For a large number of people, the thoughts of spring gardening provide a happy escape from winter boredom. Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets.

Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families. One should not plant a garden that is too large to care for. A small well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible the garden should be near the house so that the gardener can work in it at odd moments.

Section A

In the past fifty years, American society has changed a great deal. Fifty years ago, most Americans lived in small munities. They 21 moved from one area to another and knew their neighbors at least by 22 if not by close, personal 23 . Life was so personal in those days that people often 24 about it. They said that a person could not even stay home from church on Sunday without the whole town knowing about it. It was difficult to have 25 in a small munity like that, but there was usually a sense of security, of belonging, and of munity togetherness in such places. Except for church and the local movie theater, there was not much in the way of entertainment. Some people dreamed about moving to the 26 life of the big cities, but most people were happy to live all their lives in the same munity. Few people 27 this type of lifelong social interaction or sense of munity togetherness now. People often move from neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city, and coast to coast. It is rare to find people who have lived all their lives in one munity. Because people move so 28 , they do not have a chance to get to know their neighbors. Perhaps this is also why Americans tend to have a more casual 29 about friendships than people from some other cultures. Americans are 30 to leaving friends and making new friends.

Section B Passage One
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our men unfortunately miss that beneficial branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It dose not hurt the newest er to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself. Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is "aim high." Say to yourself, "My place is at the top." Be king in your dreams. And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is all wrong. I tell you "put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket." Look around you and take notice; men who do that do not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that break most eggs in the country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tremble and trip (摔倒) him up.

31. The author will be glad to see a young man ______ the first day he is at work.
A) trying his hand at a broom B) walking around the office C) reading books D) absent from work
正确答案： A

A) started his career by sweeping out the office B) looks down on the janitors and janitresses

33. According to the passage, ______ is an indispensable part of business education.
A) being a good janitor or janitress B) starting from sweeping in the office
C) learning to use the puter D) getting familiar with the Internet
正确答案： B

34. ______ is essential in your way to success.

正确答案： B

35. In the second paragraph, "concerns" is most close in meaning to ______.
A) firms B) worries C) businessmen D) deals
正确答案： A

Passage Two
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Despite a cooling of the economy, high-technology panies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U.S. economy. The most monly cited reason for this state of affairs is that the country's agrarian-age (农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for twenty-first-century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible but equally powerful cause is an antique classification system that divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers. Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work migrated from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twentieth century, outnumbering the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent, who bines the mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology). These "gold-collar" workers — so named for their contributions to their panies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning ability — apply that knowledge to technology. The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at Procter & Gamble; the engineering technologist who assists scientists at Sandia National Laboratories; and the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel can all be regarded as gold-collar workers.

36. In the first paragraph, the word "projects" can be best replaced by _____.
A) throws B) predicts C) concludes D) claims
正确答案： B

37. pared with a blue-collar worker, a gold-collar worker _____.
A) is more skillful in technology B) has received higher education
C) used to be a white-collar worker D) learnt more in high school
正确答案： A

38. A gold-collar worker _____.
A) knows more than one kind of knowledge or skill B) knows only one kind of knowledge or skill
C) earns less than a blue-collar worker D) earns less than a white-collar worker
正确答案： A

39. The first group of blue-collar workers were most likely to be _____ in the past.
A) migrants B) educators C) servants D) farmers
正确答案： D

40. When did the number of white-collar workers bee bigger than that of the blue-collar workers in America? A) Recently. B) In 1970 or so. C) In 1950 or so. D) During the Industrial Age.
正确答案： C
