Congratulations! You are the Time magazine "Person of the Year".

The annual honor for 2006 went to anyone that uses or creates content on the Internet. The  magazine designed special cover－a white keyboard with a mirror for a computer screen where buyers can see their reflection- for the issue, reflecting the importance of user-generated(使用者自創(chuàng)) Internet content as a driving force in the modem world.

User-generated content on websites such as YouTube has proved the latest twist(轉(zhuǎn)折) in the Internet revolution. YouTube has attracted millions of users and earned its founders $ US1.65 billion when it was bought by Google earlier this year.

Normally, the magazine describes its person of the year not necessarily as an honor, but as "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and represented what was important about the year". Mr. Stengel said in an interview that to select the "Person of the Year" is to look for someone who's a symbol.

The magazine did cite(提名) 26 "People Who Mattered," from Chinese President Hu Jintao to a group of three persons that included: U.S. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield.

It was not the first time that the magazine went away from naming an actual person for its

"Person of the Year". In 1966, the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American women were named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.

In 2005, the winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono, who were cited for their charitable(慈善的) work aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.

65. "You", the Time magazine 'Person of the Year 2006', refers to________.

      A. anyone who reads this magazine     B. anyone who surfs the Internet

      C. anyone who knows the result of the selection  D. anyone who reads the passage

66. The fashionable character of the Internet revolution is________.

      A. to search information on the Internet      B. to use the Internet to make money

      C. to be cited for "Person of the Year"       D. to create content onto the Internet

67. The usual qualification of "Person of the Year" is that a person or persons must________.

      A. do the most good to the world in the year     B. not live up to the expectation of the world     

      C. really affect the world the most in the year  D. help the world move ahead in the year

68. Which of the following is true?

      A. U.S. President Bush was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".

      B. Chinese President Hu Jintao was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".

      C. 'Person of the Year' must be a person or persons.

      D. A rock star is unlikely to be cited for the "Person of the Year".

The Norwegian government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline, production limits have been laid down, and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the government will be able to hold things back for long.

   Ever since the war, the government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this program has had a great deal of success. Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.

   The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose most of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.

72. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to _____.

  A. provide more jobs for foreign workers   B. slow down the rate of its development

  C. sell the oil it is producing abroad        D. develop more quickly than at present

73. The Norwegian Government has tried to ____.

  A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources

  B. prevent oil companies employing people from Northern Norway

  C. help the oil companies solve many of their problems

  D. keep the oil industry to something near its present size

74. According to the text, the oil industry might lead in Northern Norway to ____.

  A. the development of industry              B. a growth in population

  C. the failure of the development program      D. the development of new towns

75. In the south, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be _____.

  A. a large reduction in unemployment 

  B. a growth in the tourist industry

  C. a reduction in the number of existing industries 

  D. the development of a number of service industry.

第三部分 閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

       Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough．We get things wrong because we haven't listened carefully enough．We get things wrong because we haven't quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us．Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember—despite the benefit of notes—exactly what everyone said．But success depends on getting things right—and that means listening．

       Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively．It demands attention and concentration．It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification—it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong．However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you'll miss what the speaker is saying—probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical．And not having heard, you won't know you've missed anything until it's too late．

       The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished．We then stop listening．Even worse, this often addsrudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it．Good listeners don't interrupt, hi fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points．Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well．

       Above all, be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators．It's helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying．Equally important you should put yourself in the other person's place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response．But don't be too clever．Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing．

51．Which is the best title for this passage?

       A．Don't be too clever          B．Be a good listener

       C．Don't miss anything critical         D．Think of the speaker

52．In the last paragraph, the underlined sentence"…what they are getting at…" means ____．

       A．what they imply                 B．what they like．

       C．what they attack     -            D．what they achieve

53．According to the passage, which of the following is the writer's opinion?

       A．If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional．

       B．Speakers won't continue talking when their listeners explain what they've heard．

       C．If you don't want to get things wrong, it's important to be a good listener．

       D．It's hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence．

54．What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?

       A．Don't accuse others of not listening while talking with them．

       B．Don't get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying．

       C．Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success．

       D．Think carefully of what you're going to say before the speaker finishes．
