    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 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.
    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.
    48．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
    49．Which of the following is true of Buck?
    A．He put money into the sandwich business.
    B．He was a professor of business administration.
    C．He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
    D．He rented a storefront for DeLuca.
    50．What can we learn about their first shop?
    A．It stood at an unfavorable palce.
    B．It lowered the prices to promote sales.
    C．It made no profits due to poor management
    D．It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches
    51．They decided to open a second store because they ___    .
    A．had enough money to do it.
    B．had succeeded in their business
    C．wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
    D．wanted to make believe that they were successful
    52．What contribute 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.

    The first field season is now over at the hut village of the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings．However，the archaeologists working on the excavation(挖掘)have found that they still have a great deal to do．The sun，the wind and tourists have left their mark on the village，originally discovered by Bernard Bruyhre in 1935．
    “From our modern perspective，it is upsetting to see how the village was first excavated and then left to be destroyed．Passers-by have used the huts as rubbish dumps and restrooms，”says Jaana Toivari—Viitala，a teacher at the University of Helsinki．“Fortunately，while we still have some surface cleaning to do，conservation are off to a good start．’’
    The hut viliage offers rare insight into everyday life in ancient Egypt．
    “In the early twentieth century，archaeologists were only interested in the tombs of kings． The workmen’s huts they discovered were seen as a necessary evil in the quest for the real trea sures．’，
    “Now several international research groups on different excavations are examining everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings．This seems to be a trend in archaeology right now．”Toivari-Viitala says．
    Her research group wants to find out why the hut village was built on the slope of a mountain，halfway between the construction site and Deir-el-Medina．They are also interested in how many workers lived in the village at a time，when they lived there，and what their role was in the construction work．
    “Comparing the names found in the village and in Deir-el-Medina provides useful information．Judging from the construction methods，settlement in the village can be divided into two separate periods：the initial settlement and a later one．”
    For the time being，much is up to guessing，but Toivari-Viitala believes that the coming four field seasons，three months each，will see results．
    “The working conditions are not nearly as difficult as I thought they would be． The cool winds in the mountains nicely alleviate the heat．”
    The research group working on the“Workmen’s huts in the Theban mountains”project is planning to return to the Valley of the Kings in October．
    71．What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．The hut village in the Valley of the Kings．
    B．The excavation of the tombs in the Valley．
    C．The archaeologists working on the excavation．

    A．It has been damaged a lot．
    B．It can tell us a lot about ancient Egypt．
    C．It has attracted archaeologists’attention．
    D．It has a lot of real treasures somewhere in it．
    73．What’s the new trend in archaeology right now according to Toivari-Viitala?
    A．Being interested in the tombs of kings．

    D．Guessing what the result will be beforehand．

    A．the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings
    B．the archaeologists working on the excavation of the village
    C．those in favour of Toivari-Viitala’s ideas and plans

    Experts say that agriculture provides fourteen percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions each year．The gases released include carbon dioxide, a major cause of global warming．
    Twenty-one nations around the world recently joined forces to better understand and prevent greenhouse gas emissions from farms．The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases was launched at the United Nations conference on climate change．The meeting took place in Copenhagen, Denmark last month．
    Agricultural experts blame a number of farm activities for producing greenhouse gases．For example, animal waste and cattle digestive systems release methane （甲烷，沼气） gas．Fertilized soil and the burning of crop waste also release harmful gases into the air．Experts say some methods of farming ?turning the soil to prepare for planting ?also release harmful carbon dioxide．

    Many people say that the United States is a paradise for the children, a struggling field for the youth and a tomb for the aged. However, the situation is quite different in Australia. Different people have their own ways for enjoyment and their own worlds of pastime.
    Most children often work hard in school since they have to face various exams. After school they do not want to confine themselves to books any more. Instead, they put aside their schoolbags at home and sneak quickly to some quiet street comers for their games. Bigger children like to shoulder their large kites to some steep cliffs, and jump to fly in the sky with their kites.
    Some old people often get up early in the morning and go to parks to do newspaper reading. After breakfast, they come to horse races, dog races and sometimes car races for betting. If he wins, he will feed himself a good dinner. In the evening, they stay at home, watching TV sometimes with grandchildren. Some of the aged also enjoy fishing and gardening.
    Young people prefer to go outing for holidays. At the weekends, they go to the seashore for swimming or to the forest for hunting and camping, or mountainous areas for picnicking. Then in the evenings on Sundays, they start their long bumper-to-bumper drive back on the highways. Nobody seems in a hurry.
    The Australian government also encourages its people to have more relaxation after work. Sometimes, certain kind of financial help is distributed to people going on holidays and public holidays are purposely set on Monday or Friday so that Australians may have a longer weekend for enjoyment. They think people can word better only after they get a full relaxation. And it grows out of this idea that relaxation comes the top priority(优先权)for enjoyment in Australia.
    60．According to many people’s opinion, which of the following is NOT true?
    A．All people in the US live a desirable life.
    B．The competition among American young people is fierce.
    C．The life of the American old people is very terrible.

    A．is not a paradise for children
    B．is not a struggling field for the youth
    C．is not a tomb for the aged
    D．has different worlds for different people
    62．There is an idea of enjoyment priority in Australia because____.
    A．enjoyment is more important than other aspects of life
    B．a full relaxation will make people work better
