17、 . 四、阅读理解 （每题2分， 共40分）ADavid Beckham is the king of the football world, but it is his wife Victoria, former “Posh Spice ” girl, who makes it possible. She was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor. Even now that he has left Manchester United for Real Madrid, instead of
18、Barcelona or Milan, it might be because of her.“Posh Spice” has become a name for Victoria.

19、ed, but that was about all.Since he married her in 1999, he has become the most famous player British sport has ever produced, and, some say, the most influential (有影响的) man in the country. “When they got together, she was clearly the more popular of the two,” said Andrew Parker, a sports expert at
20、Warwick University in Britain. “ She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and, all of a sudden, he was a top list celebrity (名人). ”Its believed that, behind the high walls and iron gates of their “Beckingham Palace”, it is Victoria who decides everything.When their baby boy, Brooklyn,
21、fell in 2000, Beckham left a United training session to look after him, and this led to his being dropped from the team. Many were sure it was Victoria who had asked her husband to stay at home.

29、r. It helps the children overcome their handicaps.Mr. Cling became a foster grandparent to Lisa when she was nine years old. At first, Lisa was shy. She was afraid because Mr. Cling was a stranger. But he came to see her every day, gradually she began to trust him. At last, Lisa let Mr. Cling do thi
30、ngs for her.Cling speaks for most foster grandparents when he says, “We all benefit. The handicapped children benefit because we help them live more useful lives.

34、e movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywoodmore than 800 films a year.The movies from Bollyw
35、ood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films cont
36、ain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood.
37、In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such hig
38、h demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for act
39、ors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood filmthirty times as m
40、uch! 46. What is the main topic of the reading?A. famous stars in Bollywood B. how Hollywood movies are madeC. the differences between two movie industries D. the history of movie-making in India47. What is NOT true about Mumbai?A. It is the movie capital of India. B. The new name is Bombay.C. More
41、movies are made there than in Hollywood.D. It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.48. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?A. They have spicy stories. B. They show Indian culture. C. They are much longer than Hollywood films. D. They mix different styles of movies.
42、49. Bollywood movies are cheap to make because _ .A. they are shorter than Hollywood films. B. the scripts are written by hand.C. the movies do not use any special effects. D. each movie reuses things from other movies.50. Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with?A. Most Bollyw
43、ood movies are very similar.B. It takes a lot of money to make a good movie.C. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.D. Hollywood movies are too violent.DIn the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tric
44、ky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some helpful life changing events like marriage.When you take the Holmes Rahe you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress - it only sho
45、ws how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the rep
46、orts. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran titles like “Stress causes illness.”If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are
47、 dangerous, many - like the death of loved one-are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from chances as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, ha
48、ve a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes were all vulnerable and not active in the face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of str
49、ess with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.51. The result of Holmes-Rahes medical research tells us _ . A the way you handle major events may cause stress B what shoul
50、d be done to avoid stress C what kind of event would cause stress D how to cope with sudden changes in life52.The score of the Holmes Rahe test shows _ . A. how you can deal with life changing eventsB. how helpful events can change your life C. how stressful a major event can be D. how much pressure
51、 you are under53. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to _ .A. popular avoidance of stressful jobs B. great fear over the mental disorderC. a careful research into stress related illnesses D. widespread worry about its harmful effects54. Why is “such simplistic advice ”(Line 2, Para.3) impo
52、ssible to follow? A. No one can stay on the same job for long. B. More effective ways have been found to get rid of stressful events. C. People have to get married some day. D. You could be missing chances as well.55. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _. A
