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 uniforms (制服) were at work.
They were happy, fast and polite. People kept on coming to buy food. Kroc
thought {{U}}this was a very successful business{{/U}}. 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 3,000 McDonald's around the world.
单选题
Kroc decided to visit "McDonald's Hamburgers" because ______
A. it was a clean restaurant and sold good food
B. the workers in the restaurant were fast and polite
C. it bought more milk machines from him than other restaurants
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 句意：Kroc决定去拜访“麦当劳的汉堡包”这个餐馆的原因。细节题。从文章第一段最后两句Kroc was surprised at this big order. He decided to visit the restaurant. “Kroc对这个大订单感到很吃惊，他决定要去拜访这家餐馆。”可见Kroc是因为这家餐馆比别人订购的机器要多才去拜访的。A项说是因为它是一家干净的、卖好食物的餐馆。B项说是因为餐馆里的工作人员动作麻利并讲礼貌。A和B都是去了餐馆以后发现的，不是原因。故C正确。
单选题
What does "this was a very successful business" mean?
A. The restaurant was very well managed.
B. All the restaurant workers were busy.
C. McDonald's was a famous restaurant.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 句意：“this was a very successful business(这是很成功的一笔生意)”是什么意思?语义推测题。从前后文可见，这是Kroc对这家餐馆的评价，他认为这家餐馆管理得非常成功。B项说餐馆里的工作人员都很忙，与题意无关。而C项说麦当劳是一家著名的餐馆，与实际不符，因为在Kroc刚刚拜访那家餐馆的时候，它并不出名。故A正确。
单选题
McDonald's took its name from
A. Ray Kroc
B. two brothers
C. a kind of food
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 句意：麦当劳的名字来源于哪里?细节推测题。文中第三段第一、二句说到Kroc found out that two brothers owned the business. They were called Mac and Dick McDonald. “Kroc发现这家店是由一对兄弟一起开的。他们名为Mac和Dick McDonald。”由此可见，这家餐馆的名字来源于这兄弟俩，而不是来自Ray Kroc或是一种食物。故B正确。
单选题
When did Ray Kroc begin to own all the McDonald's?
A. In 1955.
B. In 1961.
C. In 1974.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 句意：Ray Kroc是什么时候开始拥有全部的麦当劳的?细节题。从文章末段中的倒数第三句In 1961 Kroc bought all rights to McDonald's from Mac and Dick. “在1961年，Kroc从Mac和Dick兄弟俩那儿买下了所有的股权。”可见，Ray Kroc是1961年买下所有股权的。故B正确。
单选题
When did Kroc open his 100th McDonald's?
A. In 1955.
B. In 1959.
C. In 1961.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 句意：Kroc是什么时候开了他的第一百家麦当劳的?细节推测题。根据文章末段中的两句In 1955, Kroc opened his first McDonald's near Chicago. Four years later, the 100th McDonald's was opened. “在1955年，Kroc在芝加哥附近开办了他的第一家McDonald's。四年以后，第一百家McDonald's开业了。”可见，1955年Kroc开第一家麦当劳，然后四年以后也就是1959年他开了第一百家麦当劳。故B正确。
