Question

    It was a little before nine o'clock on Tuesday night. 1. “Do you need a second helping of pudding?"a waitress asked. Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. 2. .He had no preparation for it.

3.But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery（餐具）and proper glasses.

The restaurant is the latest initiative（初步行动）from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz.It was founded 54 years ago by Father Angel Garcia Rodriguez. Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. 4. “The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it's through bread or through work," said Father Angel. “ 5.People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It's just common sense."

A.By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar.

B.So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters?

C.They plan to extend the scheme and hopes it will attract famous chefs to come to cook.

D.It was the first time that he had been asked such a question.

E.The homeless are treated with respect at the restaurant.

【解析】

本文为一篇记叙文。文章记叙了安东尼奥在一家利用付费客户的早餐和午餐收入为无家可归者提供免费晚餐的慈善餐厅用餐的故事。

1.结合后文Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. 安东尼奥已经吃完一盘意大利面、一份炖鱼和一块蛋糕，他不能马上回答。这个问题对大多数用餐者来说可能很常见，但对他来说，这完全是个新奇的问题，因为他无家可归，而且是免费用餐。安东尼奥正在面临着已经吃饱了，可是如果走了又无家可归的两难境地。F. Antonio found himself facing a welcome dilemma. 安东尼奥发现自己面临一个受欢迎的两难境地。符合此处语境。故选F项。

2.结合前文“Do you need a second helping of pudding?" a waitress asked. “你需要再来一份布丁吗？”一位女服务员问道。及后文He had no preparation for it. 他没有准备。D. It was the first time that he had been asked such a question. 这是第一次有人问他这样的问题。与前文问题相照应，也与后文“没有准备好回答”相对应。故选D项。

3.结合后文But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery（餐具）and proper glasses. 但到了晚上，它就变成了一个开拓性的地方，像安东尼奥这样的无家可归者可以在摆满鲜花、金属餐具和玻璃杯的桌子上免费用餐。结合连词but可知，此处应该为描述与后文晚上相反的白天的酒店状态。A. By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar. 白天，罗宾汉餐厅坐落在马德里市中心附近的一条小街上，是一家典型的西班牙酒吧。与后文形成转折。故选A项。

4.结合前文Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. 它的商业模式非常简单，利用付费客户的早餐和午餐收入为无家可归者提供免费晚餐。G. Its aim, however, is a little ambitious.它的目标有些雄心勃勃。早餐和午餐收入是远不及晚餐的，因此用早餐和午餐的收入为无家可归者提供免费晚餐有些雄心勃勃。故选G项。

5.结合后文People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. 没有任何东西的人可以来餐馆吃饭，得到和其他人一样的待遇。B. So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters? 所以我们想，为什么不开一家有桌布、餐具和服务员的餐厅呢？此处的开餐馆与后文的来餐馆吃饭相对应。故选B项。
