GaryBOn Christmas Eve, 1944, my grandmother urged my uncle, then 12 years old, to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned near 15 miles east of Vienna to go to Deutsch-Wagram. “People are charitable around Christmastime,” Grandma Lili said to her son, Gyuri. “Ask for some food. Anything they can spare. Tell them that were on the edge of starvation. Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because shes outgrown her shoes.”In the dark of that night, Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town. He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door. A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away, fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say.“e back tomorrow, whispered the woman. The next day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks. The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother. After putting on the socks and shoes that fit, my mother got off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp. It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime.In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated. And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.To the unknown giver, I thank you. In the desperation of a cold and snowy land, when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them hope and fort.24.

Light in darkness B. Peace to mon peopleC. Courage in face of danger D. The influence of ChristmasCPop idolsare celebritieswho burn brighterthan regularstars. If a star is someone you can recognize on the street, an idol is someone who will cause a stir at a public appearance.Without fans, an idol is just an ordinary person, like you and me. As Reese Witherspooonce said while announcing the Oscar for best make-up, movie stars look just like people in documentaries(纪录片) if you see them without make-up.I was once invited to a private party where about half of the guests were stars and the other half entertainment reporters. Guess what? The good-looking ones were the reporters because they tend to be young, and they glow without make-up.Some idols are born; some are made. Most idols are created by a machine called the entertainment industry. They may have some charms and talent, but not enough to bee famous. They are the raw material out of which a star, or even an idol, is made. An army of behind-the-scenes assistants will hype or even make up their virtues and hide their shortings.Paris Hilton is the kind of star who possesses no real talent but yet is quite well-known. This is the result of endless hype. If you are thrust into the limelight often enough, you can bee a celebrity without having any talent.Television contest shows create a much fairer more transparent platform where young people can pete and showcase their talent. The soap opera is another platform for idol making. These drama series are long, giving an actor much needed exposure. The actors and actresses are always well-lit, made up and beautifully dressed. Now all they need is some good dialogue from the scriptwriter(编剧).28. Which of the following statements agrees with the writers viewpoint?A. Most idols are born. B. The entertainment industry is more popular.C. Many stars are often good lookingD. Pop idols are not as pretty as you think.29. Why does the writer use the example of Paris Hilton?A. To show that hype is an important element in making a star.B. To indicate that Paris Hilton is very famous.C. To prove a star often lacks talent.D. To show a star is popular because of the acting skills.30. What does the writer think of the television contest show?A. More practical B. More formal C. More equal D. More petitive31.What does the underlined word “hype” mean in the 4th paragraph ?A. 注射 B. 使兴奋 C. 包装 D.炒作DSmog in Europe and North America could be more than 25 times more deadly than the average air pollution found in Chinese cities, a new study suggests. In the largest ever study of its kind in the developing world, researchers tested the effects of air pollution on the health of people in 272 cities in China.They found average annual exposure to fine particles, known as PM2.5, in those cities was more than five times higher than the level remended by the World Health Organization (WHO), according to a paper in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.However they also discovered that it was much less likely to increase the death rate than PM2.5 in Europe and North America.The researchers, led by Dr Maigeng Zhou, of the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, suggested this was because China is affected by large amounts of natural dust blown by the wind from droughty areas, while most pollution in the West es from industry.They found that for every increase of 10 micrograms of air pollution in a cubic meter of air, the mortality rate(死亡率) increased by 0.22 percent, discounting deaths from accidents.Professor Frank Kelly, an expert in environmental health at Kings College London, who was not involved in the study but has studied air pollution in China, told The Independent: “Those relative risks are considerably less than those seen in Europe and the US. For mortality in Europe we are working on a six percent increase per 10 micrograms.” That suggests air pollution in Europe is about 27 times more poisonous than average air pollution in China.However, Professor Kelly said cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong were likely to suffer from Western-style air pollution. The natural dust ponent there is not of the magnitude(重要) that it would dwarf the coal, biomass and fossil fuel signals,” he said, “That may be true in certain cities whose pollution is not dominated by local power generation or major traffic jam.”Natural dust particles can cause physical damage to the lungs and trigger an asthma attack. Particles of carbon produced when fossil fuels are burned can lead to similar problems but they are also coated with poisonous heavy metals, chemicals and volatile organic pounds. These are able to pass from the lungs into the blood stream where it is thought they cause further damage to the body.Areeba Hamid, an air pollution campaigner with environmental group Greenpeace, said: “Poisonous air causes damage to peoples health wherever in the world they live. We now know fumes from diesel(柴油机) vehicles are a lot more poisonous than car panies claimed and this is a big cause of air pollution in Europe and North America. These panies have a lot to answer for, but so far theyve managed to avoid any real responsibility.”The study of cities in China found the average annual expose to PM2.5 was 56 micrograms per cubic meter, pared to the WHO guideline limit for safe air quality of 10 micrograms.People who were older than 75, had less education or who lived in hotter places were more likely to die. It is thought people in warmer cities were more likely to spend time outside or leave their windows open, thereby breathing more polluted air, the researchers said. They also thought that less well educated people might have poorer access to health care or experience poorer environmental health conditions.32. Why PM2.5 in China is less deadly than that in Europe and North America?A. China is free from any pollution about PM2.5.B. Pollutants affecting China mainly e from droughty areas.C. Fewer people died from PM 2.5 in China than those in Europe and North America.D. Europe and North America are polluted by natural dust.33. What does the underlined part “that” in Para 7 refer to?A. The average mortality rate. B. The higher mortality rate.C. The lower mortality rate. D. The normal mortality rate.34. Whats the real cause of air pollution in Europe and North America according to Areeba Hamid?A. Heavy smoke from diesel vehicles are much more poisonous.B. The environmental agencies cant take on responsibilities.C. The technology doesnt meet the standards.D. Car panies cant evaluate the results.35. The authors purpose of writing the passage is to _.A. appeal to people to lay an emphasis on environmental protection.B. illustrate smog in Europe and North America is quite serious.C. demonstrate China is safest place in the world to live in.D. provide some good ways to address the smog.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。Does meeting new people make you nervous?
