二、阅读理解
(2019·预测)English teenagers will receive cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to solve the problem that many people are overweight. Also, it worries people that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost
7
because parents use too much preprepared fast food.
Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England—even if it was mainly for girls. In recent years cooking has become less important in schools. But the rising level of obesity(肥胖) has led to rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
“What we want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple meals, which they can use now at home and then in their life，” said Ed Balls, an education expert.
The new lessons will start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given a longer time to prepare. Also, there may be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since schools have been teaching food technology rather than practical cooking. Besides, the lessons for handon cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the wellknown cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.
“If we'd done this thirty years ago, we might not have to face the problem about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they'll be healthy, but because it's a life skill which is a real pleasure.”
The renewed interest in cooking is an effort to reduce the obesity rate, which is almost the highest in Europe, and according to the government, half of all British people will be obese in 25 years if present trends(趋势) are not halted．
1．The passage mainly talks about .
A．the reason for obesity B．the lost cooking skills
C．the healthy eating D．the cooking classes
2．Which of the following is NOT the aim of bringing back cooking lessons in Britain?

A．To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.
B．To reduce the country's increasing obesity rate.
C．To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.
D．To encourage parents to use more preprepared fast food.
3．How will cooking lessons do good to the students?
A．All of them will become good cooks in their later life.
B．Students will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.
C．Students will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.
D．Students will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.
4．The underlined word “halted” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”．
A．continued B．stopped C．discussed D．kept
5．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．cooking has always been an important part of school education in England
B．English teenagers will have their cooking lessons one hour a month for one year
C．the obesity rate in Britain has been growing rapidly in recent years
