Dinner,however,went to the other way.In the 16th century it was eaten at 11p.m.Years later,it had moved to the early afternoon,then to 5p.m.By 1850dinner time had reached 7p.m.Lunch is a recent idea.It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap(间隙)between breakfast and dinner.

分析 本文介绍了午餐形成的历史.自从1890年才有一日三餐的习俗,而在这之前他们只有早晚两餐,在16世纪时人们早餐只吃一点东西,后来变成一个正式的用餐,时间也到了上午11点或者下午一点,到1850年就餐时间又回到早上8点左右,而晚餐的时间也从下午11点变到下午5点,而两餐中间就出现了午餐.
解答 31.B.细节题.根据第一段It is surprising that eating three meals a day--breakfast,lunch and dinner--has been a custom only since 1890.Before this time,they only had two meals a day--breakfast and dinner可以知道自从1890年才有一日三餐的习俗,而在这之前他们只有早晚两餐,所以正确答案是B.译为"直到1890年他们才有午餐".
32.C.句义猜测题.根据上段和本段可以看出晚餐的演变方式和早餐不同,所以选择C 译为"晚餐不同于早餐".
33.A.主旨大意题.本文第一段介绍午餐出现的时间,二三段说午餐出现的过程,所以答案是A译为"午餐的历史".
34.D.推理判断题.根据本段介绍可以知道在1890 年之前人们一天吃两顿饭的,而后才有一日三餐,因此这两种方式人们都会适应,所以答案是D译为"人的身体可以适合一日两餐或三餐".
