DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “Im 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（支票） for $1000. DeLuca rented a storefront(店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt 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. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced（说服） 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 didin 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 wasnt 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.56DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to .A. support his family B. pay for his college educationC. help his partner expand business D. do some research57What can we learn about their first shop?A.

Our nervous systems would not operate. Our hearts would not beat.But do not think rubbing salt in a wound will help. Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound. To rub salt in a wound is an idiom that means to purposefully make a bad situation worse.Early humans got the salt they needed to stay alive from the animals they killed. But advances in agriculture led to a diet low in salt. So, humans needed to find other sources. Those who lived near the ocean or other natural sources for salt were lucky. Those who did not had to trade for salt. In fact, people used salt as a method of payment in many parts of the ancient world. The word “salary” es from the word “salt”.Salt also played an important part in population movement and world exploration. Explorers understood that if they could keep food fresh, they could travel longer distances. So they used salt to preserve food and explored the world.Salt was so important that, according to food historians, it was traded pound-for- pound for gold. Today, people still use the expressions “to be worth ones salt” or “worth ones weight in salt”. The expressions describe a person of value.A person might also be called “salt of the earth”. That description means he or she is dependable and trustworthy. However, when you say “I think we should take what he said with a grain of salt” you mean you accept it but maintain (保持) a degree of doubt about its truth.63What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Salt plays an important part in our life.B. Salt makes food tasty.C. Salt is considered to be part of our muscles.D. Salt is sure to damage nervous systems.64A beggars bread was stolen last night, which means .A. salt of the earth B. rubbing salt in a woundC. a diet low in salt D. worth his salt65If you describe a person as a great help, you mean .A. he is called salt of the earth B. he is often taken as a grain of saltC. he often uses salt to preserve meat D. he is worth his weight in salt66Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Salt is more than a four-letter word B. Salt is a basic element in cookingC. Salt is a word with a long history D. Salt is popular with different personsDNowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesnt happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.Children who bee addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they bee absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block（屏蔽） violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. Its time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and its time to keep our children from watching violence.67What experts really worry is that .A. children spend too much time watching TVB. TV violence has a bad influence on childrenC. children bee addicted to TV programsD. children have less time to do their homework68The author explain how the government should control TV violence by .A. giving an exampleB. giving a definitionD. presenting research findings69What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Explain. B. Copy. C. Ignore. D. Avoid.70What is the authors purpose for writing this text?A. To express his own worries about TV violence.B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.第二节 篇章结构 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to plan for a perfect holidayPeople often dream of a perfect holiday with white sands, blue beaches and so on.
