A 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 cheek for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, 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 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.

B Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren't in film school yet and aren't, strictly speaking, even adults? They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with "red carpet" interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events tor more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18. "What's really exciting is that it's the film for kids by kids," said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. "We want to make this a national event," Ms. Gardner added. The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. "A lot of the material is really mature," Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. "The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke." Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants' feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country. The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.

C The California region boasts a wide variety of climates and geographical features, rivaling any other area of comparable dimensions. Nearly all but the eastern-edge California Native Americans lived where environmental conditions were favorable, making food relatively accessible. Along the Pacific Coast, they hunted fish and sea mammals by boat. Included were such California tribes as the Chumash, Yurok and Pomo. The Maidu and Pomo principally ate acorns, which have a higher calorie rating than wheat. They pounded the hard nuts with stones and washed out the bitter taste with water. The Pomo crafted what were arguably the finest baskets in all of indigenous America. They made baskets as small as a thimble and as big as a yard in width. They made watertight baskets tor cooking acorn mush and seed gruel, as well as for carrying and storing food. They wove especially beautiful baskets for presents and as offerings to forebears. Some were bedecked with colorful bird feathers and shells. Their skill also was applied to trays, boats, headgear and baby carriers, such as a wickerwork cradleboard in which an infant spent his first year. Their mothers wore hats that resembled bowl-shape baskets. The California natives lived in communities numbering up to 2,000 with dwellings arrayed in groups. A house consisted of a round frame covered with grass. There was a skylight in the roof and the beds were made on skin-covered frames each with a partition for privacy. In the center of the floor, they made a cook fire for seeds, nuts, fish and other foods. More than 100 languages flourished in California before European contact; most are gone today.

2. How many tribes of California region are mentioned in the passage?
D It's one of our common beliefs that mice are afraid of eats. Scientists have long known that even if a mouse has never seen a cat before, it is still able to detect chemical signals released from it and run away in fear. This has always been thought to be something that is hard-wired into a mouse's brain. But recently Wendy Ingram, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, has challenged this common sense. She has found a way to "cure" mice of their inborn fear of cats by infecting them with a parasite, reported the science journal Nature. The parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might sound unfamiliar to you, but the shocking fact is that up to one-third of people around the world are infected by it. This parasite can cause different diseases among humans, especially pregnant women—it is linked to blindness and the death of unborn babies. However, the parasite's effects on mice are unique. Ingram and her team measured how mice reacted to a cat's urine (尿) before and after it was infected by the parasite. They noted that normal mice stayed far away from the urine while mice that were infected with the parasite walked freely around the test area. But that's not all. The parasite was found to be more powerful than originally thought—even after researchers cured the mice of the infection, they no longer reacted with fear to a cat's smell, which could indicate that the infection has caused a permanent change in mice's brains. Why does a parasite change a mouse's brain instead of making it sick like it does to humans? The answer lies in evolution. Toxoplasma gondii can only reproduce inside a cat. So the parasite had to develop a way of tricking the mice into getting eaten more easily—thus helping itself go inside a cat—by taking away mice's sense of alarm.
1. The passage is mainly about ______.
A.mice's inborn terror of cats
B.the evolution of Toxoplasma gondii
C.a new story about the effects of a parasite on mice
5. The author's attitude towards the experiment is ______.
A.positive
B.subjective
C.negative
D.objective
A B C D
A
[解析] 观点态度题。A项意为“积极的”;B项意为“主观的”;C项意为“消极的”;D项意为“客观的”。根据文章第四段中的“The parasite was found to be more powerful than originally thought”可知,作者对此实验的态度是积极的。所以A项证确。
Ⅳ. 书面表达/Writing (15分)
1. Write about the following topic: It is a Chinese virtue that we are ready to help others. What is your opinion about it? Please write a composition with the title of "Highlight the Spirit of Lei Feng". You are required to write at least 150 words.
One possible version
Highlight the Spirit of Lei Feng
As an English saying goes, "Rose presented, smell remained", which means helping others will benefit yourself as well. in China, Lei Feng has become a synonym of helping others. As far as I am concerned, the spirit of Lei Feng can not be out of date in modern society. First of all, helping others is one of the Chinese virtues, which is worth carrying forward by all of us. For example, a village teacher named Liu Xintao, who sticks to teach the village students for up to 24 years, is a type of living Lei Feng. Secondly, helping others would bring us happiness and a sense of achievements. We would happy to see that many people are participating in charity activities. Furthermore, helping others is helping ourselves. One of the most beautiful returns in life is that we may get gains at the same time after helping others in good faith. I believe that we all live in the same society, we should give others a hand when they in need, and we should transmit this kind of virtue. The spirit of Lei Feng will always be the highlight of our lives.
