Q1.Whatisthenewsreportmainlyabout

解析：

第一道题是主旨大意题，我们课上讲过新闻题开头部分很重要，而本道题第一句话就给出了这篇新闻的主旨。

这句话重点在从句部分，thenumberofpeoplewithoutjobsisincreasing失业人数增加，对应选项中C项的Risingunemployment，而这个国际组织international也暗示了是世界范围的失业人数。

所以答案选C。

Q2.Whatdoes,JuanSomavia,thedirectorgeneraloftheInternationalLaborOrganizationsay

解析：

原文中提到某人说的话，说一部分国家开始处理全球危机带来的影响，又一个转折，however，很多国家没这么做。

结合这两句，和我们选项中的C项Fewcountrieshaverealizedtheseriousnessofthecurrentcrisis同义替换。

听完问题便可确认此答案。

Q3.WhatarebigfastfoodchainsinNewYorkCityrequiretodoaccordingtothenewrule

解析:

本道题比较简单，属于原文重现，原文中提到postcaloriecountsrightonthemenu，对应了选项中的B）Putcalorieinformationonthemenu，将卡路里信息写在菜单上。

故答案为B。

Q4.Whatwouldhappentobigrestaurantchainsthatviolatethenewrule

解析：

看四个选项提到了they,那么问题很有可能和原文中多次提到的快餐连锁有关，原文最后一句话提到快餐连锁如不公布热量信息将会被处以200美元的罚金，及对应选项中的befined“被罚款”这个信息，答案为A）Theywillbefined.

Q5.Whatistheproblemwithmanycompaniesaccordingtothenewsreport

解析：

本文中一直提到的词是innovation”创新”,文中第一句话就提到notmanyareabletointegrateinnovationintotheirbusiness，没有多少公司能够将创新整合进自己的商业模式上，原文重现对应到我们的选项D）Failuretointegrateinnovationintotheirbusiness.

Q6.Whatdomanypeopletendtothinkofinnovation

解析：

原文中借article之口提出很多人对创新的看法是innovationjustmeanscreatingsomethingnew创新就是创造新东西，接着又提到说创新远不止这些。

而确认问题是大部分人的观点，故选择和原文同义替换的一个表达B）Itisthecreationofsomethingnew.作为正确答案。

　　Q7.WhatdoesthecompanyProcter&Gambleoweitssuccessto

解析：

本题作为一个举例信息在原文中被提到，原文直接说到一个名词叫做innovationculture创新文化，接着说useitasaprimarytoolforsuccess把他作为走向成功的主要方式。
