V egetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing

plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home

gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides

exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.

V egetable gardening agree that many home-grown vegetable are superior to those

purchased from markets. Form spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept

garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the

family diet.

Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later

date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage

In old days ,when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as distract the serious work of an office ,secretaries were men .

Then came the First Word War and the male secretaries were replaced by women .A man’s secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife’s birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the

telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to ;and ,of course ,typing and filing and taking shorthand.

Now aii this may be changing again .The microchip(芯片 and high technology is sweeping the British office ,taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书 work that

secretaries did .

“ Once office technology takes over generally, the status of th e job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again.‖

That was said by one of the executives.(male of one of the biggest secretarial

agencies in this country .What he has predicted is already under way in the U.S.

Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的 ,will there be

a male takeover ?Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the

better jobs .There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they – not just because they can buy negligees(妇女长睡衣for the boss’ s wife ,but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computer as men .

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage :

Humanity is a new experiment on plant Earth .For most of its history, life on Earth was

Restricted to the sea .Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400

million years ago ,

And humans have existed for no more than 3 million years .

Ones way to represent the evolution of life is to computer the 4.6-billion – year

history of earth into a 1-year – long film. In such a film Earth forms as the films

begins on January 1,and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered ( 变成坑状 and the first oceans form .But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April ,when the first living things develop.

The 4-billion – year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪 evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November ,when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites(三叶虫 .

If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals(哺乳动物 and birds flourish.

Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31,vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until

11:54 pm. The Christmas era begin only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.

11.In comparing all of Earth’s geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows______.

A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the scene

B. just simple it is to understand the history of Earth

C. just how early humanity appears on planet Earth

D. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth

12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms_____.

A. in the middle of December

B. when Earth is cratered

C. at the beginning of November

D. when the land is still a lifeless waste

13. It is indicated in the passage that_________.

A. Earth is cool at first

B. Earth is hot at the beginning

C. there are oceans at the beginning

D. there is life in the ocean in late February

14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs__________.

A. die out on December 25

B. appear after December 25

C. die out on December 24

A. a long time before the New Year

B. immediately after the New Year’s Day

C. just one second before the New Year

D. right on the New Year’s Day

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage :

Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking

the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the last

recession (经济萧条, when the “ benefits ” of online job searching were unavailable. “ A growing number of unemployed A mericans waste time browsing(浏览 the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes and then waiting for

replies .It is common for long-time joblessness,‖ argues Professor John A. Challenger .Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has

become the primary tool for many ,Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person .

In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process

longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000hiring managers by an online résumésite ,72% said that a majority of the résumé they received in response to an online job

posting did not match the position’s description.

“ The more unrelated résumé managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position ,‖points out

Challenger .‖One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers .This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview .‖

“ All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It

has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco ,for example ,to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has

reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.

”

“ Job seekers must learn how to use the Int ernet as a tool ,rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes.‖ Concludes Challenger. 16.According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings_________-

A. longer waiting time for the unemployed

B. longer computer technology training for the job seekers

C. more unemployment throughout the U.S.A

D. more job opportunities in the Internet world

17.Professor Challenger thinks ______should be considered more important by the unemployed.

A. browsing the Internet job sites

B. sending resumes by email

C. going to a traditional training center

D. meeting the potential employers in person

18.The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer

because________.

A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enough

B. there is a lot of false information on the Net

C. the hiring position cannot be fully described on the Net

D. it has drawn many unfitting résumés

19.It can be inferred that ―screening software ―in Paragraph 3 is used to ________.

A. draw more job seekers to the websites

B. get rid of some unrelated résumés

C. serve as a bridge between the job seekers and employers

D. provide the job seekers with more chances to visit the employers in person

20.According to the passage ,the Internet has revolutionized job hunting by
