阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 When our class was asked to plan a "Food and Culture" evening, we decided to serve dishes from three different regions. At first, some classmates argued that the menu should be kept simple, but our teacher encouraged us to be more adventurous. "Food is part of culture," she said. "If you only serve what everyone already knows, the evening will be tasty but unremarkable." We finally chose a spicy dish from Sichuan, a sweet dish from Guangdong, and a sour soup from Guizhou. To our relief, the combination proved unexpectedly successful: guests kept coming back for seconds. What impressed us most, however, was not the food itself but the conversations it started. Students who had never spoken to each other before argued cheerfully about whether the Sichuan dish was too hot, and the hall grew increasingly lively. Our teacher later told us that the evening had been worthwhile not because the food had been delicious, but because it had given us a chance to see how a single dish can carry the history and character of a place. What does the underlined word "unremarkable" in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

Read the following passage and complete the tasks below. Our school's Culture Club is organizing a "Food and Culture Week" to show students that food is part of culture. Different regions have different dishes, and each dish tells a story about the people who created it. Not only is Sichuan cuisine famous for its hot flavor, but it also reflects the wet climate of the region, because spicy food helps people drive out dampness. In southern China, where rice grows well, the local cuisine makes full use of rice and fresh vegetables. Not only do these dishes taste delicious, but they also carry the history and values of the communities that prepare them. Li Wei, the club's chairman, says, "What we want students to understand is how closely food is connected with local culture." The club has decided that every class should prepare one traditional dish and explain its cultural meaning during the festival. (1) What is the main idea of the passage? Answer in English in one sentence. (2) What is the function of the two sentences beginning with "Not only" in the passage? Explain in English in no more than 25 words. (3) Rewrite the following sentence by using non-finite verbs (非谓语动词), keeping the meaning unchanged: "The dish, which was prepared by the students from Guangdong, won the first prize in the school food festival." (4) Fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets according to the passage: "Not only ________ (be) the food delicious, but it also carries culture."

Read the following passage and complete the tasks below. Some people argue that schools should teach students about food culture in class. Their reasons are as follows. First, food is part of culture, and learning about dishes from different regions helps students understand the world better. Second, knowing how a dish is cooked and why it is flavored in a certain way can improve students' practical skills. However, others hold the opposite view. They believe that school time is limited and should be spent on more important subjects such as math and science. Besides, they worry that cooking lessons may cause safety problems in the classroom. In my opinion, food culture should be taught, but in a proper way. Not only does it make learning more interesting, but it also helps students respect different traditions. If our school offered a food culture course, I would suggest that every student cook one traditional dish and present its cultural background to the class. (1) What is the writer's argument (论点) in the passage? Answer in English in one sentence. (2) List the two pieces of evidence (论据) that support the first group of people's view. Answer in English.

(4) Translate the following Chinese sentence into English by using "Not only...but also..." (倒装): "这道菜不但美味，而且承载着当地的文化。"
