He was standing in a dim low-ceilinged cave, the walls carved out of solid ice.There were five children there, huddling(拥抱) together in a corner, their eyes fixed hopefully on his. They were dressed exactly as he was, in pale sheepskin jackets and trousers, with matching boots, and caps pulled down over their ears. All of them were in their mid teens; and their faces, pinched(皱缩) as much by fear as with cold, seemed strangely familiar, as though he had known them all his life. A girl with intense dark eyes nodded towards the end of the room. When he failed to respond, she nodded again, more urgently than before, her lips forming words soundlessly.He saw then what he should have seen earlier; a second door set low in the end wall. It was much smaller and far less noticeable than the first, yet he felt drawn to it just the same. Or was he merely being encouraged by his silent companions? Another of them, a timid boy, gave him a smile of encouragement, which was instantly reflected in all the other faces. He found it difficult to resist, as if this, after all, was why he was here: to help them out in their mysterious adventure. And under the pressure of their combined request, he bent down and crawled through the low opening. This time he emerged onto a windswept ledge(岩壁). Above him, dark grey clouds racked across an even grey sky. Belowfar belowlay a deserted valley heaped with slabs(厚片) of ice.51When Bob entered the cave, he knew that he _.A. was welcome B. was unwelcomeC. had frightened the children inside.

D. the children wanted him to do so.(B)A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perscus has studied more than 3000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, . He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.One blog that is still going strong is called Rebeccas Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms. Blood says Rebeccas Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything-politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.55. The text is mainly written to _.A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”B. introduce a short way of saying Web log.C. tell readers about blogs.D. tell readers how to write blogs.56.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A. Politicians dont use blogs at all.B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs.C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls.D. Dave Winer closed his “” because of money shortage.58.

Discovery Trips in the Blue Mountains(D)Ang Lee, the director of “Brokeback Mountain”, won the Best Director Award at the 78th Academy Awards. Lee is the first Chinese to receive the honour, considered the highest in American cinema and the most influential worldwide.“Im deeply proud of him”, gushed Kate Wang, granddaughter of Wang Dulu, whose martial arts novel inspired Lees “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in 2000.“Ang Lees movie is very touching. Its simple but perfect,” commented Zhang Yuan, a Chinese film director of the “Sixth Generation.” “I sincerely congratulate him. He is the pride of all Chinese directors everywhere.”Despite the Best Director Award, the film “Brokeback Mountain” lost to “Crash” in the Best Picture. It was widely seen as an upset because “Brokeback” had been winning all kinds of prizes, from the Golden Bear in Venice, to the Golden Globe and the Independent Spirit Awards, and was seen by most observers as shoo-in for the highest OscarAn anonymous(匿名的)posting on S summed up what many moviegoers expressed in one way or another, “Now that Ang Lee has got all the big international awards, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige need not compete for the title of No. 1 Chinese Director anymore.”Other voices were less congratulatory. Dayyan Eng, a Chinese American who started his filmmaking career in Beijing, did not think “Brokeback” is as good as “The Ice Storm”, an Ang Lee film from 1997.Liu Miaomiao, a director of independent films, rationalized that Hollywood would not give the top award to “Brokeback” because of political reasons.Sai Ren, a film critic with CCTV6, a film channel, noted that Lees achievement had little to do with Chinese cinema. He suggested that people watch the show just to enjoy it.63.

Observers laid great hope on “Brokeback Mountain” for the Best Picture.D. It was a great upset that “Brokeback Mountain” had won all kinds of prizes66. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. The Best Director Award Goes to Chinese. B. The
