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 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 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 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.21. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _.A. pay for his college education B. support his family C. help his partner expand business D. do some research 22. They decided to open a second store probably because they _.A. had enough money to do it.B. had succeeded in their businessC. wanted to make people believe that they were successfulD. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers23. What contribute most to their success according to the author?A. Making friends with suppliers. B. Learning by trial and error. C. Finding a good partner. D. Opening chain stores. BWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, youre not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes color or pattern（样式）.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldnt drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.Its time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientistAndrew Zolli ,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one examplewhat will be the next?24. We can learn from the text that in the future_.A . people will never get old B. everyone will look the sameC. red will be the most popular colorD. clothes will be able to change their pattern 25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information. B. More drinks will be given for sale.C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D.

Each individual ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.28. We can learn from the passage that ants are _.A. not willing to share foodB. more successful than all other animalsC. not found around the polesD. too many to achieve any level of organization29. Ants can use pheromones for_.A. escape B. warning enemies C. communication D. arranging labor30. What does the underlined expression take on in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Accept. B. Fight against. C. Play with. D. Employ.31. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants? A. Their weight B. Their size. C. Their number. D.Their behavior. DAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆).According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.32. The passage begins with two questions to _. A. show the authors altitudeB. introduce the main topic C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information33.What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrows team typed the information into a computer. B. The first group did not try to remember the formation. C. The two groups remembered the information equally well.D. The second group did not understand the information.34. In transactive memory, people _.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of information C. remember how to find the informationD. organize information like a computer35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A. We are becoming more intelligent. B. We are using memory differently.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.第二节（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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。 Characteristics of an excellent scientistThe Free Dictionary defines (定义) a scientist as a person having professional knowledge on one or more sciences, especially natural science or physical science._36_.
