But he liked the name and registered it for himself and ‎ co-founder Sergey Brin.‎ ‎ This luxury car maker combined elements from the Ford and Oldsmobile companies when it was started in 1902 and later became known for its innovation and high quality. The company was named for the French explorer Antoine Laumet de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo. That may have led him to think of Starbuck, the first mate in Herman Melville’s famous novel, Moby Dick. Not only the company name but also the origin of its logo has aroused great curiosity.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ The inventor of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, was looking to make an elegant, yet precise, wristwatch.

I feel pleasantly satisfied as I look out at the rush hour traffic on the motorway. I feel more satisfied as the smell of fresh coffee announces the arrival of the drinks service. Swiss friends often tell me, proudly, that their rail service is the best in the world, but recently, one experience has proved that great Swiss love affair with their railway has turned a little sour(酸)．‎ It all began with the decision to end ticket sales on trains. One cold morning I arrived at my local station only to find that the ticket machine was broken. No matter, I thought, I have got a smart phone, and I hurriedly set about buying my ticket that way. This was not as easy as I had expected, busying myself between credit card and phone with freezing cold fingers, but, by the time I got on the train to Geneva I had an e-ticket and I proudly showed it to the conductor. Unfortunately she told me that my ticket was not valid. Several weeks later a letter arrived from Swiss railways together with a fine for 190 francs ( 210)．‎ The good people there tell me the formal payment for my ticket from my credit card company arrived four minutes after my train left the station. ‎ That means, they say, that I bought my ticket on the train－and that is strictly prohibited.‎ Swiss railways say their policy is designed to protect honest ticket－paying passengers, but a quick look at their balance sheet suggests something else. The company is making about2 million a month from fines．‎ Although train travel is still popular, those seats do not feel as comfortable; the coffee does not smell quite so good－because Swiss railways have lost, for now anyway, something far more precious than2 million a month: good relations with their customers.‎ ‎24. What can we learn from paragraph 1?‎ A. The Swiss trains usually come late.‎ B. Traffic on the motorway goes smoothly.‎ C. The author hates traveling on the Swiss train.‎ D. The author is generally pleased with the Swiss rail service.‎ ‎25. Why did the conductor say that the author’s e-ticket was invalid?‎ A. It was purchased online.‎ B. It was paid for after the train’s departure.‎ C. It was purchased on a ticket machine.‎ D. It was paid on a smart phone.‎ ‎26. What does the author want to show by telling the experience?‎ A. The fine was unfair. B. The conductor was impolite.‎ C. E-tickets are getting popular. D. Credit cards can be inconvenient.‎ ‎27. What does the author think of the policy of Swiss railways?‎ A. It attracts more people to travel by train. B. It makes the company lose a lot of money.‎ C. It damages company-customer relations. D. It protects honest ticket-paying passengers.‎ 参考答案： 24-27 DBAC ‎ ‎[七]‎ These devices were among the thousands featured at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, a conference that brings industry experts together to share the latest and greatest in tech.‎ A food baby-friendly belt College students are familiar with “food babies,” big stomachs caused by eating a little — okay, a lot — too much. This smart belt automatically adjusts to your stomach size. That’s right. When you overeat, Belty expands with your stomach. ‎ ‎“You’ll definitely know how many months into the pregnancy you are,” jokes Steve Greenberg, author of Gadget Nation, who just got back from CES.‎ If you don’t want to use Belty while pigging out, you can take advantage of its health-related features instead. Along with shifting size, Belty tracks food intake and exercise. It even vibrates（振动） if you’ve been inactive too long.‎ The Rocket Power characters’dream product Most students walk, bike or skate across campus. But with Rocketskates, which are electronic, motorized skates tied to your regular shoes, you can move very quickly. ‎ The skate’s wheels, which are run by a microprocessor, get going when you lean forward and stop when you lean back. Top speed is 12 miles per hour, meaning you could leave your dorm at 7:56 and be on time for your 8:00 class. And you can carry them afterwards, since they’re light-weight.‎ A magical microwave Most 3D printers turn plastic into 3D objects. But XYZprinting’s version turns flour and chocolate into cookies, cake and candy. ‎ The printer, which is about the same size as a traditional all-in-one ‎ version, is simple to use. You select a 3D food item from the company’s database of “recipes,” all of which have been approved by a food specialist. Within minutes, your food is ready.‎ The “why hasn’t someone invented this sooner” phone charger Everyone knows college students are busy－mostly because we take every available opportunity to say so.‎ The StoreDot FlashBattery can’t solve scheduling issues for smart phones, but it does make life easier by completely charging them in one minute.‎ Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot CEO, calls the battery’s quick-charging time “ideal” for college students. He even visualizes free StoreDot stations on campus that would make carrying a charger unnecessary.‎ ‎32. What’s the main function of Belty?‎ A. To track food intake and exercise.‎ B. To warn you it’s time to get up and exercise.‎ C. To predict how long a person has been pregnant.‎ D. To make your stomach comfortable by shifting size.‎ ‎33.

According to its advertisement, potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation, then complete a six－minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine and spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the café’s menu for free.‎ The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday. “According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting, being inactive and eating lunch at their desks—a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，” Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs, said in a statement. “We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”‎ She added, “Importantly, the café isn’t in any way about encouraging people to ‘cancel out’ calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Bun Café only represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”‎ Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(模仿者) around the globe. Interested parties can head to 3 Slingsby Place, London from 12 p．m.to 3 p．m.until Friday.‎ ‎21．Where does the uniqueness of the activity lie?‎ A．In its excellence of service.‎ B．In its widespread advertising.‎ C．In its special way of payment.‎ D．In its abundance of food choices.‎ ‎22．Why did the Run for Your Bun Café hold the activity?‎ A．To introduce healthy eating habits to office workers.‎ B．To prove the benefits of being physically active.‎ C．To help improve office workers’ productivity.‎ D．To encourage office workers’ activity level.‎ ‎23．What does the author think of the activity?‎ A．It may have far－reaching influence.‎ B．It should have attracted more people.‎ C．It shouldn’t have been a temporary one.‎ D．It could have been made more convenient.‎ 参考答案：‎ 该文主要介绍了欧洲一家健身服务提供商发起的一项活动。‎ ‎21.C解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的整体内容可知，顾客只要锻炼6分钟就可以得到免费的午餐，由此可推断，这种活动的独特之处在于午餐独特的付费形式，即以锻炼来付费，故选C。‎ ‎22.D解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“The gym chain explained that ‎ the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday.”和“We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”可知， 这一活动的目的在于鼓励上班族多活动，不要久坐，故选D。‎ ‎23. A解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可推知，作者认为活动虽然时间短，但具有开创性，可能在全球产生深远影响，故选A。‎
