As a writer, I was _36_ to meet such a teacher when I was a middle school student. Her name was Marguerite Byrne.

The editor wrote a secret letter to Miss Byrne, asking her to see _42_ my poems were written by myself. He found it _43_ to believe that a seventeen-year-old student could create material on such a professional level. When Miss Byrne _44_ the letter with me, I was very _45_ ! It was wonderfully encouraging.Miss Byrne also encouraged me to join in a _46_ organized by the CIVITAN organization. I was literally astonished when I received a letter saying that I was the _47_ of the contest. The prize was a _48_ for one hundred dollars and an invitation to a banquet at a hotel in downtown Chicago.My mother, at the time, was not even _49_ that I was interested in writing. _50_ I arrived back home that evening, she didnt ask how the evening had gone. I _51_ the one-hundred-dollar check on the breakfast table _52_ she would see it when she _53_ in the morning, and then I went immediately to bed._54_ later, I was able to repay my debt to Marguerite Byrne by dedicating one of my books, Wry on the rocks, to her. _55_ her encouragement, I wouldnt have achieved so much.36.

This twelve-day event takes place in movie theatres all over the city. Thousands of local movie fans enjoy the latest examples of international cinema.The festival celebrated its twentieth year with a special opening of a night party. Visitors saw a new British starring actor Gabriel Byrne, who was also a special guest that night. He talked about his successful movie and how it was made. The movie is about a young British boy growing up in Africa in the 1960s. Mr. Byrne said that filming in Swaziland and learning about that country were one of the best experiences in his career.Filmfest DC movies dealt with two main subjects this year. One theme was the cinema of Brazil. Filmfest DC officials say Brazil is currently producing many energetic and creative movies. Audience enjoyed ten examples of new Brazilians movies and true-life documentaries.Another theme of the festival was hip-hop music. This kind of music started in America, but its influence and sounds have traveled all over the world. Several movies explored hip-hop culture in countries like Morocco and Senegal. One movie is called La Fabri-K. It tells about a group of hip-hop musicians from Cuba. The musician said their songs helped express how young people feel in Cuba. The songs talk about social problems such as racial identity.Filmfest DC also showed new movies from the United States. One movie is called Akeelah and the Bee. It tells the story of Akeelah, a young girl with special talent for spelling.56. The main purpose of Filmfest DC is to _.

The first- led by anxious parents everywhere- says, “Go right away! Otherwise, youll forget what its like to be in school, and you wont be able to study! Then youll never get a good job in the real world!” If this voice is the one currently pounding in your brain, tell it to be quiet and take a nap. Then, listen to the more rational side of the debate, which is often the specific advice you will get from graduate schools: most graduate students are in their late twenties, and schools like their students to have both excellent life and professional experience before pursuing a higher degree.Of course, not all graduate degrees are created equal. First, there are professional degrees(law, teaching, medicine) versus academic degrees( literature, art, history). Some programs take only a year, and others seem to take the rest of your life. Also, certain professions require you to have more than a masters degree. But some fields are more willing to give a chance to young and inexperienced workers, such as yourself.Ultimately, the best thing to do is ask people who are experienced in your chosen field. Ask them if they think youd better go to a graduate school right away, or you should wait for a while. Ask them about the best schools, and the best degree you want to get. Dont forget to ask them if their panies ever pay for them to get more education. Frequently, a pany will help you pay for it and give you flexible hours, in return for a guarantee of work for a longer period after you have graduated.Attending a graduate school should not be the last resort. It is too expensive and time-consuming to go without really knowing what you want- at least for the time being.59. Anxious parents believe their children _. A. should go to a graduate school immediately B. will enjoy themselves in a graduate school C. can find a very good job with a Bachelor degree D. cant learn a lot in a graduate school60. Graduate schools usually prefer students _.

