Question

In present­day China, we can find two types of fast food — western food and Chinese food.However, not until the recent decade has western fast food become popular in China.Before the first hamburger walked its way into the Chinese food market, we had little idea about such terms as hot dogs, pizza, potato chips, let alone KFC and McDonald’s.It is the reform and opening­up policy that has brought about the interflow of the food culture between China and the western countries.

Fast food, both Chinese food and western food, has several advantages.In the first place, fast food, as is characterized by its name, is fast.The food is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers.This saves people’s precious time, and consequently goes well with the tempo of life in modern society.

Secondly, it is very convenient.As we know, fast food restaurants are much the same as cafeterias.Customers_may_feel_free_to_help_themselves_to_any_variety_provided_and_eat_to_their_hearts’_content.

Thirdly, fast food restaurants are environmentally_comfortable.Clean dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people’s appetite to eat more.

The above mentioned advantages make fast food become rooted in almost all parts of the country and enjoy popularity among people.That’s also why nowadays Singapore fast food, Turkish fast food and India­Pakistan fast food have found their homes in China.

As every coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvantages such as lack of nutrition and dull taste.Nevertheless, these are minor points compared with its advantages.Since most people agree with fast food, it tends to grow more rapidly.

2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句In the first place, fast food, as is characterized by its name, is fast.可知快餐如其名，的确很快。根据第三句The food is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers.可知快餐的确是早已准备好的。根据第三段第一句Secondly, it is very convenient.可知快餐的确很方便。BCD三项在文章都被提及了，都是快餐的优点，A项说法过于绝对化，并不完全正确。故A项符合题目要求。

3.句意理解题。根据

Customers_may_feel_free_to_help_themselves_to_any_variety_provided_and_eat_to_their_hearts’_content.可知顾客可以自由地选择自己想要吃的东西，十分方便；本句指人们可以想吃什么就选什么。故C项为本句含义。
