7．Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U S．The restaurants 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 income dropped by about﹩300million．The 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 their 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﹩21a share to just under﹩46a share．Being part of the"fast casual"trend has helped Shake Shack．Other fast casual restaurants in the U．S．include Chipotle and Panera．
Bonnie Riggs，a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans'restaurant habits for almost 30years．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 61billion 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 they meet consumers'needs．They know it's being prepared while they wait，it's fresh，quality food，good tasting food at what they say are 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．

21．What is the trouble with McDonald's？D
A．Its share goes down to﹩21．           B．Shake Shack has taken its place．
C．It's not popular with Americans．     D．Its sales and income have dropped．
22．We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that AmericansA．
A．1ike to try something new              B．care only about the quality
C．don't like fast food any more         D．pay more restaurant visits to fast casual
23．What does the underlined phrase"by leaps and bounds"in Paragraph 3mean？B
A．Steadily．    B．Rapidly．    C．Slowly．   D．Normally．
24．Which of the following best describes fast casual？A
A．Fresh-made and tasty．    
B．High-quality and expensive．
C．Farm-to-table and traditional．
D．Time-consuming and special．

分析 本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了美國人的飲食習(xí)慣以及新升起的一種餐飲行業(yè)．美國人總是樂于嘗試新的東西，而新升起的casual food不僅快速，還能保證新鮮，質(zhì)量過關(guān)．雖然現(xiàn)在這種行業(yè)沒有麥當(dāng)勞那種快餐店受歡迎，但是這種行業(yè)的發(fā)展很迅速，相信不久后casual food就能成為大多數(shù)人的選擇．

解答 21-24 DABA
21題答案是D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段In the last quarter of 2014，McDonald's net income dropped by about$300 million和Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected可知在2014年的最后一個季度，麥當(dāng)勞遇到的困難時(shí)它的收益和銷售量都下降了，故選D．
22題答案是A．句意理解題．根據(jù)第三段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可知她說玫瑰人總是喜歡一些新的東西并且樂意去嘗試一些新的東西，故選A．
23題答案是B．推理判斷題．A．Steadily穩(wěn)定地； B．Rapidly迅速地；C．Slowly緩慢地； D．Normally正常地．根據(jù)后句because they meet consumers'needs．They know it's being prepared while they wait，it's fresh，quality food，good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices理解可知因?yàn)樗虾芏嗝绹说男枨�，非常新鮮，質(zhì)量很好，吃起來也很美味，由此可判斷此句中是指它發(fā)展得很迅速，故選B．
24題答案是A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)They know it's being prepared while they wait，it's fresh，quality food，good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices可知fast casual類食品很新鮮，很美味，而且價(jià)格也很低廉，故選A．

點(diǎn)評 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out．I called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful，grateful voice on the other end of the line，all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing．
It was，I should point out，after 10 p．m．，when the two younger children should have been in bed．a(chǎn)nd when the two older children should have been answering the phone．"I'll give him a lesson，"I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10：30 on a winter night I had no idea，but it was the only explanation I could come up with．
Finally，in desperation，I called his girlfriend's house．After what seemed like countless rings，his girlfriend answered．"Yes，"she said brightly，"He's right here．"
He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm，rational（理智的）self．After all，one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can't trust modern teenagers．"Where are the children？"I said．He said they were with him．They had done nothing wrong．My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's house just for ice cream and cake．This was too good to be believed．Well，it turns out that I shou ldn't have believed it．It was only part of the truth．
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents home，celebrating my birthday．My oldest son gave me the children's gifts．Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children，dressed in their bes t clothes，and wearing their most wonderful expressions．They are pictures to treasure a lifetime，all taken by the father of my son's girlfriend．

3．With the summer holiday just around the corner，it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations．Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket：
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts．During the peak season，the hotel and flight prices increase quickly，and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists．（36）D
（37）A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms．Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding．Stay with the locals．If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period，renting a small apartment is a good choice．
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new？（38）EDuring your family trip，try new food where the locals eat．This will not just save money，but also provide you with a new and different experience．For smaller meals and snacks，avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout．
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything．Clothes，travel goodies，souvenirs，etc．a(chǎn)re very expensive at these places．（39）F Bargain hard to get the best price．
Choose local transportation
（40）G Instead，take buses，railways or subways，which are always cheaper．If you are planning to stay for a while，you can consider renting a car．Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot．
A．Save on hotels．
B．Surf the Internet while traveling．
C．Therefore，avoid buying anything there．
D．So it's best to find out when the off-season starts．
E．Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs．
F．For this reason，you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains．
G．As a tourist，avoid taking taxis whenever possible，since they are expensive．

