In the early times some people learned 1. (grow) crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.

Since 2. (sixteen) century, the word farm has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word farm is linked 3. economics. The word farm comes from the Latin word, firma, 4. means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest 5. (mean) of the English word farm was a yearly payment 6. (make) as a tax or rent.

Farmers know that 7. is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay (干草) has to be cut and gathered 8. it is dry. So a wise farmer never delays gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear.

A wise person copies the farmer. He works when 9. (condition) are right. A new mother, for example, 10. (quick) learn to try to sleep when her baby is quite, even in the middle of the day. If the mother delays, she may lose her chance to sleep. So, the mother learns to make hey while the sun shines.

 

1.to grow

2.the sixteenth

3.to

4.which

5.meaning

6.made

7.it

8.when

9.conditions

10.quickly

【解析】

1.1】固定搭配learn to do…學(xué)做某事，所以此空填to grow

2.2】此處應(yīng)該是第十六世紀(jì)，所以要用序數(shù)詞，序數(shù)詞前加the表示“第幾----”，故填the sixteenth

3.3】固定搭配be linked to…與---有關(guān)聯(lián)，所以填to

4.4】the Latin word, firma,作先行詞，后面是一個(gè)which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。句意是：?jiǎn)卧~farm來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ)的firma，它意味著一個(gè)不變的付款。

5.5】the earliest是形容詞最高級(jí)，后面應(yīng)該用名詞，故用mean的名詞形式meaning

6.6】payment和make之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，且句子有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞故用過(guò)去分詞made,句意是：專家們說(shuō)最早英語(yǔ)單詞farm的意思是每年的租金或稅收的付款。

7.7】Farmers know that后面的賓語(yǔ)從句應(yīng)用it作形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是后面的動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)。句意是：農(nóng)民們知道，當(dāng)太陽(yáng)照耀的時(shí)候曬干草是必要的。

8.8】根據(jù)句意干草必須在天氣干燥時(shí)收割和采集。所以此處應(yīng)該是when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。

9.9】condition后面的be動(dòng)詞是復(fù)數(shù)are，所以名詞condition用復(fù)數(shù)形式conditions

10.10】learn是動(dòng)詞，所以用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，故用quickly

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents（文件）. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.

There on the shelves, each bottle, can ,box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, because he/she is buying not only a product but also his/her belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products.”, as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feelings for packaging, noticed.

Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colours draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that is it very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.

Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.

This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people by to satisfy both body and soul.

1.According to the passage, _____ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.

A. the pleasing color of the package

B. he special taste of the product

C. the strange shape of the package

D. the belief in the product

2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ____________.

A. bring excitement to the consumers

B. attract the consumers’ attention

C. catch the eye movement of the consumers

D produce a happy and peaceful feeling

3.“And the word green today can keep food prices going up ” This sentence suggests that consumers today are _________.

A. starting to notice the importance of new food

B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before

C. beginning to like green vegetables

D. paying more attention to their health

4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.

A vegetable dish B. healthy juice

C. iced drink D red vegetable
