    In early summer, one of the most popular fruits is strawberry(草莓). It is said strawberry is the “Queen of fruit” as it has many nutritious elements. But many people feel that the strawberry in the current market tastes different as many strawberries are artificially(人工地)grown and some even have a scent of pesticides(杀虫剂). So finding naturally-grown strawberries is a hot issue. There are some places where you can not only find tasteful strawberries, but also enjoy picking them.

C. To tell the difference between artificially-grown strawberries and naturally-grown strawberries.

D. To tell us the joys of picking and buying strawberries.

64.解析:选C。细节理解题。文章第一段提到人工培育生产出来的草莓有残留农药的味道,由第二段“The strawberries here are pesticide-free with no artificial coloring. ”可知天然生产出来的草莓是没有人工色素,不含农药的绿色水果,这正是人们的偏爱之处。故答案为C。

65.解析:选C。正误判断题。由 “You can have fun picking strawberries in person, but you can’t taste them for free. ”可知C项表述错误,符合题干的要求。A、B两项文中有明确表述;文中提到Buy 20kg, Get 1kg Free买二十公斤有一公斤赠送,也就是买20公斤的草莓只需付19公斤的钱,即 20×6-6=114(yuan),故D项表述也正确。

66.解析:选B。推理判断题。由最后的“Known for the freshest and healthiest strawberries, this place is named as the ‘Hometown of Strawberries’. ” 可以推出之所以被誉为草莓的故乡是因为这里生产的草莓质量上乘, 故B项为正确答案。其他三项均不能从文中明确地推出。

67.解析:选A。写作目的题。根据文章的组织结构形式, 可以判断出这是一篇广告, 其目的是为天然草莓种植园做宣传, 故A项为正确答案。

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

In today’s world, the most successful companies are the ones who understand how important it is to make contacts around the world. However, doing business in different countries is very rarely simple. It is important to be aware of the local customs and traditions of the people you are dealing with, which is the best way to impress your hosts.

One example that comes to mind is of a German company that recently tried to gain a new contract in South Korea. The German visitors arrived at the Korean company’s office early in the morning and spent the whole day in long meetings. By the evening, the Germans were so tired that they politely declined the Korean’s invitation to go out for dinner and drinks, since they wanted to return to their hotel and get some rest. The Germans did not understand that in South Korea business talks often continue into the evening. The Germans only came to realize that they offended their hosts after they had lost the contract.  

In Europe or the USA, business is rarely discussed into the evening. However, it is important to be on time for a meeting. If you are late, your hosts may think you do not care. In fact, it is better to arrive at least ten minutes before the meeting starts. This way, you can show how keen you are to do business with them, and you will also have time to talk with your hosts before you sit down to discuss business.

However, in many countries meetings may not start on time. There are a number of reasons for this, such as transport difficulties due to poor roads, unusual weather and the cost of cars. Sometimes the time of day is also important. In South America and many countries in southern Europe, people have a short sleep for a couple of hours after lunch. Therefore, if you try to arrange a meeting for the early afternoon, you may find that not many people will attend, or that you hosts will be in a bad mood.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)

The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women, during the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances (家用电器)and convenience foods.

This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.
