AIt was the summer of 1965. Fred DeLuca, then 17 and right out of high school, came to visit Peter Buck, a family friend. Peter asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. DeLuca told him that he just needed a way to pay for his college himself. Then Peter advised him to open a subway sandwich shop, and he would be a partner.They designed the menu and prices, even though they didn’t know how much the food would cost. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Peter wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented(租) a store in Bridgeport, Connecticut. When they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Peter kicked in another $1,000. DeLuca’s parents helped look for food suppliers and equipment. When they needed a sign, DeLuca’s father suggested they try a guy he worked with. The first Subway was ready for business, with friends and family helping out.After six months’ operation, they were doing poorly. However, having a goal was a huge advantage. “Even though it felt like we couldn’t shoot straight, we knew what direction we were going,” DeLuca stressed. Today, they have 20,446 stores in the United States, and 6,113 stores overseas. In many ways, Subway continues to be a network of family and close friends. “Peter and I are still partners,” DeLuca said. Even Dick, who d esigned the first logo (标志), still works with Subway. Those close ties (关系) provided a safety net for the company. Later, they helped it grow. For DeLuca, they are the true secret to his success.36. DeLuca’s plan of starting a business began when he .A. knew Peter was a good partnerB. could not depend on his parentsC. visited a family friend PeterD. lacked money to go to college37. We can learn from the text that DeLuca’s parents .A. doubted the possibility of his successB. didn’t care about his business at allC. gave him full supportD. didn’t have trust in him38. The underlined part “kicked in” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A. earnedB. spentC. borrowedD. provided39. The purpose of the text is to .A. show how DeLuca successfully opened SubwayB. encourage people to believe in themselvesC. show the meaning of successD. explain how to start a businessBVitamin D helps bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to diseases such as rickets(佝偻病), mainly found in children. The thinning of bone is a common problem as people, especially women, get older.But more and more research is suggesting that vitamin D might also help prevent many diseases. The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. The sun’s ultraviolet (紫外线的) rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. As a result they stay out of the sun. Also, darker-skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter-skinned people. The amount also decreases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight.Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D. Foods high in this vitamin include oily fish and fish liver oils (鱼肝油). Farmed fish have only about one-fourth as much vitamin D as wild fish. Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks. But most of the vitamin D in the American diet comes from foods such as milk.Research in the last several years has shown that low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of heart attacks in men and deaths from some cancers. More doctors are now having their patients tested for their vitamin D levels. But as research continues, some experts worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might act as a poison. Also, skin doctors warn people to be careful with sun exposure because of the risk of skin cancer.40. The first paragraph is mainly about .A. the muscle diseasesB. the sources of vitaminsC. the importance of healthD. the functions of vitamin D41. Which of the following people produce the least amount of vitamin D?A. Elderly darker-skinned people.B. Young lighter-skinned people.C. Elderly lighter-skinned people.D. Young darker-skinned people.42. People can get the most vitamin D from .A. beef liverB. cheeseC. wild fishD. farmed fish43. What can we infer from the text?A. Being exposed to sunlight is the safest way to get vitamin D.B. Lack of vitamin D can make people age quickly.C. Proper vitamin D levels people need are still not determined now.D. The vitamin D level is higher in men than in women.CHigh school graduation is indeed important for the person concerned. It is usually marked by a party where friends and family present the person with gifts as a celebration. Below are some good choices for those who will go to college.You can buy a folding bike. It is a good choice for a high school graduate going to college who may not have room to store a traditional bike. He or she will love moving around the school. It can be easily folded and carried, which would be great for those who often trip back home on weekends. You can also buy a Walkman. It is not expensive. The person can enjoy music while walking, exercising or studying. It can help improve one’s mood.College is an important time for a person’s career. Many high school graduates know li ttle about the fields they will enter. So why not buy the person a book on what to expect in college life? That way the person would be fully prepared for college. Also he or she can tell something about it to his or her classmates. It is a reality that knowledge is something that cannot be taken away. Healthy food is a major issue in college. Some students have to put up with the bad-taste food in the college dining hall.

I think that is the beginning of failure and that is why what we hate remains around us. If you don’t want to se e things around you, don’t just hope it’ll change.We have such an amazing power of creativity inside us to change the way things work around us. Only lazy people go about and say that is the way things have been working. I’ve come to discover that things around us depend on our actions and inactions. What I mean is that the circumstances that we like depend only on the things we do and the things we don’t do.Do you want your country to change? Start by changing the small things around you. Before you think too far about any small thing to change, your habit should be the first thing to change. Change what you think about and talk about. Can you remember how difficult it was for you to break a habit that you desired to break some years back? If so, then yo u must accept that things aren’t just going to change by a magic thought. If it isn’t so easy to change yourself when you want to, it isn’t going to be so easy to change the people around you.I think the best way I’ve changed people around me is that I changed myself. When you change, they’ll change. Just change yourself and see how many people will tell you later that you are the one who changes them. That’s one simple way young people can change their nations.48. According to the text, why do we fail t o change what we don’t like?A. Because we lack the power of creativity.B. Because we never plan to change them.C. Because they cannot be changed.D. Because we don’t have the ability.49.

What can we learn from the text?A. Circumstance creates a person.B. It is never too late to change your habits.C. A long journey begins with the first step.D. Changing ourselves means changing others.EThirsty and hot, 12 elephants walked slowly with heavy steps across African grasslands. The water hole was less than a mile away now, and every one in the herd (兽群) was looking forward to a good, long drink. Tired young elephants wanted to stop, but mothers and aunts pushed them along. Suddenly every one stopped. Huge ears stretched out like satellite dishes (圆盘式卫星天线). After a minute or two of what seemed like silence, the animals turned and walked away from the water hole —fast. As they went, the adults gathered closely to the young elephants.So what happened? Why did the elephants change their course? They seemed to be listening to something. And whatever it was, they got the message to run away. Yet human ears heard nothing.For years, elephants have puzzled observers with this type of behavior. But now scientists have solved the mystery. They disco vered that elephants have a “secret” language they use for communicating over long distances.This special talk is based on infrasound (次声), sounds so low in pitch (音高) that humans can’t hear them. The sounds can travel for several miles, allowing the six-ton animals to keep in touch across grasslands and forests in Africa or Asia.Elephants use infrasound to communicate many types of messages over long distances. Some of their talks help hold families together. To understand how this works, you need to know something about elephant families.Females spend their lives with mothers, sisters, and children. They form herds of 10 to 20 members with all the members having strong friendly relationships with one another. The oldest female elephant — the matriarch — takes charge. Males live with a herd until they are teenagers. Then they leave, living alone or joining with other males.The members of a herd often scatter (分散) over large areas to seek food. Long-distance calls let elephants know where their relatives are. And when the matriarch says, “Come here!” the herd gathers within minutes.52. What’s the text mainly about?A. Elephants’ secre t language.B. Elephants’ relationships.C. Elephant families.D. Mysteries about elephants.53. Why did the elephants walk away from the water hole?A. Because they were driven by another herd.B. Because the water hole was too far away.C. Because they wanted to find a better source of water.D. Because they had received some kind of warning.54. The matriarch is .A. the oldest female elephant in charge of the whole herdB. the strongest elephant which protects the whole herdC. the oldest male elephant which leads the whole herdD. the most experienced elephant which gives instructions55. Elephant families are mentioned in the text to show .A. how elephants protect themselvesB. how elephants use infrasound to communicateC. how a herd of elephants is formedD. how elephants search for food in the wild四、写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Last night I quarrelled with my roommate on a little 56.thing, so we ignored with each other.
