The idea is to encourage healthy eating to solve the problem that many people are overweight. Also, it worries people that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost because parents use too much pre-prepared fast food.Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England-even if it was mainly for girls. In recent years cooking has bee less important in schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.“What we want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple meals, which they can use now at home and then in their life,” said Ed Balls, an education expert.The new lessons will start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given a longer time to prepare. Also, there may be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since schools have been teaching food technology rather than practical cooking. Besides, the lessons for hand-on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believe it will be worth it.“If wed done this thirty years ago we might not have to face the problem about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that theyll be healthy, but because its a life skill which is a real pleasure.”The renewed interest in cooking is an effort to reduce the obesity rate, which is almost the highest in Europe, and according to the government, half of all British people will be obese in 25 years if present trends are not halted.28. The passage mainly talks about .A. the reason for obesity B. the lost cooking skillsC. the healthy eating D. the cooking classes29. Which of the following is NOT the aim of bringing back cooking lessons in Britain?A. To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.B. To reduce the countrys increasing obesity rate.C. To stop parents from turning to pre-prepared fast food.D. To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.30. How will cooking lessons do good to the students?A. All of them will bee good cooks in their later life.B. Students will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.C. Students will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.D. Students will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.31. The underlined word “halted” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.A. continued B. stopped C. discussed D. kept【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B【解析】【28题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段第一句是本文的主旨English teenagers are to receive pulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools.可知，这篇文章主要讲的是烹饪课。故选D。【29题详解】细节题。由第一段最后一句Its feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods可知“阻止父母们去吃预先准备好的快餐”不是在英国带回烹饪课程的目标。故选C。【30题详解】细节题。由倒数第二段最后一句so that theyll be healthy, but because its a life skill which is a real pleasure可知，学生们将会很健康，并享受这种生活技能的乐趣。故选B。【31题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段The renewed interest in cooking is an effort to reduce the obesity rate, which is almost the highest in Europe, and according to the government, half of all British people will be obese in 25 years if present trends are not halted. 人们重新燃起对烹饪的兴趣，是为了降低肥胖率，这在欧洲几乎是最高的。根据政府的说法，如果目前的趋势没有停止，英国一半的人口将在25年内肥胖。由此推知，划线词的意思是“停止”，故选B。DRobot are about to enter our lives.
