A
You’ve no
doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday，when what they really mean is that they want
one．Certainly，people working under pressure feel a very
strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays，and experience a changed environment．
Once people
become used to going on holiday，taking
holidays becomes a habit．For many
people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up，and indeed many workers have chosen to spend
some of their last pay when being on holiday．It may give them a “lift” in facing some difficulties in life．
Most of us
also enjoy showing off the lovely tans—dark skins we get from a holiday．So many tourists are now able to afford
holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common；although we join a tan together with health，it has been fully shown that too much
sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems，as well as drying out one’s skin and leading
to more lines on your face later in life．
56．According to the passage above，more and more people choose to have holidays
because they ________．
A．hate working indoors all the time
B．want to get away from work
C．love enjoying the beauties of nature
D．become rich and want a better life
57．When office people have holidays，they often _______．
A．lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine
B．spend more than they can afford
C．think about their work on the beach
D．choose to do more physical exercise
58．A holiday may _______ when one has to face
some difficulties in life．
A．cheer someone up B．help someone find a job
C．be the last thing to be given up D．bring good luck to someone
59．At the end of the passage the writer tries to
tell the reader ______．
A．the importance of getting sunshine
B．the bad effect of being on holiday
C．the result of getting sun tanned
D．the healthy look of being tanned

