6、A recent trend in Californian restaurants shows new eating habits among those out to have an interesting dining experience. Appetizers (开胃品) seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks sampled in various types of restaurants, bars and cafes. In this way, in the course of an evening out, you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of town, to a bar with some live music at the other end, then for a coffee, and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer.

     Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently, each with their own particular type of food and special atmosphere, combined with the increased sophistication in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days, when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza, creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on.

     Prices for appetizers are not equal to a full meal; however, their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly, for that special occasion, a meal in a nice restaurant, complete with the piano performance, is hard to beat. However, if we see that this trend for  "butterfly eating"-- moving around several different places in one evening -- continues, then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well!

72. How are Californian people's eating habits changing?

   A. People are dining out less.                     

B. Californian restaurants are becoming less popular.

   C. Most people eat less than they used to.           

D. A full restaurant meal is losing popularity.

73. All the places which serve appetizers

   A. have much the same menu                    

B. have their own particular characteristics

   C. have a bar with live music                    

D. are located at the end of the town

74. What does the underlined words "increased sophistication" in Paragraph 2 mean?

  A. Serving a bigger share.                         B.  Using healthier mixture.

  C. Charging more for food.                       D. Offering better quality and variety.

75. Appetizers used to be seen as____________.

  A. relatively important                          B. a full meal

  C. cheap meal                                      D. an expensive meal

5、     More than one million children in the United States do not go to school. Instead, they learn at home. Most often, their parents are their teachers. Educational companies, libraries and the Internet provide many families with teaching material.

    Parents choose home schooling for several reasons. Some choose it because of their religious beliefs. Others say it provides more time for the family to be together. They say the home offers a better place for learning. Some parents believe home schooling avoids learning. Some parents believe home schooling avoids problems of rational schools. Critics, however, say children need to attend school with other children.

    All fifty American states and the District of Columbia permit home schooling. Some states do not require much preparation by parents or testing of children. Other states have more requirements for home schooling. Home schooling in the United States began when the country was established. In farm areas, people often lived far from a school. Widespread home schooling took place until about the middle of the nineteenth century. Then, in 1852, the state of Massachusetts passed the first law requiring children to attend school.

    Over the year, the American public education system strengthened and grew. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, some Americans believed that traditional education was not helping their children. So a number of parents began home schooling.

    Home schooling expert Linda Dobson says many people have helped the movement grow. She says many kinds of people have joined the movement. These include rich people and poor people. They represent many races, religions and political beliefs. Ms. Dobson says the number of home-schooled children has increased an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year during the last fifteen years.

4、THIS movie is about an adventure on an island called Skull, where an oversize gorilla named Kong falls in love with a blonde beauty. Nothing much to expect, you might say .

But you might be wrong.

It has been 72 years since the story was first brought to the screen. But the latest movie version, "King Kong", is a box office hit in the US. The film opens in China on January 14.

Kong himself resonates through American culture: his name known to every 10-year-old boy, his image used to sell everything from insurance to snacks.

So what is it that makes the story attractive to generations of Americans?

Set in the Great Depression of the 1930s, the film follows New York actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), who is kidnapped by movie makers. She was taken to the Skull Island, where she was caught by the aboriginals, who want to sacrifice her to King Kong, a gorilla.

But instead of eating Ann, King Kong saves her. He is captured and dragged back to New York. There he bursts free and climbs the Empire State Building in search of Ann.

Why did King Kong appear in 1933? And why is he back now, in 2005?

In 1933 a worldwide economic depression threw the future into doubt. "The monster represents American workers' feelings at being caged by forces beyond their control," says Gerald Molyneaux, La Salle University film professor and biographer of Charlie Chaplin.

Now, once again, Americans worry about their future in an age of terror, threatened by the presence of "the other" this time by al-Qaida.

But some people, on the other hand, see the movie just as what it is.

"I am confident the story is not any type of social or political allegory," says artist Dave Dorman, creator of the cover illustrations for the new King Kong comic books. "Sometimes an ape is just an ape."

63. What is the best title for this passage?

   A. King Kong rules                           

   B. A Film Named “King Kong”

   C. An Ape Called King Kong on an Island

  D. Why King Kong is so popular in America now ?

64. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong ?

   A. King Kong falls in love with a beautiful girl with blonde hair whose name is Ann.

   B. The story was once made into a film 72 years ago.

   C. Now Americans worry about their future in an age of terror, because the new King Kong will be beyond their control.

   D. The story referred to in the passage has been very popular in America.

65. When the artist Dave Dorman ,creator of the cover illustrations for the new King Kong comic books says “Sometimes an ape is just an ape.” , he probably means________.

A. an ape is not as clever as a human being though it is kind-hearted

B. an ape is impossible to control human beings

C. King Kong is a monster that will be under the control of Americans

D. the story has nothing to do with social or political issues
