A
Orange chicken,sweet and sour pork,fried
rice...Max Burns lists several typical Western-
style of Chinese dishes that disappoint him.For a
21-year-old native British young man who spent
his first thirteen years in China,those cuisines
are far from authentic,but rather a category
which is invented to cater to Western prefer-
ences.
What also upsets Burns is that the view of
Chinese food has been subsequently skewed
)Quite a few Westerners recognize that particular
type of fare as the whole of Chinese cuisine.
"They almost have no clue about the extent
of Chinese cuisine,about how it varies because
people forget how big China is.It is a country
that has deserts from one side,jungles and sea
from the other side.Each area has its unique
style of cooking,he says.
Burns tries to showcase the richness of deli-
cious Chinese dishes by vlogging(拍摄并上传)
about making Chinese dishes at home."Food is
probably the most accessible way for everyone to
learn an alien culture,he says.
Sometimes,his British friends would join to
help."And quite often,they were shocked by the
diversity of Chinese cuisine.They've had a long
time to figure out that Chinese food is just a lot
more complex."The food adventure has helped
Burns grow into an influencer with more than
three million of subscribers worldwide today.
"So,I can definitely say that I've changed some
people's ideas about Chinese food.
Interestingly,when Burns first started vlog-
ging in 2016 directly after moving back to Brigh-
ton,England from Beijing,copying Chinese food
at home was a then“stupid idea”,as he puts it,
because he was never super into cooking.At the
time,the videos centered more on explaining as-
pects of Chinese culture,including movies,snacks,
restaurants and more.
Looking ahead,Burns has some plans in mind."I
would love to do a travel food show throughout
China on TV.Also,I would love to have my own res-
taurant in the future.That's definitely going to hap-
pen.”

[语篇解读]本文讲述一些中国莱肴为了迎合西
方人的喜好变得远非正宗,一个在中国生活了13
年的21岁英国年轻人伯恩斯对此颇感沮丧,于是
他通过视频(拍摄并上传)展示在家里做的中国菜
的丰富美味,迅速改变了一些人对中国菜肴的
误解。
1.B[细节理解题。由第一段第二句“Fora21
year-old native British young man who spent
his first thirteen years in China(对于一个在中
国度过了头13年人生的21岁的英国年轻人来
说)”和第六段第一句“Interestingly,when
Burns first started vlogging in 2016 directly af-
ter moving back to Brighton,England from
Beijing”(有趣的是,20l6年从北京搬回英国布
菜顿后,伯恩斯第一次开始发视频)可知,伯恩
斯头13年的人生是在中国度过的,说明他14岁
回到了英国的布莱顿。]
2.D[细节理解题。根据第四段“Burns tries to
showcase the richness of delicious Chinese di-
shes by vlogging(拍摄并上传)about making
Chinese dishes at home..(Burns试图通过在家
制作中国菜的视频博客来展示中国菜的丰富多
样。)”可知Max Burns是通过在视频博客上展
示真正的中国菜来改变人们对中国菜的错误认
知的。]
3.B[主旨大意题。根据第五段“So,I can defi-
nitely say that I've changed some people's ideas
about Chinese food.(所以,我可以肯定地说,我
改变了一些人对中餐的看法。)”可知,第五段主
要讲了伯恩斯的成就。门

In some parts of the world people are likely
to plan for the future,while in others people are
more likely to live in the moment.In some socie-
ties people prefer more personal space;in others
they are comfortable being in close quarters in
public.
There are a number of theories about where
cultural differences between societies come from.
In a growing number of cases,researchers have
found that human culture can be shaped by key
features of the environments in which people live.
Ecology includes basic physical and social
characteristics of the environment-such factors
as how rich a place is in resources,how common
infectious(传染性的)diseases are,how heavily
populated a place is,and how much threat there
is to human safety.Variables(可变因素)like
temperature and the availability of water can be
key ecological features.
For over 200 societies,our lab at Arizona
State University gathered comprehensive data on
nine key features of ecology-such as rainfall,
temperature,infectious disease and natural re-
sources-and dozens of aspects of human cultural
variation -including values,strength of social
norms(规范),personality,motivation and insti-
tutional characteristics.With this information
we created the Eco Cultural Dataset.Using this
dataset,we were able to generate a range of esti-
mates for just how much of human cultural varia-
tion can be explained by ecology.
We ran a series of statistical models looking
at the relationship between our ecological varia-
bles and each of the 66 cultural outcomes we
tracked.For each of the cultural outcomes,we
calculated the average amount of the cultural di-
versity across societies that was explained by this
combination of nine different ecological factors.
We found that nearly 20%of cultural variation
was explained by the combination of these ecolog-
ical features.
Importantly,our statistical estimates take
into account common issues in cross-cultural re-
search.There will likely be unmeasured similari-
ties between societies with shared historical roots
and traditions.
Ecology isn't the only reason people around
the world think and behave differently.But our
work suggests that,at least in part,our environ-
ments shape our cultures.

差异部分来自生态因素。故选D项。]
