their own 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 sodas. to this small selection they added one new idea: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. cheese was another four cents. their french fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity (一致性), for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks sticking to their routine. their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. people drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. the self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. they were content with this modest success until they met ray kroc.kroc was a salesman who met the mcdonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. he quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers fast-food restaurants and bought the right to run other copies of their restaurants. the agreement included the right to copy the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden gate.today mcdonalds is really a household name. in 1976, mcdonalds had over $ l billion in total sales. its first

than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple. the fruits that made it to the uk were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. then in 1996, the del monte gold pineapple produced in hawaii first hit our shelves. the new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. it was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. but the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. in no time, the del monte gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the worlds best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.in nutrition it was all good news too. this nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin c than the old green variety. nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. people were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. the new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the del monte gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, del monte tried to keep the market to itself. but other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. del monte turned to law for help, but failed. those companies argued successfully that del montes attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market28. we learn from the text that

companies dthe meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” there are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. they are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.actually, volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from india with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. she worked for two and a half weeks in one of mother teresas homes in calcutta. the following is her story. “i first heard about mother teresa in my high school; we watched a video about her work in india and all over the world. i was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after i graduated from high school, i too wanted to try her kind of work. so with two friends i flew to calcutta for a few weeks. i was asked to work in a home for sick people. i helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. i also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. i felt it was better to share with them than to think that i have helped them. to be honest, i dont think i was helping very much. it was then that i realized that i had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”32. according to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _.a. is willing to help those in need without payb. can afford to travel to different placesc. has a strong wish to be successful d. has made a big fortune in life33. tracy started her work

（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。meaning of happiness“are you happy?” i asked my brother, lan, one day,“yesnoit depends what you mean,” he said“then tell me,” i said, “when was the last time you think you were happy?”“april 1967,” he said,it served me right (我活该) for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through lifebut lans answer reminded me that when we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a top of pure delight, 36 37 i remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school playof course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreservedin the teenage years, the concept of happiness changes. 38 i can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going toi also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young manin adulthood the things that bring great joy birth, love, marriage also bring responsibility and the risk of losslove may not last; loved ones diefor adults, happiness is complex.my dictionary defines “happy” as “lucky” or “fortunate”. but i think a better definition of happiness is “the ability to enjoy something”. 39 its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good healthwhile happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as everhappiness isnt about what happens to us; its the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge 40 a. for a child, happiness has a magic quality.b. you never know what happiness means to adultsc. so we chase it and make it equal to wealth and success.d. and those peaks seem to get rarer, the older we get.e. the more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are.f. its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess.g. suddenly its conditional on such things as tears, love, and popularity.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
