The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sport car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio stations competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered a special “experiment” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England, Greg, and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on a radio. They took a lie detector（测谎仪） test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges include an astrologer（占星家） who declared that they were suited.The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaines mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordells parents are reported to be less than delightedOrganizations, including the marriage guidance Service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person put it, “We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love.”The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists. Their other prizes include a years free use of a wonderful apartment in the center of Birmingham, and a car.

Man is what he eats, said Ludwig Feuerbach. From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food. The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots, hanging hams, catching fish using a net, opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns, and pulling wheat dough into thin strands for noodles move us to tears. What a lovely China! a viewer said.A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the perspective of food. The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious toil. Some people see patriotism (爱国主义) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.How did this documentary achieve a tremendous influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time?It is not empty propaganda (宣传) about Chinas splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord with the audience, an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality. It is said sarcastically (讽刺地) that Americans like to shoot sci-fi films because they have no history, while Chinese like to shoot time-travel dramas to the past because they have no future. The correctness of this arbitrary conclusion is debatable, but it has raised a thought-provoking (发人深省的) question. Works that are created behind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary peoples desire for enough food and clothing will not touch peoples hearts.We made this documentary with our respect and love for food, said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the secret for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success.29. A Bite of China has all the following emotional influences EXCEPT _.A. reminding people of their memories about familyB. making people treasure every gainC. arousing peoples patriotism towards their countryD. calling on people to export their culture30. Which of the following statements about A Bite of China is TRUE according to the passage?A. It only focuses on the luxury lives of a few people in China.B. It stresses the emotions of ordinary Chinese people in its shooting C. It has been considered a “week player” on TV since it was produced D. It provides a unique view of Chinese from the perspective of humanity31. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Sincerity and reality, Great Success B. Food and Culture, Commercial Program C. Techniques and Art, Huge Popularity D. Patriotism and Respect, Great Influence DA caring mother is the single most important factor in preventing teenagers from abusing (滥用) drugs and alcohol, researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems, and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them. “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use.” said Dr. McArdle, of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study. “They also suggest that attachment (感情眷念)，particularly to mothers, is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.” The report, which is published in the journal Addiction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England, Ireland, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol. The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were supervised (监护) after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home. “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement. But he added a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits. The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent. If either factor was missing ,the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent. More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents responsibility. 32. The phrase “maternal bond” in the first paragraph refers to_ A. the education of mothers B. the supervision of mothers on children C. whether the mother uses drugsD. the guidance of schools on mothers 33. According to McArdle, which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem? A. 16-year-old Tom from a happy big family B. 17-year-old Kate supervised by her single mother C. 18-year-old Juliet living with her single father D. 19-year-old Mark cared by his parents. 34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Teenagers with both parents wont have the drug use problem. B. Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire. C. Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parents D. Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse. 35. The last paragraph suggests that_. A. schools should answer for the drug problem B. television and media are to blame C. parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem D. mothers are the cause of youth drug use 第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。 Kids with special needs refer to any kid who might need extra help because of a medical, emotional(情感的), or learning problem.

Thomas Macaulay Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette ONeill gave an arithmetic 41 to our class. When the papers were marked she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 42 mistakes throughout the test. There is nothing really new about 43 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. ONeill 44 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 45 after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. ONeill asked 46 questions, and she didnt 47 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 48 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 49 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times. I dont 50 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 51 I can say :it was the most important single 52 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulays words, they 53 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 54 to measure ourselves rather than others. 55 of us are asked to make 56 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called upon daily to make a great many personal decisions. 57 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket
