Question

    Almost everybody loves snakes (零食). When I first came to Beijing, I was surprised to see that some of my favorite snack brands (品牌) from back home were also in China. Many of them also have new flavors (口味) for Chinese.

For example, the Dove brand of chocolate has a green tea-flavored chocolate bar (巧克力棒). The Lay’s brand of potato chips has a cucumber (黄瓜) flavor. I find shrimp-flavored (虾味的) snacks, too. And of course, fast food restaurants like KFC also have their own Chinese food such as youtiao and porridge.

Some of these “Chinese” flavors are quite good. The green tea-flavored snacks tasted a bit odd (奇怪的) to me at first, but I like the taste now. As for the shrimp-flavored snacks. Well, I think I’ll leave those ones alone for now.

【解析】

越来越多的外国零食进入中国后，添加了一些其他的口味，可谓是“入乡随俗”了。

1.词句猜测题。根据原句“When I first came to Beijing, I was surprised to see that some of my favorite snack brands from back home were also in China.”可知，作者刚来北京时，发现自己在家里喜欢的零食品牌在中国也有。所以指的是作者自己国家的。故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, the Dove brand of chocolate has a green tea-flavored chocolate bar”可知，德芙巧克力是中国和作者家那边都有的。故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“but I like the taste now. As for the shrimp-flavored snacks. Well, I think I’ll leave those ones alone for now.”可知作者提到了自己的喜好，谈到虾味零食，作者说：我要把这些留下，也就是作者不喜欢这个口味。故选B。

4.主旨大意题。分析全文可知，文章在说同一零食品牌在中国会有适应国情的新口味。故选B。
