Britney Spears from Kentwood , a small town in Louisiana , is only 20 years old ; she is an international pop superstar with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA . At her young age , she can look after her family financially （经济上）all her life .This year is a big year for Britney , she is currently on a 31 date tour of the US and every concert is a sell out . That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time . Its tiring schedule （安排表）but brings great rewards . When touring , she goes to bed around lam and then has a lie-in until lpm or 2pm the next day . Her philosophy（人生观）is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun .Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting .She made an appearance in “ Austin Powers 3” this year and she is filming a teenage comedy that will be released in March 2003 . In this movie , she has a starring role . The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer .For Britney , acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic（热心）about it all . If her movies are successful , her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love , not the money .56We can infer from the text that most millionaires are .Aolder than 20Baround 20Cin their 30sDin their 40s57Tickets for her concerts are .Acheap Bexpensive Con sale soon Dall sold 58The underlined word “you” in the second paragraph refers to .Aa person in generalBa particular person CBritney Spear herself only Dthe reader 59Which of the following is not true according to the text ?AThough young , Britney can support her family now .BWhile touring , Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day .CThe teenage comedy movie was based on Britneys own story .DBritney will be even richer with her movies successful .60According to Britney Spear , she works .Ato be a great actress Bfor the enjoyment Cfor money Dto be more famous BIn the world today , there are millions of surveillance cameras , or spy cams, watching and monitoring our daily activities . There are some benefits of course , as people who are breaking laws can be watched and caught using cameras and this helps keep out society and public places safe . These cameras are everywhere and most are openly visible on roads , in airports , businesses , shopping centers and government buildings and even in lifts . Even schools have started using spy cams to watch student activity and behaviour .The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them . But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen . Technology has helped develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidden and they can spy on shoppers , workers , babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing . It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy . Recently , in the U.S ., there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by their employers on hidden cameras .The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime rates and the recent terrorist attacks , more and more surveillance cameras are being used to watch us . This means that we all have to be aware that our employers , department stores , police and even some of our friends could be spying on us at any time !61In the writers opinion , surveillance cameras .Ado more good than wrong Bare overused Cshould be very popular Dought to be more widely used 62In what way can the surveillance camera benefit the public ?ABy helping keep social safety .BBy monitoring the employees .CBy watching the students in class .DBy spying on customers .63According to paragraphs 3 and 4 , people the use of hidden cameras .Aobject to Bagree to Cfeel happy about Dare fearful of 64Spy cams will be more widely used in the future because .Aall people want to spy Bof the invasion of privacy Cpeople enjoy being watched Dof terrorist attacks COVER 22 million dead animals that have never been seen by the public before were on display last week in London , Britain . The selection is one of the biggest and the best in the world and the Natural History Museum hopes that it will help people understand nature better .People were able to examine the animals , which range from tiny insects that lived millions of years ago to the bones of dinosaurs （恐龙）and butterflies （蝴蝶）in amazing detail .The scientific specimens （标本）are all either stored in alcohol（酒精）or made in a fossil （化石）form and have been given to the new Darwin Centre by scientists and researchers over the last hundred years .The center , named after the world famous scientist Charles Darwin , will be open free to the public . It is part of the much larger Natural History Museum , which attracts over 2 million visitors a year .The new museum has actual specimens caught by Darwin , including a parrotfish and pipefish he caught while on his journey around the world . There are also lots of other specimens caught by famous explorers that lived over 150 years ago , which include a tusk （长牙）from an African elephant given by famous British scientist David Livingstone .People can view specimens close up , watch videos of scientists at work , look at information on computers , and look up through the seven-storey storage hall to sense the huge scale of whats inside . They are also able to take guided tours and join live events with scientists .Another section of the museum is being planned . When it opens in 2007 , there will be an extra 28 million insects on display and 6 million plants .65By visiting the museum , one can .Aenrich his knowledge of the universe Bhave a better understanding of the world Cget to know the animal world better Dsee all kinds of dead animals 66The dead animals on display .Awere mainly caught by Charles Darwin Bare specimens presented by scientists and researchers Chave mostly been unseen by the public before Dare the best selection in the world so far 67If you go to visit Darwin Centre , you .Awill have to buy a ticket Bwill be allowed to touch the exhibits Cwont be charged Dwill check information on a computer first 68What would be the best title for the text ?ANatural History Museum BA New Darwin Centre CHistory of the animal DTime You Can Touch DDuring the last ten years , several important new technologies have affected advertising considerably . One was the penetration（渗透）of cable television and satellite receivers into a vast number of American homes . Many cable channels are devoted to single types of programming , such as straight news , home shopping , sports , or comedy . This has changed television from the most widespread of mass media to a somewhat more specialized medium . Now smaller companies and companies with products that interest a limited market can use television to reach audiences with particular interests .Another change in the TV world has been the growing presence of videocassette recorders . For many customers , watching movies on video at home has replaced going to the movie theater . Advertisers have watched this trend with interest . Some videos now begin with an ad , shot in a suitable cinematic cycle , that sells a product valued by that particular movies audience .Computer technology has had its own effect , Personal computers , modems , electronic mails , electronic bulletin boards , even fax machines give advertisers new media for reaching potential（潜在旳）customers . But these choices are largely replacements for print media , and their advertising trends to be more information-oriented than image-oriented . The increased number of computer users has benefited advertisers in another way as well . Now even the smallest companies can maintain a database（数据库）for direct mail . This , too , is an excellent medium for reaching people with particular interests .Today advertising is a powerful means that announces the availability （实用性）and location of products , expresses the quality and value of those products , and even fills brands with personality while at the same time defining the personality of the people who buy them . In turn , advertising itself is shaped by the technology used to convey its message to potential customers .69 make it possible for small companies to send advertisements to audiences specially interested in their products .ASingle types of TV programming BMass media CParticular interests DNew technologies of TV sets 70As more and more people have begun to use computers , advertisements can be directly sent to particular costumers .Aby electronic bulletin board Bby post Cby e-mail Dby fax machines 71The best title of this passage might be “ ”.AThe Informaiton Age of Advertising .BMass Media and Advertising CTechnologies of Advertising DAdvertising and Customers E Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning （克隆）has now become a reality . The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue and raises ethical （伦理旳）questions . In my opinion , cloning is useful for research into cures for disease .However ,I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments .Research into cloning and stem cell（干细胞）production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses . While this would improve the quality of life for many ,not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future . This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world . Furthermore , it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications resulting from malformed（畸形旳）organs .There are also quite serious ethical issues in danger . In essence , those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere with natural processes . Producing embryos （晶胚）for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced . It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life .I conclusion I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue . This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life , but also because not enough is known about the effects . However , I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk , then governments should continue to support it .72What is the writers general opinion on cloning ?AIt is useful in every area of research BIt needs to be carefully controlled by governments .CIt is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled .DIt is only useful for research into cures for disease .73The writers main reason against cloning is that .Anot enough is known about the effects of cloning Ba cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs Ccloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones Dit would affect the quality of life for many 74The main argument in Paragraph 3 is that .Ascientists do not value human life Bthe process of cloning needs to be questioned Ccloning devalues human life Dscientists should not interfere with natural processes 75In Paragraph 4 , the writer thinks governments should .Anot put human life at risk Bsupport all forms of research into stem cell production Cnot support any form of research into stem cell production Dsupport research into stem cell production harmless to human life 5660ADACB6165BAADC 6670BCDAC 7175 ACADD 一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一
