Some of them are o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bvious. Tom is short for Thomas; Sam is short for Samuel. However, there are some nicknames whose origins are more mysterious.
Take the name William (26)_______ an example. It can be shortened to Will, and also Bill. But how does Bill come from William During the Middle Ages, people like to change letters to make names easier to pronounce. For example, a hard consonant (辅音) like B is clearer than soft ones like W. Bill sounds much clearer than Will. Interestingly, the people of England even called King William III, (27)_______ ruled in the 17th century, “King Billy”.
Richard (28)_______(be) a popular name in England for centuries, too. It was commonly shortened to Rich and Rick to save time. Also like the name William, people liked to make rhyming names. So Rick became Dick. This nickname became so popular (29)_______ it is included in an idiom. “Every Tom, Dick or Harry” means everybody!
The (30)_______(popular) name for English kings has been Henry. England has had eight king Henrys. Yet most of them (31)_______(prefer) to be called Harry by the people. It is a tradition still held. British Prince Harry’s real name is Henry. I wonder (32)_______ Harry Potter’s real name is Henry

Something old is (36) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )_______ passed on from the bride’s family. It could be an heirloom（传家宝）that has been in the family for years, or a piece of her mother’s dress. This is meant to show a connection (37)_______ the bride’s family.
Something new ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )brings hope for the future of the couple. It can be the new wedding dress, or new shoes.
Something borrowed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is normally (38)_______ item of clothing or jewelry borrowed from one of the bride’s friends who have a happy marriage. It is believed to bring some of the friend’s luck from her marriage to the bride.
Last is something b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lue, which comes from another rhyme: “Marry in blue, husband be true.” This means that a bride who wears blue (39)_______(have) a faithful husband. It could be on her jewelry or on her shoes.
These days, most bri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )des do not believe that (40)_______(wear) these items will really bring them good luck. However, they wear them anyway in recognition that traditions are important.

But the other four balls---family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and __42___ for balance in your life.
How Don't undermine your worth by ___43__ yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your __44___ by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. ___45__ to them as you would to life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are ___46__ perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's ___47__ to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too __48___; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't run __49___ life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

In subsequent presentations, Pania gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times, transmitting her message to over 40 million people.

After 10 seasons w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earing the No 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
Bryant wore No 24 w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hen he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has not been changed since.
Bryant has r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )efused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.
There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey.Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is“all about money”.Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.
Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.
All this talk has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) turned the number change into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numbe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is the jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O’Neal, and the Houston Rockets’ No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.
Lots of stories are behind players’ jersey number selections. Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45. Jordan’s elder brother wore the No 45 in college. Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
78. Which team has Bryant played for
A. The Los Angeles Lakers. B. The Houston rockets.
C. The Chicago Bulls D. The Miami Heats.
79. When did Bryant start to wear No. 8
A. Since he started to play for the Lakers.
B. For ten seasons.
C. Since he entered high school.
D. Since he left the Lakers.
80. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following is NOT a speculation about Bryant’s motive to change his number, according to this passage
A. He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.
B. He wants to compare himself to Jordan.
C. He wants to earn more money.
D. He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.
81. Why did Jordan choose No. 23
A. Because that number would make him famous.
B. Because that number would make his fans miss him.
C. Because that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )number was related to the number his brother once wore.
D. Because that number was easy to remember.
82. what does the number Yao Ming chose stand for
A. Two long legs. B. Two strong arms.
C. Two people in love. D. Two big countries.

