To some people, Sully seems to be a loser. But he has a lot of charm(魅力). His life changes when his son comes to town. Late in life, Sully learns to grow up. “Ive played a lot of characters and the character I play in Nobodys Fool is closer to me than any other role Ive done,” says Newman. Newman turned 70 years old on January 26, 1998. “Nobodys Fool”is his 52nd film. He has won two Oscars in his career. Newman has foundsuccess in other aspects(方面) of life.

Then the girl in the restaurant pulled out a gun and shot him dead. Why? People asked to give reasonable explanation for the strange happening. All kinds of suggestions were made.She was able to recognize him as a dangerous prisoner who ran away from the prison; she thought he was to rob her; she misheard what he said; asking for a glass of water had a special meaning for her and so on. All these explanations showed that the gun was used on purpose(有目的) to harm the man. The idea was easily accepted.In fact, the explanation was that the man had an attack of hiccups(严重打嗝). It so happened that the girl in the restaurant knew that a great and sudden fear could get rid of hiccups. But she didnt know the gun happened to be loaded(上子弹) that day.60. The man asked for a glass of water because _. A. he was too thirstyB. he was walked into a restaurant C. he wanted to kill himselfD. he was having an attack of hiccups61. The girl used a gun to the man because _. A. she wanted to kill him B. she hated him C. what the man said had a special meaning D. she wanted to give him a sudden and great fear62. Why did the man have an attack of hiccups?A. Because he ate too much.B. Because he was too old.C. Because he ate too fast.D. The passage didnt tell us.CThe word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30, 000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500, 000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for peoples spare time. 63. From the passage we can learn that _. A. people spend too much money on sportsB. the development of sports is slower than any other activityC. most people enjoy sports because they can earn moneyD. nowadays sport is not merely a pastime for people64. Nowadays, the word “sport” means _. A. what people do in their spare timeB. hunting wild animals and birdsC. organized gamesD. something people are paid to do65. People play sports for _. A. fun B. different purposesC. money D. keeping fit66. What surprises people most is that _. A. the stars get more money from advertisingB. the word “sport” meant hunting animalsC. professional sportsmen are paid for what they doD. only a few sportsmen can earn $ 500, 000 a yearDThe kings of ancient Egypt planned strong tombs to keep their bodies safe after death and to hold their treasure. The Great Pyramids along the Nile are on its West Bank. The ancient Egyptians compared the rising sun to the beginning of life and the setting sun to the end of life. This is why their dead bodies were buried on the West Bank of the Nile. The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They did not build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build a pyramid and then a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt, but they are bigger. Each of the pyramids has a wide stairway(楼梯) that goes from the bottom to the top. The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2,000 years old. Scientists think it took 10,000 men more than ten years to build it. On the top they built a temple of the sun. The temple is no longer there, but people still call it the Pyramid of the Sun. Near it is another huge pyramid, the Pyramid of the Moon. 67. In ancient Mexico pyramids were built _. A. in honour of the gods B. for the kings tombs C. to hold the kings treasure D. as places of interest 68. Which pyramid was built at least 2,000 years ago?A. The Great Pyramid. B.

She plans to go back to Ireland in July after classes are finished. 72 She had not studied Chinese for long before arriving here, so she has some difficulty communicating with people. Still, she studies in the same classroom with us and continues studying after class until late at night. She wakes up early every morning to study a bit before class as well. I admire her independence for doing all of this while living so far away from her family. I am not sure whether I could do the same thing if I were in her position. 73 If anyone needs help, she is always ready and willing to help them. For example, even though she is quite busy with her studies, she often takes time to help classmates with English assignments.Although Mary is generally very quiet and calm, she can also be quite enthusiastic about things. 74 She helped set up bins to collect recyclable materials around the school and spent every Sunday morning in the
