In Kansas at the turn of the century, Edwin and Amy Earhar doted on （溺爱）their active daughters, Amelia and Muriel. Edwin gave the girls footballs and rifles, while Amy shocked the community by dressing them in gym suits instead of skirts. Edwin's job caused the family to move from town to town, and the girls’ interest in rough sports and shooting rats raised eyebrows wherever they went.
Amelia's parents did not pressure her to reform as she grew older, even when she dabbled（轻率地对待） in the domains of science and automobile mechanics. But in 1920, when she went aloft（在空中） at an air show and returned home determined to learn how to fly, even her liberal Parents hesitated.

Decades before the American Revolution of 1776, Jesse Fish, a native New Yorker, retreated to an Island off St. Augustine, Florida, to escape an unpleasant family situation. In time he became Florida’s first orange baron(巨商) and his oranges were in great demand in London throughout the 1770s. The English found them juicy and sweet and preferred them to other varieties, even though they had thin skins and were hard to peel.
There would probably have been other successful commercial growers before Fish if Florida had not been under Spanish rule for some two hundred years. Columbus first brought seeds for citrus（柑桔）trees to the New World and planted them in the Antilles. But most likely it was Pone de Leon who introduced oranges to the North American continent when he discovered Florida in 1513. For a time, each Spanish sailor on a ship bound for America was required by law to carry one hundred seeds with him. Later because seeds tended to dry out, all Spanish ships were required to carry young orange trees. The Spaniards planted citrus trees only for medicinal purposes, however. They saw no need to start commercial groves(园林) because oranges were so abundant in Spain.
59.What is the main topic of the passage?
A.The role of Florida in the American Revolution.
B.The discovery of Florida by Ponce de Leon in 1513.
C.The history of the cultivation of oranges in Florida.
D.The popularity of Florida oranges in London in the 1770s.
60.Jesse Fish went to Florida to _________.
A.grow oranges commercially
B.buy an island off St. Augustine
C.get away from his family
D.work for the British government
61.Londoners liked the oranges grown by Jesse Fish because they_______
A.had a lot of juice B.were not too sweet
C.were not hard to peel D.had thin skins
62.According to the passage, Spanish vessels began to bring orange tree seedlings to North America when ________.
A.the United States agricultural laws were revised
B.ambitious sailors began to transport seeds secretly
C.doctors reported a lack of medical supplies
D.authorities realized that seeds did not travel well
63.According to the passage Florida oranges were valued by the Spanish primarily ________.
A.as a medium of exchange
B.for their unusual seeds
C.for their medical use
D.as a source of food for sailors

