一、阅读理解(共20小题,每题1分,满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The history of foods is never simple. Think of ice cream. Many people see it as a Western dessert. However, this sweet treat actually came from China! In the Zhou Dynasty, Chinese people began to store winter ice to enjoy in summer. In the Song Dynasty, people started to make binglao - it just means "ice cream" in English. It was a lot like modern ice cream. Folk tales have it that Emperor Huizong suffered from stomach pains after eating too much ice. In the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo tasted binglao and carried the idea all the way back to Europe. People there added heavy cream and new tastes. The rest is history!
Sometimes, totally different cultures have similar dishes. Iranians love a kind of flat bread, sangak. People in Shaanxi, China, love stone pancakes. These two look almost the same! People often compare roujiamo to hamburgers, a symbol of American food. Many people call it the "Chinese hamburger". But in fact, the arepas of Venezuela look more like the twin brother of roujiamo!
Food is a bridge between cultures. When foods cross borders, sweet things can happen. They mix with local tastes and create new flavors, connecting people from different places without any words.

The taste and smell of a certain food can often bring back memories. Do you have any favourite food memories?
Mine start with my mother. She can do magic in the kitchen: Tofu and beef become red, hot mapo tofu; carrots and mutton become lovely dumplings; a big fat hen becomes a pot of warm chicken soup; even eggs and green onions become wonderful pancakes. I always grow hungry thinking of them!
But my favourite food is porridge. I often wake up to the smell of porridge. Sometimes, it's sweet eight-treasure porridge. Other times, it's porridge with pork and thousand-year-old eggs. Each kind of porridge tastes great in its own way. When I fall ill, my mother always makes plain rice porridge for me. That's the simplest food on any Chinese menu. For me, however, it's the best food in the world. And it's better medicine than a pill!

Food has become a global product, bringing people from different countries together.

For example, Japanese sushi can be made with Mexican avocados, and Italian pizza can be topped with Chinese-style roast duck. These new foods are popular because they combine the best of different tastes.
But food is not just about taste. It also carries the history and culture of a place. When you eat a plate of Italian pasta, you can taste the history of the Mediterranean area.

My Favourite Food
My favourite food is my grandma's zongzi. It has a soft and sticky taste with sweet red beans inside. Every Dragon Boat Festival, grandma makes zongzi with bamboo leaves picked from the garden. I always help her wash the leaves, and we chat while wrapping them. Now I live in the city, but whenever I eat zongzi, I think of those warm days with grandma. It's not just food; it's my sweet memory.
