Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark 【B卷·培优卷】 一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共48分） Do you know when restaurants were invented? 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t always like that. 1．It is believed that these first restaurants were popular because ________. A．people could eat different food B．the food there was very cheap C．people were too busy to cook D．most homes didn’t have kitchens 2．How were the restaurants in Hangzhou different from the first restaurants? A．They offered menus to customers. B．They usually served the same food. C．They sold the food in large stone bowls. D．They prepared food for all people in the city. 3．What does the underlined part “these restaurants” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Restaurants in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. B．Restaurants in Hangzhou in the early 1100s. C．Restaurants in Paris in the middle of the 1700s. D．Restaurants all over Europe in the 19th century. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Now people can get food without going out. B．The first restaurants were similar to restaurants today. C．Hangzhou used to be a city that had no smart cooks. D．People in ancient Greece and Rome usually stored food at home. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了餐馆的发展史。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“People believe that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens.”可知，人们认为这些餐馆很受欢迎，因为古希腊和罗马的大多数家庭都没有厨房。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome, people in China could choose food from a menu.”可知，与古希腊和古罗马不同，中国人可以从菜单中选择食物。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Then in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris. These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today.”可知，These restaurants指18世纪中叶的巴黎餐馆。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“You can get food sent to your door.”可知你可以让食物送到你的家门口，故选项A正确；根据第一段“The first restaurants were invented thousands of years ago. However, they were very different from restaurants today.”以及第二段内容可知，第一家餐馆与今天的很不一样，故选项B错误；根据第三段“Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the big street in the city.”可知杭州过去就有聪明的厨师，故选项C错误；根据第二段“Also, people didn’t have to store food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants.”可知，古希腊和罗马人没必要储存食物，故选项D错误。故选A。 ① Mrs. Li is over 70 years old.

My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. ④ The food we ate was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I wasn’t sent to school because my family couldn’t afford it. ⑤ Reporter: How has life changed? ⑥ Mrs. Li: Families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education. I’m happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often. ⑦ Transport and travel are easier today.

Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉)? You are complaining (抱怨)to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn’t powerful enough to play the latest games. 20 Then you hear... When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand. 21 So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. 22 So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children. 23   Thirty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary-we can’t imagine living without them! However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it’s just us, with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. 24 some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past. What do you think? How is teenage life better these days? A．And it was too big for me. B．A typical family is smaller now. C．Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours! D．So they aren’t as healthy as they were in the past.

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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t always like that. 1．It is believed that these first restaurants were popular because ________. A．people could eat different food B．the food there was very cheap C．people were too busy to cook D．most homes didn’t have kitchens 2．How were the restaurants in Hangzhou different from the first restaurants? A．They offered menus to customers. B．They usually served the same food. C．They sold the food in large stone bowls. D．They prepared food for all people in the city. 3．What does the underlined part “these restaurants” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Restaurants in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. B．Restaurants in Hangzhou in the early 1100s. C．Restaurants in Paris in the middle of the 1700s. D．Restaurants all over Europe in the 19th century. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Now people can get food without going out. B．The first restaurants were similar to restaurants today. C．Hangzhou used to be a city that had no smart cooks. D．People in ancient Greece and Rome usually stored food at home. ① Mrs. Li is over 70 years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. A reporter interviewed her yesterday. The following are their questions and answers. ② Reporter: What was your life like in the past? ③ Mrs. Li: My family lived in a tiny house. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. ④ The food we ate was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I wasn’t sent to school because my family couldn’t afford it. ⑤ Reporter: How has life changed? ⑥ Mrs. Li: Families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education. I’m happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often. ⑦ Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot or sometimes by bike. Now you can take the bus, the underground or a plane to travel. What I don’t like is that there’s so much more traffic. It’s so difficult to cross the road. And, of course, we have television today and I really enjoy watching TV. But I hate some of the shows because they are too noisy for me. ⑧ Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat better and we live longer. 5．Who does Paragraph 3 (第3段) mainly talk about?

I spent two years in Beijing as a student in the late 1990s and I recently went back there on holiday.

Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉)? You are complaining (抱怨)to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn’t powerful enough to play the latest games. 20 Then you hear... When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand. 21 So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. 22 So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children. 23   Thirty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary-we can’t imagine living without them! However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it’s just us, with our computer or television.
