從給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)

(A、B、C和D)

中,

選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

(2013·山東，D)Sparrow

is

a

fast

food

chain

with

200

restaurants.

Some

years

ago,

the

group

to

which

Sparrow

belonged

was

taken

over

by

another

company.

Although

Sparrow

showed

no

sigh

of

declining,

the

chain

was

generally

in

an

unhealthy

state.

With

more

and

more

fastfood

concepts

reaching

the

market,

the

Sparrow

menu

had

to

struggle

for

attention.

And

to

make

matters

worse,

its

new

owner

had

no

plans

to

give

it

the

funds

it

required.

Sparrow

failed

to

grow

for

another

two

years,

until

a

new

CEO,

Carl

Pearson

decided

to

build

up

its

market

share.

He

did

a

survey,

which

showed

that

consumers

who

already

used

Sparrow

restaurants

were

extremely

positive

about

the

chain,

while

customers

of

other

fastfood

chains

were

unwilling

to

turn

away

from

them.

Sparrow

had

to

develop

a

new

promotional

campaign.Pearson

faced

a

battle

over

the

future

of

the

Sparrow

brand.

The

chain's

owner

now

favored

rebranding

Sparrow

as

Marcy's

restaurants.

Pearson

resisted,

arguing

for

an

advertising

campaign

designed

to

convince

customers

that

visits

to

Sparrow

restaurants

were

fun.

Such

an

attempt

to

establish

a

positive

relationship

between

a

company

and

the

general

public

was

unusual

for

that

time.

Pearson

strongly

believed

that

numbers

were

the

key

to

success,

rather

than

customer's

spending

power.

Finally,

the

owner

accepted

his

idea.

The

campaign

itself

changed

the

traditional

advertising

style

of

the

fastfood

industry.

The

TV

ads

of

Sparrow

focused

on

entertainment

and

featured

original

songs

performed

by

a

variety

of

stars.

Instead

of

showing

the

superiority

of

a

specific

product,

the

intention

was

to

put

Sparrow

in

the

hearts

of

potential

customers.

Pearson

also

made

other

decisions

which

he

believed

would

contribute

to

the

new

sparrow

image.

For

example,

he

offered

to

lower

the

rent

of

any

restaurants

which

achieved

a

certain

increase

in

their

turnover

(營(yíng)業(yè)額)．These

efforts

paid

off,

and

Sparrow

soon

became

one

of

the

most

successful

fastfood

chains

in

the

regions

where

it

operated.

文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文，描述了Sparrow迅速成為了經(jīng)營(yíng)地區(qū)最成功的快餐連鎖店的整個(gè)過(guò)程。16．Which

was

one

of

the

problems

Sparrow

faced

before

Pearson

became

CEO?

A．The

number

of

its

customers

was

declining.

B．Its

customers

found

the

food

unhealthy.

C．It

was

in

need

of

financial

support.D．Most

of

its

restaurants

were

closed.

答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段的最后一句“its

new

owner

had

no

plans

to

give

it

the

funds

it

required.”可知Sparrow缺乏的是資金。17．What

does

the

underlined

word

“them”

in

Paragraph

2

refer

to?

A．Customers

of

Sparrow

restaurants.

B．Sparrow

restaurants.

C．Customers

of

other

fastfood

chains.D．Other

fastfood

chains.

答案：D詞義猜測(cè)題。我們從畫(huà)線(xiàn)詞所在句“while

customers

of

other

fastfood

chains

were

unwilling

to

turn

away

from

them.”可知，這里的while表示對(duì)比，其他快餐店中的顧客不愿意離開(kāi)，這里是指從其他的快餐店離開(kāi)，故選D。18．For

what

purpose

did

Pearson

start

the

advertising

campaign?A．To

build

a

good

relationship

with

the

public.

B．To

stress

the

unusual

tradition

of

Sparrow.

C．To

learn

about

customers'

spending

power.

D．To

meet

the

challenge

from

Marcy's

restaurants.

答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第三段的“arguing

for

an

advertising

campaign

designed

to

convince

customers

that

visits

to

Sparrow

restaurants

were

fun”中可知，這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)役的目的是讓Sparrow餐廳與大眾搞好關(guān)系，故選A。19．The

TV

ads

of

Sparrow

________.A．changed

people's

views

on

pop

starsB．a(chǎn)mused

the

public

with

original

songsC．focused

on

the

superiority

of

its

productsD．influenced

the

eating

habits

of

the

audience

答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第四段的“the

TV

ads

of

Sparrow

focused

on

entertainment

and

featured

original

songs

performed

by

a

Instead

of

showing

the

superiority

of

a

specific

product,

the

intention

was

to

put

Sparrow

in

the

hearts

of

potential

customers.”可知，廣告歌曲為原創(chuàng)且目的是和大眾搞好關(guān)系，故選B。20．What

was

Pearson's

achievement

as

a

CEO?

