The young oranges are growing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings’ expert care , will produce a good crop of oranges this year.　　But Ed has to fight against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crops. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts（霜）. When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.　　What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.　　But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees’ branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.　　Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can tell when temperatures drop to freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and we’ll all have the benefits（or advantages） of computer – age oranges.　　1.The passage is mainly about????????? .　　A.a farmer’s expert care for his orange trees　　B.the different uses of computers　　C.growing oranges in Florida’s changeable weather　　D.different ways of frost protection　　2.In the writer’s eyes, computers????????? .　　A.are too expensive for small farmers　　B.can be a valuable tool for the farmer　　C.can be used to help oranges grow bigger　　D.cannot take the place of the farmer’s experience and judgment　　3.Which of the following is NOT NECESSARY for Ed Rawlings to do?　　A.He should water the orange trees as soon as the temperature drops to the freezing point.　　B.He should decide the quantity of water for the orange trees.　　C.He has to water the orange trees more often in January and February.　　D.He has to judge how often he should water the orange trees.　　二、七选五　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

）　　1.The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its army, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the country can supply the money.　　2.That is, a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else, he must pay tax if his income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.　　Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, tobacco, wine, etc. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops.3.　　People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid.4.And we cannot have an army without paying for it.　　5.We have no real cause to complain when we are asked to pay taxes for the good of ourselves and for our fellow citizens.　　A．Why must we pay taxes?　　B．Why do people often complain?　　C．Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided.　　D．Taxes, however, should be cancelled.　　E. One of the most important taxes is income tax.　　F. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.　　G. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies.　　三、完形填空　　完形填空(共20小题；　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。
