Part Ⅱ
Reading Comperhension
Indian food is well-known for being spicy. It always uses spices, sometimes just one
spice to cook a potato dish and sometimes up to fifteen spices to compose an
elaborate dish. But it is not always hot. Chili peppers were introduced into Asia by
the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. Until that time the typical pungent Indian

spices were mustard seeds and black peppercorns. Sometimes the spices are used
whole, at other times they are ground and mixed with water or vinegar to make a
paste. Each of these techniques draws out a completely different flavour from the
spice. But India also gains variety from the huge number of regional cuisines which
have been adapted to local culinary traditions. Religious groups within each region of
India have modified these regional cuisines to suit their own restrictions. There was
also the influence of the Moghuls who came to India by way of Persia and introduced
the delicate pilau and meats cooked with yoghurt and fried onions. When Vienna
became a great capital city in the seventeenth century, Austrian cooking developed
into an art. This was when the famous Viennese pastry began to be made. Food and
ideas for cooking were imported from all over the continent: sour cream from the
Slavs, paprika from Hungary, noodle dishes from Italy. Although some of the famous
cakes and pastries are so extravagant they can only be used for special occasions,
other dishes are highly economical. The meat dishes, for example, evolved because
the Austrians were loath to kill bulls. They felt it wasteful to keep them and feed
them while they grew up but did no useful work. Therefore, they kept only the cows
which were killed when they were old and tough, and so the Austrians have a number
of dishes which make use of scraggy meat. The many veal dishes, at which the
Viennese are good, grew from the fact that so many baby bulls were killed.
Swedish cooking was in the past restricted by its climate which limited the supply of
fresh food to a few months of the year. Meals tended to be monotonous and salted
fish or meat and potatoes were served most of the time. But things are very different
today with Swedish smorgasbord popular all over the world. The word actually
2018 年大学生英语竞赛(NECCS)A 类(研究生)初赛真题试卷(精品)

means sandwich table, but in reality, there is a great variety of cold dishes to choose
from. Swedish cooking developed in the eighteenth century under French influence.
However, old traditions persist. On Christmas Day, ham is always served. At that
time, on Christmas Eve a plate of porridge may be put in the attic or cellar for the
little gnomes who are believed to live in the house. The porridge is to thank the
gnomes for their help during the past year and ensure their help in the next. Poles
have always taken an intelligent and lively interest in good food and the large
farming population has had a Slavonic gusto in producing original and tasty dishes
from the simplest and cheapest ingredients. Soups play an important part in the diet
of a Polish family. They have adopted the Russian borscht and transformed it into
their own national soup. The basis of borscht is beetroot but no one should be
misguided enough to think that it is a weak concoction. It is not only wholesome and
nourishing, but has fragrance and colour to make it attractive. All Polish cakes and
pastries are delightful but among the best are the cheese pastries. For a summer dish
of salad, or for picnics, the Polish way of making a cream cheese spread—mixing
cream with cottage cheese together with chopped radishes and cucumber and chives
—is slightly unusual, and very pleasant. ' Questions 56 to 60Fill in the blanks below

Earlier this year Bavarian Motor Works(BMW)advertised on WeChat, a popular
messaging app in China with around 550 million monthly users. But its ads were
shown only to those whose profiles suggested they were potential buyers of
expensive cars. Others were shown ads for more affordable stuff, such as
smartphones. The campaign bruised a few egos. Some of those not shown the BMW
ad complained, referring to themselves as losers. 【R1】______But it was also an
