哈尔滨2013高考英语：阅读理解训练（5）及答案或解析
阅读细节理解篇***[201**·深圳第二次调研]
词数：258 体裁：记叙文 难度：3
I was working as a consultant in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents form and carry out their new planning projects. It was really a great challenge.
At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn’t want to bother the president with my situation, yet I felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.
A few days later, the president called me into his office.
I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked me in the eye and said, “I hear your mother is very ill”.
I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside(平息), and then gently said a sentence I will never forget: Whatever you need.
That was it. His understanding and his willingness both to let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of sympathy that I carry with me to this day.

词数：451 体裁：议论文 难度：4
Nothing says love like a dozen long – stemmed roses on Valentine’s Day. More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers, the biggest day of the year for the nation’s rose industry. It’s going to remain the most popular flower because love never goes out of style.
Yes, a rose is a rose. But selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy and discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money. Roses only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the’ 90s.
Inside this store on Sixth Avenue near 40 th Street, contemporary white furniture and wall – to – wall mirrors give it an expensive look. Customers move about freely among the counters, looking eagerly at the roses in more than 50 colors from shelf to shelf. Some customers say it’s the high quality of the roses that attracts them there. “I spent $ 20 but the flowers looked like I paid 60 or 70 dollars,” says one customer.
Studies show more people are buying roses in ones, two and threes these days. In fact, more than half of all roses are sold in bunches of fewer than a dozen. But Roses Only's low prices encourage people to spend. Even on Valentine's Day, when the price of a dozen roses and delivery can soar as high as $150, 12 of Roses Only's most expensive flowers sell for just $35. The company's key to success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains. In addition, the company also sells other items such as ballons and stuffed animals.
While discount rose retailers are witnessing their business bloom, U.S. rose growers aren’t able to compete with the fierce foreign competition. More than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia and Ecuador, which accounted for almost 90% of the total imported last year. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers such as Johnson Flowers of California, considered to be this country's leading producer.
Now, instead of fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. "We have a few big fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. “We may also widen our business to include the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers.”
As a result of severe competition, those in the rose business long for the good old days, whereas ordinary people benefit from the low price.
53. What is the central theme of this text?
A．The US rose business is going from bad to worse in spite of the efforts made.
B．The rose will remain the most popular flower as love never goes out of date.
C．The rose business is trying to meet the challenges in the market to succeed.
D．The rose industry plays an important role in American economy.
53C考查主旨要义。根据文意2、3、4改变销售方法促销，5、6说明与国外生产商既竞争又合作，
这些都表明玫瑰商想方设法迎接挑战取得成功。
54．How does Roses Only obtain success in the discount rose retailing field?
A．By setting up more chain stores across the country.
B．By selling roses in supermarkets.
C．By selling high quality roses at a low price.
D．By selling roses by the dozen.

It’s time to stop complaining about the economy．Here’s why．At no other time in the recent history has it been easier or cheaper to start a new kind of company，possibly a very profitable company．Let’s call these start-ups LILOs，short for “a little in，a lot out”．These are Web-based businesses that cost almost nothing to get off the ground yet can turn into great moneymakers．In addition，launching such a company now will make your company stronger later—you’ll learn to survive in hard times until the economy improves．
That’s what John Tayman is doing．He’s an author who lives in San Francisco，where I met him；he wrote reviews for a business magazine I edited．Tayman knew little about technology and even less about business，but he dreamed of a website that would summarize car reviews from other sources and rank every model of new cars．
Tayman said he intended to build the site on the side while continuing to write for a living．He worked on his new company only at night and on weekends．Oh，yes，he had only about $ 10,000． “Good luck with that！” I thought．Ideas are much easier to hatch than they are to execute．
Tayman went to work with nothing more than his PowerBook laptop．On a website called 37 signals．com he learned about the virtues of lightweight programming languages like Ruby on Rails，which are ideal for the project he planned．He visited the RentACoder．com and Elance．com where you can find software developers．He picked up the special terms he needed to describe his project so he could put it out for a bid，and he found his first programmer—in Ukraine—who agreed to start building the digital scaffolding (脚手架) for the site．Within months，Tayman had 20 employees working for him in five different countries．“In fact，I hadn’t even met the guy who built most of the site until the launch party，” he says．
MotorMouths．com went live in January．Tayman figures he works about 10 hours a week on it and hasn’t spent a cent on marketing or advertising．Growth is modest but steady—nearly 10,000 people visit each week，he says，all of whom get there by the word of mouth and via a software “bot” that lets users of Twitter，the popular micromessaging service，request reviews．
The cost to Tayman？“Almost $ 9,800，all in，” he said．As for revenue，he just sold his first display ad，for，well，the low three figures．“But it’s a start，and we’ve already reached ‘ramen profitability’．” He spends about $ 75 a month on server fees and other expenses．
The term “ramen profitable” was coined by Paul Graham，a Silicon Valley start-up investor．It means that your start-up is self-sustaining and can create enough profit to keep you alive on instant noodles while your business gains strength．
1．What does “LILO” mean?
A．It requires a large amount of money to launch a company．
B．It can enjoy many governments’ favorable policies．
C．The cost to launch a company is low but the profit can be high．
D．It doesn’t need any space or money to establish a company．
2．What is Tayman doing for a living now?
A．Offering new ideas to business companies．
B．Writing reviews for a business magazine．
C．Improving the design of modern cars．
D．Applying new technology to car production．
3．According to the passage，“Ruby on Rails” might be ．
A．a lightweight programming language
B．a new type of PowerBook laptop
C．a website to find software developers
D．a website for foreign language learning
4．What website has Tayman launched?
