单选题 Whitney's is a restaurant and a gambling place. There is no restaurant or hotel in France, Italy, Germany, or Spain whose food can compare with Whitney's. At Whitney's there are no menus; you order what you wish from an endless variety of special foods. But on your first visit to Whitney's you often pay little attention to what you eat, for very soon, as the room begins to fill, you can hardly believe your eyes. At every table you soon recognize someone who is famous.

I found him a man square of jaw, cold of eyes, his face rather unexpressive — much what I expected. He was not a very communicative person. He told me his once experience, though.
"The other day a lady, who claimed herself Mrs. John Rossiter, came to my once." He said, "Before she said a word she began to cry; the tears came into her eyes and began to run down her cheeks, and she kept wiping them away with her handkerchief, trying all the way to control herself. I can't stand, but this rather impressed me."
"Her husband had lost thirty thousand dollars in the gambling room, she told me. I have known John Rossiter well enough to say 'Hello,' but not much more than that. Mrs. Rossiter explained that the great problem of her life had been her husband's gambling. It was a long story, I don't remember the details, but I told her that I agreed to give her back the money which her husband had lost."
As he spoke of this a light came into his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "The next morning I met John Rossiter. I asked him not to come here after his wife told me about his troubles. But he said he was not married./

单选题 Which of the following will best characterize the food at Whitney's?

单选题 All the following statements are true except that ______.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】细节题。文章第一段提到“But on your first visit to Whitney's you often pay little attention to what you eat, for very soon, as the room begins to fill, you can hardly believe your eyes.”，当你第一次来到惠特尼餐厅时，你不会注意到你吃什么，因为在熙熙攘攘的就餐人群中，你会发现很多名人，也就是说，你无法相信自己的眼睛是因为看到了很多名人，而不是看到了惠特尼餐厅的饭菜。因此，[B]正确。选项[A]，[C]和[D]的表述与文章第一段的内容一致，不应选择。

单选题 Mr. Whitney's appearance ______.

单选题 When the lady comes to his office and talks to him, Mr. Whitney believes ______.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】推理题。文章第四、第五段说：那个女人一走进惠特尼的办公室，没说话就开始哭，给他留下很深的印象，他向女人保证归还她所谓丈夫赌博输掉的钱，而且还在第二天见到罗斯特先生后要求他不要再来赌博了，也就是说，他认为那个女人就是罗斯特先生的夫人，因此，[A]正确。
