问题     In 1954, an American called Ray Kroc was selling milk machines. Most restaurants bought one or two of these machines, but one restaurant ordered eight of them. Kroc was surprised at this big order. He decided to visit the restaurant.
    It was a small hamburger stand (汉堡包销售点). A group of young people in clean, white unisons(制服) were at work. They were happy, fast and polite. People kept coming to buy food. Kroc thought this was a very successful business. He looked up at the name over the door. It read, "McDonald’s Hamburgers".
    Kroc found out that two brothers owned the business. They were called Mac and Dick McDonald. He suggested that they should set up more restaurants, but the brothers were happy with their life, and they themselves did not want to. However, they let Kroc set up other restaurants for them. That was the start of the biggest fast food company. In 1955, Kroc opened his first McDonald’s near Chicago. Four years later,the 100th McDonald’s was opened. In 1961 Kroc bought all rights(权利) to McDonald’s from Mac and Dick.By 1972, a new McDonald’s was opened every day. By 1974, there were over 3000 McDonald’s around the world.
What does "this was a very successful business" mean?
选项 A、The restaurant was very well managed.
B、All the restaurant workers were busy.
C、McDonald’s was a famous restaurant.
答案A
解析 词句理解题。这种题目考查的其实是对上下文意义逻辑的理解。回到原文，我们发现第二段首先简要描述了一下McDonald’s Hamburgers的情况，指出它虽然小，但其中工作的都是穿着干净自制服的年轻人，他们很快乐，干活快而且有礼貌，所以来买汉堡的人源源不断。然后指出Kroc看后觉得this was a very successful business。从字面上来看，句子的意思是“这是家很成功的企业”，但由前面的描述可以推知，它实际上强调的是这家小餐馆“经营得很好”，因此本题答案就是[A]。其余两项都不正确：[B]项的意思是“餐馆的所有员工都很忙碌”，这可能是实际情况，但与successful busirless并无必然联系；[C]指“麦当劳是一家有名的餐馆”，这与第二段第一句指出的情况以及第三段描述的麦当劳的发展过程不符。
