Write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.In November of 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi. His hunt was going 31 that day, and he couldnt seem to find anything worth of 32 his rifle. Then, his staff captured a black baby bear for the president to shoot, but he could not. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he 33 the life of the baby bear and set it free.Based on this story, a famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star drew a cartoon, which showed Teddy Roosevelt, rifle 34 , with his back turned on a cute baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, was 35 by the cartoon to make a stuffed baby bear. Intending it only as a display, he placed the stuffed bear in his toy store 36 , and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper.To Michtoms surprise, his store was flooded by customers 37 to buy.

Write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1 Dinner was almost ready when the killing occurred. When Don Wise wandered into the living room of his home, his ten-year-old son, Mike, and a 12-year-old friend were sitting in front of a larger-screen television set. They were playing a video game they had rented called Golden eye 007, one of the top-selling titles of 2000.Standing behind the boys, Wise saw that the boy pushed the button and shot the character in the face. Blood splattered the lab coat of the character as he whirled and fell. “Youre down!” the boy said, laughing.Chilled by the childs obvious fun, Wise ordered the boys to turn the game off. “This game is disgusting,” he said seriously. “I dont want you to play with this anymore.”Video games have become a pervasive form of entertainment in the 1990s. Today an estimated 69 percent of American families own or rent video and computer games. Most are harmless entertainment, but in far too many of the most popular ones, kids are acting out realistic violent experiences on their TV and computer screens. “These are not just games anymore,” says Rick Dyer, president of the San Diego-based Virtual Image Productions and an outspoken critic of titles with violent and sexual content. “These are learning machines. Were teaching kids in the most incredible manner what its like to pull the trigger. The focus is on the thrill, enjoyment and reward. What theyre not learning are the real-life consequences.”Interactive video games introduce kids to a fantasy world that features amazingly lifelike characters, detailed images of brutality, and an audio mix of heart-pounding music, stereo sound effects and authentic voices. Unlike movies and television, where you watch the violence, the game lets you feel the sensation of committing violent acts. When youre into the game, youre in the game.“The technology is becoming more engaging for kids,” says David Walsh, president of the National Institute on Media and the Family (NIMF), a watchdog group in Minneapolis, “and a part of the games features antisocial themes of violence, sex and crude language. Unfortunately, its a part that seems particularly popular with kids between ages 8 to 15.” 41. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of this passage?A. Video Game Violence Is Harmful to Kids.B. Video Game Is a Common Form of Entertainment.C. Video Game Violence Is Popular with Children.D. Video Game Is an Interactive Entertainment.42. The interactive video games tend to _.A. make children know more about the real lifeB. take children into a virtual world with lifelike violenceC. make children familiar with high tech achievementsD. teach children the consequence of the violent acts43. We can infer from the passage that the _.A. NIMF is a political organization in MinneapolisB. NIMF promotes the media production including video gamesC. NIMF is characteristic for its social justiceD. NIMF is to detect illegal or unethical conducts in the media industry44. The word “pervasive” in Para. 4 most probably means _.A. worldwideB. populousC. widespreadD. harmful45. Which of the following statements would Rick Dyer agree with?A. Video games with some violence teach kids real life experience.B. Video games are good ways to learn more about the world.C. Video games with fantastic features are loved by most kids.D. Video games with violence and sex content have a negative impact on children.Passage 2Since the beginning of time, many scientists have invented many interesting things.

It is the financial center of the USA, exerting a significant influence upon the worlds economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard (奇才) of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all his money. By investing wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 million dollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually, she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean that when her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctors bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital. Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his mother would not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off the boys leg in her living room. Its incredible, isnt it? 51.

Politicians campaigning for public office, salespeople presenting products, and preachers delivering sermons all depend upon this form of public communication. Even people who do not make speaking a part of their daily work are often asked to make public speeches: students at graduation, for instance. Nearly everyone speaks in public at some time or other, and those who perform the task well often become leaders.Public speaking is not informal conversation between two people nor is it free discussion in a small group or seminar. Speaking becomes public speaking when a person addresses a group of more than one, without interruption, and takes responsibility for the words and ideas being expressed. Public speaking always includes a speaker who has a reason for speaking, an audience that gives that speaker its attention, and a message meant to accomplish a purpose.There are many reasons for speaking in public. A speaker may hope to teach an audience about new ideas, for example, or provide information about some topic. Creating a good feeling or entertaining an audience may be another purpose. Public speakers, however, most often seek to persuade an audience to adopt new opinions, to take certain actions, or to see the world in a new way.Public speakers usually know well in advance when they are scheduled to make an address. Consequently, they are able to prepare their message before they deliver it. Sometimes, though, speakers must deliver the message unprepared, or off the cuff, such as when they are asked to offer a toast at a wedding reception or to participate in an interview. This type of speaking is called spontaneous speaking.When they do not have to speak spontaneously, most speakers write their own speeches. Politicians and business executives sometimes employ professional writers who prepare their speeches for them. These professional writers may work alone or in small teams. Although t
