A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mothers Day，another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears，which is a period of reduced trade and business activity，and increasing food and gasoline prices. “If you look at what has happened on Valentines Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Erie Beder an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mothers Day will probably be a slow quarter，too. US floral sales for Mothers Day, celebrated yesterday will fall thirteen percent this year to$2 billion，with consumers spending an average of $17.65.according to the National Retail Federation estimates. Mothers Day，which accounts for a onequarter of annual holiday purchases，according tothe Society of American Florists，is traditionally the day when floral bouquets are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers. But this year，the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto，who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los Angeles financial district, is expecting lower sales-and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mothers Day. Last month, Solo, who also operates website downtown-flowers, net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.51. The underlined word slump in Para. 2 probably means .

Holiday purchases have a hard timeB Sleepy Hollow was a quiet village near New Yorks Hudson River. One day long ago, a teacher named Ichabod Crane moved there. He was tall and skinny, with long, pointy nose. His clothes flapped around him when he walked. Ichabod was an odd bird, but he thought very highly of himself! Like other teachers then, Ichabod moved around. He would spend a week with one family and move on. Often, these families amused themselves by telling ghost stories. Sleepy Hollow had many such stories, because people believed that the area was haunted. The most famous local ghost was the Headless Horseman. People said he was a soldier whose head was knocked off by a cannoball. He haunted the roads and woods, looking for his lost head. He travelled at night, returning to his burial place in the churchyard before morning. This story frightened Ichabod the most. Ichabod wanted to marry a wealthy girl. He had his eye on one of his students, Katrina Van Tassel. She was the daughter of a rich farmer. Ichabod had a rival for Katrina. He was a big, broad-shouldered fellow named Brom Bones. Brom was very mischievous, always ready for a flight and for fun. One day, the Van Tassels held a large party. Ichabod went and found Brom already there Folks sat around and told stories. Brom told of racing the Headless Horseman near Sleepy Hollow, The ghost had suddenly disappeared at the churchyard bridge, Ichabod shivered as he listened to the story. Brom watched him and smiled. After the party, Ichabod headed home on his old horse, Gunpowder. It was growing dark and the road was lonely. Ichabod was feeling nervous. Suddenly, he saw a large form in the road ahead. He couldnt see clearly in the gloom, but there was no doubt it was a horseman.Who-o-o-o are you? croaked Ichabod. The shadowy figure made no reply. Ichabod began to sweat. Suddenly, Gunpowder dashed forward. The other horseman started off as well. The two riders raced toward the bridge near the churchyard. Ill be safe if 1 can just cross the bridge, thought Ichabod. When he reached the bridge, Ichabod breathed a sign of relief. But the other horseman didnt disappear. Instead, the ghostly figure stood up in the stirrups and threw its head. The head hit Ichabod, knocking him off his horse. Ichabod was never seen in Sleepy Hollow again. Only a shattered pumpkin was found near the bridge. Some people said that the Headless Horseman had carried off Ichabod. Years later, someone saw him in New York City. Brom married Katrina, and he always laughed whenever anyone mentioned the pumpkin.55. What does the underlined word rival in Para. 4 mean? A. enemy B. partner C. competitor D. student56.

Ichabod was the only teacher in there, so he thought very highly of himself.58. What is the authors attitude towards Ichabod? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Hated.C There are two key elements to Nadals victories over Federer-speed and left-handed ground strokes. If tennis court surfaces get any faster, left-handed Rafeal Nadal, may eventually dominate(支配) fight-handed Roger Federer, for the simple reason that left-handed sportsmen in general have naturally quicker reflexes(反映). French sports researchers, led by Dr. Guy Azemar, are convinced, after 15 years of experiments, that the growing domination of left-handers in tennis can no longer be put down to their unorthodox(非正统的) technique. They say that everything points to left-handers having several thousandths of a second more time to react. The researchers were struck by the disproportionate(不相称的) success of left-handers. Left-handers dominate at the top although 90 percent of people are right-handed. Of the worlds200 top tennis players, 16 percent are left-handed but five of the top 20 and three of the top four are left-handers. Federer, therefore, is considered to be an exception-a right-hander who can make up with technique what he loses in reflex. Dr. Azemar is convinced that the advantage is explained by the way messages are carried from the brain. We want to show that the sorts of information needed in sport-speed and direction of attack-are treated by the right-hand side of the brain which handles the organization of time and space, he said. With left-handers the message is transmitted direct to the left-hand side of the brain first, the side which treats logic. Then it is passed to the other side causing a loss of thousandths of seconds. 59. It is implied in the first two paragraphs that .A. Nadal is a better player than FedererB. Nadal can play as well as FedererC. Federer has naturally quicker reflexesD. Nadal has naturally quicker reflexes60. The increasing domination of left-handers in tennis .A. was once considered the result of unorthodox techniqueB. is possible after 15 years of experimentsC. is due to their unorthodox techniqueD. can no longer be controlled61. How many left-handers are there among the worlds 200 best tennis players? A. 16 B. 20 C. 32 D. 9062. The author suggests, but does not directly say, that Federer wins because . A. he uses right hand B. he is the best player C. he has quicker reflexes D. he has better techniqueD The huge Florida wetland known as the Everglades is a slow-moving river 80 kilometres wide but only a few centimeters deep. People call the Everglades a river of grass because saw grass covers most of it. Saw grass is not really grass. It is a plant that has leaves edged with tiny sharp teeth that can easily cut through clothes-and skin! Travel in the Everglades is difficult. You cannot walk through shallow water because the saw grass will cut you. The water is too shallow for regular boats. So, we use an airboat. An airboat is a flat, open boat. Like an airplane, it has a big propeller to move it. The propeller is fixed on the rear of the boat. It makes a tremendous noise, but it does the job. The beat skims along the waters surface. Although we can still get lost in an airboat, at least we are above the alligators (短嘴鳄). While hundreds of different kinds of animals live in the Everglades, the most famous is surely the alligator. Once endangered, alligators are now protected within Everglades National Park. Visitors are likely to see them both on land and in water. For a long time, dangers
