Red roses were her favorites; her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, “Be my Valentine(情人)，” like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, “I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.” She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. She cut away some stems, placed them in a very special vase, and set the vase beside the picture of his smiling face. She would sit for hours in her husband’s favorite chair, staring at his photo and the roses sitting there.
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. Loneliness and solitude had become her fate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentine’s Day before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and just looked at them in shock. Then, she went to get the telephone to call the florist(花匠）shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain why someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.
“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago，” the owner said, “I knew you'd call, and you would want to know. The flowers you received today were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead. He left nothing to chance.”
“There is a standing order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance; you'll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card ... he did this years ago.” “Then, should ever, I find out that he's no longer here. That’s the card ... that should be sent to you the following year.” She
thanked him and hung up the phone ，her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, she slowly reached to get the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. Then ，as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote: “Hello my love, I know it’s been a year since I was gone. I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. If it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say. You were the perfect wife.”
“You were my friend and lover; you satisfied my every need. I know it’s only been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”
“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. But, my love, you must go on; you have some living still.”
“Please ... try to find happiness, while living out your days. I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and they will only stop when your door’s not answered, when the florist stops to knock. He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt. To take the roses to the place, where I’ve instructed him, and place them where we are, together once again.”

第二节：英国著名歌手阿黛尔前往美国参加了 2012年格莱美颁奖典礼，回到英国后接受 了当地媒体的采访，回答了记者提出的S个问题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F) 中选出与她的回答(第61-65题)相匹配的问题。选项中有一项是多余选项。 A. When did you realize you wanted to be a singer?
B. What do you think of the TV shows you did while in America? C. What does your new single “Chasing pavements” actually mean? D. What unique ways do you employ to write these “sad love songs”？ E. Has winning the award added to the pressure you are experiencing?
F. You studied at the Brit School. Why do you think if S produced so many stars in recent years? 61. _______
Yeah, I did “Letterman” and “The Today Show”. I have no idea what they were equal to because obviously we don’t have them here. I like the two shows which are like “Imagine GMTV” but on a much bigger scale. It was live and there were about 50 million people watching, so I literally express myself! “Letterman” was pre-recorded so I wasn't quite nervous, but I forgot that during my performance. I got halfway through the song and couldn’t remember whether it was live or not. 62. _______
Obviously when I was little ，but mainly from when I was 16 onwards. I first remember singing when I was really little, probably when I was about six. I did a Spice Girls tribute in my room for my family. And then I went to study at the Brit School, the performing arts school in Croydon. To be honest, I really enjoyed my time there, where I did actual lessons, but they didn’t force anything onto you. They just aimed to help you develop. They nurtured you, you know. 63. _______
I was thinking about this the other day, because, before this year, the Brit School didn’t actually produce anyone. All this money was being pumped into it, and nobody was coming out of it and doing well, so I think they were getting a bit worried. I think the Brit School’s produced loads of great people that nobody knows yet, but off the back of Amy Winehouse, who earned six nominations, including Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her hit “Rehab” and Album of the Year for “Back to Black”，it’s been getting more support. Suddenly all these great girls came forward in this great outburst of
talent——I think ifs just luck and timing, to be honest..
64 _______In the past years I’ve tried to sit down and think “Right, this is what Fm going to write about”, but I can't because you can’t force it. AU my songs are a bit sad and full of drama because when Fm happy I haven’t got time to write songs, you know. When I’ve had my heart broken, I end up feeling sorry for myself and writing songs.” Therefore， there wasn’t really a specific process to it. I just sort of happen to sit and wait patiently until I'm ready to write the record. I can’t really plan it very well. If I try to plan, it never works out well. 65_______
It doesn’t really make sense, does it? “Chasing Pavements” is about chasing a boy—even
if you know something’s going to go wrong, you really want it to go right, so you just don’t give up. I can’t write other people’s drama, and I can’t glamorize a microwave or anything like that, so I end up writing songs about things I’ve experienced. Then ，I got a whole album’s worth of songs out of them!

During the summer vacation this year, I thought I should do everything meaningful
instead of stay at home, so I got a job at a KFC fast food restaurant and worked there like a cleaner. I worked eight hours a day for three week. The job was hard and bored, and it seemed endless, what made me so tired that I nearly gave it up halfway. And I stuck to it with great determination. Every day I start off for work early in the morning and got to home late in the evening. Finally I finished the job before the new term began. Now, I understand what labor means. I think it is really great experience. 第二节：书面表达(满分30分）
