The two features of life in England that possibly give visitors the worst impressions are the English weather and English cooking. 【1】 former is a natural phenomenon and nobody can do anything about it. But cooking is something 【2】 can be learned. English food has often been described as 【3】 (taste). Recently, the situation has changed somewhat because so many people have been spending their holidays abroad and 【4】 (learn) to appreciate unfamiliar dishes. One of the traditional complaints about English food is the way that vegetables are cooked. The only way that many British housewives know to cook green vegetables is 【5】 (boil) them for too long in too much salt water and then to throw the water away so that all the vitamins are lost. To make matters 【6】 (bad), they do not strain the vegetables sufficiently so that 【7】 appear as a wet mass on the plate.

However, it would be unfair to say that all English food is bad. Indeed not only the raw ingredients are usually 【8】 very high quality, especially the meat and fish, 【9】 many traditional British dishes are as good as anything you can get anywhere. A visitor, 【10】 is invited to an English home might well enjoy steak and kidney pudding or pie, all sorts of smoked fish .

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了英國(guó)給游客留下最壞印象的兩個(gè)特點(diǎn)便是它的天氣和飯菜，本文主要為我們介紹了英國(guó)的飯菜。

【1】

考查冠詞。句意：前者是一種自然現(xiàn)象，沒有人能做什么。結(jié)合句意表示“前者”短語(yǔ)為the former，句首單詞首字母要大寫。故填The。

【2】

考查定語(yǔ)從句。此處為定語(yǔ)從句修飾先行詞something，且先行詞在從句中主語(yǔ)，先行詞為不定代詞，只能用關(guān)系代詞that。故填that。

【3】

考查形容詞。句意：英國(guó)食物通常被描述成無味道的。短語(yǔ)be described sth. as+形容詞，表示“被描述成……”，結(jié)合句意表示“無味道的”應(yīng)用形容詞tasteless。故填tasteless。

【4】

考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。此處為and連接的并列謂語(yǔ)，根據(jù)上文so many people have been spending their holidays abroad and可知為現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)，故填learning。

【5】

考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：許多英國(guó)家庭主婦所知道的烹調(diào)綠色蔬菜的唯一方法是把它們放在太多的鹽水中煮太久，然后把水倒掉，這樣所有的維生素都流失了。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)boil在句中應(yīng)用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，且本句中修飾上文The only way應(yīng)用不定式。故填to boil。

【6】

考查比較級(jí)。句意：更糟糕的是，他們沒有充分過濾蔬菜，使它們看起來像一個(gè)濕團(tuán)在盤子里。結(jié)合句意表示“更糟糕的是”短語(yǔ)為make matters worse。故填worse。

【7】

考查代詞。句意同上。此處指代上文the vegetables應(yīng)用代詞they。故填they。

【8】

考查介詞。句意：事實(shí)上，許多傳統(tǒng)英國(guó)菜肴不僅原料非常好，而且質(zhì)量也非常好，尤其是肉和魚，你可以在任何地方買到一樣好。此處表示原料很好應(yīng)用“be+ of+ n.”形式，故填of。

【9】

考查連詞。句意同時(shí)。結(jié)合句意可知表示“不僅……而且……”短語(yǔ)為not only…but(also)…。故填but。

【10】

考查定語(yǔ)從句。此處為定語(yǔ)從句修飾先行詞visitor，且先行詞在從句中作主語(yǔ)，指人應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞who。故填who。
