Upon reaching downtown El Paso, when I was 14. I met an old man, a bum(流浪者), on the street corner. He asked me if I was 36 away from home.

South Korean movies and television series have been popular in China for almost a decade. What is the secret behind this and other shows that have Chinese fans scrambling for the nation’s food and fashion?
South Korean TV soap opera Dae Jang Geum is winning over Chinese audiences thanks to actress Lee Young-Ae in the title role and the delicate art of Korean cuisine(饮食). “Han liu”, a transliteration of “cold front” is the Chinese acronym (首字缩拼词) for “Korean trends”, referring to the appeal of pop culture from South Korea. It’s recently reached a new peak with the airing of Dae Jang Grum. Also called The Great Jang Geum of Jewel in the Palace, Dae Jang Geum is a 2003 television soap apera produced by South Korean YV channel MBC. It has been sweeping across much of the Chinese-speaking world Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Chinese communities in San Francisco, Chicago as well as in Malaysia.
Now the show has come to the Chinese mainland. Hunan Satellite Television paid 10 million yuan (US$1.2million) to buy the mainland distribution rights. It purportedly has already doubled its investment by simply reselling the rights to other regional stations. This does not include revenues from commercials. Its claim to first airing in the mainland market, however, was destroyed by China Entertainment Television Broadcast Limited, a Tom Group company. The satellite television channel started airing the show on August 15, half a month before its debut on Hunan Satellite TV.
The show is about Jang Geum, a royal physician in the early days of the Joseon Dynasty(1392-1910). Many people hold that the character is based on the real life of the first female royal physician in Korean history. Others argue she is more likely a composite of several historical characters.
Audiences, however, hardly care for the details. They have been swept off the ground by the exquisite beauty of Lee Young-Ae, the actress who plays the title role, and more importantly, by the delicate craft(技艺) of Korean cuisine and medicine.
60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Hunan Satellite Television has earned its double investment on Dae Jang Geum in all.
B. Dae Jang Geum has been popular with the people in the Chinese-speaking world.
C. Hunan Satellite Television was first airing the television series in the mainland market.
D. Dae Jang Geum has been paid US$12million for its mainland distribution rights.
61. Why is Dae Jang Geum accepted by Chinese people?
A. Because the beautiful actress Lee Young-Ae plays the title role.
B. Because people in China are interested in the pop culture from South Korean.
C. Because a large of money was invested in the play.
D. Both A and B.
62. The underlined phrase “swept off the ground by” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ___.
A. struck by B. stuck by C. attacked to D. fastened on
63. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Audiences all agree that Jang Deum was the first female royal physician in Korean history.
B. Audiences all agree that Jang geum was a composite of several historical characters.
C. Audiences certainly care much for the delicate craft of Korean cuisine and medicine.
D. Audiences are all concerned about who has the first distribution rights of he play in China.
C
This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist(精神科医生) that she felt that her whole life was empty; it had no meaning.
So the counselor called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors, and then said to the rich lady, “ I’m going to ask Mary here to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is listen”.
So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story: “Well, my husband died of malaria(疟疾) and three months later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody … I had nothing left. I couldn’t sleep; I couldn’t eat; I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life. Then one evening a little kitten(小猫) following me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk, and it licked the plate clean. Then it purred and rubbed against my leg, and for the first time in months, I smiled. Then I stopped to think: if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe doing something for people could make me happy. So the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed. Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy. Today, I don’t know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I’ve found happiness, by giving it to others.
When she heard that, the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.
64. What is mainly discussed in the story?
A. Happiness comes from giving.
B. Helping a kitten is the biggest pleasure.
C. All of us can find happiness.
D. The old lady is the richest person.
65. Which of the following can take the place of the underlined phrase “ taking my own life”?
A. Taking care of myself. B. Living a happy life by myself.
C. Living in my own lifestyle D. Killing myself.
66. Who helped the old lady make a turning point in her miserable life?
A. Her psychiatrist B. The rich lady. C. A little kitten D. Her husband
67. From the story we can infer that ____.
A. the rich lady was unhappy because she was not rich enough
B. the rich lady began to know the source of happiness
C. the old lady became rich after telling her story
D. the old lady had nothing left

