The first restaurants were invented thousands of years ago. However, they were very different from restaurants today.The first restaurants were in ancient Greece (希腊) and ancient Rome. These restaurants served food in large stone bowls. People didnt order food from a menu. Everyone shared the food from big bowls. People believe that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens. Also, people didnt have to store (储存) food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants.Later, restaurant began to open in China. In the early 1100s, more than one million people lived in the city of Hangzhou, China. It was a very busy city, and people had money. All of these people had to eat. Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the big street in the city. Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome, people in China could choose food from a menu. They didnt have to eat the same food as everyone else.For the next several centuries, there were restaurants all over the world. People could buy food in the street or at inns (小旅馆). Then in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris. These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today. There was a wider choice of food, and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience. In the 19th century, trains made travel much faster and simpler. In the end, this kind of restaurant began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world.Now, restaurants are everywhere. You can buy different kinds of food. You can get food sent to your door. But remember it wasnt always like that.56 . It is believed that these first restaurants were popular because _.Apeople could eat different foodBthe food there was very cheapCpeople were too busy to cookDmost homes didnt have kitchens57 . How were the restaurants in Hangzhou different from the first restaurants?AThey offered menus to customers.BThey usually served the same food.CThey sold the food in large stone bowls.DThey prepared food for all people in the city.58 . What does the underlined part“these restaurants”in Paragraph 4 refer to?ARestaurants in ancient Greece and ancient Rome.BRestaurants in Hangzhou in the early 1100s.CRestaurants in Paris in the middle of the 1700s.DRestaurants all over Europe in the 19th century.59 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ANow people can get food without going out.BThe first restaurants were similar to restaurants today.CHangzhou used to be a city that had no smart cooks.DPeople in ancient Greece and Rome usually stored food at home.60 . The writer wrote this passage to _.Ahelp us choose restaurantsBtell us the history of restaurantsCencourage us to eat at restaurantsDshow us the changes of eating habitsThe hardest language to learnPeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors (因素) to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother language naturally. A native (本国的) speaker of English, for example, will find French much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, because French is similar to English, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect (影响) learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first are, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly because of Chinese writing system (系统), and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters (汉字) in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for other foreigners.Some people seem to learn languages easily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances (环境) also play an important role, as well as each learners motivation (动机) for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their life.No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to (与相关) our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.61 . According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?AJapanese speakers use Chinese characters in their own language.BA persons first language can affect learning a second language.CAn English speaker will find that Chinese is an easy language to learn.DPeople will be able to learn a language fast when they need to use it.62 . The writer thinks that learning a foreign language is easy if _.Athe learners are intelligentBlearners motivation is highCthere are patient teachersDthere are good classrooms63 . Which might be the writers opinion?AChinese is the hardest language in the world.BA persons native language is always easy to learn.CFor every speaker, no language is hard to learn well.DTo different people, the hardest language is different.64 . The writer is probably _.Aa language teacherBa language learnerCa school leaderDa newspaper writer五、填写适当的单词补全句子用适当的词填空。Fill in the blanks with proper words.65 .
