famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. it is also called “paps”. paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos. the goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money normally a small newspaper, magazine or website. there is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. however, there are laws that protect certain individuals. for example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.there is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities (名人) and taking their pictures either. however, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. however, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. they then pass the information on to paparazzi. an informer could be anyone from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. but sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.what a love-hate relationship between

people are tired. d. in some cases, paparazzi and famous people rely on each other. bwell-written reviews of books, music, movies, and other products can arouse peoples interest. when writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you like or dont like. give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. grammar hint for reviews: when describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.book reviews discuss an authors technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. does the story flow? is there a strong sense of character and place? did you stay up until dawn to finish it? is it good reading for teenagers? what influence did it have on you and why? if youve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.movie reviews think of the major oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. do these work together? did some hold up while others didnt? if the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. if the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so dont give away an exciting scene or the ending!college reviews begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. think about all aspects of your college visit. what academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? what are the students like? what makes the college different from others? every school has strengths and weaknesses. be objective. consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending it. 25. when writing a review, you _.a. cannot refer to any previous review b. must express your own views and opinions c. must provide some information about the authord. neednt

answer to a question. but there is one question that has millions of current answers. that question is “whats your name?” everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.have you ever wondered about peoples names? where do they come from? what do they mean?peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. some parents choose the name of a well-known person. a boy could be named george washington smith; a girl could be named helen keller jones.some people give their children names that mean good things. clara means “bright”; beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; donald means “world ruler”; leonard means “as brave as a lion”.the earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. a family with the name brook or brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪)；someone who was called longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. the greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.other early surnames came from peoples occupations. the most common occupational name is smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. in the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. some other occupational names are: carter a person who owned or drove a cart; potter a person who made pots and pans.the ancestors of the baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. the carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. when there were two men who were named john in the same village, the john with the gray hair probably became john gray. or the john who was very tall could call himself john tallman. john fish was probably an excellent swimmer and john lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. english-speaking people added s or son. the johnsons are descendants of john; the roberts familys ancestor was robert. irish and scottish people added mac or mc or o. perhaps all of the macdonnells and the mcdonnells and the odonnells are descendants of the same donnell.28. which of the following aspects are not covered in the surnames of the passage? a. peoples characters. b. peoples occupations.c. places where people lived. d. talents that people possessed.29. according to the passage, the ancestors of the potter family most probably _.a. owned or drove a cart b. made things with metalsc. built houses and furniture d. made kitchen tools or containers30. suppose an english couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _.a. beatrice smith b. leonard carter c. donald greenwood d. george longstreet31. the underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a persons _.a. ancestors b. later generations c. friends and relatives d. colleagues and partners d lets read the descriptions of the following scenes of shopping. a man enters a store to buy milk. he walks out of the store with milk. that is all milk. at the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. she buys it. but, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. she also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husbands niece. then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. and dont forget soap for the bathroom.and that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. generally speaking，men do one thing at a time. women do many. doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. a recent study has confirmed what we have known all alongmen and women think differently.scientists at the university of pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. they found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. in the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. the left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. the right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.regina verma is a professor at the university of pennsylvania. she co-wrote the report. she says when women are asked to do something difficult, they might use different parts of the brain. men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.as a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. there is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. women take a less direct path to find a solution.dr. verma warns that the study should not lead anyone to expect some behaviors from women and others from men.32. by describing the scene of shopping, the writer wants to _ .a.criticize womens wasted living expenses b. illustrate men and womens different brainsc.think highly of womens considerate behaviord. reveal men and womens preference of living expenses33. when asked to deal with a problem, _ .a. men tend to take action straight b.women tend to take action straightc.women tend to use a single part of the brain d.men tend to use connected parts of the brain34. dr. vermas warning indicates that _ .a.women and men can hardly cooperate well b.women and men can hardly complete multitasksc.women and men can hardly learn from each otherd.neither women nor men can always perform the same behavior35. what would be the best title for the passage?a. reason or sensitivityb. multi-tasking or single-taskingc. “reason” brain or “creative” brain d. costly shopping or economical shopping第二节: （共5小题； 每小题 2分，满分 10分） 36 we are learning from life constantly, as long as we recognize and accept those lessons. when you choose to be a student of life, you open yourself to limitless opportunities.explore the world. dont limit yourself to your hometown or to the city you got your first job. 37 it doesnt have to be just one town or one apartment complex. backpacking may not be for everyone, but its the only way you can see the world. travelling doesnt just have to be going overseas but also dropping by many states. culture exists not just in a country but even in small communities.acquire new life skills. maybe its time that you finally learn how to fix a broken faucet or even fix the faulty light in your bathroom. you can finally cross out your bucket list items that have been there forever. learn how to drive a car or ride a bike. there are definitely things you dont know how to do, and you have a lifetime ahead of you to learn. 38 be cultured. watch as many movies and read as many books as possible. and it doesnt mean that you only watch the ones with high ratings from critics. books and movies are the fruit of the writers or the makers life experiences and understanding of their surroundings. movies and books are a good look into how people interpret the world. 39 for some individuals, to grow older means to keep your circle of friends down to a few, but that shouldnt stop you from meeting new people. widen your circle by allowing people into your life and letting them get to know you. widening your circle to people from all walks of life gives you a bigger and better perspective of the world. do many firsts. when was the last time you did something for the first time? 40 . it can be as simple as watching a movie alone or as big as trying bungee jumping. doing something for the first time doesnt need to have a life-changing effect. it can be a simple realization that apparently, going to a film screening by yourself isnt so bad. so, there are so much more to learn, especially now that were virtually connected to everyone in the world. as a student of life, its really up to you to use all your resources and make it into something enriching.a. widen your circle.b. entertain yourself. c.
