问题 Puerto Rican Cuisine (菜肴）
Puerto Rico, a Caribbean (加勒比海地区）island rich in history and remarkable 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 influenced 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 — was actually imported by foreigners to the island.
A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy (辛辣的）.lt，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.
What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
选项 A Taino dishes are important in Puerto Rican cooking.
B Puerto Rican cooking has many outside influences.
C Food imported by foreigners isn’t really Puerto Rican.
Dfrican foods have probably had the most influence.
答案B
解析第二段的中心思想是波多黎各烹饪包含多种元素，本土的Taino元素虽说还继续存 在，但在很大程度上受到西班牙和非洲元素的影响，除此之外，如今波多黎各出名的咖 啡、椰子和柑橘等也都是来到岛上的外国人带来的。可见本段的主旨不是比较出哪一种 元素最重要，而是要说明波多黎各烹饪是多种元素的融合。
