問題詳情:
Michelin inspectors, the super secret spies of the restaurant industry, are the anonymous(匿名的) keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They’ve been writing anonymous reports of restaurants for over 100 years.
“We say it’s a little like the CIA,” said inspector “M” with a laugh. She asked that her identity not be revealed. “My whole life is staying under the radar, staying away from cameras, using fake names, trying to sneak(偷偷地走) in and out of restaurants quietly.”
Along with their boss, Jean Luc Naret, the director of the Michelin Guide, about 90 inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the culinary(烹飪的) equivalent of an Oscar, a Nobel Prize and Megamillions jackpot all at once. The Michelin Guide covers 23 countries, and out of the 45,000 rated restaurants, less than 100 have the top rating — only nine American restaurants carry three stars.
If the name “Michelin” brings the tires (輪胎) on your car to mind, you’re not too far off. The Michelin rating began in France in 1900 as a marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought their customers would burn more rubber (橡膠) if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.
Inspector “M” admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. “Most of the time we dine alone,” she said. “It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and the ambience(氣氛) and capture the entire experience.” To cover their tracks, “M” said sometimes two inspectors will dine together and write two separate papers. It’s better than saying “table for one”, right?
“When you’re really, really into food and very passionate about food, everything else that’s going on around you isn’t so important,” she said.
32. The underlined words “under the radar” in Paragraph 2 mean ______.
A. living in danger B. trying to be unnoticed
C. being the focus of the media D. making programs on the radio
33. The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to ______.
A. sell more tires of a certain brand
B. bring more convenience to drivers
C. make people familiar with “Michelin”
D. open more hotels and restaurants
34. Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can ______.
A. cut the expense on the food
B. protect their identities
C. save trouble by sharing a paper
D. talk about the food over the meal
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. M’s experience as a CIA
B. The legend of Michelin brothers
C. Michelin inspectors: food industry spies
D. Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry
