In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call 36 and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did
37 the water. Any kind of 38 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 39 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.21教育网
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being2-1-c-n-j-y
40 the water, moving through it, 41 it all around me. I was not a strong
42 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 43 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 44 those summer days with my father, who 45 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 46 person not in swimsuit.

IV. 阅读理解（共 20 小题，每题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）
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.’”21cnjy.com
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.【出处：21教育名师】
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.
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
Which of the following is true of Buck?
He put money into the sandwich business.
He was a professor of business administration.
He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
He rented a storefront for DeLuca.
What can we learn about their first shop?
It stood at an unfavorable place.
It lowered the prices to promote sales.
It made no profits due to poor management.
It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.
They decided to open a second store because they .
had enough money to do it.
had succeeded in their business.
wished to meet the increasing demand of customers.
wanted to make believe that they were successful.
What contributes 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.

Many parents have learned the hard way that what sounds like open communication is often the very thing that closes a youngster’s ears and mouth. One common mistake is the Lecture, the long monologue that often starts with “When I was your age….” Eighteen-year-old Kelly calls lectures “long, one-side discussions in which I don’t say much.”21*cnjy*com
Kids reflexively（条件反射地）shut down in the face of a lecture. Their eyes glaze over（呆滞）, and they don’t register any incoming information. Listen to 13-year-old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad. “First, they scream. Then comes the ‘We’re so disappointed’ speech. Then the ‘I never did that to my parents’ lecture begins. After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound, they never take it back.”21教育名师原创作品
Lines like “When you have children of your own, you’ll understand” have been seriously said by parents since time immemorial. But many of our expert parents, like Bobby, a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on clichés（陈词滥调）to justify our actions, we weaken our position.
Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them. Therefore, good communicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific
reasons for your actions in present language: ‘I’m not letting you go to the party because I don’t think there will be enough adult supervisions（监护）.’”
Betty, who lives in Missouri, uses an indirect approach. “I find that warnings are accepted more readily if I discuss a news article on a subject I am concerned about. My husband and I talk about it while our children absorb the information.
Then they never think I’m preaching(布道).”
This really helped when Betty’s kids began driving. Instead of constantly repeating “Don’t drink; don’t speed,” she would talk about articles in the paper and express sympathy for the victims of a car crash. Betty made no special effort to draw her kids into the conversation. She depended on a teenager’s strong desire to put in his opinions---especially if he thinks he isn’t being asked for them.
The purpose of the passage is to .
compare two ways of parents communicating with their kids
give parents advice on how to communicate with their kids
explain why kids won’t listen to their parents.
introduce kids’ reaction to the communication between them and their parents
Which of the following statements is NOT right?
Kids won’t listen to their parents because they think what their parents say is
boring.
Many kids think they have no right to express their own opinions.
Some kids think their parents should apologize when they are wrong.
Kids don’t like any discussion at all.
What does the underlined word “monologue” in the first paragraph mean?
A. a long speech by one person B. a speech by two persons
C. conversation D. discussion
Which of the following topic may appeal to kids?
Parents’ own experience
Kids possible life in the future
Something related to kids’ present life
What parents have done to their own parents.
In order to make kids follow their advice, parents should _.
tell their kids to listen carefully
set out their warnings directly
list out as many examples as possible
arouse kids’ desire to express themselves.
C
From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man Vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing.
Thousands of people all over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. Their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed
to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by
huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten.
It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievable lenient (宽容的) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident
rate.
Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stress power and performance should be banned. These measures may not sound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.
What is the main idea of this passage?
Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.
Thousands of people all over the world are killed each year.
The laws of some countries about driving are too lenient.
We should have stricter traffic laws to prevent accidents.
What does the author think of society toward motorists?
Society laughs at the motorists.
Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.
Victims of accidents are nothing.
Society forgives their rude driving.
What does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extension of his personality” in Paragraph 2?
Driving can show his hidden qualities.
Driving can show the other part of his personality.
Driving can bring out his character.
Driving can represent his manners.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?
Perfect the road network.
Stricter driving tests.
Test drivers every three years.
Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.
The author’s attitude towards the traffic situation is .
A. confused B. dissatisfied C. appealing D. doubtful
D
