Michael Jackson,the American pop legend,died of a cardiac arrest(心臟驟停)in a Los Angeles hospital last night, just weeks before he hoped to resurrect(復(fù)活) his four-decade long career with a series of sold-out shows in London.The pop superstar was taken to the University of California at Los Angeles medical centre last night,and doctors tried resuscitation(使蘇醒,使復(fù)活)in the ambulance.He did not regain consciousness and was reported dead about three hours later.
"My brother,the legendary King of Pop,passed away on Thursday 25 June at 2.26pm," his brother Jermaine said, "We believe he suffered a cardiac arrest at his home,however the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy(驗(yàn)尸) are known.The personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitated him."
A spokesman for the UCLA medical centre said,"When he arrived at hospital at approximately 1.14pm,a team of doctors attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour,they were unsuccessful." Police said they were investigating,which is standard procedure in such cases.
Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long decline from his peak in the 1980s when he was music's greatest all-around performer,a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV.His 1982 album Thriller, which included the blockbuster hits(賣座歌曲) Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller is still the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50m copies sold worldwide.
The world famous entertainer had planned a series of 50 concerts in London from 12 July.Although in the last two decades his reputation was destroyed by charges of child molestation(騷擾) and his fantastic public behavior, all tickets were sold within hours, proving the King of Pop had enduring appeal.
1.Where did Michael Jackson die?
A.At home in Los Angeles. B.In a Los Angeles hospital.
C.On the stage in London. D.In an ambulance to hospital.
2.What caused Michael Jackson to die according to Jermaine?
A.Heart disease.
B.It’s unknown before the results of the autopsy.
C.Working too hard.
D.His personal physician’s improper treatment.
3.Why were the police involved in investigating the death of Michael Jackson?
A.Because they believed he was murdered.
B.Because it was standard procedure in such cases.
C.Because Michael Jackson died suddenly.
D.Because his brother was suspicious of the truth of his death.
4.It can be inferred that Michael Jackson was ___________.
A.a(chǎn) King of Pop with good reputation.
B.a(chǎn) King of Pop still playing on the stage before death.
C.indeed a bad man with fantastic public behavior.
D.a(chǎn) popular King of Pop in spite of ill fame.

The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor.
As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered- to vote on Sept. 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots(選票).
To help get his name known, Sessions earned$700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.
Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbors. "They'd look at me, and say‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?'And I say‘I'm still in high school', "he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time, ”he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.
Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30p.m., I'11 be a student. From 3 to 6, I'11 be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.
“He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about this town. He's been here all his life. ”
Sessions will receive$3, 600 a year during his four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office.
1.What is TRUE of Sessions' election campaign according to the text?
A.Sessions launched his election campaign on Sept. 22.
B.Sessions worked so hard that he once tried to persuade people in a hospital.
C.Sessions won the election campaign by a very close outcome.
D.Sessions felt disappointed when asked about his age and experience.
2.In order to gain more support from the voters Sessions had to do all these things EXCEPT_.
A.put up posters' B.renew the economy
C.sell apples D.talk to neighbors in kitchens
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.American mayors usually work from 3 p. m. to 6 p. m.
B.In America, young people are encouraged to get involved in politics.
C.All teenagers are allowed to enter political elections.
D.American mayors receive a salary of 3, 600 a year during their 4-year term.
4.Which of the following would best summarize the text?
A.Schoolboy becomes American's youngest mayor.
B.How to become a teenage mayor.
C.Hard work is the ticket to success.
D.Never too young to shake the world.

Let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it appealing to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to cheat like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars(登記員) at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them "cheats"; another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people". To avoid outright(徹底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a false diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper. 41.The main idea of this passage is that ______.
42.According to the passage, "special cases" refers to cases that ______.
43.We can infer from the passage that _______.
44.This passage implies that ______.

A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer's wife and her black servant. Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism(女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)). A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation. Lessing's themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism(蘇菲教派). Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to be popular with new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001. Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing's selection. “She is one of the truly great writers -- of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.” At 87, Doris Lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature winner since the first prizes were awarded in 1901. 49. What would be the best title of the passage?
50.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
51.According to the fourth paragraph, _______.
52.The underlined word “impulse” in the 6th passage is closest in meaning to _______.
