4．Was the London Olympics a success？Many people hold different opinions．However，one thing is certain，London could win a gold medal for hosting the"greenest"Games ever，BBC News reported．
Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through construction，waste and transport．But things had to be different in London．
What is most impressive is that London considered the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas．2 million tons of polluted soils were removed and 200 old factory buildings were torn down，according to sustainablebusiness．com．But that's not all．99 percent of the debris（廢瓦礫）were reused to build the Olympic Park．
As well as using recycled materials，all gymnasiums were built with green building techniques．The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built，which minimized the amount of steel and concrete needed．Also，the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electricity use by 40 percent．
The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise．Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater．In this way，about 30-40 percent less water was used in total．Waste food package were either recycled or processed and turned into renewable energy．
As one of the best connected places in Europe，London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport．For example，it had trains deliver half of the building materials，instead of cars，which greatly reduced carbon emissions（排放）．
The clean anti-doping result also added to the greenness of the Games．Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing，which is why the IOC President，Jacques Rogge，has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games．

A．recycled 2 million tons of polluted soil
B．a(chǎn)pplied green building techniques to the construction
C．built the Olympic Stadium mostly with recycled materials
D．removed 99 percent of the debris from the city

B．In terms of holding the greenest Games，the London Olympics was a success．
C．London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of private cars for free．

15．On the high-speed train Avignon to Paris，my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train in the middle of a car，directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years．It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger．My husband and I pulled out books．The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face．Except for a lunch break，she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip．Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance，but never once did she catch my eye．My husband and I could have been a blanket wall．
     I was amused，but some people would have felt uncomfortable，even repulsed（厭惡的）．there is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions．Partly it's a question of hygiene．And it's a matter of degree．Making up----a private act----has a way of neglecting the presence of others．I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table，demonstrating that while she was next to me，she was not with me．
     In fact，I am generally prohibited from making up in public，except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment．In a gathering more professional than social，I would do so．
     Kathy Peiss，a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's．Deploring（強烈反對） the practice as a waste of company time，trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers．Peiss theorizes that it was female's making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen．
      Peiss tells me that after the 30's，pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue．It became an accepted practice．I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself．Sounding mildly shocked，she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward．Why？Because it would be"a gesture of inappropriate feminity（女性化）．"One guess is that most professional women feel this way．There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching．

61．According to the author，"My husband and I could have been a blanket wall．"（Line 6，Para.1）most probably means"A"．
A．We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes．
B．We looked at the French woman expressionlessly．
C．We were treated with an expressionless face．
D．We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes．
62．In the author's opinion，sheD．
A．feels comfortable when making up in public．
B．makes up before any professional gatherings．
C．only makes up on social occasions．
D．a(chǎn)llows public making up on certain occasions．
63．According to Peiss，nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason thatB．
A．normal office work was disturbed．
B．make dominance was emphasized there．
C．it discouraged women's interest in career．
D．it distracted make workers'focus on work．
64．Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public？D
A．Because they are worried about being looked down upon．
B．Because it implies women's disadvantages in academic fields．
C．Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males．
D．Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations．
65．It can be inferred that in a highly open society，the differences between men and womenC．
A．have attracted little attention．
B．hinder the social development．
C．still call for great concern．
D．a(chǎn)re attractive topics in talk shows．

[2]The woman was in the last stages of a life．By her side，spending time with her and caring for her，was not her family，not her friends，but her next-door neighbor．In those moments，Karen's personal purpose in life became clear as she realized the major difference that we as individuals can have on another person's life．

9．No one knows why people dream，but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn．In a recent study，scientists found a connection between nap-time （午睡時間） dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill．
So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice，practise，practise---and then sleep on it．
"I was surprised by this finding，"Robert Stickgold，a Harvard University scientist who led the study．
In the study，100 college students each spent an hour on a computer，trying to get through a virtual maze （虛擬迷宮）．The maze was difficult，and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried---making it even more difficult．
Then，for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break，half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were told to sleep．Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts．Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had．
Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM，or non-REM sleep．REM stands for"rapid eye movement"，which is what happens during REM sleep．This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper，although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep．Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving，during NREM sleep．Other studies have found a connection between NREM bring activity and learning ability．
Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze．Later，when these four people tried the computer maze again，they were able to complete it faster．
Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn；t help a person learn---it's the other way around．He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning．
All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time，which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult．People who had other dreams，or people didn't sleep，didn't show the same improvement．
 
36．In the first stage of the study，the participants were asked toB
A．design a maze on computer
B．find their way out of a maze
C．decide where to begin a maze
D．remember a location in a maze
37．What happened to the participants during the break？D
A．Half of them were woken up when they started to dream．
B．Half of them were asked to dram about the maze．
C．All of them were asked to describe their thoughts．
D．Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes．
38．What can we learn from the passage？D
A．Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it．
B．Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning．
C．During NREM sleep，people usually don't dream．
D．Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep．
39．In the first stage of the study，the participants were asked toB
A．design a maze on computer
B．find their way out of a maze
C．decide where to begin a maze
D．remember a location in a maze
40．Which of the following statement best summarizes the study's conclusion？A
A．Dreams have a role in learning．
B．Dreams have no basis in reality．
C．Dreams are important for health．
D．Dreams are the best way to study．

16．A Korean wave is sweeping across China，and You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia．Besides，the book，The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane，read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while．
After the enormous craze generated by Great Jang-Geum in 2003，the resurgence （復(fù)活） of South Korean TV dramas can be attributed to the joint efforts of the country's government and TV series makers．The South Korean government issued regulations saying at least 80percent of the TV programs had to be domestically produced．It also fixed the minimum number of homemade TV series to be broadcast in the country．That not only helped South Korean TV productions gain a firm foothold in the domestic market，but also laid the foundation for their successful attempt into overseas markets．
Recent years have seen great innovations in South Korean TV productions in terms of themes and narrative patterns．Take You Who Came From The Star as an example．Although aliens visiting Earth is an often-used theme，You Who Came From The Star's script remains logical and fast-paced．It mixes the plot with romance and murder and keeps the audience guessing about how the story will unfold．When it comes to love stories，the new South Korean teleplays no longer use the sorrow card； instead，they introduce them with unpredictable ideas and romantic punch lines．
The three TV stations，SBS，KBS and MBC，control the majority of South Korean TV market，each specializing in a different area and appealing to people of different ages．The productions are smooth and use advanced technologies such as high-speed photography and computer-generated effects，creating a real-life visual impact．
Moreover，the filming for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts （劇本） are just one-third ready．Many popular productions have their own websites，where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts，inviting viewers to leave messages，discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future series．This not only keeps viewers'interest in the TV dramas alive，but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audience's demand．
Hopefully，the success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home，and possibly abroad．

67．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT one South Korean TV drama？C
A．You Who Came From The Star．               B．The Heirs．
C．The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane．  D．Great Jang-Geum．
68．Why are most of South Korean TV programs required to be produced within South Korea？C
A．Because the TV programs produced out of South Korea are poorly made．
B．Because they can't match up to better produced works from other countries．
C．Because South Korean TV series are encouraged to promote its development．
D．Because just South Korea can provide enough TV market for them．
69．What kind of ending does You Who Came From The Star probably have？D
A．Sad and surprising．  B．Violent and frightening．
C．Romantic and sad．    D．Romantic and happy．
70．What's the advantage of South Korean TV programs over Chinese TV dramas？D
A．Government's support．  B．Often-used theme．
C．Different technologies． D．Changeable scripts．
