四、閱讀理解（共16小題；每小題2分，滿分32分）

You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults’ fashion magazine Seventeen.

     “You is IN,” said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen. “She is active and mature(成熟的) because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies, to books on art, to movies. We found she’s the very style we’re looking for to represent young people’s attitudes.”

    You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year. As the hostess of an English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, You is always praised for speaking English almost like a native speaker. “I’ve built up my English by watching thousands of English DVDs since I was 10,” she explained.

    But for You, watching isn’t enough. Last year, while in Senior 1, she met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school.

   　“I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films,” she said. So she wrote a campus(校園) story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all in English. “I played one of the leading roles, actually I was everything in my film. I worked on it every single day during the SARS holidays,” she recalled. The movie finally became a big hit on campus, earning You a strong reputation(名氣) as a DV movie director.

　　But this is not the only field she wants to master. Despite being a science student, You likes art, literature and fashion design very much.

  　“There are people who can be artists, there are people who edit books, and there are people who become film producers. But I just hope to mix all the things up!” she said. “There is an old saying I believe: Chance favours only the prepared mind.”

1. You Mi’s fluent English is based on _____.

    A. her chance to host an English broadcasting programme

    B. the influence of her parents

    C. her deep interest in it

    D. her making DV movie

2. The author mentioned a talented boy to show _____.

    A. the great influence he had on You Mi

    B. he was admired by his schoolmates

    C. the young can do things as well as the adults do

    D. self-made DV movies are popular at school

3.In the 30-minute DV movie, You Mi didn’t act as a(n) _____.

     A. director            B. musician         C. actress             D. producer

4. We can learn from the passage that _____.

　　A. You Mi hopes to be a mixed talent

　　B. the success of a 30-minute DV movie shocked You Mi

　　C. You Mi dreams of becoming a scientist

　　D. the outbreak of SARS delayed You Mi’s studies

                                                 Interview with a president
     While many teenagers may dream of meeting with pop star Jay Chou or NBA hero Yao Ming, Li Jing
had a far more powerful person on her mind. The Senior 2 from Beijing No.35 High School dreamt of
meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
     After more than a year of hard work and with a little good luck, Li fulfilled her dream. On October 11, 2004, the 16-year-old girl joined a team of Chinese journalists who went to the Kremlin, in Moscow, to
interview Putin.
     Li felt nervous before talking with Putin. "But his greeting and warm smile put me at ease," she said.
Li admires Putin very much, because of his strong will and style of leadership. "He looks very cool," Li

officials in the future. Putin smiled and answered he hopes they can do whatever job suits their interests
and personalities.

August after applying for the opportunity. "Journalists work is by no means easy. You need to do lots of
homework on your interviewee," she said. She read many books about Putin and Russia in her spare
time.?
Li's parents encouraged her to be a student journalist. "We fully support her, as long as it does not affect
her studies," said her father. Previously in her job for a student magazine, Chinese Young Journalists, she
wrote a letter to President Hu Jintao during the SARS epidemic.
     Li has learnt a lot from her experience. She said learning to manage her time and developing the

科目：高中英語 來源：廣西自治區(qū)模擬題 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀理解。
     I credit my typing skills to so many hours of chatting online. Unfortunately, as my typing speed increased
on the Internet, all grammatical rules went out of the window. You see, instant messengers have their own
shorthand language and grammar isn't important, of which even a newbie (新手) is aware. They can leave
out articles, subjects, pronouns, etc. They can misspell or "re-spell" almost any word. They often ask "A/S/L"
when they first chat. Abbreviations and capitalizations are particularly important. English-speaking instant
messengers also refuse to burden themselves with punctuation and capitalization.
     After I came back China, I discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes. The first, which brought
back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was QQ. I can see evidence that the Chinese have
the same kind of separate instant messaging language, even when they chat in English. My first word in this
language, for example, was "ft". This abbreviation for"faint" is used whenever there is a need to express
surprise. I also discovered that the Chinese use the same kind of abbreviation for a laugh. And there is an
extraordinary number of smileys and icons available to express every emotion and reaction, from the traditional
"sleepy" and"doubtful" smileys to the "vomit" and "army soldier" smileys. There's even a SARS smiley.
     After QQ, there is another, perhaps more widespread, messaging trend. You guessed it-cell phone text
messaging. I now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common. I admit that I have been
guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway. Who hasn't? No matter where
I go, I see people on their cell phones, messaging. In fact, it's rare to see someone actually talking on their
phone!
     So it looks as if there's no escape from the instant messaging crazes, no matter where in the world I go.
And that's plainly not going to change. In the end, though, I can't complain: instant messaging is quick, it's
cheap, it's easy and it's extreme fun too. And after all, everybody's doing it.
1. The underlined phrase "went out of the window" in Paragraph 1 probably means ____.
A. increased
B. occurred
C. disappeared
D. changed
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Grammar and correct spelling are very important while chatting online.
B. There are enough smileys and icons to express yourselves while chatting online.
C. The writer is skilled at typing and once was addicted to online games.
D. It is impolite to leave out some unimportant words or letters while chatting online.
2. The writer believes that instant messaging is ____.
A. full of fun but time-consuming
B. widespread but unnecessary
C. quick but difficult to do
D. common, useful and cheap
3. The writer believes that instant messaging is ____.
A. full of fun but time-consuming
B. widespread but unnecessary
C. quick but difficult to do
D. common, useful and cheap
4. Which might be the main idea of the passage?
A. Who can escape QQ and cell phone text messaging?
B. Why is instant messaging so popular?
C. Chatting online is good for your typing skills.
D. Chatting on QQ is natural for people.
