Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think a-bout 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. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, " We come from Hamburg. " One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called " hamburgers". Today "hamburgers" are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.
According to the story, ______.
选项
A、few Americans like hamburgers
B、hamburgers are made with beef
C、hamburgers are made with ham
D、hamburgers were first sold about a century ago
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。由第二段第三句可知,故事发生在大约100年前,从那时起就开始卖汉堡了。故选D。
