Do you like to eat out?Do you like to eat quickly?Do you like inexpensive food?Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons .In the past, people usually went to diners(路边小餐馆)for these reasons .In fact ,many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.2?1?c?n?j?y
A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn't really a diner .It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food .These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs .In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside .However, they did not sit down .Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock .In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger .It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu .In addition diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s.They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.
Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King .However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there .It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.

能力题
【答案】B C B D A
【解析】
1. 解析:此题考查事实细节。文章并未交代diner(路边小吃店)与dinner(正餐)的不同,也未讲diner是个新词,排除A、C两项,a diner与a restaurant(饭馆、餐厅)规模有别,它实际上属于a small restaurant,并非a special restaurant,排除D项。关键句It wasn't really a diner表明first diner 并非真正意义上的diner,故加了引号。
2. 解析:此题考查事实细节。答案由关键句“These carts served late?night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late?night meal”所指明。
3. 解析:此题考查事实细节。第三段告诉我们“路旁小餐馆”的三种变化是:(1) They stayed open around the clock.(2)The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger.(3) Diners soon became permanent(永久的)buildings .They were no longer carts on wheels.
4. 解析:此题考查事实细节。文章说的是“三明治和咖啡的菜单变大了”,并未说“三明治变大了”,故D项错。
5. 解析:此题考查文章主旨。第一段的“In fact,many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons”以及最后一段的“the diner remains an American tradition,and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today”,都说明“去路边小餐馆吃饭”已是美国人的传统。
