  Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly line life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?

Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.

In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.

41.Which of the following is a feature of the old French way of life?

Leisure, elegance, and efficiency

Elegance, efficiency, and taste

Leisure, elegance, and taste

Elegance, efficiency, and leisure

42.Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?

Many of them prefer the modern life style.

They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.

They are more concerned with money than before.

They are more competitive than the old generation.

43.The passage suggests that _________.

A. in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere

B. it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the river

C. the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked apples

D. great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen

44.Which of the following is true about the critics?

A. Critics are greater in number than people enjoying the new way of life.

B. Students critics are greater in number than critics in other fields.

C. Students critics have, on occasion, resorted to violent means against the trend.

D. Critics are concerned solely with the present and not the future.

45.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?

A. Changes in the French Way of Life

B. Criticism of the New Life Style

C. The Americanization of France

D. Features of the New Way of Life

“Soon，you’re going to have to move out!”cried my neighbor as soon as he saw the largest tomato plant known to mankind，or at least known in my neighborhood．

    One tiny 9-inch plant，bought for $ 1．25 in the spring．has already taken over much of my rose bed，covering much of other plants，and is well on its way to the front door．

    Roses require a good deal of care，and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give。it wouldn’t be worth the work．As it is．I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year．Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring，leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later．It was the space available (可利用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant．A big mistake．

    Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes．The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (肥料) have turned the little plant into a tall bush．The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves．

    Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold．First．I have to find the red ones among the leaves，which means I almost have to stand on my head．and once found I have to reach down and under，pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回)my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won．I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June． But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light．

  Here I am faced with a painful small decision：To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses．Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind．I'll think about that tomorrow．

What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?

      A．A lot of care and the right soil．        B．Frequent pruning and fertilizing．

      C．Tomato plants grown alongside．   D．Cages placed around the roots．

The writer planted the tomato because           ．

      A．it cost only$1．25       B．the soil was just right for it

      C．there was room for it in the garden       D．the roses’branches needed to be covered

This year the writer’s roses were          ．

      A．removed from the rose bed         B．picked along with the tomatoes

      C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight  D．1argely hidden under the tomato plant

By saying“the prize so dearly won”in paragraph 5，the writer wants to        ．

      A．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

      B．show the hardship of growing the roses

      C．express her liking for the roses

      D．express her care for the tomatoes

In the situation described in the text，one good thing is that             ．

      A．the roses cost the writer little money

      B．the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes

      C．someone will help the writer make the decision

      D．the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes

第一节  阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.

What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be never racking (紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand faster?

“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” “All relationships go through power struggles but,” he says, “if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in.” That feeling of “I’ve always loved you more” may be subverted (颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling (大声争吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative.” In fact, the person who says “I love you” first may also be the one who says  “I’m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is “Please don’ t be unfaithful to me” ? By saying “I love you”, they are really saying “Do you love me?” If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”

41. What is the main idea of this passage?

　A. The importance of "I love you"   　   B. The meaning of "I love you"

　C. The time of saying "I love you".     　D. The place of saying "I love you"

　A. it is easy to say "I love you"  

　B. it is hard to say "I love you"

　C. we have many troubles in our life

　D. people usually do not know when to say "I love you"

43. According to the expert, a good relationship should be _____________.

　A. fair and equal          　    B. fair and kind

　C. powerful and equal            D. confident and fair

44. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means __________.

　A. being low in spirit    　      B. having only one hand

　C. being active               　D. being passive

45. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody say "I love you" to you?

　A. The intention.  　B. The place.   　C. The time.   　D. The determination.
