问题     The most dramatic changes that took place during the seventeenth century in French culinary techniques concern seasoning. The strong flavors of the Middle Ages still had some adherents but were increasingly rejected in favor of sauces made with fat, which were thought to preserve more natural flavor. While spices still figured in about two-thirds of recipes, a proportion just as high as in the Middle Ages, they were used more sparingly. This statement is difficult to prove on the basis of cookbooks alone, because recipes were still imprecise. However, there are the reports of French travelers, who complained of foreign cooking too spicy to eat. Such complaints, which do not appear until the mid-seventeenth century, attest to a change of sensibilities.
According to the passage, during the seventeenth century the French increasingly developed a taste for

选项 A、foreign travel
B、milder sauces
C、sweet delicacies
D、spicy recipes
E、recipes from the Middle Ages

答案B

解析 根据第二句,人们越来越不喜欢中世纪的重口味,因此17世纪的口味更多地偏向温和的酱汁,选项B正确。A项并不是法国人17世纪突然之间喜欢去国外旅游了,而是17世纪之后法国人的口味开始变淡,再吃国外的菜会觉得口味重,不适应,所以法国的旅行者到17世纪才开始抱怨国外的菜口味太重了。
