How do you want your eggs? Someone might ask that question at breakfast. It can be tricky if you've never thought about it before, and there are many ways to cook eggs!
One popular way kids like is “scrambled”, which means the cook breaks the eggs and mixes the whites and yolks together. If you cook them for a short time, they are soft scrambled—just a bit runny. But if you cook them for a longer time, you can make an “omelet”—you have to fold the hard scrambled eggs, but don't mix them up. They can get a bit dry, and you will just have a folded, hard filling.
Another favourite way to cook eggs is “sunny side up”. It means the egg is fried on one side until the edges turn brown, and the yolk looks like the bright yellow sun. If you turn it over and cook it a little longer, you can get an “over easy” egg. If you want to be less runny, you can continue cooking it—for an “over medium” egg, you still don't turn over. Over hard, eggs are fried until the whites are fully cooked and the yolks are also cooked even longer until the whites and yolks are fully cooked.
If you want to take an egg for lunch, try a “hard boiled” egg. You can peel it and eat it as a snack or cut it up for a salad. For a “soft boiled” egg, you can cook it for about 10 to 12 minutes.
So, how do you like your eggs? The choice is yours!

C篇
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了烧鸡蛋的多种方式(如炒鸡蛋、单面煎蛋等),详细说明每种做法的步骤与特点,最后让读者自主选择喜欢的鸡蛋做法。
第26题:细节理解题
解析:关注不同煎蛋类型的“蛋黄熟度”描述。根据文中“'over easy' egg”对应的描述是“turn it over and cook it a little longer(翻面稍煎)”,此时蛋白已熟、蛋黄仍软;而“over medium”是“不翻面、减少溏心”,“over hard”是全熟。因此选B。
答案:B
第27题:细节统计题
解析:文中提到的鸡蛋做法有:scrambled(炒鸡蛋)、sunny side up/over easy/over medium/over hard(煎蛋的不同熟度)、hard boiled/soft boiled(煮鸡蛋),共3种。
答案:B

【分析】
25题：词义猜测题，解题思路是结合上下文语境推断划线词含义。第一段提到“若从未想过如何选鸡蛋做法，会tricky，且有多种煮蛋方式”，说明选择并非简单，需匹配选项。
26题：细节理解题，解题思路是定位文中不同煎蛋类型的描述，找到“蛋白熟、蛋黄仍软”对应的类型。
27题：细节统计题，解题思路是梳理文中所有提及的煮蛋方式，准确计数。
28题：文章出处题，解题思路是根据文章主题（日常煮蛋方式）判断所属杂志板块。
【解析】
25题：由第一段“it can be tricky if you've never thought about it before, and there are many ways to cook eggs”可知，选择鸡蛋做法有多种方式，并非易事，故tricky意为“难的”，对应选项B。
26题：定位第三段关于煎蛋的描述，“over easy” egg是翻面稍煎，此时蛋白已熟、蛋黄仍软，符合题意，故选B。
27题：文中提到的煮蛋方式有：scrambled（炒鸡蛋）、煎蛋系列（sunny side up/over easy/over medium/over hard）、hard boiled/soft boiled（煮鸡蛋），共3种，故选B。
28题：文章介绍日常生活中煮鸡蛋的多种方式，属于生活类内容，应出自杂志的Life板块，故选A。
