阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd. I has grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply, “Have a great day！”
But that wasn't the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name—Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
36．The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because ________．
A．the cashier couldn't work as fast as others B．there were some big purchases
C．the cashier did more than scanning the items D．the writer was not patient enough 37．According to the writer, when common people ask you “How's it going？” ________． A．they don't really care what you may answer B．they are just practicing their conversation ability C．they are inquiring about your private information D．they don't expect to hear any negative answers
38．What can we infer about Sam Walton? A．He might be Marty's father or grandfather.
B．He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.
C．He might have died while working in the market. D．He might have come back from the dead once before. 39．What does the writer intend to express through the text? A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises. B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way. C．Being different is a good way of doing business. D．A little positive action can make a big difference.
B
Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs, of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France). The statistics(统计数据)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more typical Americans live in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.
40．If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?
A．About 25 million. B．More than 25 million. C．Less than 25 million. D．Less than 225 million.
41．Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?
A．United States. B．Germany. C．France. D．England.
42．What's the meaning of the underlined word “metropolitan”？ A．Of a large city with its suburbs. B．Of small and large towns. C．Of urban areas. D．Of rural areas.
43．According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States? A．Most small towns become gradually crowded. B．Small towns are still similar to each other.
C．As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different. D．Small towns are turning into large cities.

The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (稀树草
原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an
important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small
plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
44．What is the passage mainly about? A．Disappearance of African elephants.
B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants. C．The effect of African elephants' search for food. D．The eating habit of African elephants.
45．What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean? A．Fixing the time. B．Worsening the state.
C．Improving the quality. D．Deciding the conditions. 46．What do we know about the open spaces in the passage? A．They result from the destruction of rain forests. B．They provide food mainly for African elephants. C．They are home to many endangered animals. D．They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
47．The passage is developed mainly by ________． A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes B．pointing out similarities and differences C．describing the changes in space order D．giving examples
D
Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is all wrong.
Here's a list of tips from Carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time：
Test yourself：Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool，” Carey says. But psychologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material you've studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it，” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it two times over.”
Move around：Changing up where you study can help you retain more information. “If you move around and study the same material in several places，” he says, “you may be forming?multiple associations for the same material, the same words and so on. So it's better anchored in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”
