[解析]
(1)C.推理判断题。根据第一段The pasty (馅饼) has been a recorded part of the British diet since the 13th century,at that time being enjoyed by the rich upper classes.The fillings were different and rich. (自13世纪以来,馅饼就成为英国饮食中有记载的一部分,当时是富有的上层阶级的美食。馅料不同且丰富。)可知,在13世纪馅饼被富裕的上层阶级广泛食用。故选C。
(2)D.细节理解题。根据第二段The presence of carrot in a pasty,although common now,was the mark of a poor pasty at first. (胡萝卜在馅饼中的存在,虽然现在很常见,但最初是一个糟糕的馅饼的标志。)可知,在17和18世纪如果胡萝卜出现在馅饼里会被认为是糟糕的。故选D。
(3)D.推理判断题。根据第三段However,there is agreement that the meat should be cut into pieces,the vegetables sliced and none should be cooked before they are sealed (密封) within the pastry.It is this that makes the Cornish pasty different from other similar foods. (然而,人们一致认为,肉应该切成片,蔬菜应该切片,在密封在馅饼内之前,任何东西都不应该煮熟。正是这一点使康沃尔馅饼不同于其他类似的食物。)可知,Cornish馅饼的特殊之处是馅料在密封前不能煮熟。故选D。
(4)B.写作意图题。根据第一段的It wasn't until the 17th and 18th centuries that the pasty was popular among miners and farm workers in Cornwall as a means for providing themselves with easy and tasty meals while they worked.And so the Cornish pasty was born. (直到17世纪和18世纪,馅饼才在康沃尔的矿工和农场工人中流行起来,作为一种工作时为自己提供简单美味的食物的方式。康沃尔馅饼就这样诞生了。)可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍馅饼的基本信息。故选B。
