     On my first trip in the United States, I went to San Antonio. I was on foot. So I went to only three places
there: the Alamo, the River Walk, and the Art Gallery. I especially enjoyed visiting the Alamo, a well- known
building in America.
     When I arrived at the Alamo, I was deeply impressed because it was well kept and in good shape. The
Alamo was erected in about 1722, was later used as a fort (保垒), and has been kept as a state monument
(纪念馆) to the Texan War of Independence against Mexico. During the battle, all of the Texan defenders
were killed. I was surprised at the exhibition of rifles, guns, cannons and swords.
    I was especially attracted by the paintings of a war. The paintings expressed the feelings of a painter very
well. Even though about 160 years have passed since the Battle of the Alamo, the exhibit is well kept. When
I came out after seeing the exhibition, I felt as if I had a victory. The outer wall of the Alamo was destroyed
here and there. When I touched the wall, I could feel the damage. After the war, little remained of the Alamo.
All of the windows and doors were destroyed. The top part of the gate way disappeared without a trace (遗
迹). I will remember the Alamo forever. It is one of the best places to visit in San Antonio.

1. It can be inferred according to the passage that the author may be a _____.

A. writer
B. Chinese
C. European
D. foreigner to Americans

2. The underlined word "erected" (in Paragraph2) means _____.

A. found
B. invented
C. repaired
D. built

3. People come to visit the Alamo now for _____.

A. its height and shape
B. its history and the story about it
C. the exhibits in it
D. its shape

4. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

A. A Famous Building in America.
B. My First Visit to America.
C. The Texan War of Independence against Mexico.
D. My Impressions of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.

     On October 19,1959, the first Special English program was broadcast (广播) on the Voice of America.
It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose
native language was not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work.
However, _____. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And
they still are.
     Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English.
But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American-English. It succeeds in helping
people learn English in a non-traditional way. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English
speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.
     Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hourly
broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20minutes of feature (特写报道)
programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture, and
environment, and on the weekend about news events and American idioms. These programs are followed by
in-depth (深入的) 15 minutes features about American culture, history, science, medicine, space, important
people or short stories.

     Notre-Dame de Paris ( 《巴黎圣母院》 ) is one of the well- known novels written by French author
Victor Hugo. I have just finished this book.
     Reflecting on the content of the book, I am most impressed by the architecture of that time, like the
churches that represented power and luxury (奢华). It shows how great architects' appreciation of beauty
and their capacity of turning their dreams into buildings are.
     When it comes to the heroine Esmerelda, I am deeply impressed by her beauty and kindness. I love her
not only for her fascinating appearance but also because of her good mind and pitiful destiny. We can see
her pure beauty from how she treats the goat, how she saves the jobless poet, and how she sacrifices for
love. In my eyes, she is a lost angel in the world. However, all this perfect girl has received is to lead a
vagrant (漂泊的) life. She lives in a slum (贫民窟) and is often made fun of by the so-called upper class
of society. She is abandoned and threatened. In the end, Esmerelda sadly makes the decision to end her life.
     Different lifestyles are displayed in the novel, like foolish Phoebus and the ugly hunchback (驼背)
Quasimodo. A striking comparison is demonstrated (展示, 证明) between Phoebus and Quasimodo. They
both fall in love with the gypsy (吉普赛人) girl at the same time and both are refused. Their love is so
strong and sincere, while one wants to conquer and the other chooses to sacrifice.
     I think that may be the real charm of the famous novel. It tells not only a sad story, but also reveals
human beings' pursuits (追求) of love and happiness. However, not every one receives the same treatment
in search of their love and happiness. What should we do when we are faced up with the darkness and
unfairness of society? Everyone has different answers, as the characters in the novel do.

1. What is implied but not stated directly in the passage?

A. Notre-Dame de Paris was written by Victor Hugo.
B. The architecture was built with advanced building technology.
C. The churches represented power and luxury.
D. Esmerelda is so beautiful and friendly that the writer is deeply struck.