Adding a seaweed extract(海藻萃取物) to junk food could make it healthier without changing the taste, scientists say. Newcastle University researchers say adding the tasteless extract, called alginate(藻酸盐), would increase the fibre content of pies, burgers and cakes. This, they say, would mean people could still enjoy the foods they like, but eat more healthily. The research has been published in the journal Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition. High-fibre diets, including foods such as brown bread and fruit and vegetables, have been shown to help reduce the indicence of life threatening illness. Alginate is high in fibre, so it can boost the fibre content of foods. But it also has other properties and uses. The researchers say it could be used as an anti-obesity treatment, because it forms a “lump” in the stomach and therefore helps you feel full.
Alginate is already widespread use by the food industry as a gelling agent(胶凝剂) and to thicken the frothy head (泡沫) of some lagers(啤酒). The Newcastle team looked at two brown-colored seaweeds which are found in the Far East, South America and parts of Norway and Scotland. The seaweed is processed in the laboratory to produce alginate---- a tasteless and odorless off-white colored powder--- that can then be added to food to enhance fibre content.
Professor Jeff Pearson, a member of the research team, said: “ We’ve just not eating enough fibre, yet we need this to keep us healthy.” The problem is that a lot of people don’t enjoy many of the foods that are high in fibre, like fruit and vegetable, yet to consume the recommended daily amount of fibre they would have to eat a lot of types of foods. “We believe it’s hard to change people’s habits and that the most practical solution is to improve the food they do eat.” With a burger, for example, you would simply remove some of the fat and replace it with the seaweed extract, which is an entirely natural product from a sustainable resource. “You’d have a healthier burger and it’s unlikely to taste any different.”
68. According to the passage, alginate is a tasteless and off-white colored powder that can ___.
A. cause threatening illness
B. improve the fibre content of foods
C. make people feel full before eating
D. make food taste different
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. It’s hard to change people’s diet habits
B. The fat in some foods can be taken away and replaced with the seaweed extract.
C. Most people like eating foods which are high in fibre.
D. High-fibre diets could be used to make people lose weight.
70. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ____.
A. to tell us scientists have found a way to make junk food healthier
B. to persuade people to eat more alginate
C. to discuss the skill of combining junk food with the seaweed extract
D. to teach people how to absorb alginate
E
Twenty-seven previously unknown species of spiders, centipedes(蜈蚣), scorpion-like creatures and other animals have been discovered in the dark, damp caves beneath two national parks in the Sierra Nevada, biologists say. “ Not only are these animals new to science, but they’re adapted to very specific environments---some of them, to a single room in one cave,” said Joel Despain, a cave specialist who helped explore 30 of the 238 known caves in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The discoveries included a relative of the pill bug(球潮虫) so translucent that its internal organs are visible, particularly its long, bright yellow liver. There was also a daddy longlegs with jaws bigger than its body, and a tiny fluorescent(发光的) orange spider. “Many people will be looking at these trying to find where they fit in the tree of life,” said Darrell Ubick, a cave biologist with the San Francisco-based California Academy of Sciences. While it is extremely rare to find new mammal or bird species on the surface, caves still hold many secrets. Like the deep sea, they are often difficult to reach and seldom explored.
Discovering to many species was thrilling, said Jean Krejca, a consulting bioligist with Austin, Texas-based Zara Environmental who helped lead the three-year exploration. Park officials plan to adopt measures to protect the caves, Despain said. Most of them are not accessible to the public, and can be visited only by researchers or experienced explorers with permits. The species have yet to be named, described scientifically and placed in the continuum(同一类别) of known living organisms. “ We don’t know how long they live, what kind of habitat they prefer, how many offspring they have, or how sensitive they are to human disturbance,” Krejca said. “ There’s still so much to learn.”
71. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Scientists Find New Animal Species
B. Discovering New Species Is Thrilling
C. Scientists Find the Secrets of the Caves
D. Many New Species Live in One Room
72. It can be learned from what Joel Despain said in the first paragraph that ___.
A. there isn’t enough room for them to live together
B. not all these animals are new to science
C. some of them can only live in a unique cave
D. some of them like to live together.
73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The new species were discovered in California.
B. There are 238 caves which have been known in the two national parks.
C. The exploration lasted 30 years.
D. A tiny fluorescent orange spider has jaws bigger than its body.
74. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The scientists have exposed all the secrets of the new species.
B. The new species have been open to the public.
C. The scientists still have much to study about those species.
D. It’s very easy for the scientists to find the 27 previously unknown species.
75, The passage probably comes from ____.
A. a tale B. an essay C. an advertisement D. a newspaper

Some people think that it seems impossible for all the people to achieve success in the same way---- by going to school. Many gifted people, such as Edison and Bill Gates, took different routes. Since education doesn’t treat everyone fairly, we should encourage some people to develop in other ways.
However, others say those who think knowledge is useless are so short-sighted. An investment in education always results in the best interests. And natural abilities are like plants, which need pruning by study,
But what I should care about is how to teach children, so they develop their own skills that they need to be successful.
