  He may not be the world’s wealthiest endorser(代言人),but he is certainly one of the tallest.That 2.26-metre height has helped NBAAll—Star Yao Ming on the basketball court and in marketing deals.

  The Chinese centre for the Houston Rockets has already appeared in TV spots for Visa and Apple and he just signed a deal for commercials for Gatorade,the spots drink.His quick rise has surprised some marketing experts, because many expected Yao’s court skills—and his status as a product endorser —to take time. “All of a sudden, he’s all over the place,”said Bob Dorfman, creative executive director for San Francisco-based Pickett Advertising. “I think it’s a surprise to see how comfortable he is on camera and how charming he is without being able to speak more than a few sentences of English.”

 Ric Iverson,the vice president of sales for Harbrew,a beer importer and agent in New York.said he was in Houston in June for a restaurant trade show,which took place the same week as the NBA player pick.

 A Houston radio station was throwing a party at a local bar, so Iverson gave them several cases of China’s Yanjing beer, for which Harbrew is the only US im-porter.

 Because the Rockets were expected to choose Yao as the top pick overall that day.about a third of the 3,000 partygoers were Asian,Iverson said.The bar ended up selling all the Yanjing that Harbrew had available,and Iverson later got a call from a Rockets executive who had seen the success of Yanjing beer and wanted to partner with Harbrew.

 Although Yao’s advisers have said that the player does not drink and therefore Would not endorse alcoholic products.Harbrew now has courtside ads at the Compaq Centre in Houston promoting Yanjing in English and Chinese,and the beer is sold at the place during basketball games.

 Dorfman and Bob Williams.chief executive of Burns Sports & Celebrities,an Illinois company that tracks entertainment marketing, said the only way Yao’s off-court deals will improve is whether his court play does.too.

60.The underlined sentence“All of a sudden,he’s all over the place,”means“   

 A.He became famous in a short while

 B.His figure can be seen everywhere very quickly

 C.He flies here and there in the USA

 D.He succeeded out of the expectation of others

61.Ric Iverson gave several cases of China’s Yanjing beer to those attending the party,because he     .

A.admired Yao Ming too much  B.was friendly with the Rockets

C.expected to earn more money  D.found it hard to ship Yanjing beer

62.The author took Ric Iverson as an example to show    

A.he is fairly successful in his career

 B.the NBA player pick is of great importance in American life

 C.Yanjing beer agrees with the Americans

 D.Yao Ming’s presence has indirectly benefited some companies

63.The writer wants to tell us Yao Ming   

 A.is well received in the USA

 B.takes up ads

 C.becomes a hit in ads

 D.shows more interest in ads rather than basketball

C

Criticism is judgement A critic is a judge.A judge must study and think about the material presented to him,accept it,correct it or reject it after thinking over what he has read,watched or heard.

That sort of critical reading might well be called creative reading because I am thinking along with the writer,asking him questions,seeing whether he answers the questions and how well he answers them.I mark the good passages to store them in my memory and ask myself about every other part and about the complete piece of writing where,how and why could or should I improve upon it?

 Don’t believe those who say that bad reading cannot hurt a person.How do they know what will hurt others? Wouldn’t you rather believe the experience of the aged that say,“A man is what he has read”and“Our reading and studies carry over into our lives”?

 Let’s get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading.It helps us to enlarge our minds.We understand more about the universe,its people and many of its wonders. We learn to think and observe in new ways.We certainly do get a feel-ing for the language we are leading.All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and creatively and continuously.

 Reading,critically also helps me to develop and refine my emotions to the point where I can tell whether a report,a story or a poem is genuinely humane(人文的)or not—whether the writer is an honest writer.

 Finally,reading will and must broaden my sympathies,expand my love for others and set it in action.How can a person who has a bit of kindness in his heart read about all the miseries and tragedies that people and nations have and not want to do and actually do what he can to relieve those people in every way he can and as much as he can?

64. By creative reading the writer means    

 A.raising questions and answering them for the author

 B.reading and giving comments on the materials one has read

 C.thinking in the same line with the author

 D.storing up facts in one’s memory

 65.According to the writer,critical reading    

 A.makes a person intelligent   B.makes a person rich

 C.enables a person to write fluently D.gives a person extra work

66.We learn from the passage that all good authors   

 A.have a thorough insight to the problems in life

 B.observe and imitate the ways other authors write

 C.have the feeling of the language they write in

 D.have read extensively and critically

67.According to the last paragraph,reading makes a person    

 A.romantic

 B.sensitive to the feelings of others

 C.sympathetic to the miseries of his fellow-men

 D.a good writer

Recently I was asked, “Are we anywhere near the day when you can climb into a car on Long Island, program it to take you to your niece’s house in Chicago, hit enter, and after the first hundred yards, once you hit a main road, the car takes over automatically and you just sit back and enjoy the ride?”

It is a question I worry about. But I had to answer truthfully, “Absolutely. We are without a doubt near that day.” Look, we’re already doing it with airplanes.

Northrop Grumman’s Global Hawk takes off at an air base in the U.S, climbs to 50,000 feet, flies to Australia, and lands at an Australian air base, where there is a grandstand filled with military officials,—with no human pilot.

The necessary technology is already here. We have radar technology that can be tied to cruise (巡航) control and brakes, which automatically adjusts (调整) your speed based on following distance and preprogrammed settings. It’s still a little bit raw, but it does work great. The technology can allow cars and trucks to follow each other in very closely spaced roads.

GPS can also change speed with location. Let’s say you’re in a state with a 75mph limit and you cross into a state with a 65-mph limit. GPS knows that and can adjust your speed accordingly.

