Our city is in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the center of China. There are a lot of places of interest around it. Millions of visitors come to our city every year.

“Excuse me,” said a yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ung man, standing shyly at the open church door. “I am here to pick up an Easter basket for my daughter. Am I in the right place?” “Well, we have baskets, but they are not Easter baskets for kids; they're food baskets,” I explained.21cnjy.com
That morning I arrive ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d at St. Michael's Church in Carmichael, California to help give the baskets to needy families for Easter. To make sure every family would receive one, we had handed out numbers to them that matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a whole ham, potatoes, bread, vegetables, and a pie — enough food to help feed a family for a week.
“Why don't you come in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )?” I said to the man. He looked disappointed. He shook his head and said, “I can't ... My daughter is waiting for me over there. I am grateful for the food, but when I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter .... Well, I thought they would be Easter baskets for children.” He continued, “I promised my daughter one, and I wanted to surprise her.”
I felt bad, but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) there was nothing I could do. The man handed me his number,and I walked over to the baskets. A bulge in one of the baskets caught my eye. “What is that?” I wondered. Leaning over and looking more closely, I could see, unmistakably, an Easter basket — filled with candy, chocolate, and Easter eggs. One of the volunteers must have added it by mistake! I thought. Then I looked at the man's number in my hand. Well, he'll be ...
“Happy Easter,” I said ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the man, handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside — the very same basket with his number on it. “Someone knew just what you needed.”

B
The tea gardens in S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ri Lanka are actually large estates (种植园). The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots,or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.
Practically all t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plants, which are the parts used for processing (加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.
Processing tea sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out on shelves to dry. This process removes much of their water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both colour and taste.
Then the leave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are spread out on floors and left to ferment (发酵) under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the dried leaves with a hot air blower until they become rolled up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.
25. In the first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) paragraph, the underlined word “pruning” means “________”.
A. regular cutting of the plants
B. frequent watering
C. regular use of chemicals
D. growing the plants high in the mountain
答案与解析 A 由第一段“The p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high.”可知为“修剪”之意。
26. One of the rea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sons why women are employed to do the picking is that ________.
A. they work harder than men do in the picking
B. they can throw their pickings more easily into the baskets
C. their fingers fit them better for the job
D. they can more easily find the twin leaves
答案与解析 C 由第二段第三句“T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heir thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves ...”可知。
27. How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph
A. Three. B. Four.
C. Five. D. Six.
答案与解析 C 由最后一段内容可知。
28. What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage
A. To introduce various methods of tea processing.
B. To persuade readers to buy tea from Sri Lanka.
C. To tell a story that have happened in the tea gardens.
D. To inform readers of tea growing, picking and processing.
答案与解析 D 由文章的主题大意可判断。
C
Imagine that you l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ive on a street where there are broken windows, graffiti painted on buildings, and waste on the ground. Would this environment lead to other acts of property damage or crime 21教育网
European research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers say the answer is yes. The researchers say they found strong evidence that shows disorder can lead people to carrying out criminal acts or bad behavior. The researchers work at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. They reported their findings in Science Magazine last November. Their report is called The Spreading of Disorder.
The idea of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )observing disorder has an effect on people's behavior is not new. In 1982, American researchers James Wilson and George Kelling wrote a report describing what they called the broken windows theory. They believed that signs of crime, such as broken windows in a building, led to other acts of crime.
In the 1990s, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) New York City officials started a campaign to remove signs of disorder like broken windows, graffiti markings, and rubbish. Soon, the rate of minor crimes in New York began to drop. Other cities around the world also began to use this crime fighting method.
But the broken w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )indows theory was also questioned. Experts said there was still no experimental evidence to prove that the drop in crime was a direct result of efforts to clean up city neighborhoods.
They said other i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nfluences could also have caused the drop in crime. Moreover, the broken windows theory did not fully examine the exact conditions of disorders that appeared to lead to crime.
The study from the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Netherlands now provides the experimental information to support the broken windows theory.
29.The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “graffiti” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. rude drawings
B. formal displays
C. public signs
D. interesting advertisements
答案与解析 A 根据句中的broken windows和waste on the ground可推断, graffiti“涂画;涂鸦”。21·世纪*教育网
30.Other cities followed New York's example because ________.
A. there was no crime in New York at that time
B. there were fewer crimes in New York after the campaign was started
C. the rate of minor crimes in New York fell to its lowest level ever
D. the environment in New York was relatively clean
答案与解析 B 根据第四段Soon, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the rate of minor crimes in New York began to drop可知,答案为B。
31.What can we k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )now about the experts questioning the broken windows theory
A. They didn't agree to take rubbish away from cities.
B. They thought other influences contributed to the drop in crime.
C. They thought cleaning up city neighborhoods was useless.
D. They have written an article about questioning the theory.
答案与解析 B 根据第六 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段They said other influences could also have caused the drop in crime.可知,答案为B。
32.The author of this passage mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. some efforts should be made to punish those who commit a crime
B. more evidence should be provided to support the theory
C. signs of disorder can lead to criminal acts
D. acts of property damage or crime are common
答案与解析 C 通读全文内容和第二段.. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). shows disorder can lead people to carrying out criminal acts or bad behavior可知,答案为C。
D
The weather is v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ery important to farmers. The calendar might say“August”, but the weather's more like October. For some farmers the cool weather is a good thing. For others, it's a cause for concern.
At Apple Hill, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he cooler weather was giving the Boeger Winery a chance to concentrate on bottling instead of picking. “Things were really maturing,it has just been a welcome relief to have more time to prepare,”said Greg Boeger of Boeger Winery.
But down in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the Delta, the earlier hot weather has them two weeks ahead of schedule. Their harvest actually started on Tuesday, and this cooling trend is a worry. There have been no problems yet, but for each of the last two years heavy rain right after Labor Day was a problem, one that Don Pylman would not like to see repeated.
“If it doesn't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )start raining, we're in good shape,” said Pylman. “If the sun comes out and clears up we can get right back to work, but if we do get rain, the rots will start.”
The kind of gra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pe (葡萄) makes a difference as well. Thinskinned grapes like the chardonnay variety are much more sensitive to rain than some of the others. They're also more difficult to dry off.
33. The weather change ________.
A. shows that the calendar lacks science
B. does good to farmers
C. shows that the globe is more and more warming
D. doesn't always make farmers worried
答案与解析 D 参见第一段第三句话。
34. From the second paragraph we know the Boeger Winery ________.
A. isn't prepared for the weather change
B. has his wine bottled earlier than usual
C. has no chance to pick the grape
D. in fact,doesn't welcome the weather change
答案与解析 B 第二段的第一句话说,天气转凉使他们有更多的时间来做葡萄酒,而往年这时他们还在摘葡萄。
35. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d “them” in the third paragraph refers to “________”.
A. the grapes
B. the family of Winery
C. the farmers at Apple Hill
D. the farmers in the Delta
答案与解析 D 这句话的意思是说,天气比往年转冷的要早,这使得三角洲的农民计划不得不提前两周。

