Roberta appeared on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to1. Now she was Portia, a strong–willed2 in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The theater was filled with people. She was speaking with a power she had never before experienced, the words flowing3 form her.
4, Roberta had never acted in her life before the audition (選拔試演). She5 being in front of other people. She was very6 at school. She had never thought she was good enough at anything to7 much attention. She stayed mostly to herself, making8 friends. She had excellent grades,9 she always thought that something was missing.
Two weeks before the audition, Roberta’s mother had heard about it and10 her to join in.
“I can’t think of anyone else better suited to11 the part. Remember all the plays you used to act out for us?”
Her mother wouldn’t let the12 drop. “You’re just a little scared (害怕) .Everyone gets scared. You know you13 do it. The trick is to look past the14 to find the love of what you’re doing.’’
So Roberta had made an appointment (預約) with the head of the Drama Club. She had read the play and found herself excited by the15 of speaking such rich words. In secret she practiced Portia’s part,16 the lines by repeating them over and over. It wasn’t hard; she17 every minute of it. Every time she spoke the words, she had a new18 of the lines, as if Shakespeare had written Portia on many levels.
On the day of the audition, she19 two of Portia’s famous speeches for the auditors. When she had finished, the head of the Drama Club announced the20 was hers.

試題分析：文章講述了Roberta在母親的鼓勵下，克服膽小害羞的弱點，成功地獲得了扮演莎士比亞作品《威尼斯商人》中Portia這個角色。
1.從下文“she was speaking with a power”判斷出應選speak.
2.從文章中看出，Roberta正在扮演莎士比亞“威尼斯商人”中的角色“Portia”。下文中也提到“In secret she practiced Portia’s part”。故選character(part角色)。
3.從下文31空后Roberta “repeat the lines over and over”判斷出“臺詞流利地從她口中說出”。故選C。
4.緊接著上文“words flowing smoothly from her”,后面作者口氣一轉(zhuǎn)“事實上，在選拔試演之前她以前從來沒有表演過”。at first起初; in fact事實上；after all畢竟，到底；in all共計，總共。
5.根據(jù)下文以及她母親說的話“You are just a bit scared. Everyone gets scared”得出“由于膽小/害怕，所以不愿意在眾人面前表現(xiàn)”。
6.見20題。shy害羞的；honest誠實的；polite禮貌的；patient耐心的
7.本句意思為“她從來沒有想到她有什么擅長的地方來吸引很多注意力�！盿ttract attention吸引注意力；avoid attention避開注意；focus/pay attention 集中注意力于。
8.由于“大部分時間自己呆著，結(jié)果朋友很少”，故選few,表示“很少，不多”。
9.本句意思為“盡管她成績很優(yōu)秀，可是她總認為缺些什么.”,故選but表轉(zhuǎn)折。
10.從下文她母親說的話“你只是有點害怕。你會成功的�！笨闯�，母親是在“鼓勵”她。
11.本句意思為“我想不出別的任何人更適合扮演這個角色。”play the part扮演角色
12.本句意思為“她母親不想就此擱下這事�！�，因此選“matter”。
13.can能夠，會; must必需，一定; may可能; should應該。見25題。
14.根據(jù)上文中的“scared”,可以斷定選fear。
15.于是“她讀了這部戲，一想到要說那么多豐富的語言她就很激動�！眎dea想法；purpose目的；way方式；importance重要性
16.通過“repeating the lines over and over”來“memorizing(記住)”臺詞。
17.因為“喜歡”，才不難，故選loved.
18.本句意思為“每次讀，她都對這些臺詞有新的見解，好像莎士比亞從不同的層面寫的Portia.”。故選D.。understanding理解，見解；description描述；selection選擇；consideration考慮
19.practise練習；plan計劃；perform演出，表演；deliver移交，發(fā)表（演講，講話）。根據(jù)句意，“在試演的當天，Roberta為觀眾表演了兩段Portia的著名演講�！�，而不是“發(fā)表了Portia的著名的演講”。
20.根據(jù)句意“演完后，俱樂部的主席宣布Portia這個角色是她的了�！�，選part。

As a child, the old clock fascinated me. I4and listened to it during meals. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s ritual (老習慣). He wound (上發(fā)條) that clock with a(n)5key carefully each day. I remember watching6my grandfather took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the clock.

After my grandfather died, it was days after the funeral10I remembered the clock! The tears11freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there quiet.
Some time later, my grandmother gave me the key. The old house was12. No laughter over the dinner table, no ticking or chiming of the13— all was still. I took the key in my shaking hand and14the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a15again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and blue eyes. He was there,16at me, at the secret of the clock's magic, at the key that held so much power.
I stood there, 17in thought for a long time. Then slowly and 18I inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my19. With the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather20again.

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought1. My complaints, even self-justified(自有道理)2, were always landing on3ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their4into tears. I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to5my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain6, I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was7to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”8arriving back, the children were9excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy10for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and11asking them to play a certain violin12. Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas13.
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little14: “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in15of well-done jobs the day16.
17I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its (貼條). The bathroom mirror became the18centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be19.
We all benefited from and20the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

The Wal-Mart in Cleburne, Texas, was crowded. People were waiting in long lines at checkout counters to pay for small things that would be next-morning treasures under someone’s Christmas tree.
The woman standing in cashier Jeffrey Kandt’s line seemed to be living on the edge of subsistence（生計）. Her clothes were worn and her hands were those of a person who’d worked hard for what she had. She held a single item in her arms as she patiently waited to move to the front of the line — a Sony CD player. She had saved all year for this. With tax, the total would be close to $ 220.
As the woman got close to the cashier, she suddenly shouted, “Where’s my money? All of my money fro my son’s gift! Oh no!”
“Why my line?” Kandt thought as he watched the poor woman searching through her clothes. He was going to have to call his manager to avoid the sale but it would mean a long wait for the customers behind her. “I am going to go home late tonight,” Kandt thought.
Then an amazing thing happened. At the back of the line, a man took out his wallet, pulled out $100 and passed it forward. As the cash moved up the line, a twen5ty-dollar bill was added here, and a ten-dollar bill was added there. When the collection finally reached the registewr, Kandt counted $ 220.

