Their growth opened another direct business operation—franchising(特许经营).‎ These operations have the same general pattern. The franchisor, the parent company, first establishes a successful retail(零售）business. As it expands, it sees a profit potential in offering others the right to open similar business under its name. The parent company’s methods and means of identification with consumers are included in this right. The parent company supplies skill, and may build and rent stores to franchisees. For these advantages the franchisee pays the franchisor a considerable fee. However, some of the advantages and disadvantages are different.‎ By extending a “proven” marketing method, a parent can profit in several ways. First, the franchisee’s purchase price gives the parent an immediate return on the plan. Then the sale of supplies to the franchisee provides a continuing source of profits. As new businesses are added and the company's reputation spreads, the value ‎ of the franchise increases and sales of franchises become easier. The snowballing effect can be dramatic. Such growth, too, brings into play the economies of scale(规模经济).Regional or national advertising that might be financially impossible for a franchisor with 20 franchises could be profitable for one with 40.‎ The parent, then, finds immediate gains from the opportunity to expand markets on the basis of reputation alone, without having to put up capital or take the risk of owning retail stores. Added to this advantage is a less obvious but material one. Skilled, responsible retail managers are rare. People who invest their capital in franchises, though, probably come closer to the ideal than do paid managers. In fact, the franchisee is an independent store operator working for the franchisor, but without an independent’s freedom to drop supplies at will. Of course the factory’s costs of selling supplies are less. But also certainly the franchisee .buying goods that have had broad consumer acceptance will not casually change supplies, even when the contract permits. If the hamburger is not what the customer expected, they may not return. Having paid for the goodwill, the franchisee won't thoughtlessly destroy it.‎ Franchising may give you the idea that as a franchisor, you need only relax in the rocking chair. Franchising, however, has problems to be solved.‎ ‎24. Franchising refers to a business operation in which a successful parent company .‎ A. sells name-brand goods to a private investor B. rents proven ideas and techniques for investment C. sells the right, the guidance to a business under its name D. takes no advertising responsibility for individual investors ‎25. The advantages of franchising to the parent company are all the following EXCEPT .‎ A. an immediate investment return B. the ownership of additional retail stores ‎ C. the profit from the sale of supplies D. the possibility of profitable advertising ‎26. The passage mainly tells the reader .‎ A. the advantages and disadvantages of franchising B. the benefits of franchising to the franchisor C. the unmatched economic growth in the 1960’s D. some regional and national business operation ‎27. What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?‎ A. More advantages of franchising. B. Risks of investment besides franchising C. The standard of consumer acceptance. D. Negative aspects related to franchising C Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.‎ One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.‎ During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You’re just the kind of person we need here. You’re being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I’m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.‎ That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided to come back to work today?”‎ This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right: she was being wasted in this job.‎ ‎“Look,” she said angrily, “if you don’t like the way I work» I don’t need to stay here, I’ll go where I’m appreciated! Good-bye!” She took up her things ‎ and stormed out of the office.‎ That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think?” ‎ ‎“Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”‎ ‎“Well, not exactly, but…”‎ Maria continued, “ Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms. .Kenny if you need one?”‎ ‎“A recommendation? .. .from Ms. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone.‎ ‎“Martha I hope you didn’t bum your bridges，” Maria said. “I think I would have handled it differently.”‎ ‎28. Martha is unhappy in her job because .‎ A. she has not advanced B. the work is not significant C. her supervisor is younger than she D. there is too much work with little payment ‎29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ A. At her supervisor’s criticism, Martha lost her temper.‎ B. Mr. Petri felt Martha was not valued in her present job.‎ C. Martha’s interview with the director was on her lunch hour.‎ D. Martha got the name of the director through her cousin. ‎ ‎30. What does Maria think of Martha's decision? ‎ A. Martha has handled the matter properly.‎ B. Martha shouldn’t have set the bridge on fire.‎ C. Martha should have found a new job before leaving.‎ D. Martha shouldn’t have lost her temper with her supervisor.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be ‎ impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. 31‎ A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. 32 The point of the slow reading club is to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment.‎ Slow readers, such as the Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. 33 And this is a fundamental skill in building relationships.‎ ‎34 Screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-bottom, left-to-right reading order we traditionally used, to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Because of the Internet, we may have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.‎ Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. 35 “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you’ll never lose your place.”‎ A. The point is to sit down and exchange ideas about a certain book.‎ B. Yet technology has made us less attentive readers.‎ C. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic.‎ D. But a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly.‎ E. They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour.‎ F. The Internet provides us with many chances, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian.‎ G. It also helps people understand others5 mental states and beliefs.‎ 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ My First Job I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula, Okla. 36 the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture.

Because of traffic jams, 57 can be difficult to travel across major Chinese cities. Even 58 (go) a few kilometers can take up to an hour. Now, new apps that help people use bikes are being used more and more across cities.‎ Cheng Li started using bike share services about six 59 (month) ago. He said now he was using a car less and the metro(地铁)60 . “After I get off the metro, I usually have to walk another kilometer or two, so I’ll grab a bike share and go. It is convenient.”‎ For many, the best part about cycling is how easy it is to do. 61, many of its bike share stations were not placed in convenient places. Now, it is easy to find a bike, and to register with 62 smart phone.‎ Meanwhile, there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their popularity. Some providers are trying to flood the streets 63 bikes to be ‎ more visible. Sometimes there are so many bikes 64 they completely block the sidewalks.‎ This has become a problem for city governments. It is not uncommon for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk.

College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit(追寻）of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life. Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.‎ Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night The funeral(葬礼）is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel(新闻短片）as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.‎ ‎“Jack, did you hear me?”‎ ‎“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.‎ ‎“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce(回忆）about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.‎ ‎“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said. ‎ ‎“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life," she said.‎ ‎“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things that he thought were important Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.‎ Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.‎ The night before he had to return home. Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture... Jack stopped suddenly.‎ ‎“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.‎ ‎“The box is gone,” he said.‎ ‎“What box?” Mom asked.‎ ‎“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.‎ It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.‎ ‎“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语己为你写好；‎ ‎4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Inside he found these words carved:‎ 浙江省宁波市余姚中学2018届高三上学期期中考试英语试题答案 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）‎ ‎1—5 BBCCC 6—10 BACAC 11 一15 ABCBA 16一20 BAABC 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）‎ ‎21—25 CDACB 26—30 BDADC 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎31—35 DEGBC 第三部分：语言运用 第一节：完形填空（共20个小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎36—40 DABCC 41—45 ABCDD 46—50ABACB 51—55 DDBCA 第二节：（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. have taken / have been taking 57. it 58. going 59. months 60. more 61.
