答案 Food Preparation and Our Lives Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes, from a period when he hunted for food to the present time, when he buys preprocessed food in the shop centers. Nowadays, thanks to modern methods of food preparation, we can not only prepare meals much faster than we could in the past but also enjoy a greater variety of food and eat more healthfully. It goes without saying that modem methods for food preparation have definitely improved the way we live. To begin with, with the development of technology, there are more and more equipments which help people to cook a meal easily, such as stoves, microwaves cooking, refrigerators. This change, in fact, makes the life of busy people more convenient. Instead of spending hours for preparation in the past, now, people can have a meal by themselves just in a short time with some special equipment and precooked food. Take my country as an example: rice is a staple food which cannot be absent in our daily meals, and with electronic cookers, it is so easy to prepare that a little child can do it. All that he needs to do is to put rice and water into the cooker and press a button. The whole process takes only about fifteen minutes. Furthermore, modern methods of preserving food have made it possible to enjoy a wide variety of food. Because of refrigerators, freezers, canning and freeze-drving. we can eat fruits and vegetables that come from faraway places. We can prepare a meal one day and save the leftovers in the refrigerator or the freezer to eat at another time. We can keep different kinds of food in the refrigerator or on the shelf. It’s easy to always have food available and to be able to eat completely different meals every day. Healthful eating is easier now than it ever was. Because of modern transportation methods, fresh fruits and vegetables are available all year round. Modern kitchen appliances make it easy to prepare fruits and vegetables for cooking. Bread machines make it possible to enjoy healthful, home-baked bread whenever we like. We can eat fresh and healthful food every day because modern methods have made preparation easy. Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. New food preparation methods have given us more choices. Today we can prepare food that is more convenient, healthier, and of greater variety than ever before in history.
解析     本题需要分析的是这样一个因果关系：食物越来越容易准备了，那么这样的一种情况导致了什么结果呢?到底我们的生活有没有因此而得到改善呢?本题的关键词为improve，因此只能分析我们的生活是否有所“改善”，而不能单纯地谈论“改变”，我们要在文中点明为什么说烧制食物的简单便捷“改善”了我们的生活，比如，忙碌的人可以节省时间干其他重要的事，我们也可以因为储存方式的改进而吃到更多种类的食物，现代化的烹饪工具也可以使我们的饮食更有营养，等等。
