6.After a terrible car accident,the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years,for he became both blind and deaf.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried several times to put an end to his life.
His wife did her best to tend and comfort him.By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.
On a hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet.Unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning.The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree.He felt that he was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he didn't dare to believe that he saw a plough(犁)lying near the wall.When Mrs.Edwards came running up to him,she shouted for help.He saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10years.
The news of Robert's regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread.Many doctors came to prove the truth of the news.Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincing reasons,however.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident,perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.

C.Doctors held the belief that Edwards was never really blind or deaf.
D.Edwards lost all his senses for about 20minutes after the lightning had struck him down.
48.What did Edwards see first after being struck down by the lightning?C
A.His wife     B.The larger tree     C.A plough     D.The lightning itself
49.How did Edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor?D
A.He regained them from a head injury when he fell from a tree.
B.His wife's first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them.
C.The lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head.
D.The blow that made him blind and deaf was very severe,so it took another severe blow to regain them.
50.What's the best title for the passage?B
A.Every coin has two sides
B.Regaining the long-lost sight and hearing

1.Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Radio began as a point-to-point communication device.In 1919,Radio Corporation of American would charge a fee if you sent a message from one radio to another.Either the senders or the recipients pay the fee.The purpose was basically to undercut the telegraph,and they made their money(51)C,not by providing radio as a (52)B but by selling hardware.
In about 1922,radio (53)A into a broadcast mechanism.For broadcasting,in the simple sense,there was a(54)D and it broadcast,and lots of people could hear it.But broadcasting was seen as a way to drive business to the radio hardware makers.The stations were(55)C by people who made radios or (56)A,by churches and universities that wanted to get their(57)B out but weren't going to make money.
And there was a lot of stuff which sounds very (58)C today about how this medium was going to(59)D.And in the 20s,Radio Broadcast Magazine (60)A a $500prize for the best essay that answered the question:"Who is going to pay for broadcasting,and how?"The winner suggested a (61)B on radio listeners.Now,it sounds a little strange to us,but that's actually the British model.The BBC supports itself by a tax on TV and radio sets.
There was some discussion about(62)B,and Herbert Hoover,the Secretary of Commerce then,was strongly against this idea.He said it was (63)D that we should allow so great a possibility for service (64)C by advertising chatter.The Commerce Department was(65)A radio at the time.After the creation of national radio networks then the pressure-advertisers wanted to go on with it,people who owned the radio network wanted to sell ads,and that's how radio developed as an advertising medium.

11.Defenders of the French language are angered by plans to introduce courses taught in English at public universities,arguing that France must protect itself against the risk of losing its culture identity.
The French Parliament recently started to debate the issue as part of a bill on a broader reform of higher education,but all attention has focused on an article that would lift a 19-year ban on English as a teaching language at public universities.
The French government backs the change,which it says would help French graduates compete in a global economy as the country struggles to regain competitiveness.More French students fearing poor job prospects at home,where youth unemployment is nearly 25percent,are studying and working abroad.One of their main destinations is London,which now has the sixth largest French population in the world.
However,opponents of the bill,including professors,lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France,say the global community of French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal(背叛) of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an attack against the language,that would be a very,very regrettable thing indeed,"said Claude Hagege,a language scientist.
France has long defended its culture at home and abroad.In 1994,the so-called"Toubon Law"made the use of French compulsory in all TV broadcasts,meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed(配音),while radio stations must play at least 40percent of French music for most of the day.
Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency(熟练度)-it placed 23rd in a 2012global ranking published by education company Education First-even though the use of English has grown notably in academic circles.
Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings.In a 2011-2012survey by Britain's Times newspaper,the highest-ranked French university is in the 59th position.Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

78.What does"the change"in Paragraph 3refer to?Allowing using English as a teaching language at public universities.
79.Some people are against the change because they think it wouldbe a betrayal of other French-speaking nations/make France lose its cultural identity.
80.According to"Toubon Law",what is a must for TV stations in France?Using French in all TV broadcasts/The use of French in all TV broadcasts.
81.Genevieve Fioraso thinks the release of the bill may help French universitiesattract more students/be more appealing/rank higher in international rankings.

