Pizza:the World’s Favorite Food

Food,and the way we eat it,are always changing.As society develops,we learn new ways of growing,processing and cooking food.What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today.Also,when people travel to live in other countries,they take their knowledge of cooking with them.And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes,too.One food that has done this successfully is pizza.

The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889.A famous baker from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal family.He was very worried they wouldn’t like it,but they did.Queen Margherita loved the dish so much,and the baker named it after her.Since then,this simple meal of bread,cheese,and tomato has traveled the world,and it has adapted to local cultures.The pizza began its journey in the 1890s,when many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life.There they continued to make pizzas,and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.

At first it was only popular with Italians,but by the late 1940s,Americans discovered a taste for it.Today,they spend $37 billion a year on pizzas.That’s more than $100 per American!

The pizza continued its travels around the world,adapting all the time.In Sweden,for example,it is usual to have bananas on pizzas.In Belgium,people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows on top.Japan is a nation of seafood lovers,so not surprisingly,they love octopus and squid,as well as roasted seaweed,toppings.

The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles.In today’s super-fast society,people often don’t have the time or energy to cook.So,they order take-out and very often,it’s a pizza.Sometimes you don’t even have to pick it up;it’s delivered to your home.If you don’t even have time to sit down,buy a single slice and eat it standing up!

The pizza has come a long way.From its beginnings in an Italian city,it has grown to become one of the world’s favorite foods.

4.What did the pizza first appear as?

A.Homemade white bread.

B.Fast food for travelers.

C.A dish for the royal family.

D.A popular local food.

5.When did the pizza arrive in New York?

A.In 1889. B.In the 1890s.

C.In 1905. D.In the 1940s.

6.In which country do people love pizzas with bananas on top?

A.Japan. B.Belgium.

C.Sweden. D.Australia.

7.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.How the pizza gets popular.

B.Who made the first pizza.

C.How the pizza is made.

D.Where the pizza comes from.

C

I realized that I would not see a real person named Sophie at Sophie’s Eatery,because like most new restaurants these days,Sophie’s Eatery is a robo-restaurant.

When I walked in,a cute little manager robot appeared,looking rather like a toaster with blinking blue eyes.It escorted me to a nice table in the back.The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining choices.I tapped my choices and clicked OK,and the screen slid back down.

I watched as full plates rode the conveyor belts that moved along each aisle(过道) of tables.In just a few minutes,my dish stopped at my table,and I took it from the belt.Later,I placed my empty plate back on the conveyor belt,and it was taken away into the kitchen to be cleaned.

I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish.The food was delicious,but I was starting to feel extremely angry because dealing with robots always made me feel inhuman.Pretty soon,I wanted to talk to someone real,even if it was just a few sentences.

So when my dessert arrived,I took action.I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash.I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster’s blinking red eyes—at last,a real live person would arrive!

But instead,a crew of two robots quickly appeared.A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the pieces of the broken plate into a robot garbage can.They finished and moved back into the kitchen.

My plan to get a little reality into Sophie’s Eatery failed.I wish the robo-restaurant tendency to end soon.I want to deal with people again!

8.What does the underlined word “escorted” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Registered. B.Guided.

C.Conducted. D.Rushed.

9.What is the purpose of the author crashing his plate?

A.To deal with a real human.

B.To catch attention of the robots.

C.To play jokes on the robots.

D.To complain about the bad service.

10.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling at Sophie’s Eatery?

A.Satisfied. B.Shocked.

C.Annoyed. D.Curious.

11.What is the text mainly about?

A.The trend of dining with robots.

B.The advantage of robo-restaurants.

C.The food variety of a robo-restaurant.

D.The dining experience at a robo-restaurant.

1.A　细节理解题。根据Open Table中的“Open Table users can also make reservations directly through the app or website.”可知,这一软件可以帮助人们预订桌位。故选A项。

2.B　细节理解题。根据Local Eats中的“Restaurant chains,like McDonald’s,can be found almost anywhere a person might travel.But sometimes tourists want to eat like locals.”可知,连锁餐厅,就像麦当劳,几乎可以在任何一个人可能去旅游的地方找到。但有时游客想像当地人一样吃饭,所以这一软件适合游客。故选B项。

3.C　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的“there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their diets”可知,本文介绍这几个应用软件的目的是帮助人们改善饮食,使饮食更健康。故选C项。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了比萨是如何流行起来的。

4.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889.A famous baker from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal family.”可知,我们今天所认识的比萨最早出现于1889年的意大利,一位那不勒斯的著名面包师为意大利皇室制作了一种特别的比萨,由此可知,比萨最初是作为皇室的一道菜肴出现的,故C项正确。

5.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The pizza began its journey in the 1890s,when many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life.There they continued to make pizzas,and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.”可知,19世纪90年代比萨开始了它的世界之旅,当时许多意大利人为了追求更好的生活搬到了纽约,在那里,他们继续做比萨,第一家比萨店于1905年开业,由此可知,比萨是19世纪90年代传到纽约的,故B项正确。

6.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In Sweden,for example,it is usual to have bananas on pizzas.”可知,在瑞典,人们通常会在比萨上放香蕉,故C项正确。

7.A　主旨大意题。通读全文,结合文章标题可知,本文主要介绍的是比萨的发展和流行过程:最早出现于1889年的意大利,是面包师为意大利皇室做的一种食品,19世纪90年代比萨开始发展到美国,1905年第一家比萨店开张。后来比萨在全世界流行起来,受到世界各地人民的欢迎。故A项正确。

【语篇导读】本文讲述了作者在机器人餐馆的用餐体验,作者对此并不满意,而是渴望有真人服务的餐馆。由此可见,改变有时也是有利有弊的。

8.B　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish.”可知,机器人把顾客带到餐桌前。“It escorted me to a nice table in the back.”中的escorted应与guide意义相近,即escort意为“指引,护送”。故选B项。

9.A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Pretty soon,I wanted to talk to someone real,even if it was just a few sentences.”可知作者想和一个真人说说话。第五段中作者采取行动,即故意把盘子掉在地板上,结合“at last,a real live person would arrive”以及下一段可知,作者摔盘子的目的是想和一个真正的人交流。故选A项。

10.C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I was starting to feel extremely angry”可知,作者对在这家餐厅吃饭感到非常生气。因此annoyed“恼怒的”最能描述作者在机器人餐馆的就餐心情。故选C项。
