试题分析：这篇短文介绍必胜客的发展史。七尺，是由两名大学生向父母借了600美元，在邻居家的小房子里卖披萨。刚开始免费提供披萨为了招揽顾客，就这样一步步慢慢发展壮大起来
小题1:细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句话the business was started in 1958 by two college students with a loan of 600 dollars.“这个生意是由两名大学生借了600美元始创于1958年。”而现在是2014年，因此至今已有56年。故选C。
小题2:词义猜测题。根据文章第二段第二行They borrowed the money from their mother and sold pizza in a small house in their neighborhood.“他们向他们的妈妈借钱并在邻居家的小房子里卖披萨。”因此loan的意思是A，向别人借来钱。
小题3:推理判断题。最后一段介绍了必胜客逐渐发展壮大起来，但是他们依旧对外赠送披萨给一些需要的人。说明他们很慷慨，故选C。
