2017杭州下城区九下初三英语一模卷

In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso(浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.

However, that doesn?t mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks. 1. The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”. A. closed B. managed C. left D. sold 答案：B

解析：who ran Starbucks是修饰the three men的，所以必须找到与three men有关的句子。本段只有一句话提到除了Schultz的其他人，就是最后一句“the original Starbucks owners hires Schultz as the company?s head of marketing.”可知这三人是Starbucks的老板，所以是管理星巴克的，选B。

2. According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences? a. This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.

b. Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA. c. He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it. d. Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers. A. a-b-d-c B. c-a-b-d C. b-d-c-a D. d-c-a-b 答案：C

a. In 1983, Schultz learned something in Italy and brought the ideas back. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA.

根据上面的时间轴，可知故事发生的顺序是b-d-c-a。 3. Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas?

A. Because the coffee in these places was too expensive. B. Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same. C. Because people like to drink coffee at home with friends. D. Because there were too many coffee shops in one place. 答案：D

解析：从最后一段第二句“On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area.”可知答案选D。

第五段主要说Starbucks关掉部分店面的原因，总结出“coffee culture there did not match with the ?feel the same everywhere? environment”回到首段观点。（总） 所以结构图选C。

5. What is the best title for the passage? A. The history of Starbucks. B. The culture of Starbucks. C. The popularity of Starbucks. D. The environment of Starbucks. 答案：A

解析：结合上题分析，文章5段中有3段在说Starbucks的发展历史，第一段是作话题铺垫，最后一段总结Starbucks发展瓶颈，所以答案选A。 第二节

解析：由“Having a schedule will help to force you into completing tasks on time and actually getting more done in the process”可以得出有一个时刻表能够更好的完成任务。所以和F符合。
