【解析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了如何做山药汤和柠檬酸奶蛋糕。
1．细节理解题。根据How To Make Tasty Yam Pottage部分Ingredient中的“A Pinch of Salt”、“Blended mix of scotch bonnet pepper, tomatoes, ¼ onion”及“Groundfish”可知，制作山药汤需要盐、番茄和底栖鱼，而没有提到鳞茎，故B项正确。
2．推理判断题。根据How To Make Sumptuous Lemon Yoghurt Cake部分Method中的“2.In a large bowl, scrape the lemon zest from the lemon and add the sugar. Then gently use your fingers to massage the zest with the Sugar.”可知，在一个大碗里，从柠檬上刮下柠檬皮，加入糖，然后用手指轻轻地把糖均匀涂抹在柠檬果肉上，由此可知，用文中提到的这种做法做出来的柠檬酸奶蛋糕酸甜适中，故A项正确。
3．细节理解题。根据How To Make Sumptuous Lemon Yoghurt Cake部分Method中的“6.Bake at 350F（华氏350度）in the oven for about an hour”可知，蛋糕需要在350华氏度的烤箱中烤约一小时；再根据“7.After an hour, stick a skewer into the cake to make sure it is ready, then bring it out of the oven and let it sit on a rack to cool down for about 15 minutes.”可知，在烤箱里烤一小时后，需要拿出来冷却15分钟左右，由此可知，把蛋糕放进烤箱后，要75（60+15）分钟后才能吃，故B项正确。
