B [2015 .山東濰坊高三一模]

Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the US. The restaurants' dishes are not "fast food". They are known as "fast casual".

  Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald's has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014， McDonald's net in?come dropped by about $ 300 million. 丁he January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald's is struggling to get its customers back. Shake Shack is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $ 21 a share to just under $ 46 a share. Being part of the "fast casual" trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the US include Chipotle and Panera.

Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans' restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it's new. It is creative, it is something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald's. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms Riggs says, "It's growing by leaps and bounds ， because it meets consumers' needs. They know it's being prepared while they wait and that it's fresh, quality and good-tasting food at reasonable and affordable prices."

Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.

4.  What is the trouble with McDonald's?

 

A.     Its share goes down to $ 21.

B.     Shake Shack has taken its place.

C.     It's not popular with Americans.

5. We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans____________ .

 7.  Which of the following best describes fast casual?

 

A.    Fresh-made and tasty.

B.    High-quality and expensive.

C.    Farm-to-table and traditional.

  D.   Time-consuming and special.

B [文章大意]本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一種名叫Shake Shack的餐館。這種餐館不是快餐店，而是快捷休閑餐館，在這里人們有更多的選擇，而且可以吃到新鮮的食品。

5.A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第三句"It is creative, it is some?thing different and people like to try new things."可知，美國人喜歡嘗試新的東西。故選A項。

6. B 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線部分前的"…but it has developed fast."以及ffll線部分后的"…because it meets consumers' needs." 可知，畫線部分的意思是Shake Shack餐館發(fā)展得非�？�。故選B項。

Wix does that, and it does it for free. Another thing that makes Wix the most affordable option in creating a website is that you don't have to pay for a separate Web host―every page created on Wix is hosted on Wix,free of charge.

B [2015 •長春市普通高中高三質(zhì)置檢測〗

When I asked my mother-in-law to select which meals she'd like me to order from the home-delivery menu, she only chose the ones her husband would like. This goes way beyond politeness. She is actually feeling uncomfortable voicing what she wants. She developed the main symptom of Asker's Syn?drome that one's unable to ask for what one wants.

It's not just older women who have this problem. Asker's Syndrome can strike the young. I have single friends who won't ask a man out on a date because they fear being considered too " forward". My five-year-old daughter Violet is showing the early stage of Asker's Syndrome. She's learned that women don't ask, but rather drop hints. She'll say, "Remember last Sunday afternoon we went to the park?" rather than "Can we go to the park?"

Apart from women and girls' problematic relationship with appetite, food and dating, it's widely reported that women are less likely than men to ask for pay rises and pro?motions. Instead, they withdraw, hoping that somebody else will decide they are worthy and make them promoted.

No doubt, many women develop Asker's Syndrome as a defensive measure because they've been labelled as pushy or rude for simply asking for what they want. But in the long term, choosing not to express our desires doesn't serve us well.

It's time to cure ourselves and our girls of Asker's Syn?drome. I don't want to raise a future "burnt chop mother" who denies her wish for food, power and success and any?thing else. I insist that she ask for what she wants directly.

For women in our culture, asking is a skill that we need to learn and practise. And if we all do it* then women asking will become the norm rather than the exception.

5.The author's mother-in-law is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to_________ .

 

A.     introduce the old lady

B.     set an example

C.     talk about her illness

D.     lead in a topic

6.Which is TRUE about Asker's Syndrome according to the passage?

 

A.     It often causes problems with appetite and food.

B.     Older women develop more of its symptoms.

C.     More women suffer from it than men in their careers.

D.     It strikes only female victims as reported.

7.The author holds the view that ____________ .

 

A.     others decide whether we are worthy

B.     choosing not to ask is a protective measure

C.     asking for what is wanted is rude

D.     Asker's Syndrome should be cured

8.The passage is written to____________ .

 

A.     list symptoms of Asker's Syndrome

B.     encourage women to express their ideas

C.     explain the causes of refusing to ask

D.     suggest ways to ask for more
