4.In April 2007,a 16-year-old boy named Charlie McDonnell turned on his laptop computer.He found a website called YouTube and watched a video of another teenager like him.Thinking that he could do better,Charlie made his first video and posted it on YouTube.
YouTube started in 2005and is now the world's largest video website.More than 3billion videos are watched every day on YouTube.These are simply videos of people talking to a camera about their lives or things that interest them.
Two days after Charlie posted his first video,he had 150visitors,so he decided to make more videos.Soon he became quite popular.A few months later,Oprah Winfrey,the famous American TV hostess,showed one of his videos called How to be English on her programme.In this video,Charlie wears a suit and tie and talks in a funny accent.He shows viewers how to make a cup of tea.Charlie suddenly became very famous in the United States,too.
In January 2008,Charlie had 25,000visitors.He realized he could use his fame to help other people.On his 18th birthday he raised£5,000for charity by shaving all his hair off live on TV.In 2010he raised more than four times as much.
With more than one and a half million visitors,Charlie becomes the most popular video blogger in the UK.What is the secret of his success?"I just make the kind of videos that I want to watch,"he says.And when asked how fame has affected him,Charlie says,"I still sit in my bedroom talking to my camera,and that's what I want to do."His honesty and modesty are perhaps the main reasons why Charlie is so well liked.

56.When was YouTube founded?D
A.In 2010.  B.In 2008.  C.In 2007.  D.In 2005.

15.Two graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate,yet with loans (貸款) to pay off.The pair decided to begin a strange,year-long project to battle their debt.
The men,Ross Harper and Ed Moyse,set up the site BuyMyFace.co.uk.last October as a way to get rid of the 80,000they shared as student loans.The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year.Each day,they advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand's logo (商標(biāo)) or name on their faces and including a link to the company's site.After they paint their faces and publish them on the site,Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to maximize their faces'exposure.At this time,Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they're more than halfway to their goal.Though they first started charging a minimum of about USD   1.60 per company,the prices have risen as their popularity increased.For advertising space during the remainder of April,they range between USD   250 and   750.
Terri L.Rittenburg,associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming,said she had heard of people tattooing (紋身) logos on themselves before,but this idea is much better.According to her,at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention,but she is unsure how long it would last.
At least for now,companies that have bought Harper and Moyse's faces have written positive comments on the pair's website."We had a three percent increase in website traffic (流量) on the very day and for two days more afterwards,"said an alcoholic beverage company.
71.Which of the following was most possibly taken from the website BuyMyFace.co.uk.?D

72.At BuyMyFace.co.uk,you canAof the company being advertised for.
A.click to enter the website               B.download product pictures
C.get in touch with the staff              D.read a brief introduction
73.Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas toC.
A.have fun       B.make friends       C.show their faces  D.find new customers

A.must have earned more than $40,000      
B.a(chǎn)ren't getting on well with their project
C.may close their site next month         
D.a(chǎn)lways work hard except on holidays
75.The men's idea of advertising has proved to work becauseC.
A.many people visit their website          B.their faces have become well-known
C.their customers get more attention       D.a(chǎn)n expert has highly praised them.

19.Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress,the head of the world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind.
Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York.The company is now being investigated.Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled.The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses.
Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits.A new hearing will be conducted.And the cost to Toyota's reputation is only now starting.
Despite back-to-back hearings this  week,left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden,unintended accelerations will be fixed.
Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock,but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems.
Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference(油門踏板故障)or sticky gas pedals(剎車).Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.
House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda,the grandson of the company's founder.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyota's recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults.NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model.
Toyota has recalled 8.5million cars,more than 6million of them in the United States.
It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars.
Toyota's January sales already fell 16percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year's bad results.Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales,due out next week,to be down 30percent to 40.Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that.
It will take some time to feel the full effect of this,he said.

66.The best title for this passage isA.
A.Toyota is in trouble    B.Toyota is under hearing
C.Toyota is finished      D.Toyota is still running
67.What is the purpose of the hearing?D
A.America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers.
B.America wants to get Toyota out of the US market.
C.America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty.
D.America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem.
68.What can we infer from the passage?B
A.Toyota provides very good post sale service.
B.Toyota's biggest market is in the United States.
C.Toyota will be closed soon.
D.Toyota's dealership in the US will all be closed.
69.Why does Toyota recall cars and offer customers money back for rental cars and other expenses?A
A.It tries to avoid the maximum damages to the company.
B.It is big company and has means to fix every problem.
C.It's part of post servie.
D.It's a way to compete in auto market.
70.The last sentence of this passage indicatesB.
A.Analyst Koji Endo is fully confident about Toyota
B.Toyota could meet a worse situation
C.Toyota would get out of trouble sooner or later
D.Toyota would build up a better reputation among its customers.

9.NEW YORK-Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes,or a couple of hours if they head for the woods.Dave Murbach needs 11months.
Almost every day of every year,Murbach's thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyone's breath away.
Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattan's Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
"I'm always looking for a tree,"the center's chief gardener says."I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer.It's like a homework assignment hanging over your head."
And if he gets it wrong,there's nothing hiding it.
"Every day it's up,400,000people go by,and 2.5million people watch the lighting celebration on television,"he says.
This year's tree,a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield,Ohio,flown to New York on the world's largest cargo plane,was lighted on December 2.
The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York-a tradition dating back to 1931,when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (裝飾品).
The search for the next year's tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs.
Murbach has three standards:The tree must be at least 65feet high,at least 35feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through.
That's not as simple as it sounds.Though forests are full of evergreens,few get enough sunlight or space to fill out.And branches in snow regions often break under the weight,making trees unbalanced.
Back at the office,he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees,many addressed simply to"Mr.Christmas Tree Man."
Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night,Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people:"It's for bringing people together,attempting to bring together people you love.That's what I hope it sets off."But Murbach says he's always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.

41.Which is the correct order of the events in the passage?D
a.Murbach's thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree.
b.2.5million people watch the Christmas tree.
c.The tree is flown to New York.
d.It was lighted on December 2.
e.The tree is chopped up.
f.Murbach searches for the tree.
A.a(chǎn),b,c,d,e,f           B.c,d,b,f,e,a
C.c,d,e,b,a,f           D.a(chǎn),f,c,d,b,e
42.Murbach spends a lot of timeB that are exhibited in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
A.taking care of Christmas trees
B.deciding on the perfect evergreens
C.sorting the letters from people
D.deciding the TV programs
43.Why does Murbach take his job seriously?A
A.Because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice.
B.Because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe.
C.Because he enjoys showing off.
D.Because he wishes to attract people's attention to himself.
44.According to Murbach's standard of trees,the best tree mustD.
A.be evergreen
B.have lots of space between their branches
C.be tall enough not to see through
D.be equally balanced
45.What kind of person do you think Murbach is?C
A.A person always ignoring his family.
B.A person full of love.
C.A person devoted to his work.
D.A person with great anxiety.

16.It is easy to find your way about in New York.It is laid out so regularly.Instead of streets winding and twisting (迂回) as they do in London,they are all regular and well planned.The streets running north and south are called"avenues"and are numbered,e.g.1st Avenue,2nd Avenue,etc.The streets going east and west are called"streets"and are also numbered,e.g.51st Street,63rd Street.It is all much more logical (合理的) than London's street names.But I couldn't help thinking how much more interesting than these dull cold numbers are London's illogical but colorful names of streets,e.g."Bishopgate"(which is not a gate and hasn't a Bishop in it);"Haymarket"or"Corn market"(where you won't see any hey or corn) or"Poultry"(without a living chicken anywhere in sight) or"Thread needle Street"(where you won't find little girls learning to sew).
