As we look back at 2007, there are some faces we cannot forget. Here we present three such people as we wave goodbye to 2007.

Wang Baoqiang

The lead actor of the 28-episode TV drama “Soldiers Sortie,” Wang Baoqiang is the TV star with the highest attention in newspapers and magazines. Acting Xu Sanduo, a simple-minded country boy who wins the respect and confidence of his comrades, Wang moved the audience with his tenacity (堅強(qiáng)), a rare quality in our times.

Yu Dan

Studying ancient texts suddenly became popular in modern-day China following the publication of “Yu Dan’s Reflections on The Analects,” by Yu Dan, a professor at Beijing Normal University, in December 2006. Since then, it has sold 6 million legal copies.

Yu is followed by reporters and surrounded at appearances around the nation — 60,000 people showed up for one Beijing book signing in March. In July, she was selected as one of China’s three most beautiful women.

Tang Wei

Chinese actress Tang Wei finally became famous at the age of 27, after playing in Ang Lee’s latest film “Lust, Caution.” For many Chinese actresses, being cast by Lee is a ticket to Hollywood. Zhang Ziyi is a good example, having starred in Ang’s “Crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon.” Tang Wei had waited a long time for her chance and, when it came, she caught it. 2007 was meaningful for her.

41. After Wang Baoqiang starred “Soldiers Sortie”, he ______.

A. became famous                                      B. liked newspapers

C. became tenacious                           D. was relaxed

42. Yu Dan became popular mainly because ______.

A. people show great interest in ancient texts

B. she is a professor at Beijing Normal University

C. her books have been sold 6 million copies

D. she was very beautiful in people’s eyes

43. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. Tang Wei’s fame is greater than Zhang Ziyi’s

B. the author thinks much of Ang Lee

C. Zhang Ziyi’s success lies in Ang Lee

D. Tang Wei has more luck than skill

A strange woman comes to my door one day in early March.It’s a rich area so we often have people selling things door to door，dusters，make?up，frozen foods—but she doesn’t look like a professional saleswoman.She hasn’t got the patter(喋喋不休) either.She just smiles shyly and puts a card in my hand：“Amy Turner.Pet Portraits Undertaken.”

I run my fingernail along the cheap gold edge of the card and look at her，waiting for an explanation.

“I’ll paint any animal in the comfort of your own home.”Amy Turner says.“Wouldn’t you like a nice picture of your loved one？I’ve had experience of dogs，cats，parrots，prize bulls...”

“Prize bulls！”I can’t help looking up and down our street.The thought of any of my neighbours keeping bulls in their back gardens makes me smile.

“I don’t have any animals，”I say as we look past each other.She must be wishing some little cat or dog would come running down the hall to give the game away and it is the first chance I’ve had to smell the air outside.It is one of those spring mornings when you wake up and find winter’s gone.Even the camellia in the garden opposite has flowered overnight，pink blossoms which look shocking against the quiet greens and greys.

“Why are you still in your dressing gown？”Amy says，turning her attention back to me.“It’s nearly lunchtime.Are you ill？”

“I’m fine，”I lie.I’m not going to tell a stranger I’ve just been sick in the toilet upstairs and would still be sticking my fingers down my throat if the doorbell hadn’t rung.But now I’m not sure what to do next.Amy is still standing there.She_doesn’t_seem_to_think_that_not_having_a_pet_is

_a_good_enough_excuse.

“I’m starving.”she says and I smile politely，nodding the way you do before you say goodbye.

“No，”she puts her foot in the door.“I’m really starving.I’ve had nothing to eat for two days and no one has any pets for me to paint.I need some food or I’ll faint，right here on your doorstep.”

I stand to one side and let her in.

A．Sells things door to door with her cards.

B．Never puts a card into people’s hands.

C．Tries to talk people into buying her things.

D．Smiles，hands her cards and walks away.

3．From the text we know that Amy is a ________.

The word “death” is a word many Chinese friends tell me I should not say aloud. They advise me to avoid the word because only speaking of it may bring ill fortune. I deeply believe, however, that to know how to live, we must also know how to die. The problem is how we talk about death.      
Like everyone in Taiwan this week, I have had “Tomb Sweeping Day”. I am proud to be part of a people whose culture sends millions of families to cemeteries on this special day to share memories and endless love.
Today, eight days after the death of Pope John Paul II, millions of people of all backgrounds still grieve(悲痛) his passing away. He was a deeply human person who knew how to laugh and show emotions, a writer with a gift for words a leader who appealed to us by the sheer light of his love for life.
On the same day and only hours before the Holy Father left us, a friend of mine named Veronica McBride died of cancer in a small Wisconsin city. My friend Veronica was 52 years old. She was an attractive, humorous young woman who, as the saying goes, “never married”. She published several humor books with her mother, Mary McBride. She enjoyed traveling, and for years sent Christmas card photos of herself standing beside monuments or odd animals. She fought cancer for five years. She joked about her treatment keeping her pretty because it kept her thin, and told me she didn’t mind losing her hair because of chemo therapy. “I get to wear nice wigs!”
The last time I saw Veronica was when I visited her family on a sunny day in August in 2003. When she burst into the front door later and saw me in the living room, she ignored me completely in her hurry to hug her newest baby nephew, leaving me shaking my head in laughter at her.
As we look to the significance of the Holy Father and his life, surely we must also keep our eyes open to see the wonder and goodness in ordinary people who show us how to live and how to die.
【小題1】The purpose of the article is ___________.

A．to memorize his friend Veronica
B．to talk about the significance of life and death
C．to teach us how to face life and death
D．to compare his friend and the Holy Father Pope John Paul II
【小題2】The underlined phrase “chemo therapy” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A．a(chǎn) medical treatmentB．a(chǎn) kind of cancer
C．a(chǎn) kind of medicineD．the newest machine
【小題3】Why does the writer compare the Holly Father with his friend?
A．Because they are both the persons he admires.
B．Because they have a lot in common.
C．Because he wants to show that ordinary people can be great as well.
D．Because he wants to memorize them both.
【小題4】From the phrase “burst into”, we can see that Veronica is ____________.
A．braveB．sportiveC．humorousD．energetic
