The quiet and soft movement of the little flowers as they danced in the breeze just make me pause for a moment. I looked at them moving gently from one side to another in the breeze as if they were alive and happy. I was thinking about what it would be like to make another human being alive and happy like those lilacs.It was Mothers Day, and I live many continents away from my mother. I thought about my neighbor, who is a mother too. As a matter of fact, she was a mother of two children. I hurriedly went back home with my new idea unfolding in my mind. I looked through my yellow pages quickly, located the nearest flower sellers, and made sure that they had fresh flowers to sell with which I was able to add love and a bright feel to warm a mothers heart.Collecting a bouquet of sunshine yellow daffodils(水仙花),I opened the door of my neighbor, the door of a mother, the door of someone who smiled and hugged me and held my hand tightly with great joy. Such a short moment of exchange in a doorway made a mother dance with life and I have to thank the little lilacs for that moment!9. The view of the lilacs made the author_.A. want to delight someone B. want to dance like the lilacsC. think of her own loneliness D. miss her parents in a faraway place10. What do the underlined word “new idea” in the Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Collecting flowers for her mother living away.B. Leaving the gathering in advance and hurrying home.C. Saying thanks to the neighbor for the ride.D. Giving the neighbor flowers as a present for Mothers Day.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Love goes beyond border B. Love the flower, love the branchC. Lilac-produced idea bring warmth D. Memories brought back by lilacsDTaste is such subjective matter that we do not usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyones preference is that its one persons opinion. But because the two big cola companies - Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, weve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought theyd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 to 27 identified all four samples correctly.While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round tasting as on the first, so tiredness or taste burnout was not a factor. Our preference test result suggests that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.12. According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to_.A. show that a persons opinion about taste is mere guess-workB. show which cola is the more liking of the drinkersC. find out the role taste preference plays in a persons choice of drinkingD. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks13. It is implied in the first paragraph that _.A. the competition between the two colas is very strongB. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companiesC. the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colasD. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans14. The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that_.A. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are peoples two favorite drinksB. few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from PepsiC. peoples tastes differ from one anotherD. there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi15. The authors purpose in writing this passage is to _A. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategyB. show that taste preference is highly subjectiveC. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each otherD. recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。Most students have had a love-hate experience with procrastination（拖延）.