Employees need several kinds of satisfactions if they are to remain productive and
enthusiastic in industry. They need to know that their working conditions are safe and adequate for the kind of work they do. Also, they need reasonable hours of work in order to make their jobs acceptable. If they must work overtime several nights a week, their take-home pay may be higher, but their efficiency and feelings about their jobs will decline（下降）.
In addition to agreeable working conditions, employees need to have adequate compensation
(补偿) for the work they do. Today potential employees also examine the benefits package management offers to compare them with other companies. If one company offers stocks, insurance, vacations, and even child care, other industries must follow suit, or they lose out on hiring the best employees.
Adequacy of working conditions and financial compensation are hardly enough, however, to keep employees satisfied for long. Employees also need to feel confident of management’s abilities to organize the company. The employer who pays well and has a new modern plant to display their product may still lose the loyalty and devotion of employees through lack of attention to details and disorganization. One recent research study showed that more than half the small businesses failed not due to lack of money but due to the employer’s lack of management skill.
67.Which of the following could probably be the main idea of this passage?
A.Employees can improve their income in many ways.
B.Employees can hardly be satisfied.
C.Employers should be skillful in management.
D.Job satisfaction is tied to benefits
68.The writer of this passage advises that_________.
A.employers should pay their employees as much as possible
B.employees should know about their working conditions clearly
C.normal working hours are good for keeping efficiency
D.safety is the chief concern in improving working conditions
69.Today’s employees know how to protect their benefits by _________.
A.making comparisons between different companies
B.examining their agreements with the employer
C.asking for compensation for what they do
D.changing their jobs more often than before
70.If a company wants to hire excellent employees, it should __________.
A.offer agreeable working conditions to its employees
B.examine its employees and make selection strictly
C.take great care of the welfare of their employees
D.catch up with other companies in providing other benefits than wages
71.The most important thing for a company to keep its employees loyal and energetic is _______.
A.to raise their salary from time to time
B.to maintain an effective management
C.to be skillful in organizing their work
D.to pay attention to the development of products
E
Underground water reserves in eastern England are critically low and for some people water
restrictions may only be days away. Areas affected include East Sussex, Kent and Essex. East Anglia is among the worst hit areas, with the situation in Lincolnshire “particularly acute (严重)”.
Yorkshire Water is still trying to recover from a drought last year and water is being pumped from the west of the country to the east to cope with an acute shortage.
The concern over areas which depend heavily on underground water reserves is also reported in the New Civil Engineer. It suggests that ground water levels have sunk to a record low and river flows have fallen as Britain recorded its third lowest rainfall for March and April this century. The journal also claims that some areas could be facing the worst drought in memory.
The problems stem from the dry winter of 1988-89 which preceded (先于) a long summer of drought followed by barely average rainfall in the East of England last winter.
A spokesman for the Water Authorities Association said areas dependent on surface water had made up for two years of dry weather while areas dependent on underground water reserves had never totally recovered.
“I know that some of the water companies in these areas are already giving warnings to customers to use water sensibly as they are already in some difficulty.”
72.What happened in East Anglia?
A. Water restrictions. B. A severe shortage of water supply.
C. Recovery from a drought. D. Overflow of underground water.
73.From the passage, we learn that before Britain reported its third lowest rainfall________.
A.there was likely to be no rain for a long time
B.there was likely to be an average rainfall
C.underground and surface water was adequate
D.surface water was short but underground water adequate
74.From the spokesman, we can infer that _________.
A.generally Britain has much rainfall all the year round
B.usually after March or April it begins to rain in Britain
C.in the worst hit areas underground water remains acute
D.some areas have failed to pump water from the west to the east
75.What does the writer try to tell us?
A.Water Authorities Association gives a call to East Britain.
B.Some water companies are in difficulty.
C.East Britain faces early water restrictions.
D.The drought will continue for a long time.

(Text 10)
My wife and I occasionally go to a nice restaurant to eat. My wife’s mother lives with us and she stays with the children. This makes it very easy for us to go out for the evening.
Last week we went to the restaurant in a new hotel. We had a wonderful meal. First, we had soup and a salad. Then Helen, my wife, had mutton with peas and carrots, and I had beef steak with potatoes. For dessert, I had some ice cream and Helen had fresh fruit. We had several cups of coffee after we finished eating. The food was delicious, the quantity was large, and it wasn’t too expensive.
Our children don’t like to eat in restaurants because they have to sit and be quiet for a long time. They would rather go to their grandmother’s farm. Their grandmother—my mother prepares everything they like. She usually has fried chicken, corn, and hot biscuits with honey. She always serves plenty of chocolate ice cream and cake for dessert.
I’m always surprised that my father doesn’t weigh a lot more when I see how much he eats. But he works very hard on the farm from about 5 o’clock in the morning until it gets dark in the evening.
When my parents visit us in the city, we usually take them to a restaurant. I know they enjoy it, but my father always eats something else after he gets home. The quantity may be large in the restaurant, but it is still not large enough for a hungry farmer.

Possible version :
In order to improve our city’s street conditions, it is suggested that we should limit the numbers of cars and bicycles. I think it is unwise to do so. First, it will bring a lot of inconvenience for those who live far away from the bus routes. You know, many people are now living in the suburbs. They have to travel to and from work by car or by bicycle. Second, we must protect the just rights and interests of all citizens. Everyone has rights to choose his own transport. What’s more, there will be less air pollution in our district by cycling to work.