2. What's the author's attitude towards Esmerelda?

A. Criticizing and complaining.
B. Admiring and sympathetic.
C. Disappointed and upset.
D. Regretful and sad.

3. The best title of the passage may be ____.

A. My reading of Notre-Dame de Paris
B. Charming Esmerelda
C. Notre-Dame de Paris
D. Different lifestyles in the novel

     FOR many of us, cartoon strips (连环画) are simply one of our pastimes. The popular Japanese manga
provides us with an escape from reality into a world of fantasy, adventure and romance. With much less text
and pictures running for pages, it fits perfectly into today's fast, throwing away city lifestyle. But Tsai Chih-
chung, a famous Taiwanese illustrator (漫画家), doesn't agree. He believes cartoons can be a bridge
connecting traditional Chinese culture and wisdom with the modern world in a much more wise and acceptable
way.
     He has interpreted (演绎) Lao Zi, Confucius, Mencius, Zhuang Zi and Sun Zi and made their works
accessible to a global audience. He has also produced two books about Zen (禅宗), introducing oriental
philosophy (哲学). His cartoons are humorous yet full of wisdom and are admired as an easy way to learn
Chinese classics.
    After avoiding the public for ten years, Tsai made a comeback in late April with seven new works. But
does his age, 61, work as a gap between him and his young readers? Tsai doesn't think so.
     The topics he has covered range from philosophy in a time of individuality (个性) to the learning and
memorizing techniques used at school."Every child is a genius and has the potential beyond his own
imagination," he said.
     If popular Japanese manga is simply for entertainment, Tsai's work, to a large extent, is to light the
power of thinking in a light-hearted way. Tsai uses different forms of water to refer to people. In his eyes
some people are like an ocean, some are like vapor, while others may be ice or rain. But in essence they
share a similarity-human being's forever chasing for the true and the good.
     "The person who thinks over life issues is not necessarily a scholar or a philosopher," he said. "I've
devoted my whole life to thinking and individual freedom, not making a living."

1. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Tsai's work fits today's city lifestyle.
B. All of Tsai's works mainly introduce eastern philosophy.
C. Tsai's works are humorous as well as full of wisdom.
D. Tsai's works are not involved in children's study.

2. What's the word "vapor" mean in the 6th paragraph? It means _____.

A. a kind of food
B. a form of water
C. a form of solid
D. a kind of people

3. From the passage we know that _____.

A. Tsai once stopped writing his works for ten years
B. Tsai writes his works in order to make a living
C. Tsai thinks everyone should be a scholar or a philosopher
D. Tsai doesn't think there is a gap between him and his young readers

4. In the author's opinion, _____.

A. Japanese Manga is more valuable than Tsai's
B. Tsai's works are more valuable than Japanese Manga
C. Japanese Manga is as valuable as Tsai's
D. Both Japanese Manga and Tsai's works are valueless

     Announcers on China Central Television (CCTV) will need to do some fast talking to replace the
popular English acronyms (首字母缩略词) they're now forbidden to use. Shanghai Daily reports that
"anchors at China Central Television [CCTV] have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA,
CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs."
     The replacement for those handy acronyms? Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name,
standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
     Although CCTV (oops, we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at
least 94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam (普通话等级考试), saying the full name
of organizations like the CBA or WTO-10 and 6 character's long separately-is sure to challenge even the
most skillful anchors. CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily, "A full Chinese explanation
of the English acronyms must be followed if my tongue slips. It is a little trouble but a necessary one because
not every audience member can understand the acronyms."
    Although the government isn't giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have to do with
a proposal (提案) by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at March's NPC
meeting. In his speech, Huang said, "With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures
and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese. If we don't pay attention and don't take
measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese won't be a pure language in a couple
of years."
     Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages (the French and
Québécois beat them to it by a long way), acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting
a language, we would think. Good luck to the CCTV anchors.

1. CCTV anchors have to "do some fast talking" because they can no longer _____.

A. speak as slowly as they like
B. mix English into Chinese
C. use shortened Chinese expressions
D. have so much time for their program

2. When Sun Zhengping said "if my tongue slips", he meant "if I _____".

A. habitually use an English acronym
B. speak a little bit too fast
C. make a mistake in pronunciation
D. say something impolite or improper

3. What's Huang Youyi's proposal?

A. Using full English names instead of short forms.
B. Translating Chinese terms into proper English.
C. Avoiding Chinese words mixing into English.
D. Keeping our mother tongue as a pure language.

4. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. China has fallen behind in the matter.
B. The ban is not necessary.
C. Chinese shouldn't be corrupted.
D. CCTV anchors will have a hard time.
