　　"The development pace for Kelly’s Hero in Mexico that we projected in 2004 is at full speed.

"Everyone is proud of this accomplishment. It shows that anything is possible when a great team works together. And we expect the strong growth to continue."

　　The milestone sandwich shop opened in the Mexico City district of Polanco and it is owned and operated by Kelly’s Hero franchisees Maura and Lucas Hendricks,who now own two Kelly’s Hero restaurants and have another under construction.The Hendricks chose to open a Kelly’s Hero restaurant because they frequented the chain while traveling and liked the food.

The company is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, and has regional offices in Brussels, Melbourne, Atlanta, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo.

　　Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:

　　One of the earliest and most influential proponents of the idea of continental drift was a German astronomer, meteorologist, and explorer named Alfred Wegener.In 1912 he advanced good arguments to support the idea that at one time there was no Atlantic Ocean. The Americas and Greenland were welded with Europe, Africa, Australia and Antarctica into one large continent, Pangaea.

　　His strongest argument seemed to be the remarkable similarity of the continental margins on opposite sides of the Atlantic. But he also looked at similarities in ancient geologic structures, fossil records, and ancient climates to support his hypothesis. He pointed out that some unique geological structures in the Americas terminate abruptly in the Atlantic Ocean and then continue again on the other side of the Atlantic, as if the structures had formed when the continents were together and then were cleaved as the continents tore apart. He showed that the fossil records on both sides of the Atlantic were similar up to about a hundred million years ago and then showed divergence, indicating that the continents had become isolated from each other at that time. Finally, by using fossils and sediments, he was able to demonstrate that ancient climates on both sides of the Atlantic were similar,although they were quite different from those presently found in the respective regions.

　　Wegener’s interesting ideas were too revolutionary to be easily accepted or seriously considered at the time. He died in 1930, more than two decades before further evidence forced reconsideration and eventual acceptance of his revolutionary way of looking at our world.

　　49. Wegener’s ideas about continental drift are properly termed a "hypothesis" (line9) because

　　A. his written records state it as such.

　　B. absolute proof did not exist in his day.

　　C. he was just beginning a scientific study of the topic.

　　D. that is what all scientific theories are called.

　　50. Which of the following best describe the organization of this passage?

　　A. a typical biographical sketch focusing on a person’s main achievement

　　B. thesis, supporting statements, conclusion

　　C. general material first, followed by specific points

　　D. problem statement broken down into separate components

　　51. Wegener advanced all of the following in support of his theory EXCEPT

　　A. continental edge lands on either side of the Atlantic.

　　B. ancient earth and land structures.

　　C. ancient data and recorded history.

　　D. ancient climates on both sides of the Atlantic.

　　52. Based on information in the passage, we can see that acceptance of Wegener’s 1912 theory was hindered by

　　A. failure of the media to present his theory.

　　B. his failure to document similarities on either side of the Atlantic.

　　C. its own revolution in scientific thought.

Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:

　　As more Americans do more things online, Intemet identity theft is a growing--and very costly--problem. Consider the following six aspects and learn the best ways to protect yourself.

　　Guard Your Personal Information. Never respond to requests for personal or account information online (or over the phone). When your social security number is requested as an identifier, ask if you can provide alternate information. Watch out for convincing imitations of banks, card companies, charities and government agencies.Use legitimate sources of contact information to verify requests for information,such as your financial institution’s official website or the telephone number listed on statements.

　　Don’t overshare. Don’t divulge your birth date, mother’s maiden name, pet’s name or any other identifying information on social media websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter.

　　Beware of Fake Online Sweepstakes and Contests. All offers that require payment or private information before giving an award are bogus. Take the time to check out the validity of an offer. Ask for contact information from the sender and details about the company running the contest. Once you start asking a lot of questions and make it clear you won’t be pushed to make an immediate decision,most scammers will go away.

　　Ask What Your Bank Is Doing to Protect You. Understand banks’ guarantees for fraud protection: all large providers now offer zero-liability protection for debit and credit cards, while a few offer a guarantee for online banking transactions.

　　Keep a Close Eye on Your Finances. Monitor your bank and credit card accounts weekly. Sign up for alerts to be sent to your mobile phone or email.Monitor your credit and public information online to spot unauthorized activity. Free credit reports from each of the three major credit bureaus are available each year through annualcreditreport.com. Optional fee-based services offer more extensive monitoring of credit information, personal identity records, social security numbers and online transactions.

　　Report It. If you’re a victim of online fraud, contact the authorities. You can file an online report with the Intemet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)--a partnership between the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center, and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Also contact your local police to file a report. The more people who report such crimes, the more criminals are arrested.
