?、?閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)
A
It's pretty much common knowledge that Easter is a Christian celebration of Christ's rising.Where did the colored eggs, cute little bunnies, baby chicks, leg of lamb dinners，and lilies come from?They are all symbols of rebirth and the lamb was a traditional religious sacrifice(祭品).
Easter falls in the spring, the yearly time of rebirth，when the earth makes good itself after a long，cold winter.The word Easter comes to us from the Norsemen's Eostur, Eastar，Ostara, and Ostar, and the goddess Eostre, all of which involve the season of the growing sun and new birth.The Easter Bunny arose originally as a symbol of fertility (多產(chǎn)), due to the rapid reproduction habits of the hare and rabbit.
The ancient Egyptians, Persians, Phoenicians, and Hindus all believed the world began with a large egg，and thus the egg as a symbol of new life has been a long time.
The details may be different, but most cultures around the world use the egg as a symbol of new life and rebirth.A system of signs in the household accounts of Edward I of England showed an expense of eighteen pence for 450 eggs to be goldleafed and colored for Easter gifts.The first book to mention Easter eggs by name was written five hundred years ago.Yet，a North African tribe that had become Christian much earlier in time had a custom of coloring eggs at Easter.Long hard winters often meant little food，and a fresh egg for Easter was quite a prize.Later，Christians give up eating meat during the Lenten season before Easter.Easter was the first chance to enjoy eggs and meat after the_long_abstinence.
Some European children go from house to house begging for Easter eggs, much like Halloween trickortreaters.Called paceegging, it comes from the old word for Easter, Pasch.Many old cultures also considered the egg to be great healing powers.It is interesting to note that eggs play almost no part in the Easter celebrations of Mexico, South America, and Native American Indian cultures.Eggrolling contests are a symbolic practice of the rolling away of the stone from Christ's tomb.The decoration of small leafbarren branches as Easter egg trees has become a popular custom in the United States since the 1990s.

It was harvest time, and several farm hands were working for an hour.But they were not common laborers(勞工).They were students who had just graduated from colleges.Mr.KraussMalett said he became interested in farming after working in a restaurant and seeing how much food was wasted.They had been in the fields at Hearty Roots Community Farm in the Hudson Valley since 7 a.m.They all said they could not imagine doing any other job.“Farming attracts me, and probably other people, because it's simple work outdoors，” Mr.Bobman said.“It doesn't feel like you're a part of an oppressive (壓抑的) company.”
For decades, the number of farmers has been decreasing, and farming has often been seen as a backbreaking (辛苦的)job.But the recent research showed a 4 % increase in the number of farms, the first increase since 1920, and some college graduates are joining in the return to the land.
Jordan Schmidt, a manager at Hearty Roots Community Farm, studied environmental science at Wesleyan.Ms.Schmidt did not have so much as a garden growing up, but in college, she worked at a studentrun farm and fell in love with agriculture(農(nóng)業(yè)).So she gave up her scientific research and moved onto a farm in Pennsylvania after graduating.This is her third season at Hearty Roots Community Farm.
“Most people who work for me are here for one season and then move onto other farms, so that's actually the biggest challenge，” said Ben Shute, who owns Hearty Roots Community Farm with his wife, Lindsey.“Every year we are busy training new people.But it is worth having such people.A lot of young people want to farm for themselves, so they are motivated(有積極性的)to learn quickly.”
On the East End of Long Island, Sean Frazier and other four people who are recent college graduates in their mid20s, work on Quail Hillfarm in Amagansett and have become close friends.Asked if he felt he was missing out on (失去……機(jī)會) the city lifestyle, Mr.Frazier replied, “I much more feel the opposite.It would just really bother me to feel like I was inside all day and I was just missing out on everything that happened.”
40.When working in the fields, the college graduates
______.
A.were lowpaid
B.felt free from pressure
C.became more interested in farming
D.thought their hard work was wasted
41.By mentioning college graduates in the return to the land, the author wants to tell us ________.
A.agriculture has been paid more attention to
B.it is much easier to make a living on a farm
C.more farmers don't like to do farm work
D.something is wrong with American agriculture
42.Why did Jordan Schmidt give up her scientific research?
A.Because she wanted to be a farm manager.
B.Because she moved onto a farm after graduating.
C.Because she wanted to study environmental science.
D.Because she fell in love with agriculture on a studentrun farm.

