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.

    第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
    The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:
    Four – percent effort
    The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.
    Administrative rank
    Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚機(jī)構(gòu)) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.
    Vocational Education
    The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.
    Entering college
     Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.
    56．Which of the following is true in the future according to the passage?
     A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.
     B．Colleges will be given the right to choose all of their own applicants.
     C．Vocational education will be party free to make people’s lives better.
     D．Applicants could sit for the college entrance English test more than once.
    57．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “uniform” in the last paragraph?
     A．formal      B．official     C．same D．united
    58．We can learn from the passage even though our country spends 4% of GDP on education in 2012, ________.
     A．there will still be 188 countries ahead of China in this aspect
     B．China will certainly overtake the global average spending on education
     C．there might be nearly 100 countries ahead of China in this aspect
     D．China will be the 100 th country to spend over the global average on education
    59．From the third paragraph, we can infer that________.
     A．school leaders will have more freedom to manage the school
     B．schools will have more limits from the government
     C．School administrative rankings are to be strengthened to solve the bureaucracy problem
     D．schools and research centers will be fully independent from the government

    閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
    In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story’’ often told, Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Abraham Lincoln, the famous American president, lost elections more times than he won them! He never gave up in the face of failure but kept trying and was eventually elected to Congress and then the presidency.
    So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? 
    Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed this time, where will it get me?’’ This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway. 
    The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s part of life. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”

    Over three million people will do their Christmas
shopping entirely online this year without once visiting an actual shop, a poll
(民意調(diào)查) has found. Overcrowding and long queues
in shops are forcing people away from the high street as the hassle (煩擾) of Christmas shopping becomes too much.
    


    The number of people turning their backs on the high
street is almost one million higher than it was last year, according to the
poll by YouGov. Last Christmas 2.4 million shoppers did not do any of their
shopping in actual shops. The figure this year is predicted to be around 3.4
million, equal to around 7 percent of the adult population.
    


    Over a third of people said that the main turn-off
about shopping on the high street is 0ver-crow-ding. Meanwhile almost a quarter
said that long queues at the cheek-out are the worst thing about it.
    


    Of the 2.065 people pored, even those who are stir
taking to the shops plan to spend less time in them this Christmas. Around 31
percent of shoppers who plan to spend at least some time on the high street
will spend less than half of their shopping time in actual shops, using the
rest of the time to shop remotely via the internet. This compares to 28 percent
of people last year. Meanwhile the proportion of people spending over half of their
shopping time in high street shops has dropped from 41 percent last year to 39
percent this year. Just 2 percent of people said that they are looking forward
to dealing wi.th store staff this festival season.
    


    Guy Boxall, senior product marketing manager at Casio
Business Solutions Division, which commissioned the research from YouGov, said
that despite the fall in people visiting the high street,humans are
"social creatures" who actually like spending time together.
    


    "Although the high street is facing a big
challenge Christmas, retailers (零售商) should
see this research as a challenge to improve the in-store shopping experience,
rather than the nail in the coffin. We are social creatures, and the desire to
spend time with each other, particularly at Christmas, is never going to go
away," said Mr. Boxall.
    


    1.According to the poll, in this year's Christmas       
    


    A．a(chǎn)bout 7 % of
the population will do both online and actual shopping
    


    B．a(chǎn)bout 31% of
shoppers will do half of their shopping in actual shops
    


    C．a(chǎn)bout 39% of
shoppers will do more than half of their shopping in actual shops
    


    D．over three
million shoppers will quit actual shopping just because of the long queues
    


    2.What's the meaning of "turn-off" in
Para.5?
    


    A．Something
that makes people lose heart
    


    B．Something
that makes people lose face
    


    C．Something
that makes people lose interest
    


    D．Something
that makes people lose courage
    


    3.It can be inferred from Mr. Boxall's words that                                                                                                   
    


    A．retailers
should reduce their in-store goods.
    


    B．retailers wiR
be pessimistic about the result of this research.
    


    C．retailers
should focus on the advantage of in-store shopping.
    


    D．retailers
will make more profits this Christmas than last Christmas
    


    4.Wheat's the writer's attitude towards Christmas
online shopping?
    


    A．Concerned.        B．Doubtful.          C．Approving.        D．Objective.
