People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet--the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained--and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? ( 1966 )
Taylor' s fame(名聲) and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $ 1 million for her part in Cleopatra--the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (傳奇人物) of our times. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she had been lucky, and she had beauty, fame and wealth. But she was also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acted in movies any more. Instead, she put her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others--several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $ 40 million for research and education.
45. The producers didn' t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she _________.
A. was small in size
B. was too young
C. did not play well enough
D. did not show much interest
46. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both _________.
A. popular all their lives
B. famous actresses
C. successful when very young
D. rich and kindhearted
47. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of _________.
A, 12
B. 28
C. 31
D. 34
48. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to _________.
A. doing business and helping others
B. turning herself into a legend
C. collecting money for the poor
D. going about research and education work

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it. "
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later I returned to school--walking on my own!
When the Great Depression(大蕭條) hit, my morn lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the secondclass hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $ 2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽車旅館)for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly, Mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother' s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the word--Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
49. What Kemmons' morn often told him during his childhood was
A. caring
B. moving
C. encouraging.
D. interesting
50. According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?

B. Nurses.
C. Friends..
D. Morn.
51. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?
A. His terrible experience in the hotel.
B. His previous business success at various levels.
C. His mom's support.
D. His wife's suggestion.
52. Which of the following best describes Kemmons' mother?
A. Modest, helpful and hardworking.
B. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.
C. Careful, helpful and beautiful.
D. Strict, sensitive and supportive.
53. Which of the following led to Kemmons' success according to the passage?
A. Self-confidence, had work, higher education and a poor family
B. Mom' s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.
C. Clear goals, Mom' s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.
D. Mom' s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.

Equipped only with a pair of binoculars (雙筒望遠鏡) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch(紅腹灰雀). Britain's birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.
Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches (雀科鳴鳥) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.
"Almost three million UK birdwatchers are certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest," Stephen Moss said in his newly published book--A Bird in the Bush: a Social History of Birdwatching--which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman' s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.
Television wildlife programmers have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2' s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million viewers and led to birdhouses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.
Birdwatchers' networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera--a golden-winged songbird from North America--to be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www. birdline, co. uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.
"Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers," said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine, "The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment. "
54. The word "satiated" in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by _________.
A. affected
B. shared
C. satisfied
D. narrowed
55. What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?
A. Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.
B. Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.
C. Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.
D. Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.
56. Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?
A. Television wildlife programmers started the popular pastime of birdwatching.
B. The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.
C. Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.
D. The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.
57. The passage mainly tells us about _________ in the UK.
A. the history of birdwatching
B. a growing passion for birdwatching
C. the impact of media on birdwatching
D. birdwatching as a popular expensive sport

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious(明顯的) to the listeners. Why? Because thelisteners do not know what the speaker, plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any wiser. When such moments occur, don' t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn' t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King' s famous speech--"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (結(jié)巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a
kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流). They feel the listeners are like
judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect perform-
er. They are looking for a well-though-out speech that expresses the speaker' s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker' s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don' t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
58. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will
A. be smarter than you
B. notice your mistakes
C. do better than you
D. know what you are talking about
59. You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.
A. your attention is focused on the content
B. you don' t fully understand the speech
C. you don' t know what the speaker plans to say
D. you find the way of speech-making more important
60. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. giving a speech is like giving a performance
B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be

V．書面表達
Last weekend, I had an interview with Professor Wang, an eye-doctor, talking about the issue of short-sightedness of school children in China. According to Professor Wang, slightly more than half of the school children .in our country are short-sighted, ranking the first in the world. He also pointed out that the causes for short-sightedness are so complicated that no medicine can cure shortsightedness. He suggested that school children avoid overuse of their eyes and do more outdoor activities. He particularly reminded us that how to hold a pen is also related to short-sightedness.
