1.1.What happened to Michino-eki Yamada after it introduced the oyster ice cream?

A It lost many regular customers.

B It became famous on the Internet.

C It stopped selling other foods.

D It raised the price of all desserts.

解析:选B。B 细节理解题。文章第一段第二句明确提到 “This Japanese roadside station suddenly became an online hit”,即它突然在网络上走红,这与选项B的描述完全一致,因此选择B。文章并未提及它失去了老顾客、停止销售其他食品或提高了所有甜品的价格,因此A、C、D选项均无依据。故选B。

2.2. What is the correct order of ingredients used in this dessert from bottom to top?

A Oysters → soy sauce → soft serve.

B Soy sauce → oysters → soft serve.

C Soft serve → oysters → soy sauce.

D Soft serve → soy sauce → oysters.

解析:选C。C 细节理解题。文章第二段清晰地描述了制作过程:“It uses thick milk soft serve as the base. Then fresh oysters...are placed on top, followed by a thin layer of special soy sauce.” 这意味着软冰淇淋在最底部作基底,之上是牡蛎,最顶层是酱油。因此从下到上的顺序是 Soft serve → oysters → soy sauce,对应C选项。其他选项的顺序都与原文描述不符。故选C。

3.3. What did viewers think of the dessert at first?

A Quite cheap.

B Too traditional.

C Hard to believe.

D Very delicious.

解析:选C。C观点态度题。文章第三段提到,随着照片和视频的传播,“people became more and more astonished” 以及 “Plenty of viewers found the treat so unbelievable that they guessed it was designed by AI”。这表明他们最初的反应是震惊和难以置信,这与选项C“Hard to believe” 完全吻合。选项A(很便宜)和D(很美味)可能是一些人的后续感受,但不是最初的看法;选项B(太传统)则与事实完全相反。故选C。

4.4. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?

A It is cheap.

B It tastes bad.

C It sells well.

D It lasts long.

解析:选A。A句意理解题。划线句子 “It won’t burn a hole in your pocket” 位于文章结尾。前文具体说明了这款甜点的价格仅为600日元(约3.7美元),并说“you can easily afford it”(你很容易就能买得起)。从“不会在你的口袋里烧个洞”这一形象的比喻可以推断,其含义是价格不贵,不会造成经济负担。因此,它的意思是“很便宜”,对应A选项。B和D选项的意思在上下文中找不到任何支持,C选项(卖得好)虽然可能符合事实,但并非这个句子的含义。故选 A。

5.5. What is the main idea of the passage?

A A popular strange ice cream.

B Ways to make seafood snacks.

C Online food comments.

D Prices of Japanese desserts.

解析:选A。A主旨大意题。文章开篇引出牡蛎冰淇淋这一奇特组合,第二段介绍其独特配料,第三段描述它引发的网络轰动和人们难以置信的反应,最后一段说明其亲民的价格。全文所有内容都紧密围绕“牡蛎冰淇淋”这一核心对象展开,介绍它如何因其古怪而流行起来。因此,文章的主旨是介绍一种流行的奇怪冰淇淋,即A选项。B选项范围过大,文章只讲了这一种特定小吃;C选项只概括了第三段的内容;D选项更是只涉及最后一段的价格信息,均无法概括全文。故选 A。
