A. 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。 In 1893, Milton attended the Chicago International Exposition, where he saw a display of German chocolatemaking implements. Fascinated by the equipment, he purchased it for his Lancaster candy factory and began producing chocolate, which he used for coating his caramels. By the next year, production had grown to include cocoa, sweet chocolate, and baking chocolate. The Hershey Chocolate pany was born in 1894 as a subsidiary(子公司) of the Lancaster Caramel Company. Six years later, Milton sold the caramel pany, but reserved the rights, and the equipment, to make chocolate. He believed that a large market of chocolate consumers was waiting for someone to produce reasonably priced candy. He was right. After the failure of his Philadelphia store, Milton headed for Denver, where he learned the art of making caramels(焦糖). Then in Denver, Milton once again attempted to open his own candymaking businesses, in Chicago, New Orleans, and New York City. Finally, in 1886, he went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he raised the money necessary to try again. This pany— the Lancaster Caramel Company—established Milton39。 Milton Hershey was born near the small village of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, in 1857. He only attended school through the fourth grade。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)第二段中的“Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job.”可知Brian在上班路上遇到了交通堵塞，就在他收到上班遲到的最后通牒后不久。故可知劃線部分單詞意思為努力忍??；抑制住，故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測。工作，用的是唯一能贏的工具——笑聲。 （2）考查推理判斷。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。我正在申請一份工作，據(jù)我所知，這份工作在35分鐘前才開始招聘。你好!他說。Humor is the most interesting way of solving problems.【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，上班族Brian因為遇到了交通阻塞上班遲到，而在此之前他已經(jīng)收到了遲到的最后通牒，因此這次很可能被辭退。It wasn39。Many people lack in a sense of humor.B.D.gave upB.chargeD.Brian often saved his job with humor.B.he was busy applying for a new job（2）What can we infer about humor?
