Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden’s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.

The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree’s branches were drying up.

Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette（小胡瓜）, understood what was going on, and decided

to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow... He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.

They should really learn how to live in harmony）with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, and help each other instead of fighting, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.

19. From the passage, what can we learn?

C. The tree and vegetables got along well with each other at first.

D. The gardener was satisfied with his work on the garden.

20. What drew the garden’s owner’s attention to the field again?

A. That the gardener stopped watering them.

B. That the courgette understood what was happening.

C. That they could live together.

D. That they could take part in the contest.

22. How can one live in harmony with others according to the passage?

Wrist watches are regarded as a tool to tell the time. At first, watches were created as women’s decorative bracelets (手镯). At the same time, men used pocket watches. The first men’s wrist watch was available i n 1904. A pilot called Alberto Santos-Dumont personally asked a watchmaker to create a wrist watch to use on flights. Soon after that, men’s wrist watches were available on the market. Since then, watches have been considered fashionable accessories for men, and watchmakers have started to make men’s fashion watches.

At present, watches are not indispensable to tell the time for most people have cell phones which have watch functions. But a new market has been created for wrist watches, which are not only used to tell the time, but also as important fashion statement pieces.

Generally speaking, watches for formal occasions are beautifully made and more like pieces of jewelry than watches. Men’s watches for informal and semi-formal events include simple, slim designs and large-and-thick-sized styles. Nowadays, men usually don’t follow any specific style of dress for watches, and the luxury brands of the expensive and strongly made sports watches have made them believe that they look more stylish because of their high prices. Some of the fashion watches have a diamond and some others are completely decorated with precious stones such as diamonds.

Men’s watches also have many advanced functions. For example, the dual-time watches for travelers make them know the time in most other countries as well as the time in their home if they are abroad.

In a word, a men’s watch is one of the few accessories for men’s cupboard. Men can choose their most suitable watches to go with their personal taste.

23. According to the first paragraph, the first men’s wrist watch _________.

A. was used by a pilot on flights

B. was not only a tool to tell the time

C. was viewed as a symbol of fashion

D. was created as a decorative bracelet

24. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. necessary

B. useful

C. dependable

D. popular

25. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Men’s pocket watches came after men’s wrist watches.

B. Those touring abroad will find a dual-time watch useful.

C. Watches with advanced functions are always expensive.

D. Men’s watches for informal occasions appear like jewels.

26. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A. The Brief History of Men’s Watches

B. Advanced Functions of M en’s Watches

C. Men’s Watches—Fashion Statement Pieces

D. How to Choose a Stylish Men’s Watch

C

A golf tournament (锦标赛) isn’t held every day and thus, as an organizer, you have to put on a great show for those who wait for it.

Preparations before the Tournament

An important thing you need to note down at this stage here is that once you start advertising an event, the event has actually begun for the audience. At this stage, you need to decide what you are going to call this event. You should make the name and the advertisement special, so that people will give them a second look. Depending on your economic situation, you need to decide whether you want to hold this event for amateurs or for experts. The next thing is to choose a proper place to hold the tournament.

Plan of Action during the Event

While the players are on court, you have to make sure that everything they might need is made available to them. Since golf is a sport that is played in the open, guests should be given drinks from time to time, preferably a drink of their choice. There should also be enough dustbins to keep the court clean. The things the guests need, from extra equipment to drinks, should not be put off for any reason. Announcement of some contests, lucky draws and prizes during the event will add to the entertainment of the tournament. Another one of the successful golf tournament

ideas is an auction (拍卖) of some particular things during the game. You can get some equipment signed from the players.

Post Tournament Necessities

Now that the tournament is over, you need to keep a small after-party in the form of a dinner. During this party, the guests can actually communicate with the players and congratulate those who won.

27. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. The event means more to the audience than to the players.

B. Only professional players can attend the golf tournament.

C. The most important thing for the tournament is advertising.

D. It’s important for the organizer to draw the audience’s attention.

28. The following are done before the tournament EXCEPT __________.

A. choosing a playing field

B. organizing an auction

C. naming the tournament

D. advertising the tournament

29. What’s the organizer’s purpose in announcing the lucky draws and other activities?

A. To have fun himself.

B. To earn more money.

C. To please the audience.

D. To attract more players.

30. The passage is mainly written to __________.

A. introduce what a golf tournament is

B. call on people to join in golf tournaments

C. introduce how to organize a golf tournament

D. share the experience of attending golf tournaments with readers
