宝安中学2016－2017学年第二学期期中考试 高一英语 命题人： 高菁 审题人：徐娅晖 I. 阅读（共40分） 第一节 阅读理解（每题2分，共30分） A The latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer. All the stores are selling them; everyone wants one. Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food. However, that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods. In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer, Ive done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best． ● Folding Steamer The simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel不锈钢version. Advantages: This is a good, basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it; a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and its easy to clean． Disadvantages: It only holds small dishesAlso, if you put too much water in the pan, it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery. If you put too little water in and let it get dry, you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables． ●Steaming Pan This is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers, which sits on the oven ring. The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living． Advantages: This is an excellent steamer, lightweight, easy to clean, and of all the steamers Ive tried, this cooks the fastestFish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top. Its easier to store． Disadvantages: Water can boil away until the pan is dry, but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food, this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the topIt doesnt supply a dish for cooking rice． For serious users of steamers, I recommend having one of each versionIf you just want to try it, get the folding stainless-steel type. 1．Why did the author carry out the surveyA．To inform people of different steamers B．To run an advertisement for steamers C．To find out a suitable steamer to buy D．To learn