答案与解析
41.C 圣诞节的前五天,我的同事 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )们都在兴奋地讨论他们的节日计划。express“表达”通常不与plan连用;同事们不会都改变计划,不符合常理;announce一般用于宣布重大的事情。
42.D 同事问我节日期间有 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )没有什么特殊的安排,从下文可知,我的节假日仍然是在打工,所以没有什么特殊安排,故我的反应应该是摇头。其他选项都不符合上下文的文意。21世纪教育网版权所有
43.B 我远离家乡追寻着做护士的理想。satisfaction“满意”,demand“要求”都与pursue不能搭配。www.21-cn-jy.com
44.A 由第42空后的another waitress可知作者晚上要在餐馆打工做服务生。maid“女仆”,不用于指餐馆中的服务员。
45.B 我一直都期待着假日,但这次无法去度假了。其他选项都表示否定,和后面的but不能顺接。
46.D 之所以无法过这个假期,是因为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )租金、教科书和其他的花费使我的钱所剩无几了。other表“其他的”,与文意不符;rest一般不作形容词。2-1-c-n-j-y
47.C 根据常识,服务生一般在休息时才交 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )谈。on the way“在路上”;on duty“值班”。没有on one's work的用法。
48.C 当她从我旁边经过时询问我是否能顶替她。两个人一直在进行对话,所以只能是她从旁边经过时。其他选项都与逻辑和文章不符。
49.A 前面Mavis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )说让“我”顶替她,这里就是又补充了一句,故用By the way“顺便说一句”。空前后两句话不是表示相反、强调和转折的逻辑关系。
50.B 他一直坐在那儿一个多小时,没有制造任何麻烦也没有点吃的东西。由下文的“just sitting alone”可排除其他选项。
51.D 他一直在一个人坐着,又没点东西才说他好像在等某个人。
52.B 他一直坐着也没有点吃的,所以说他好像在等人。long for“渴望”,不如等某人更符合“只坐着而不点吃的”的状态。
53.D 上一段中Mavis说5号桌那坐着一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )位客人,这里作者向角落里看了看,确实看到有一个年轻人在那里,故选D项。Sure enough“的的确确”。“兴奋地”“幸运地”“拼命地”都与文意不符。
54.A 由后面的a worn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) shirt, and a black baseball cap可知应该用穿着。dressed in sth.可以表达穿着某件衣服。用wore的话,应该把后面的in去掉。
55.A 我过去竭力保持微笑着同这位男士说话。force在这里表示“强装出来”。contribute a smile不符合搭配。
56.B 我正要准备走开时,这位男子说话 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了。when和过去将来时连用表示“正要……那时……”while虽然也有“当……的时候”,但一般不与过去将来时连用,其后面常接一般进行时态。
57.A 虽然他柔和而低声地说话 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),但我还是能很清楚地听到,说明这个餐馆很安静。wonderful“极好的”,餐馆很好和作者能听到小的声音没有必然的联系。
58.A 土豆片是菜单上最便宜的东西,自己将不能得到很多小费。所以说自己的心沉了一下。heart和beat常连用,但不符合此处语境。
59.B 按照常识,在餐馆 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )里,顾客要了最便宜的菜,侍者自然会得到很少的小费。pay“工资”,prize“奖金”,一般不用于餐馆顾客给服务生的额外的奖励。
60.C 因为确实知道他的感受,所以我尽最大努力使他感觉好一点。其他选项不符合正确的逻辑关系。
