    Gao Yuanyuan, a Beijing girl, is lucky. She seems to have everything that most girls can only dream of. Her pretty face and slim figure were spotted by a talent scout (星探) when she was only 16. Now her latest work, “Shanghai Dreams” won the Jury
    Prize (评委会奖) at the 58th Cannes Film Festival, in France, on May 21. That success put Gao in the spotlight everywhere.
    But Gao, 25, said that she didn’t think there was much to get excited about. “I am an actress. That’s my job,” she said. Nowadays people pay more attention to fame and money in the entertainment world, but ignore the effort(努力，汗水) made by an actor.” “Acting in front of the camera is just a vocation（职业）. Like any other job, you need to show that you are capable,” Gao explained. With more young people seeing acting as an ideal job, Gao advises that they first ask themselves seriously, “Do I love performing, or do I want to be a star?” For Gao, being a good actress is the most important thing.
    Gao admitted that she didn’t like acting before. Her dream was to be an office worker. Her major at college was secretarial studies. “I did shoot ads and films when I was in college, but I thought of it as just a part-time job,” she added. “It was nothing special, in the same way my classmates were tutors and salesmen in their spare time.”
    It was not until the TV series “Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber” was shot that Gao began to love acting. At first, she said, the Hong Kong director didn’t think she was suitable for the role. “I performed in a fit of pique (赌气) and I’d never been so serious before,” she said. Then Gao found she became more interested in performing and worked harder for perfection.
    51. Gao Yuanyuan became a star probably because __________.
    A. She had pretty face and slim figure
    B. She had always dreamed of it.
    C. “Shanghai Dreams” won the Jury Prize at the 58th Cannes Film Festival, in France
    D. Her job was an actress.
    52. The word “ ignore” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
    A. know about    B. respect    C. pay no attention to  D. pay much attention to
    53. Gao’s advice on being actress shows _____________.
    A. one needs to work hard.    B. one has to work hard.  
    C. one should be honest       D. one should be capable
    54. The best title of the passage is ____________.
    A. Gao and her acting life       B. Gao’s new work “Shanghai Dreams”
    C. Gao and her TV series       D. Gao’s loving of acting
    55. We may infer（推断） that Gao ________.
    A. Gao loved acting when she was young
    B. the Hong kong director didn’t appreciate her performance at first
    C. the TV series “Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber” was popular
    D. When she was young, she acted in “Shanghai Dreams”

    Last April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carried with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It

Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200,000 Japanese tourists. Sales are expected to be at $ 650 million for 2008 and at $ I billion for 2009. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Amold Schwarzenegger visited the mall.

    Barcelona December 22,2007.
    Spain’s “El Gordo,” the word’s biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (欧元) (1.6 billion pounds) in Christmas prizes on Saturday.
    El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic number 06381.
    Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize.
    The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western Asturias region.
    The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won.
    Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7 percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007. In 2006, one of the most sought-after series was 22105, the date on which Fernando Alonso became Formula 1 world champion for the second year running.

    B．People who bough tickets with the magic number 06381.
    C．People who lived in a town in the northwestern Asturias.
    D．People who chose lottery numbers matching Alonso’s date.
    小题3:According to the text, children from the San Ildefonso School in Madrid will         .
    A．host the draw of lottery live on TV
    B．offer a show of three – and – a – half hours
    C．perform with the lottery draw as Christmas celebration
    D．help make some declarations for the draw as invited guests

    B．The majority of Spaniards have the experience of buying lotteries.
    C．Lottery numbers matching significant dates help people win every year.

    第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    The truth in other words
    A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
    A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
    Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
    The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
    What he had written was : “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
    Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
    Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.             The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
    There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
    The first is : Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.
    The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!
    56. The man wrote some words on one side of the boy’s sign because       .
    A. he thought that the blind boy didn’t know how to write
    B. he wanted to prove that the boy was really blind
    C. he thought that the boy couldn’t get any money
    D. he wanted to help the poor blind boy
    57. The changed sign worked better than the original one because        .
    A. the original sign told people to do things, which people don’t like
    B. the second sign made people see their health as a gift, which made them willing to help
    C. the original sign pointed out a kind of suffering that people don’t care about at all
    D. the second sign drew people’s attention to another problem the boy had
    58. We can learn from the story that the man who rewrote the sign was        .
    A. creative      B. patient       C. funny      D. curious
    59. The story shows us that        .
    A. thinking in a different way can get us out of trouble
    B. learning to be thankful for what we have may help us to live happier lives
    C. creative thinking may bring us better results
    D. being kind and respectful will encourage blind people to help themselves
