For a number of years we lived next door to each other, and she spent as much time in my garden as she did her own. After the flowers became plentiful each summer, she would cut colorful bouquets(花束) to enjoy inside the house -- both hers and mine. I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement（布置）of fresh flowers on my coffee table.Shortly before Christmas one year, a local flower shop offered a bouquet-a-month special. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.After the holidays, in early January, I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month’s bouquet. The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase(花瓶).I was so embarrassed（尴尬的）. However, after we returned home, she began to arrange the flowers she had received. “Mom, I’m sorry,” I told her. “I can’t believe how skimpy that bouquet is.”She looked at me and smiled. “It’s okay,” she said. “It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one.”Mom’s words helped me to realize something bigger and more important --when we have too many good things, we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.Thanks, Mom, for helping me understand that less is sometimes more.21. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE?A. The author’s mother put fresh flowers on the author’s coffee table.B. The author used to buy some fresh flowers on her way home.C. The author’s mother usually bought flowers for her daughter.D. The author and her mother shared a beautiful garden.22.The author bought her mother flowers to ____.A. celebrate the coming ChristmasB. express thanks for all her mother has doneC. bring more flowers to her mother’s gardenD. arrange her mother’s new house23. What can you infer from the passage?A. The author couldn’t afford a big bouquet.B. The mother was not happy when receiving the bouquet.C. The author would pick up another bouquet the next month.D. The mother would send back the bouquet to the flower shop.24. What did the author learn from her mother?A. How to grow flowers.B. How to arrange flowers.C. Enjoying life if possible.D. Considering things in other ways.BWhile most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who, and different relationships between their classmates, I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports.When I was young, my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. It’s i ndeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my opinion, even though some high school relationships might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.First, you have to think about such a question whether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if youhope marriage could possibly follow. Except these, there really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives.The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers’ advice if necessary.25. The author writes this passage probably for ________ to read.A. high school studentsB. school teachersC. parents and teachersD. married couples26. Between the opposite sexes, the relationship of being good friends might be ________ than that of being boyfriends or girlfriends.A. weakerB. saferC. slimmerD. stronger27. How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?A. Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.B. Studying is far more important than dating in school.C. In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.D. Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.CThousands of objects have been on display in The National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, including the 1903 Wright Flyer, Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis, the Apollo 11 Command Module Columbia, and a lunar rock you can touch.

However, Black Friday has turned it into a business.Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with “matchless savings”,businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take theirhome-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is becoming victim to over commercialization—switching from a meaningful time of thanks and family to a day dedicated to products and profit.Black Friday has shown that with current common standards, people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember that Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.32. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. The material wealth. .B. The true value of Thanksgiving.C. The shopping crowd.D. The sign of a shift33. In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving comes?A. They’ll choose a big store for their first visit.B. They’ll make full preparations for the Black Friday shopping.C. They’ll visit some newly-opened shopping centers.D. They’ll go camping at the gate of shopping center for a good deal.34. In the last paragraph the author mainly intends to tell us that we should _________.A. set aside a single day to buy moreB. stay with our families as long as we canC. appreciate what we’ve possessed with our familiesD. try to spend less to get low cost products35. The author is __________ about the present ways people celebrate Thanksgiving.A. puzzledB. supportiveC. unconcernedD. worried 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
