Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

1. B. Its bad taste
解析：題干中g(shù)enerally known for 對應(yīng)原文a reputation for，根據(jù)原文第一句Why does British food have a reputation for being so bad? Because it is bad! 可知關(guān)鍵詞為bad，故選B。

2. A. an inadequate supply of production
解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞the Second World War可以定位到原文第四段，二戰(zhàn)之前，英國的食品都是進口的，二戰(zhàn)之后，食品供應(yīng)船只遭到攻擊，只能依靠配給。故選A，食品供給不足。

3. B. Its people cared more for quantity
解析：由compete with some of its neighbouring countries可以定位到原文第6段，they weren’t looking for…, they were looking for…, this prioritization of quantity over quality prevailed for decades. 可見他們對數(shù)量的追求高于質(zhì)量，因此選B。

4. C. all kinds of overseas visitors
解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞culinary定位到原文第7段，根據(jù)最后一句…its ability to please the tastes of any international visitor. 而any international visitor就等同于答案all kinds of overseas visitors。故選C.
5. C. New ideas and presentations
解析：問題是按照David Tamlyn的觀點，香港的飲食者喜歡什么。先根據(jù)David Tamlyn這個人名定位到原文第八段，再根據(jù)最后一句話Hong Kong diners are extremely responsive to new ideas or presentations,…這里的are extremely responsive to在意思上等于題干中的welcome。

6. D. maintain British traditional tastes
解析：一些飯店修改菜譜，采用新樣式，而另外一些則保留英式口味，再根據(jù)Tamlyn is in the second camp，可知Tamlyn屬于后者，即保留原汁原味。故答案選D。

7. B. They are produced on excellent organic farms
解析：由Neil Tomes定位到原文第12段，根據(jù)最后兩句話…It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-quality meats可選出答案B，Neil Tomes喜歡英國原料的原因就在于原料產(chǎn)于優(yōu)秀的有機農(nóng)場。
