Question

【題目】 Chefs typically toss（拋）the frying food into the air from deep, rounded pans or woks before catching it again. Launching rice and its fixings allows a chef to cook it over really hot flames without burning. At times, temperatures in a pan can reach 1,200。 Celsius. 【1】

Scientists found that the chefs relied on a specific pattern of motion. And they repeated those motions about three times a second. 【2】 At the same time the wok was rocked to and fro. The chefs used the edge of the stovetop as a fulcrum（支點(diǎn)）on which to balance as they rocked it.

Cooks use similarly complex patterns of movement to cook up other foods. 【3】

Scientists used a computer to simulate（模仿）the tracks of rice that would occur in a wok moved in various ways. Along the way, the scientists hit on some key coo king tips. The wok moved in various ways. Along the way, the scientists hit on some key cooking tips. The rocking and sliding motions shouldn’t be done at the same time. 【4】 Also, the wok’s movements should repeat rapidly. Moving the wok even faster could launch the rice higher. That might allow cooking at higher temperatures and perhaps a quicker meal.

【5】 Chefs at Chinese restaurants can struggle with shoulder pain, studies have shown. Rapidly shaking their heavy woks could be part of the problem. One solution might be a stir-frying robot. It could be built based on their new found results to take the weight off chefs’ shoulders.

A.But faster shaking may be hard on a cook.

B.To make fried rice like a professional, use science.

C.If they are, the rice won’t mix well and could burn.

D.Each repetition included sliding a wok back and forth.

E.Cooking is hard work that needs patience and perseverance.

F.The high temperature helps create the tastiest stir-fried food.

G.They will turn the pan quickly, for instance, to get smooth, flat egg cakes.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】D

【3】G

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

這是一篇說明文，科學(xué)家對廚師炒菜時向空中拋菜的動作進(jìn)行了研究，發(fā)現(xiàn)了其中的科學(xué)道理。

【1】根據(jù)F選項中的 “The high temperature”可知，F選項與上文提到的高溫屬于同一話題。故選F項。

【2】根據(jù)D選項中的關(guān)鍵詞 “repetition”可知，D選項與上句中的 “repeated”屬于同一話題，順理成章。故選D項。

【3】G選項中的for instance是對上句中“use similarly complex patterns”的例證。故選G項。

【4】根據(jù)空白處前一句：The rocking and sliding motions shouldn’t be done at the same time. 搖擺和滑動不應(yīng)該同時進(jìn)行。同時根據(jù)C選項中的“If they are”可推斷，這個省略句的完整形式是：If they are done at the same time, the rice won’t mix well and could burn。如果是這樣的話，米飯就不能混合在一起，會燒糊的。所以在語境上選項C符合題意。故選C項。

【5】此空格位于段首，一般與上段內(nèi)容有聯(lián)系，同時引出下段內(nèi)容。上段提到搖晃炒鍋可以炒出好吃的菜。而本段主要講述廚師的勞累。由此判斷上下段之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。由A選項中的But以及內(nèi)容可知，A選項符合語境。故選A項。
