26、an-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the worlds most powerful celebrity（名人）, according to Forbes（福布斯） magazine. It placed Winfrey at the top of its annual ranking of the 100 people with the biggest pull（影响力）. Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States. Her talk show re
27、aches 112 countries. She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches. The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnings. But it also looks at the celebritys presence on the Internet and in the media. “After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules t
28、he airwaves,” the magazine said. Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. She can always attract the superstars and let them open up to her intimate interviewing style. Winfreys approach appears to be simple. She is in a pursuit（追求）of self-improvement and self-emp
29、owerment. This has proved to be just what people, especially women, want. Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show. That pulls in viewers. For example, she made it known that she had been sexually abused as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight. Her success
30、 has not just been on the screen. Her media group includes a womens TV network and websites for women. Her work has extended to social change. In 1991, she did a lot of work for the National Child Protection Act. She testified before the US Senate to establish a national database (数据库) of dangerous
31、child abusers. The then President Bill Clinton later singed the “Oprah Bill” into law.56. The annual Forbes list selects its celebrities according to _. A. their names B. their annual earningsC. their presence on the Internet and in the mediaD. their annual earnings and presence in the public. 57. W
32、hich of the following statements is WRONG?A. Oprah Winfrey was the first of the 100 celebrities according to Forbes magazine. B. Oprahs success has been only on the screen. C.

34、ey - the No 1 Celebrity C. Forbes Ranking ListD. The Oprah Winfrey Show BAmerican researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the bodys defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells
35、 called T4 lymphocytes (淋巴细胞). The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes. Then it forces its way inside. There it directs the cells genetic material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from connecting to T4 cells. Wh
36、en AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use genetic engin
37、eering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times; the AIDS virus must go to it.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so a lot more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real
38、CD4 protein on T4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to cloned protein just as effectively as it connects to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning to be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans
39、 within a year.60. The new technique can _.A. cure AIDS B. kill the AIDS virusC. prevent the AIDS virus from spreadingD. produce new anti-AIDS cells61. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by _.A. itself B. the blood cellsC. the CD4 proteinD. the genetic material of T4 lymphocytes6
40、2. The AIDS virus connects to cloned protein instead of the real CD4 protein because _.A. cloned protein stays on the T4 cellsB. cloned protein floats freely, and many more can be put into the bloodC. it connects to cloned protein more effectively D. cloned protein is made by genetic engineering met
41、hods63. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The new technique has been tested in labs.B. The new technique is being tested in animals.C. The new technique may be tested in humans.D. The new technique is now under clinic test.64. The best title for this passage is_.A. AIDS-a deadly disea
42、seB. A new technique in fighting AIDSC. The spread of AIDS virusD. The cloned CD4 proteinCFrom the Jilin chemical plant blast and Songhua River pollution to the Jiangxi earthquake, people seem to be facing a growing number of environmental threats. What lessons can we learn from such disasters? How
43、can emergency and crisis（危机） situations be managed to control their impact? Crisis management experts say government, companies and the public should do the following: 1) Be upfront, honest and trustworthy. You must provide full disclosure and give all the facts in a language people can understand.
44、Now is not the time to hide something. In the Songhua River case, people in Harbin were told nothing concrete about the cause of the water cut off. This encouraged misunderstandings and fear. 2) Act fast. Be ready to tell all you know and answer all questions as quickly as possible to maintain contr
45、ol over information during a crisis. Explain that you are co-operating with all related parties and that you are disclosing related records.3) Empathize. Show your care. Dont be robotic（机械的）or stiff. 4) Control rumours (谣言). Various rumours can quickly escalate to crises. Even at minimum, they are d
46、amaging and distracting. A good job was done to stop the spread of a rumour about a possible earthquake in Harbin after the Songhua River pollution. 5) Explain how the problem will be solved. People need to know what will be done to deal with the situation. 6) Prepare for the consequences. For insta
47、nce, after a chemical plant blast, officials should check whether any poisonous gases were produced. After an earthquake, check whether buildings need proper repairs. When a disaster hits a coastal area, pay attention to the possible tsunami danger. 7) Plan how to avoid repeating problems. To avoid
48、losing credibility（信任）, plans must clearly show a learning process and improvements. 8) Undertake “How to Stay Out of Trouble and What to Do When You Dont” crisis management training. Its much better to avoid a crisis than to deal with it.65In the Songhua River pollution case, people in Harbin were
49、told _ .A. about the cause of water pollution and didnt fear B. that nothing serious about the water and they didnt fear C. nothing in detail about the water cut off, but they understood it and didnt fearD. nothing in detail about the water pollution, which caused misunderstanding and panic66The und
50、erlined word “escalate” in the sentence means _.A. find a way out B. become more serious C. become smaller D. calm down67The main idea the writer tries to convey is that _ .A. transparent measures in crises are important and necessaryB. honesty and quick actions should be encouraged when people face
51、 a disaster C. how the Songhua River pollution was dealt withD. a series of disasters caused great damageDIt was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despit
52、e the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; Why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? Id over
53、take (追上) her later on when she was tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runn
54、er. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You dont chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy simply was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she was tired, so I didnt give up hope completely. We were gett
55、ing nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away - first five y
56、ards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and wom
57、en runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.68. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning? A. It would be hard work. B. It would be an easy race. C. It would be a test of his strength. D. It would be a good learn
58、ing experience.69. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner? A. Peggy overtook the young runner. B. Peggy was running energetically. C. Peggy was laughing at the writer. D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.70. By saying “a long, punishing hill” (paragraph 5), the writer impli
59、es that _. A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop B. men are more skilled at climbing hills C. overtaking Peggy would be easy D. climbing the hill would be a demanding task71. What lesson does the writer learn from the race? A. Women are as good as men in sports. B. Women are better at climbing hi
60、lls. C. He should have more training in a cross-country race. D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.EThe way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are eq
61、ual to happiness，then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness contain some pain. As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happinessThey fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such t
62、hings as marriage，raising children，professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvementAsk a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment，for commitment is in fact qu
63、ite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitementMarriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples，with infant children, are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to
64、 describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can de
65、vote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at
66、 all. 72. According to the author，a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because_. A. he is unwilling to take on family responsibilities B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun, adv

To understand what true happiness is, one must _. A. have as much fun as possible in ones life time B. make every effort to liberate oneself fro
68、m pain C. put up with pain in any situationD. be able to tell happiness from fun75. What is the author trying to tell us? A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. B. One must know how to obtain happiness. C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.第卷（共35分）第四部
