2023名校版高考英语阅读理解精读附答案

The way I treat a clove(瓣)of garlic does not just change its

size but its chemistry; the decision to slice or crush it will shape

the flavour of the meal. Cooking can show us this: our actions

matter. Through my work in the kitchen, I thought about what I

had learned about time, about people and the world beyond me.

Then I asked myself: What would I discover if I treated cooking

as thinking?

When I cooked for myself as an 18-year-old, I attempted to

improve the flavor of a dish by adding more things to the pot.

But frustratingly, these dishes tasted of less. A logic of scale

failed here: more was not more.

Then I came across a recipe for tomato sauce, through which

I learned how small changes would cause a big difference. The

first few times I made it, I was respectful towards the amazing

transformation. But once I crushed the garlic instead of carefully

slicing it, and the sauce tasted different. Another time I replaced

fresh tomatoes with canned, which resulted in a watery mixture.

When I documented all the times I had cooked it, I was

suddenly able to answer questions that had escaped me in the

library during my studies. I had been studying the broken

relationship between language and the lived world for years.

Through cooking, I saw how each time a recipe was translated

anew in the kitchen. Therefore, life could be returned to

language, reinvigorating(使复兴)it.

When I cook, I’m using the knowledge produced through the

work of generations of cooks in kitchens all over the world.

Unlike the knowledge stored in libraries, this is information that

each person who uses it can rewrite in their own image. People

who cook become part of a chorus. When I began to pay

attention, I could hear their voices in a bubbling pan. Cooking is

thinking, and there is knowledge on an epic(史诗般的)scale in a

pan of hot red sauce.
