    the, the
  2. B.
    an, the
  3. C.
    /, the
  4. D.
    / a
C
考查冠詞。Imagination想象力，是一個(gè)抽象名詞，單獨(dú)使用，不要冠詞。Bottom后面有介詞短語(yǔ)修飾，說(shuō)明是特指，故使用the表示特指。句意：中國(guó)的年輕人在計(jì)算能力方面排名第一，但是在想象力方面排名最后，在創(chuàng)造性方面排名倒數(shù)第5.故C正確。

Today, we talk to an up-and-coming (有前途的) erhu player, Lee Hang, from Hong Kong. He’ll play with the Hong Kong Orchestra (管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)) next Sunday in a special concert by young Chinese musicians.

Interviewer: Thank you for talking to us, Lee. You must be very excited.

Lee: Yes, I am. This is the first time that I’ve played with such a famous orchestra and in front of so many people. They’re expecting about 4,000 people.

Interviewer: Does that scare you?

Lee: To be honest, yes. I haven’t slept much in the last few days. But my teacher told me I wouldn’t take it seriously enough if I wasn’t scared. That helped a lot.

Interviewer: Tell me about why you started playing the erhu.

Lee: My parents took me to piano and violin lessons. I quite liked them but they had to force me to go sometimes. One night, I saw a documentary about Yo Yo Ma, the famous Chinese American cello(大提琴) player. He talked about his love of Chinese instruments and we should follow our interests. I always enjoyed listening to Chinese instruments like the erhu and guzheng. That inspired me to learn the erhu. My parents were glad that I was playing something I actually liked.

Interviewer: What do your friends think of you playing a Chinese instrument?

Lee: Well, a lot of my classmates think playing things like the erhu isn’t cool. I don’t care. It makes me happy. I got a letter from Yo Yo, saying how much he admired me and that he’d like to meet me next time when he’s in Hong Kong. They thought that was pretty cool!

Interviewer: And what does the future hold for you?

Lee: I’d like to study music in a university in China then hopefully play in orchestras. My ambition is to bring the beautiful sound of the erhu to all the corners of the world.

Interviewer: Well, if anyone can, it’s you. Thanks for talking to me, Lee. Good luck.

Lee: Thanks.

What will Lee Hang do next Sunday?

A. He will have an interview. 

B. He will talk to a newspaper reporter.

At a recent luncheon(午餐會(huì)), Yao Ming, an well-known Chinese basketball players, was introduced to the CEOs of IBM, FedEx, Motorola, Disney, AOL Time Warner and visiting former Chinese President, Jiang Zemin. Other deals include Nike, Sorrent, and China Unicom.

In the end Yao is expected to earn much more in endorsement deals than his four-year,＄18-million salary to play center for the Houston Rockets.

    “His friendly personality is real”, says Jimmy Siegel, who as vice-chairman, senior executive creative director at BBDO New York was behind Yao’s “Yo！” commercial for the Visa check card.

    “He’s very much what you’d imagine,” says Siegel. “He’s very modest, down to Earth, somewhat self-effacing（不愛(ài)拋頭露面的）and somewhat quiet but I think that’s part of the language problem.”

Despite all the attention, Ming’s bank account is still a far cry from Jordan’s or Woods’, who each earn between＄40 million and ＄60 million every year in endorsement.

Unlike Jordan and Woods--who are unquestionably the best in the world at what they do--there’s no way to know how long Yao Ming will remain the king of the NBA—he’s only been here for six months.

1. Who have / has contacted with Yao Ming recently ?

A. CEOs of IBM, Motorola.Disney, AOL Time Warner.

B. Visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao.      

C. Sorrent, vice-chairman of BBDO New York.

D. Jordan and Woods.

2. What does the underlined word“endorsement”mean?

A. Commercial.      B. Entertainment.      C. Sports.              D. Marketing.

3. Which of the statements about Yao Ming is Not true?

A. He is now quite popular in the U.S..

B. He is a modest, down to earth young man.

C. He may earn more in endorsement deals than his salary. 

D. He will surely become the future king of the NBA.

4. Why is it Yao Ming’s bank account still much less than Jordan’s or Woods’?

A. He is not as good a player as Jordon or Woods.

B. He will earn only 18 million in 4 years in the future.

C. His endorsement income is now lower than Jordan’s or Woods’.

D. He has only been in the States for six months.

5. What is the part reason why Yao Ming is self-effacing and quiet according to Siegel?

A. Because Yao Ming didn’t like the luncheon.

B. Because Jordon was invited to the luncheon.

C. Because Yao Ming had language problem.

D. Because Yao Ming didn’t meet his best friend here.
