8、pay was far better. George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town.

9、he company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well.

This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. 2 An i

15、mportant thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations(康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12oC than when kept at 260c. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably

16、 the most im 职称英语等级考试综合类B级真题 portant aspect of flower care. 3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen

17、 and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is

18、heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respir

19、ation. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly. 5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality o

20、f the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlori

21、ne bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach(at 4% solution) be added to each litre of water.

23、rld In the last 500 years, nothing about people-not their clothes, ideas, or languageshas changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree（可可树）by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And a

24、lthough it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. I

25、reland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine(饥饿)”of 18451846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But s

26、ome others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s. According to an A

27、rabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with. 31 According to the passage, which of the fo

28、llowing has changed the most in the last 500 years? A Food B Clothing C Ideology D Language 32 “some” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to A some cocoa trees B some chocolate drinks. C some shops D some South American Indians 33 Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato F

29、amine” because A they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything else B they were forced to leave their homeland and move to America C the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoes D the potato harvest was bad 34 Which country is the largest coffee pro

30、ducer? A Brazil B Colombia C Ethiopia E Egypt 35 Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage? A. One third of the worlds population drinks coffee. B. Coffee is native to Colombia C. Coffee can keep one awake. D. Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs. 其次篇 Teaching poetry

31、No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discus 职称英语等级考试综合类B级真题 sion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears

32、of it. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviou

33、sly a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting(背诵) it. I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our g

34、oals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “ can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it present

35、ly occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thing s about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must mak

36、e room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it. 36 To have a better understanding of a poem, one should A discuss it with others. B analyze it by oneself. C copy it down in a notebook D practise reading it aloud 37 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poe

37、try? A Extending your life. B Saving your life. C Criticizing life. D Heightening life. 38 According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students A to understand life. B to enjoy poetry. C to become teachers. D to become poets 39 What does the last sentence in the third

38、paragraph imply? A More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry. B Poetry is more important than any other subject. C One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry D Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses 40 The phrase “make room” in the last paragra

39、ph could be best replaced by A “build a booth” B “provide equipment”. C “leave a certain amount of time”. D “set aside enough space”. 第三篇 “ Salty” Rice Plant Boosts Harvests British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their

40、 work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more. Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universitys School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty. The pair have recently begun a three-y

41、ear programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice. It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares(公顷) of agricultural

42、land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts(阻碍生长)plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves(红树林) that create swamps（沼泽） and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water ta

43、ble to drop, allowing sea water to seep(渗透)in. in Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated(蒸发) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop the

44、m drawing up the water they need to survive. To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little slat and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but

45、it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use. Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to natur

46、e will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world. 41 Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true? A They are students at Sussex University. B They are rice breeders. C They are husband and wife. D They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning. 42 Flowers and Yeo have started a programme A to fi