It’s not out of he question to imagine that someday soon you’ll be able to start the car, make proper settings, then turn the front seats around and play cards and eat lunch as if you’re riding on a train. All in perfect comfort and safety, all the way to that niece’s place in Chicago.

If asked to estimate just how far time is, I’d say a working system is ten years out, practice maybe 20 years.

68. The purpose of the question asked in the first paragraph probably is    .

A. to draw readers’ attention to his theory

B. to introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage

C. to describe the cars in the future

D. to prove that his idea is right

69. What’s the key technology to automatical car driving according to the passage?

A. The technology of airplanes.

B. The technology to be developed in the future.

C. The technology of satellites.

D. The technology of radar and GPS.

70. What does the author think of the change in car driving?

A. It’s a terrible thing to come.

B. it’s a wonder to drive such a car.

C. It’s pity to give up the skill of driving.

D. It’s very likely to come true in the future.

71. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

A. Driving is dead?         B. Comfortable car driving

C. Will new technology change cars?  D. Cars in the future

Lacking a cure for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooms. Those with AIDS or those at high risk of AIDS suffer discrimination; they are feared by some people who find living itself unsafe, while others make themselves pretend to be “brave”, which could be dangerous to their lives. AIDS has  afflicted  a society already short on humanism, open-handedness and optimism. Attempts to strike it out with the deadly disease are not abetted (教唆) by pre-existing social ills. Such concerns made me offer the first university level undergraduate AIDS course, with is two aims:

To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus(病毒), not by moral failure or social collapse. The proper response to AIDS is sympathy coupled with an understanding of the disease itself. We want to help the growth of the idea of a humane (人文的)society.

To describe how AIDS tests institutions upon which our society rests. The economy, the political system, science, the legal corporation, the media and our moral attitudes must respond to the disease. Those responses, whispered or screamed, easily accepted or highly argued, must be put in order if the nation is to manage AIDS. Experts have suggested that how a society deals with the harm of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call itself civilized. AIDS may bring out changes of historic relationship. Democracy (民主) gets its educational system to prepare students to become informed citizens, to join their voices to the public opinion inspired by AIDS. Who shall direct just what resources of manpower and money to the problem of AIDS? Even more basic, who shall make a national policy on AIDS? The educational challenge, then, is to enlighten the individual and the societal, or public, responses to AIDS.

72. What is the passage mainly about?

 A. The necessity of the education about AIDS.

B. How to achieve the aims of AIDS courses.

C. The danger resulted from AIDS.

D. Social responses to AIDS.

73. Why did the author offer the AIDS course?

A. He wanted to teach people about a cure for AIDS.

B. People needed to be taught how to avoid those with AIDS.

C. He wanted to teach the students that AIDS resulted from moral failure or social collapse.

D. People took wrong attitudes towards AIDS and those with or at high risk of AIDS.

74. The underlined word “afflicted” means “   ”.

A. benefited       B. caused suffering to

C. drew attention from   D. reached a conclusion on

75. What does the author think is the correct response to AIDS?

A. Fear and hatred.      B. Pretending to be brave.

C. Understanding and helpful.  D. Avoiding getting in touch.

第一节 情景作文

During the final examination, LiMei seemed to have diffculty in working out the problems and meanwhile Zhang Hua cheated without being noticed/ caught, A few days later, the graded papers were returned. LiMei couldn’t help crying because of her poor result while Zhang Hua was pleased with his high marks. From then on Li Mei made greater efforts in her studies than ever before, but Zhang Hua didn’t listen to the teachers attentively any more. In the end, LiMei was admitted into a good university while Zhang Hua failed, regretting cheating and not working hard on his own.

第二节 开放作文

  (1)In my opinion, keeping fit and strong is very important for us senior 3 students. Only when we are in good health can we do well in our studies. So no matter how busy we are preparing for the college entrance examination, we should keep on doing physical exercise at least 30 minutes every day.

(2) I don’t think it is a must for a student of senior 3 to have sports every day. It depends on whether you have time. Since the college entrance examination is drawing near, spending more time on our lessons is more important than taking exercise. I will spare no effort to get high marks.

M: Did you get to talk about their trip to the Caribbean?

W: Oh, yes. They said they had a great time.

M: What did they say the weather was like?

W: They said it was cool. They suggested that we take some warm sweaters and coats.

M: Did you ask how the hotels were?

W: It seemed they were excellent, and not expensive.

M: That’s what I’ve heard. How about communication? Did they say if they had any language problem?

W: Yes. Language was sometimes a problem. They told me that hardly anyone spoke English except for the people in the hotel, but they found the staff of the hotels very helpful and friendly.

M: Well, that’s good. And did they buy much while they were there?

W: Just some toys. They said not to buy clothes in the Caribbean. They were much more expensive than in the States. But they told me you could get gold jewelry for very little.

M: Have you noticed a lot of differences between your country and ours?

W: Well, that’s a difficult question, but I can think of a few. People here dress quite differently, because the weather is warmer here. We wear winter clothes half the year thick trousers and warm sweaters. Here people dress more fashionably. Everyone looks well dressed.

M: Is clothing expensive in your country?

W: Yes. It’s more expensive than here.

M: Do you find it easy to talk to people? Can you make friends easily?

W: Oh, yes. It’s easy to meet people here, even if we speak different language. People are the same everywhere. They worry about the same things. They worry about the cost of living and about the future of their children.

Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

The first one is about drinking. Now , you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

Secondly, noises. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use the crossing for walking and do not take chances when crossing the road.

My next point is about litter. It is against the law to throw away waste material in a public place. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.

Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age. I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should get in touch with your local police station, who will be pleased to help you. Now, are there any questions?
