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.
It can be inferred from the text that before the energy crisis Chinese food______.
选项 A、was cooked in rather large pieces
B、was cooked in water but not oil
C、didn’t taste good
D、didn’t look fresh
答案A
解析 推理题。题干意为“通过文章，我们可以推断出在能源危机出现之前，中餐——。”第三段提到由于能源危机，木材短缺，人们开始想办法节省木材。根据最后一段第二句“So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．”可知，他们开始把肉和蔬菜切成小块，然后再放到热油里。由此可以推测，在能源危机出现之前，由于木材充足，人们不用节省，所以会将食材切成大块来烹饪。故A为正确答案。
