His early options were limited and he could hardly dream about starting an international business. In 1961, the whole family was left with no income because his father broke an ankle working as a truck driver. Watching his father lying on the bed with his leg in a cast, Schultz decided to do something different in life. Schultz played football in high school and managed to get an athletic scholarship to Northern Michigan University. He became the firstcollege graduate in his family.Schultz’s first job after finishing school was in sales at Xerox, where he was supposed to sell word processors. Then he took another job in sales at Hammarplast, a housewares (家居用品) business. However, he grew impatient with these two jobs soon. Schultz first came across Starbucks while still working for Hammarplast. He was struck by the passion(热情) of the founders Gerald Baldwin and Gordon Bowker and their courage in selling the product that would appeal only to a specific niche(市场定位) of coffee enthusiasts. It took a whole year for Schultz to persuade Baldwin and Bowker to hire him as the head of marketing. The new position meant that Schultz was going to travel around the world and represent Starbucks.His fate changed when the company sent him to an international housewares exhibition in Milan. Schultz had an epiphany(顿悟) when he saw the Italian espresso tradition. The people in Italy had a personal relationship with coffee.Schultz came back to America with new ideas. He wanted to replicate the Italian tradition in Starbucks. The founders felt differently. He then decided to leave Starbucks to start his own coffee company. The new company caught on quickly. Eventually, it managed to buy Starbucks. Schultz became the CEO of Starbucks Corporation and he is one of the wealthiest people on the planet.4.What can be inferred from Paragraph2?A.Schultz wasn’t well paid at Xerox.B.Schultz himself is a coffee enthusiast.C.Schultz wasn’t satisfied with his first two jobs.D.Schultz had made a success of his housewares business.5. What was the turning point in Schultz’s career?A.Starting his own coffee company.B.Meeting the founders of Starbucks.C.Going to an international exhibition in Milan.D.Becoming the head of marketing of Starbuck.6.What does the underlined word“replicate” in the last paragraph mean?A.AppreciateB.Copy.C.ObserveD.Record7.What message is conveyed in the text?A. Every coin has two sides.B.Life is just the luck of the draw.C.Nothing succeeds like success.D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.CIn an effort to create more environmentally friendly vacations, Norwegian cruise operator (挪威邮轮公司) Hurtigruten is making a plan to power its ships using dead fish. This doesn’t mean that Norwegian cruise liners will be doubling as fishing ships; the dead fish will come from Norway’s good fishing industry, not as any sort of by-product of the cruise industry. But it s a plan that promises to make use of the leftovers and offcuts of the fishing industry to make shipping less wasteful.So how do dead fish get transformed into fuel? Organic waste of any kind can be mixed to produce a type of fuel known as biogas(沼气). If it sounds smelly, well…it is, and not just because of the dead fish. Biogas can also have small amounts of hydrogen sulphide, a chemical compound, which can give it a bad egg smell. It’s not a particularly attractive process, but don’ t worry: those smells won’t be given off from your cruise ship’s exhaust. The raw materials in the biogas can be cleaned, which creates liquid biogas.What others see as a problem, we see as a resource and a solution, said Daniel Skjeldam Hurtigruten chief executive."By introducing biogas as fuel for cruise ships, Hurtigruten will be the first cruise company to power ships with fossil-free(无化石的)fuel”Biogas is certainly cleaner than heavy oil, but it s not exactly carbon-free. So while the plan might be a creative way of making use of organic waste, as well as helping to get rid of fossil fuels, it’s not a perfect solution. However, it’s at least a step in a better direction. And the company will also be stopping single-use plastics on its 17 cruise ships. It’s good to see change happening in a dirty industry.8.What kind of dead fish will be used in the plan?A.Those from tourists.B.Those from restaurants.C.Those from the cruise industry.D.Those from the fishing industry.9.What is the limitation of the plan?A.Biogas is smellier than heavy oil.B.The making of biogas isn’t cost-savingC.Biogas burning produces chemicals containing carbon.D.The raw materials are not enough to cover the needs.10.What does the author think of Hurtigruten’s plan?A.It is all talk.B.It will be of some help.C.It is daring.D.It will cause a debate.11.What would be the best title for this text?A.Dead fish will soon make powerB.Norway’s fishing industry meets a challengeC.Smelly biogas has caused new problemsD.Hurtigruten points out the world resource issueDMost of us learned what we know about eye color from a chart in grade-school biology. You know two blue-eyed parents are going to have blue-eyed kids. But the story of how eye color is passed down is more complicated(复杂的) than we’re taught.Humans get their eye color from melanin(黑色素), which also determines skin and hair shades. Melanin is good at absorbing light, which is especially important for the iris(虹膜), the function of which is to control how much brightness can enter the eyes. Once it passes through the irises, the majority of the visible light goes to the retina(视网膜), where it’s translated into images by the brain. The little that isn’t absorbed by the iris is reflected back, producing what we see as eye color. That color depends on the kind and amount of melanin a person is born with.Though we used to think eye color just came from a simple pattern of inheritance (遗传), in recent years scientists have found that it’s also shaped by many genes acting together. What’s more, tiny changes, or mutations(突变), in a gene can result in different shades in the iris.The two genes currently thought to be most strongly linked with human eye color are OCA2 and HERC2. OCA2, the gene we used to think was the only player in eye color, controls the production of the P-protein and the organelles that make and transport melanin. Different mutations in the OCA2 gene increase or decrease the amount of protein that’s produced in the body, changing how much melanin is sent to the irises. The HERC2 gene, meanwhile, acts like a helicopter parent (直升机父母) for OCA2. Different mutations in this gene act as a switch that turns OCA2 on and off and determines how much P-protein it produces.Those are just the two genes we know about in detail so far. Newer studies have linked as many as 16 genes to eye color, all of which pair with OCA2 and HERC2 to generate different iris colors and patterns. With all these genes and their structural changes, it’s hard to say for sure what a child’s eye color will be based on their parents’.12.Which of the following shows how light reaches the brain?A.The irises→melanin→the brain.B.The retina→melanin→the brain.C.The irises→the retina→the brain.D.The retina- the irises -the brain.13.What’s the connection between OCA2and HERC2according to the text?A.OCA2is controlled by HERC2.B.OCA2can be changed into HERC2C.Both can make and transport melaninD.Both are the cause of mutations in genes.14. Which of the following can determine a person s eye color?A.Different colors received by the retina.B.A lot of genes as well as their mutationsC.The amount of protein the person has in his or her body.D.OCA2and how much melanin it produces and transports.15.What does the text mainly discuss?A.Whether the melanin plays a key role in mutations.B.Whether oCA2and HERC2can influence each other.C.Whether melanin results in different shades in the iris.D.Whether your eye color just comes from your parents.第二节七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
