阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
There is something hard to resist cherries(樱桃). The small red fruit is a popular seasonal food around the world. The cherry is a member of the same family of plants as the rose. It is closely related to the plum. Like cherry trees, plum trees also flower in early spring.
Cherries are thought to be native to western Asia. There are two major kinds of cherries harvested in the world: sweet and sour.
Sour cherries are not eaten fresh because they contain little sugar. Instead, they are processed to make prepared foods like jellies and pies to make alcohol drinks. The United States is a major producer of sour cherries. Among the states, Michigan is the top producer. Russia, Poland and Turkey are other important cherry-producing nations.
Sweet cherries contain much more sugar than their sour relatives and are usually eaten fresh. Washington State is the biggest American producer, followed by California and Oregan. The United States, Iran and Turkey are major producers of sweet cherries.
Fresh cherries do not store well. They must reach the market as soon as possible. So they cost much more than many other kinds of fresh fruit.
Farmers produce different kinds of cherries through the process of grafting(嫁接). They take cutting from existing trees and join them to related trees, known as root stock, the cuttings, called scions, grow into the root stock, so the two kinds of trees grow as one.
Cherries trees are also valued for their springtime blossoms. They are popular in many parts of Asia and Europe. But Washington D. C. has some of the most famous cherry trees in the world. Japan gave the United States three thousand cherry trees in 1912. There were twelve different kinds of cherry trees but most were a kind called Yoshino.
Years later, Japan gave another gift of three thousand eight hundred trees. In the early 1980s, the United States provided Japan with cuttings from the Yoshino trees in Washington. These cuttings helped replace Japanese trees lost in a flood.
46. From the passage we know that the home to the cherry is _______.
A. the United States B. Europe C. western Asia D. Russia
47. Which of the following statements is TRUE
Cherries are easily and cheap to transport.
The United States, Iran and Turkey are the major producers of sour cherries.
The cherry is related to the rose and plum.
Cherries can be developed from any existing plants.
48. We can learn from the passage that the cherries are used for ______.
A. eating B. watching C. trading D. both eating and watching
49. According to the passage, the United States and Japan exchanged cherries in order to _____.
A. offer help B. show friendship C. make money D. make an apology
50. What happened in Japan in the early 1980s
A. Some cherry trees were flooded B. The US gave them a lot of cherry trees
C. They lost all their cherry trees D. They gave the US 3000 cherry trees.
B
Grandmothers and rocking chairs, old ladies and their cats---- these are images associated with knitting(编织). But today teenagers are taking up the old art and turning it into a popular, trendy hobby.
Ten years ago, one rarely heard of a young person who knew how to knit, and it could be hard to find yarn(纱) for sale. Not so now.
Anel Aguayo, known as “the yarn lady” at Beverly Fabrics in San Jose, California, says that knitting yarn “sells faster than I can put it out.” She sees kids as young as 11 or 12 years old buying knitting materials in her crowded department. Cassie Marshall, a 14-year-old high school girl in San Jose, began knitting two years ago when her grandmother taught her.
“Often in classes people are knitting instead of doing homework,” she said. A club at her school sold student-knit items to raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief. Some kids started knitting before it became popular.
Lacey Cope, a student at Lincoln High School in San Jose, began to knit at 12. “ It was relaxing and gave me something to do with my hands,” Cope says. “ And I love crafts(手工艺)”. Cope has noticed the sudden popularity of her hobby. “It would drive me crazy to see people attempting to knit. Now I like it when people are trying, but only if they are trying for themselves, not because it is popular.” She learned to knit from the Internet. She finds patterns and buys yarn through eBay. Rudolf Steiner, founder of Waldorf Schools where knitting is a part of the curriculum(课程), believes that knitting helps children learn hand-eye co-ordination(协调) and improve their academic skills.
51. The underlined word “trendy” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A. relaxed B. happy C. popular D. personal
52 .We can infer from the passage that 10 years ago________.
