第四部分：阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） A
China is having such a huge influence on the United States that many Americans are struggling to learn the Chinese language in a bid to keep competitive. “Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown quickly in the past five years,” said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society. China’s quick rise to near-superpower and its effects politically, economically and culturally are driving the American’s interest to learn the language, experts say. From kindergartens to high schools, studies by the Asia Society show, there is a “rapid rise” in interest among pupils to study the Chinese language.“The Chinese rich cultural traditions and blossoming economy mean that it is now important for all of our students to be better prepared,” said Michael Levine, Asia Society's executive director of education. A survey found that 2,400 high schools -- an unbelievably high number -- would be interested in offering the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2006.
China, the world’s most populous nation, is important to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer(消费者) and investor. Its political influence is also rising across the world. It has replaced the United States as the world’s largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, after the United States, in the next two to three decades.
Even though the US State Department has described the Chinese language “critical” to national prosperity and security, “the current facilities to support recruitment(招募) of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs is terribly not enough,” an Asia Society study says. The Society has set an aim of having at least five percent of American high school students learning Chinese by 2015.
“Millions of Chinese are learning English, but only 24,000 Americans are learning Chinese,” said Andrew Corcoran of the San Francisco-based Chinese American International School. The most popular languages after English in US schools at present are Spanish and French while Japanese is the most popular Asian language. 56．The underlined word blossoming (Para. 2) means ______. A．weak B．old C．developing D．developed 57．Why do more and more Americans begin to learn the Chinese language? A．To be a bridge between the two big countries. B．To keep competitive.
C．Because they are always interested in it. D．To gain advantage in trade.
58．What problems is the US faced with when it comes to learning Chinese? A．A lack in current facilities to support recruitment of students and teachers and programs.
B．Not many people want to learn foreign languages. C．The language is rather difficult compared with English. D．Too many Chinese are learning English. 59．What is the best title for this passage? A．Foreign Language Learning B．Danger from China
C．The Chinese Language gets More Popular D．Difficulties in Learning the Chinese Language.
60．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The Chinese language is the most popular Asian language in US schools. B．The US government is worried because more and more Americans learn the Chinese language.
C．China is the second largest economy in the world. D．China is the largest consumer in the world. B
What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
\"We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work,\" said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company. Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds. With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management. They also asked some local businessmen to act as their consultants.
\"They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job,\" said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies. So she established a system to evaluate every one's performance, in terms of punctuality, efficiency, 61. At a campus auction a week ago, they ________ .
A. sold 28 green plants with different flowers. B. sold 28 seeds pasted with different pictures.
C. sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds. D. sold 28 flowers pasted with different pictures.
62. What is the purpose of opening the company?
A. To earn money for their education fees. B. To spread love and culture with seeds.
C. To see whether they can open a company. D. To collect money to open a Hope School. 63. What does the word \"it\" (in the last paragraph) refer to? A. Selling seeds. B. To have a person as CEO.
C. Every colleague's performance. D. To make her colleagues work efficiently. 64. According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations? A. Communication skills and teamwork. B. Creative and critical thinking. C. Educational background. D. Business theories. 65. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The company is owned by 8 students. B. The company is over-night successful. C. The company gets a lot of help from others. D. The company sells old books and fresh flowers.

knowledge and so on. \"It makes the company more formal,\" she said.

On the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”
He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said. It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.
But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”
One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?” He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”
“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”
“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.” “I want to buy my mother a house.”
“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away. “Mr Washington?” “What do you want now?”
“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.” School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.
Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?”
“Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?” “Yes, sir, I was.”
66. What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have
to become your reality”?
A. You needn’t have the same opinion as others. B. You should believe what other people say.
C. What other people say about you may not be correct. D. The doctor made a mistake.
67. How many years did it take the author to finish the tenth grade?
A. Ten years. B. Eleven years. C. Twelve years. D. Thirteen years. 68. What happened to the author at last?
A. He entered a good university. B. He earned much honor. C. He got a good job. D. He made television programs. 69. In the passage, the author implies that _________.
A. people shouldn’t believe what doctors say
B. no one can be successful with hard work and confidence C. no one is really educable mentally retarded D. a good teacher can change a student’s life
70. The best title for the passage would be “__________”.
A. Don’t believe others B. I succeeded at last C. My best teacher D. I am the one D
Bedazzling (眼花缭乱) with their bright colors and eye-catching displays, fireworks light up our night skies during the holidays. However, these crowd-pleasers can have some damaging side effects.
Once a firework is set off, it only takes a couple of seconds before smoke, dust and harmful chemicals are let out into the atmosphere. The loud booming noises are caused by gunpowder. While the sounds may excite some people, they can be frightening to domestic and wild animals—as well as some humans.
The pretty colors you see are a result of more chemicals. Barium, added to make green, is known for its poisonous and radioactive qualities. Blue comes from copper compounds. Cadmium, lithium and lead—all found in fireworks—have been linked to diseases, such as allergies and skin rashes in both humans and animals. Acid rain has been linked to gases given off by fireworks, which sometimes go beyond the toxin(毒素) limits of the United States Clean Air Act.
Once all those chemicals come back down to the ground, they can cause problems too. Debris (碎片) from the fireworks falls to the ground, where animals can burn their paws or noses on piping hot pieces. Humans also are at risk of stepping on or picking up something sharp or hot. Meanwhile, debris that finds its way into
waterways can damage animal habitats and water supply sources.
Instead of setting off fireworks, try to come up with some new ways for fun. Here are some ideas to get you started:
• Sky lanterns—a tradition that originated long ago in the most-populated Asian country.
• Party crackers—a favorite in the United Kingdom—give you noise and surprises without the mess of fireworks. You can make your own or buy eco-friendly crackers.
• Want noise excitement with less volume? Consider a fireworks sound recording beforehand or break out the party horns (号角) and blow up a storm! 71. The advantages of fireworks can be seen below EXCEPT that _____. A. the special sounds of fireworks excite people
B. debris from fireworks can even find its way into water
C. the pretty and bright colors add to the beauty of night skies D. fireworks are enjoyed as one of the crowd-pleasers 72. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Copper compounds are needed to make green in fireworks. B. Chemicals in fireworks are both poisonous and dangerous. C. Too much gases from fireworks can result in acid rain.
D. Chemicals in fireworks are harmful in the air and on the ground. 73. All the italicized (斜体的) words are probably ____. A. mineral materials C. chemical elements
B. tiny solids D. broken pieces
74. What is implied from the passage?
A. Gunpowder in fireworks makes loud booming noises.
B. It must be Indians who first started to hang sky lanterns. C. Fireworks does less harm in the air than on the ground. D. Fireworks can even break the balance of nature.
75. What can be concluded as the writer’s attitude towards fireworks? A. It is not allowed to set off fireworks except during the holidays. B. Fireworks should be banned and replaced by some other means.
C. Night is the best time to set off fireworks and see the pretty colors. D. You cannot set off fireworks unless you come up with new ways.
