22．（8分）John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin. The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner's name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested — 7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”
1、John was eager to know the former owner of the book because he______.
A．was very interested in the contents of the book
B．was impressed by the notes written by its owner
C．wanted to improve his handwriting

23．（8分） During this shopping season, salesmen will come up with different strategies to get your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (感官的) retail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers’ purchasing decisions.
Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender (薰衣草) was given off and when it wasn’t. It found that the smell increased the number of consumers’ purchasing items and the amount of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents (气味) through their heating and air-conditioning vents (通风口) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.
Ever felt frenzied due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice of music can have a big impact on consumers’ moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers’ satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.
Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn’t your best choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers’ experience. Online retailers (零售商) use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.
1、The passage is mainly about ________.
A．consumers’ favorite sounds and smells while shopping
B．shopping malls’ strategies for satisfying consumers
C．some special services from super shopping malls
D．two factors affecting consumers’ shopping decisions
2、What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A．Decorating stores with flowers becomes a fashion.
B．Shops with special smells can attract more consumers.
C．Smells can actually help businessmen gain more profits.
D．The products with a kind of special smell are more popular.
3、How does music have an effect on consumers?
A．It controls consumers’ desire for shopping.
B．It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.
C．It gives consumers the satisfaction of enjoying shopping.
D．Whether consumers are willing to buy things depends on it.
4、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “frenzied” in Paragraph 3?
A．Satisfied. B．Depressed.
C．Surprised. D．Excited.
5、What does the writer try to express in the last paragraph?
A．Online shopping is becoming more and more popular nowadays.
B．People should spend more time at home with family members.
C．People can choose to get rid of salesmen’s promotion strategies.
D．Smells and sounds are important for consumers’ shopping experience.
24．（8分）One evening, author Neil’s son was angry. Neil had said one of those things that parents say, like “isn’t it time you were in bed.” His son looked up at him, angry and said, “I wish I didn’t have a dad! I wish I had … a goldfish!” That conversation gave birth to Neil’s book, “The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish”. The book is a funny adventure of a son searching for the dad he swapped.
Whether they realize it or not, fathers play an important role in their children’s development. Roland Warren, Director of the National Fatherhood Initiative, says that, “The shape of their dads has a role in the kids’ soul.” I agree. We live in the best of times and the worst of times for fatherhood. We live in the best of times because fathers who are engaged in their child’s life spend more time than fathers of any previous generation. We live in the worst of times because there are still millions of children who continue to miss the regular presence of Dad.
What difference does a dad make? Are they really that important? For the most part, studies have proved clearly that fathers, whether they live with their children or not, matter in the lives of their children. When fathers are present, they provide economic support for their children and caregiving responsibilities. Well-fathered children are shown to be more emotionally intelligent and socially successful as adults. When fathers are absent, their absence may negatively influence children’s academic achievement, general behavioural adjustment and anger management, especially in males.
Yet just being physically present isn’t enough to be a great father. It is important that a dad be warm and emotionally available to his child. Author and researcher, John Gottman, describes this kind of father as an “emotion coaching father”. Emotion coaches are parents who listen to their children’s feelings, see the sharing of feelings as an opportunity for intimacy（亲密）. It is not just the mere presence of fathers that matters, but how they are present. Most children long for and need a loving, devoted and responsible father.
1、The author introduces his topic by ______.
A．presenting the results of studies B．telling a story
C．making a comparison D．interviewing some experts
2、What does the author mean in Paragraph 2 by saying “We live in the worst of times … ”?
A．Today’s fathers don’t care about their children’s emotions.
B．Lots of children’s fathers have to work every day.
C．Lots of children’s fathers are absent from their lives.
D．Today’s fathers don’t have care giving responsibilities.
3、According to the text, a well-fathered child is more likely to _______.
A．lose control of anger B．obtain high academic achievement
C．have low emotional intelligence D．have good social skills
4、We can learn from the text that an “emotion coaching father” is a father who ______.
A．gives economic support to his child B．shares his child’s emotions
C．tries to change his child’s emotions D．is always available to his child
25．（10分）Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them, but that’s nonsense! What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized (清洁的) and unreal , entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside.
The best way to experience any destination is by foot, without an itinerary, wandering where your spirit leads you. Even in the largest cities, the savvy(资深的) traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street, experiencing the actual life of th
