一、题文

【题文】What are the foods that you can only taste in memories? Your mother’s biscuits? The mud pies you made as a child? What are the recipes that bring those memories to mind?This morning, for the first time in more than a year, I made Dutch Babies and I didn’t burn them. Yes, I was always amazed to pull anything out of the oven that isn’t burnt. But sometimes, I get lucky.What are Dutch Babies? Picture a cross between a pancake and an omelet that tastes better than both. They’re easy to make, and you can make a lot of servings in one pan at the same time. Making Dutch Babies brings to my mind some of the happiest memories of my life. I was given the recipe by a dear friend Sally, a cook who knew a great dish when she tasted it. I’ve made Dutch Babies a few thousand times for house guests and Sunday suppers. They were always a hit, even if I burned them.After my kids grew up, I didn’t cook much for years, except for holidays or other big occasions. But if I had a full house, I’d make Dutch Babies for breakfast. I can’t recall the last time I made Dutch Babies, before today. I know it was more than a year ago, before life as we knew it was shut down for COVID-19, and we stopped having guests.So why did I make them this morning for only my husband and me? It’s been a difficult year for all of us, filled with things we couldn’t do. I was hungry to celebrate being alive. I mixed up the ingredients and put it in the oven. While it baked, I thought of all the family and friends I’ve baked it for over the years.Good food can feed a hungry crowd. However, if it’s made with love and seasoned with memories, it can fill a soul with hope of better days to come.【小题1】When would the writer make Dutch babies?A．When she prepared for Saturday suppers.B．When she thought of her best friend Sally.C．The day all the family members got together.D．Every day except big occasions and holidays.【小题2】The underlined word “seasoned” probably means “_________”A．fixedB．addedC．changedD．tasted【小题3】What’s the best title for the passage?A．Baking with LoveB．The Taste of Good FoodC．Dutch Babies in MemoriesD．A Hard Year Without Sharing【小题4】Does the writer think Dutch Babies are good food?
