19、ght before. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house. The man and the woman were ploughing in their fields.

20、ce. At the time the man couldnt wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up.

25、s called “the most attractive man”. His strength and forehand and backhand skills are the best in the world, which are in fact unbeatable while he is at his best. Marat Safin was born in Moscow on 27th January, 1980, and was introduced to the game at a very early age. His mother Rausa, one of the fo
26、rmer top 10 Russian women tennis players, used to take baby Marat with her when she practiced at the local Spartak club. This is where Marat also learned to play. Marat had picked up his racket(球拍 ) almost as soon as he could walk and at five was hitting balls with a little child until 1992. When Ma
27、rat was 13, his parents decided to send him abroad for further practice, so in that year Marat and his mother visited a tennis school in Valencia where Maria Pasqual, former director of Spanish women s tennis, was asked to judge his potential(潜力 ). Pasqual liked what she saw and managed to persuade
28、a Swiss client(客户 ) into keeping him at the school. In the following four years Marat lived in Valencia employing Pasqual as his career advisor, working on his great clay court skills and learning the Spanish language. Marats first title came in 1997 at a Challenger in Espinho and soon afterwards he
29、 turned professional. He won his first title on the ATP Tour in August, 1999 when he beat Greg Rusedski in the final of the MFS Professional Championships in Boston. In 2000, Safin won his first Grand Slam(大满贯 ) title US Open. He also reached the final of the Australian Open in 2002 and 2004. On Nov
30、ember 7, 2004, Marat Safin beat Czech qualifier Stepanek to win his third Paris Masters title. He also won the Paris Masters in 2000 and 2002. “ I really enjoy tennis because it brings about extreme emotions and allows me to live my dreams,” said Safin. Yes, the future certainly looks rosy for him.
31、Just like what his former adviser, Maria Pasqual said, “He will be a champion one day” surely he already is! 40. It can be inferred from the passage that _.

34、 of Malacca Youve heard of the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But what about pirates in real life? The Strait of Malacca off Indonesia s coast is known to be one of the most pirate-infested(大批海盗出没的 ) areas in the world. In 2006 alone, there have been six pirate attacks in this area. The most
35、 recent attack was on Tuesday, July 4, 2006. The pirates traveled on a speedboat off Indonesias Sumatra Island and followed a Japanese ship. A duty officer noticed the incoming attack when the pirates tried to board the back end of the ship. Floodlights were turned on and the crew used water to succ
36、essfully prevent the pirates from boarding the ship. This attack was just two days after pirates boarded two U.N.-chartered(包租 ) ships carrying tsunami(海啸 ) reconstruction materials. In those attacks, there were no injuries, but crew members among one ship were robbed of their personal belongings an
37、d cash. On the second ship, the pirates damaged and stole various pieces of equipment. Although there have been six attacks this year, last year attacks were at an all-time low because of increased naval patrolling(巡逻 ) by Indonesia and its neighbors. “ At the moment we don t know if these are isola
38、ted cases or the start of attacks again in the Malacca Straits,” said Noel Choong, chief of the International Maritime Bureau s(海事局 ) piracy reporting center in Kuala Lumpur. More than 50,000 ships pass through the strait each year carrying half of the world s oil and a third of its commerce. The ar
39、ea is one of the busiest shipping lanes(航路 ) in the world and a key link between Asia and Europe. 44. From the passage we know that the Strait of Malacca is _. A. the busiest shipping lane in the world today B. one of the best places to make the pirate movies C. a busy shipping lane where pirate att
40、acks sometimes take place D. had six pirate attacks in 2005 which were an all-time low 45. According to the passage, two U.N.-chartered ships _ near the Strait of Malacca. A. successfully prevented the pirates from boarding the ships B. were attacked by the pirates on July 6, 2006 C. had all the tsu
41、nami reconstruction materials robbed of by the pirates D. had some of their crews injured in the fighting against the pirates 46. The underlined “isolated cases” in Paragraph 6 most probably means _. A. occasional ones, not happening in groups B. the ones far away from the group C. the ones divided
42、into different groups D. the ones separated from the group 47. From the passage, we can infer that _ is nearest to the Strait of Malacca. A. London B. New York C. Hong Kong D. Tokyo D On July 2, 2006, a giant asteroid(小行星 ) named 2004 XP14 flew past the earth. The asteroid was discovered in 2004 and
43、 scientists believe it is nearly half a mile wide. The scientists determined its size by the asteroid s brightness. This is not the first time, however, that an asteroid has come close to our planet. Many other asteroids in history have zipped(有力而迅速地行动 ) past the earth, but 2004 XP14 is by far the l
44、argest. In January of 2001, asteroid 2001 YB5 passed the earth by only 510,000 miles. In 2002, asteroid 2002 MN missed the earth by 210,000 miles making it the closest call ever. The 2004 XP14, however, is 74-million miles from the earth, but it is still the largest asteroid to pass our planet. Alth
45、ough some asteroids did pass the earth at a very close proximity, many scientists believe the possibility of one hitting our planet is fairly slim(甚微 ). We have many of the asteroids mapped out in our solar (of the sun) system, and we actually have been able to determine their orbit(运行轨道 ) for years
46、 to come. Asteroid 2004 XP14 is expected to fly past the earth 10 more times within the next century. It is visible from Europe by the human eyes and can be seen in North America with a telescope. 48. According to the passage, what do we know about 2004 XP14? A. Its an asteroid that has flown past the earth by the closest distance. B. It can be seen by the human eyes in most parts of the world. C. Its an asteroid that flew past on July 2, 2006 for the first time. D. It probably flies past the earth in every ten years. 49. The underlined word “pr
