5.London will stage its biggest political funeral in almost half a century on Wednesday when Britain's governing elite join the Queen and global leaders to bid farewell to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,better known as the"Iron Lady".
In an event comparable to that of Winston Churchill's funeral in 1965,Thatcher's coffin will be carried on a horse-drawn gun carriage through streets lined with admirers from parliament to the city's most famous cathedral.
The bells of London's symbolic Big Ben clock tower will fall silent for the first time since Churchill's funeral and more than 700 men and women from Britain's armed forces will honor a woman who led them to victory in the 1982 Falklands War as foreign politicians from around 170 nations look on.
Surveys have shown that many are unhappy that the estimated l0-million($15 million) pound bill for the funeral is being picked up by the taxpayer,while some left-wing lawmakers say the luxurious funeral is too expensive.
But her admirers,of whom there are many in her party and in southern England,argue that her historical profile deserves such a funeral.She was the country's first and only woman premier,was Britain's longest-serving prime minister of the 20th century,and won three general elections.
More than 2,300 mourners will attend including 11 serving prime ministers from around the world,the British government's entire cabinet,two heads of state and 17 foreign ministers.
But there will be notable absences.Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is too ill to attend and Nancy Reagan,the widow of Thatcher's great U.S.a(chǎn)lly Ronald Reagan,is also unable to come.
Thatcher struck up a close relationship with Reagan during the Cold War,backed the first President George Bush during the 1991 Gulf War,and was among the first to discover that Gorbachev was a man she could"do business with".
Covered in the red,white and blue British flag,Thatcher's coffin lay overnight in a 13th-century church in Britain's parliament,a forum she dominated for years.
72.From the passage we know that Big Ben clock tower will fall silent toB.
A.get repaired for the first time
B.honour the passing away of the great woman
C.tell the specific time to the public
D.welcome the officials from all over the world
73.Who that are still alive will be absent from the funeral?A
A.Mikhail Gorbachev and Nancy Reagan.
B.Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan.
C.Nancy Reagan and Ronald Reagan.
D.George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev.
74.From the passage we can learn that Margaret Thatcher wasA.
A.strong and smart                                 
B.weak and disappointing
C.a(chǎn)ggressive and warlike                        
D.stubborn and luxurious
75.Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?D
A.The legend of Thatcher,the"Iron Lady".
B.Why Big Ben falls silent for the first time?
C.Who will pay for such a luxurious funeral?
D.London will witness its biggest political funeral.

6.In the age of reality television,success isn't the only way to the public eye.Failure can also create fame,just like William Hung,21,a native of Hong Kong.
Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network.They'll publish a record,titled"The True Idol"on April 6.
The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley.He did a version of Ricky Martin's"She Bangs"on the television show"American Idol 3",on January 27.The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people.In the case of Hung,however,his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act.
Hung's response?"I already did my best,so I have no regrets at all."That's good,because any common person would have found plenty to regret:the off-key singing,the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high,the terrible dancing and the hips jerking(搖擺)to a beat that did not belong to the song,maybe not even to this planet.It was,by all accounts,bad.
However,it was this very bad act that sold well.
Mare Juris,president of Fuse,explained it this way:"Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom,completely off-key and completely unworried.That's what William did and immediately won the hearts of America."
Whatever  it is,for the moment it's big.Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks.Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno-music and have made it to the top 10request list at a Chicago radio station.
So,what does Hung think of this?
"There were all these people saying things about me.A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show,but some didn't have much respect for me and some were kind of mean."
Now he says he's not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour(魅力) or to accept it.Returning to normal hasn't been easy.

67.What is the main idea of this passage?C
A.Something an idol behaves quite foolishly.
B.Hung's performance attracted the public eye
C.How an unsuccessful person became famous
D.Success sometimes does not require hard work.
68.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 7refer to?B
A.William Hung           B.Hung's bad act.
C.Hung's website        D.The public's opinion
69.Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung?A
a.The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung
b.The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest
c.Hung became popular among Americans
d.Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best
e.Three websites put Hung's funny performance on the Internet.
A.d,b,e,c,a           B.a(chǎn),c,d,b,e
C.a(chǎn),d,b,c,e           D.d,b,a,e,c
70.Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?D
A.His success was based on his own hard work.
B.He attracted people's attention in the contest
C.He was good-looking though he didn't sing well.
D.His character was completely different from other idols'

3.Some people worry about being the target of laughter.These people are frightened.They suffer from an emotional disorder called gelotophobia.That long name comes from the Greek language.The word Gelos means laugh,while phobos means fear.
Victor Rubio is an expert on human behavior at the Autonomous University of Madrid.He says people laugh at others for many different reasons.He says being laughed at causes a fear response in the victim.That fear leads the victim to avoid social situations.Sadly,gelotophobia limits the way they lead their lives.
Victor Rubio was among researchers in a huge international study about laughter.The researchers wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia.Another goal was to measure the fear of being laughed at within different cultures.
A team from the University of Zurich led ninety-three researchers from many countries in search of answers
The researchers surveyed more than twenty-two thousand people.They used questions provided in forty-two languages.Their findings were reported in the scientific publication Humor.
Some of the people questioned said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations.But they hid their feelings.Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before.People also admitted to differing levels of fear that they themselves were the targets of other people's laughter.The researchers measured and compared all these reactions.
Fear of being laughed at,being made fun of,is a common emotion.But the researchers learned that these feelings differed from nation to nation.
For example,the study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia are likely to hide insecure (不安) feelings when they are around others'laughter.But people in Iraq,Egypt and Jordan who feel they have been victims before may avoid such situations
People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them.Only eight and a half percent of Finns said they would-compared to eighty percent of those questioned in Thailand.

64.The passage is mainly aboutD
A.a(chǎn) common emotion   B.laughter
C.shyness            D.gelotophobia
65.In which country are people most likely to avoid social situations where they have been laughed at before?B
A.Turkmenistan      B.Iraq 
C.Finland           D.Thailand
66.According to the text the following is true EXCEPT thatA
A.people suffer from gelotophobia because they are shy
B.not all the people questioned hid their feelings in social situations
C.perhaps Humor is a magazine
D.people in Finland are the least likely to suffer from gelotophobia
67.A person who suffers from gelotophobia will probablyD
A.be active in social activities
B.be easily laughed at
C.like to laugh at others
D.like to stay alone.

10.Among all the fast growing science and technology,the research of human genes,or biological engineering as people call it,is drawing more and more attention now.Sometimes it's a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with,such as cancer and heart disease.Every year,millions of people are murdered by these two killers.And to date,doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied,not only these two diseases can be cured completely,bringing happiness and more living days to the patients,but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved,therefore it benefits the economy as well.In addition,human life span(壽命)can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children.Some families,with the English imperial(皇帝的)family being a good example,have hereditary(遺傳的)diseases.This means their children will for sure have the family disease,which is a great trouble for these families.In the past,doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases.But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it,and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture(生產(chǎn))human beings in large quantities.In the past few years,scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned.But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities,for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way.Of course,the governments must take care to control gene technology.

60.What does"these two killers"in the second paragraph refer to?C
A.Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B.The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.
C.The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.
D.Hereditary diseases and cancer.
61.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?C
A.Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.
B.Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C.How gene technology can be used to treat hereditary diseases.
D.Gene technology can solve all the problems of the English imperial family.
62.In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?B
A.Gene technology helps people with hereditary diseases to live longer.
B.Using gene technology,scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.
C.Using gene technology,human babies can be cloned.
D.Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
63.What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A
A.Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people.
B.Telling people the advantages and disadvantages of gene technology.
C.Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.
D.Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.
