8.Almost everyone agrees on the hot dog basics:a long bread roll with a hot sausage inside it.And that's what has led to a big question---is a hot dog a sandwich,or is it in a special category of its own?
"People have really strong opinions on both sides,"says Eric Mittenthal,president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC).In November,the council published an official announcement ruling that the hot dog is not a sandwich.It argues that the hot dog is too significant to be considered"just a sandwich."The council admits that the hot dog was once the"Frankfurter(法兰克福香肠)sandwich,"but says that people no longer use that name.Today,no one would call a hot dog eating contest a sandwich eating contest.
But others disagree.The U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) includes a sausage inside a bread roll in its sandwich category.But it also calls the food a"sandwich type product."In May,dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster said that the hot dog is a sandwich.TheMerrian-Webster's collegiate Dictionary,11the Edition,defines a sandwich as"two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between"or"one slice of bread covered with food."The announcement fueled a heated debate among hot dog fans.If hot dogs are sandwiches,where do you draw the line?Are burritos(玉米馅饼)sandwiches too?
This debate won't stop Americans from eating piles of hot dogs this summer.During peak hot dog season---from Memorial Day to Labor Day---Americans will eat about 7 billion of them.That's 818hot dogs consumed every second.People love hot dogs so much that in 2015,a hot dog emoji (a small image used in electronic communications that symbolizes something) was released so people can easily tweet or text an image of the famous food.This may come in handy soon,since July is National Hot Dog Month.

分析 本文是一篇社会文化类阅读,属于议论文,几乎每个人都同意热狗的基础标配:一个长的面包卷,里面有一个热的香肠.那是什么导致了一个大问题---一个热狗是一个三明治,还是属于自己的一个特殊类别?本文以此展开,主要讲述了有关热狗是否属于三明治的争议.

解答 32.B.细节理解题.根据"The council admits that the hot dog was once the"Frankfurter(法兰克福香肠)sandwich,"but says that people no longer use that name.Today,no one would call a hot dog eating contest a sandwich eating contest.可知,NHDSC认为热狗足够特别属于一个类别.故选B.
33.A.推理判断题.根据The announcement fueled a heated debate among hot dog fans.If hot dogs are sandwiches,where do you draw the line?Are burritos(玉米馅饼)sandwiches too?可以推测出,粉丝们认为字典里的定义太宽泛了.故选A.
34.C.推理判断题.根据People love hot dogs so much that in 2015,a hot dog emoji (a small image used in electronic communications that symbolizes something) was released so people can easily tweet or text an image of the famous food.可知,热狗表情符号的发布可以看出,热狗很受欢迎.故选C.