A. few people knitted B. women liked knitting
C. shopping was difficult D. people knitted in rocking chairs
53.Which of the following might be a title for the passage
A. Internet and Knitting B. Crafts as a Part of the Curriculum
C. Student- Knit Items D. New Trendy Hobby for Teens
54.Which of the following is not a reason for teens to take up knitting
A. Yarn is fashionable B. It is relaxing
C. Others’ influence D. Their work might help others
55._______ students were taken as examples in the passage.
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
C
In Western countries people have been using the installment(分期付款) plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U.S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.
The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest(利息). The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment(首次付款)when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.
Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression(经济大萧条). This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.
56. Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan
A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.
B. More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments.
C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.
D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.
57. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because ________.
A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interest
B. the delivery of the goods charges extra money
C. the buyer has to pay a down payment
D. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money
58. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments
A. He might lose his job. B. He will stop owning the item he has bought.
C. He will have to sell what he has bought. D. He will go into debt.
59. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that ________.
A. purchasing power is strengthened
B. employment might be increased
C. people develop a good habit of saving money
D. young couples are able to furnish their homes
60. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to ________.
A. increase employment
B. avoid depressions
C. ensure that businesses make good profits
D. ensure that people can pay for what hey buy

Attitude Decides Everything
Three brothers, who worked for the same company, got different wages due to their different attitudes towards their work, which shows right attitude is beneficial to one’s life.
Their different attitudes towards their work result in their different wages. From the story we that those taking a positive attitude towards work will be rewarded.
Different attitudes lead to different results. Xiao Hua is my classmate. He not only puts his heart into study but is also helpful both to teachers and students. So he has become a top student in our class. With his diligence and concentration, he is bound to succeed in entering his ideal university. However, another classmate, Xiao Li, never cares more about playing games than his study; he never follows the teachers’ advice. As a result, he falls far behind others.
In my opinion, attitude is everything. Whatever you do, you must do it well even if you may fail many times. Sooner or later you will be rewarded for your positive attitude towards your work or life.

There is something hard to resist cherries(樱桃). The small red fruit is a popular seasonal food around the world. The cherry is a member of the same family of plants as the rose. It is closely related to the plum. Like cherry trees, plum trees also flower in early spring.
Cherries are thought to be native to western Asia. There are two major kinds of cherries harvested in the world: sweet and sour.
Sour cherries are not eaten fresh because they contain little sugar. Instead, they are processed to make prepared foods like jellies and pies to make alcohol drinks. The United States is a major producer of sour cherries. Among the states, Michigan is the top producer. Russia, Poland and Turkey are other important cherry-producing nations.
Sweet cherries contain much more sugar than their sour relatives and are usually eaten fresh. Washington State is the biggest American producer, followed by California and Oregan. The United States, Iran and Turkey are major producers of sweet cherries.
Fresh cherries do not store well. They must reach the market as soon as possible. So they cost much more than many other kinds of fresh fruit.
Farmers produce different kinds of cherries through the process of grafting(嫁接). They take cutting from existing trees and join them to related trees, known as root stock, the cuttings, called scions, grow into the root stock, so the two kinds of trees grow as one.
Cherries trees are also valued for their springtime blossoms. They are popular in many parts of Asia and Europe. But Washington D. C. has some of the most famous cherry trees in the world. Japan gave the United States three thousand cherry trees in 1912. There were twelve different kinds of cherry trees but most were a kind called Yoshino.
Years later, Japan gave another gift of three thousand eight hundred trees. In the early 1980s, the United States provided Japan with cuttings from the Yoshino trees in Washington. These cuttings helped replace Japanese trees lost in a flood.
46. From the passage we know that the home to the cherry is _______.
A. the United States B. Europe C. western Asia D. Russia
47. Which of the following statements is TRUE
Cherries are easily and cheap to transport.
The United States, Iran and Turkey are the major producers of sour cherries.
