She remembers, “One day, my grandmother was boiling clothes because at that time we didnt have a washing machine. I was four years old, and I remember thinking, my life wont be like this. It will be better.” It is better much better. Winfrey is a billionaire, and “the Oprah Winfrey Show,” which is watched by over 20 million people every day, has won many awards（奖项）.As a little girl, Winfrey was always different. She learned to read when she was three. She read the Bible in church and was famous for being the little girl who talked a lot. Since then, talking has been the most important part of her life.She got her first big chance while at Tennessee State University. At age 17, she was offered a job at a radio station. Next, she hosted a talk show, “People Are Talking,” which soon became very popular. People felt comfortable telling her about their lives, and people liked her warm interviewing style. After a year, the show was renamed “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and she was a star.Winfreys real dream, though, was to be an actor.Finally, she achieved this when she starred in “The Colour Purple” in 1985. Her performance won her an Oscar nomination（提名）. She now has her own production company, Harpo Productions(“Harpo” is “Oprah” spelled backward). Winfrey says her greatest lesson in her life is “not living my life to please other people, but doing what my heart says.”56. Why was Oprah Winfrey famous when she was only three year old?A. She talked a lot. B. She had her own dreams.C. She was able to read the Bible in church.D. She lived with her grandmother on a farm.57. Why was Winfreys talk show very popular?A. Because she was a beauty.B. Because she was a billionaire.C. Because her family was very rich.D. Because her hosting was warm.58. What was Winfreys real dream?A. To be a film star.B. To be a hostess for a talk show.C. To be a worker at a radio station.D. To be a producer of her own company.59. Which word below can we use to describe Winfreys quality?A. Selfish. B. Stubborn. C. Lazy. D. Determined.BBased on global history of the last 40 to 50 years of natural disasters and human disasters such as storms, earthquakes, floods, diseases and serious bombings, we forecast that:1. The numbers and rate and serious damage of global natural disasters will increase at 3 to 5 times the present levels in the next 10 to 20 years.2. The numbers and rate and serious damage of global natural disasters will increase at 30 or 50 times after 20 years, if we human beings cannot change our recent way of economic development and do not stop destroying the natural environment within 10 years.So humans survival and development will be affected by serious disasters in the future. Hurricane Katrina brought huge damage to the American People. America, having the richest and strongest economy, cannot prevent such storms; how can other nations face such natural disasters?If we recall those disasters which so often happened in recent years, we should wake up: our earth cannot continue to be destroyed by human beings. More and more serious disasters every year have told us: Nature can retaliate (报复) against humans by destroying the earths environment.Although many people have asked governments to protect the natural environment for many years, few governments have taken any active steps and measures to protect it. When considering its own benefits against environmental protection, present benefits against future benefits, most governments select their own benefits and present advantages over the need to protect the environment. Every day human beings are speeding up the destruction of the earth. If we cannot or will not change the way of economic development thoroughly, we cannot reduce the destruction of the natural environment, and then natural disasters will increase.60. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Surrounding PollutionsB. Natural Disasters and Economic DevelopmentC. Natural Environment D. Economy Development61. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The problems of nature will become more and more serious.B. The problems of nature will be solved immediately.C. The rate and serious damage of natural disasters are reducing.D. We cannot prevent the increase of natural disasters.62. According to the underlined sentence, which of the following is NOT true?A. America is NO. 1 in economy among the countries all over the world.B. Even America has suffered from natural disasters.C. No countries can avoid damages by natural disasters.D. We can do nothing to reduce natural disasters.63. What should we do to stop destroying the natural environment?A. Help the people who suffered from natural disasters.B. Change the way of economic development.C. Appeal to governments to protect natural environment.D. Make economic development increase slowly.CAmerican and British people use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi!” In Britain it is “Hello!” or “How are you?” “Hi!” is creeping (不知不觉的进入) into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Good bye,” they nearly always add, “Have a good day.” or “Have a good trip.” ect. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day.”The British usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.AmE: Do you have a car, room, etc.? Yes, I do.BrE: Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have.There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g. check(US)/ cheque (UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our”, e.g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in BrE with “ise” or “ising”, e.g organize, realizing. In American English, “practice” is used both for the verb and the noun. In BrE, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice”. In American English, one writes “traveler”, while in British English, one writes “traveller”.It was once predicted that British and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(联系) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上的), and probably culturally(文化上的) too, they are closer together than ever.64. The Americans hardly say “ ”.A. Good bye. Have a good day! B. Glad to know you!C. Hi! D. Have you got a car?65. What does the fifth paragraph talk about?A. There are no difference in spelling between AmE and BrE.B. Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings?C. There are a few differences in spelling between AmE and BrE.D. The different usages of words in AmE and BrE.66. The underlined word “predicted” means in Chinese.A. explain B. forecast C. consider D. proveDWhen you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht(铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is going on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the milometer(计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.67. To a foreigner, the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a .A. car B. taxi C. bike D. motorbike68. What is the writers advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A. To take a taxi driving on the road. B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.C. To make sure there is a milometer in it.D. To bargain with the driver over the price.69. It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because .A. there were too many traffic jams on the roadsB. there were no signs showing directions C. the signs were written only in their own languageD. the quality of the roads was not good70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Renting a car to get around Thailand is very expensive.B. Tourists can only rent a motorbike in the beaches and islands.C. The price of petrol in Thailand is lower than that in Europe.D. Cars in Thailand are cheaper than those in the West.第二节: 信息匹配. 根据短文内容，从短文后的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选项。 71 It is known as a big city with a convenient small city size.
