II. 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

A

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan 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 $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their startup 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 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 learnin g by trial and error.

But the partners' learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. “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 Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain.

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away fr om your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusand such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.

31．In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.

A．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves

B．readers to try to be popular with people around

C．parents to try to control and guide their children

D．people to try to understand and respect each other

32．The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.

A．growing away from their parents B．following the popularity trend

C．walking a new way on their own D．turning to their friends for help

33．The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.

A．the distractive and variable society B．the dazzling music world

C．the parental care and love D．the popularity wave in the society

34．What does the author think of advertisements?

A．Convincing. B．Instructive. C．Influential. D．Authoritative.

35．According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?

A．He/She falls behind the time. B．He/She loses good friends.

C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism. D．He/She gains valuable popularity.
