58.A 词义猜测题。根据该句中“…they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready for dessert”可知,他们没有感觉更饱,想要再吃一点甜点;据此可以判断,划线词表示“他们没有意识到比平时吃得多”,故选A项。
59.A 细节理解题。根据第四段第三、四句“One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round: put on some Mozart (莫扎特). When classical, rather than pop, music was playing, diners spent more.”可知, 在餐馆播放古典音乐能延长顾客在餐馆的时间,从而促进餐馆赢得更多的利润,故选A项。
