Once/When 考查连词。句意:一旦/当做起来,有趣的部分是增加调味。 7. to 考查介词。add ... to ...为固定短语,意为“把……加入……中”。 8. choices 考查名词。形容词healthy修饰名词,choice为可数名词,故此处用复数形式。 9. things 考查名词。one of后接名词复数,故此处用thing的复数形式things。 10. is 考查动词时态和主谓一致。either ... or ... 遵循就近原则,此处谓语动词形式应和maize保持一致,maize为单数形式,又根据上下文语境可知,应用一般现在时,故此处用is。 B Mochi (年糕) is a traditional food popular in Chinese and Japanese cooking
