AIt was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I'm going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,”Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘you should open a sandwich shop.’”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面 inConnecticut, and when they couldn't cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial cont rols.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evening s and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful; we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners' learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to k eep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.31.Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.A.support his familyB.pay for his college educationC.help his partner expand businessD.do some research32.Which of the following is true of Buck?A.He put money into the sandwich business.B.He was a professor of business administration.C.He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.D.He rented a storefront for Deluca.33.What can we learn about their first shop?A.It stood at an unfavorable place.B.It lowered the prices to poor management.C.It made no profits due to poor management.D.It lacked control over the quality of sandwich.34.What contributes most to their success according to the author?A.Learning by trial and error.B.Making friends with supplies.C.Finding a good partner.D.Opening chain stores.BI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握 at one another's hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起 roundlistening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧 into a larger_cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen toclassical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.35.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.A.teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesB.readers to try to be popular with people aroundC.parents to try to control and guide their childrenD.people to try to understand and respect each other36.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.A.growing away from their parentsB.following the popularity trendC.walking a new way on their ownD.turning to their friends for help37.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.A.the distractive and variable societyB.the dazzling music worldC.the parental care and loveD.the popularity wave in the society38.What does the author think of advertisements?A.Convincing.B.Instructive.C.Influential.D.Authoritative.CBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.Personal consultants give them better advice for findingjobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告.But in the executivecircle,beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的than the less attractive ones.Thus,an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally femalejobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lackthe“masculine”qualities required.This is true even in politics.“When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently,”says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men,but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.39.The underlined word “liability”(in Para.1most probably means “________”.A.misfortuneB.instabilityC.disadvantageD.burden40.In traditionally female jobs,attractiveness________.A.reinforces(加强the feminine qualities requiredB.makes women look more honest and capableC.is of primary importance to womenD.often enables women to succeed quickly41.Bowman's experiment reveals that when it comes to politics,attractiveness________.A.turns out to be an obstacle to menB.affects men and women alikeC.has as little effect on men as on womenD.is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women42.It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often________.A.practicalB.prejudicedC.old-fashionedD.pessimisticDWinners ClubYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

But the opposite is true for men, whose long-term health benefits when they move in with a female partner.Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.Women still have the strongest long-term influence over the couple's diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.The report, by Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner. Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.Report autho r and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”47.According to the passage, moving in with a girlfriend, men ________.A.have few changes of their dietary habitsB.have to eat more unhealthy foodsC.don't like foods high in fat and sugar at allD.try to eat foods that their girlfriends like48.The underlined word “light”(in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A.not very heavyB.less in fat and sugarC.gentleD.not serious or important49.According to the report by Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre, ________.A.women put on weight only because they want to suit their other halfB.when men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habitsC.eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couplesD.it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner50.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Don't be silly any more, women!B.Which are better dietary habits?C.Boyfriends make you fatD.Dr. Amelia Lake and his study第三部分书面表达(共两节,满分50分第一节完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分阅读下列各小题,根据每句后的汉语提示,用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。