A．He

managed

to

pay

off

Sparrow's

debts.

B．He

made

Sparrow

much

more

competitive.

C．He

helped

Sparrow

答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章最后一段的“These

efforts

paid

off,

and

Sparrow

soon

became

one

of

the

most

successful

fastfood

chains

in

the

regions

where

中,

選出最佳選項(xiàng)。(2013·西城區(qū)二模，A)Hi,

I'm

Michael

J.

Lindell,

Inventor,

Manufacturer,

and

President

of

My

Pillow

Corporation.

Years

ago,

like

you,

I

found

myself

extremely

frustrated

with

my

pillow

going

flat.

Most

pillows

are

designed

to

break

down.

I

would

wake

up

in

the

morning

with

a

sore

arm,

my

neck

would

hurt,

my

fingers

would

be

numb,

and

I

would

toss

and

turn

all

night

not

knowing

why.

I

tried

many

different

pillows

on

the

market

and

none

of

them

worked.

So,

I

started

to

research

pillows

and

study

sleep

disorders.

I

was

determined

to

create

the

world's

healthiest,

most

comfortable,

and

strongest

pillow.

My

Pillow

uses

our

unique,

patented

medical

fill

that

stays

cool,

corresponds

to

your

exact

individual

needs

regardless

of

sleep

position,

and

stays

healthy

for

your

full

10year

guarantee.

It

is

nonallergic,

and

you

can

wash

and

dry

it

as

easily

as

your

favorite

jeans.My

Pillow

is

not

available

in

stores.

I

have

spent

the

last

seven

years

selling

My

Pillow

facetoface

at

fairs,

expos

and

events.

Hundreds

of

experts

and

medical

doctors

carry

and

recommend

them

for

their

patients.

I

have

been

featured

on

medical

talk

shows

that

air

around

the

world.

I

have

sold

hundreds

of

thousands

of

pillows

and

have

received

great

gratitude

from

satisfied

customers

regarding

how

My

Pillow

has

changed

their

lives

and

provided

a

more

comfortable,

restful

sleep.And,

My

Pillow

comes

in

different

sizes

and

is

fit

for

your

size

and

sleeping

pattern.

So

you

can

be

assured

that

you

will

have

the

most

comfortable

pillow

for

you.I

truly

believe

it

is

the

best

pillow

in

the

world

and

that

if

everyone

had

one

and

got

better

sleep,

the

world

would

be

a

much

nicer

place.文章大意：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。作者介紹了自己研發(fā)的枕頭My

don't

從給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)

(A、B、C和D)

中,

選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

(2013·山東，D)Sparrow

is

a

fast

food

chain

with

200

restaurants.

Some

years

ago,

the

group

to

which

Sparrow

belonged

was

taken

over

by

another

company.

Although

Sparrow

showed

no

sigh

of

declining,

the

chain

was

generally

in

an

unhealthy

state.

With

more

and

more

fastfood

concepts

reaching

the

market,

the

Sparrow

menu

had

to

struggle

for

attention.

And

to

make

matters

worse,

its

new

owner

had

no

plans

to

give

it

the

funds

it

required.

Sparrow

failed

to

grow

for

another

two

years,

until

a

new

CEO,

Carl

Pearson

decided

to

build

up

its

market

share.

He

did

a

survey,

which

showed

that

consumers

who

already

used

Sparrow

restaurants

were

extremely

positive

about

the

chain,

while

customers

of

other

fastfood

chains

were

unwilling

to

turn

away

from

them.

Sparrow

had

to

develop

a

new

promotional

campaign.Pearson

faced

a

battle

over

the

future

of

the

Sparrow

brand.

The

chain's

owner

now

favored

rebranding

Sparrow

as

Marcy's

restaurants.

Pearson

resisted,

arguing

for

an

advertising

campaign

designed

to

convince

customers

that

visits

to

Sparrow

restaurants

were

fun.

Such

an

attempt

to

establish

a

positive

relationship

between

a

company

and

the

general

public

was

unusual

for

that

time.

Pearson

strongly

believed

that

numbers

were

the

key

to

success,

rather

than

customer's

spending

power.

Finally,

the

owner

accepted

his

idea.

The

campaign

itself

changed

the

traditional

advertising

style

of

the

fastfood

industry.

The

TV

ads

of

Sparrow

focused

on

entertainment

and

featured

original

songs

performed

by

a

variety

of

stars.

Instead

of

showing

the

superiority

of

a

specific

product,

the

intention

was

to

put

Sparrow

in

the

hearts

of

potential

customers.

Pearson

also

made

other

decisions

which

he

believed

would

contribute

to

the

new

sparrow

image.

For

example,

he

offered

to

lower

the

rent

of

any

restaurants

which

achieved

a

certain

increase

in

their

turnover

(營(yíng)業(yè)額)．These

efforts

paid

off,

and

Sparrow

soon

became

one

of

the

most

successful

fastfood

chains

in

the

regions

where

it

operated.

