食品安全（food safety）、吃貨(a foodie)、有機食品(organic food）、垃圾食品(junk food)等這些概念也是試題中經常出現的。而且，今天在推薦兩道美食：（1）臭豆腐（stinky tofu,which is strong-smelling preserved bean curd）;(2)四喜丸子（Sixi Meatballs:Braised Pork Balls in Gravy Sauce）

　　老夏考研“每日一題”選自《大西洋月刊》，原文文章标題為“Eat Food. All the Time. Mostly Junk.”（吃的食物。總這樣。主要是垃圾。）我們今天的題目更換一種形式。 ......

　　【題目】正如下文中所使用的那樣，下面哪項與“促成、導緻”無關？

　　[A] driving.

　　[B]targeting.

　　[C] spurred.

　　[D] inspired.

　　【試題】

　　①We’re now 50 years or so into an unprecedented run of culinary* activism known as “the food revolution” — a loose term, but in general think farmers’ markets, school-lunch reforms, chefs widespread on TV, and middle-class kitchens stocked with olive* oil and preserved lemons. ②That revolution is driving the politics of food, too: Federal policies targeting agriculture, hunger, nutrition, and food safety have jumped to the headlines and spurred a tremendous amount of local and national organizing. ③And, of course, we have celebrities — including chefs, nutritionists, movie stars, and Michelle Obama — telling us how to eat for optimal health and reminding us of the sacred importance of family dinner. ④It was this sensibility, combined with cheap and head-spinning travel to Europe, that inspired young gastronomes* such as Alice Waters to make “fresh and local” the basis for an entire culinary philosophy.

　　【參考譯文】

　　①We’re now 50 years or so into an unprecedented run of culinary* activism known as “the food revolution” — a loose term, but in general think farmers’ markets, school-lunch reforms, chefs widespread on TV, and middle-class kitchens stocked with olive oil and preserved lemons. 50年前，一場史無前例的烹饪運動開始了，被稱為“食品革命”—— 這是一個寬泛的術語，但總的來說，它讓人想到農市、學校午餐改革、電視上随處可見的廚師，以及中産階級廚房裡擺滿了橄榄油和腌制檸檬。

　　②That revolution is driving the politics of food, too: Federal policies targeting agriculture, hunger, nutrition, and food safety have jumped to the headlines and spurred a tremendous amount of local and national organizing. 這場革命也在推動食品政治:針對農業、饑餓、營養和食品安全的聯邦政策已經成為頭條新聞，并刺激了大量的地方和國家的活動。

　　③And, of course, we have celebrities — including chefs, nutritionists, movie stars, and Michelle Obama — telling us how to eat for optimal health and reminding us of the sacred importance of family dinner. 此外，當然，還有一些名人 —— 包括廚師、營養學家、電影明星和米歇爾·奧巴馬 —— 都告訴我們如何吃才能保持最佳健康狀态，并提醒我們家庭聚餐的神聖重要性。

　　④It was this sensibility, combined with cheap and head-spinning travel to Europe, that inspired young gastronomes* such as Alice Waters to make “fresh and local” the basis for an entire culinary philosophy. 正是這種感性，再加上廉價而又讓人頭暈目眩的歐洲之旅，激發了愛麗絲•沃特斯(Alice Waters)等年輕美食家将“新鮮而本土化”作為整個烹饪哲學的基礎。
