It is known to us that English is not as old as Chinese, but it is widely used by most people all over the world. English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.
However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our daily life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?
About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t know how to use English properly. Having seen them eating round pieces of beef, the American asked what it was. The Germans didn’t understand the questions exactly, so they answered, "We come from Hamburg. " One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called "hamburgers". Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities. [br] Which statement is correct according to the passage?
选项
A、At first hamburgers was a kind of bread.
B、Few Americans like hamburgers.
C、Hamburgers are made of ham.
D、Hamburgers were first sold a century ago.
答案
D
解析
汉堡最初是德国的一个城市,故选项A(汉堡最初是一种面包)是错误的。文中并没有提到美国人喜不喜欢汉堡包,因此选项B(只有很少的美国人喜欢汉堡包)也是错误的。文中第二段提到汉堡包并不是由火腿做的,因此选项C(汉堡是用火腿做的)也是不正确的。第三段提到一百多年前美国人发明了汉堡包。故选项D(汉堡包在一百多年前第一次出售)为正确答案。故选D。
