12、 I was _23_ a few years later when he married my sisters roommate. And yet the event that most showed our partnership and _24_ our friendship happened over 25 years ago, when we were in our 20s.

13、king about the party, and Curt _25_ me and said, “Steve, youve had too much _26_.

14、 sat behind the wheel, he said, “Im going to need your _30_ because Im not sure how to get to your house from here.” “No problem,” I_31_. Curt started the car and we were _32_. The next 10 miles seemed like a hundred as I prompted(提示 ) Curt with _33_: left now, right soon, slow down, speed up and so

15、 on. The important thing was that we got home _34_ that night. Ten years later at my wedding, Curt brought _35_to the eyes of 400 guests as he told the story of our partnership and _36_ we drove home together that night. Why was it such a(n)_37_ story?

20、eir first language and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one million people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more

21、 and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about dangers of “non-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music? Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the

22、same language? Not necessarily, I have never agreed that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India, where many of them speak at least some English, and Pakistan, the same situation with India If we all speak English, will we then all start eating

23、 McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(控制 ), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perha

24、ps more French or German as well. When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic e-mail from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe its like a rose,” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose

25、s?” Well, I love roses and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you dont necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, thatll be fine by me. 41. By saying “Ask the people of Indi

26、a and Pakistan” (in Paragraph 3), the author is trying to show that_. A. speaking the same language doesnt necessarily bring peace B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries C. English doesnt kill other languages D. English is widely used in the world 42. What does “rose” in the last

27、 paragraph stand for? A. The world B. A kind of flower C. A language D. The earth 43. This passage is mainly about _. A. why English has become a global language B. how many people in the world speak English C. how people in the world learn English as a foreign language D. whether we need to worry a

28、bout English being a world language B DJs(disc jockeys) are the people who play and present music on the radio, or in nightclub. A VJ(video jockey) is a person who introduces music videos on television. VJs were first seen on television in the early 1980s when MTV went on the air. As MTV became popu

29、lar, and the audience for music videos expanded, a variety of other music video channels started broadcasting. In addition to rock music, there were channels for people who had a lot of interest in alternative kinds of music, such as country music, light music, and R B(rhythm and blues 节奏蓝调 ), and a

30、ll of these channels needed VJs. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIVA in Europe had started. The VJs for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. Although some VJs did shows that focused on small audiences and showed mostly local content,

31、 other VJs presented shows for international viewers. These VJs, and the material they presented, needed to be popular in several different cultures. One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but her parents and grandparents are from India, France and England. She s

32、peaks three languages and has fans across Asia, from Japan to the United Arab Emirates. Another VJ who has made a big hit in Asia is Lili. She is actually a computer- Animated(用计算机绘制的 ) VJ on MTV Asia. An actress wearing special computer equipment makes Lili move like a puppet(木偶 ). The actress also

33、 talks for Lili, and her shows can be seen in five languages. When asked what makes a good video jockey, many successful VJs have given similar answers. To be a good VJ you need to know a lot about music, you need to be funny, and you cant be shy. 44. The passage is mainly about _. A. how to become

34、a VJ B. the most popular VJ today C. the differences between DJs and VJs D. some general information about VJs 45. What do Channel V and VIVA have in common? A. They are both owned by MTV B. They are music video channels in Asia C. They have viewers in more than one country D. They do not use VJs to

35、 introduce music 46. Which is NOT true about Asha Gill? A. She speaks more than one language B. Her family were all born in Malaysia C. Shes popular in quite a lot of Asian countries D. She is a successful VJ 47. Which of the following does the passage NOT mention as being important for someone who

36、wants to be a VJ? A. Speaking many different languages B. Listening to a lot of music C. Talking easily with different people D. Being able to make people laugh C Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 commercials(商业广告

37、) for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. “As long as it works,” he said in 1991, “Ill continue to do those commercials.” Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. “He still wont let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitti

38、ng shoes.” Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work. “He fed me,” Thomas said, “ and if I got out of line,

39、hed beat me.” Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind, “I thought if I owned a restaurant,” he said, “I could eat for free.” A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fr

40、ied Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968. In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendys Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $6 billion a y

41、ear in sales. Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine,66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt that he could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金会 )for Adoption in 1992. In 1993, Thomas, who had left

42、 school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed. “The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave,” said his friend Pat Williams. “He wasnt a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Ev

Rexs D Even bird brains can get to know an entire continent - but it takes them a year of migration to do so, suggests a Princeton research team. The scientists have shown that migration adult sparrows can find their way to their winter

46、 nesting grounds even after being thrown off course by thousands of miles. The team first brought 30 sparrows to Princeton from northern Washington State, where the birds had been in the process of migrating southward from their summer breeding grounds in Alaska. Half the birds were juveniles(少年 ) o

47、f about three months in age that had never migrated before, while the other half were adults that had made the round trip to their wintering site in the south-western United States at least once. After the birds were released, they attempted to resume(重新开始 ) their migration, but both age group grew disoriented(迷失方向 ) quickly. “All the birds scattered(分散 ) at first,” Wikelski said. “It was clear that they were turned around for a couple of days. But while the adults eventu