The creation of a Chinese Green Card in 2004 was a milestone in the country’s immigration law. Five years on, the card is an increasingly sought-after document.                                                                                                       On August 15, 2004, the Regulations on Examination and Approval of Permanent Residence
oAliens in China created a Green Card system granting qualified foreigners the right to live in
China permanently.
Liu Lili, who works in the Exit and Entry Administration of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, has watched the Green Card system develop since its inception. She said nearly all applications received by the Bureau are approved. So far, 323 people have been granted a “Green Card” qualifying them for permanent residence in Beijing. Another 15 are awaiting final approval. It takes around 6 months to process each application.
Of the 323 Green Card holders, 94 are wives or husbands of Chinese citizens; 50 are minors dependent on their parents; 20 are senior citizens returning to live with relatives; 114 are individuals who have made outstanding contributions or are of special importance to China (another 7 are their family members); and 23 are high-level foreign personnel who hold posts in businesses (another 15 are their family members).
Liu said the authorities had been granting residence to returning senior citizens for some time before the Green Card system was formally launched .The government has approved permanent residence for over 3,000 foreigners since the implementation of the Law on Control of the Entry and Exit of Aliens which was adopted by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress in November 1985.
Four groups of people are eligible for permanent residence: high-level foreign personnel who hold posts in businesses that promote China’s economic, scientific and technological development or social progress; foreign citizens who make large  direct investments in China; persons who have made outstanding contributions or are of special importance to China; and people who come to China to be with family, such as husbands and wives, minors dependent on their parents, and senior citizens dependent on their relatives.
Liu said that most applications she dealt with were from American citizens.
Why do overseas citizens apply for permanent residence status in China? The main concern, aid Liu, is the political factor. Once people have a “Green Card”, they feel they are accepted and trusted by the Chinese government. The “Green Card” also facilitates entry and exit. With permanent residence status, visas are no longer needed and people can enter and leave the country using only a valid passport. China offers outstanding career opportunities and is seen by many as safer and more secure than many other countries, said Liu.
Liu said that Green Card holders have the same rights and responsibilities as Chinese citizens. However the card is not equivalent to Chinese nationality and holders are not allowed to vote in elections, hold political office, or serve in the military.
Obtaining a Green Card is not easy. The qualifying conditions are tough. Unless you are a close relative of a Chinese citizen，you will either have to invest a substantial amount of money in the country or make a genuinely outstanding contribution to the country’s development.
To meet increasing demand, he authorities are considering making the Green Card more available by broadening the range of applicants without lowering the requirements, aid Liu, but she gave no further details.

  1. 1.

    Which of the following can’t get a green card?

    1. A.
      A foreigner whose wife of husband is of Chinese nationality.
    2. B.
      A foreign child whose parents are Chinese citizens.
    3. C.
      A foreigner who invests large sum of money in China.
    4. D.
      A foreigner who works in China for a long time.
  2. 2.

    If a foreign gets a Green Card in China, he /she_________.

    1. A.
      has the right to vote in China.
    2. B.
      can be a high official in China
    3. C.
      can enter or leave China without a visa
    4. D.
      becomes a citizen of Chinese nationality
  3. 3.

    From the article we can see foreigners apply for Green Cards mainly to ________.

    1. A.
      show that they are important
    2. B.
      be accepted and trusted by the Chinese
    3. C.
      make entry and exit easier
    4. D.
      make more money.
  4. 4.

    Which of the following is not the reason for foreigners to work or live permanently in China?

    1. A.
      They can find satisfactory jobs.
    2. B.

About 1 million adult New Yorkers are obese(肥胖的), but nearly two-thirds of them don’t think they are, according to a study released on Tuesday by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene(衛(wèi)生).
Among the obese, who account for about one in five New Yorkers, only 39% described themselves as “very overweight”, according to the report. 2% said they were very underweight, 1% said they were slightly underweight, 16% said they were just right and 42% said they were slightly over weight.
Some 2 million more New Yorkers are overweight, the report said, and one in five children in kindergarten is obese.
Only 44% of the city’s adults are at a healthy weight, and nearly 75% say they do not participate in(參加) any regular physical activity.
New York City’s adult obesity rate was 20% in 2003 compared with 23% nationwide in 2004.The national average has nearly doubled from 12% in 1993, the report said.
Overweight and obese are defined by body mass index, or BMI (=" kg/m)" , which is based on a person’s weight , adjusted(調(diào)整) for height, the department said.
Being obese means having a BMI of 30 or greater, while being overweight means a BMI of more than 25 but less than 30.
A 5-foot, 10-inch (1.78-meter) man weighing 175 pounds(79kg) would have a BMI of 25.1 and be considered overweight according to the department . If he weighed 210 pounds (95kg), he would have a BMI of 30.1 and be obese.
The report came from results of the department’s 2002 and 2003 yearly telephone surveys of some 10,000 adults.
