Max Burns, a young British man, is very popular on the internet because of his videos of making Chinese food.

In his videos, Max not only shares the ways of cooking the real Chinese food at home, but also tells the stories behind the dishes, making his videos both educational and interesting. The videos are helping him win millions of fans all over the world.
"When people ask me where I'm from, I find it hard to answer because I grew up in China and now I'm living in the UK," he says. "I'm just trying to share Chinese and British culture with Chinese and British people, and build a cultural bridge between them."

解析
【分析】
1. 第1题是词义猜测题，需结合上下文语境判断划线词含义：根据第一段，Max搬回英国后想念中国菜，最初从当地中餐馆订购takeaways，后文提到这些菜不如中国的好吃且昂贵，由此可推断takeaways的意思。
2. 第2题是句子还原题，需梳理上下文逻辑：前文提到Max发现朋友对真正的中国菜了解不多，后文说他制作中国菜视频并上传网络，需选承上启下的句子衔接前后内容。
3. 第3题是细节理解题，需定位原文信息：最后一段Max明确说明自己在中国长大，现在住在英国，直接对应问题的答案。
4. 第4题是主旨大意题，需把握作者写作意图：文章介绍Max通过制作中国菜视频分享文化的经历，需判断作者的核心目的。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测：根据第一段语境，Max搬回英国后想念中国菜，先从当地中餐馆订购takeaways，后文提到这些菜不好吃还贵，可知takeaways意为“外卖食品”，即订购并送来的食物，故选B。
2. 句子还原：前文提到Max发现朋友对真正的中国菜了解不多，后文说他制作视频分享中国菜，说明中间是他想做点相关的事，A项“所以他想做点什么”符合逻辑衔接，故选A。
3. 细节理解：定位最后一段Max的表述，他在中国长大，现在住在英国，因此难回答来自哪里，对应D选项，故选D。
