Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches（路沟）along the highway I travel daily to work.

Mail was usually carried west on ships that sailed around the bottom of South America and then north to California. That could take several months.
So, in 1875, D. C. Lawmakers in Congress in Washington wanted to make it possible to send mail all the way across the United States by land. Congress offered to help any company that would
try to deliver mail overland to the West Coast. A man named John Butterfield accepted this offer. He developed plans for a company that would carry the mail—and passengers, too.
Congress gave John Butterfield six hundred thousand dollars to start his company. In return, he had to promise that the mail would travel from Saint Louis, Missouri, to San Francisco, California, in twenty-five days or less.
It was not possible to travel straight through because of the Rocky Mountains and the deep snow that fell in winter. So the stagecoach would travel south from Saint Louis to El Paso, Texas, then over to southern California, then north to San Francisco. The distance was about four thousand five hundred kilometers.
Two hundred of these stations were built, each about thirty-two kilometers apart. The workers were to quickly change the horses or mules whenever a stagecoach reached the station. There could be no delay. Each stagecoach was to travel nearly two hundred kilometers a day.
One hundred stagecoaches were built and painted red or dark green. They were the most modern coaches that money could buy. They were designed to hold as many as nine passengers and twelve thousand pieces of mail. The seats inside could be folded down to make beds. Passengers either slept on them or on the bags of mail.
The cost would be one hundred fifty dollars to travel from Saint Louis to San Francisco. If a passenger was not going all the way, the cost was about ten cents a kilometer. The passengers had to buy their own food at the stations. The stagecoach would stop for forty minutes, two times a day.
The company warned passengers about the possible dangers. A poster said: “You will be traveling through Indian country and the safety of your person cannot be granted by anyone but God.”
60. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Different ways of sending mail in the United States.
B. The difficulty in sending mails across the USA by land.
C. The first stagecoaches that carried both passengers and mail.
D. The history of the first stagecoaches carrying mail to the American West.
61. The reason why Lawmakers wanted to send mail by land was that ________.
A. mail was usually carried west on ships
B. it was safer to travel to send mail by land
C. it would take less time to send mail by land
D. stagecoaches could carry passengers and mail
62. As is described in the passage, the stagecoach ________.
A. could only stop twice a day
B. was modern with seats and beds
C. was a closed wagon pulled by horses or mules
D. had different horses or mules pulled all the way
63. What can we learn from the passage?
A. John Buttterfields got thousands of dollars for delivering mail in stagecoaches.
B. John Buttterfield kept his promise to deliver mail straight to the West Coast.
C. Passengers might be robbed when traveling through the West.
D. Passengers needed to pay one hundred dollars for their journey.

It is important that you make a good impression at work. If you make a good impression on your boss, he or she is more likely to give you more responsibilities which can lead to promotions （晋级）and raises. Here are some ways to make a good impression at work.
Use Proper Office Etiquette（礼仪）
Using proper manners will help you make a good impression on your boss and also your co-workers. Office etiquette includes everything from the proper way to use e-mails to knowing when, where, and how to use your cell phone at work.
Face Up to Your Mistakes
When you make a mistake at work, which everyone inevitably（不可避免地）does at some point, face up to it. Don't ignore your error or place the blame on others. Take responsibility and come up with a solution to fix your mistake. Your boss may not be too happy about it, but she will at least be impressed with your response.
Know to Call in Sick
Do you think coming to work when you are sick instead of staying at home will impress your boss? Reasonable bosses know that a sick employee not only is unproductive but also he or she can spread an illness around the office. Call in sick when you are ill.
Come Through in a Crisis
When the unexpected happens at work, who will make a better impression on the boss? Of course it's the employee who deals with the crisis quickly and effectively.
64. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Use Good Etiquette
B. How to Deal with Mistakes at Work
C. How to Be a Good Worker in the Future
D. How to Make a Good Impression at Work
65. What should you do if you make a mistake at work?
A. Try to ignore the mistake.
B. Put the blame on others.
C. Think out a solution to your mistake.
D. Leave the company as soon as possible.
66. According to the writer, when you are ill you’d better .
A. go to work on times as usual
B. stay at home without telling others
C. go on working but stay away from others
D. stop working and ask for a leave
67. Who will make good impressions on the boss?
A. Employees who deal with the crisis quickly and effectively.
B. Employees who often make mistakes.
C. Employees who go to work though they are ill.
D. Employees who often use their cell phones at work.
D
Many of the most damaging types of weather begin quickly, strike suddenly, and disappear rapidly, destroying small areas while leaving neighboring areas untouched. Such event as a tornado struck the northeastern part of Edmonton, Alberta, in July 1987. Total damages from the tornado
went beyond $250 million, the highest ever for any Canadian storm.
Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight atmospheric changes that come
before these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large areas than they do forecasting specific local events.
Until recently, the observation intensive method needed for exact, very short-range forecasts, or “Nowcasts,” was not possible. The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional （传统的）weather stations was extremely high, and the difficulties concerned in rapidly collecting and processing the weather data from such a network were hard to overcome.
Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems. Radar systems and satellites are all able to make detailed, nearly continuous observation over large areas at a lower cost. Communications satellites can send out data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modern computers can quickly collect and analyze this large amount of weather information.
Meteorologists（气象学家）and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words and graphic displays（图解）that forecasters can understand easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.
68. Why can’t traditional computer models predict short-lived local storms?
A. The weather data people collect are often wrong.
B. Detailed weather data in some small areas are not available.
C. The computers are not advanced enough to predict them.
D. The computers are not used to forecast specific local events.
69. The word “Nowcast” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. a network to collect storm data
B. a way of collecting weather data
C. a more advanced system of weather observation
D. a forecast which can predict weather in the small area
70. What can make “Nowcasts” a reality according to the passage?
A. Scientific and technological advances.
B. Advanced computer programs.
C. Computer scientists.
D. Meteorologists.
71. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The advantages of “Nowcasts”.
B. A tornado in Edmonton, Alberta.
C. The difficulty in predicting tornado.
D. A great development in weather forecast.
E
Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyl e’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good—bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home—the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others declined the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of departure（离开，出走）is a terrible blow to their pride and self confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It's typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty. ”
72. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle .
A. could not forgive him for taking the children
B. had been expecting it to happen for some time
C. could not understand why
D. blamed herself for what had happened
73. Most people who leave their families behind them .
A. do so without warning
B. do so because of their debts
C. come back immediately
D. change their names
74. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse（配偶）because .
A. their spouse would feel no pain during the death
B. their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence
C. a departure without warning would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
D. their spouse death would make them feel less painful
75. Paul Brown regards leaving home in such circumstances as .
A. an act of despair
B. an act of selfishness
C. the result of a sudden decision
D. the result of the enormous sense of guilt

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
One possible version:
Recently we have had a discussion about whether we should have classes on weekends.
40% of us think we should have class on weekends because the college entrance examinations will be held in June, and we should make full use of our free time to review what we have learnt. Another 50% are against the idea of having classes on weekends. They believe students should have a good rest on weekends so that they can study more effectively during the weekdays. The rest 10% don’t agree with either of the ideas a bove. They think study and rest are both important for students. So they suggested one day of the weekend should be used to study and the other to have a rest.
From my point of view, it’s not good to have classes on weekends since only when we have a good rest and a strong body can we study well.。
