As a child he collected military toys and his bedroom walls were covered with posters of helicopters and tanks. Despite his youth, the army has always held a special place in his heart.
“There’s no way I am going to sit back home while my boys are out fighting for their country,” he said in an interview to mark his 21st birthday. “That may sound patriotic(爱国的), but it’s true.” Perhaps this shows new strength in him.
Britain’s Defense Ministry announced last week that the 22-year-old Harry would serve a six-month tour of duty in southern Iraq.
Harry said he was “over the moon” and has insisted he wants to be treated the same as any ordinary soldiers.
In Britain, British Prime Minister Tony Blair described Harry’s decision as in keeping with his character. But in Baghdad, Iraqis described it as a public relations move.
小题1: Harry has been the focus of attention in the past few years probably because of________.
A.the identity as a prince of the UK |
B.his bad habits and wrong behavior |
C.his devotion to his country |
D.his preference to the army |
A.taking an interest in military |
B.apologizing for a Nazi uniform |
C.being willing to serve in the army in Iraq |
D.defending Britain against attack |
A.very pleased | B.very sad | C.very frightened | D.very calm |

C.His strong character contributes to his decision |
D.He wants to make up for his wrong actions |
A.patriotic | B.political | C.friendly | D.personal |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:A
小题4:D
小题5:B
解析
小题1:细节理解题。由文章第一段和第七段可知哈利王子过去喜欢穿纳粹人的服装和有酗酒、吸毒的恶习,这正是在最近他成为报纸头条新闻的原因。故答案为B。
小题2:判断作者意图题。由第一段可知,作者所说的哈利王子一个新的优点是他坚持去英国军队服役,与士兵并肩作战。
小题3:词义猜测题。第二段说英国国防部宣布同意哈利王子的请求,当然他会感到高兴,over the moon的意思为“欣喜若狂”。
小题4:可以采用排除法。由第1、4、5段可知,哈利王子多少受到儿时爱好的影响(A项);由倒数第二段可知B项也是原因之一;最后一段Tony Blair指出了哈利王子的决定符合他的性格(B项)。D项内容与文章的整个基调(哈利王子已经成为一个成熟爱国的年轻人)不相符合,故D项符合题意。
小题5:细节理解题。由文章最后一句 “But in Baghdad, Iraqis described it as a public relations move.” 可知伊拉克人认为这是国与国之间公共关系一种措施而已,是政治性的,故答案为 B。

Although Tong failed in his job-hunt, he felt less frustrated after visiting the festival at the invitation of a friend. "It was the first time that I saw so many crazy people gathered together. When the music reached a climax, people kept yelling, jumping and bumping each other. You felt excited even if you weren"t as high as they were," recalled Tong.
Midi, which is held May 1-4, started in 1999 and has grown into China"s largest outdoor music festival. The festival is named after Beijing"s Midi Music School, which started the event. This year"s festival will have 84 bands, 22 of them foreign. It will be held in Haidian Park, northwest Beijing.
Outdoor music festivals have been around for decades in the West. They often stand for a kind of different belief. The Woodstock Festival in the US in 1969 is an example. It took place while the US was involved in the Vietnam war and was used to express young people’s love of peace.
China"s Midi has become a good place for young people as well. "The biggest attraction of Midi is that it is an event for all young people, whether they know rock or not. They can come and have fun together," says Li Wei, a general manager of Beijing Midi Performance Company, the festival organizer.“ Besides,the open environment of an outdoor festival attracts young people. Without the restrictions of seats and walls, people are more likely to relax themselves. There"s often more interaction between the audience and performers.”

Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. It’s not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.
Why hasn’t the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.
A sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.
小题1:According to the text, the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are
appreciated from ______.
A.the bottom of the valleys | B.the top of the mountains |
C.the side of the mountains | D.the edge of the valleys |
visitors because ______.
A.their transport management needs improving |
B.they spend too much on their service systems |
C.their service systems frequently go out of order |
D.they need help from environmental organizations |
A.rundown water pipes | B.overcrowdedness |
C.lack of money | D.narrow roads |
A.an environmental group | B.an information center |
C.a travel service | D.a law firm |
“I’m a doctor and it’s my duty to cure diseases and save live,” said the 77-year- old grandmother. Gao was named one of the 2003 People of Year on February 20 by CCTV after millions of people took part in an online poll. But in 1996, when she started to promote AIDS awareness, using money from her own pocket, her actions were widely misunderstood.
“Although some of the children were born with HIV, 90 percent of them were not infected (被感染),” Gao said. “But people still reject them. Many orphans change their names after finding a foster family (领养家庭).”
The horror of Henan’s AIDS problem became known in 1996. Frequent and unsafe bloodselling by poor farmers in the late 1980s and early1990s had caused HIV to spread through dirty needles and infected blood use. As a doctor, Gao believed she should help: over the last eight years she has visited over 1 000 AIDS and HIV patients and published thousands of pamphlets on AIDS awareness. With her help, hundreds of orphans have returned to school or found foster families.
“It’s a disaster for the whole nation, not only for those innocent (无辜的) patients and their families,” she explained. Gao is delighted that so many childless families offer to foster orphans. But there is still much that can be done to support these children. “I hope that warm-hearted high school students will also reach out and offer a helping hand,” she said.
小题1:The passage mainly talks about _______.
the dangers of AIDS
how the government help those orphans
how Gao Yaojie helped the orphans
the serious AIDS problem in Henan
小题2: Gao Yaojie was named one of the 2003 People of Year because ________.
the government would not answer the children’s cry without her
she used her own money to start to promote AIDS
she is a doctor
she visited over 1 000 AIDS and HIV patients
小题3:The government promised 60 million yuan _______.
to reward Gao Yaojie
to help to treat HIV and AIDS patients
to help the children whose parents died of AIDS
to build new hospitals
There are a number of ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us. First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to gain on our own.
Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings on the newspapers or on TV. Because we are provided with differing points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to comment on all sides of a certain issue.
Third, mass media help us to connect with various groups in society. Through mass media, we are able to keep in contact with politicians in the world; with famous actors and actresses, and with our beloved singers.
Fourth, the media help to socialize us. We learn about the preferred behavior and values from the people we meet as well as from the media. Through portrayals of people, the media tell us what proper behaviors are. By doing so, they teach us standards of behavior and values, and help us in our daily life.
Fifth, the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertisements through the media. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to but them.
Sixth, the media entertain. All of the media make some effort trying to entertain their audience. For example, even though the newspaper is a main medium of information, it also contains entertainment features. Many newspapers offer their readers at least some of the following: comics, fiction books and puzzle games, televisions and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment. It is guessed that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.
小题1:They underlined word “scattered” in paragraph 1 means______.
A.faraway | B.nearly | C.a small number of | D.small and far apart |
A.photograph | B.words | C.description | D.clothes |
A.Mass media have an effect on our speech and thoughts. |
B.Mass media keep us informed and connected. |
C.Mass media persuade us into buying what we don’t need at all. |
D.Mass media help us spend time with others in a friendly way. |
A.entertainment | B.sports | C.famous people | D.advertisements |
A.Mobile phone | B.Computer | C.Radio | D.Television |
I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn’t help very much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help hem succeed in the U.S. she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation was born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents’ country, they will probably feel different from other people there too. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.
We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children understand their background by teaching them the parents’ language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.
小题1:According to the text, what is the problem of the first generation immigrants?
A.They have lost their identity. |
B.Their children are losing their identity. |
C.Their children speak different languages. |
D.They cannot speak their native language. |
A.so that they knew they were of Korean origin |
B.so that they would be more successful in the U.S. |
C.because she didn’t want them to speak English |
D.because she wanted them to respect her |
A.had never been there before | B.behaved quite differently |
C.couldn’t understand the language | D.had different facial appearance |
A. it gives them self-confidence and better chance
B. t makes the second generation love motherland
C. it helps the second generation to understand their parents
D. it strengthens the family ties and reminds them of their identity (BCABD)
