Eating better and more adventurously is becoming an obsession, especially among people with money to spend. Healthier eating — and not-so-healthy eating — as well as the number and variety of food choices and venues continue to increase at an ever-quickening pace.
Globalization is the master trend that will drive the world of food in the years ahead. Consumers traveling the globe, both virtually and in reality, will be able to sweep up ingredients, packaged foods, recipes, and cooking techniques from every corner of the earth at an ever-intensifying and accelerating pace. Formerly remote ingredients and cooking styles are creating a whole new culinary mosaic as they are transplanted and reinterpreted all over the world.
Many factors are behind this, but none more so than the influence of the great international hotel chains. Virtually every chef who has worked for Hilton, Weston, Peninsula, or any other major chain gathers global experience in locales as diverse as Singapore, New Orleans, Toronto, and Dubai. At each stop, they carry away cooking ideas and techniques they can and do use elsewhere.
This trend will gain even greater momentum as ambitious young adults stake their own futures on internationalization, treating broader food savvy as an important aspect of their own advancement. Young people will need knowledge of food and ingredients from different continents and cultures as one aspect of socialization, enculturation, cultural exchange, and success. In country after country, there seems little doubt that global cuisine will make its biggest inroads among the younger set. Many in the generations now coming of age will treat world-ranging food knowledge and experience as key elements in furthering their personal plans, business acumen, and individual growth.
The Internet has made global contacts a matter of routine. Computer networking wilt permit chefs and others in the food industry, including consumers, to link directly with the best available authorities in faraway nations, supplementing or bypassing second-hand sources of information altogether.
Time, with all its implications, will also be a factor in emerging world food trends. More and more of us are destined to operate on global time — that is, at full tilt 24 hours a day. This will become the norm for companies with resources scattered all over the planet. Beyond the 24-hour supermarkets many of us already take for granted, there will also be three-shift shopping centers open at any hour. Restaurants in the great business capitals intent on cultivating an international clientele will serve midnight breakfasts or break-of- dawn dinners (with the appropriate wines) without raising a single eyebrow.
We can infer from the passage that ______.
选项
A、computer networking will be helpful in the food industry
B、24-hour supermarkets are not very common
C、Few shopping centers are three-shift open at any hour
D、24-hour restaurants are not in practice in the great business capitals
答案
D
解析
推论题,参见文章的最后一段,对于全天24小时开业,作者用的都是将来时态:are destined to there will also be, will serve midnight breakfasts, 可见目前的餐馆还没有实行全天24小时开业。
