【2011·甘肃省普通高中第一次联考】

People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race, At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.

Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966)

Taylor’s fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.

Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others — several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.

 (辽宁省沈阳二中2008届第四次模拟考试E篇)

When you choose a freezer, remember it’s probably going to be with you for a long time. So it’s important to know which freezer is right for your needs.

   First, decide if you want an upright or chest model. Uprights are more convenient. Their storage space is more accessible and they take up less floor area. However, chest models are more energy-efficient because less cold air escapes when they are open.

   If you are buying an upright, you’ll have to choose between frostless(无霜) or manual （手动的）defrost(解冻). Chest freezers are always manual. Frostless freezers automatically defrost at present intervals（每隔一段时间） and remove the water. Manual models must be defrosted by hand every few months or whenever frost pile up to about a quarter of an inch.

   To help your freezer reach a ripe old age, try to find a spot that’s cool, dry, and away from drafts(精棉). Drafts and heat will raise the freezer’s cabinet temperature, which makes it work harder to keep cool. That means wasted energy. That means wasted energy and a shortened life.

   Dry air is important because high humidity (湿气) can cause the freezer to rust outside and frost up inside. With proper care, a freezer can serve you for 15 years or more. Regular cleaning and simple maintenance will help it maintain a zero-degree temperature and keep it smelling fresh and looking almost new.

   Frostless models requires less care than manual defrost freezers. The inside of a frostless unit should be washed periodically with warm water and baking soda or a mild soap, rinse, and dried.

  Good habits go a long way toward a freezer that runs efficiently. To get the most from your freezer, check regularly to make sure it’s providing a true zero-degree temperature.

  Keep the freezer at least three-quarters full. The emptier it get, the more energy is wasted. If more than three pounds of food per cubic foot of storage space is added every 24 hours, the resulting high or low temperature can damage the food.

 72. What can we learn from this passage?

  A. It is more important to keep the freezer at the temperature of zero-degree.

  B. It is an easy task to have your freezer serve you for 15 years.

  C. You don’t have to worry about defrosting if you choose a chest freezer.

  D. The opening of freezers has nothing to do with energy-saving.

73. According to the passage, choosing the best place for your freezer means_____.

   A. putting it in an unheated garage if possible

   B. locating it near a stove if it is a manual-defrosted model

   C. trying to keep it away from heat, drafts, and humidity

   D. locating it as close as possible to the kitchen door

74. In order to get the best results, you should______.

   A. use cool water to wash the inside of frostless models

   B. keep the freezer at least 75% full

   C. add three pounds of food every 24 hours

   D. put your freezer in a garage with a strong floor

75. Which statement best describes the main idea of the passage?

   A. It tells the most economical ways to use a freezer.

   B. It explains how to defrost a manual-defrosted freezer.

   C. It introduces the advantages and disadvantages of two kinds of freezers/

   D. It gives useful advice on how to choose and maintain a freezer.

LONDON, England（CNN）--- The youngest person to sail solo around the world returned home Thursday from his 30,000-mile, 282-day ocean journey.

Mike Perham, 17, sailed into Lizard Point in Cornwall, the southernmost point in Britain, at 9:47 a.m., his race team said.

“It feels absolutely brilliant,” Mike told CNN by phone hours before crossing the finish line. “I'm really, really excited to be going across the line at last. It doesn't feel like long since I crossed it first.”

Mike set off on his round-the-world trip on November 18, 2008. He has been sailing his yacht, TotallyMoney.com, single-handedly, though a support team has been sailing next to him along the way.

The teen has now achieved the title of Youngest Sailor to Circumnavigate the Globe Solo, according to the Guinness World Records.

Mike learned how to sail when he was seven years old from his father, Peter and at age 14, he sailed across the Atlantic alone.

The teenager's school --- which Mike describes as “highly supportive” of his trip --- has redesigned his coursework to fit in with his trip. It also gave him some coursework to do during “quiet moments,” according to Mike's Web site.

There haven't been many of those quiet moments. Repeated autopilot failures forced him to stop for repairs in Portugal, the Canary Islands, South Africa, and twice in Australia, according to his Web site.

Bad weather in the Southern Ocean --- between Australia and Antarctica --- forced Mike to battle 50ft waves and 57 mph winds. He said at one point, a “freak wave” picked up the boat and turned it on its side.

“My feet were on the ceiling at the time,” he told CNN. “That was a really hairy moment, and I was certainly thinking, ‘Why am I here?’ But we took the sails off and the day after I thought, ‘This is brilliant!’”

Mike describes his father as his biggest hero, always supportive of what he wanted to achieve. Peter Perham said he wasn't too worried about his son facing dangerous situations at sea, as long as he knew what to do and stayed safe.

71. Mike Perham returned to Britain in ________.

A. August      B. September      C. October            D. November

72. Mike Perham is ________ that went on the round-the-world trip in the world up till now.

A. the first      B. the bravest    C. the luckiest    D. the youngest

73. We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. the English school is the same as ours

B. the English school doesn’t care for students

C. the English school has a humane management

D. the English school gives students a lot of course work

74. According to the passage, Mike did anything EXCEPT ________ on his trip.

A. regret        B. worry     C. abandon     D. fear

75. The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. Mike’s exciting sail trip around the globe

B. how Mike’s father taught him to sail a boat

C. why CNN wanted to report the news to the public

D. the introduction of the Guinness World Records
