閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D) 中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

                                          A 

                It was on one beautiful morning in the year 1966 when a charming and attractive man visited a Greek restaurant in London with his friends. It was like any other hangout time for him. But little did he know that his life was soon going to change.

                Sonia Maino,who was working at the same restaurant as a part-time waitress for her pocket money,soon saw him and felt an instant connection with the young and good-looking man. It was love at first sight for both. Sonia came from an ordinary background in Italy,and was studying at Cambridge at that time.

                After spending a long time on courtship(戀愛期) ，Sonia discovered that the guy of her dreams was none other than Rajiv Gandhi,son of the first political family of India. The two tied the knot in Delhi in 1968. Who would have ever thought that this love at first sight would land an ordinary girl from Italy into the Forbes list of most powerful people in the world?

                An Italian girl was not of course what India's first family,the Nehru-Gandhi family,was looking for.Rajiv's  mother,Indira Gandhi was initially unsatisfied with the marriage. But as time passed,Indira and Sonia developed an inseparable bond.

                Rajiv desired to stay away from the glare of politics and so did Sonia. Rajiv became a pilot for Indian Airlines and the couple lived a peaceful life. But destiny(命運(yùn)) had something else in store for them. Rajiv1's mother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984. Her death forced Rajiv to take over his mother's place and join politics. Rajiv ruled as Prime Minister till 1989. He was assassinated in a bomb attack in 1991.

                After Rajiv's ill-timed death,Sonia was so desperate that she decided to stay away from politics. But probably it was Rajiv's love that gave her the strength to gather herself and take over (國大黨) ，which was in a worsening condition. She led the party to victory in the 2004 and 2009 elections but refused to become Prime Minister,when the opposite party raised the question of her Italian origin.

                Their love story is one which will be remembered by generations to come.

2. A. 詞義猜測題。由第二段中的After spending a long time on courtship,Sonia discovered that the guy of her dreams was none other than Rajiv Gandhi 和第五段中的 the couple lived a peaceful life可知，tied the knot在此處指兩人結(jié)婚了。

3. B. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段中的Herdeath.

forced Rajiv to take over his mother5 s place and join politics. Rajiv ruled as Prime Minister till 1989 可知，拉吉夫在其母親被暗殺后，接替母親的職位，當(dāng)上了印度總理。

4. C. 推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段的the Congress Party,which was in a worsening condition. She led the party to victory in the 2004 and 2009 elections 可知，索尼婭擔(dān)任了國大黨的領(lǐng)袖后，國大黨的情況蒸蒸日上。

5. D. 標(biāo)題歸納題。由第一、二段及最后一段中的 Their love story is one which will be remembered by generations to come可知，文章首尾呼應(yīng)，主要講述了索尼婭與拉吉夫之間的愛情故事。

Some teachers believe that SMS is having a negative effect on young people's literacy(識字) skills They say that texting is preventing young people from wnting properly. Because texting is fast and users have to be brief,good grammar,spelling and sentence structure is forgotten. As a result,young SMS users are not able to write correct English. Other teachers,however,say that young people should be permitted to express themselves and that texting is just a modem means of communication. Teachers who want to ban it are “old-fashioned."

One educational expert commented,“Children need to learn to communicate in a range of ways.”

              A lot of teachers and lecturers refer to the story of the teenager who wrote an entire English essay in text language. Her essay started,aMy!summr hols wr CWOT. B4,we used 2go2 NY 2 C my bro. ILNY,it's a gr8 plc.” The translation of I this is,My summer holidays were a complete!waste of time. Before,we used to go to New York I to see my brother. I love New York. It's a great  place."

              ●Text language should only be used for texting? i (That's why it’s called TEXT language.) We'11 i never get a good education if we keep using text language instead of correct English.

                                       一 Jordan,16, London

              ●I think teachers should let us use text in classes. Over thousands of years our language has changed a lot. Text is a new type of language and teachers should learn it.
