He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place.A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff was concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.Every morning, the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise, and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities.No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. People in the trade say that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.51In the authors opinion, it is a pity that there are fewer old general stores now because _.Athere is less trading businessBthere used to be more social activities in the old daysCthe supermarket manager has more problems than beforeDthere is less personal contact between manager and customer.52In what way has the job of the store manager changed?AHe doesnt sell tea and washing-powder any more.BHe has a much larger staff to take care of to say nothing of all the other daily problems of running the store.CHe must try hard to remember the names of his regular customers.DHe has to give advice and make decisions when problems arise.53Who are Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones mentioned in the first paragraph?AThey are friends of the store managersBThey are shop assistants.CThey are both regular customers of the store.DThey represent any of the regular customers of the old general store.54The supermarket manager is compared to _ by the author.Aan orchestra conductorBa traffic supervisorCa military leader Da school inspectorBMy grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, Im sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,” The war is over. ”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didnt last a tiny bit longer.55. What the grandfather was most worried about was .A. the spread of the world warB. the safety of his two cousinsC. a drop in his living standardsD. his relatives killing each other56. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “ “A. order for army service B. train ticket for EuropeC. letter of rejection D. note of warning57.

Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?A. Disappointing. B. Unexpected. C. Uncertain. D. Inspiring.CAbout one million years ago, the Ice Age began. The Ice Age was a long period of time in which four great glaciers（冰川）pushed southward to cover almost all the upper half of North America, and then melted away. Each glacier was a thick sheet of ice and snow that spread out from a center near what is now Hudson Bay in Canada. The winters were long, and the cool summers were too short to melt much of the ice and snow. The ever-growing sheet built up to a thickness of two miles at its center.As all glaciers do, these great glaciers slid. They pushed down giant trees in their paths and scraped（刮削）the earth bare of soil. Many animals moved farther south to escape. Others stayed and were destroyed.When winters of little snow came, the summer cut into the edges of the ice sheets. As the glaciers melted, rocks soil and other things that had mixed with the ice and snow were left. New hills , lakes and rivers were formed.The last of the great glaciers began its melting about 11,000 years ago. Its melting formed the Great Lakes. These lakes today are little changed from their early sizes and shapes. The largest of the North American river systems was also influenced by the glaciers. This is the Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio system. These rivers were miles wide at first. Through the years they settled into their present channels.59. The main idea of this passage is _ .A. the ice Age was a long period of time.B. great glaciers covered North American many years ago.C. changes in climate helped to melt the glaciersD. how glaciers changed North America60.

No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new Landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their kind for 50 years. To the researchers surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages, on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme. Ks5uEver since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated（没收）on arrival north of the border, and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology（心理）of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out:“Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than pets or valuable collectables. ” Ks5uNow that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point: conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds. Ks5uResearch on parrots is