15.On the high-speed train Avignon to Paris,my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train in the middle of a car,directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years.It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger.My husband and I pulled out books.The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face.Except for a lunch break,she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip.Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance,but never once did she catch my eye.My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.
     I was amused,but some people would have felt uncomfortable,even repulsed(厌恶的).there is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions.Partly it's a question of hygiene.And it's a matter of degree.Making up----a private act----has a way of neglecting the presence of others.I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table,demonstrating that while she was next to me,she was not with me.
     In fact,I am generally prohibited from making up in public,except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment.In a gathering more professional than social,I would do so.
     Kathy Peiss,a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's.Deploring(强烈反对) the practice as a waste of company time,trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers.Peiss theorizes that it was female's making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen.
      Peiss tells me that after the 30's,pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue.It became an accepted practice.I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself.Sounding mildly shocked,she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward.Why?Because it would be"a gesture of inappropriate feminity(女性化)."One guess is that most professional women feel this way.There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.

61.According to the author,"My husband and I could have been a blanket wall."(Line 6,Para.1)most probably means"A".
A.We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes.
B.We looked at the French woman expressionlessly.
C.We were treated with an expressionless face.
D.We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes.
62.In the author's opinion,sheD.
A.feels comfortable when making up in public.
B.makes up before any professional gatherings.
C.only makes up on social occasions.
D.allows public making up on certain occasions.
63.According to Peiss,nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason thatB.
A.normal office work was disturbed.
B.make dominance was emphasized there.
C.it discouraged women's interest in career.
D.it distracted make workers'focus on work.
64.Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public?D
A.Because they are worried about being looked down upon.
B.Because it implies women's disadvantages in academic fields.
C.Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males.
D.Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations.
65.It can be inferred that in a highly open society,the differences between men and womenC.
A.have attracted little attention.
B.hinder the social development.
C.still call for great concern.
D.are attractive topics in talk shows.

16.A Korean wave is sweeping across China,and You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.Besides,the book,The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane,read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while.
After the enormous craze generated by Great Jang-Geum in 2003,the resurgence (复活) of South Korean TV dramas can be attributed to the joint efforts of the country's government and TV series makers.The South Korean government issued regulations saying at least 80percent of the TV programs had to be domestically produced.It also fixed the minimum number of homemade TV series to be broadcast in the country.That not only helped South Korean TV productions gain a firm foothold in the domestic market,but also laid the foundation for their successful attempt into overseas markets.
Recent years have seen great innovations in South Korean TV productions in terms of themes and narrative patterns.Take You Who Came From The Star as an example.Although aliens visiting Earth is an often-used theme,You Who Came From The Star's script remains logical and fast-paced.It mixes the plot with romance and murder and keeps the audience guessing about how the story will unfold.When it comes to love stories,the new South Korean teleplays no longer use the sorrow card; instead,they introduce them with unpredictable ideas and romantic punch lines.
The three TV stations,SBS,KBS and MBC,control the majority of South Korean TV market,each specializing in a different area and appealing to people of different ages.The productions are smooth and use advanced technologies such as high-speed photography and computer-generated effects,creating a real-life visual impact.
Moreover,the filming for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts (剧本) are just one-third ready.Many popular productions have their own websites,where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts,inviting viewers to leave messages,discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future series.This not only keeps viewers'interest in the TV dramas alive,but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audience's demand.
Hopefully,the success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home,and possibly abroad.

67.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT one South Korean TV drama?C
A.You Who Came From The Star.               B.The Heirs.
C.The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.  D.Great Jang-Geum.
68.Why are most of South Korean TV programs required to be produced within South Korea?C
A.Because the TV programs produced out of South Korea are poorly made.
B.Because they can't match up to better produced works from other countries.
C.Because South Korean TV series are encouraged to promote its development.
D.Because just South Korea can provide enough TV market for them.
69.What kind of ending does You Who Came From The Star probably have?D
A.Sad and surprising.  B.Violent and frightening.
C.Romantic and sad.    D.Romantic and happy.
70.What's the advantage of South Korean TV programs over Chinese TV dramas?D
A.Government's support.  B.Often-used theme.
C.Different technologies. D.Changeable scripts.
