Have you ever eaten at a restaurant that serves Western food? If so, do you remember what the menu looked like? Western restaurant menus are quite different from Chinese restaurant menus. But【1】 are they different?

Most Western restaurant menus do not have as many【2】as Chinese ones do. In some expensive Western restaurants, the menus might not have any pictures at all.

But most Western menus show a list of ingredients (原料)for each dish. If you order a hamburger, the menu might tell you that the hamburger has cheese, mustard (芥末) and so on. The menu can also tell you how the food is 【3】—for example, whether it is fried(油炸的) or steamed(蒸).

Western restaurants use many different methods to design their menus and make them attract more people. In fact, there is a whole industry called menu engineering, according to the BBC. Menu engineers are experts (專家) at designing menus. Their menus can increase sales and【4】 customers’ thoughts (想法).

A well-designed menu can encourage customers to eat certain dishes. It can【5】make them believe that your restaurant's food is of higher quality (質(zhì)量), even if they haven't eaten the food yet.

For example, using descriptive (描述性的) words like "juicy"" cheesy" can help dishes sell better. Instead of just writing “steak(牛排)” in their menu, a restaurant might write “sizzling(滋滋作響的) steak”. This makes the steak seem more【6】.

As you can see, menus are not just simple lists of food.

【解析】

本文講述了中餐菜單和西餐菜單的區(qū)別，以及西餐菜單的設(shè)計。

【1】句意：但它們有什么不同？

different為形容詞，所以用疑問副詞how，故答案為how。

【2】句意：大多數(shù)西餐廳菜單沒有中國菜單那么多的圖片。

根據(jù)下文“In some expensive Western restaurants, the menus might not have any pictures at all. ”“在一些昂貴的西餐廳，菜單可能根本沒有任何圖片�！笨芍�大多數(shù)西餐廳菜單沒有中國菜單那么多的圖片。所以空處意思為“圖片picture”，as many____2____as，“和……一樣多”，many后用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式pictures，故答案為pictures。

【3】句意：菜單還可以告訴你食物是如何烹制的——例如，它是油炸的還是蒸的。

根據(jù)下文“whether it is fried(油炸的) or steamed(蒸).”可知在說烹制的方法，所以用cook烹制，the food與cook是被動關(guān)系，所以用被動語態(tài)be done，cook的過去分詞為cooked，故答案為cooked。

【4】句意：他們的菜單可以增加銷售和影響客戶的想法。

根據(jù)上文“Western restaurants use many different methods to design their menus and make them attract more people. ”“西餐廳使用許多不同的方法來設(shè)計他們的菜單，并使他們吸引更多的人�！笨芍�他們的菜單會影響客戶的想法，所以用動詞influence影響，情態(tài)動詞can后用動詞原形，故答案為influence。

【5】句意：它甚至?xí)�使他們相信你餐廳的食物質(zhì)量更高，即使他們還沒有吃過。

根據(jù)下文“even if they haven't eaten the food yet. ”“即使他們還沒有吃過”，可知前句意思為：甚至?xí)�使他們相信你餐廳的食物質(zhì)量更高，可知用even甚至，故答案為even。

【6】句意：這讓牛排看起來更加美味可口。

根據(jù)上文“sizzling(滋滋作響的) steak”可知這樣寫會讓牛排看起來更加美味可口，更加美味more delicious，故答案為delicious。
