The success of these shows is a clear indication of the strong appeal of the cookery experience to people. Whether it's recipe instructions, review of a restaurant or coverage (专访) of a chef, people are hungry to find out more about the food they eat.One of the latest entries among the food programs is the Emmynominated Award Netflix series, Chef's Table, which features more than just ways to prepare fine food. Viewers tune in to each episode (一集) to hear a personal story from a distinguished chef. Each chef's tale is hearttouching with their own unique life experience. Take American chef Grant Achatz for example. The journey to operating one of the highest ranked restaurants in North America took a very personal turn. In 2007, Achatz was diagnosed with mouth cancer and lost his sense of taste. Amazingly, he regained it, and has gone on to pioneer a new“progressive American” style of cooking.Each chef has his own fascinating story, and the series highlights an important common thread among them: culture. Because food is so connected with the culture it comes from, each chef represents whatever traditions and cooking techniques they've come out of. They combine their culture's traditional cooking with new tastes. In fact, many chefs work tirelessly at redefining an entire culture's expectation for eating.Despite having a number of unconventional elements associated with their cooking, one thing is clear: Cooking is an incredibly meaningful experience for each chef. One guest described his time at one chef's restaurant by saying “Eating there is like looking at someone who has put his soul into the food”语篇解读：文章介绍了美食节目系列纪录片主厨的餐桌，这一节目向观众们展示了每位主厨佐以自己独特的个人经历，淬炼出令人难以抗拒的佳肴，将饮食与文化完美地结合在一起，是该档节目的一大特色。12What does the success of the food programs show?AMore chefs are in demand.BThese programs are a new fashion trend.CPeople are hungry to find out what they eat.DPeople are interested in the cookery experience.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，这些节目的成功暗示出烹饪体验对于人们有着很强的吸引力。故D项切题。13What do we know about Chef's Table?AIt is the latest food program.BIt is an awardwinning television series featuring unique chefs.CPeople watch it in order to hear the hearttouching stories.DGrant Achatz is the most famous chef in the program.解析：选B细节理解题。由第二段前两句可知，Netflix 平台播出的Chef's Table是美食节目中最新的代表作品之一，获得了艾美提名奖。该节目不仅教导人们如何烹饪佳肴，同时还讲述了名厨的个人经历。故B项切题。14What does the author intend to tell readers in Paragraph 3?ACulture counts in cooking and eating.BThe chefs are trying to change the eating culture.CA good chef should highlight traditional cooking.DEach chef has his own fascinating story about culture.解析：选A推理判断题。由第三段第一句可知，文化是贯穿整个纪录片的主线；由第二句可知，食物总是与其所源自的文化息息相关，每一位厨师都代表了自己师承源流的文化传统以及烹饪技法。所以，文化在烹饪和饮食方面非常关键。故A项切题。15What is the best title for the text?AChef's StoryBFood and CultureCA Popular Entertaining ProgramDChef's Table: Food with a Story解析：选D标题归纳题。本文介绍了美食节目Chef's Table中的主厨们佐以个人独特的人生经历，淬炼出令人难以抗拒的佳肴。故D项切题。A、B两项属于以偏概全，只是节目的一个方面。C项太过笼统，范围太大。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) How to become a more thankful personIn the business of daytoday life, we often forget to stop and be grateful for the present moment.
