A
Mrs. Young was eighty. Her husband died when she was fifty-three and he left her an old car he had had for six years. She learned to drive and loved very much. She liked driving very fast, and was proud of the fact that she had never been caught for a driving offence(违章).
Then one day she nearly lost her record(纪录). A police car followed her, and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping and she was taken before a judge. The man looked at her and said that she was too old to drive a car, and the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it.
When the judge had finished what he was saying, Young opened her handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle(针) with a very small eye(针眼), and threaded it at her first try.
When she has finished it, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now it’s your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that your eyesight is good.”
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After trying six times, he had still not done it. At last he had to set the old woman free and her record remained unbroken.

Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film.
The man who knows the answer is the “special-effects” man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood or to make a battlefield explode. And he may also be asked to create a special effect which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film.
In a scene for one movie there was a big glass box filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish can’t be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem.
The special-effects man thought about this problem for a long time. Then occurred an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First he used electricity to the fish bowl, causing the fish to be completely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity, allowing the fish to swim away. Thus he got the humorous effect that the director wanted.
All this requires training, skill, and experience. It also adds a great deal to the expense of producing the film. It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make.
60. In movie making, a special-effects man______.
A. does the most important job
B. always creates exciting effects
C. finds ways to create something untrue
D. cheats the audience in a special way
61. The example in the passage tells us that______.
A. the movie is on how fish live in a big glass box
B. something happened between the fish and an actor
C. a special-effects man makes the fish move actively
D. it takes a special-effects man a long time to work out a scene
62. In order to make the scene real, a simple action in a movie is probably______.
A. of great expense
B. the success of the film
C. formed by chance
D. hard to work out
C
About the year 1900, a small, dark-haired hot boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and so he wandered(流浪) about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest, best-known, and best-loved comedian(喜剧演员) in the world. Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin’s filmstrips. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films though most of them are silent. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend upon words and languages. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It’s a kind of world language.

I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons when I was little, in which Bugs Bunny would dig under the ground to China. Asia seemed as unreal to me as Mars.
Not many young people get to visit the other side of the world, but last summer I was fortunate to have the chance. With my teammates, I arrived in Beijing.
The most unforgettable experience in China was visiting the Great Wall. Its length and impressive(给人深刻印象的) construction made a lasting impression on my mind. Walking less than a mile on the wall was enough to leave me completely exhausted(累). Most of the steps are very steep(陡的). I used up three camera films in the four hours we walked on it.
Everywhere I looked in Beijing, I saw people on bicycles. I saw thousands of cars too, but for every car there were at least two bikes.
One night, six of us decided to borrow bikes from the hotel and ride around Beijing after dark. Since there were only three bikes we had to double up. So not only did we receive stares for being Americans, but also for falling off the bikes every 20 seconds!
Shopping was another very interesting part of the trip. At the Great Wall and the Silk Market, you can get the lowest prices because you can bargain.
“Duo shao qian?”
“Only 150 yuan. Good quality, 100 percent real cotton!”
“Bu yao, I don’t want it, xie xie.”
“Come back! Forty yuan, 40, I give you 40! Real cotton!”
All you have to do is walk away and the traders will lower the price, sometimes to a quarter of the figure they had asked for at first.
I have too many memories, experiences and observations to share. I could talk for days about the differences between China and the US. I feel so lucky to have seen such a culture so different from my own. I will remember my trip to China forever.
68. What made the American worn out on the Great Wall?
A. Walking for quite a long distance.
B. Using up four camera films.
C. The length of the Great Wall.
D. A four-hour tiring climb.
69. What attracted a lot of people’s attention was that______.
A. the Americans were not skilled in riding bicycles
B. the Americans were going around Beijing after dark
C. the Americans borrowed bicycles from the hotel
D. the Americans did not have enough bikes
70. From the passage it can be inferred that the writer______.
A. liked the Chinese culture
B. would come to China again
C. bought something cheap in Beijing
D. wanted to make his experiences in China known
71. What would be the best title for the text?
A. An Impressive Visit to the Great Wall
B. Shopping in the Silk Market
C. Bicycle Rides Around Beijing
D. An Unforgettable Trip to China

