问题     My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants.
    The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, 1 began to understand why it has this special feature.
    Many years ago, China had an energy crisis (危机) because it lost much of its wood due to overpopulation and poor management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute (替代物) for their valuable wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
    In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor(味道)—and it’s this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.
The author mentioned the energy crisis to show______.
选项 A、it is important to protect the forests
B、it is necessary to find substitutes for wood
C、why the Chinese changed their way of cooking
D、what problems a big population is causing China today
答案C
解析 推理题。题干意为“作者提到能源危机来说明——。”第二段提到当作者对中餐更加了解以后，他开始明白为什么它有这种特色。第三、四段讲述了中餐有这种特色的原因。第三段先讲了背景，第四段讲述结果。第三段提到的能源危机只是个背景，由于能源危机的发生，使得木材变得很昂贵，也很难得到，所以人们得想办法节省木材。为此他们不得不改变做饭的方法.故C为正确答案。
