Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he  16  his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always  17  his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree,  18  to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the  19  made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the  20  customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for  21 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 22  for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a  23  fake. When he was 24  of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 25  cost nearly 100,000, into pieces  26  hearing Glen’s words. Glen was  27  before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined  28 . For many times of entry-exit  29  he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment.

Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep  33  on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of  34 , which he would remember as the  35  of his success forever.

His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧視). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
小題1:When was Mandela arrested? 
A．In 1963B．In 1990
C．When he refused to be a chiefD．When he became the president
小題2:Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _______.     
A．winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa
B．Uniting South Africa
C．organizing a government in South Africa
D．controlling the spread of AIDS
小題3:If Nelson Mandela hadn’t fought against racial discrimination, he_______. 
A．could have been the president of South Africa
B．could still have lived a happy life
C．could have been in a difficult situation
D．would have been an excellent boxer
小題4:Which of the following statements can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela?
A．struggle is his life
B．sports make his fame
C．fight for equal rights
D．a(chǎn) great fighter against government.

When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling (運球) and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.
小題1:From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.
A．the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B．the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
C．the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
D．the author didn't know how to use a phone at that time
小題2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
B．The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
C．The days before the author went to senior high school.
D．The author's happy childhood with his teammates.
小題3:What surprised the author most at the recreation center?
A．That it was very near to his home.
B．That there was a basketball court inside the building.
C．That there was a special smell in it.
D．That there was a fast food restaurant in it.
小題4:The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.
A．it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B．it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C．it is the only way to make people stronger
D．it helps keep stomach power
小題5:What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A．To introduce some skills in playing basketball.
B．To tell us about his dream of becoming a basketball star.
C．To introduce his own experience of playing basketball.
D．To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying.

When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Rivera, the stresses (壓力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something.
Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (評論家) Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere--- in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.
Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.
Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.
As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.
小題1:What is most difficult for Jarolim?
A．Working in different places to collect information.
B．Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.
C．Finishing her work as soon as possible.
D．Passing a test to write travel guides.
小題2:What do we know about Jarolim from the text?
A．She is successful in her job.
B．She finds her life full of stresses.
C．She spends half of her time traveling.
D．She is especially interested in museums.
小題3:What would be the best title for the text?
A．Adventures in Travel WritingB．Working as a Food Critic
C．Travel Guides on the MarketD．Vacationing for a Living

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most loved children’s books of all time, and many adults enjoy it as well. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland. She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story, and art work.
The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name. His real name was Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much.
Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. It was first printed in 1866, with art work by John Tenniel, under the name Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success. One of its first fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll’s works. She was surprised to find that they included many works on math. In fact, Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician. This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.
Since the story was first printed, it has kept selling up to the present day. It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it.
小題1:The passage is mainly about _________.
A．Charles’ family life
B．the birth of a book and its lasting influences
C．a(chǎn) magical world called Wonderland
D．a(chǎn) girl’s adventurous experiences

Chinese female film stars, like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, due to the charm of their films, have set a good image for Chinese women in the world. Compared with Chinese women, the image of Chinese men is not so good in the eyes of Western women, the Shanghai Evening Post reported.
In March 2006, Zhang Jiehai, a doctorate（博士學位） holder at the Sociology Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, led a research team to investigate how Western women look at Chinese men. The survey shows that many Western women think Chinese men are mostly known for their care for the family. Chinese men, as the Western women say, are willing to spend money for women. As to their shortcomings, Western women think that Chinese men do not have good manners and that some Chinese men have the habit of spitting everywhere, keeping nails and hair long, picking their noses and ears in public places, and not cleaning their teeth thoroughly. These bad habits make many Western women think that Chinese men are unwilling to take care of their personal image.
The survey was carried out in two ways, by questionnaires and interviews. All the respondents（調(diào)查對象） agreed that Chinese men show much tender loving care for the family and that many Chinese men do know how to respect women. They open the door for women and carry their handbags for them. For some American women, the bad image of Chinese men in the world is largely because of Hollywood films. In many Hollywood films, Chinese men usually do not have a good image. But this has been changed by Hong Kong film star Chow Yun-Fat. After the Chinese film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was shown in cinemas in the United States in 2002, many Westerners began to change their impression of Chinese men.
小題1:Which statement best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Chinese female film stars enjoy as great fame as Chinese male film stars in the world.
B．Chinese male film stars do not perform well in their films in the eyes of Western women.
C．Chinese female film stars don’t like Western male film stars.
D．Chinese female film stars have set a good image for Chinese women.
小題2:Which is NOT mentioned as the shortcoming of Chinese men in Paragraph 2?
A．Spitting everywhere.
B．Speaking too loudly in public places.
C．Not cleaning their teeth thoroughly.
D．Picking their noses and ears in public places.
小題3:In some American women’s eyes, Chinese men’s images are bad because of ______.
A．Chinese female film stars
B．Chinese male film stars
C．Hollywood films
D．Film stars in Hong Kong
小題4:What does the passage mainly deal with?
A．Chinese men in the eyes of Western women.
B．Foreign film stars and Chinese film stars.
C．Chinese women in the eyes of Western men.
D．Chinese film stars in Hollywood films.
