Rose oil is called liquid(液体) gold and used in making soaps, chocolates, and even some kinds of liqueur(甜酒).The first records about growing roses on Bulgarian land go back many centuries. The area called the Rose Valley is between the cities of Kazanlak and Karlovo in central Bulgaria.The roses seem to love the soil and climate there. The rose is the most important plant grown in Bulgaria which could be called the country of the roses. The rose plantations in the Rose Valley are the largest in the world. Much of the population in the Rose Valley works in some ways in the rose industry. In Bulgaria, they produce rose oil, rose water and other products. The main flower grown is the Kazanlak rose, famous around the world.The oil is prepared by a process of distillation(蒸馏). Each flower is picked by hand, and you need 3,000 kilos to make one kilo of rose oil. That means about 30 flowers for just one tiny(很小的) drop of oil. So you can understand why its so expensive.Each year on the first weekend in June, theres a Festival of Roses in Kazanlak with many programs. The Queen of Roses is chosen as part of the summer festival. After her coronation(加冕典礼), she honors the most skillful pickers of roses in the harvest.The festival is an old tradition and goes back more than a century. Today it also includes an International Folklore Festival and attracts many tourists. The festival ends through the Kazanlak streets at noon and a concert in the evening.36.

But we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. Because man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average(平均), man is about 3 inches taller. 500 years is a relatively(相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a lot. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we will have to use our brains more and more and finally we will need larger ones! It is likely to bring about a physical change,too. The head, especially the forehead(前额), will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time, it is possible that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive(敏感的) because they are used a lot in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether as time goes on because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps all this gives the idea that future man will not be a very attractive person to look at! This may be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.41. How many aspects(方面) are talked about in the passage that future man is probably going to be different from us today? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.42. What does the word brain mean in Chinese? A. 头 B. 大脑 C. 身体 D. 下巴43. How much brains capacity of a person hasnt been used now? A. About 20%. B. About 80%. C. About 3%. D. About 500%.44. Why are our arms and legs likely to grow weaker? A. Because we make less use of them.B. Because they are used a lot. C. Because they dont serve a useful purpose any longer. D. Because we dont need them any more.45. Which of the following statements is True about man in the future? A. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. B. His fingers will grow stronger because he often uses them in modern life. C. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful. D. He will think and feel in a different way. 第II卷非选择题（共51分）四、填空（共16小题；每小题1分，满分16分）A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。46. Designers need to d
