【正文】 t, to make chocolate. He believed that a large market of chocolate consumers was waiting for someone to produce reasonably priced candy. He was right. Milton Hershey returned to the village where he had been born, in the heart of dairy country, and opened his chocolate manufacturing plant. With access to all the fresh milk he needed, he began producing the finest milk chocolate. The plant that opened in a small Pennsylvania village in 1905 is today the largest chocolate factory in the world. The sweets created at this facility are favorites around the world. The area where the factory is located is now known as Hershey, Pennsylvania. Within the first decades of its existence, the town of Hershey thrived, as did the chocolate business. A bank, a school, churches, a department store, even a park and a trolley system all appeared in short order。 the town soon even had a zoo. Today, a visit to the area reveals the Hershey Medical Center, Milton Hershey School, and Hershey39。s Chocolate World—a theme park where visitors are greeted by a giant Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.

Six years later, Milton sold the caramel pany, but reserved the rights, and the equipment, to make chocolate.”可知，1894年創(chuàng)立了子公司The Hershey Chocolate pany，六年后，也就是1900年，把焦糖公司給賣了，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Today, a visit to the area reveals the Hershey Medical Center, Milton Hershey School, and Hershey39。s Chocolate World—a theme park where visitors are greeted by a giant Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.”可知，如今，游客可以去參觀Hershey醫(yī)學(xué)中心，Milton Hershey學(xué)校，以及Hershey39。s Chocolate World主題公園，在這里，游客可以看到巨大的Reeses Peanut Butter Cup，故可知，主題公園里展出的是Hershey39。s Chocolate公司的產(chǎn)品，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。本文主要介紹Milton Hershey創(chuàng)辦Hershey39。s Chocolate的歷程以及該公司的發(fā)展目前狀況，故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru, came up with the creative idea of an eco173。bank which allows kids of all ages to bee economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment. Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world39。s first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank partners are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling panies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher173。than173。market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual39。s account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target. At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project, Jose recalls. They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom. The youngster39。s persistence paid off. Today, the eco173。bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20, 2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children39。s Climate Prize (CCP). Jose39。s eco173。bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing, a judge said. Hopefully, Jose39。s success will inspire more kids and adults to e up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, Together we can change the world, we just need an opportunity.（1）For what purpose was the eco173。bank created? A.To educate children how to spend their allowances.B.To help children break away from their parents.C.To raise children39。s awareness of money and environm
