(B)
Western people often greet others by saying “How are you?” while Chinese people might ask “Did you eat?” instead. Eating has long been a big part of China and its food culture has connected many people from other countries, including Sarah from Madagascar.
When Sarah was little, her family often went to Chinese restaurants on weekends, which sparked her love for Chinese food. In 2010, the then 20-year-old studied in China. Since then, she has tasted many more different foods and drinks from different places in the country like hot dry noodles in Hubei and morning tea in Guangdong.
Besides these delicious foods, what impressed Sarah most was the culture behind them.
Take Sichuan food as an example. Since the province sits in a basin（盆地）, Sichuan is quite wet. To get the dampness（湿气）out of the body, the people there prefer spicy（辣的）food. Similarly, Yangzhou which sits on the north bank of the Yangtze River, is “a land of fish and rice”. Huaiyang food, typical of Yangzhou, matches the personality of the land—fresh, balanced and tolerant（宽容的）. While in Guangdong, morning tea is not only about snacks, but also about the pleasant time that we share with our friends and family.
“Traditional Chinese philosophy（哲学）has gone into every side of Chinese food culture,” said Sarah. “And this philosophical thinking also shows that people’s diet should fit in with the natural environment in which they live.”
（ ）4. Chinese people saying “Did you eat?” might be ______.
A. inviting people to have a meal B. finding out if they’ve had a meal
C. greeting each other in a special way D. checking if they were still hungry
（ ）5. The underlined word “sparked” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. ran out of B. led to C. picked up D. took in
（ ）6. What interested Sarah most about China according to the passage?
A. Delicious foods. B. Different environment.
C. Culture behind different foods. D. Different drinks from different places.
（ ）7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

B. People’s diet changes with their different living environments.
C. People from other countries are all interested in Chinese food.
D. People who eat Huaiyang food will be fresh, balanced and tolerant.

【分析】
1. 第4题：先定位文章首段，文中对比中西方问候语，中国人说“Did you eat?”是一种问候方式，并非字面意义上的询问是否吃过饭或邀请吃饭，据此判断正确选项。
2. 第5题：找到划线词所在句子，结合语境“家人常去中餐馆的行为引发了她对中餐的喜爱”，分析各选项含义，匹配与“引发、导致”意思相符的选项。
3. 第6题：直接定位第三段首句“Besides these delicious food, what impressed Sarah most was the culture behind them”，提取关键信息即可得出答案。
4. 第7题：逐一分析选项，A选项文中未提及Sarah被中国传统哲学感动；B选项根据不同地区因环境不同饮食不同，以及Sarah的观点“people's diet should fit in with the natural environment”，可判断该选项正确；C选项“all”表述过于绝对，不符合文意；D选项文中是淮扬菜契合当地特质，而非吃了之后人会变得那样，表述错误。

6. 由第三段“Besides these delicious food, what impressed Sarah most was the culture behind them.”可知，Sarah最感兴趣的是不同食物背后的文化，故选C。
7. A选项：文中仅提到Sarah认为中国传统哲学融入饮食文化，未提及她被感动，错误；B选项：根据文中四川因潮湿喜辣、扬州鱼米之乡对应淮扬菜的特质，以及Sarah所说“people's diet should fit in with the natural environment”，可知饮食随居住环境变化，正确；C选项：“all interested”表述绝对，文中仅提到Sarah等部分外国人，错误；D选项：文中是淮扬菜契合扬州“fresh, balanced and tolerant”的特质，而非吃了该菜的人会变得如此，错误。故选B。

解析：
【分析】
这是一道英语信息还原题，解题核心是通过分析上下文的逻辑关系（如转折、递进、解释说明等）和语境线索，匹配最合适的选项。解题步骤如下：
1. 先通读全文，明确文章主旨：给英语学习者推荐选择合适英文小说的方法。
2. 逐个分析每个空格前后的内容，寻找关键词和逻辑关联：
第1空：后句用“But”转折，讲“故事太难会放弃”，前句应对应“故事太简单/幼稚的情况”，需找描述简单读物弊端的选项。
第2空：后句提到“更可能喜欢它，还能帮你克服词汇困难”，且举例“体育迷选体育相关书籍”，说明此处应是建议选择感兴趣的内容。
第3空：前句提问“不确定书籍难度是否合适怎么办”，后句详细介绍“五指测试”的方法，此处需引出该测试的建议。
第4空：前句说“这个测试通常帮家长给孩子选书”，需找承接句说明该测试对语言学习者的作用，注意“also”这类递进关键词。
第5空：前句建议“选已经读过母语版的小说”，此处需解释这样做的好处，即熟悉故事内容后读英文更容易理解。
【解析】
1. 第1空：后句“But if a story is too difficult,you may give up before you finish.”表转折，说明前文应讲述书籍难度过低的问题。选项E“You may get bored easily if the book is too childish.”（如果书太幼稚，你可能很容易无聊）与后句形成“太简单无聊/太难放弃”的对比逻辑，故选E。
2. 第2空：后句“You'll be more likely to enjoy it...”及体育迷的例子，都围绕“感兴趣的内容”展开。选项C“The first thing is to find something you're interested in.”（首先要找你感兴趣的东西）是对后文内容的总起，符合语境，故选C。
3. 第3空：前句提问不确定书籍难度的解决办法，后句详细介绍“五指测试”的操作。选项A“I suggest you use the “five−finger test "."（我建议你用“五指测试”）直接引出测试方法，衔接自然，故选A。
4. 第4空：前句说明测试用于家长给孩子选书，选项G“It's also helpful for language learners to choose suitable books.”（它对语言学习者选合适的书也有帮助）中的“also”体现递进关系，拓展了测试的适用人群，故选G。
5. 第5空：前句建议选读过母语版的小说，选项D“Read it again in English,and the story will be easy to follow.”（再用英语读，故事就容易理解了）解释了该建议的好处，符合逻辑，故选D。
