Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions. Canned Food and the Can Opener-Get It Right! Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular. Frozen Food-A Little Good Luck Can I-Ielp! Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to如e Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time. Air Conditioning-One Answer to Two Problems! Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world! 55. When was canned food invented? A. In 1810. B. In 1870. C. In 1902. D. In 1926. 56.

Public support. C. Modern technology. D. Practical suggestions. C The idea that a sales team can learn something from Girl Scouts will come as a surprise to many. What has this out-dated organisation got to do with the fast-moving world of today? But in the Girl Scouts' yearly cookie drive, two hundred million units are sold per year, earning over $700 million. And these figures are achieved only in a three-month period in the spring. True, the organisation has changed greatly in recent years. Ever since the appointment of CEO Kathy Cloninger in 2003, this 95-year tradition-bound organisation, famous only for camping, crafts and cookies, has transformed its goal to instilling leadership qualities in the girls, developing new funding opportunities(贊助機會) and creating a well-organised structure. And nowhere are these changes more noticeable than in the yearly cookie sale. No longer relying on neighbourhood door-to-door sales to get the fund, the organisation now uses a wide range of modern methods which businesses worldwide can learn from. Firstly, the Girl Scouts organisation focuses on providing the girls with life skills. Through their work with the girls, the organisation creates a team with strong leadership and communication skills. ‘Cookie College’ training courses develop the Scouts' business acumen(聰明才智), providing them with presentation, marketing and money management skills. These skills will be extremely useful in their future lives. Through role-playing, case studies and tasks, the girls become inspired about their role as a salesperson. And the proof of the pudding-or should I say cookie-is in the eating. These well-trained salesgirls can turn out extraordinary results. Scout Markita Andiews sold over 80,000 dollars worth of cookies in the twelve years when she was a Girl Scout. Her success is also due to the reward. By selling the greatest number of cookies, Markita won a trip around the world. Scouts earn reward points as they sell more cookies. 1,500 cookies gets the Scout a Wii game system. But Girl Scouts are not only training and motivating their workforce, they are also changing their methods as well. Gone are the days when girls went door-to-door around the neighbourhood selling to family and friends. They now go in for the bulk sales method-selling in large quantities. They sell to large organisations and businesses. This way, girls are able to shift a greater number of cookies and make the most of their sales time. 59. What was most people's view on Girl Scouts before Cloninger became CEO? A. Impractical. B. Creative. C. Well-organised. D. Old-fashioned. 60. The author believes that Girl Scouts . A. has gone far beyond its goal B. has reduced the girls' motivation C. has set a good example for businesses D. has had successful production methods 61. What is now the most valued policy of Girl Scouts? A. Applying new fundraising methods. B. Improving the organisational structure. C. Developing the girls' ability for future life. D. Providing working experience for the girls. 62. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Training in Cookie College B. Girl Scouts Funding Success C. Birth of a Salesperson D. More Than Just Cookies 第二節(jié):閱讀下面短文和問題,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容和每小題后的具體要求,在答題卡相應(yīng)題號后的橫線上寫下相關(guān)信息,完成對該問題的回答。答語要意思清楚,結(jié)構(gòu)正確,書寫工整。 Lillian Hanson, a college junior, expects to graduate in about two years. Mrs. Hanson, a rather unusual student, plans to go on to take more courses after she gets her degree. What makes Mrs. Hanson different from most of her classmates? What sets Lillian Hanson apart from the college crowd is her age-73 years. She has been going to college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years. When Mrs. Hanson graduated from high school, she went to her local bank and asked for a loan for college tuition and fees. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn't think that a country girl should be borrowing money to go to college. He thought she should be home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Mrs. Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. She still lives with her husband on the farm that has been in the family for five generations. Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown up, she tried again. She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age to be sitting in class for long periods of time. Because she is not able to move as quickly and easily as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep from getting rigid. At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give Mrs. Hanson big applause when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her goals were. 63. What makes Lillian Hanson different from most of her classmates? (不多于兩個單詞) 64. What does she find the hardest part of going back to school (不多于七個單詞) 65.
