Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food. But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign and exotic.
Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food—we eat to live, we do not live to eat. So we don’t generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating.
You can find the best English food in the country away from the large towns where life is slower and people are not in such a hurry. But, of course, most visitors come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come because of the food, so why should they complain about it?
选项
A、The criticism of English food by visitors is unfair.
B、It is impossible to find good English food in large towns.
C、As well as food people also travel to Britain for shopping and sightseeing.
D、If people complain about English food, they will get better food.
答案
A
解析
[听力原文]
What is the conclusion suggested by the speaker?
[听前预测] 根据选项中的English food,shopping,sightseeing等词可推断本题可能关于英国的饮食和观光。
[答案详解] 综合推断题[考频:3]。本题关键句为“Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good.”那些了解英国饮食的人知道好的英国饮食非常好吃。此外,“most visitors come because they are interested... they complain about it?”大多数游客只对购物和观光感兴趣,不是为了食品而来,由此可知作者认为游客对英国饮食的批评是不公正的。故正确答案为A)。
