看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段的"Whatcomesintoyourmindwhenyou（hinkofBritish

food?Probablyfishandchips,oraSundaydinnerofmeatandtwovegetables.Butis

Britishfoodreallysouninteresting?v（当你想到英国食物时,你会想到什么?你可能

想到的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？）

可知，提及英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸自薯条和周日烤肉，所以人们通常会觉得

英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据笫二段的“It'sthankstotheseTVchefsratherthananyadvertising

campaignthatBritonsareturningawayfrommeat-and-two-vegandready-mademealsand

becomingmoreadventurousintheircookinghabits.w（正是由于电视上的这些大厨,而

索新的烹饪习惯。）和“ItseemsthatTVprogrammeshavehelpedchangewhatpeople

thinkaboutcooking/*[似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。）可知，英国

的烹饪节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法，尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的

烹饪习惯，由此推知英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。

将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。）可知，三分之一左右

的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。

TV,it'snolonger“uncool”forboystolikecooking.M（随着电视上出现越来越多男性

厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。）可知，接下来，文章应该具体

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本*讨论了仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史的局

限性，并强调了将物品纳入历史叙事以更好地理解无文字社会的重要性。

【32题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段"Ifyouwanttotellthehistoryofthewholeworld,a

historythatdoesnotprivilegeonepartofhumanity,youcannotdoitthroughtextsa.one,

becauseonlysomeoftheworldhaseverhadtexts,whilemostoftheworld,formostofthe

time,hasnot.Writingisoneofhumanity'slaterachievements,anduntilfairlyrecently

能仅仅通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一部分人曾经有过文本，而世界上大多数人，

在大多数时间里，都没有。写作是人类较晚的成就之一，直到最近，甚至许多有文字

的社会也不仅用文字，而且用物件来记录他们所关心的事情。）”可推知，第一段主

要讲述的是历史应该如何呈现给我们。故选A。

推理判断题o根据文章第二段首句“Ideallyahistorywouldbringtogethertextsand

objects,andsomechaptersofthisbookareabletodojustthat,butinmanycaseswesimply

cant（理想情况下，历史应该将文本和物品结合在一起，本书的某些章节能够做到这

一点，但在许多情况下，我们根本做不到。）”可推断，作者认为历史应该是文本和

录。从澳大利亚方面来看，我们只有一个木制盾牌，这是一名男子在第一次经历枪击
