阅读理解。    It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked
DeLuca about his plans 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 $1000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in
Connecticut, and when they couldn"t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000.
    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 controls." All he and Buck
knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
    DeLuca was managing the store and going 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 evenings 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 suppliers. "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 keep working toward your goal," DeLuca adds.
    DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.1. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ____.A. support his family
B. pay for his college education
C. help his partner expand business
D. do some research    2. 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. 3. What can we learn about their first shop?A. It stood at an unfavorable place.
B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.
C. It made no profits due to poor management
D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches    4. They decided to open a second store because they ___.A. had enough money to do it.
B. had succeeded in their business
C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D. wanted to make people believe that they were successful   5. What contribute most to their success according to the author?A. Learning by trial and error.
B. Making friends with suppliers.
C. Finding a good partner.
D. Opening chain stores

     A newly-wedded couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including
the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami (海啸).
     Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately
stranded (搁浅) in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe"s worst snowstorms.
     Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by
one of the most violent cyclones in the nation"s history.
     From there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement (水泥)
floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others.
     "Trees were being knocked over and big branches were put down across the streets," Mr. Svanstrom
told Sweden"s Expressen newspaper. "We escaped by the skin of our teeth."
     Mr. Svanstrom said they then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive
flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped burning bush fires.
     The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude (震级)
6.3 earthquake attacked the city on February 22.
     Mrs. Svanstrom said, "When we got there the whole town was a war zone. We could not visit the
city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan."
     But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan"s largest earthquake since
records began.
     "The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr. Svanstrom said. "It was
like the buildings were swaying back and forth."
     The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China.
     But Mr. Svanstrom -- who also survived the devastating (毁灭性的) Boxing Day tsunami that hit
southeast Asia in 2004 -- said the marriage was still going strong.
     He added, "I know marriages have to experience some difficulties, but I think we have been through
most of them. We"ve certainly experienced more than our fair share of disasters, but the most important
thing is that we"re together and happy."

D.The Svanstroms didn"t experience any disaster in China.

     1685 was a very good year for German composers. Within the space of a month, two of the
greatest were born: Johann Sebastian Bach and Oeorge Frideric Handel.
     Handel"s father was a barber and a surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but
back then those occupations went hand in hanD．Even though Handel was very interested in music,
his father didn"t think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The
story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret.
    One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working,
Handel sat down and played the duke"s organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handel"s
father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose.
    Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was operA．In fact, he was so passionate about
opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn
about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court
composer for a German prince.
     Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to
go to England, where he"d heard that there weren"t nearly enough composers to satisfy the British taste
for Italian operA．
     After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a
funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince
Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne. When he arrived in London as King George,
followed Handel, his court composer in Germany.
   In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his
time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories
of battles with rival opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a
temper.
    If you ever go to London, look for Handel"s grave in Westminster Abbey, where there"s a wonderful
monument to him.

1.How did Handel begin to learn to compose?

A．His father was sure of his future success.
B．His performance impressed a duke.
C．He begged his father to send him to Italy.
D．He practiced hard and taught himself music.

2What does the underlined word "smuggled" mean in the passage?

A．bought secretly
B．took secretly
C．carried in advance
D．possessed personally

3Why did Handel later settle down in Britain instead of Germany?   A．Because he could find better jobs in London.
B．Because he enjoyed greater fame in London.
C. Became his boss became King of Britain and brought him along,.
D. Because London was a wonderful place to learn about opera.4Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Handel, as shown in the passage?  A．bad-tempered
B．talented
C．enthusiastic
D．optimistic5．Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?  A．Handel was born in the same year with Bach.
B．Many people worked both as a barber and a surgeon.
C．Handel quit his job to learn about opera in Italy.
D．Handel was buried in London and was built a monument.