B.college graduates shouldn't often move onto other
farms
C.he spoke highly of college graduates working on his farm
D.it was a great challenge for college graduates to do farm work
C
The city of Pompeii was once part of the largest and most powerful empire the world had ever seen.Behind this city was Vesuvius, a mountain that had been formed by an old volcano.It sometimes trembled as underground gases caused earth tremors(地震)which shook buildings.The people were sometimes alarmed, but never thought there was any real danger in being close to the volcano.
Then one day in the year 79, many dogs and farm animals began to act strangely.More tremors began.Unusual rumbling noises came from higher up the mountain until there was a loud explosion.The top of the volcano blew off-showering the city with smoke, hot stones and ashes.A tongue of fire appeared out of the crater(火山口) which had now formed at the peak(頂峰).
The hot air and debris (碎片) continued to rain down.At first the people locked their doors and windows, hoping that this would only last a short while.They went into cellars (地下室)and underground passages to avoid the poisonous gases that filtered through cracks and openings.But, soon they were choking to death as they gasped for fresh air.Some tried to escape by running away, but the streets became blocked with loaded carts that had overturned, and piles of dead and dying people.
In a short while all the houses were totally covered by the debris which piled up over the rooftops.The city lay buried.The volcano subsided and the people gradually forgot about the city and those who lay buried under the ashes.Over the years, winds carried soil over the top and gradually trees and grass grew over where all the streets and buildings lay meters below.The people farmed the land around Vesuvius, which remained dormant(休眠)for hundreds of years.
It was not until around 1860 that archaeologists, interested in finding the remains of the buried city Pompeii, started digging.It has taken many years for most of the city to be uncovered.Today you can walk along the paved(鋪設(shè)好的) streets and see the marks made by wheels of chariots and carts.You can enter many of the houses and shops which are well preserved.There is a museum in which all kinds of possessions are housed.They include tools, cooking utensils (器具), furniture and clothing.
44.Which was the sign of the coming volcano in Pompeii?
A.The forming of the crater.
B.The strange action of animals.
C.Loud noise from under the ground.
D.The falling of hot stones and ashes.
45.People went into their cellars because ________.
A.they could run away from there
B.no poisonous gases could enter there
C.they thought the explosion wouldn't last long
D.other places were blocked by the hot stone and ashes
46.The underlined word “subsided” in the fourth paragraph means ________.
A.disappeared suddenly after explosion
B.became quiet after being violent

When people talk about a “slow boat to China”， they usually mean that something is taking a very long time.The term is often used in reference to movements of people or goods, as in “my package is taking so long to arrive;it must be on a slow boat to China”.This idiom is most commonly used in American English.
The origins of the term appear to lie in the game of poker, The player who lost at a slow and steady pace was often referred to as a “slow boat to China”.Therefore the patient player achieved his winnings slowly and steadily.In a way the loser's plight (困境) was beneficial for the winning poker player.
In 1948, Frank Loesser used the idiom in a slightly different way in his song “On a Slow Boat to China”.He used it in a romantic sense, referring to the idea of being so in love with someone that you would want to take the person on a slow boat to China to spend as much time with him or her as possible.Both of these meanings referred to the fact that shipping something to China took a long time, and it would have taken even longer to cross the Pacific on a slow boat.
People continue to use this term to refer to long trips, or to suggest that they have a great deal of time to do something.For example, one might say，“We can sit and talk as long as you like, because we might as well be on a slow boat to China.” As a matter of fact, the term isn't used as much in the romantic sense anymore, because the famous song has fallen out of favor.
47.Which of the following statements about “on a slow boat to China” is NOT true?
A.It's an idiom.
B.It's the name of a song.
C.It is commonly used in British English.

A.who keeps losing money
B.who plays poker well by cheating
C.who likes playing poker on a boat
D.who dislikes playing poker very much
49.We can infer from the passage that in American people's eyes，ancient China is ________.
A.amazing and easy to arrive in
B.far away and hard to arrive in
C.strange and hard to understand
D.uncultured and easy to control
50.Talking about “a slow boat to China” now, people may mean ________.
A.they are true fans of classic songs
B.they have difficulty in doing something
