English food is thought of poorly in other countries. This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged (不得不) to eat in the more fast-food type of restaurant. Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large amounts, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment (营养), is quite satisfactory. Still, it is rather dull and not always pleasantly presented. Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry (at least at lunch), and a meal eaten in a leisurely way in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable than a meal taken quickly in a business-like environment. In general, it is possible to get a good meal at a reasonable price; in fact, such a meal may be less expensive than similar food in other countries. For those with money to spare, there are restaurants that compare favorably with the best in any country.In many countries breakfast is a snack (点心) rather than a meal, but the typical English breakfast is a full meal. Some people have a bowl of hot or cold cereal(谷物) to begin with. Then comes a large and filling course, usually cooked, such as bacon (腊肉) and eggs, or some other type of meat. Yorkshire ham (火腿) is also a breakfast many people enjoy. Afterwards comes toast, with butter and marmalade (果子酱), and perhaps some fruit. Tea or coffee is drunk with the meal. Many English people now take such a full breakfast only on Sunday morning.1. Food in the more fast-food type of restaurant in Britain is always _. A. served in large amounts B. very pleasant in appearance C. quite acceptable for foreigners D. not so delicious 2. According to the passage, English food is _ in terms of nourishment. A. actually quite satisfactory B. not good at all C. always very simple D. always taken in pleasant surroundings despite its poor taste 3. Foreigners in Britain always choose to _. A. eat the most typical food B. have a full breakfast every day C. buy the least expensive food D. have their meals in the more fast-food type of restaurant 4. Which of the following statements is probably true? A. Englishmen always talk about time while eating. B. The same meal would be more enjoyable if eaten in better surroundings. C. Its almost impossible for any British restaurant to rank among the best in the world. D. People can hardly get enough food at a reasonable price in Britain. 5. Which of the following statements is probably NOT true? A. Many Englishmen have a full breakfast only once a week. B. Typical breakfast in Britain is a meal rather than a snack. C. Englishmen are so stuck in their old ways that they have a full breakfast every day. D. English people always have tea or coffee with a full breakfast instead of fruit juice. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Television carries more national advertising than any other medium in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries, (Sweden and Denmark, for example) the state-owned television accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial (商业广告) time is very much limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Russian state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988.The chief reason that television is so well liked among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For companies that must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of their benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising.Because it employs motion as well as words, pictures, sounds, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in showing how quickly an automobile can move or how well a certain type of wristwatch will stand up under heavy use and continue to run. In the same way, it is an ideal medium for showing how some products can make a person feel better about him- or herself, such as long-distance telephone calls.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. There is less advertising on TV in Spain than in Sweden. B. One can never see any commercial on TV in Denmark since it is not accepted at all. C. The amount of commercial
