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 7:00 am 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 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 late
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 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.
28. Which of the following best describe
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 beat 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.

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. They 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’,”Lehane 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 nearby church.“Peaple 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 would’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.
