Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London.It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants,Chinese supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s,it was a poor area and everything was very cheap.At the same time,the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs.They began arriving in London to look for work.They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English.As more Chinese arrived,more shops and businesses grew.Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers.The community grew,and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s,British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic(经济的) success to the area.Many families moved out of Chinatown,and there was more space for businesses.Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London’s Chinatown.During the Chinese New Year,the streets are filled with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets.For most of the year,though,Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants.The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文介绍了唐人街的历史、文化和影响力,及其在海外中国人生活中的重要性。
1.D　解析:细节理解题。根据“In the past centuries,overseas Chinese were cheap workers.They had jobs in farming,as cooks on ships or as harbour(港口) workers.”可知,以前大部分海外华人从事的是农民、厨师和港口工人这样的工作,而不是律师。故选D。
2.B　解析:词义猜测题。根据“Foreigners didn’t treat them well”可知,此处表示外国人对他们不好,他们大部分过着艰苦的生活。由此可推知miserable意为“艰苦的”,和hard意思相近。故选B。
3.C　解析:细节理解题。根据“Today,Chinatown is not only a place of interest in visitors’ eyes,but a place where people can get great food,view art and listen to Chinese music.”可知,在唐人街可以享用美食、欣赏艺术和聆听中国音乐,没有提到享受传统的西方音乐。故选C。