Star talks of better half
The British film star Hugh Grant can’t seem to work out what women want.
“There’s no girl who only wants bastards(坏种), and no girl who wants a nice guy(伙计); Women want both,” the British Star tells the May issue of Talk magazine.
“And, really, they’d like to alternate(交替) on a weekly basis. Can any man be both? I like to keep women guessing. ”
Since Grant’s breakup last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley, the thought of plunging into(投身于) another big relationship doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards.
“How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with? Not easy. And I don’t know that I will,” he says.
Still, the 40-year-old star admits he can’t help thinking that his clock is ticking.
“In the end, I want to have kids. But in the back of my mind, I never wanted to have kids until I’d done something I’m proud of—written a book, had my name on something really worthwhile,” he says.
“I’m so determined not to be in front of the cameras anymore.”
With all of these concerns(心思) inside, has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist to sort things out?
“I don’t think I need therapy(治疗), thank you,” sniffs the star.
“I’m frightened of those people. And more than that, I don’t want to know what lies beneath.”
72. Judging from what Hugh Grant says,the film star may consider himself______.
A. either a bastard or a nice guy
B. both a bastard and a nice guy at the same time
C. a bastard in one week and a nice guy in the other
D. neither a bastard nor a nice guy
73. Hugh Grant______.
A. is looking for another girlfriend at the present time
B. never feels sure of finding a girlfriend who can take the place of Elizabeth Hurley
C. considers it a shame to look for another girlfriend
D. doesn’t value much the relationship he had with Elizabeth Hurley
74. The underlined clause “his clock is ticking” possibly means______.
A. he’s having a good time
B. he can’t stand being single
C. his life is going to end soon
D. he is getting old
75. Hugh Grant thinks that he is not yet successful enough to be______.
A. a father B. a film star
C. a husband D. a nice guy

I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons when I was little, in which Bugs Bunny would dig under the ground to China. Asia seemed as unreal to me as Mars.
Not many young people get to visit the other side of the world, but last summer I was fortunate to have the chance. With my teammates, I arrived in Beijing.
The most unforgettable experience in China was visiting the Great Wall. Its length and impressive(给人深刻印象的) construction made a lasting impression on my mind. Walking less than a mile on the wall was enough to leave me completely exhausted(累). Most of the steps are very steep(陡的). I used up three camera films in the four hours we walked on it.
Everywhere I looked in Beijing, I saw people on bicycles. I saw thousands of cars too, but for every car there were at least two bikes.
One night, six of us decided to borrow bikes from the hotel and ride around Beijing after dark. Since there were only three bikes we had to double up. So not only did we receive stares for being Americans, but also for falling off the bikes every 20 seconds!
Shopping was another very interesting part of the trip. At the Great Wall and the Silk Market, you can get the lowest prices because you can bargain.
“Duo shao qian?”
“Only 150 yuan. Good quality, 100 percent real cotton!”
“Bu yao, I don’t want it, xie xie.”
“Come back! Forty yuan, 40, I give you 40! Real cotton!”
All you have to do is walk away and the traders will lower the price, sometimes to a quarter of the figure they had asked for at first.
I have too many memories, experiences and observations to share. I could talk for days about the differences between China and the US. I feel so lucky to have seen such a culture so different from my own. I will remember my trip to China forever.

Star talks of better half
The British film star Hugh Grant can’t seem to work out what women want.
“There’s no girl who only wants bastards(坏种), and no girl who wants a nice guy(伙计); Women want both,” the British Star tells the May issue of Talk magazine.
“And, really, they’d like to alternate(交替) on a weekly basis. Can any man be both? I like to keep women guessing. ”
Since Grant’s breakup last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley, the thought of plunging into(投身于) another big relationship doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards.
“How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with? Not easy. And I don’t know that I will,” he says.
Still, the 40-year-old star admits he can’t help thinking that his clock is ticking.
“In the end, I want to have kids. But in the back of my mind, I never wanted to have kids until I’d done something I’m proud of—written a book, had my name on something really worthwhile,” he says.
“I’m so determined not to be in front of the cameras anymore.”
With all of these concerns(心思) inside, has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist to sort things out?
“I don’t think I need therapy(治疗), thank you,” sniffs the star.
“I’m frightened of those people. And more than that, I don’t want to know what lies beneath.”

A. either a bastard or a nice guy
