was in a rush as always but this time it was for an important date I just couldn t be late for I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries A PhD student with not a lot of money I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers I was in a huge rush thinking of my upcoming evening I did not want to be late for this date We were in Boston a place not always known for small conversation between strangers The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me She smiled It was a nice smile warm and reassuring and I returned her gift by smiling back Must be a special lady whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers she said Yes she s special I said and then to my embarrassment the words kept coming out It s only our second date but somehow I am just having the feeling she s the one jokingly I added The only problem is that I can t figure out why she d want to date a guy like me Well I think she s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her the woman said My husband used to bring me flowers every week even when times were tough and we didn t have much money Those were incredible days he was very romantic and of course I miss him since he s passed away I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her I touched her on the shoulder and 4 said You were right you know These flowers are indeed for a very special lady I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased You have a wonderful evening I said I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story A couple of years later when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her that was the night that I won her heart 56 Why was the writer in a hurry that day A He had to go back to school soon B He was

involve ecology friendly or charity activities A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the stone time StayStay inin a a NationalNational ParkPark For those who want to relax in a rural environment a national park fits the bill Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers Several have cabins 小屋 within the parks available to rent A getaway to a national park provides privacy stress relief and the time to get to know some important natural resources 60 The underlined word getaway in this passage most probably means A an exciting exploration B an interesting location C an unforgettable experience D a short vacation 61 It can be learned from the text that A spas are offered in the tourist attractions all over the country B people may get close to nature in a national park C intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from home D helping others at weekend makes people feel more stressful 62 Which of the following can be rented in a national park A Trailers B Cabins C Camping areas D Tents 63 The best title of the passage can be A Away front Our Busy Work B Good Ways to Relieve Stress D Long Weekend Getaway Ideas D Enjoy Life and Help Others C C However important school life may be we can t ignore the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom Therefore the great influence of parents can t be ignored or discounted by the teacher They can become strong 6 supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in schools Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program and developmental math Moreover the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they should do The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils progress can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night In a friendly interview the teacher can help the parent change his method He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget buying the food using a measuring cup at home setting the clock calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis If the father follows the advice it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in math and at the same time enjoying the work Too often however teachers conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of children s wrong doing complaints about laziness and poor work habits and suggestions for punishments and rewards at home What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher as a professional advisor plants ideas in parents minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom In this way the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters competence 64 The underlined phrase keep parents apprised of in Para 2 probably means to let parents A judge B develop C design D know 65 What is the purpose of the schools informal tea and interviews A To improve the relationship between teachers and parents B To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum C To help develop good communication between school and home D To report students misdoings and suggestions for punishments 66 Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4 A To show how the teacher can guide in home training B To help parents know the importance of home activities C To prove parents are non professional advisors D To advise parents to teach kids math at home 67 From the passage we learn that the author A is worried about children s performance at home 7 B is satisfied with the present state of school education C believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted D thinks teachers should do better as professionals D D The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 to 1999 as temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased But a new study in Friday s edition of the journal Science found a drought related decline in such plant growth from 2000 to 2009 even though temperatures continued to climb As drought caused by warming reduces the land s ability to take in carbon the result could be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere and thus more warming Zhao Maosheng from the University of Montana explained in a telephone interview This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve plant growth co author Steven Running also from the University of Moutaua said in a statement We see this as a bit of a surprise and potentially significant on a policy level because previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the world he said Instead he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1 compared to a 6 increase in the past decade Their study based on the data collected by NASA satellites found that north areas continued to increase plant growth thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season Someone commented This past decade s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a complex relationship between temperature rainfall cloudiness and carbon dioxide probably in combination with other factors such as nutrients and land management will determine future patterns and trends in productivity 68 From the first paragraph we can learn in the recent decade or so A the emission of carbon hasn t been reduced B the rise of temperature doesn t promote the plant growth C drought has been causing loss of soil and water D carbon dioxide levels have been rising 69 Zhao Maosheng really worried that A more and more land will be abandoned B the emission of carbon dioxide increases C the climate becomes warmer and warmer D drought further reduces the number of the plants 70 We can infer from the passage that A various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity B global warming will determine the future productivity C earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade D temperature rise has had no effect on future productivity patterns 8 第四节 共5小题 每小题2分 满分l0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 Now it is job hunting season again The job fairs flood with hundreds and thousands of 2011 graduate students Owing to the global financial crisis most of the graduate students admit that job hunting is not that easy It is always a painful process for college students to find jobs 71 However job positions are quite limited In order to get a job the candidates should be more competitive than ever before A Chinese expert predicted that the job hunting pressure in China with a rocketing increase in the active labor force would reach its climax in 2006 Yet this situation continues in 2010 In order to transfer the human resources that are more than needed or wanted to the less developed areas in China the government has tried to launch a series of policies to help release the pressure 72 73 A higher education may be more helpful to find a good job in the future while the temptation of an exciting job and the strong will of being a real adult urge the youth to step into society early For
