Passage 2

According to one account, the hamburger was first sold at the Erie County Fair in Hamburg,New York, in 1885, by brothers Frank and Charles Menches. The two Ohio brothers had arrived onthe grounds of the fair too late to get a supply of chopped pork for their sandwich concession. Thebutcher sold them beef instead, and after some experimentationthey formulated a sandwich, which they named after theBuffalo, New York, suburb where they were doing business.

Hamburg′s claim to be the site of the first hamburger is,disputed by the town of Seymour, Wisconsin, where a mannamed Charles Nagreen is claimed to have served hamburgersandwiches in 1885.

Another story about the origins of the ubiquitous burger states that in the late 1800′s FletcherDavis, a potter in Athens, Texas, wasn′t selling enough pottery. Therefore he opened a lunchcounter. His specialty A ground-beef patty served between slices of home-made bread. In 1904Davis went to the World′ s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, with his recipe, which was, of course, a big hit.

At the Fair the ground beef sandwich was deemed the hamburger, because in Hamburg, Germany,ground beef patties were popular, though the patties there are more like meat loaf and lack a bun. (Itis believed that 19th-century German sailors learned about eating raw shredded beef, "SteakTartare," in the Baltic Provinces. A German cook eventually had the idea of cooking the Tartaremixture.)

Fletcher Davis is also credited with serving fried potato strips at the World′s Fair. A friend inPads, Texas, had given him the idea, but a reporter thought that Davis said "Paris, France," andthose potatoes are forevermore "French Fries."

Another contender in the "hamburger invention" contest is Louie′ s Lunch, a Yale off-campuseatery. This New Haven, Connecticut, site is said to have first offered the burger in 1895.

The commercial bun on which hamburgers are now served was created by diner operatorWalter Anderson of Wichita, Kansas, who also invented the modern grill (both events around 1916)and then established the chain of White Castle hamburger restaurants.

Lionel Clark Sternberger, later proprietor of the Rite Spot steakhouse in Los Angeles,experimentally tossed a slice of cheese on a hamburger he was cooking at his father′s short-ordershop in Pasadena, California, in 1924, thus originating the cheeseburger.

The word"cheeseburger" was patented by Louis Ballast in 1944. Ballast grilled a slice ofcheese onto burgers at his Denver, Colorado, drive-in.

Well, you know the rest--McDonald′s, Burger King, Wendy′ s, White Castle, etc.—burgerseverywhere. Some good, some so-so. But certainly an all-American favorite. A "classic."

Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word"ubiquitous" inPARAGRAPH THREE

  • A.Deliciously made
  • B.Easily found
  • C.Commonly mentioned
  • D.Hotly disputed
查看答案 纠错
答案: B
本题解析:

词义题。考查ubiquitous的含义。根据第三段开头“Another storyaboutthe origins of"’,第五段开头“Anothercontenderinthe‘hamburgerinvention’contest”可知本文讲的是汉堡包的发明之争,而最后一段Well,you know the rest…burgers everywhere.表现了作者对汉堡包的态度——它无处不在,因此推断该词意为“容易被发现的”,选B。A项“制作可口的”,C项“共同提到的”,D项“争议激烈的”,均不合适。

Passage 2

The common cold is the world′ s most widespread illness, which is plague that flesh receives.

The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are causedby viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly orindirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expectthe Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorershave reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from theoutside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet,showed no increased tendency to catch colds.

In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked andstarving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit inEngland, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts ofbeing cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits,allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Somewore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of thevolunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in thewinter Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanationoffered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at othertimes, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin,but all they do is relieve the symptoms.

The passage mainly discusses __________.

  • A.the experiments on the common cold
  • B.the cures about the common cold
  • C.why and how people catch colds
  • D.the continued spread of common colds
