四、阅读理解

Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them,and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms—maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”.But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the Daily Mail,just one in 50 British families has this weekly meal together.

There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular.In the busy modern world,where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen,people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.

And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook.Nowadays,people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.

However,a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules,“It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”

The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxing morning activities in the kitchen,and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.“For busy mums and dads,even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event,children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”

1.The best title for the passage is probably “　　　”. 

A.Sunday—Best Time for Family

B.Sunday Roast Dying Out

C.The Perfect Time for Us

D.Sit Down Together

2.Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?

A.They have a busy lifestyle.

B.They have no interest in cooking.

C.They don’t think it worthwhile.

D.They are living in the modern society.

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.A recent article.

B.A traditional kitchen.

C.The fine old tradition.

D.The good food.

4.How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out?

A.Doubtful.　　　　　　　B.Positive.

C.Sorry. D.Uncertain.

五、七选五阅读理解

1.Remind yourself that it’s new for everyone.
