    　　Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida's weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings' expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year.
    　　But Ed has to fight against Florida's changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed's entire orange, crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing， Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer (层)of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.
    　　What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method(方法)to save many orange crops.
    　　But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees' branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.
    　　Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can tell when temperatures drop to freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and we'll all have the benefits(or advantages)of computer-age oranges.
    1. The passage is mainly about _____ .
    A.a farmer's expert care for his orange trees 
    B. the different uses of computers
    　C. growing oranges in Florida's changeable weather
    　D. different ways of frost protection
    2. Ed tried to protect his crop by _____ .
    　A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold air
    　B. equipping his orange trees with a computer
    C. watering it at the proper time 
    D. picking his fruit at the first sign of frost
    3. In the writer's eyes, computers _____ .
    A.are too expensive for small farmers
    B. can be a valuable tool for the farmer
    　C. can be used to help oranges grow bigger    
    　D. cannot take the place of the farmer's experience and judgement
    4. Which of the following is NOT NECESSARY for Ed Rawlings to do?
    　　A. He should water the orange trees as soon as the temperature drops to the
    　　　 freezing point.
    　　B. He should decide the quantity of water for the orange trees.
    　　C. He has to water the orange trees more often in January and February.
    　　D. He has to judge how often he should water the orange trees.
    5. According to the passage, the computer technology can _____ .
    A.get rid of the need for frost protection 
    B. help the farmer get a better harvest
    　C. tell the farmer why outdoor temperature changes
    D. prevent the temperature from dropping to the freezing point

    第三节：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
    请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    Strong winds, sand in the air, poor visibility (能见度), we all know the characteristics of a sandstorm. But what else do you know about them?
    Did you know, for example, that the first sandstorm of 2009 hit north China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region late February?
    Sandstorms are today a feature of life in northern China because of desertification (沙漠化) and the retreat (退化) of the northern grasslands. They usually occur between February and May.
    Fortunately, sandstorms this year should be fewer than in past years in north China, according to the National Meteorological Center (中央气象台).
    And the chances of sandstorms hitting Beijing are small, because recent rain has stopped drought and reduced dry dirt and dust. Tree planting, and other measures taken by the government, has also helped decrease the chance of sandstorms in the city.
    Sandstorms can be dangerous. However, there are measures you can take to protect yourself from harm.
    ﹡Wear a mask. Cover your nose and mouth with a mask that can keep out sand, or use a damp handkerchief.
    ﹡If you are driving and the storm is at a distance, it may be possible to outrun (超过) it. If it looks like you will be caught in the storm, stop and wait it out.
    ﹡Take a cover. If there is no shelter, then lie down. Keep eyes, nose and mouth covered. Cover your head with your arms or a backpack to protect yourself against flying objects.
    If you are caught in a desert sandstorm, take the following actions.
    ﹡Mark your direction before lying down. It is easy to get lost in a desert.
    ﹡Keep plenty of water at hand. If you get lost, you need water to survive until you find your way or help arrives.
    ﹡Stay together if traveling in a group. Lock arms if caught in a sandstorm. The most useful measure would actually be to make sandstorms disappear forever. To make this goal come true, people should plant trees, and stop desertification.
    Today, the straight-line distance between Tiananmen Square and a desert called Tianmo in Hebei province is only about 80km. If desertification is not stopped, environmental protection experts say, it will probably not be long before Beijingers can catch a camel to work.
    56.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
    A. So far in 2009 no sandstorm has happened.
    B. Sandstorms usually happen in spring.
    C. Sandstorms are a feature of life in China.
    D. In sandstorms in cities, what you need to protect yourself from is just the sand in the air.
    57.Which may not be the right action to take to protect yourself from harm in a sandstorm?
    A. Finding a shelter.
    B. Covering your head with a bag.
    C. Lying down.
    D. When driving, speed up and rush through the sandstorm.
    58.What can we infer from the passage ?
    A. North China has been suffering from sandstorms for several years.
    B. The distance between Beijing and the desert has made the chances of sandstorms hitting Beijing small this year.
    C. Planting trees can help make sandstorms disappear.
    D. It is more dangerous to be caught in sandstorms in cities because there are more flying objects.
    59.What’s the best title of the passage?
    A. The realities of sandstorm                          B. The cause of sandstorm.
    C. The influences of sandstorm                       D. The future of sandstorm.

    What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow，orange，red? If you do，you must be an optimist，a leader，an active person who enjoys life，people and excitement．Do you prefer grey and blues?

    B
    Most American kids love Halloween treats, but a bucket of Halloween candy can be a dentist’s nightmare. Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed, but dentists say parents also need to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad.
    It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters, but how much time it stays in his mouth. According to pediatric dentist Dr. Kaneta Lott, the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or very hard and thus stays in the mouth for a long time. This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths. When we eat, the bacteria take our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface of the teeth, causing cavities to form. The longer the food stays in the mouth, the more likely cavities will develop. Therefore, potato chips are worse than candy because they get stuck between teeth. For the same reason, raisins and crackers are not the best choice. Hard candies take a long time to consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats
    If children really love candy, dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard candies, chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth. Besides, chocolate contains tannins, which help to kill some of the bacteria in the mouth. But no matter what a child eats, brushing after each meal is still the best way to fight cavities.
    55．What is the main purpose of this passage?
    A. To discuss how cavities can be treated.
    B. To point out the problems with Halloween celebrations.
    C. To tell parents what sweets are less damaging to their children’s teeth.
    D. To teach parents the meaning of Halloween candies for their children.
    56．Why are hard candies especially bad for teeth?
    A. They may break the child’s teeth.
    B. They contain too much sugar.
    C. They help bacteria to produce tannins.
    D. They stay in the mouth for a long time.
    57．According to the passage, which of the following is a better choice for Halloween treats?
    A. Chocolate.                     B. Crackers.                        C. raisins.                            D. Potato chips.
    58．According to the passage, which of the following is true of tannins?
    A. They are produced when the bacteria digest the food.
    B. They help to get rid of some bacteria in the mouth.
    C. They help chocolate to dissolve more quickly.
    D. They destroy the surface of the teeth.

    Hidden in our subconsciousness (潜意识) is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
    But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw（拼图玩具） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道), condemning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
    “When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 38.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I have paid off the!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! ”
    Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
    “Relish(appreciate) the moment” is a good motto, actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
    So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
    小题1:Why does the author describe the mental picture?
    A．To lead us into a perfect world.B．To let people enjoy the scenery.
    C．To introduce an actual trip of his.D．To compare it to our life’s journey.
    小题2:How do people feel when they’re on their trip?
    A．Puzzled.B．Happy.C．Relaxed.D．Impatient.
    小题3:What does the author mean by “Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today” in Line 2 Paragraph 5?
    A．Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.
    B．We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.
    C．regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
    D．We’re frequently challenged by the two : regret and fear.
    小题4:Why does the author write the passage?
    A．To teach us a good lesson.B．To tell us the right attitude to life.
    C．To advice us to forget our worries.D．To stop us wandering along the aisles.
