ABritain than in the USA BFrance than in Britain Cthe USA than in Britain or France DFrance than in the USA or Britain57Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because _.Athey have to keep up a good relation with themBthey have to compete with televisionCthey have to write about crime, sex and gossipDthey have to give factual news in an interesting way58Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference by _.Asupporting extremist groups from time to timeBinviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themCavoiding carrying articles about extremistsDprinting articles representing different political viewpoints59The passage is mainly about _.Athe characteristics of American newspapersBthe development of American newspapersCthe function of American newspapersDthe advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers BIn 1930 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, CaliforniaThey carefully chose a busy corner for their locationThey had run their businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in, but in their new operation they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers and sodasTo this minimal selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen centsCheese was another four centsTheir French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks sticking to their routineTheir new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunchPeople drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontimeThe self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be openedThey were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1945, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machinesHe quickly saw the great attraction of the brothers fast-food restaurant, and bought the right to franchise （给以特许） other copies of their restaurantsThe agreement struck included the right to copy the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches （拱门）Today McDonalds is literally a household nameIts names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburgers in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgersIn 1976, McDonalds had over $ 1 billion in total salesIts first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American history.60The popularity that McDonalds enjoys is largely due to _. Athe good location near a business centerBquick service and low cost Ca new shortened menuDa strict routine for preparing food61Mac and Dick McDonald had experience in managing all of the following business except _. Aa barbecue restaurant Ba drive-in restaurant Can ice-cream parlor （营业室） Da theater62It can be inferred from the passage that before the two brothers met Ray Kroc _.Atheir business was confirmed in one area and the profit was comparatively smallBthey didnt have machines to mix milkCtheir restaurants served only lunchDtheir business had been expanded all over the country63The passage suggests that _.Acreativity is an important element of successBRay Kroc spent long hours working in the first McDonaldsCSixty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurantsDCalifornia is the best place to get into business C“It was all his own idea”, says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract ” - a document stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couples four children, plus all household chores （杂务）Although he didnt even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident（He thought the experience would make a nice book.）After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up“I was beaten down, completely humbled （感到挫败）”, admits PetersThree weeks later he spoke to the local press （also part of the agreement）, stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”Bob and Pat were high school sweetheartsAfter they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through universitySince then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Palo Altos Cubberley High while Pat raised the children.Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberlaey“I had been around children so much,” she sighed, “I couldnt talk to a grown-up.” She continued to run the household, however, until Bob signed the contract, therefore, she decided to relax and enjoy it.Although Peter had consulted with his schools home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria （食堂）, his meals were sometimes a disaster“I tried to slip the butter Id forgotten under the eggs after they were frying,” he saysFor the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot - sometimes having Macdonalds hamburgers for lunch and dinner.As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made“I found an easier way - I shut the doors,” he saysSoon the children were wearing the same clothes for a week“I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean.”Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely sharing the child-raising and household tasks with PatThe tentative （暂定的） title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the children one day: 67 .64The couple signed the contract because _.APat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herselfBBob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good restCthey agreed that husband and wife should share household tasksDBob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book65What can we learn about Pat Peters?AShe was hard-working and selfless.BShe was pretty and kind-hearted.CShe was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.DShe did not love Bob any longer.66Which of the following is true according to the passage?ABob managed to keep the childrens clothes clean.BBob tried to cook good meals for his children.CBob frequently took the children out to eat because he was too busy at work.DBob taught the children to make their beds every day.67It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to _.Apay a certain amount of moneyBdo all the housework for yearsCsay sorry to his wifeDadmit publicly he was wrong about motherhood68Which of the following can be put at the end of the article to finish the news story?A“My experience of being a mother.”B“Im proud of you all, my dear!”C“Wait till your mother gets home!”D“Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone.” D“Kill it!” she cried.“Certainly not,” he said.“Why?
