       Fresh flowers actually continue to grow while in a vase．So in order to keep flowers fresh, you need to consider what the flowers need to grow and stay healthy．Flowers need water, light, and food．Besides, you need to be aware of a few precautions to take．

       Distilled water（蒸餾水） is the best kind of water to use for fresh flowers, because there are no chemicals in it．Change the water for your fresh flowers every day or no less than every 2 days to prevent bacteria（細(xì)菌） building up．Cut the stems under water again before putting them back in the vase, so that they will be able to draw water up easily．

       Keep your fresh flowers out of direct sunlight．At night, put them in the fridge．This will prolong their life．Adding commercial flower food to good water is probably the best method of keeping flowers fresh．Some people put sugar in the water for food．That is OK, but commercial flower food has bacteria-killing ingredients, which can make the water more acidic（酸性的）．If you want a more natural food for your fresh flowers, try water that has been specially treated．That solution will also give the water acidity, sugar, and bacteria-killing ability．

       Keep your fresh flowers away from fruit．Fruit gas, or ethylene, will reduce the life of your fresh flowers, making them get older faster．Ethylene is what makes fruit ripen．It is given off by dead flowers, too, so be sure to remove them．

       If you follow these tips, your fresh flowers will last a long time and beautify any room in which you put them．

1．What does the underlined word precautions in Paragraph 1 mean?

       A．problems that happen to flowers． B．a(chǎn)dvantages of having flowers．

       A．distilled water is perfect for people to drink

       B．running water shouldn’t be used to water flowers

       C．it takes great efforts to keep flowers fresh

       D．fresh flowers aren’t used to certain chemicals

3．In order to prolong the life of fresh flowers, you should ______．

       A．protect them from direct sunlight during the daytime

       B．put them in a damp place at night

       C．put them in a fridge all the time

第二部分 閱讀理解(共25小題。第一節(jié)每小題2分，第二節(jié)每小題1分；滿分45分)

第一節(jié) 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)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

When students think of learning a foreign language, the first thought is of books, exercises, and audio cassettes．Those are important to learning but sometimes a little bit boring．Therefore, it is time for us to spice things up a bit.

Things like a cellphone can keep your interest level high．It’s a perfect study material．You have it with you day after day, you are familiar with how it works and you can use it to practice whenever you have time．You don’t need to have your books by your side or stay in your room to listen to tapes.

Let’s take a look at how to add your cellphone to your study tools.

Set up your cellphone to use the language you want to study．Go to the menu, find settings, locate language and change it to English or Spanish, which benefits your language learning.

Look at the buttons and connect those items with the new vocabulary．This enables you to master simple words and phrases with little effort．For example, each time you open up your cellphone you’ll see “messages”, “games” and “calls made”．These words begin to take root if you see them again and again.

When you have time, take out your cellphone and start hitting buttons．You’ll be surprised at all the vocabulary you can learn by playing with the different menu items．Some things you’ll recognize immediately and others you can guess just by where you find them.

It can keep your learning fresh and interesting．And that’s important because boredom is a big problem with language learners．You need variety and a cellphone is one way to get it.
