         Despite losing the final at the Australian open, 28-year-old Chinese tennis player Li Na is popular in
    the foreign media. This is related not only to her identity as the first Asian to play in a Grand Slam singles
    finals, but also her courtside humor and merry personality. Li represents the image of the Chinese people.
         Every successful athlete, on certain occasions, becomes a symbol of his or her nation. Previously,
    Chinese sports players had a strong sense of "representing China", and often appeared conservative(保
    守的) and overcautious. Foreign journalists used to find it hard to distinguish among Chinese athletes due
    to their lack of individuality in their eyes. Li is breaking that traditional image.
         Li's impressive performance on the court was driven by her own personality and it represents a social
    change in China during the past two decades. Mainly, the constraints (约束) on self-expression have
    been shaken off. This straightforward girl represents a different China that allows her to "just be herself".
          Some foreign media outlets regard Li as a "Chinese tennis rebel(叛逆)". She wears a rose tattoo on
    her chest and employs her husband as personal coach; she first thanked her sponsor at the award
    ceremony, and even asked the chair referee during the tense second set: "Can you tell the Chinese not to
    teach me how to play tennis?"
         In fact, such "rebelliousness" didn't upset the Chinese, because they've been fed up with clich?s(陈词
    滥调)like "thank my leaders" or "thank my comrades". Furthermore, being reminded to behave with
    great care is probably the last thing they want while watching a game.
         Chinese society and its people need to relax. They need a little humor and open-mindedness to cope
    with small mistakes, and imperfection should be allowed from time to time. Being excessively "correct"
    can lead to untruthfulness and pressure. China is not as "correct" as it was in the past. However, isn't this
    China more lovely and real?

    1. In the author's opinion, Li Na is different from other Chinese athletes in that ______.
    A. she is a symbol of the country    
    B. she is traditional and overcautious
    C. she has her own individuality    
    D. she is a rebellious tennis player

    2. Why didn't Li Na's "rebelliousness" upset the Chinese?
    A. Because she is the first Asian to play in a Grand Slam singles finals.
    B. Because she is a perfect athlete without any small mistakes.
    C. Because of her impressive performance on the court and her vivid personality.
    D. Because Li Na employs her husband as her personal coach.

    3. We may infer from the passage that ______________.
    A. some referees commented on Li Na's performance during the game
    B. Li Na became the focus of the foreign media after the game
    C. Li Na's impressive performance represents a social change in China
    D. the Chinese used to lay great emphasis on being correct and perfect

    4. The real purpose of the author's writing the passage is about____________.
    A. Chinese belief of being excessively correct
    B. Chinese good behaviors when watching a game
    C. the rebellion of a Chinese tennis player
    D. the inspiration to the Chinese from Li Na's story

    　　It is unbelievable how popular English is in Venezuela (委内瑞拉). Now we have a kind of language mixture between English and Spanish.

    　　In the Venezuelans' daily conversations, they often use English words with Spanish verb endings. For example, if they send a fax, they use the word faxear, or if they have to click on the screen of their computer, they say clickear.

    　　Also, they use simple English words in some Spanish sentences. You might hear someone say,“Voy a comprar unos jeans in el mall”which means“I'm going to buy some jeans in the mall,”or“Okey, vamos”which means“OK, let's go.”

    　　In addition, you see English names everywhere for restaurants--Crystal Ranch, stores--Area Company, gymnasiums--Sport Center, Althletic Center, malls--The Country, and night clubs--Studio Fifty Four. In Caracas(加拉加斯), there is very fashionable neighborhood named Las Merce des, where each street has an American name like New York or Fifth Avenue. Therefore, when you go shopping, you can see signs in English in the windows of stores, such as On Sale.

    　　In some Latin American countries, the increasing influence of English is a question often argued about. But in Venzuela, however, this is not the case. Venezuelans are open to receiving different cultural influences such as European fashion (时装) and British music.

    B．“fax”can be used both as a noun and a verb

    C．“fax”and“click”are two of the English words most popularly used in Venezuela

    D．“-ear”is a verb ending in Spanish

    3．From the third paragraph we can know that _____.

    [　　]

    A．Venezuelans can't speak English well

    B．there're no words for“jeans”or“mall”in Spanish

    信息匹配。 
    下面是美国著名游记作家Bill Bryson的几本作品，首先请阅读它们的封面信息：          
    A B
    C D
    E F
        下面是对几本书的简要介绍，请把相关的内容和它们的封面信息匹配起来。
    1. In this collection, Bill Bryson is writing from home. We find he assesses life both in New England
    and in the contemporary United States. With the telescopic perspective (远望视角) of one who has
    stepped out of the American mainstream and comes back after 20 years, Bryson holds the mirror up
    to US culture and feels strange to his motherland.
    2. This book is a guide to the world’s unspoilt sights and experiences. It presents one thousand fresh
    and fascinating alternatives to hundreds of well-known tourist destinations and sights, including
    alternatives to the Carnival in Rio and the beaches of Thailand, the most-visited national parks, overrated
    restaurants and holiday sites.
    3. Returning to the US after 20 years in England, Bill Bryson decided to reconnect with his mother
    country by hiking the length of the 2, l00-mile Appalachian Trail. Awed by merely the camping section
    of his local sporting goods store, he still goes into the wilderness and learns hard lessons about
    self-reliance.
    4. A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. This book is no exception.
    Following an urge to rediscover his youth, the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey
    that takes him to across 38 states in the country, which is like a small town in his opinion.    
    5. Born in Iowa, Bryson backpacked through Europe as a young man. While living in England some
    20 years later, he revisited many of the same places from Arctic Norway' s northern lights to romantic
    Capri in Italy. Here he jumps back and forth between old memories and new experiences.

