1. B  由下文可知自己的地位和生活水平降低了。

2. D  女友过去每天晚上都做饭,现在什么事也不做就是“坐”在电视机前看电视。

3. A  根据生活常识,当然是不上班的时候看电视。

4. C  由上文“女友命令我拿些方便面来”可知是边看电视边想象是在吃韩国的“膳食”。而不可能是韩国的水果、疏菜或蛋糕。

5. B  根据下文的内容可知:女友发誓要学做韩国菜肴。

6. D  既然要“记录下长今做菜的每一个细节(record any details of Jang Geum’s cooking)”可见女友命令我“站在电视机旁边”。

7. A  女友认为自己手艺不好的原因是作菜的工具有问题,此句大意为“工欲善其事,必先利其器”。

8. C  由下文的a new knife 可知,女友把厨艺不好的原因归结于那把笨拙的菜刀。

9. A  该句句意为“我决定买把新刀给她。”

10. C  该句句意为“在一家商店里,她特别慎重耐心地挑选。”

11. B  女友最后选了一把与长今的刀形状最接近的刀。

13. D  该句句意为“幸运的是,这把刀并不像营业员吹嘘得那样锋利。”

14. C  由下文的she talked about the dress every day可知,其女友迷上了韩国的服装式样。

15. B  该句句意为“她不但每天谈论(韩国)服装,还威胁说把我的领带改成蝴蝶结,就像长今衣服上的蝴蝶结一样。”

16. A  由句子的谓语动词happened to可知,此处的副词意为“凑巧,巧合”。

17. D  此时岳父母的心情当然是十分震惊。

18. B  该句大意为“《大长今》目的是激励青年人实现他们的雄心壮志。”aim at目的是;shoot at朝……射击;direct at 朝着……方向;work at从事于,致力于。

19. C  看了《大长今》后,女友并没有受到激励去努力地工作或学习,而是每天坐在沙发上,手拿薯条,眼睛盯着电视剧。

20. A  该题句意为“尽管这部电视剧现在已经演完了,但这种局面并没有多少改变。”由even though可知,此处前后句意存在转折关系。

    The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.

Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing-he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!

       The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.

       Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).

       The film is 100% American. However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave!

63.What is the purpose of the text?

       A. To tell the reader about the American government.

       B. To discus the Americans’ ideas about the President.

       C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.

       D. To introduce a new film to the reader.

64.Who plays the role of the President in the film?

       A. Sigourney Weaver.         B. Kevin Kline. 

       C. Bill Mitchell.           D. Ivan Reitman.

65.The underlined word “one” in the 3rd paragraph refers to _____.

       A. the President          B. the director     C. an actor    D. a look-alike

66.Which of the following is best supported by the text?

       A. The author makes fun of the President.

       B. The author thinks highly of the film.

       C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.

       D. The author wishes to become the American President.

The Writers' Strike:Making the Best of the Worst

       By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working.With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.

       Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV.With a most perfect cast(全体演员), the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.

       For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock.Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.

       If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking.If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you.If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .

       If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV.Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.

If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch      

       A.Friday Night Lights          B.30 Rock

       C.the Amazing Race         D.Saturday Night Live

From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that   

       A.two teams won the amazing race

       B.football fans enjoy the Amazing Race

       C.the Bluths care about their family though selfish

       D.30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common

The author writes the passage to tell us that       

       A.the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great

       B.the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation

       C.watching DVD is a good choice during the strike

       D.we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes

The passage is most probably taken from      

       A.a book review      B.a newspaper    

       C.a film poster        D.a DVD menu

Today, almost everyone has heard of Harry Potter. The books detailing his experiences at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have aroused passion, creativity, and interest in reading throughout the world.

But have you ever considered why you are a fan of the Harry Potter series?

JK Rowling has created a list of characters and an environment for them to inhabit that appeals to both adults and children. 

The fantasy aspect of the wizarding world expands the imagination, and takes the mind to new and exciting places. Anything could happen there. Her stories contain parts of the believable and unbelievable, changing the predictability that readers commonly come across and bear in fiction. 

The main theme of the series, including good versus evil, prejudice, love, death, sacrifice, friendship and loyalty, in actuality contributes to the ever-lasting nature of the stories. At the same time, these themes remind us of classic literature, offering mature readers tales that wear like a comfortable pair of shoes, while introducing younger readers to concepts they will meet throughout their lives. 

Much of the appeal also comes from the characters. In each book, JK Rowling introduces and describes the characters in such a way that we wonder not only about their futures, but also about their pasts. Even supporting characters are suddenly more than just extras in the background. And what of Harry Potter himself? We care about Harry, because we watch him grow from an innocent boy to a powerful wizard. We see him as both Hero and Victim. He experiences endless love and extreme pain, and as readers, we experience them with him.

This perfect combination of emotion, suspense and fantasy, together with the fact that JK Rowling is a superb storyteller is the reason why we are Harry potter fans. People are fond of Harry Potter series. With books like these, it’s hard not to be.

Harry Potter series become popular partly because ____________.

A. they remind us of the childhood and environment we had in the past

B. they take us to a world beyond our imagination and expectation

C. they offer us ever-lasting nature of the stories

D. they set an example of hero for us to follow

What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 mean?

A. The supporting characters are not necessary in the story.

B. Readers care only about Harry but not those supporting characters.

C. Even the supporting characters are attractive in the story.

D. Those supporting characters only appear all of a sudden.

The themes of the Harry Potter series do not contain ____________.

A. prejudice and love               B. good and evil

C. death and sacrifice              D. safety and peace

A. Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)

The classic love story explores the lives of the five Bennet sisters at the turn of the 19th century in rural England.

Therefore various love stories start with the question — whether marriage is for love or for money.

B. The Red and the Black (Stendhal)

Julien has a strong desire for power and glory, and for ridding himself of his low social status as the son of a tradesman. Thus, he tries every means to achieve his goal.

C. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)

There is great kindness and warmth in this love story. Poor and plain as Jane Eyre is, she has a strong will, sharp wisdom and great courage. She is forced to battle against a harsh employer and a rigid social order. Yet she is never defeated. Standing on her feet, she gains her own happiness in the end.

It reflects people’s tragic life in Britain in the 18th century. In the story, Oliver Twist, a mild young boy, is born in the workhouse and stays there until he is made to leave. What waits for him next is the falseness of the wealthy and the depths to which poverty pushes the human spirit.

This is an all-time best-seller by Margaret Mitchell. The story takes place during the American Civil War. It records the tragic love stories of Katie Scarlet O’Hara, a southern beauty.
