Puerto Rican Cuisine(菜肴)

Puerto Rico, a Caribbean(加勒比海区)island rich in history and remarkable for natural beauty, has
a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民)to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all
over the world making various contributions to it.However,before the arrival of these immigrants,the Taino
people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents(啮齿动物),fresh
shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.
Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking,but it has been heavily influ-
enced by the Spanish,who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508,and Africans,who were initially brought to Puerto
Rico to work as slaves.Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to
create new dishes.The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle,pigs,goats,and sheep to the
island.Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful,contrasting tastes in dishes.

In fact,much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for coffee,coconuts,and oranges一was actually im--
ported by foreigners to the island.
A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy(辛辣的).it' s
true that chili peppers are popular;aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans
enjoy. However, milder(微辣的)tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. As the base of many Puerto Rican
dishes,sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions,green bell peppers,sweet chili peppers,and a handful
of other spices.It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.
选项 Which of the following is NOT true? A:Sofrito is a type of extremely spicy food. B:Many people think Puerto Rican food is spicy. C:Puerto Rican cuisine uses a lot of chili peppers. D:Aij caballero is a type of chile pepper.
答案 A
解析 从文章第一段第三句话“before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico”可知答案为D。
文章第一段第二句话的大意是:这个岛的移民帮助它形成了它自己的菜肴,来自世界 各地的人为这些菜肴做出了各种各样的贡献。由此可知,it用来指代cuisine。
第二段主要讲的是西班牙人和非洲人对波多黎各菜肴产生的影响,由此可知,波多黎 各的菜肴受到许多外来的影响,即Puerto Rican cooking has many outside influences。
由文章最后一段最后一句话“It( sofrito) is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.”可 知答案为B。
由文章最后一段第三句话“However, milder tastes are popular too, such as sofrito.”可知 选项A错误。
