So you thought the hamburger was the world’s most popular fast food? After all, McDonald’s Golden Arches span（跨越）the globe（全球）. But no, there is another truly universal fast food, the ultimate（极好的）fast food. It’s easy to make, easy to serve, much more varied than the hamburger, can be eaten with the hands and it’s delivered to your front door or served in fancy restaurants. It’s been one of America’s favourite foods for over 50 years. It is, of course, the pizza.
It’s kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was “invented”. It changed over the years, but one thing’s for certain—it’s been around for a very long time. The idea of using pieces of flat, round bread as plates came from the Greeks. They called them “plakuntos” and ate them with various simple toppings（配料）such as oil, garlic（大蒜）, onions and herbs. The Romans enjoyed eating something similar and called it “picea”. By about 1000 AD in the city of Naples, “picea” had become “pizza” and people were experimenting with more toppings: cheese, ham, anchovies and finally the tomato, brought to Italy from Mexico and Peru in the sixteenth century. Naples became the pizza capital of the world. In 1889, King UmbertoⅠand Queen Margherita heard about pizza and asked to try it. They invited pizza maker, Raffele Esposito, to make it for them. He decided to make the pizza like the Italian flag, so he used red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese and green basil leaves. The Queen loved it and the new pizza was named “Pizza Margherita” in her honour.
Pizza went to America with the Italians at the end of the nineteenth century. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 at 53 Spring Street, New York City, by Gennaro Lombardi. But the popularity of pizza really exploded when American soldiers returned from Italy after World WarⅡ and raved about(夸赞) “that great Italian dish”. Americans are now the greatest producers and consumers of pizza in the world.
【小题1】Which is the correct order of the changes of pizza?
| A．Plakuntos→pizza→picea | B．Pizza→plakuntos→picea |
| C．Picea→plakuntos→pizza | D．Plakuntos→picea→pizza |
| A．Because pizza first became popular in these countries. |
| B．Because pizza was invented in these countries. |
| C．Because one topping was brought to Italy from these countries. |
| D．Because people there are the greatest consumers of pizza. |
| A．There is a picture of a Pizza Margherita. | B．They have the same colours. |
| C．Both of them represent Italy. | D．They are both popular in Italy. |
| A．McDonald’s and Pizza | B．Global Pizza |
| C．Pizza in the United States | D．How to Make Pizza |

As the student volunteer for the Expo 2010 Shanghai, I feel very proudly since the World Expo will promote the exchange of different cultures and show the latest achievements of civilizations around the globe. And I have to say lots of bad behaviors still exist around us. For example, some people didn’t obey the traffic rule when crossing the road, and some even spit in public, which makes me feel disappointing. These bad behaviors will spoil the image of our country so it is high time that we solved this problems.

My Uncle Dave posed an interesting question to my wife and me when he came to visit us the other day. He asked: “What do you think the world will be like in 50 or 100 years, in terms of technology and society and so on?”
He says he asks many of the people he meets this question to see what their thoughts are. His point is that no one really knows. I mean, in 1945, could people have even imagined surfing the net or sending e-mails as we do? No way. And the pace of technological innovation(创新) is incredible (难以置信的). We’re on a more different curve than we used to be.
One thing I’m looking forward to is real software agents. There is so much information out there, but I want something that can help me find what I really want. For instance, in about ten years, I think, there will be no longer recorded music, and there will be some big databases from which you can download music onto your hard drive or whatever. At that point, there will be so much music to choose from and you’ll be able to sample things before you buy them. But the question will be how I find what I’m looking for and how I do find the music that might interest me. Or more generally, how do I find information that I want without spending all the time myself surfing the net? How do I find people who are like-minded (具有相似目的), with whom I might really want to communicate? I want to find those people but it’s hard to do. In the future I think that one will be able to build a community of like-minded people who live all over the globe. It’s going to be very interesting, I think.
1.No one really knows what the future will be like because _____.
|
A．there is too much information for us to choose from |
|
B．technological development is too fast |
|
C．people live in different countries |
|
D．no one is intelligent enough to answer such a question |
2.The function of the first paragraph is to _____.
|
A．explain the question given in this paragraph |
|
B．put forward the topic in this passage |
|
C．show Dave is a foolish man to ask such a question |
|
D．describe a picture about what the future will be like |
3.The writer is looking forward to some real software agents so as to _____.
|
A．earn a lot of money |
|
B．communicate with some like-minded people |
|
C．help find the correct information needed |
|
D．spare some time for surfing the Internet |
4.The best title of this passage should be _____.
|
A．What the Future Will Be Like |
|
B．Listen to Music Through the Internet |
|
C．Music and Software Development |
|
D．How to Live a Happy Life in the Future |
