题目内容

5.It was 1:30 a.m.Monday at London's Savoy Hotel and,with autograph books and cameras,a group of brighteyed tennis fans of all ages were waiting for just a glimpse of Maria Sharapova(莎拉波娃).
    The 17-year-old girl defeated champion Serena Williams(威廉姆斯) 6-1 6-4 in the Wimbledon(温网)final on Saturday in London to become the first Russian to win a single title at the championships.
    A silver lining to a depressing,rain-hit Wimbledon,she has raised heated passion.
    Nobody was complaining,though,for the 1.83-metre Sharapova has created a welcome wave of interest in tennis,something missing in recent years.
    Not even Anna Kournikova(库尔尼科娃)evoked(唤起) such passion when she broke on to the scene.To look good on court is one thing,but Sharapova can actually play the game too.Extremely well.
    She proved it over 13 days at the world's most prestigious tournament.Playing tennis of the highest quality throughout,the Russian's triumph not only lifted the tournament from fits of rain-induced depression but also salvaged(拯救;挽回) the season for the woman's tour.
    Sharapova was given no easy ride in the tournament,having to beat 1999 champion Lindsay Davenport(达文波特)in the semifinals and twice-champion Serena Williams for the title.Neither caused her much concern.
"I don't remember too much about the final,"Sharapova giggled."I was in my own place."
    She will find it increasingly hard to find any place to call her own from now on after advertisers identified her as the most marketable woman in sport.
    In Russia she is sensational news.She headlined the news bulletins and was telephoned by former Russian President Boris Yeltsin after her triumph.
   Sharapova will return to her adoptive Florida home knowing life will never be the same again.
    But the girl who arrived in the US aged seven with her father and just US$700 is determined not to let fame and riches detract from her number one love,tennis.
"I know things will start coming up and that many more things will want to get involved,but I want to keep my head cool and play tennis,"she said.

A.Because the good-looking Kournikova would break on to the scene.
B.Because the fans wanted to take a picture of Sharapova.
C.Because Sharapova was expected to appear there.
D.Because it gave the fanatics shelter from the rain.
62.Who has won the most times in Wimbledon?C

4.More People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple Life

Kay and Charles Giddens,two lawyers,sold their home to start a B&B hotel.Four years later,the couple dishes out banana pancake breakfast,cleans toilets and serves homemade chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B&B hotel surrounded by trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.
"Do I miss the freeways?Do I miss the traffic?Do I miss the stress?No,"says Ms.Giddens,"This is a phenomenon that's fairly widespread.A lot of people are reevaluating their lives and figuring out what they want to do.If their base is being damaged,what's the payoff?"
Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing,living closer to work,avoiding shopping malls,borrowing books from the library instead of buying them,and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.
Vicki Robin,a writer,lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make."You become conscious about where your money is going and how valuable it is,"Ms.Robin says,"You tend not to use things up.You cook at home rather than eat out…"
Janet Luhrs,a lawyer,quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks."It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,"she says,"Simplicity is not just about saving money; it's about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music."
Mrs.Luhrs now edits a magazine,Simple Living,which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes,organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions,and generally how to consume less.
"It's not about poverty,"Mrs.Luhrs explains,"It's about conscious living and creating the life you want.The less stuff you buy,the less money goes out of the door,and the less money you have to earn."

20.UNITED NATIONS,December 19,2013 (Xinhua)--The United Nations held a special meeting to honor great Nelson Mandela,the former South African president who passed away on December 19,2013 at the age of 95,because Nelson Mandela is respected across the world.And to South Africans he is a superstar.He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races,although he spent 27 years in prison.

    His being popular is similar to that of John F.Kennedy in US or Winston Churchill in Britain,but few politicians in this times have achieved his level of being popular.Sometimes it isn't completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career.He's a very,very clever man.However,he is far from perfect.
     Most articles for his birthday,which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day,mainly mentioned that Mandela did have his shortcomings.Then they returned to their flowing praises.
"Through the ages,the human race has had its icons (偶像)---men and women who rose above ordinary people to encourage their generations,"The Mail and Guardian Weekly said."In our generation,the gods presented us Nelson Mandela."

14.Mothers and daughters go through so much-yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all?Perri Klass and her mother,Sheila Solomon Klass,both gifted professional writers,prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood,daughterhood,and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠).
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother's:both have full-time careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel-in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression (大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a   luxury  for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she's ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can't sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit long-hidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

48.Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother's?D
A.They both have gone through difficult times.
B.They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C.They have the same joys and pains,and love and bitterness.
D.They both have experiences as daughter,mother and writer.
49.The word"luxury"in Paragraph 3meansC.
A.something rare but not pleasant
B.something that cannot be imagined
C.something expensive but not necessary
D.something that can only be enjoyed by boys
50.What is Paragraph 4mainly about?A
A.The content of the book.
B.The purpose of the book.
C.The influence of the book.
D.The writing style of the book.

If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized,we are not really learning the language. We must"learn through use."Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
