　　Canadian millionairess Belinda Stronach lost her bid for the Conservative Party leadership on Saturday．

　　Economist Stephen Harper was chosen to lead the newly-merged right-wing party and will face off against Prime Minister Paul Martin's liberals in the national election in a few weeks' time．He got 50 percent support, easily defeating Stronach and former Ontario cabinet minister Tony Clement．

　　But for the 37-year-old Stronach, heiress to the car parts giant Magna International, this is a beginning rather than an end．Despite being a new comer to politics, she drew much attention during the campaign．

　　In 2002, Stronach was rated one of the world's most powerful women by Fortunemagazine with US ＄600 million to her name．At the time she was president and CEO of Magna International, the world's seventh biggest auto parts manufactures, which was founded by her father．

　　Stronach first joined the company board aged 23．In 1990, she married Don Walker, her father's former assistant, and the pair became Magna's power couple, with Walker rising to the rank of CEO in 1994．They had a son and daughter, now 12 and 10, before splitting in 1995．

　　Stronach has since married and divorced Johann Olav Koss, the Norwegian Olympic speed skater, and most recently was seen on the arm of former US president Bill Clinton providing tabloid gossip from Los Angeles to Frankfurt．Admirers describe Stronach as a younger, prettier version of Hillary Clinton．

　　Stronach replaced Walker as CEO in 2001 and became president of the company the following year．She resigned from both posts in January in order to compete for the leadership of the Conservative Party．

　　Stomach's defeat came despite spending millions of dollars on consultants and political advisers．But she says she will run for a seat in Parliament, ruling out both a return to Magna and a holiday．

(1)

How many people tried to win the bid for the Conservative Party leadership?

[　　]

A．

B．

Two．

C．

Three．

D．

(2)

D．

which was out of her expectation

(3)

Stronach can't be said to be ________．

[　　]

A．

wealthy

B．

well-known

C．

talented

D．

tiresome

(4)

Paragraphs 5 and 6 mainly tell us ________．

[　　]

A．

Stronach has had an unhappy marriage

B．

the media has been paying attention to Stronach

C．

Stomach's personal life

D．

Stronach is making an effort to get married

(5)

Which of the following mentioned about Walker is NOT true?

[　　]

A．

He was a former husband of Stronach．

B．

He made contributions to the development of Magna．

C．

He was dissatisfied to work in Magna after his divorce．

D．

He once worked as CEO of Magna．

答案：1．C;2．C;3．D;4．C;5．C;
解析：

(1)

由第二段可知Economist Stephen Harper在競爭the Conservative Party領導權時，擊敗了Stronach與Tony Clement。

(2)

由最后一段“But she says she will run for a seat in Parliament”可知，盡管Stronach在競選中失敗，但是她還要在議會中爭得一席之地。

(3)

文中提到她是一位百萬富翁，可知她有錢；2002年被財富雜志評為最具有影響力的婦女之一，在試圖從政開始就引起了人們的關注，所以說明其著名；2001年成為CEO，且成為其公司的董事長，可知其有才華。

(4)

這兩段主要闡述了其婚姻狀況，以及其最近與克林頓的來往，所以可知這兩段說的是“其私生活”。

(5)

由文章可知，Walking與Stronach已經離婚，Walking在1994年當過CEO；文中提到the pair became Magna's power couple，可知C項文中沒有提到。

閱讀下列短文, 從所給的四個選項中, 選出最佳答案。

    A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used same weights and measures. The standards(標準)of those weights and measures were found by the Romans, who kept these standards in a temple in Rome. All standards for measuring weight or distance were the same, whether in Spain or in Syria. But then the　　 Rome Empire fell, and these standards disappeared. Today, standards are different from place to place throughout the world.

    Tourists who drive from the United States into Canada, for example, are surprised when they buy gas for their cars.

    A gallon (加侖) of gas cost more than they are used to paying.They complain (抱怨) that prices are much higher in Canada than in the United States. Then they discover that they can drive farther on a Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon.

    Is it a different kind of gas? No, it is a different kind of gallon. Canada used the British gallon that is about one-fifth larger than the United States gallon.　　 Four quarts (夸脫) equal a gallon and two pints (品脫) equal a　　 quart in both countries. But Canada's quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States. The gallon equals 277.42 cubic (立方) inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to　　 231 cubic inches. Measured in ounces (盎司), Canada's larger gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds no more than 128 fluid ounces.From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive　　 farther on the Canadian gallon than on the American gallon.

    Some day, countries may follow the example of the ancient Romans and make weights and measures the same for every nation.

   (1) The whole passage tells about __________.　　　　   ［　�。� 　　   A. the standards for weights and measures found by Romans 　　   B. the gallon in Canada and the United States 　　   C. surprised tourists in Canada 　　   D. the larger American gallon    (2) The British gallon is about __________ larger than the United 　　   States gallon.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ［　　］ 　　   A. 277.42 cubic inches　　 B. 160 fluid ounces 　　   C. 128 fluid ounces　　　　D. 1/5    (3) Which statement does the passage lead you to believe? 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   ［　�。� 　　   A. It would be good to use the same measure in the whole world. 　　   B. The Americans hate the Canada gas. 　　   C. The Canadian gas is better than the United States'. 　　   D. Buying gas in Canada is more expensive than in the United 　　　　  States. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  

   (4) Six United States' gallons of liquid is about _________

British  gallons of liquid.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   ［　　］

　　   A. seven　　B. four 　　   C. five　　 D. three 　　  

   (5)After reading this passage, you can have an impression that 　　   __________ .　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　�。邸　。� 　　   A. different measures can be a problem 　　   B. people like different measures 　　   C. there are all kinds of measures in the world 　　   D. Americans should not travel too much
