特训02.阅读理解+完形填空+短文填空 一、阅读理解 1 Have you ever been to a buffet restaurant（自助餐厅）? You can eat as much as you want for one low price at these places. Sadly, many of these restaurants have closed in the US due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At buffet restaurants, people have to share one serving area when they get their food, which makes it easier for sickness to spread. But for a long time, they were quite popular. “Buffet” is the French word for sideboard—a piece of furniture that was used to serve food and display（展示）serving dishes. The word was later used to describe a new dining concept（理念）: serving yourself from a wide selection of dishes, including soups, salads, and other dishes that are easy to share. Most buffet restaurants in the US are “all you can eat”—that is, you pay one price and can go back to the buffet table for seconds, thirds, or even fourths!

Even in the small town where I went to college, there were three different Chinese buffet restaurants. I would often go there with my friends on weekends. We would pay just eight dollars to eat plate after plate of kung pao chicken, ginger beef, and egg rolls. For kids like us who didn’t have much money, the Chinese buffet was a lifesaver. Here in China, I sometimes go to a Sunday buffet at a fancy（高档的）hotel. When I go, I can eat as much steak（牛排）and shrimp（虾）as I want. So, never go there when you are very hungry. 1.
