是小炒。故選A。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"Britainhasaverymulticulturalhistory.Centuriesofhistorybroughtdishesfromacrossthe

world”以及“InternationalfoodhasbecomeBritishfood”可知英國有著多元文化的歷史，世界各地的食物都來到

英國，所以現(xiàn)在英國食物是國際化的。故選B。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“ManyBritishChinesedishesaren'texactlyChinese.”可知英國的中餐館與中國的中餐館

不同。故選C。

6.B7.D8.C9.D10.A

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了荷蘭風(fēng)車節(jié)的由來、日期、慶祝方式以及不同風(fēng)車在荷蘭文化

中的內(nèi)涵。

6.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“TheNetherlandsislow—lyingandinfluencedbythenorthseawind...thousandsof

windmills”可知，荷蘭地市低洼，過去容易發(fā)生洪澇災(zāi)害，為了解決這個問題，荷蘭人使用了成千上萬的風(fēng)

車，所以荷蘭人主要用風(fēng)車解決洪水問題。故選B。

7.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Onthisday,picturesshapedofwindmillsareeverywhere...windows.”可知，在這一

有①②④。故選D。

8.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Whentheflagishungonthewindmill,itmaymeanthatababyisbom”可知，當(dāng)旗

幟掛在風(fēng)車上時，可能意味著有一個嬰兒出生了。故選C。

9.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“whenthewindmillisatrestandbackward,itmainlytellsusthatsomethingbadhas

happened”可知，當(dāng)風(fēng)車處于靜止或倒退狀態(tài)時，它預(yù)示著發(fā)生了不好的事情，選項D表述與原文相符。故

選D。

10.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“WindmillDaybecomesatraditionalfolkfestivalintheNetherlands”可知，風(fēng)車

日漸漸成為一個傳統(tǒng)的民間節(jié)日，所以本文主要介紹的風(fēng)車之國——荷蘭，推測可以在雜志的文化專欄看到

這篇文章。故選A。
