A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mothers Day, another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears, which is a period of reduced trade and business activity, and increasing food and gasoline prices. “If you look at what has happened on Valentines Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Beder, an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mothers Day will probably be a slow quarter, too.” US floral sales for Mothers Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to 2 billion, with consumers spending an average of 17.65, according to the National Federation estimates. Mothers Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers. But this year, the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower salesand has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mothers Day. Last month, Soto, who also operates website , closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.56 The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means .A. sharp decrease in price B. great fear for losing jobsC. global worry of floral stores D. sudden fall by a large amount57. According to the author, Mothers Day should be an occasion of .A. a large family get-together B. a big annual holiday purchaseC. a great love showed to mothers D. a celebration among Americans58. This passage implies that Americans have .A. met financial problems recentlyB. no longer bought flowers for mothersC. delivered flowers to every house for mothersD. cut back on spending because of having lost jobs59. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Hard time coming nearerB. Mothers Day and crisisC. Sorry mom, love you but no flowersD. Holiday purchases have a hard timeBStudent participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the students oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.A professors teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professors point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are “practical” rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.60. “Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student” in many courses except in .A. science and mathematics B. the humanities and social sciencesC. informal lecture courses D. discussion courses61. From the passage we know that education in the humanities and society .A. has not changed much B. pay attention to students studying instead of teachers teachingC. is much more important than that of science and mathematicsD. has become more practical than theoretical62. The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that .A. these professors are often not well prepared before class B. these professors want to stress “doing”C. these professors want to test the students abilities D. these professors are not willing to teach theory63. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?A. Student participation is not common in the classroom in many courses like society.B. Some professors want to control the classroom discussion in their teaching.C. Some professors in science usually want the students to take part in their teaching.D. New educational trends have turned up in teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry.CAlthough they may not die from lack of love, adults also need a great amount of affection(友情) and companionship. In the past, many people spent their entire lives in the communities in which they were born and raised. Many more people continued to live with their parents, brothers and sisters after they were married and had children of their own. By remaining in familiar communities with relatives nearby, families had enough opportunities for friendly contact and for support in time of trouble.Recent studies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few centuries as is generally believed. Yet most sociologists agree that in modern societies, there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from relatives outside the immediate family. Parents and children often live apart from other relatives, and seldom visit them. Also, the family moves when a parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better neighborhood. Together, loneliness and mobility(迁移) force immediate family members to depend heavily on one another for affection and companionship.Because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modern societies, a high percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying. On the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husbands or wifes emotional needs are not met within the family circle even if all other family functions are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the standard of the modern family.64. It is generally believed that .A. many people spend their lives in familiar communitiesB. a person can easily get in touch with relatives in times of difficultyC. the organization of the family in western society has changed a great dealD. western societies have not changed much in the past few years65. Sociological studies show that .A. the more the family moves, the less support it gets from its distant relativesB. parents and children live together to make up for the lack of relatives outside the familyC. family arrangements have changed and so there is little need for companion of relativesD. family members are separated from each other because of lack of support from relatives66. In the passage, the writer mainly wants to say .A. affection and companionship are important for the family and they can be gained from nowhere but the familyB. affection and companionship may come from the family and at the same time safeguard the familyC. there are a few ways to gain affection and companionship but the most important way is from the family.D. in modern societies a lot of families break up and its just for a lack of affection and companionshipDI came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Greek and Grass Greek. Others came too, and we made these little grey houses of logs that you see, and they are square. It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square. You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the respectful circle of the nation, and so long as the circle was unbroken, the people were getting rich. The flowering tree was the living center of the circle, and the circle of the four quarters nursed it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave war
