2.If you are not any kind of a longtime A-list New Yorker celebrity like Woody Allen,chances are that you have never experienced,and will never experience-a meal in a legendary(神奇) Italian-American restaurant called Rao's.Rao's,the East Harlem restaurant with a history of more than l00 years,is simply the toughest restaurant to get a reservation in the US,if not the world.Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain,often ranked the world's top restaurant,would sell out the second phone lines opened.But in the case of Rao's,the phone lines never open.
There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant,and each is spoken for,semi-permanently,as regulars have had their reservations for years,and when they can't use them,they often gift them to friends.The place is so small that the owners rarely have the flexibility to do favors even for people they know.
Since it is always busy,there has never been a need for publicity.The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago.It was already tough to get a table at Rao's but reservations have been non-existent ever sincce the magic review.
According to a critic who is"very,very lucky to have dined at Rao's a few times,"the experience rivals(堪比)the tasty food.There are no menus at Rao's,and one of the owners will pull up a chair and run through the massive list of options,allowing people to have diner by mixing and matching nearly any ingredient(原料)with any classical Italian style of cooking.The place doesn't take credit cards,isn't open on weekends or for 1unch,and"at some point during your meal the one-room restaurant will almost unavoidably break out in song."It is truly one of a kind,"the critic wrote.

分析 本文文化生活类说明文,文中介绍了Rao's是美国最难预定的餐馆.这家餐馆有100多年的历史;餐馆只有十二张桌子,餐馆总是很忙,不需要宣传,因为常客已经预定多年,所以每个座位都是半固定的;大家以能在这家餐馆订到桌子而感到荣幸,被评论家认为是独一无二的,这里的经历和食物一样令人难忘.
解答 61.D.主旨大意题.本文围绕餐馆Rao's,介绍餐馆的历史、环境、经营状况和评论家对它的相关评论展开,因此答案选D.
62.B.细节理解题根据第二段提到Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain,often ranked the world's top restaurant,would sell out the second phone lines opened.But in the case of Rao's,the phone lines never open西班牙的这个餐厅是世界顶级的餐厅,当热线一开通后就会售罄,但这个Rao's 餐厅根据不会有热线预定,说明其受欢迎的程度,故选B项.
63.A.细节理解题.根据第四段提到Since it is always busy,there has never been a need for publicity.The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago既然它很繁忙,从来没有必要宣传;最后一次评论是35年前来自纽约时报;说明他的独一无二性与吸引力,故选A项.
64.C.细节理解题.根据第三段提到There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant,and each is spoken for,semi-permanently,as regulars have had their reservations for years,and when they can't use them,they often gift them to friends(这个餐馆只有十二个桌子,都是口头传诵的,半固定的;因为顾客们已经预定多年,当他们不用时,会作为礼物的形式送给朋友),由此判断餐馆小,座位少,很多几乎是半固定,因此很难到这家餐馆就餐,故选C项.
