‎ (建议用时:45分钟)‎ 阅读理解 ‎ (2019·济南针对性训练)The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples, Italy, but the word pizza is Greek in origin, derived from the Greek word pēktos meaning solid or clotted. The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. The first major innovation that led to flatbread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomatoes to their yeastbased flatbread, and so the pizza began.‎ While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza, it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.In fact, a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal(原型的) pizza, Pizza Margherita, was invented in 1890, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte asked the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.Of the three different pizzas he created, the Queen strongly preferred a pie wrapped in the colors of the Italian flag:red(tomato), green(basil), and white(mozzarella).Supposedly, this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita.‎ Later, the dish has become popular in many parts of the world:‎ ‎■The first pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, was opened in 1830 in Naples.‎ ‎■In North America, the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City.‎ ‎■The first Pizza Hut, the chain of pizza restaurants, appeared in the United States in 1958.‎ ‎■Nowadays, many varieties of pizza exist worldwide, along with several dish variants based upon pizza.‎ ‎【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了比萨的历史起源。‎ ‎1.What’s mainly talked about in the text?‎ A.Ways of making pizza.