         Visitors to museums have to pay "voluntary" admission fees, Boris Johnson, the mayor (市长) of
    London, urged yesterday. He said that encouraging visitors to set a value on museums and art galleries,
    which have been free since 2001, would work extremely well. Mr. Johnson held up New York's
    Metropolitan Museum of Art as a model. Although New York's museums are officially free, visitors are
    strongly encouraged to pay a recommended entry fee of $20. At the Met, entry is impossible without first
    going to the ticket des k.
         Mr. Johnson's spokesman later admitted that free admission was a "huge draw" for London, but he
    said, "Having visited the Met last week, the mayor is impressed by how they maximize voluntary
    contributions and believes there are lessons to be learnt." Mark Jones, director of the Victoria and
    Albert Museum, told The Times that the museum already requested a ?3 donation but was not as
    forceful as New York's institutions. He said, "I'm not in favor of anything that makes people feel they
    won't want to go because they feel like they will have to pay."
          When entrance fees to national museums were decided not to be charged here in 2001, there was a
    70 percent increase in visitor numbers in the first year. Political parties have since been unwilling to
    suggest change, despite concerns about cost. Hugo Swire, the former Shadow Culture Secretary, was
    dismissed in 2007 for suggesting that "museums and galleries should have the right to charge if they wish".
    Some in the art community argue, however, that free entrance has done little to increase the breadth
    (广泛) of visitors and has caused shortfalls in the budget for the museums. In response to it, Colin
    Tweedy, chief executive of Arts & Business, said that Britain was "leading the world" in allowing its
    treasures to be freely available. He said, "To return to museum charging would be a return to the dark
    ages."
         Ben Bradshaw, the Culture Secretary, said, "The mayor revealed his true intention when he suggested
    those who could afford it should be encouraged to contribute to the arts. I believe it is a disaster for the
    culture, arts and sport." He thinks that free museums and galleries have once been one of this Government's great successes.

    1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that ______.

    A. museums in London are free by now
    B. most museums in London have admission fees
    C. Metropolitan Museum of Art is not officially free
    D. free entry is impossible to New York's museums

    2. We can learn from Mark Jones' words that ______. 

    A. his museum shows a lack of money        
    B. admission fees should be forceful
    C. he is in favor of New York's action        
    D. he has a consideration for the visitors

    3. According to the passage, the cancellation of entrance fees to national museums in 2001 _____.

    A. was changed in 2007 by Hugo Swire
    B. has been opposed by political parties
    C. has no influence on the number of visitors
    D. has caused financial problems to the museums

    4.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?

    A. Charging entrance fees to museums.        
    B. Decrease in the number of visitors.
    C. Ensuring visitors' benefits.                
    D. Free access to museums.

    serving nearly 47 million customers daily  1   Brands (KFC, Taco Bell and others) and sandwich chain
    Subway.
         In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald's Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A
    Manger until 2008, and owned the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2006 and the restaurant chain Boston Market
    until 2007.   2  The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as

    business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry. The McDonald brothers
    and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McD
    onald brothers' autobiography.   5

    C. At one time it was the largest global restaurant chain, but it has since been surpassed by multi-brand
       operator Yum!
    D. Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation
        itself.
    E. The company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent decades to include alternative meal
         options. 
    F. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide
        expansion and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965.

         Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearmans's future is looking much brighter than be might have imagined.
    "I've always been into bikes, but never thought I'd end up working with them," he says. "This scheme
    has changed my life." 
         Karlos is learning to refurbish (翻新) old bicycles in the workshop of ReCycle Bikes, a local community
    (社区) charity in Sheffied, which has a contract with the city council to provide training opportunities for
    young people aged 14 to 16, particularly those dropping out of school.
         "It's about engaging youngsters with education and you thtraining by teaching them work and life skills,"
    explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. "These young people have so much potential, but often
    don't realize it."
         Established in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which, once restored, are
    sold for ￡20. Abandoned bikes supplied by the council ensure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently
    formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve further the prospects of the young mechanics. 　　
         "The student population presents a large and ready market," says Pearce. "So we approached the
    university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus. They thought it was a great idea, and
    agreed to supplement our council funding. This means we can train youngsters to repair extra 500 bikes
    over three years." 　　
         Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the career
    development of those who have passed through his workshop. "However, in the past we depended on
    the evidence of personal accounts from the schools because of lack of human and material resources,"
    he says. 　　
         That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. "Most kids have
    ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a puncture. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the
    young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the impact on their well-being is immense. Add
    to that a growing concern for the environment, and it's no surprise that bike sales are on the increase."
    1. What do we know about ReCycle Bikes?
    A. It is a popular brand of bikes which are sold in Sheffield.
    B. It is a local community charity that provides training opportunities for reenagers.
    C. It is a contract signed between a local community charity and the city council.
    D. It is a training program offered by the city council to those excluded from school.
    2. How did ReCycle Bikes run at the beginning?
    A. By repairing bicycles donated by the public and selling them.
    B. By donations from the public and Sheffield University.
    C. By selling bicycles supplied by the city council.
    D. By tuition fees from kids aged between 14 and 16.
    3. ReCycle Bikes has formed a partnership with Sheffield University because ____.
    A. students at Sheffield University assure a large and ready market
    B. Sheffield University offers many mechanical teachers to ReCycle Bikes
    C. heffield University donates a lot of money to ReCycle Bikes
    D. teenagers at ReCycle Bikes can study at Sheffield University
    4. ReCycle Bikes depended on information from the schools in the past because ____.
    A. the schools could give accurate information  to improve its service
    B. students disliked telling the truth when asked about  their personal ideas
    C. ReCycle Bikes didn't have the ability to track students'  career development
    D. most of the training organizations did it this way at that moment
