       The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates(種植園). The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.

       Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing(加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.

       Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill .There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required .For black tea ,the young green leaves are first spread out o shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this ,the leaves are passed through heavy rollers .This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste .Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment （發(fā)酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea .The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves .The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.

68.In the first paragraph ,the word “pruning” means       .

  A.regular cutting of the plants    B.frequent watering

  C.regular use of chemicals         D.growing the plants high in the mountain

69.One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that        .

  A.they work harder than men do in the picking

  B.they can throw their pickings more easily into the baskets

  C.their fingers fit them better for the job.

  D.they can more easily find the twin leaves.

70.How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?

  A.Three.    B.Four.    C.Five.    D.Six.

71.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?

  A.To introduce various methods of tea processing.

  B.To persuade readers to buy tea from Sri Lanka.

  C.To tell a story that had happened in the tea gardens.

  D.To inform readers of tea growing ,picking and processing.

million years．However，they are now an endangered species．This means that if humans don,t do
something to save them，they will soon go the way of dinosaurs．
Humans have made life very difficult for manatees．One big danger that humans have
introduced is the speedboat．Because manatees are mammals．they need to come to the surface to breathe about every 5 to 6 minutes．This means that they are in constant danger of being caught in the propellers(螺旋槳)of speedboats．And boating aceidents are the greatest cause of death for them．
Manatees are in extra danger when they are in their sleeping or“torpor”state．They still
have to come to the surface for the air，but sometimes they are too sleepy to avoid the danger of approaching boats．
Another danger for manatees is the pollution that humans produce．Due to human pollution，
a deadly plant called red tide had increased greatly in the Gulf of Mexico．The plant，or algae，
t11riVes(繁茂)on pollution．It wiped out nearly 20 percent of the total manatee population on
earth．
Humans can help to save manatees。The government has established boating speed limits to
give the manatees．a chance to escape approaching speedlsoats．Everyone can help by cutting
down on waste and pollution to protect the waters for the manatees．
One famous singer，Jimmy Buffet，has helped save the manatees．He co-founded the Save the Manatee Club(SMC)．SMC had begun an adoption(收養(yǎng))program for the manatees．For a fee，sponsors(資助者)can name a manatee．Donations are used to help protect the manatees and their habitat．

To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians (基督教徒) ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Colu brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the man were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father's house had been the "introduction of this wonderful new fruit -- or is it a vegetable?" As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an "evil fruit".
But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. "What are you afraid of?" he shouted. "I'll show you fools these things are good to eat!" Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.
【小題1】The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because _______.

A．it made Christians evilB．it was the apple of Eden
C．it came from a forbidden landD．it was religiously unacceptable
【小題2】What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A．The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down.
B．There was little progress in the study of the tomato.
C．The tomato was still refused in most western countries.
D．Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato.
【小題3】What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?
A．To make himself a hero.
B．To remove people's fear of the tomato.
C．To speed up the popularity of the tomato.
D．To persuade people to buy products from his factory.
【小題4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To challenge people's fixed concept of the tomato.
B．To give an explanation to people's dislike of the tomato.
C．To present the change of people's attitudes to the tomato.
D．To introduce the establishment of the first tomato-canning factory.

In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.
First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time—two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.
1. Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?
A. To pay for his schooling.                                 
B. To save for his future.
C. To support his family                                      
D. To gain some experience
2. The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT ______.
A. loading boxes in the freezing cold                           
B. having limited time for breaks
C. working and studying at the same time              
D. getting no pay for lunch time
3. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. The writer’s unhappy school life.                     
B. The writer’s eagerness to earn money.
C. The writer’s experience to earn money.                   
D. The writer’s hard work in an apple plant.
4. How is the text organized?
A. Topic—Argument—Explanation                      
B. Opinion—Discussion—Description
C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting examples 
D. Introduction—Supporting examples—Conclusion
