三、阅读理解（共 3 道试题，共 30 分。）
1. Every people uses its own special words to describe things and express
ideas. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others
are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is
“Where’s the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is
said to be. In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef?” was one of the most
popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was
using it at the time. Beef is the meat from a cow, and probably no food
is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s
Ray Kroc began building small restaurants called “McDonald’s” which
sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc cooked hamburgers quickly so people
in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting. By the end of the 1960s
the McDonald’s Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants
in America. So Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.

Other businessmen opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company,
called “Wendy’s”, began to compete with McDonald’s. Wendy’s said its
hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The
Wendy’s Company created the expression “Where’s the beef?” to make
people believe that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. It produced a
television advertisement to sell this idea. The Wendy’s television
advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that
covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a tiny bit of
meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little
piece of beef. “Where’s the beef?” she shouted in funny voice. These
advertisements for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants were a success from the
first day they appeared on television. Then it seemed everyone began using
the expression “Where’s the beef?”
1). The expression “Where’s the beef?” in the passage means __________.
A. the beef is lost
B. something is not as good as described
C. the beef is not as good as it is said to be
D. the food has turned bad
-----------------选择：B
2). Hamburgers have become very popular in America because they are
__________.
A. made form beef
B. cheaper than any other kind of food
C. served quickly and at a low price
D. the only fast food in America
-----------------选择：C
3). Other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants because __________.
A. hamburgers are good to eat
B. they could cook hamburgers in a short time
C. hamburgers are easy to make
D. they thought they could make a lot of money
-----------------选择：D
4). Wendy’s made the expression known to everybody by __________.
A. a newspaper
B. writing letters to people
C. a notice in front of the restaurant
D. a TV advertisement
-----------------选择：D
5). According to the passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A. In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef?” was the most popular
expression in America.
B. Perhaps the hamburger is the most popular food in America.
C. Wendy’s created the expression “Where’s the beef?” to compete with
McDonald’s in selling hamburgers.

D. “Where’s the beef?” got popular as soon as it appeared in the TV
advertisement.
-----------------选择：A
2. Be sure to make reservations (预订) if the restaurant you chose is
a fancy or popular one. It’s very shameful to show up without reservations
and have to wait for a table, leaving a very bad impression on your date.
Also, be sure to check to see if they have a dress code and tell your date
in advance what to wear. When your food arrives, proper dining manner
requires you to eat at a proper pace so that you have time to talk. A good
measure of how fast you should eat is to count 10 seconds between every
two mouthfuls. It is bad dining manner if you gobble (狼吞虎咽) down your
food and you spend the rest of the time watching your date eat. Do not
make any noise or chew with your mouth open. Your napkin (餐巾纸) should
be placed on your legs all the time. If you have to get up, place it neatly
on your seat. When eating, put in your fork straight in your mouth. Don’t
place your fork in the side of your mouth as it increases the chances of
food sliding away, which could be very shameful. If you get food stuck
in your mouth don’t pick it out with your fingers or fork at the table.
Excuse yourself and go to the restroom and get it out with a toothpick.
When dining, keep your eyes on your date at all times and try to smile
between mouthfuls. Occasionally, you should make an effort to show some
interest and ask questions like, “How do you like the beef?” If she needs
anything, you are the one who is supposed to flag down (使??停止，招
呼) the waiter by a gentle wave of the hand until he or she notices you.
1). The word “fancy” in the first sentence of the first paragraph can
best be replaced by “__________”.
A. complex
B. awful
C. complicated
D. fine
-----------------选择：D
2). When your food arrives, you had better to __________.
A. eat the food as quickly as possible
B. spend a lot of time watching your date eat
C. avoid the eye contact to your date
D. eat at a proper speed
-----------------选择：D
3). According to the passage, which is the correct manner in eating?
A. You need reserve a table at any restaurants.
B. Counting ten seconds between every two mouthfuls is a good manner.
C. When you get up, you need place your napkin neatly on your table.
D. When you get food stuck in your mouth, you can pick it out with your
fingers.
-----------------选择：B

4). When you are dining, you can __________.
A. keep smiling at all times
B. show interest in the price of food
C. show concern for your date
D. shout to the waiter or waitress
-----------------选择：C

A. How to Eat
B. Eating Behavior
C. Dining Manner When Dating
D. How to Date
-----------------选择：C

student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of
which turned out to be OK. Then the professor asked about the cure for
illness, and the student, too, answered just as right. “Good,” said the
professor, “and how much will you give the patient?” “A full spoon,”
answered the student. “Now you may go out and wait for what you can get,”
said the professor. At the same time the committee carefully discussed
the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there
was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much,”
he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried,
