I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family tried to 31 an ant farm at home. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we brought some ants from the backyard and placed them into the 32 home.

Shortly after the new 33 were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew 34 what to do. After hours of staring,

I realized that the ants had particular given jobs. With my mom’s help, I kept a journal of what happened each day and 35 the ants. My favorite was the biggest, Cinderella. I drew a picture of her in my journal, which I still have.

On day five a disaster 36 the ant farm. While I was 37 the ants, I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, 38 in all the tunnels. Although the ants 39 their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was 40 as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of “frustration”—feeling annoyed and impatient as they couldn’t control the situation. They simply could not 41 the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed. Cinderella was the last to die; she did so while carrying a dead ant on her back.

Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, 42 it taught me much more. 43 the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of 44 . Working together, they were able to create a(n) 45 world for themselves. I also learned that they should be 46 for their hard work. Day in and day out, each labored at their task. The ant farm demonstrated that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key 47 to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not 48 until recently: Disaster is a natural part of life, and must be 49 . Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face 50 .

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.

Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.

Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.

I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.

I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.

Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.

51. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?

A. Because Mother’s Day always falls shortly after Earth Day.

B. To stress that all the women in her family are environmentalists. C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.

D. Because her mother shows her concern to nature on Mother’s Day. 52. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?

A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy. B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.

C. Setting a caught spider free in the garden D. Picking dandelions on busy streets.

53. We can infer from the article that ______.

A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well B. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life D. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment. 54. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. Tomatoes make the author think of her mother.

B. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself. C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment. D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.

B

High-quality customer service is preached（宣扬）by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.

Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store(零售店), but instead will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints. “Storytelling hurts retailers(零售商) and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”

The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered（塞满了的）shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people.

During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting part-time local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers.

“Retailers who’re enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”

Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filling complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.

55. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?

A. Most shoppers won’t complain even if they have had unhappy experiences. B. It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store mangers.

C. Few customers believe the service will be improved after their complaints. D. Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them. 56. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A. The same products can be bought in other retail stores.

B. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores. C. There is a great chance that new customers are to replace old ones. D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too. 57. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?

A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well B. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life D. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment. 54. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. Tomatoes make the author think of her mother.

B. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself. C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment. D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.
