4.A businesswoman,a mother of four,an international fashion icon(偶像),a woman committed to making the world a better place for women and children-Queen Rania of Jordan is truly changing the world.
         Rania was bom in Kuwait,in 1970.Shortly after Iraq invaded that country in 1990,her family fled and settled in Jordan.After graduating from a business school,Rania became successful in the business world.
         When she was just 22,she went to a dinner party that changed her life forever.It was there that she met Jordan's Prince Abdullah.Six months later,Rania and Abdullah had a royal wedding and started a family.
         After the death of her father-in-law,King Hussein,in 1999,Prince Abdullah was crowned King Abdullah II of Jordan,and Rania became the world's youngest living queen.
         In her role as Queen,Rania has become well known around the world for her charity work and her efforts to improve educational opportunities for girls.She is an outspoken advocate of women's rights,education reform,and child abuse.She is also well-known for her efforts to remove Western stereotypes (舊觀念) about the Muslim world.
         Rania explains that there is a direct relationship between increasing education and eliminating poverty."You can change the course of a nation through education,"she says."One of the most important things you can do for a girl is empower her with her education.Once she has the education she can then have control over her income,she can change her life,she can have choices."
         In the future,Rania says,she hopes for a more open and secure world."We look at problems happening halfway across the world and we think,'Well,that's their problem.'But it's not,"she says."When you solve somebody else's problem,you are solving a problem for yourself,because our world today is so interconnected."

57.D   邏輯推理題    根據(jù)第二段可知,Rania生于1970年;根據(jù)第四段"in 1999,Prince Abdullah was crowned King Abdullah II of Jordan,and Rania became the world's youngest living queen."可知,Rania于1999年成為世界上最年輕的王后;故可計(jì)算出她當(dāng)時的年齡為29歲;故選D
58.B    細(xì)節(jié)理解題    根據(jù)第五段中的"In her role as Queen,Rania has become well known around the world for her charity work and her efforts to improve educational opportunities for girls."可知,身為王后,由于Rania在慈善事業(yè)以及努力改善女童接受教育的機(jī)會方面所做出的工作,使得她全世界聞名;故選B
59.C   內(nèi)容歸納題     根據(jù)最后一段可知,Rania希望能有一個更開放和安全的世界;她認(rèn)為:當(dāng)你為別人解決問題時,你也是在為自己解決問題,因?yàn)榻裉欤覀兊氖澜缡窍嗷リP(guān)聯(lián)的;故選C
60.C    主旨大意題    通讀全文可知,本文提到了Rania的四個身份:商人;四個孩子的母親;國際時尚的代言人;一個致力于為婦女兒童創(chuàng)造一個更美好的世界的約旦王后;其中,文中重點(diǎn)講述的是Rania身為王后,在慈善事業(yè),努力改善女童接受教育的機(jī)會等方面所做出的貢獻(xiàn)以及她的政治主張;因此本文重點(diǎn)講述了她作為社會活動家的角色;故選C

15.Eddie's father used to say he'd spent so many years by the ocean,breathing seawater.Now,away from that ocean,in the hospital bed,his body began to look like a beached fish.His condition went from fair to stable and from stable to serious.Friends went from saying,"He'll be home in a day,"to"He'll be home in a week."In his father's absence,Eddie helped out at the pier (碼頭),working evenings after his taxi job.
When Eddie was a teenager,if he ever complained or seemed bored with the pier,his father would shout,"What?This isn't good enough for you?"And later,when he'd suggested Eddie take a job there after high school,Eddie almost laughed,and his father again said,"What?This isn't enough good for you?"And before Eddie went to the war,when he'd talked of marrying Marguerite and becoming an engineer,his father said,"What?This isn't enough good for you?"
And now,regardless of all that,here he was,at the pier,doing his father's labor.
Parents rarely let go of their children,so children let go of them.They move on.They move away.It is not until much later,as the heart weakens,that children understand:their stories,and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers,stones and stones,beneath the waters of their lives.
Finally,one night,at his mother's urging,Eddie visited the hospital.He entered the room slowly.His father,who for years had refused to speak to Eddie,now lacked the strength to even try.
"Don't sweat it,kid,"the other workers told him."Your old man will pull through.He is the toughest man we've seen."
When the news came that his father had died,Eddie felt the emptiest kind of anger,the kind that circled in its cage.
In the weeks that followed,Eddie's mother lived in a confused state.She spoke to her husband as if he were still there.She yelled at him to turn down the radio.She cooked enough food for two.One night,when Eddie offered to help with the dishes,she said,"Your father will put them away."Eddie put a hand on her shoulder."Mom,"he said,softly,"Dad's gone."
"Gone where?"

56.In paragraph 4,the writer indicates thatC.
A.children like moving away from their parents
B.children often feel regretful because they leave their parents
C.children wouldn't have achieved so much without their parents'support
D.children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to them
57.The underlined sentence probably means"B".
A.Don't give up           B.Don't worry about it
C.Don't let him down      D.Don't touch it
58.Which of the following shows the right order of the story?D
a.Eddie's father died.b.Eddie worked as a taxi driver.
c.Eddie married Marguerite.d.Eddie was bored with his father's job.
