Module 4 Music 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A BE PART OF A NEW APP! The Translated Menu $200-$400 per menu I have designed an app that is for restaurants where I take their menu and translate it into 15 different languages so their international guests can enjoy the dining experience without having to translate the menu themselves. They simply download (下载) the app from the restaurant’s website which has the menu translated for them in all the 15 languages. You don’t have to be fluent in any of the languages. Just be good at translating English into other languages with good grammar by whatever translation program you use. I have a large database in the languages I am using of cooking terms, fruit, vegetables etc. I will present it for you to use and as we go along it will only get larger and make your job much easier. There’ll be a lot of cutting and pasting (粘贴) and then adding grammar. It just has to be written nicely for a restaurant with the descriptions they provide for the dishes. The restaurants will have the same database so they can cut and paste to change their own menu items (项目) whenever they want. I hope to get 200 plus restaurants this year, so if you need some money and are reliable, honest and good at what I need, then I need you. A good sense of humour and attitude goes a long way as well. Come and be part of the new app and the experience. Pater Coyle petros13@ 21. What can we learn about this app A. It translates menus for guests. B. It offers a private eating experience. C.
