16．Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money and time．（36）BMoney is a topic I'll save for another day．So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen．Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1．Think ahead．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat．So think about of the coming week．When will you have time to cook？Do you have the right materials ready？（37）G2．Make your time worth it．When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on．Are you making one loaf of bread？（38）CIt takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So save yourself the effort for a future meal．
3．（39）AThis may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation．It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule．The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule．
Hopefully that gives you a good start．（40）Fand don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

C．Make three or four instead．
D．Understand your food better．
E．Cooking is a burden for many people．
F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden．

Answer 1

分析 作者在文中介紹了一些如何在繁忙的時間內(nèi)享受做飯帶來的樂趣．作者認為人們不經(jīng)常做飯的原因有三個方面：能力，錢和時間．作者著重介紹了時間方面的問題，他認為要提前做好計劃；要讓時間花的有價值而且要人們經(jīng)常去嘗試新的想法和新的菜譜．

解答 36：B考查上下文的語境理解．在上文中作者提出人們不做飯的原因有能力，金錢和時間等原因，然后再空后介紹了金錢和時間問題，由此判斷空格上內(nèi)容是作者對能力的介紹，縱觀選項B選項內(nèi)容（能力是很容易提高的）符合語境，故答案選B．
37：G考查上下文的語境理解．本段主題句是Think ahead，讓人們要提前有計劃，提前做好安排，這樣做飯就不是件痛苦的事情了，所以判斷G選項內(nèi)容（提前一點時間做計劃可以節(jié)省以后的很多時間）能夠承接上文，選G．
38：C考查上下文的語境理解．在前面作者提到要讓時間花的更值得，提出問題．Are you making one loaf of bread？而且下文提到在同樣多的時間內(nèi)要多做幾個面包，所以判斷C選項內(nèi)容（要做三、四個面包）能夠起到承上啟下的作用，答案選C．
39：A考查語境理解及主題句．在本段中作者提到要多去嘗試新的菜譜和新的想法，這樣能力就越來越高，所以A選項內(nèi)容（嘗試新事物）可以概括本段中心，選A．
40：F考查上下文的語境理解．在上文中作者給人們建議如何在繁忙的生活中尋找做飯的快樂，再根據(jù)空格后內(nèi)容：不要因為緊張的時間安排而不能去享受生活，可以判斷F選項內(nèi)容（要讓做飯和生活成為一種樂趣而不是負擔）符合語境，選F．

點評 七選五"的題型要求學生根據(jù)文章的結構、邏輯、上下文的內(nèi)容選出相應的五句話填入空白處將文章補充完整．主要目的在于考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結構以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握．做題時需要明白整篇文章的主旨，文章整體的思路和每一段的用意以及作者寫作的意圖．做這類題目最主要的兩個步驟就是1．理清文章的邏輯和結構，2．在所給的原文中找出關鍵詞或者說是線索詞．
