18．Quiet，please．Your dinner will now be served．That is the message being sent to customers at a New York City restaurant．In the restaurant，all people are forbidden to talk during the meal．
Nicholas Nauman．head chef at Eat in Brooklyn，said that he was inspired by the tight-lipped consumption after spending some time in India，where Buddhist monks take their breakfast without exchanging words．
"It's just an opportunity to enjoy food in a way you might not have otherwise，"said the chef，noting that the sounds of forks on dishes and cooks in the kitchen provide some background noise to the experience．
The silent一dining experience，experts said，seems to fit with other attention一getting tricks that many restaurant owners and chefs often adopt in the generally known competitive restaurant business．At Moto，in Chicago，diners can eat the menu．In Paris，London and Moscow，restaurant-Boers are served at Dans le Noir，where they will have their meals without light．
"As a mother of two 15-year-old boys it is kind of a fantasy to go to do that，"Tanya Steel，editor-in-chief of Epicurious．com，said of the silent一dining experience at Eat．"But as someone who pays money to go out，I would feel like I'm in some kind of silent film；it would be incredibly difficult．"
At a recent evening at Eat，restaurant-goers didn't seem to mind the silent treatment as they ate their salads and soups．One polite customer walked out of the door to sneeze in order to avoid breaking the silence．Another could barely hold back a strong case of laughing．And one couple found ways to communicate with facial expressions，instead of words．
"It's a kind of experience，"said Eat owner Jordon Colon．"The silence speaks for itself．"

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了布魯克林區新的用餐規定，他要求食客安靜的用餐不許說話，盡管有人認為這個餐廳可能吸引某人，但不是全部，但餐廳的客人還是愿意遵守這個規定的．
解答 24．A．細節理解題．根據文章第一段"In the restaurant，all people are forbidden to talk during the meal"在餐廳里，所有人都不許吃飯時說話；可知布魯克林區吃的食客別要求安靜的用餐；故選A．
25．C．細節理解題．根據文章第二段"said that he was inspired by the tight-lipped consumption after spending some time in India，where Buddhist monks take their breakfast without exchanging words"他說他是受在印度守口如瓶的消費支出的啟發，佛教僧侶吃早餐時不能說話；故選C．
26．D．推理判斷題．根據文章第四段"As a mother of two 15-year-old boys it is kind of a fantasy to go to do that，But as someone who pays money to go out，I would feel like I'm in some kind of silent film；it would be incredibly difficult"對于一位兩個15歲男孩的母親這是一種很好的體驗，但是對于去消費的顧客，我會覺得我在一種無聲電影；這將是非常困難的；可知他認為這個餐廳可能吸引某人，但不是全部；故選D．
27．B．推理判斷題．根據文章最后一段"At a recent evening at Eat，restaurant-goers didn't seem to mind the silent treatment as they ate their salads and soups"在最近的一個晚上吃飯，餐廳的人似乎并不介意沉默對待他們吃他們的沙拉和湯；可知大多數客戶可以接受這種規定；故選B．
點評 考察學生的細節理解和推理判斷能力，做細節理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