BEIJING，Nov．25，2005（Reuters）—China’s home-grown human bird flu
vaccine is at least a year away from hitting the market but tests on humans
have been approved (批准) by the
government，head of the research drug company
said on Friday．
Development
of the vaccine started last year after bird flu outbreaks in Thailand and
Vietnam and animal trials have already been completed，said Yin Wei-dong，managing director of Sinovac Biotech．
“It is not
a virus that is spreading from human to human，so we are very optimistic，” Yin told
Reuters in an interview．
The deadly
H5N1 made its first known jump to humans in Hong Kong in 1997，killing six people．The virus appeared again in late 2003 and is
known to have infected 130 people in several parts of Asia，killing 68 of them．
“It is not
decided yet when the human trials will begin．We just got approval on November 22 by the State Food and Drug
Administration，” Yin said．
Oregon，Nov．26,2005（AP）—The deadly strain of bird flu that appeared in Asia and has already
spread to other parts of the world has not affected the Oregon poultry (家禽) industry or consumers，according to Oregon State University
researchers．
There are
many strains of bird flu that do not usually infect humans．But one strain，called H5N1，has jumped from chickens to humans
and is blamed for more than 60 deaths in Asia．
International
disease control experts are worried about a worldwide outbreak of bird flu，raising concerns such as whether it is safe
to eat poultry．
But Oregon
State University researchers say there is no proof that the virus can jump to
humans by eating cooked poultry products．
“Consumers
needn’t be overly concerned about bird flu，” said Jim Hermes，OSU Extension
Service poultry specialist．But he urged
consumers to follow standard food safety practices in preparing poultry—including washing hands while preparing food，and proper cooking of poultry meat and eggs．
He noted
that a 2003 outbreak of bird virus caused much damage to commercial poultry
operations in California but did not get into Oregon because of industry
safeguards．
60．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the first news
report?
A．Human trials have already started but not yet
successful．
B．Bird flu killed 68 Asian people in its second
outbreak．
C．The bird flu virus is not one that spreads
from human to human．
D．The government has agreed to have the vaccine
tried on humans．
61．What does the first news report mainly talk
about?
A．The new outbreak of the bird flu．
B．How the development of the bird flu vaccine
is going on．
C．How many people died of bird flu．
D．What measures the government has taken to
stop the spreading of bird flu．
62．What does the underlined word “strains”
probably mean?
A．signs． B．symbols． C．kinds． D．diseases．
63．What can we know from the second news report?
A．Because of the safety guards，Oregon poultry industry didn’t suffer any
loss in
the 2003 outbreak of bird flu．
B．People in Oregon are not concerned about bird
flu．
C．People will develop bird flu even if they eat
well-cooked poultry products．
D．H5N1 has caused more than 60 deaths worldwide．
Everyone
would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over S 30 million
and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood，a small town in Louisiana，is an international pop superstar with not
only S 30 million but also a S 2 million house in LA．At her young age，she can look after her family financially 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．It’s a tiring
schedule but brings great rewards．When touring，she goes to bed at around 1 a．m．and then has a lie-in until 1 p．m．or 2 p．m．the next day．Her philosophy
(人生哲学) is to take care of the body and
be relaxed 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” in 2002 and she filmed a teenage comedy that
was released in 2003．In this movie，she had a starring role．The movie was her own concept and she picked
the writer．
In spite of
the fact that she has not enjoyed the same popularity as a pop singer so far，she insists on trying more roles．For Britney，acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic 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 for money．
64．Tickets for Britney’s concert are ________．
A．booked in groups B．too expensive
C．not available D．all sold
65．The underlined word “you” in the second
paragraph refers to _______．
A．a person in general B．a particular person
C．Britney herself only D．the reader
66．Which of the following is NOT true according
to the passage?
A．Though young，Britney is a superstar both on the stage and screen
B．While touring，Britney is so
tired that she has to sleep more than usual．
C．The teenage comedy was based on Britney’s own
ideas．
D．Britney will be even more wealthy with her
movies successful．
67．According to Britney Spears，she works _______．
A．to be a great actress B．for the enjoyment
C．to be more famous D．for the love of singing
D
Living and
dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher．
If I have
learned anything in my 16 years，it is that
communication is very important，both when you
disagree and when you get along．With any
relationship，you need to let the other person
know how you are feeling．If you are not
able to communicate，your relationship
drifts apart．When you are mad at your parents
or anyone else，not talking to them doesn’t solve
anything．
Communication
begins with the concerns of another．It means that you can’t just come home from school，go up to your room and talk to nobody．Even if you just say “Hi” and see how their
day is for five minutes，it is better
than nothing．
If you look
up the word “communication” in the dictionary，it will say “the exchange of ideas，conveyance (传递) of
information，correspondence (通信)，means of communication；a letter or
message”．To keep a good relationship，you must keep the communication strong．Let people know how you feel，even if it’s just by writing a note．
When
dealing with parents，you always
have to make them feel good about how they are doing as parents．If you are trying to make them see something
as you see it，tell them that you listen to what
they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to
you．Shouting or walking away only
makes the situation worse．
Here is an
example．One night，Sophie went to a street party with her
friends．She knew she had to be home by
midnight after the fireworks．but they
didn’t feel she could just ask to go home．That would be rude．After all，they had been nice enough to take her along
with them．Needless to say，she was late getting home．Her parents were mad at first，but when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren’t as mad and let the incident go．Communication was the key factor here．If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to
listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of
trouble．
Communication
isn’t a one-way deal．It goes both
ways．Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie’s，telling the other person how you feel and
listening are key factors to communication．
68．The second paragraph mainly talks about
________．
A．the importance of friendship
B．making your feelings known to others
C．the importance of communication
D．the disagreement between generations
69．The key to happy relationship between parents
and children is that _______．
A．children should always obey their parents
B．parents play the leading part
C．parents should mind their own business
D．both should make the other know their
feelings
70．The example in the passage proves that
________．
A．Sophie’s parents were willing to listen to
her
B．Sophie was very polite to her parents
C．Sophie did the right thing when she explained
the reason of her being late
D．communication is the key to solving
misunderstanding
71．All of the following statements are true
EXCEPT ________．
A．if you don’t agree with others，you’d better let them know
B．it is better to say “Hi” to others than to
say nothing
C．if you are too busy to communicate，just walk away
D．communication is a two-way deal

