The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance
came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for
the land of warmth and vitamin C (维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched
down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting,
and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part —
particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold — weather root vegetables — was a 7 a.m. adventure to
the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain
or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of
the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened (蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter
tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re
unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the
第1页（共5页）
Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal
— and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that
back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s
Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,
where — luckily for me — I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I
knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A. Exciting.
B. Boring. C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
25. What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.
26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?
A. They are soft.
B. They look nice.
C. They taste great.
D. They are juicy.
27. What was the author going to do that evening?
A. Go to a farm.
B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant.
D. Buy fresh vegetables.

Salvador Dali (1904—1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in
Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition
bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks
on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is
also L’ Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and
selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of
birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限), “From the infinity
small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish
accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains
the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo
Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador
Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?
A. Optimistic. B. Productive. C. Generous. D. Traditional.
29. What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?
A. One of his masterworks. B. A successful screen adaptation.
C. An artistic creation for the stage. D. One of the best TV programmes.
30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?
A. By popularity.
B. By importance.
C. By size and shape.
D. By time and subject.
31. What does the word "contributions" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Artworks. B. Projects. C. Donations. D. Documents.
D
Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night,
psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking
cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. The customers —
some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session — care quick to intellectualize (高
谈阔论), slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels’ or ‘people think’” Lehanne
told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”
A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s
psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood
cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle — longer

working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens
of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and
engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.
The city’s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places.
Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and
dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel.
“There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a café La Chope regular who
works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open
up”. Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these
cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says. “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place just to
speak.” But then, it wouldn’t be France.
32. What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?
A. Learn a new subject.
B. Keep in touch with friends.
C. Show off their knowledge. D. Express their true feelings.
33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?
A. They are less frequently visited.
B. They stay open for longer hours.
C. They have bigger night crowds.
D. They start to serve fast food.
34. What are theme cafes expected to do?
A. Create more jobs.
B. Supply better drinks.
C. Save the cafe business.
D. Serve the neighborhood.
35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?
A. They bring people true friendship.
B. They give people spiritual support.
C. They help people realize their dreams.
D. They offer a platform for business links.

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36.___________ Trust is a risk. But
you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the
wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or
cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust
anymore. 37. __________ It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again,
we have some steps you can take to get you there.
38. ___________ Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can
◆
see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
39. ___________ If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a
◆
difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives,
we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
You didn’t lose
◆
“everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from
this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your
life. 40. ___________ Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for
positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Yangshuo, China
It was raining lightly when I 61 (arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn. But I didn’t care. A few
hours 62 , I’d been at home in Hong Kong, with 63 (it) choking smog. Here, the air was clean and
fresh, even with the rain.
I’d skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark
waters of the Li River 64 are pictured by artists in so many Chinese 65 (painting). Instead,
I’d headed straight for Yangshuo. For those who fly to Guilin, it’s only an hour away 66 car and
offers all the scenery of the better-known city.
Yangshuo 67 (be) really beautiful. A study of travelers 68 (conduct) by the website
TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world. And the town is fast
becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia. Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in
Hong Kong, says it 69 (regular) arranges quick getaways here for people 70 (live) in Shanghai and
Hong Kong.

When I was a child, I hoped to live in the city. I think I would be happy there. Now I am living in a
city, but I miss my home in countryside. There the air is clean or the mountains are green. Unfortunately,
on the development of industrialization, the environment has been polluted. Lots of studies have been
shown that global warming has already become a very seriously problem. The airs we breathe in is getting
dirtier and dirtier. Much rare animals are dying out. We must found ways to protect your environment. If
we fail to do so, we’ll live to regret it.
