小題4:D
本文屬記敘文體裁，簡要敘述了 Bill Robinson的生平經(jīng)歷，分析了Bill Robinson開槍殺人的原因。
小題1:B屬細(xì)節(jié)辨認(rèn)題，短文第5句Two years later he returned home and tried to pick up where he had left off，but things were never quite the same again for the young black man．即本題答案出處他想過他以前的生活，正確答案是B。
小題2:D屬細(xì)節(jié)辨認(rèn)題，從短文第7句He could not concentrate on his studies and soon he had to leave school可得出他不能專注學(xué)業(yè)了，正確答案是D。
小題3:D屬推理判斷題。從短文第9句He wanted to meet someone nice and get married，but he just couldn't seem to get close to anyone．可知，他想結(jié)識(shí)某個(gè)漂亮的女孩子并與其結(jié)婚，但他無法與人接近，所以可推斷出，他未婚的原因是“他發(fā)現(xiàn)很難交女友”，故正確答案是D。
小題4:D屬概括主題思想題。作者在短文中主要描寫了Bill Robinson參加越南戰(zhàn)爭后的表現(xiàn)及心理變化，因此，用《一名越戰(zhàn)受害者》作為本篇短文的題目最能概括全文的主旨大意，故正確答案為D。

A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
“You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”
The man replied，“But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.”
“I’ m sorry，” said the HR manager.“If you don’t have an e-mail，that means , you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist cannot have the job.”
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he managed to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.

He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker（經(jīng)紀(jì)人）and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail.”
The broker answered curiously,“You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have managed to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?" The man thought for a while and replied,“Yes，I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”

Go and steal a lot of money from a bank next time!”
Tom thought for a few seconds and then said, “I can’t do that!” “Why can’t you?” said the older man. “Are you afraid?” “No,” said Tom, “I’m not afraid at all, but the banks are all closed at three o’clock, and my lessons don’t finish until four.”

Michael Jackson fans are coming a Chicago museum to see a 3,000 year old Egyptian statue which looks remarkably like the late king of pop. Staff have been rushed off their feet since Jackson's death as thousands of mourners visit the exhibition to pay tribute to the star.
The statue has skinny cheeks and - most strikingly - a tipless nose. It is on display at the Ancient Egypt exhibition at The Field Museum in the United States. The bust(半身像) was bought in Cairo in 1889 and has been on display at the museum for 21 years.
But its popularity has risen rapidly since Michael Jackson's death after fans started writing about the ancient statue on internet blogs. The bust was carved during the New Kingdom Period, which ran between 1550 BC to 1050 BC. This was around the same time as famous Egyptians Ramesses and King Tut.
The museum's 4,500 daily visitors are banned from touching or kissing the statue, which is protected behind a glass screen. Astonished fans stand admiring the statue and discussing its likeness with others who have travelled to see it.
Darnell Williams, the director of guest relations, said some fans were treating a visit to the museum like a pilgrimage(朝圣). He said: "The statue has been here for years but interest has been raised since Michael Jackson's death. People are coming from all over the country to see the statue and compare its likeness to the king of pop.
"They want to touch and kiss the model like it is some sort of God but it is behind a screen to protect it from damage. Once people see it they are astounded and can't stop talking about its likeness. It really is remarkable."
James Phillips, manager of near east and north African exhibits, said little was known about the origins of the model.
He said: "The likeness is astonishing but I think it is probably a coincidence. We do not believe Michael Jackson ever visited the museum or saw the exhibit and there is therefore little chance he based his image on it. We believe the model is missing a nose because early Christians or Muslims removed noses from paintings and models to make them non-human.
小題1:Many people are streaming to see the Egyptian statue to ­­­­­_______.
A．satisfy their curiosity
B．show their respect to Jackson
C．enjoy the splendid Egyptian culture
D．learn about the history of Egyptian
小題2:The underlined words “rushed off their feet” in the first paragraph mean”______”.
A．extremely busyB．rather tired
C．very annoyedD．quite surprised
小題3:The statue is rapidly getting popular mainly because of ________.
A．Jackson’s deathB．its archaeological value
C．the InternetD．its long history
小題4:It can be inferred that the exhibits at the Ancient Egypt exhibition are classified by _________.
A．a(chǎn)geB．a(chǎn)reaC．kindD．value

Susan Sontag (1933 ------ 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature.  For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything----- to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing.  When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art.  With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture.  In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous.  Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.
By conviction she was a sensualist (感覺論者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward.  In Illness as Metaphor ------published in 1978, after she suffered cancer ------ she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被壓抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease.  In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.
In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.  But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.
“Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.”  And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.
小題1:It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag _________.
A．was a symbol of American cultural life
B．developed world literature, film and art
C．published many essays about world culture
D．kept pace with the newest development of world culture
小題2:She first won her name through _________.
A．publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review
B．her story of a Polish actress
C．her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
D．her book Illness as Metaphor
小題3:From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that ________.
A．she was more of a moralist than a sensualist
B．she was more of a sensualist than a moralist
C．she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness
D．she would like to re-examine old positions
小題4:According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except _________.
A．We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art.
B．Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities.
C．‘Form’ should be over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ should be over ‘morals.
D．We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．A lifelong watchword: seriousness
B．Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture
C．How Susan Sontag became famous
D．An introduction to Susan Sontag and her watchword

HOLLYWOOD(UPI)—Loni Anderson decided last year it was time to change her career around to play moms and comedy instead of pretty young girls.

So far, most people remember her as Jennifer Marlowe, the role she played in her first film in 1982.
This summer people will see Anderson in A Night as Roxbury, a film produced and directed by Amy Heckerlin.
“In the film I have two sons. One is 26, and the other is 30. Isn’t that interesting? I know I don’t look that old, but that’s what’s so fun about it.”
“My character dresses in clothes too short, too tight. Dan Hedaya plays my husband. We’re a couple with a lot of money and no taste. Our sons are complete idiots(白癡). Their purpose in life is to get into the Rich Young Man Club where everybody is proud of his wealth.”
“As you can tell, I’m doing things I’d never have done at the beginning of my career.”
“But I am who I am. I’ve worked as an actress a long time and now I can be anything I want. It’s a great time for me. I don’t have anything to prove.”
“I hadn’t done comedy in a long time. It’s what I do best and what I like best. At this point in my life I want to look a lit­tle bit foolish. I think that would be something new for me.”
小題1:What had Loni Anderson probably played most in her past film career?
A．Pretty young girls.B．Old mothers.
C．Foolish persons.D．Rich women.
小題2:When did she begin to be an actress?
A．Last year.B．This year.C．1972.D．1982.
小題3:What was she going to change?
A．Her clothes.B．Her husband.
C．Her role type.D．Her living place.
小題4:Where does this article most likely appear?
A．Newspaper.B．Science magazine.
C．Tourist guide book.D．Historical record.
