单选题 In 1954, an American called Ray Kroc was selling milk machines. Most restaurants bought one or two of these machines, but one restaurant ordered eight of them. Kroc was surprised at this big order. He decided to visit the restaurant.
It was a small hamburger stand (汉堡包销售点). A group of young people in clean, white unisons(制服) were at work. They were happy, fast and polite. People kept coming to buy food. Kroc thought this was a very successful business. He looked up at the name over the door. It read, "McDonald's Hamburgers".
Kroc found out that two brothers owned the business. They were called Mac and Dick McDonald. He suggested that they should set up more restaurants, but the brothers were happy with their life, and they themselves did not want to. However, they let Kroc set up other restaurants for them. That was the start of the biggest fast food company. In 1955, Kroc opened his first McDonald's near Chicago. Four years later,the 100th McDonald's was opened. In 1961 Kroc bought all rights(权利) to McDonald's from Mac and Dick.By 1972, a new McDonald's was opened every day. By 1974, there were over 3000 McDonald's around the world.

单选题 Kroc decided to visit "McDonald's Hamburgers" because ______.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】细节题。短文第一段最后两句指出：Kroc was surprised at this big order．He decided to visit the restaurant(Kroc对这一大订单感到惊讶，于是决定去那家餐馆看看)。也就是说，正是因为那家餐馆订的milk machines比别的餐馆多，他才决定去看那家餐馆，而后文又指出那家餐馆就是Cortaid’s Hamburgers，因此本题答案就是[C]。

单选题 What does "this was a very successful business" mean?

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】词句理解题。这种题目考查的其实是对上下文意义逻辑的理解。回到原文，我们发现第二段首先简要描述了一下McDonald’s Hamburgers的情况，指出它虽然小，但其中工作的都是穿着干净自制服的年轻人，他们很快乐，干活快而且有礼貌，所以来买汉堡的人源源不断。然后指出Kroc看后觉得this was a very successful business。从字面上来看，句子的意思是“这是家很成功的企业”，但由前面的描述可以推知，它实际上强调的是这家小餐馆“经营得很好”，因此本题答案就是[A]。其余两项都不正确：[B]项的意思是“餐馆的所有员工都很忙碌”，这可能是实际情况，但与successful busirless并无必然联系；[C]指“麦当劳是一家有名的餐馆”，这与第二段第一句指出的情况以及第三段描述的麦当劳的发展过程不符。

单选题 McDonald's took its name from

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】细节题。短文第三段第一、二句指出：Kroc发现是两兄弟在经营这家企业，这两兄弟一个叫Mac McDonald，一个叫Dick McDonald。将店名与这两兄弟的名字对照即可知，这家餐馆是以这两兄弟的名字命名的，故答案是[B]。

单选题 When did Ray Kroc begin to own all the McDonald's?

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】细节题。对应的信息位于第三段倒数第二句：In 1961 Kroc blight all rights to McDonald’s from Mac and Dick(1961年Kroc从Mac和Dick兄弟手中购买了麦当劳的全部股权)，也就是说，Kroc在这一年开始拥有麦当劳全部股权。

单选题 When did Kroc open his 100th McDonald's?

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】细节题。第三段倒数第三、四句指出：In 1955，Kroc opened his nrst McDonald’s near Chieago．Four years later，the 100th MeDonald’s was opened(1955年，Kroc在芝加哥附近开了第一家麦当劳。四年后，第100家麦当劳开业了)，因此第100家麦当劳开业的年份就是1959年。
