10.You can't go near the City Centre Mall in downtown Seattle without seeing the mermaid logo of a certain international coffee company.Today the company (25)has established(establish) 5,945 stores in the United States and 2,392 more overseas and in Canada.While it (26)may/might seem that there is already a Starbucks at every corner,Chairman Howard Schultz says the company is just getting started.The company plans to double the current number of domestic stores to nearly 12,000.To meet (27)this/that/the target,Sawbucks will start more stores at airports and supermarkets.Don't be fooled:the key to its success is not the taste of its coffee.(28)What has made them great is making sure that no one has a bad experience in their stores.
One way it intends to keep further its growth is to move customers through its line more quickly.While Starbucks executives love to talk about their store's gentle environment as a"third place"(29)besides home and work,it turns out that only 30 percent of customers actually use the tables and couches.Everyone else (30)grabs(grab) their coffee to go,(31)so that one third of new stores will now offer drive-through.
The company is also coming up with new ideas (32)to get (get) customers to dig deeper into their wallets.On each floor of Starbucks headquarters south of downtown Seattle,employees of the company tout(兜售)new plans for food and new drinks such as coffee liqueurs(咖啡酒)and this year's holiday offering:pumpkin spice lattes.

分析 文章大意:本文主要介绍了一个咖啡公司,该公司建立了很多连锁店,文章主要分析了该公司的发展.

解答 25.has established 考查动词时态.句意为,迄今为止,该公司已经成立了5945家店,因此填完成时has established.
26.may/might 考查情态动词.在一般现在时的肯定句中,主语it后面出现了原形seem,意味着学生们可以优先考虑填情态动词.本题说到了seem一词,有仿佛,似乎之意.文中说到仿佛世界上每个角落都是星巴克,但是后面公司说一切才刚开始,因此前面的仿佛似乎是一种猜测,表示可能,填may或might.
27.this/that/the 考查冠词,指示代词.指代前文所提的用定冠词或指示代词.
28.What 考查名词性从句.句意为,让公司取得成功的是保证顾客在店里心情好,这个句子明显看得出是从句做主语,从句中缺少主语,所以填What.
29.besides 考查介词.题目先把第三个舒适的环境先放在了前面,而把家和上班地方排除在后面.所以本题填besides.
30.grabs 考查动词时态主谓一致.主语是第三人称单数,所以用grabs.
31.so that 考查连词.句中出现了一个词叫drive-through.很多学生乍一看不知道什么意思,最后影响了答案填写.事实上,我们可以细想,这个词直译就是开车直接穿过去,也就是说车开到店门口就开过去了,因此可以理解为免下车,直接坐在车里取货.这样一来前后句表示目的关系.前句说很多顾客买完之后抓起东西就走,说明他们很赶时间,这也自然引出了后面提供免下车服务,填so that.
32.to get 考查非谓语动词.想出新点子是为了让顾客们掏更多的钱.所以用不定式表示目的.

点评 本篇语法填空题难度适中,题目很中规中矩,只要看懂文章就能保证非常高的正确率.注意句子中出现的各种语法要求,比如,时态,主谓一致,从句等.

17.You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk.Do you stop to help?In a study of by-standers,it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.
"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed."says a psychologist."The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help.In order to take action,you have to work against them."Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.
●Why should I be the one?I'm probably not the most competent person in this crowd.You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
●What if he doesn't really need my help?The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
●No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem.We can follow the people around us,but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction,force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,"says the psychologist."Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful.Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying,‘It looks like we should do something.'Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and,if not,to call for one.Once you take action,most people will follow you."

56.Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?B
A.I'm not the very person capable of setting the problenu.
B.It looks like we should do something.
C.It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.
D.He doesn't really need my help.
57.According to a study of by-standers,what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?C
A.They will call for help and then walk away.
B.They will stop and offer help.
C.They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.
D.They will laugh at him.
58.We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot ttouble,C.
A.we sbould call the ambulance as soon as we can.
B.we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.
C.we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.
D.we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
59.In order to offer others your timely help,you need toD.
A.ask others for help and call the police
B.get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C.go directly to the police station

Conservation International's Frank Hawkins explains,"The Masai have been living with wildlife for many generations and it has been a conflicting relationship in many ways.They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle.We're trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them."They had the Predator Compensation Fund founded in 2003.After much discussion,a group of Masai farmers agreed to protect lions.In turn,if lions or other predators kill their cattle,the Masai owner will be paid market value for the dead animals from the fund.
One man said that in the past,when a lion killed cattle,they killed it on the spot.And now,after the start of the program,the Masai see the lion population growing.Since 2003,only four lions have been killed here.

C.To protect lions only.
D.To protect the wildlife.

2.In 1801,Giuseppe Piazzi discovered a new object in the sky.He thought it was an undiscovered comet.After further observation,he realized that it behaved more like a small planet than a comet.Piazzi named it Ceres after the Sicillian goddess of grain.Ceres remains the largest known asteroids(小行星)in the sky.It means almost 600 miles(1,000 km) in diameter.By the end of the nineteenth century,several hundred other asteroids had been identified.
Tens of thousands of asteroids have since been discovered,with thousands more found each year.Asteroids are masses of rock and metal that orbit(绕轨道而行)the sun between Mars and Jupiter.They did not form into planets because the perturbations of Jupiter kept them moving too fast to join together.The total mass of all of the asteroids is less than the size of Earth's moon.
Some of the asteroids move in orbits outside the zone between Mars and Jupiter.Asteroids that come relatively close to Earth are known as near-Earth asteroids(NEAs).Scientists estimate that about 1,000 of these asteroids are 0.6 miles(1km) in diameter.An asteroid of this colliding(碰撞)with Earth would be disastrous.
Scientists have found two sites where giant asteroids struck Earth millions of years ago.One asteroid hit Antarctica about 250 million years ago.Another asteroid struck Mexico's Yucantan Peninsula around 65 million years ago,leaving a hole 112 miles(180km) wide and 1,000 yards (915m) deep.One theory blames the extinction of the dinosaurs on this asteroids's collision with Earth and the climate change that resulted from its impact.
Occasionally,small asteroids strike Earth.These cause little damage.Major collision,such as the one that may have killed the dinosaurs,occur rarely--perhaps only once every 100 million years.
Although the chance of an asteroid striking the planet anytime soon is small,scientists continue to study the orbits of asteroids in the sky.They pay particularly close attention to the asteroids whose paths are close to Earth,and have even landed a spacecraft on an NEA named Eros.Their work helps them learn about the formation of the solar system.It may even help them discover ways to avoid an asteroid disaster in the future.
 
 
66.Which of the following statement is NOT true about asteroids?C
A.Asteroids are composed of rock and metal.
B.Asteroids orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter.
C.Large near-Earth asteroids are sure to strike Earth.
D.A large asteroid colliding with Earth would cause a disaster.
67.The word"perturbations"(paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to"B".
A.Formation of rocks          
B.Disturbance of motion
C.Estimation of scientists       
D.Influences of size
68.What scientists have found implies thatB
A.two sites of Earth hit giant asteroids millions of years ago
B.Antarctica was once struck by an asteroid millions of years ago
C.one asteroid left a huge hole in Mexico 250 million years ago
D.the extinction of dinosaurs resulted in asteroid's collision with Earth
69.Which of the following events happened third according to the passage?D
A.Giuseppe Piazzi discovered a new object and name it Ceres.
B.Scientists had a spacecraft land on Eros to learn more about the solar system.
C.Asteroids orbiting the sun failed to form into planets.
D.Several hundred asteroids had been identified by the end of the nineteenth century.
