参考答案【正确答案：D】
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第四段。第四段是对这次罢工的一个评价。此段最后一句为“但这一行业出现游行势头不同寻常，由于员工流动率高，组织游行示威一直很难”。由此可知，D项“员工流动率高”，符合题意，为正确答案。A项“组织员工是困难的”表述正确，但不是根本原因。B项“同时罢工是困难的”和C项“罢工规模是巨大的”属于过度推断。

- 7 【英译汉】 A San Francisco fast food restaurant has opened with no waiting staff or cashiers and instead dispenses its meals using a giant vending machine. Customers of Eatsa, in the middle of the city's financial district, order their dishes on iPads, which are prepared by staff in a hidden kitchen and delivered to the fully automated “cubbies”. According to Tim Young, Eatsa's co-founder, the company is reinventing fast food by combining the speed and affordability of fast food with the delicious flavors and nutritious ingredients of premium fast casual. “By developing new technology to automate every aspect of the food experience, we are able to deliver a product with the best qualities of premium fast casual at a price point that is accessible to everyone.” The customers order their food using a virtual cashier, who retains details of previous purchases allowing tailored suggestions. When the food is ready, the dish is delivered to an individual glass door “cubby” which shows personalized graphics allowing the customer to quickly identify their own lunch.
- 8 【英译汉】 Is organic food better for you than the standard fare in grocery stores? New study suggests shoppers pay more for no nutritional benefit. Phil Reay Smith has the results of one new study that might surprise you. The stores offer an array of fresh and delicious looking food, but shoppers who fund the ￡21 billion annual market in organic produces might find the Food Standard Agency's new study leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. The study appears clear enough. It claims there is little if any nutritional difference between organic and conventionally produced food and no evidence of any additional health benefit from eating it. The FSA say the findings are intended to help people make an informed choice but they also call into question the higher price of organic food. On the other hand, people in the organic food industry, like AI Overton, believe it's that lack of pesticides and better reputation of animal welfare that will keep customers coming.