The cherry is related to the rose and plum.
Cherries can be developed from any existing plants.
48. We can learn from the passage that the cherries are used for ______.
A. eating B. watching C. trading D. both eating and watching
49. According to the passage, the United States and Japan exchanged cherries in order to _____.
A. offer help B. show friendship C. make money D. make an apology
50. What happened in Japan in the early 1980s

Grandmothers and rocking chairs, old ladies and their cats---- these are images associated with knitting(编织). But today teenagers are taking up the old art and turning it into a popular, trendy hobby.
Ten years ago, one rarely heard of a young person who knew how to knit, and it could be hard to find yarn(纱) for sale. Not so now.
Anel Aguayo, known as “the yarn lady” at Beverly Fabrics in San Jose, California, says that knitting yarn “sells faster than I can put it out.” She sees kids as young as 11 or 12 years old buying knitting materials in her crowded department. Cassie Marshall, a 14-year-old high school girl in San Jose, began knitting two years ago when her grandmother taught her.
“Often in classes people are knitting instead of doing homework,” she said. A club at her school sold student-knit items to raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief. Some kids started knitting before it became popular.
Lacey Cope, a student at Lincoln High School in San Jose, began to knit at 12. “ It was relaxing and gave me something to do with my hands,” Cope says. “ And I love crafts(手工艺)”. Cope has noticed the sudden popularity of her hobby. “It would drive me crazy to see people attempting to knit. Now I like it when people are trying, but only if they are trying for themselves, not because it is popular.” She learned to knit from the Internet. She finds patterns and buys yarn through eBay. Rudolf Steiner, founder of Waldorf Schools where knitting is a part of the curriculum(课程), believes that knitting helps children learn hand-eye co-ordination(协调) and improve their academic skills.
51. The underlined word “trendy” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A. relaxed B. happy C. popular D. personal
52 .We can infer from the passage that 10 years ago________.
A. few people knitted B. women liked knitting
C. shopping was difficult D. people knitted in rocking chairs
53.Which of the following might be a title for the passage
A. Internet and Knitting B. Crafts as a Part of the Curriculum
C. Student- Knit Items D. New Trendy Hobby for Teens
54.Which of the following is not a reason for teens to take up knitting
A. Yarn is fashionable B. It is relaxing
C. Others’ influence D. Their work might help others
55._______ students were taken as examples in the passage.
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
C
In Western countries people have been using the installment(分期付款) plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U.S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.
The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest(利息). The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment(首次付款)when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.
Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression(经济大萧条). This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.
56. Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan
A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.
B. More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments.
C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.
D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.
57. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because ________.
A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interest
B. the delivery of the goods charges extra money
C. the buyer has to pay a down payment
D. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money
58. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments
A. He might lose his job. B. He will stop owning the item he has bought.
C. He will have to sell what he has bought. D. He will go into debt.
59. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that ________.
A. purchasing power is strengthened
B. employment might be increased
C. people develop a good habit of saving money
D. young couples are able to furnish their homes
60. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to ________.
A. increase employment
B. avoid depressions
C. ensure that businesses make good profits
D. ensure that people can pay for what hey buy

Attitude Decides Everything
Three brothers, who worked for the same company, got different wages due to their different attitudes towards their work, which shows right attitude is beneficial to one’s life.
Their different attitudes towards their work result in their different wages. From the story we that those taking a positive attitude towards work will be rewarded.
Different attitudes lead to different results. Xiao Hua is my classmate. He not only puts his heart into study but is also helpful both to teachers and students. So he has become a top student in our class. With his diligence and concentration, he is bound to succeed in entering his ideal university. However, another classmate, Xiao Li, never cares more about playing games than his study; he never follows the teachers’ advice. As a result, he falls far behind others.
In my opinion, attitude is everything. Whatever you do, you must do it well even if you may fail many times. Sooner or later you will be rewarded for your positive attitude towards your work or life.
