答案

到我們揭曉答案的時刻了！

選擇：

1) B:today i am going to explore why it is so popular in these cuisines and,more importantly,how does it enhance the flavour of food.

2) C:but it wasn't until 1908 that the ingredient in kombu which was responsible for the improvement in flavour was actually discovered to glutamate by scientists working there.

3) A:it was in 1956 that the speed of the process was improved,and industrial production increased dramatically.

填空：

4) 5th taste:well,in 1908,Kikunae Ikeda identified a fifth taste.

5) it does make perfect evolutionary sense that we should have the ability to detect or taste glutamate because it is the amino acid which is most common in natural foods.

6) bitterness:bitterness,he says,alerts us of toxins in the food.

7) minerals:saltiness signals the presence of minerals.

積累

做飯經常用到的一個調料是味精：monosodium glutamate(味精);

味精是一種風味增強劑：flavour enhancer(風味增強劑)=flavour:風味+enhancer:增強劑；

酸甜苦辣的表達方式分別為：sour,sweet,bitter and salt.

胺基酸：amino acid=amino:氨基的+acid:酸；

炸薯條實際上就是把土豆片炸的脆脆的，這樣才好吃，所以炸薯條的表達應該是：potato crisp=potato:土豆+crisp:脆；

以上，就是今天的聽力內容，英語聽力不僅局限在自己的試卷當中，各種聽力材料都應該去接觸一下。
