How a Poor, Abandoned Parisian Boy Became a Top Chef
A) The busy streets in Paris were uneven and caked in thick mud,
but there was always a breathtaking sight to see in the shop
windows of Patisserie de la Rue de la Paix. By 1814, people
crowded outside the bakery, straining for a glimpse of the
latest sweet food created by the young chef who worked inside.
B) His name was Marie-Antoine Carême, and he had appeared, one
day, almost out of nowhere. But in his short lifetime, which
ended exactly 184 years ago today, he would forever
revolutionize French gourmet food（美食）, write best-selling
cook books and think up magical dishes for royals and other
important people.
C) Carême's childhood was one part tragedy, equal part mystery.
Born the 16th child to poor parents in Paris in either 1783 or
1784, a young Carême was suddenly abandoned at the height of
the French Revolution. At 8 years old, he worked as a kitchen
boy for a restaurant in Paris in exchange for room and board.
第 2 页 共 7 页 By age 15, he had become an apprentice（学徒）to Sylvain Bailly,
a well-known dessert chef with a successful bakery in one of
Paris's most fashionable neighborhoods.
D) Carême was quick at learning in the kitchen. Bailly
encouraged his young apprentice to learn to read and write. Carême would often spend his free afternoons at the nearby
National Library reading books on art and architecture. In the
back room of the little bakery, his interest in design and his
baking talent combined to work wonders-he shaped delicious
masterpieces out of flour, butter and sugar.
E) In his teenage years, Carême fashioned eatable copies of
the late 18th century's most famous buildings-cookies in the
shape of ruins of ancient Athens and pies in the shape of ancient
Chinese palaces and temples. Sylvain Bailly, his master,
displayed these luxuriant creations-often as large as 4 feet
tall-in his bakery windows.
F) Carême's creations soon captured the discriminating eye of
a French diplomat, Charles Maurice de
Talleyrand-Perigord. Around 1804, Talleyrand challenged Carême to produce a full menu for his personal castle, instructing
the young baker to use local, seasonal fruits and vegetables
and to avoid repeating main dishes over the course of an entire
第 3 页 共 7 页 year. The experiment was a grand success and Talleyrand's
association with French nobility would prove a profitable
connection for Carême.
G) French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was known to be
unimpressed by the declining taste of early
18th century cooking, but under pressure to entertain Paris's
high society, he too called Carême to his kitchen at Tuileries
Palace. In 1810, Carême designed the extraordinary cake for
the wedding of Napoleon and his second bride, Marie-Louise of
Austria. He became one of the first modern chefs to focus on
the appearance of his table, not just the flavor of his dishes.
"I want order and taste. A well-displayed meal is enhanced one
hundred percent in my eyes," he later wrote in one of his cook
books.
H) In 1816, Carême began a culinary（烹饪的）journey which would
forever mark his place as history's first top chef. He voyaged
to England to cook in the modern Great Kitchen of the prince
regent（摄政王）, George IV, and crossed continents to prepare
grand banquets for the tables of Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
Never afraid to talk up his own accomplishments, a boastful Carême made a fortune as wealthy families with social ambitions
invited him to their kitchens. Later, in his cook books, he
第 4 页 共 7 页 would often include a sketch of himself, so that people on the
street would be able to recognize-and admire-him.
I) Carême's cooking displays became the symbol of fine French
dining; they were plentiful, beautiful and imposing. Guests
would fall silent in wonder as servants carried Carême's fancy
creations into the dining hall. For a banquet celebrating the
Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia's visit to George IV's Brighton
Pavillion on Jan. 18, 1817, the menu featured 120 different
dishes, highlighting eight different soups, 40 main courses,
and 32 desserts.
J) As he traveled through the homes of early 19th century
nobility, Carême forged the new art of French gourmet food.
Locked in hot kitchens, Carême created his four "mother
sauces." These sauces-béchamel, velouté, espagnole and
allemande-formed the central building blocks for many French
main courses. He also perfected the soufflé-a baked egg dish,
and introduced the standard chef's uniform-the same
double-breasted white coat and tall white hat still worn by many
chefs today. The white clothing conveyed an image of

Grow Plants Without Water
[A]Ever since humanity began to farm our own food, we've
faced the unpredictable rain that is both friend and enemy. It
comes and goes without much warning, and a field of lush （茂盛的） leafy greens one year can dry up and blow away the next.
Food security and fortunes depend on sufficient rain, and
nowhere more so than in Africa, where 96% of farmland depends
on rain instead of the irrigation common in more developed
places. It has consequences: South Africa's ongoing
drought-the worst in three decades-will cost at least a quarter
of its corn crop this year.
[B]Biologist Jill Farrant of the University of Cape Town
in South Africa says that nature has plenty of answers for
people who want to grow crops in places with unpredictable

许多刚毕业的大学生找不到工作，在校学生则担心他们的未来。 多个调查显示，三分之二的中国毕业生想在政府或者国有企业工作， 而不是为中国令人瞩目的经济增长提供动力的民营企业。政府和国 有企业被认为能免受经济萧条的影响。如今几乎没有大学生愿意放 弃政府的铁饭碗而下海、加入初创企业或自己创业。
参考译文
Many recent college graduates can’t find a job and students
are fearful about their future. Two-thirds of Chinese graduates say
they want to work either in the government or state-owned firms，which are seen as recession-proof, rather than at the private
companies that have powered China’s remarkable economic climb,
surveys indicate. Few college students today, according to the
surveys, are ready to leave the safe shores of government work and
jump into the sea to join startups or go into business.

The phrase "A law of Nature" is probably rarer in modern
scientific writing than was the case some generations ago. This
is partly due to a very natural objection to the use of the word
"law" in two different senses. Human societies have laws. In
primitive societies there is no distinction between law and
custom. Some things are done, others are not. This is regarded
as part of the nature of things, and generally as an unalterable
fact. If customs change, the change is too slow to be observed.
Later on kings and prophets could promulgate new laws, but there
was no way of revoking old ones. The Greek democracies made the
great and revolutionary discovery that a community could
consciously make new laws and repeal old ones. So for us a human
law is something which is valid only over a certain number of

2021年12月英语四级阅读细节题实例解析
备考英语四级的同学不难发现，阅读是英语四级考试中非常重要的一部分，阅读理解题想要拿到比较理想的成绩，就要加强练习，不断提高自身的阅读能力。
细节题：
题型科普：
细节题是阅读考试中所占比重最大的题型，接近总题量的90%。具体数字，09年两次考试，20道仔细阅读题中，19道细节题。10年20道题目中，14道细节题。11年20道题目中，19道细节题。预计本次四级考试中，两篇仔细阅读将有9道细节题。
题型形式：
细节题的提问方式比较多样，较难总结。但简单来说，只要不是前几篇博文讲的主旨题，推断题，语义题，那么剩下的题全都是细节题。
试举例让同学对细节题的常见提问方式有更直观的认识：
1.对事物进行提问。
What’s said about global warming in the first paragraph?
What’s does the author say about vacationing?
2.对作者或专家的观点提问。
What does Tony Little say about the British education
第 2 页 共 6 页 system?
What does the author intend to convey?
3.对题干信息进行补完。
The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto
Protocol,______
解题思路：
其实无论以怎么样的方式提问，同学记住考官出题的一个原则，四级阅读的正确答案不用读文章很多信息去归纳总结分析推理，正确答案就对应原文的一句信息。所以想做对一道题，就分两步。第一步，定位到考官出题的一句信息;第二步，将原文出题的一句信息和选项进行比较。
