新題型：英語四級真題及詳解精講版(2006年6月)

　　五、試題詳解

　　30. A) Many foreign tourists visit the United States every year. A) 每年都有許多國外游客訪問美國。

　　B) Americans enjoy eating out with their friends. B) 美國人喜歡和朋友外出就餐。

　　C) The United States is a country of immigrants. C) 美國是個移民國家。

　　D) Americans prefer foreign foods to their own food. D) 比起本國食物，美國人更喜歡吃外國食物。

　　【解題核心】選項中的foreign，immigrants表明本題很可能與美國對外來食物的喜好有關(guān)。選項A、C、D三項均與“外來食物”有關(guān)，B選項與外來食物無關(guān)，可初步排除。D選項說美國人更偏愛外來食物而不大喜歡自己國家的食物，說法過于絕對，故也可初步排除。因此本題的關(guān)鍵就是在tourists和immigrants之間選擇。

　　【正確項分析】文中提到的原因之二是說美國人來自世界各地，與選項C相符。

　　【干擾項分析】選項A、B、D在原文中并沒有提到。最大干擾項是選項D，雖然文中提到enjoy eating the food of other nations，但僅僅是喜歡異國風(fēng)味食物，并沒有與本國食物比較。

　　31. A) They can make friends with people from other countries. A) 他們可以與其他國家的人交朋友。

　　B) They can get to know people of other cultures and their lifestyles. B) 他們可以認(rèn)識來自不同文化的人并且了解他們的生活方式。

　　C) They can practice speaking foreign languages there. C) 他們可以在那里練習(xí)講外語。

　　D) They can meet with businessmen from all over the world. D) 他們可以遇到來自世界各國的商人。

　　【解題核心】選項中都含有can表明本題很可能與做某事能夠達(dá)到的目的有關(guān)。由選項中的other countries，other cultures，foreign等可推測本題很可能涉及到與其他國家人民的接觸。根據(jù)對主題的分析可知本文主要與飲食有關(guān)，而選項C、D分別是從語言和商業(yè)角度來說，與主題不太相關(guān)，二者均不大可能為答案。故本題主要應(yīng)在選項A和B之間選擇。

　　【正確項分析】文中明確提到“Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the people and their way of life”。選項B與as well as并列結(jié)構(gòu)之后的原因相符。

　　32. A) The couple cook the dishes and the children help them. A) 夫妻烹飪，孩子們幫忙。

　　B) The husband does the cooking and the wife serves as the waitress. B) 丈夫烹飪，妻子作為侍者照顧客人。

　　C) The mother does the cooking while the father and children serve the guests. C) 母親烹飪，父親與孩子照顧客人。

　　D) A hired cook prepares the dishes and the family members serve the guests. D) 雇傭廚師烹飪，所有家庭成員照顧客人。

　　【解題核心】選項中waitress, serve, guests以及husband, mother, children等表明本題很可能與家庭經(jīng)營的餐館中各個家庭成員如何分工有關(guān)。四個選項中負(fù)責(zé)cooking的人均不同，故聽音時只要辨別出由誰來cooking即可確定答案。

　　【正確項分析】“The mother of the family cooks all of the dishes, and the father and children serve the people who come to eat there.”輕松可以判斷出，選項C與之相符。

　　六、原文及譯文

　　If you visit a big city anywhere in the world, you will probably find a restaurant would serve the food of your own native country. Most large cities in the United States offer international sample of foods. Many people enjoy eating the food of other nations. This is probably one reason why there are so many different kinds of restaurants in the United States. A second reason is that many Americans come from other parts of the world. They enjoy tasting the foods of their native lands. In the city of Detroit, for example, there are many people from Western Europe, Greece, Latin America, and the Far East. There are many restaurants in Detroit which serve the foods of these areas. There are many other international restaurants too. Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the people and their way of life. One of the most common international restaurants to be found in the United States is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant may be a small business run by a single family. The mother of the family cooks all of the dishes, and the father and children serve the people who come to eat there. Or it may be a large restaurant owned by several different people who worked together in the business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy are made with meats, tomatoes and cheese. They are very delicious and tasty.

　　30. Why are there so many international restaurants in the United States?

　　31. Why do Americans like to go to international restaurants apart from enjoying the foods there?

　　32. How is a typical Italian family restaurant run in the United States?

　　去世界上任何一個大城市，大概都會找到一家供應(yīng)你本國食物的餐館。在美國，多數(shù)大城市提供來自全世界的食物。很多人喜歡吃其他國家的食物，這可能就是美國的風(fēng)味餐廳眾多的原因之一。第二個原因是美國人來自世界各地，他們喜歡品嘗自己國家的食物。例如在底特律，許多人來自西歐、希臘、拉丁美洲和遠(yuǎn)東地區(qū)，所以底特律就有許多餐館提供這些區(qū)域的食物。還有很多其他的國際飯店。美國人喜歡這些餐廳的食物并且將其作為更好地了解他人以及其生活方式的機(jī)會。在美國，最常見的國際飯店是意大利餐館。這個餐館可能是由單個家庭經(jīng)營的小型餐廳。母親負(fù)責(zé)烹飪，父親和孩子們負(fù)責(zé)招待就餐的客人。它也可能是幾個人共同合作經(jīng)營的大餐廳。美國人喜歡的許多意大利菜是用肉、番茄和奶酪制成，美味可口。

　　31. 為什么在美國有這么多的國際飯店?

　　32. 除享受食物，還有什么原因促使美國人熱衷于國際飯店?

　　33. 一個典型的意大利家庭餐館在美國是怎樣經(jīng)營的?
