The network opened in February in Beijing.SYDNEY-The Sydney Olympic flame will travel underwater on Australias Great Barrier Reef during the torch relay following a successful test.Scuba diver Wendy Craig, a marine biologist, will carry the torch on a three-to-
14、four-minute underwater journey at Agincourt Reef on June 27, creating Olympic history, organizers said yesterday.Burning at 2000 degrees, the torch is expected to remain alight three metres underwater because of a special kind of technology which creates a fierce flame“ -too powerful to be drowned o
15、ut by water.” Charles Tegner, managing director of torch creator, said the flame would burn like a flare from oxygen-producing chemicals.BEIJING-The election of a new leader in Taiwan can not change the fact that Taiwan is a part of Chinese territory.“Taiwan Independence”in whatever form will never
16、be allowed, according to a statesman of Chinas central government. “We should listen to what the new leader in Taiwan says and watch what he does. We will observe where he will lead cross-Straits relations. We are willing to exchange views on cross-Straits relations and peaceful reunification with a
17、ll parties, organizations and personages in Taiwan who favor the one China principle”, says the statesman, which was released by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee.HAIKOU-Customs officers in Haikou, capital of South Chinas Hainan Province, recently stopped a boat loaded with 781
18、cases of foreign-brand cigarettes being smuggled(走私)into China. The cigarettes are estimated to be worth more than 1.8 million yuan, said a customs discovered the smuggling boat as they were going around the northern sea area of Yangpu Port.The smuggled cigarettes cases, packed into two containers,
19、were disguised to avoid being examined. The boat was registered in the coastal city of Xiamen in East Chinas Fujian Province.

23、the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world. Few would argue with Fords statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the Un
24、ited States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news
25、 has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as“the en
26、tertainment industry”or“show business.” The positive side of Henry Fords statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are p
27、roduced in abundance because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life. The negative side of Henry Fords statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business.
28、And the term big businessreferring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still som
29、e employee anxiety. Downsizingthe laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits highcreates feelings of insecurity for many.25.The United States is a typical country _. A. which encourages free trade at home and abroad B. where peoples chief concern is how to make money C. wher
30、e all businesses are managed scientifically D. which normally works according to the federal budget26. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that _. A. most newspapers are run by big businesses B. even public organizations concentrate on working for profits C. Americans of a
31、ll professions know how to do businessD. even arts and entertainment are regarded as business27. Henry Fords statement can be taken negatively because _. A. working people are discouraged to fight for their fights B. there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists C. there is a conflic
32、ting relationship between big corporations and labor D. public services are not run by the federal government28. A companys efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in _. A. reduction in the number of employees B. improvement of working conditions C. fewer disputes between labor and
33、management D. a rise in workers wages C A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking. He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or Ill land the plane and have you arrested.” Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airlines
34、 chairman. But his reply was even ruder. “You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways. (a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. Im a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A st
35、ewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived. (b) Ive never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, “I dont think Ill ever fly again.” But there was a funny side
36、. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免税) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!” (c) Mr. Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you havent. Especially when you travel on my planes.” Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were
37、not told of the company s (公司的) no smoking policy. (d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen. “He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.” Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply

Maureen Harkavy _ on the plane. A. accepted the warning B. agreed to the warning C. refused to do what she was told
39、to D. was so shocked that she wrote to the airlines chairman31. From the story we can see that the writer probably takes the side of _ . A. the pilot B. the airlines chairman C. the stewardress D. Maureen Harkavy D A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research
40、shows that most people would choose the latter. This type of woman is called a nhanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Haos friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carrie
41、d out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says. According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with
42、 a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view. Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women ar
43、e often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fat
44、hers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu. Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Ce
45、nter, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their
46、 manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.32Which of the followings doesnt belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?A. She is independent of others in daily life. B. She can solve problems usually for men.C. She is more tolerant to stress. D. She is soft and tender to others.33How ma

However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly. 36 For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines.
50、 To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(彩排) encourage this by running through the lines or having a “read through”. By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.Listen to your cast members. Sometimes inexper
51、ienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 37 This will help the actor learn his lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbed. 38 Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the p
52、lays dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene . Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. 39 Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank s
53、pace so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording. Think positively and dont panic. Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night.