Your mobile
phone rings and instead of the usual electronic signals it’s playing your
favourite music．A friend sends your favourite song
to cheer you up．One day，a record company might forward new records
and music videos to your phone．
The mobile
business is getting into the music business．For the moment，the interest
is in pleasant ring tones，but some
companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile
phones—all purpose gadgets that blend
phone，personal stereo，video player and Internet browser into one．
Finally，record companies might send new records and
videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers．
The fans
could pass music or songs along to friends—a kind of musical trading card．Unlike Internet tracks，mobile
downloads would be easy for record companies to control，said former record industry official Ralph，Simon，who is now chairman of Yourmobile，based in Santa Monic，California．
“If you
pass a song along to other phones through a network，each phone can be charged，” said Simon．“It’s like going through toll gate (收费站)．There’s more possibility for copyright
control than there is on the Internet．”
Massachusetts-based
Converse is offering service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people
record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends．Finally，people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along．The company is sure that people will want to
use music to reach out and touch someone．
“A mobile
phone is not a listening machine，and you’ll be
disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio，” said Ouzel，a creative manager for Converse in Israel．“But if someone sends you a song while you’re on vacation，you appreciate the feeling．”
72．The underlined word “blend” in the second
paragraph most probably means _____．
A．send B．come C．mix D．compare
73．“Massachusetts-based Converse”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to
______．
A．a person B．a city in Israel
C．a state of the USA C．a company
74．Record companies ______ the idea of passing
songs and music along mobile
phones．
A．are worried about B．are interested in
C．try hard to stop D．take no notice of
75．According to Ralph Simon it would be easier
to _______ through mobile phone network than through the Internet．
A．protect copyright of music works B．send personal messages
C．pass along songs and music D．send voice mail

M：Oh，did I ? Well… I suppose I just forgot to say that my alarm clock hadn’t
gone off，either．
W：It’s a very complicated story，if you could forgive me saying so．Tell me again now why you want tomorrow off．

W：What time is it，William?
M：Uh，it’s 7:30．Aren’t you going to finish your
breakfast?
W：I don’t have much time．I’ve got a lot to do downtown today．
M：If you’re coming into the city，we may as well have lunch together．
W：OK．Let’s say one o’clock．I’ll go to the
gym．I have an aerobics class until
12:15．Oh，and it will have to be someplace quick．
M：How come?
W：I have a hair appointment at 2:15．
M：Oh，OK，Enjoy your day．I’ll see you later．
W：You’d better get going，too．You’re not even dressed yet．
M：Don’t worry about me．I’ll get to work on time．

W：We’ve been hearing a lot over here in the
United States about the actor，Vinnie Jones．Over in Britain he’s really well known，isn’t he?
M：Well，yeah，he’s much better known in Britain
than he is here，in America．
W：So，what’s the big deal? What’s so special about Vinnie Jones?
M：Well，before he became an actor，he was already
well known as a soccer player．In fact，I’d say he’s still more famous for his soccer
skills than his acting．
W：Which team did he play for ? Manchester
United?
M：No，no，actually for much of his
profession，he played for Wimbledon．
W：Wimbledon?
M：Yes，they’re not as successful as Manchester United．But while he was playing for them，they beat Liverpool and won the Cup．

M：Jennifer，I hear you like films．Do you have a
favourite director?
W：Well，there are so many，but I think I
still like Spielberg most．I’ve seen most
of his films，like Jaws，Jurassic Park，ET and last week I saw AI．
M：What’s that film about?
W：AI is about a time in the future when people
make robots that love people．The film is
about a little boy，who is really
a machine．The people throw him away．The biggest dream of the boy is to become a
real human person，so that the family will love him．The film shows that true love is forever．
M：What did you think of his film?
W：I like the film a lot because the story is
simple but touching．

M：What do you think of today’s TV programs?
W：Well，they are terrible．Most of the
programs are a complete waste of time．How do you feel about them?
M：Well，in general，I agree with you．But what troubles me most is that they are
too violent．There are too many police shows
and there are not enough educational programs．
W：I think so，too．In my opinion，the news shows are extremely silly；they don’t tell anything．
M：Oh，I don’t think so．I think the
news reports are excellent．Reporting the
news is what TV does best．
W：Maybe，but I don’t like them．

Putting on
a play can be fun．Acting can be like the dress-up
games that children play．For a while，to pretend to be someone else can be a very
exciting experience．
Professional
actors take part in plays and television programs given in New York and other
large cities．They earn their living by acting．But other people act in plays just for fun and
are not paid for their work．They are high
school or college students and adults who belong to “little theatre” groups．In the daytime，they are students，teachers，doctors，lawyers and policemen．They are
actors only in the evenings or weekends．
One of the
America’s oldest little theatre groups is in Indianapolis，Indiana．They are called the Players Club，and they put on 8 plays a year．People in the city buy tickets to see the plays．Anyone who wants to act may join the Players
Club．
There are
little theatre groups in many cities．They continue to put on plays because they bring pleasure to a large
number of people．People in a little theatre group
enjoy having the chance to act，while the
audience enjoy watching the plays，too．
