BSeveral times my daughter had telephoned to say, Mum, you must come and see the daffodils(水仙花) before they are over. I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead. I will go next Tuesday, I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call. The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyns house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible(看不见的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see! My daughter smiled calmly and said, We drive in such weather all the time, Mum. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience. After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and on the far side of a small church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read Daffodil Garden. We got out of the car and each took a childs hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up amazed. Before me lay the most beautiful sight. Flows of flowers of different colors seemed poured down the peak and slopes. There were five acres of flowers! A sea of daffodil! It was like a fairyland all beyond description. But who has done this? I asked Carolyn. Its just one woman, Carolyn answered. Thats her home. Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio(露台), we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking was the headline. The first answer was a simple one. 50,000 bulbs(鳞茎) it read. The second answer was, One at a time, by one woman. The third answer was, Began in 1958. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begunone bulb at a timeto bring beauty and joy to this remote mountain top. Just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world where she lived and created something of magnificence, beauty, and inspiration. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small amounts of daily effort, we too can accomplish great things. Everyone can do something to change the world.25.

Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who cant find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But thats not the case. Not now and not ever.On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.Like most of economists, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers dont find each other seems obvious. You have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes. It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a framework to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and what can be done about it.So what would todays Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians lowering joblessness?Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Press the announcement came as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “It is very much based on our work,” he said.“One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they dont lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training it could be as simple as providing work experience.”29. According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs? A. It is always difficult to find a job. B. Everyone can find a job in good times. C. Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times. D. It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.30. What is it that lead to their winning the prize? A. They have found the reason for unemployment. B. They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment. C. They have found out why people dont want to be employed. D. They have long studied the problem of unemployment.31. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Pissarides thinks his work surprising. B. The work of Pissarides has influenced many economists. C. Some of the winners idea have been put into practice. D. It is probable that unemployed young people in Britain benefit from Pissarides work.32. What is effective in dealing with unemployment according to Pissarides? A. Spending large sums of money on training.B. Teaching some knowledge of economics. C. Providing work experience.D. Keeping people unemployed for some time.DUnder new rules posted by the Civil Aviation(航空) administration of China on Friday, pilots will have to pass a “level four” test of Mandarin Chinese, Chinas official language. Those who speak with an accent that “often impedes” comprehension will not pass. These rules take effect in January 2016.Chinas 56 ethnic groups speak more than 80 languages and dialects. Even native Mandarin speakers can have trouble communicating with each other depending on the strength of their accents, which can be mutually unintelligible(难理解的).One flight trainer illustrated the scope for linguistic confusion, especially when common English aviation terms are used. Asked if there is a problem on board, a Chinese pilot might answer in the negative with the words mei you, or “there isnt. But someone speaking with a heavy Sichuan accent would pronounce mei you as “May day” unconsciously parroting the universally recognized distress call(遇难信号). Like their international counterparts(对应物), Chinese aviators have developed codes to avoid confusion resulting from homonyms(同音异义字) or near-homonyms. They use the terms yao for one and guai for seven, which are otherwise pronounced yi and qi respectively and easily confused.The new rule could affect all pilots, who must renew their license every six years, and adds to a growing list of burdens for the profession. 33. What does the underlined word “impedes” in Para 1 mean?A. improves B. helpsC. misunderstandsD. limits34. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Sichuan dialect has the contrary meaning to Mandarin. B. Native Mandarin speakers can understand each other well. C. It isnt necessary for a pilot to pass the test before January 2016. D. “May day” is a distress call in our everyday life.35. What is the purpose of the Chinese aviators using the terms yao for one and guai for seven? A. To avoid confusion. B. To communicate with their international counterparts. C. To pass the test. D. To avoid their accents.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Chopsticks1.
