Nothing says love like a dozen long – stemmed roses on Valentine’s Day. More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers, the biggest day of the year for the nation’s rose industry. It’s going to remain the most popular flower because love never goes out of style.

Yes, a rose is a rose is a rose. But selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy and discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money. Roses only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the’ 90s.

Inside this store on Sixth Avenue near 40 th Street, contemporary white furniture and wall – to – wall mirrors give it an expensive look. Customers move about freely among the counters, looking eagerly at the roses in more than 50 colors from shelf to shelf. Some customers say it’s the high quality of the roses that attracts them there. “I spent $ 20 but the flowers looked like I paid 60 or 70 dollars,” says one customer.

Studies show more people are buying roses in ones, two and threes these days. In fact, more than half of all roses are sold in bunches of fewer than a dozen. But Roses Only's low prices encourage people to spend. Even on Valentine's Day, when the price of a dozen roses and delivery can soar as high as $150, 12 of Roses Only's most expensive flowers sell for just $35. The company's key to success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains. In addition, the company also sells other items such as ballons and stuffed animals.    

       While discount rose retailers are witnessing their business bloom, U.S. rose growers aren’t able to compete with the fierce foreign competition. More than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia and Ecuador, which accounted for almost 90% of the total imported last year. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers such as Johnson Flowers of California, considered to be this country's leading producer.

Now, instead of fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. "We have a few big fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. “We may also widen our business to include the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers.”

       As a result of severe competition, those in the rose business long for the good old days, whereas ordinary people benefit from the low price.

60．What is the central theme of this text?

A．The US rose business is going from bad to worse in spite of the efforts made.

B．The rose will remain the most popular flower as love never goes out of date.

C．The rose business is trying to meet the challenges in the market to succeed.

D．The rose industry plays an important role in American economy.

61．How does Roses Only obtain success in the discount rose retailing field?

       A．By setting up more chain stores across the country.

B．By selling roses in supermarkets.

C．By selling high quality roses at a low price.

D．By selling roses by the dozen.

        I am trying to muster(鼓起)the courage to toss away my
mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring –free life．
        


        Can you imagine not having your mobile
phone? In our high-tech, in-a-hurry age, a cell-free life is a hard concept to
swallow． Our mobile
phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express
their every thought on their blog pages． If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad．
        


        I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology
． I have an office
phone, a home phone, e-mail and if people want to contact me． they can． If I’m out, people can leave a

really need to find me 24/7 ? However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord
of the Rings． The
power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go．
        


        Mobile phones have become necessary tools
in our busy life．
For most people , they hold all contacts and many of us don't write up address
books any more． The
latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else． We feel lost without this
device and when we do misplace it , we feel cut off from our fellow,
        


        “Where have you been?” said a friend, who
saw me a week after I lost my cell, “I tried calling you , but you disappeared． You disappeared off the face
of the Earth。” See,
when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist．
        


        I’m not really going to toss my mobile
phone away, in fact． We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well． So in 2009, I’ve dicided not
to serve my mobile phone． Like all machine, I can always turn it off．
        


        1．What does the underslined phrase“toss away”mean?

        C．suggest a cell-free life is what he wants
        


        D．introduce a film character to us

        D．We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones

        第二節(jié)：閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）
        


        Would you spend more time playing outside,
reading, or studying? Well, now it’s our chance to turn off your TV and find
out! TV-Turnoff Week is here.
        


        The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let
people leave their TV sets off and participate in activities from drawing to
biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization
which started the event in 1995. In the beginning, only a few thousand people
took part. Last year more that 7.6 million people participated, including
people in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This is
the 11 th year in which organizers are asking people to “turn off the TV and
turn on life.”
        


        According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the
average kids in the US spend more time in front of the TV （about 1, 023 hours per year）than they do in school （about 900 hours per year）. Too much TV watching has made
many kids      .In fact, in 2001’s TV-Turn-off week,
US Surgeon General David Satcher said, “We are raising the most overweight
generation of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.”
        


        Over the years, studies have shown that
watching a lot of TV leads to poor eating habits, too little exercise, and
violence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV “
is , or should be ,part of a healthy lifestyle.”
        


        “One of the great lessons of participating
in TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that every time I turn on the TV, I’m
deciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.
        


        TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a
difference. Recent US Census （人口普查）data shows that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit on
their TV time. That’s up from about 63 percent ten years ago.
        


        81．What’s the best title of the passage? （Please answer within 10 words）
        


        _______________________________________________________________________________
        


        82．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
        


        According to many studies, spending too
much time in front of TV has many bad results.
        


        _______________________________________________________________________________
        


        83．Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or
phrases to complete the sentence. （Please answer within 10 words）
        


        _______________________________________________________________________________
        


        84．Can you think of other bad results of watching too much TV? （Please answer within 30 words）
        


        _______________________________________________________________________________
        


        85．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
        


        _______________________________________________________________________________
