Yesterday evening I was watching the evening news on TV. The news was about a prize for scientific discoveries. The 21 said something that caught my 22 . “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the ages of 25 and 30.” Being a little over 30 myself, I wanted to 23 with him.

Yet I wondered if those “best years” were true in other 31 .

Then how about this in 32 ? Surely it needs the wisdom of 33 to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look when these people 34 their careers.

But why don’t best years come after 30? After 30, I 36 , most people don’t want to take risks or try new ways. Then I thought of people 37 Shakespeare and Picasso. The 38 was writing wonderful 39 at the late age of 50, 40 the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was 90!

Perhaps there is still hope for me.

Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.

Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.

41. A blog is .

A. a comment

B. an Internet journal

Dear editor,

You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places:

1. Chinese characters are written in the complex (复杂的) form. Although simplified Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.

2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning

at all.

3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. "Ba"(霸), which means bully in Chinese, is one

example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with "Ba" in their names. 4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect

grammatical structures. "Ai ni mei shang liang', which means "I love you without consulting", is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.

Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an idea shared by myself and many others.

Fan Yongqian

A. something be done to make our language pure (纯正)

Now, we know that if we do not get enough vitamins, we are at risk of developing a number of diseases. As a result, vitamin supplements（补品），though expensive, are popular with people who worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many people think, medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve health or protect against disease.

In fact, medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example, too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors, as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.

Experts, however, do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent disease. People who know they lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example, may not have enough vitamin B-twelve. This is because, as people get older, their body loses its ability to take it from foods. Also, people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this vitamin from sunlight.

Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil. It also is in the yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin A. Vitamin B-twelve is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods, like fruits. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.

In fact, for most people, a balanced diet can ensure enough of the vitamins our bodies need. So, it is important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins our bodies need.

49. What is probably talked about before this passage?

A. How many vitamins a person’s body needs.

B. How many vitamins some foods contain.

C. The benefits that vitamins bring to our health.

D. What people should do to stay healthy.

50. Vitamin supplements are popular with people because ________.

A. people mistakenly think that they are good for their health

B. they contain more vitamins than the foods people eat

C. food does not provide enough vitamins people need

D. people fear that a lack of vitamins will lead to disease

51. From the passage, we can learn that medical experts advise people _________.

A. never to take any vitamin supplements

B. to depend only on food for their vitamins

C. not to take any vitamins together with medicines

D. to consult doctors before taking vitamin supplements

52. For people who lack Vitamin B-twelve, they can eat more from _______.

A. sweet potatoes

B. green leafy vegetables

C. pork products

D. eggs

D Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson River must remember the Catskill Mountain. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and the print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountain which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory(华丽的皇冠).

At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.

In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly timeworn and the weather—beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.

Rip’s great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence(勤劳), for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody’s business but his own.

If left to himself, he would have whistled(吹口哨) life away in perfect situation; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness(懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house--- the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.

53. The hero of the story is probably___________.

A. gentle, helpful but a little idle

B. idle and hates all kinds of jobs

C. simple, idle but very dutiful

D. hard-working and likes all kinds of work

54. The underlined words “henpecked husband” in the last paragraph probably means a man

who__________.

A. likes hunting

B. is afraid of hens

C. loves his wife

D. is afraid of his wife

55. What would be the best title for the text ?

A. Catskill Mountain

B. A Mountain Village

C. Rip Van Winkle

D. A Dutiful Husband
