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. 41．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 42．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. 43．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. 44．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. 评卷人 得分 四、任务型阅读 Wen Xinrui, a student from Shanghai, together with her family, is seeing the great changes of China in recent years.

考查副词辨析。never从不；seldom很少；sometimes有时；always总是。根据“Reading is his favorite.”可知，此处应为我哥哥总是在图书馆。故选D。 3．D 【详解】句意：为了保护眼睛，他很少使用电子产品。 考查副词。always总是；often经常；usually通常；seldom很少，不常；根据“In order to protect his eyes”即常识可知，要想保护眼睛就应该少用或不用电子产品，故选D。 4．D 【详解】句意：---日本，印度和中国，哪个国家的人口最少？---当然是日本。 本题考查形容词最高级。A. small小的，形容词    B. smaller更小的，small的比较级    C. smallest最小的，small的最高级；比较范围是Japan，India or China三者间的比较，用最高级，最高级前要加定冠词the，故选D。 5．A 【详解】句意：如果你想学好英语，你一定要经常使用它。本题考查副词辨析。A. often经常    B. long长地    C. hard努力地    D. soon不久，分析句子可知此空是用来修饰动词use的，结合句意，故选A。 6．D 【详解】句意：托尼的妈妈正忙着给他做早饭。 考查动名词作宾语。be busy doing sth忙于做某事，使用动名词作宾语。故选D。 7．B 【详解】句意：人们比50年前活得更长，更健康。本题考查形容词的比较级。A. healthy健康的，形容词    B. healthier更健康的，healthy的比较级    C. healthily健康地，副词    D. more healthily更加健康地，healthily的比较级；stay保持，系动词，用形容词修饰，所以C、D错误；and表并列，所以此空用比较级形式，故选B。 8．B 【详解】句意：表扬可以让人开心并且想要取得更大进步。 考查名词辨析。Fear害怕；Praise表扬、赞扬；Doubt怀疑；Regret后悔。根据空后“can make people happy and want to make greater progress.”可推知，应是表扬可以让人开心并且想要取得更大进步。故选B。 9．C 【详解】句意：在维多利亚时代的英国,数千人来到城市在工厂工作。本题考查单位数词的表达。thousands of表示长千上万的，单位词要用复数；基数词+thousand几千的，单位数词不用复数，这里的several几个，相当于基数词，故选C。 10．B 【详解】句意：你回来的越快越好。本题考查固定句式。the adj./adv.比较级，the adj./adv.比较级，表示越…越…，选项A、C、D在形式上都有错误，故选B。 【点睛】比较级特殊句式中另一个常考的是：比较级+and+比较级：表示”越来越… 如：She becomes prettier and prettier。注意：加more构成比较级的部分双音节词和多音节词，在表示“越来越.…….时，其结构为：“more and more+形容词/副词原级”。 11．B 【详解】句意：——你愿意和我一起去野营吗？——我很想去。但我正忙着做作业。 短语would like to do sth．“想要做某事”；be busy doing sth．“忙于做某事”。所以答案选B。 12．B 【详解】句意：——你猜怎么着！农民们用数百万个玉米做了天安门广场的模型。——哇！我们身边总有很多有创意的人！ 考查形容词词义辨析。local当地的；creative有创意的；tiny极小的；humorous幽默的。根据“The farmers made Tian’anmen Square model with millions of corns.”可知，用玉米做天安门广场模型的农民们是有创意的人。用creative修饰限定people。故选B。 13．B 【详解】句意：——你哥哥年轻时是什么样子的？——他过去很安静，但是现在他很外向。 考查动词短语。was used to习惯……；used to过去常常；used by被……使用；was used for被用来做……。根据问句“What was your brother like when he was young?”可知，询问的是对方哥哥年轻时的样子，故应回答“过去常常”。故选B。 14．D 【详解】句意：这张邮票是我收藏当中最古老的。 本题考查形容词最高级。比较范围是in my collections三者及以上的比较，用最高级，所以A、B错误；the oldest 是指 最老的,最古老的；the eldest 是指 最年长的，故选D。 【点睛】初中英语中另一个比较级形式不同，表达意义不同的单词是far。far-farther-farthest（距离远）；far-further-furthest（程度深）。例如：go abroad for further study 去国外深造 15．B 【详解】句意：“我不知道怎样处理这个问题。”，考查疑问词+不定代词的用法，deal with“对付，处理”之意时同do with，只不过do为Vt，而deal为Vi，故与疑问词连用时，do with与what连用，而deal with则与howl连用，结合句意和语法，故选B。 16．D 【详解】由than确定使用比较级，排除A、C选项。由后半句中的“stop it”，可知现在情况不乐观，即“比以前更糟糕了”。 17．C 【详解】used to do sth.“曾经做某事（暗示现在已经不做了）”，be used to doing sth.“习惯做某事”。 18．D 【详解】much修饰比较级，确定使用better，指“感觉好多了”。 19．B 【详解】句意：我妈妈今天下午差点错过去武汉的火车。她一上车正好火车就开始出发了。 考查副词辨析。seldom很少；almost几乎、差点；perhaps大概；recently最近。根据“It started to leave right after she got on it.”她一上车正好火车就开始出发了，可知应该是“差点”错过火车，故选B。 20．D 【详解】句意：他赚了很多钱，变得非常富有。 考查形容词辨析。poor贫穷的；weak虚弱的；rapid迅速的；wealthy富有的、富裕的。根据前面He made a lot of money“他赚了很多钱”，可知此处应是“变得非常富有”，故选D。 21．C 22．A 23．A 24．C 25．A 26．D 27．D 28．B 29．C 30．B 【分析】这篇短文中的父亲主要是想让自己的孩子认识到贫穷生活，结果在孩子眼里却看到了另一番天地，得出了自己才是穷人的认识。这正好验证了那句话我们穷的只剩下钱了。 21．句意：他想告诉儿子他们的生活和村民的生活有什么不同。A．from从……；B．at在……；C．between在两者之间；D．into到……。根据上文He wanted to show his