According to the passage, students shouldnt _. A. ask others for information about schools and degrees B. choose to attend a graduate school when everything else has failed C. ask others about whether they can continue studying in panies D. ask others for advice on when it is best to continue studying62. Some panies give employees who are attending school flexible hours, hoping that employees _. A. agree to work for the pany for a long time B. are qualified for their jobs and able to do a good job C. feel they are badly needed in the pany D. dont feel bored with their work63. Whats the authors opinion according to the passage? A. Graduate schools have some negative effects on the development of students. B. Its not wise for a university student to attend a graduate school right away. C. Students should know what they want to learn before attending a graduate school. D. Students need to study in a graduate school to enrich themselves.CNew survey It is official; the English language has bee increasingly varied. BBC Voices, a survey involving 32,000 people, has discovered lots of new words. There had been concerns that regional dialects (方言) were dying out and Americanization was taken over- happily that isnt true!Varied words A similar survey in the 1950s found that there were 84 different regional expressions for the left-handed but now there are 240. These range from cuddly- wifter in Northumbria, molly-duckered in central Scotland, gammy in Cumbria to keggy in the east Midlands.New Cockney (新伦敦腔) Reasoning is twofold: people move about the country a lot more than in previous years and the UK has bee increasingly multicultural. Study of the Cockney language has found that due to the influx (涌入) of Bangladeshi immigrants(孟加拉移民) in Londons east part, words and accents have both changed. Original Cockney has been replaced by a mixed English of Bangladeshi and British English. However, this doesnt only happen to London. In Liverpool, a mixture of Caribbean-Scouse is being mon, as is Cardiff-Hindi in Wales.New slangs Cockney slang is also keeping up with the times. Britney Spears is a new term for beer, and Becks and Posh for nosh (a kind of snack food). A top DJ has even inspired the title of a new film- Its all gone Pete Tong for “ Its all gone wrong.”Language changes all the time, whether it is inspired by other parts of the world. We never know what we may be saying next!64. According to the new survey, people find that _. A. BBC Voices has lots of new words B. regional dialects are dying out C. American English is taking over D. English has bee varied65. Why did the author take “ the left-handed” for example? A. To show the differences between different dialects. B. To give many examples of the regional expressions. C. To support the idea that dialects are not dying out. D. To present the result of the survey in the 1950s.66. The mixture of languages is the result of _. A. peoples moving frequently B. Bangladeshis immigrating to London C. the UKs traditional culture D. New Cockney replacing Original Cockney67. The best title for the passage might be _. A. English Words under Change B. Language and Culture C. Future Languages D. Words and ImmigrantsDA new report says 75 percent of farmland in Africa has lost nutrients needed to grow crops. The highest rates of nutrient loss are in Guinea, Congo, Angola, Rwanda and Uganda. More than sixty kilograms of nutrients per hectare are being lost each year. The study also warns that food imports to Africa will need to be increased if action is not taken at once.The international nonprofit organization IFDC released the report in New York City last month. The President of Nigeria headed the event. He called on African leaders, aid groups and farming organizations to support a meeting in Nigeria in June to discuss Africas soil crisis.The meeting would discuss ways to increase agricultural productivity across Africa. These include reductions in nutrient mining, limits on cutting of trees, less use of poor grassland and better farming methods that protect the environment. The meeting would also aim to increase the use of fertilizers (化肥) in Africa.Lack of rain is also harming the soil in Africa. The World Meteorological (气象的) Organization says dry weather conditions in East Africa will continue in April. Several of the worst affected areas have recorded their driest months since 1961. The United Nations warns that more than eleven million people in the area urgently need food assistance.The World Food Program has launched a new program that could help pay for a possible humanitarian emergency in Ethiopia this year. The U.N. agency has purchased an insurance agreement that will pay money if rainfall does not reach a certain level this year. The insurance policy is reported to have cost 930 thousand dollars. It was bought from a French insurance pany. The pany will pay the World Food Program about seven million dollars if rainfall between March and October in Ethiopia is below a certain level. The money would be used to get emergency aid more quickly. The chancellor of the World Food Program said the insurance program could help change how governments think about emergency aid.68. The first paragraph mainly tells us _. A. Africans will suffer from hunger if they dont stop soil nutrient loss B. only one forth of the farmland in Africa can be used to grow crops now C. the soil nutrient loss in Africa is getting worse every year D. Guinea and Uganda are suffering the highest rates of soil nutrient loss69. The meeting to be held in Nigeria _. A. will be held by the organization IFDC B. will discuss the soil crisis in Nigeria C. will discuss how to increase crop productivity in Africa D. will discuss how to increase nutrient mining and use of fertilizers70. Which of the following doesnt cause the soil nutrient loss in Africa? A. Cutting trees on a large scale. B. Using bad farming methods. C. Increasing the use of the fertilizers. D. A lack of rainfall for a long time.71. According to the last paragragh, we can learn that _. A. the World Food Program will provide free food for people when necessary B. the U.N. agency has bought an insurance from the World Food Program C. the French insurance pany will pay the World Food Program under certain conditions D. the World Food Program has e to an agreement with the U.N. agency72. The best title for the passage would be_. A. African Countries Are Facing Dangers B. Measures to be taken to Fight Against Loss in Soil Fertility C. African Countries Need Humanitarian Aid D. African Farmland Is Found to Be Severely InfertileESocial InfluenceOf the many influences on human behavior, social influences are the most universal. The main influence on people is people. When we hear the term social influence, most of us think of intentional attempts of someone to persuade us to change our actions or opinions. The television mercial es to mind. But many of the most important forms of social influence are unintentional, and some of the effects we humans have on one another occur simply by means of the fact that we are in each others physical presence.In 1898 a psychologist(心理学家) named Triplett made an interesting observation. In looking over speed records of bicycle racers, he noticed that better speed records were achieved when cyclists raced against each other than when they raced against the clock. This observation led Triplett to perform the first controlled laboratory experiment ever carried out in social psychology. He asked children to turn a wheel as fast as possible for a certain period of time. Sometimes two children worked at the same time in the same room, each with his own wheel; at other times, they worked alone. The results confirmed his theory: Children worked faster in co-action than when they worked alone.Soon after Tripletts experiment on co-action, it was discovered that the mere presence of a passive audience was enough to improve performance. This was discovered accidentally in an experiment by Meumann(1904). He found that the tested persons lifted a weight faster and farther whenever the psychologist was in the room. Later experiments have proved this audience effect.It appears that co-action and audience effects in humans are caused by the individuals(个人的) “ cognitive”, that is, worries about petition and the assessment of performance that others will make. We learn as we grow up that others praise or criticize, reward or punish our performances, and this raises our drive level when we perform before others. Thus, even the early studies of co-action found that if the pressure of petition is removed, co-action effects are reduced. Similarly, audience effects are a function of the tested persons feeling of how much he is being assessed.73. Which of the following would be an example of the co-action effect? A. Joe and his two friends work more slowly when they are together than when each is alone. B. The children finish their homework faster when their father is present than when he is not. C. Players work harder when they exercise together than when they each exercise alone. D. A woman works harder when her boss is in the room than when she is alone.74. What is the main idea of the last paragragh? A. petition and assessment are not related to the co-action and audience effects. B. petition and assessment increase the co-action and audience effects. C. How people grow up determines their adult behavior. D. People praise and criticize children as they grow up.75.
