饭，但不管用，于是她想出了一个主意，把米饭做成薄饼，里面装满了肉和蔬菜，故A项正确。
