1.[单选题]It is estimated that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. There was nowhere in which a server brought you food and drink that you chose from a menu. In fact, there was no menus anywhere.There were places where travelers could eat centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were bars where one could get a drink. The rich could also eat meals supplied by private cooks. But there was nothing that could be called a "restaurant".A Frenchman changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign, he used the term "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. Soups were considered "restorative", so he called them "restaurants". Finally, people started buying his soups even when not ill. And as time went on, people began to use the term "restaurant" to refer to the place where soup was sold rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened up in France, and people began to buy soups more regularly.Then, restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups. In the 1780s, menus started to appear. By the 1800s, there were many types of restaurants, and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire.A slow start gave way to rapid growth. Cities and towns around the world are filled with restaurants today. It is estimated that there are 1.6 million restaurants in Europe. In America, there are nearly a half million restaurants. Today, diners have millions of choices.The restaurant concept started in_____. A America B Britain C Germany D France E F

3.[简答题]Translate the following passage into Chinese.Visitors can find almost any kind of restaurant in most of the large cities in America. The telephone book lists restaurants for each city according to name, area of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Many restaurants post their menus in the window so you can have some idea of the price and kind of food before you enter. If the menu is not posted, and you are uncertain about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you are seated at a table, or else just ask about the price range. Appearances from the outside can be misleading —— what looks like a small, informal restaurant may really be very expensive, and what looks like a large, expensive restaurant may be very reasonable.

4.Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner didn't know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men and their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine; while the menu that he handed to the lady gave a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous than he really was!

17.The First Assembly LineIn 1913, one of the first moving assembly lines was introduced at the Ford Motor Company by Henry Ford, its founder.Until this time, automobiles were being built one at a time and were quite expensive. Only rich people could afford to buy one.Ford wanted to build a car that the man in the street could afford. To do so he had to produce them at the lowest possible price. After he had developed the very successful Model T, Ford began experimenting with available production techniques. He could not keep up with the demand for his cars. By 1908 the nation was on the move, and Ford's need for production speed was essential.In Fords early assembly line, cars were pulled by rope from one worker to the next. This new technique allowed workers to stay in one place and perform the same task repeatedly on vehicles as they passed by. This reduced production time by about one-half. By using the same method to the assembly of a total car, Henry Ford speeded up car production even more.Now, one finished Model T came off the assembly line every ten second. Choose the correct answers.What was the situation like in 1908?选项： A:People were moving house.; B: People were emigrating.; C:People were moving around a lot.; D:People were moving around a lot faster.

19.阅读理解Task2When Americans eat out, they usually follow certain customs. To get a waiter or waitress’s attention, they may raise their hands to catch his or her eye, or say “Waiter” or “Waitress.” In the U.S., many restaurant workers are poorly paid, so they depend on tips. Most customers tip waiters and waitresses 15 percent of the bill. The tip isn’t usually written on the bill, so you have to add it yourself. The customer usually leaves the tip on the table.Some restaurants serve more food than people can eat at one time. When that happens, many customers ask for a doggie bag to take the leftover food home. Some people may actually give the food to their dogs, but most often they eat it themselves at another time. (1) (单选题)In order to get a waiter’s attention Americans usually raise their hands or say ________. 选项： A: “Come here” B: “Menu” C: “Waiter” D: “Hello”