阅读理解。     Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter,
Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting
half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager"s intended major, one located
near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
     "The safety issue is a big one," says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn"t alone in his
worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always
asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer, "That"s not a
problem here," --Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
     "No crime whatsoever?" comments Mahoney today. "I just don"t buy it." Nor should he: in 1999
the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our
campuses. "Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college," says
David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. "Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation."
     But getting accurate information isn"t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some
hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. "The truth may not
always be serious," warms S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, InC．, the nation"s leading
campus safety watchdog group.
     To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the
country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.1．The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ________.A．to express the opinions of many parents
B．to choose a right one for their daughter
C．to check the cost of college education
D．to find a right one near a large city2．It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ______.A．receive too many visitors
B．mirror the rest of the nation
C．hide the truth of campus crime
D．have too many watchdog groups3．The underlined word "buy" in the third paragraph means __________.A．mind
B．admit
C．believe
D．expect4．We learn from the text that "the honest ones" in the fourth paragraph most probably
refers to colleges _________.A．that are protected by campus security
B．that report campus crimes by law
C．that are free from campus crime
D．that enjoy very good publicity5．What is the text mainly about?

A．Exact campus crime statistics
B．Crimes on or around campuses
C．Effective solutions to campus crime
D．Concerns about kids" campus safety

完形填空。

     I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real     1   .
     He had gone out of the study for some    2   , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see
what was on his desk. In the     3     was a small piece of paper on which were written the     4
"English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Series of Biographies ".
     A(n)     5     boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the   6   . I did not.
The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a    7   until the start of the exam, so I could not
   8   reading it.
When the headmaster     9    , I was looking out of the window.
     I should have told him what had     10     then. It would have been so     11     to say: "I"m sorry,
but I     12   the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You"ll have to    13     it."
     The chance passed and I did not    14   it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn"t mean to
cheat, but it was still cheating anyhow.
     That was thirty-eight years ago when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor
have I tried to explain to myself why not.
     The obvious     15 _   is that I could not admit I had seen the title without admitting that I had been
looking at the things on his desk. But there must have been more behind it. Whatever it was, it has
become a good example of how a little mistake can trap you in a more serious moral corner.

阅读理解。     Angus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd in the remote mountainous
region of northwest Scotland. He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further
than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief
trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing
number of hill-walkers in the region as sources of international news.
     In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise
his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic
Games in Barcelona. Excited by the student"s colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona.
     The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime, watching a
growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed that
they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer and
watched.
     Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the
official at the door and said "Pole Vault". The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next
came a heavy-set man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous weapon
in a modern city. The man shouted " Javelin " and was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled. Perhaps
they were all connected with security. His puzzlement grew when a huge man appeared with a steel ball
in his hand. He shouted "Shot Putt" and walked past the official.
     It suddenly dawned on Angus that these people were competitors. He opened his programme and
sure enough under the heading "events" he saw the three words the men had said. Angus laughed to
himself as a plan began to take shape in his mind. First he needed to buy one or two things.
     An hour later he reappeared dressed in a tracksuit with "Scotland" written across the chest. Over
his shoulder he carried a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网). Smiling to himself he walked up to the official
and as casually as he could, shouted, "Fencing!"1. Which was Angus" new way of getting information about the outside world?A. Travelling from his birthplace.
B. Talking to hill-walkers in the region.
C. Going to the nearby village to sell sheep.
D. Listening to radio and watching TV.2. What are "Javelin" , "Pole Vault", "Shot Putt" and "Fencing" in the passage?A. Olympic events.
B. Names of competitors.
C. Security weapons.
D. Names of countries.3. From the passage we can learn that ______.A. more and more people went to Scotland to practise their English
B. Angus became a member of the Scottish Olympic team
C. Angus had been planning a trip to Barcelona to see the Olympic Games
D. the Spanish student"s description of his country excited Angus 4. From the passage we know that Angus seemed to be                .

A. poorly-informed
B. intelligent
C. strong-minded
D. athletic

5. What do you expect the official would do in the end?

A. Help him carry the wire.
B. Lead him to the competition.
C. Refuse to let him in.
D. Give him a close inspection.
