Question

【题目】

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant that seizes Western food？If so，do you remember what the menu looked like？Western restaurant menus are quite different from Chinese restaurant menus．But how are they different？

Most Western restaurant menus do not have as many p 【1】as Chinese ones do．In some fancy Western restaurants，the menus might not have any pictures at all．

But most Western menus show a list of ingredients for each dish．

If you order a burger，the menu might tell you that the burger has cheese，ketchup and mustard（芥末）．The menu can also tell you how the food is cooked﹣﹣﹣for example， w【2】it is fried or steamed．

Western restaurants use many different methods to design their menus and make them more a【3】．In fact，there is a whole industry called "menu engineering"，according to theBBC．Menu engineers are experts at designing menus．Their menus can i【4】sales and influence customers' thoughts．

A well﹣designed menu can encourage customers to eat certain dishes．It can e【5】make them believe that your restaurant's food is of higher quality，thought they might haven't eaten the food．

For example，using descriptive （描述性的）words s【6】"juicy "or" cheesy" can help dishes sell better．Instead of just writing "steak" in their menu，a restaurant might write "sizzling steak"．This makes the steak sound more delicious．

Also，it is k【7】 that people pay the most attention to items placed at the top of a page．

This is the best place for dishes that you want to promote．As you can see，menus are not just simple lists of food!

文章大意：你曾经在一家吃西餐的餐馆吃过吗？如果有，你还记得菜单是什么样子的吗？西餐厅的菜单和中餐馆的菜单很不一样，但它们有什么不同呢？ 本文讲述了中餐菜单和西餐菜单的区别。

【1】考查名词。根据首字母提示，结合语境推测句意是"大多数西方餐馆的菜单上的图片不如中国的多"，"图片"的英文是 picture，前面有many，后面名词用复数形式，所以答案是：pictures。

【2】考查介词。根据首字母提示，结合语境推测句意是"菜单还可以告诉你食物是如何煮熟的﹣﹣例如，它是油炸还是蒸熟"，"是…还是…"的英文是 whether…or…，所以答案是：whether。

【5】考查副词。根据首字母提示，结合语境推测句意是"它甚至可以让他们相信你的餐厅的食物质量更高，因为他们可能还没吃过"，"甚至"的英文是 even，副词修饰动词，所以答案是：even。
