Hightech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets. Microsoft Kinectenabled carts are currently under test.

Within a month doctors told him that he had colorectal cancer. After stock market hours on November 22nd, the fast-food firm said he had resigned; it would need a third boss in under a year. Yet when the market opened, its share price barely dipped then edged higher. After all, McDonalds had, again, shown how to act swiftly and decisively in appointing a new boss. Mr. Bell himself got the top job when Jim Cantalupo died of a heart attack hours before he was due to address a convention of McDonalds franchisees(获特许经营联营店者). Mr. Cantalupo was a McDonalds veteran brought out of retirement in January 2003 to help remodel the firm after sales began falling because of dirty restaurants, indifferent service and growing concern about junk food. He devised a recovery plan, backed by massive marketing, and promoted Mr. Bell to chief operating officer. When Mr. Cantalupo died, a rapidly convened(召集) board confirmed Mr. Bell, a 44-year-old Australian already widely seen as his heir apparent, in the top job. The convention got its promised chief executives address, from the firms first non-American leader.Yet within weeks executives had to think about what to do if Mr. Bell became too ill to continue. Perhaps Mr. Bell had the same thing on his mind: he usually introduced Jim Skinner, the 60-year-old vice-chairman, to visitors as the “steady hand at the wheel”. Now Mr. Skinner, an expert on the firms overseas operations, becomes chief executive, and Mike Roberts, head of its American operations, joins the board as chief operating officer.Is Mr. Roberts now the new heir apparent? Maybe. McDonalds has brought in supposedly healthier choices such as salads and toasted sandwiches worldwide and, instead of relying for most of its growth on opening new restaurants, has turned to upgrading its 31,000 existing ones. America has done best at this; under Mr. Roberts, like-for-like sales there were up by 7. 5% in October on a year earlier.The new teams task is to keep the revitalization plan on course, especially overseas, where some American brands are said to face political hostility from consumers. This is a big challenge. Is an in-house succession(交替、继承) the best way to tackle it? Mr. Skinner and Mr. Roberts are both company veterans, having joined in the 1970s. Some recent academic studies find that the planned succession of a new boss from within, such as Mr. Bell and now (arguably) Mr. Roberts, produces better results than looking hastily, or outside, for one. McDonalds smooth handling of its serial misfortunes at the top certainly seems to prove the point. Even so, everyone at McDonalds must be hoping that it will be a long time before the firm faces yet another such emergency.70. The main reason for the constant change at the top of McDonald is _.A. the constant change of its share priceB. the boards failure to reach an agreementC. the falling salesD. the physical problems of the chief executives71. The underlined phrase “heir apparent” (in Paragraph 2) in the article most probably means someone who _. A. has the same ideas, aims and style with a personB. has the same right to receive the family titleC. is appointed as an executive of a companyD. is likely to take over a persons position when that person leaves72. Which of the following was NOT a cause of the falling sales of McDonald?A. The change of the chief executive. B. Peoples concern about junk food.C. Dirty restaurant. D. Indifferent service.73. In terms of succession at the top, McDonald_. A. has had to made rather hasty decisions B. prefers to appoint a new boss from withinC. acts in a quick and unreasonable way D. surprises all the people with its decisions【参考答案】70-73 DDAB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 The next decade will witness the most important changes in the way we consume sport since the appearance of mass audience television in the 1950s. The development of media channels such as satellite and cable television, the internet and mobile telephones has broken the traditional free television model in every advanced economy. Well managed sports will remain valuable content and many will continue to grow. Forward thinking governing bodies will grasp the opportunity by repackaging their sports to adapt to the new broadcast landscape. Others will not.Brand marketers have seen the effectiveness of the traditional TV sport advertising fall over the last twenty years as audiences for free to air television fall year by year. The growth of sponsorship（赞助）as a marketing tool is one result. However, sport must compete for the sponsor dollar with other forms of content such as music, the arts and culture and cause-related marketing, each of which offers a powerful choice.At the same time some of sports biggest marketers, the soft drink, beer and fast food companies, will come under growing pressure from social and political pressure groups concerned about levels of obesity（肥胖）, over drinking and anti-social behavior that have become such a part of modern life.Companies such as McDonalds, Coca Cola and Budweiser face calls to cut its ties with sport, which will be popular over the next decade. Are we facing a ban on soft drink sponsorship similar to that of tobacco? Certainly, the removal of hundreds of millions of sponsorship dollars from the sports economy worldwide would have destructive influence. This report analyses the threat, seeking comparisons with the strategy employed by the tobacco abolitionists（废除主义者） a decade ago.1Which of the following does NOT affect traditional television model?ACable television.BThe internet.CMobile phones.DMass audience television2What can we infer from the second paragraph?ASponsorship leads to the fall of sport advertising.BSport cant match the arts.CMusic, the art and culture often act as sponsors in sports.DThe fall of advertising only happens to some brand marketers3If a child is overweight, which of the following may be responsible according to this passage?AHis parents.BGrowing sport sponsorshipCSome big food or drink companies.DAdvanced economy.4In he last paragraph, the author fears that Athe ban on tobacco will be abolished ten years later.Bthe sponsorship of soft drink companies will destruct sports economy.Cfood and drink companies will be popular.Dfast food and soft drink sponsorship will be banned like tobacco sooner or later.【参考答案】14、D A C D。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Redheaded birthday boy Jake Balcom, newly 11, walked into the principals office at Centennial Lane Elementary School in Ellicott City ready for his big surprise.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions (零排放的) vehicles,” but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. Its just that the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. Its as if the California Greens (加州绿党) are covering their eyes “If I cant see it, its not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may power your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When its a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.70. Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in paragraph 2?A. Be familiar with.B. Be curious about.C. Show their interest in.D. Fail to understand.71. What can we learn about the California Green from the idea “If I cant see it, its not happening”? A. They do not know those clean cars are likely coal-burning cars.B. They do believe the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean.C. They tend to hold that electricity is a nice part of energy.D. They tend to maintain that gasoline is a good way to run a vehicle.72. According to the passage, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more _.A. environmentally-friendlyB. expensive C. harmfulD. efficient73. We can get the conclusion from the passage that _.A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationB. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingC. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins【参考答案】6973DBCB
