2.Read the passage to deal with the exercises on p42
Reading comprehension:
A
A few days ago, he was just Colonel Yang, few people knew his name or recognized his face. But when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space. Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words:“China’s first spaceman.”
The 38-years-old astronaut was sent into space by China’s Shenzhou V spacecraft, which orbited the third earth 14 times. He landed safely the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
Yang was satisfied with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful,” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.
Born in an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1350 hours in the air. He joined the China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home.
The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk.
He experienced extremely high temperature while the gravitational forces on taking off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
“ When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited ,” he said.“I decided that I had to fly it.”
To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visit to Xinhua news agency online forum(網上論壇)said,“Yang’s trip is a giant leap forward for China.”
Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005. China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab.
36.What does the word“Colonel” mean?
A. Scientist B. Researcher C. Officer D. Professor
37. When did Yang Liwei become a spaceman?
A. In 1987 B. In 1998 C. In 1965 C. In 1985
38. Yang Liwei thought .
A. the space scenery is beautiful
B. the space exploration is not easy
C. the space exploration is quite easy for him
D. he was sure that he could come back alive
39. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Yang Liwei Is a Hero
B. China’s First Spaceman
C. A Giant Leap for China
D. China Plans to Develop a Space Lab

A good modern newspaper is extraordinary piece of reading . It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特定)as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(時事性)，its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now, But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it means also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暫的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
40. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its .
A. wide coverage B. uniform style
C. speed in reporting news D. popularity
41. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that .
A. people scan for the news they are interested in
B. different people prefer different newspapers
C. people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D. people have different views about what a good newspaper is
42. It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers .
A. apply reading techniques skillfully
B. jump from one newspaper to another
C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D. usually read a newspaper selectively
43. A good newspaper offers “ a variety” to readers because .
A. it tries to serve different readers
B. it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality
C. readers are difficult to please
D. readers like to read different newspapers

Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear sir/ Madam.
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When We WERE 12 ,and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful ?I found he old news pictures really interesting---they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself( this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket . I held out my hand with the money in it----one big coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home----- I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes”. I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels
44. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?
A.To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B.To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C.To express his appreciation of the programme.
D.To have his story told on the programme
45. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to .
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
46. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket
B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds
D. he missed the bus home
47. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then
B. He should have been well treated
C. He regrets going to school alone
D. He wishes it hadn’t happened
D
In some magazines, tables of contents list articles in numerical order. The football article begins on page 5, the basketball article begins on page 7, the football story begins on page 13,and so on.
Other magazine tables of contents are organized by subjects, by columns and by features. Subjects are the topics covered in the articles. A feature is a specific kind of article, such as an article about sports or about cooking “Feature” also has another meaning. A “regular feature” is something that appears in every issue(期)， such as letters to the editors, movie reviews, sports statistics(統計) and other things. Some magazines also call regular features “departments”.
Columns are another kind of “regular feature” published in every issue. Columns are often written by the same person each time. A person who writes columns is called a columnist!
Most magazine tables of contents will also give you an idea of what a story is about. Look at the sample (example) below.

A few days ago, he was just Colonel Yang, few people knew his name or recognized his face. But when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space. Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words:“China’s first spaceman.”
The 38-years-old astronaut was sent into space by China’s Shenzhou V spacecraft, which orbited the third earth 14 times. He landed safely the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
Yang was satisfied with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful,” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.
Born in an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1350 hours in the air. He joined the China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home.
The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk.
He experienced extremely high temperature while the gravitational forces on taking off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
“ When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited ,” he said.“I decided that I had to fly it.”
To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visit to Xinhua news agency online forum(網上論壇)said,“Yang’s trip is a giant leap forward for China.”
Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005. China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab.
36.What does the word“Colonel” mean?
A. Scientist B. Researcher C. Officer D. Professor
37. When did Yang Liwei become a spaceman?
A. In 1987 B. In 1998 C. In 1965 C. In 1985

B. the space exploration is not easy
C. the space exploration is quite easy for him
D. he was sure that he could come back alive

A. Yang Liwei Is a Hero
B. China’s First Spaceman
C. A Giant Leap for China
D. China Plans to Develop a Space Lab

A good modern newspaper is extraordinary piece of reading . It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特定)as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(時事性)，its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now, But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it means also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暫的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
40. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its .
A. wide coverage B. uniform style
C. speed in reporting news D. popularity
41. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that .
A. people scan for the news they are interested in
B. different people prefer different newspapers
C. people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D. people have different views about what a good newspaper is
42. It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers .
A. apply reading techniques skillfully
B. jump from one newspaper to another
C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D. usually read a newspaper selectively
43. A good newspaper offers “ a variety” to readers because .
A. it tries to serve different readers
B. it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality
C. readers are difficult to please
D. readers like to read different newspapers

Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear sir/ Madam.
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When We WERE 12 ,and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful ?I found he old news pictures really interesting---they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself( this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket . I held out my hand with the money in it----one big coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home----- I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes”. I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels
44. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?
E.To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
F.To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
G.To express his appreciation of the programme.
H.To have his story told on the programme
45. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to .
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
46. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket
B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds
D. he missed the bus home
47. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then
B. He should have been well treated
C. He regrets going to school alone
D. He wishes it hadn’t happened
D
In some magazines, tables of contents list articles in numerical order. The football article begins on page 5, the basketball article begins on page 7, the football story begins on page 13,and so on.
Other magazine tables of contents are organized by subjects, by columns and by features. Subjects are the topics covered in the articles. A feature is a specific kind of article, such as an article about sports or about cooking “Feature” also has another meaning. A “regular feature” is something that appears in every issue(期)， such as letters to the editors, movie reviews, sports statistics(統計) and other things. Some magazines also call regular features “departments”.
Columns are another kind of “regular feature” published in every issue. Columns are often written by the same person each time. A person who writes columns is called a columnist!
Most magazine tables of contents will also give you an idea of what a story is about. Look at the sample (example) below.
