Slowly but surely tofu is becoming accepted into mainstream Western cooking circles. In March, the singer Justin Timberlake dressed up in a tofu suit for a sketch(短剧)on NBC’s show Saturday Night Live to promote the silky food. And notable UK food experts such as Nigel Slater and Fuchsia Dunlop are singing tofu’s praises as well. As Slater writes in an article published in The Guardian, “I think the Chinese know what they are talking about and I must give their beloved dou-fu(yet)another chance”. He found that when cooked with chilli, garlic and ginger, tofu was a very welcome guest at his dinner party!

　　【文章大意】豆腐越来越受西方人的青睐, 它是怎样做到如此受欢迎的呢?

　　1. When tofu was introduced to the West, it　.

　　A. was not accepted, just like rice

　　B. was well-received mostly by hippies

　　C. was difficult to find things to cook with it

　　D. was viewed as a toy instead of food

　　【解析】选B。细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话可知B为正确答案。

　　2. The phrase“missed the boat”in the second paragraph probably means“　”.

　　A. failed to take advantage of an opportunity

　　B. was in the same situation

　　C. experienced a big change

　　D. drew much attention

　　【解析】选A。词义猜测题。上文提到了豆腐在西方遭遇歧视, 而下文又进一步提到了当欧洲人把大米和豆腐先后带到西方时, 大米遇到了优待, 而豆腐则错失良机, 没有那么成功, 所以missed the boat表示“没有利用好机会, 错失良机”, 故选A。
