glanced toward the cashier. there stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. i thought, well, hes an old guy!for the next few minutes i watched him. he greeted every customer before scanning the items. sure, his words were the usual, “hows it going？” but he did something differenthe actually listened to people. then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation. i thought it was odd. i has grown accustomed to people asking me how i was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. after a while, you dont give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. i could say, “i just found out i have six months to live，” and someone would reply, “have a great day！”but that wasnt the end. he gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. he looked the customers in the eyes. “i sure want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them. “you have a great day. byebye.”the looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. there were smiles and some sheepish grins. all had been touched by his simple gestureand in a place they never expected. they would gather their things and walk out, smiling. of course, he did the same to me and i got to know his namemarty. who was that guy? it was as if sam walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guys body. i had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.36the checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because _athe cashier couldnt work as fast as othersbthere were some big purchasescthe cashier did more than scanning the itemsdthe writer was not patient enough37according to the writer, when common people ask you “hows it going？” _athey dont really care what you may answerbthey are just practicing their conversation abilitycthey are inquiring about your private informationdthey dont expect to hear any negative answers38what was most customers reaction to martys behavior?athey thought it priceless. bthey were in some way moved.cthey thought it awful and odd. dthey felt somewhat offended.39what can we infer about sam walton?ahe might be martys father or grandfather.bhe might be friendly and devoted to walmart.che might have died while working in the market.dhe might have come back from the dead once before.40what does the writer intend to express through the text?aour everyday life is always full of surprises.bmost customers enjoy being treated this way.cbeing different is a good way of doing business.da little positive action can make a big difference.balthough the united states covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most americans do not live in small towns any more. half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs, of more than a million people eacha larger proportion than in germany or england, let alone france). the statistics(统计数据)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. as the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. but more and more typical americans live in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.41if now america has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?aabout 25 million. bmore than 25 million.cless than 25 million. dless than 225 million.42which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?aunited states. bgermany.cfrance. dengland.43whats the meaning of the underlined word “metropolitan”？aof a large city with its suburbs. bof small and large towns.cof urban areas. dof rural areas.44according to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the united states?amost small towns become gradually crowded.bsmall towns are still similar to each other.cas the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.dsmall towns are turning into large cities.45why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?abecause they are the same.bbecause the rush takes place too quickly.cbecause the process is gradual.dbecause more and more americans live in metropolitan areas.cthe african elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to african ecosystem (生态系统). unlike other animals, the african elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. as a big planteater, it largely shapes the forestandsavanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.it is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. in its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. this results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the african savannas. in these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other planteaters.take the rain forests for example. in their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. by pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. in such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well.what worries scientists now is that the african elephant has become an endangered species. if the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.46what is the passage mainly about?adisappearance of african elephants.bforests and savannas as habitats for african elephants.cthe effect of african elephants search for food.dthe eating habit of african elephants.47what does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?afixing the time. bworsening the state.cimproving the quality. ddeciding the conditions.48what do we know about the open spaces in the passage?athey result from the destruction of rain forests.bthey provide food mainly for african elephants.cthey are home to many endangered animals.dthey are attractive to planteating animals of different kinds.49according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?athe african elephant is the largest animal on earth.bafrican elephants have 300 pounds of plants every day, including small trees and underbushes.cthe african elephant is in a way the builder of the environment like other land animals.dif the african elephant disappears, the whole ecosystem wont be affected.50the passage is developed mainly by _ashowing the effect and then explaining the causesbpointing out similarities and differencescdescribing the changes in space orderdgiving examplespart writing (45 marks)section a

have been studying the reasons why some people dont like the taste of certain vegetables. they found that people inherit(遗传)some genes from their parents that cause them to like or dislike certain vegetables.in their research about tastes, scientists found that there are three types of people in the world. first, there are nontasters, who are not very sensitive to sweettasting foods or bittertasting foods. the people of the second type are just called tasters, and those of the third are supertasters who are very sensitive to sweet and bitter flavors. children of the third type, who are supertasters, will probably not like vegetables such as broccoli and brussels sprout because of their bitter tas