2．Today's workplace is unique in history．Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences．This difference of age，race，gender，and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company．
As a result，companies are looking for individuals who can manage a wide range of employees effectively．Increasingly，managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern．
This has been an important realization．The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace．What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations．
The first thing to realize，they say，is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence．That is，it is not an accident that young employees will be different from older employees．In fact，if employers do not pay attention to these differences，it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company．
Resentment （仇恨） between members of different generations，if not attended to，can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful．That individuals from different generations should come to view each other as if they were from different sides of warring countries should not be surprising．
It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances （聯(lián)盟），to come together for protection．Different generations represent different experiences in life，and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one's approaches to work．
If you were raised in a time of plenty，when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive，you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable．If，on the other hand，you were raised in a time of scarcity，you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough．You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves．Such optimism in the face of difficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them．It is difficult，in such circumstances，to achieve a happy，agreeable atmosphere in the workplace．

73．What most possibly makes it difficult to organize or run a companyA？
A．Employees are in different generations．
B．Employees are of different backgrounds．
C．Employees work in different styles．
D．Employees are in different races．
74．Employers should pay attention toB if they want to avoid anger between employees．
A．the different understanding of problems in the workplace
B．the different views on value of work and working methods
C．the different generations of employees in the workplace
D．the different ways of expressing anger in the company
75．The word"enmity"is closet in meaning toA．
A．hatred
B．sorrows
C．ignorance
D．forgiveness
76．What can be inferred from the passageB？
A．Employees in some companies regard each other as mere enemies．
B．Employees'attitudes towards life are related to the time when they grow up．
C．Employees who are raised in a time of scarcity tend to be angry with others．
D．Achieving a harmonious atmosphere in the workplace is the main task for employers．
77．What does the writer mainly talk about in the passageD？
A．Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each other．
B．It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendly way．
C．The weakness of human nature causes the anger between employees．
D．The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees．

12．A Dangerous Journey

  On July 2，1937，Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific．This was the longest and most dangerous part of their trip around the world．Earhart had trouble shortly after takeoff．The weather was stormy，so she had to fly at 3，000 meters （10，000 feet）．Going this high，the plane used gas quickly．
  After about twenty hours，Earhart and Noonan approached Howland Island．The island was only about 105 kilometers （65 miles） away，but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn't see it．Near Howland，a ship，the Itasca，was waiting．Earhart contacted the ship："Gas is low，"she said．The Itasca tried to maintain contact with her but got no response．Finally，the Itasca called for help．People searched for Earhart and Noonan for days．Despite the searchers'efforts，they found nothing．
Missing!
  What happened to Amelia Earhart？No one knows for sure．During the flight，she probably headed in the wrong direction because the sun was bright and it was hard to see．So she got lost； soon after，her plane ran out of gas，and she died at sea．Another idea is that she survived the plane crash，swam to an uninhabited （無人居住的） island，and later died there．Still others think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U．S．with a new identity．
  Although the first theory seems most likely，none of these ideas has been proven．Today，people are still looking into Earhart's and Noonan's disappearance．（Noonan's body has also never been found．） Whatever happened，Amelia probably died as she wished．"When I go，"she said，"I'd like best to go in my plane．"

46．Why was flying to Howland Island difficult？D
A．Earhart was sick after takeoff．
B．The sun was too bright and shining．
C．Their plane was damaged．
D．It was very far from New Guinea．
47．Which statement would the writer most probably agree with？A
A．Amelia's plane probably ran out of gas and she died at sea．
B．It is possible that Fred Noonan killed Amelia Earhart．
C．Amelia Earhart probably died on an island in the Pacific．
D．Fred Noonan might still be alive today．
48．What does the underlined word"go"in the last paragraph mean？C
A．fly                             
B．leave                      
C．die                          
D．travel．

16．In order to help customers to find what they want quickly，it's important to keep the thou-sands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly．This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos．
Each Main Street Movies store has three main sections：
（1）．New Releases Wall．
（2）．Film library．
（3）．Video Games．
New Releases Wall．A1most 70percent of movie rentals are new releases，and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store．The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits．When new titles come into the store，place them on this wall in alphabetical order．The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases．The New Releases Wall，including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves，holds about 350titles．
Film Library．The thousands of tides in the Film Library are organized into categories．The films within each category are displayed alphabetically．Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes：

Video Game．All the video games in Main Street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order．Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory（庫存），they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store．Therefore，video games are never displayed on the shelves．Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game．When a customer wants to rent a particular game，you can find the game from the locked case behind the counter．

21．Whom do you think this passage is most probably written for？D

A．Because they've been sold out．
B．Because they're in the storehouse．
C．Because they're in a locked case behind the counter．
D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory．
