It   53   him right on the point of the chin(下巴); his   54   slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car,   55   open the door and looked inside.

SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “ anything else that came up. ”

Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly(蝶泳)in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay. 

Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(顶级赛事)to swim the one event, having set a qualifying time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics. 

Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago. 

“ I was at a national youth game on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train, ” Schipper explained. “ It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t know why. We just started talking and it went from there. ”

“ She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting. ”

Next time, things will be more serious. “ I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould, ” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly. 

56. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Stories happening in swimming competitions. 

B. Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds. 

C. Lessons learned from international swimming championships. 

D. Friendship and competition between two swimmers. 

57. Gould and Schipper are going to      _____.

A. talk about sport and life             B. go back to elite competition

A. 15         B. 17        C. 22       D. 30

59. The underlined word “ it ” in the fifth paragraph probably refers to      ____.

A. the Olympics         B. the youth camp       

C. the friendship         D. the Australian team


B

London, Reuters--What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and go home?

No, it"s not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.

It"s high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.

The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body"s natural ability to detect some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.

A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at trouble spots.

Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said,' It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away.'

60. The device can be used to ____________.

A. threaten teenagers in public              

B. drive away trouble-makers under 20

C. help mothers control their teenage children     

D. help the police control shopkeepers

61. From the passage we can know that ___________.

A. young people often suffer from pains in ears

B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects

C. high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people" over 20

D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers

62. The purpose of the writer to write the passage is ________.

A. to advertise a new hi-tech device  

B. to tell the reader a piece of news         C. to sell the device to shopkeepers  

D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police

63. Who will welcome the device most?

A. Shopkeepers.    B. The police.     C. Young people.   D. The producer.


C

New friends. Fresh lifestyle. Better career opportunities...Those are attractions of overseas study for young people in China. 'Start early, finish strong, some of them say.

More than 300 universities from 27 countries and regions were represented at last weekend"s international education exposition (展览).

The US has always been on the top destination list for Chinese students, with its high education standards and enough scholarship.

Good news:It"s easier to get a US student visa (签证) nowadays. Last year, the refusal rate was only 20 to 30 per cent, much lower than a few years before, according to US Embassy.

Concerns: There"re a lot to prepare. The TOFEL, GRE... It"s longer time to apply to US universities than schools in the UK or Australia.


Easier access to visas and international environment are the UK"s great attractions for Chinese students.

Good news: There are many new scholarships this year, both from the government and universities, such as the Scotland International Scholarship. Concerns: Money. Money. Money. It"s expensive to study in the UK, with an average cost of 200,000 to 300,000 Yuan a year.

Canada"s multicultural environment is good for students" studies and careers.

Good news: Students are allowed to take off- campus part-time jobs during their studies from last year. It"ll help pay living expenses. Students can get two-year work permits after graduation.

Concerns: Only a limited number of scholar- ships are available. They rarely cover the full cost of a study programme.


Good climate, high quality education, favour-

able immigration (移民) policy: these make Australia one of the most popular choices among Chinese students.

Good news: A new E-visa policy ensure a quick application process ( four weeks com-

pared with 12 weeks before )

Concerns: Tuition fees (学费) have risen in the past years. The total cost is about 200,000 Yuan to attend a university located in big cities like Sydney or Melbourne.

Tulips, windmills and wooden shoes: this was the image that once drew tourists. But Holland has more to offer.

Good news: From 2005, Holland and China started recognizing each other"s education certificates. And from 2006, the government provides 4 million euros(欧元) for scholarships to Chinese students every year.

Concerns: Not many Chinese know about Dutch education. Speaking Dutch sounds not easy.

Italy is getting a lot of attention this year in China, with the China-Italy Year. Its art, culture and fashion appeal to many.

Good news:China and Italy will recognize each other"s educational certificates soon. Its government-funded universities are tuition free to international students.

Concerns: The language is a problem. Most classes are taught in Italy.

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior, but when you are asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hope too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to on your own. You’re easily hurt.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well—balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry.

68. According to the passage, a person, who is not willing to change his mind and hard to deal with, probably sleeps ___.

A. on his side   B. on his back     C. curled up D. on his stomach

69. If a person prefers to sleep curled up rather than on his back, he may be well content to ____.

A. do things personally. B. stay alone

C. keep things secret D. trust others easily

A. The people sleeping on their stomach and those sleeping on his backs.

B. The people sleeping on their sides and those sleeping curled up.

C. The people sleeping on their backs and those sleeping on their sides.

D. The people sleeping curled up and those sleeping on their stomach.

71. What the author mainly intends to tell us is that _______.

A. one’s sleeping position has something to do with one’s character.

Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte"s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte"s Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary, quality as her sisters".

Their father was Patrick Bronte born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.

Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.

As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher, but there was no interest shown in Charlotte"s book. ( It was not published until 1869.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it.

It was accepted at once;Thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.

Jane Eyre was immediately successful;The other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1847.

Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.

72. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte?

A. Help him write stories.

B. Help him get trained in art.

C. Teach him how to draw well.

D. Teach him how to educate himself.

73. Which of the following was published after the death of its writer?

A. Shirley.      B. Villette.      C. Agnes Grey.       D. The Professor.

74. The underlined words 'the other two' in the 5th paragraph refer to

A. Shirley and Villette

B. The Professor and Agnes Grey

C. Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights

D. The Professor and Wuthering Heights

75. What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text?

A. Their novels interested few publishers.

B. None of them had more than two books published.

C. None of them lived longer than 40 years old.

D. Emily was the least successful of the three.