文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文，描述了Sparrow迅速成為了經(jīng)營(yíng)地區(qū)最成功的快餐連鎖店的整個(gè)過(guò)程。16．Which

was

one

of

the

problems

Sparrow

faced

before

Pearson

became

CEO?

A．The

number

of

its

customers

was

declining.

B．Its

customers

found

the

food

unhealthy.

C．It

was

in

need

of

financial

support.D．Most

of

its

restaurants

were

closed.

答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段的最后一句“its

new

owner

had

no

plans

to

give

it

the

funds

it

required.”可知Sparrow缺乏的是資金。17．What

does

the

underlined

word

“them”

in

Paragraph

2

refer

to?

A．Customers

of

Sparrow

restaurants.

B．Sparrow

restaurants.

C．Customers

of

other

fastfood

chains.D．Other

fastfood

chains.

答案：D詞義猜測(cè)題。我們從畫(huà)線(xiàn)詞所在句“while

customers

of

other

fastfood

chains

were

unwilling

to

turn

away

from

them.”可知，這里的while表示對(duì)比，其他快餐店中的顧客不愿意離開(kāi)，這里是指從其他的快餐店離開(kāi)，故選D。18．For

what

purpose

did

Pearson

start

the

advertising

campaign?A．To

build

a

good

relationship

with

the

public.

B．To

stress

the

unusual

tradition

of

Sparrow.

C．To

learn

about

customers'

spending

power.

D．To

meet

the

challenge

from

Marcy's

restaurants.

答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第三段的“arguing

for

an

advertising

campaign

designed

to

convince

customers

that

visits

to

Sparrow

restaurants

were

fun”中可知，這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)役的目的是讓Sparrow餐廳與大眾搞好關(guān)系，故選A。19．The

TV

ads

of

Sparrow

________.A．changed

people's

views

on

pop

starsB．a(chǎn)mused

the

public

with

original

songsC．focused

on

the

superiority

of

its

productsD．influenced

the

eating

habits

of

the

audience

答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第四段的“the

TV

ads

of

Sparrow

focused

on

entertainment

and

featured

original

songs

performed

by

a

variety

of

stars.

Instead

of

the

superiority

of

a

the

was

put

Sparrow

in

the

hearts

of

potential

customers.”可知，廣告歌曲為原創(chuàng)且目的是和大眾搞好關(guān)系，故選B。20．What

was

Pearson's

achievement

as

a

CEO?

A．He

managed

to

pay

off

Sparrow's

debts.

B．He

made

Sparrow

much

more

competitive.

C．He

helped

Sparrow

take

over

a

company.

D．He

答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章最后一段的“These

efforts

paid

off,

and

Sparrow

soon

became

one

of

the

most

successful

fastfood

chains

in

the

regions

where

it

operated.”可知，Pearson的努力獲得了回報(bào)，使得餐廳業(yè)績(jī)上升，變得更有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，故選B。題型2

I'm

Michael

J.

Lindell,

Inventor,

Manufacturer,

and

President

of

My

Pillow

Corporation.

Years

ago,

like

you,

I

found

myself

extremely

frustrated

with

my

pillow

going

flat.

Most

pillows

are

designed

to

break

down.

I

would

wake

up

in

the

morning

with

a

sore

arm,

my

neck

would

hurt,

my

fingers

would

be

numb,

and

I

would

toss

and

turn

all

night

not

knowing

why.

I

tried

many

different

pillows

on

the

market

and

none

of

them

worked.

So,

I

started

to

research

pillows

and

study

sleep

disorders.

I

was

determined

to

create

the

world's

healthiest,

most

comfortable,

and

strongest

pillow.

My

Pillow

uses

our

unique,

patented

medical

fill

that

stays

cool,

corresponds

to

your

exact

individual

needs

regardless

of

sleep

position,

and

stays

healthy

for

your

full

10year

guarantee.

It

is

nonallergic,

and

you

can

wash

and

dry

it

as

easily

as

your

favorite

jeans.My

Pillow

is

not

available

in

stores.

I

have

spent

the

last

seven

years

selling

My

Pillow

facetoface

at

fairs,

expos

and

events.

Hundreds

of

experts

and

medical

doctors

carry

and

recommend

them

for

their

patients.

I

have

been

featured

on

medical

talk

shows

that

air

around

the

world.

I

have

sold

hundreds

of

thousands

of

pillows

and

have

received

great

gratitude

from

satisfied

customers

regarding

how

My

Pillow

has

changed

their

lives

and

provided

a

more

comfortable,

restful

sleep.And,

My

Pillow

comes

in

different

sizes

and

is

fit

for

your

size

and

sleeping

pattern.

So

you

can

be

assured

that

you

will

have

the

most

comfortable

pillow

for

you.I

truly

believe

it

is

the

best

pillow

in

the

world

and

that

if

everyone

had

one

and

got

better

sleep,

the

would

be
