If you are in any major city in America, the chances are high that you are not far from a Starbucks. The company started in the West Coast city of Seattle, Washington, in 1971. Starbucks was[13]named after a character in the famous American novel "Moby-Dick" by Herman Melville. Today, there are more than twelve thousand Starbucks around the world.
Sales last year were almost eight billion dollars. The company believes in opening many stores in busy areas of cities. For example, there are about thirty Starbucks stores in downtown Seattle. Starbucks sells more than just plain coffee. It started a whole coffee culture with its own special language and coffee workers called baristas.It sells many kinds of hot and cold coffee drinks, like White Chocolate Mocha and Frappuccino. It also sells music albums, coffee makers, food, and even books. But[14]most of all, it sells the idea of being a warm and friendly place for people to sit read or talk.
However, some people do not like the company’s aggressive expansion. Faith Lapidus, a small coffee seller is taking the company to court She says the way the company does business is illegal because it stops property owners from leasing stores to other coffee companies. She sees Starbucks as controlling the market and forcing out competition.
Nicolas O’Connell works for La Colombe, a coffee roasting company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He says Starbucks has helped to educate people about coffee from many countries. But[15]he criticizes the company for using machines more than people to make the coffee. Mr. O’Connell points out that the coffee culture is all about a hand-made product and interaction between people.
13. Where did Starbucks, the store name come from?
14. What is Starbucks’ most extraordinary character?
15. Why does Mr. O’Connell not like Starbuck?
选项
A、Because it expands rapidly its retail operations.
B、Because it squeezes competitors out of the market
C、Because it applies machine to make the coffee.
D、Because it imparts coffee knowledge and culture.
答案
C
解析
短文说,Mr.O’Connel批评Starbucks在制作咖啡时用机器比用手工更多。故答案是C。录音中有两个例子说明有些人不喜欢Starbucks。例子里的细节往往是考点,而且会出现张冠李戴的陷阱。本题问的是第二个例子的内容。A和B涉及的是第一个例子,所以都排除。题目问的是Not like的原因,D是正面的说法,也可排除。
