In the southeastern corner of the United States lies the state of Florida. It is one of the most famous places in the USA.
Among the fifty states, Florida ranks twenty-second in size and ninth in population. It was the twenty-seventh state to become a part of the USA (in 1845). The capital is Tallahassee, but the largest city is Jacksonville. Florida has a pleasant climate. It has so many sunny days that its nickname is the Sunshine State. A Spaniard named Ponce de Leon discovered Florida in 1513. The word Florida in Spanish means “flowery”. He might have given the area this name because of numerous flowers in the area. Pone de Leon went back to Spain but returned in 1521 to colonize the area. However, Spain underestimated the power of the Indians and the Indians killed Ponce de Leon. Two more Spanish groups arrived and were quickly defeated. Finally, in 1565 the Spanish were able to found the city Saint Augustine. This is the oldest permanent（永久） European settlement in the USA.
46. The best title for this passage is____________.
A. The Sunshine State B. Spaniards in the USA
C. A Pleasant Climate D. The History of Florida
47. The author suggests that _________________.
A. Florida has a small population.
B. No one really knows why Ponce de Leon chose the name Florida.
C. the Spaniards had a very easy time trying to set up a colony in Florida.
D. two Spanish groups defeated the Indians and finally founded the city of the Saint Augustine.
48. Florida is the ninth US state in ___________.
A. size B. population C. sunshine D. order of time to join the USA
49. Two Spanish groups that the Indians defeated arrived between_________.
A. 1513 and 1521 B. 1845 and 1865 C. 1565 and 1845 D. 1521 and 1565

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the Jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hill is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip--- so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
51. The writer is probably______________.
A. a worker B. a college teacher C. manager of a company D. a clerk
52. He learned ____________ that there would be a concert last Friday.
A. from his friends B. from one of his colleagues
C. over the radio D. from the newspaper
53. He could go and buy the ticket___________.
A. any day before work hours B. both before and after work hours
C. only during lunch time D. on Saturday
54. He tried to go to the theatre every day but only managed to get there________.
A. once B. twice C. three times D. four times
55. One day the writer took _______ to get to the theater by bus.
A. 45 minutes B. 15 minutes C. exactly 20 minutes D. over an hour