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Well-known in man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y countries, tug-of-war is a sports event with easy rules and a lot of actions. On a grassy field, two teams pull on opposite ends of a rope. The team that can pull the other team to its side of the field wins. Many places have local tug-of-war clubs that compete against each other. An international organization sets the rules of the competition.
If one tug-of- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )war team weighs much more than the other team, then it is easier for the heavier team to win. To keep contests fair, all eight pullers on a team must be weighed. Only teams with similar weights compete against each other.
The thrill of tug-of-w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar has been known for a very long time. In fact, it is one of the world’s oldest events, going back many centuries. Tug-of-war existed in many places in ancient times, including Greece, Egypt, and Korea. At one point it was even included in the Olympic Games. It was introduced into the Olympics in 1900, just four years after the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896 in Greece. It was a part of the Olympics until 1920, when the rope was pulled for the final time as an official Olympic event.
Question:
11. What is the passage mainly about （B）
12. What is done before a contest begins （D）
13. What was the last year that tug-of-war was included in the Olympics (D )
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Corporations as a gro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )up offer all kinds of jobs. Most large companies send people to colleges to meet graduating students with the required academic training. A large university may have more than 500 companies a year knocking on its doors. Big firms are your best place for a job because their normal growth, employee retirements and job vacancies offer thousands of opportunities nationwide each year.
Corporations, however, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) explain the rule that the biggest isn’t always the best. Many small firms with just a few hundred employees have positions that may agree with your profession need, too. Such firms may not have the time, money, or need to send people around to your college; you’ll probably have to get in touch with them yourself either directly or through an employment agency. Don’t look down upon these little companies. Their salaries are usually competitive and the chances for advancement and recognition are even stronger than those of a big firm. You could become a big fish in a small pond, reaching a high-level position more quickly than you would if you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a group giant.
Questions:
14. Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following is true for large corporations ( B )
15. Which of the following is true for small firms ( A )
16. With whom is the passage most probably connected ( C )

Some of them are o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bvious. Tom is short for Thomas; Sam is short for Samuel. However, there are some nicknames whose origins are more mysterious.
Take the name William (26)_______ an example. It can be shortened to Will, and also Bill. But how does Bill come from William During the Middle Ages, people like to change letters to make names easier to pronounce. For example, a hard consonant (辅音) like B is clearer than soft ones like W. Bill sounds much clearer than Will. Interestingly, the people of England even called King William III, (27)_______ ruled in the 17th century, “King Billy”.
Richard (28)_______(be) a popular name in England for centuries, too. It was commonly shortened to Rich and Rick to save time. Also like the name William, people liked to make rhyming names.

In subsequent presentations, Pania gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times, transmitting her message to over 40 million people.

After 10 seasons w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earing the No 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
Bryant wore No 24 w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hen he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has not been changed since.
Bryant has r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )efused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.
There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey.Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is“all about money”.Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.
Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.
All this talk has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) turned the number change into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numbe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is the jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O’Neal, and the Houston Rockets’ No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.
Lots of stories are behind players’ jersey number selections. Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45. Jordan’s elder brother wore the No 45 in college. Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
78. Which team has Bryant played for
A. The Los Angeles Lakers. B. The Houston rockets.
C. The Chicago Bulls D. The Miami Heats.
79. When did Bryant start to wear No. 8
A. Since he started to play for the Lakers.
B. For ten seasons.
C. Since he entered high school.
D. Since he left the Lakers.
80. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following is NOT a speculation about Bryant’s motive to change his number, according to this passage
A. He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.
B. He wants to compare himself to Jordan.
C. He wants to earn more money.
D. He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.
81. Why did Jordan choose No. 23
A. Because that number would make him famous.
B. Because that number would make his fans miss him.
C. Because that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )number was related to the number his brother once wore.
D. Because that number was easy to remember.
82. what does the number Yao Ming chose stand for
A. Two long legs. B. Two strong arms.
C. Two people in love. D. Two big countries.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Well-known in man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y countries, tug-of-war is a sports event with easy rules and a lot of actions. On a grassy field, two teams pull on opposite ends of a rope. The team that can pull the other team to its side of the field wins. Many places have local tug-of-war clubs that compete against each other. An international organization sets the rules of the competition.
If one tug-of- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )war team weighs much more than the other team, then it is easier for the heavier team to win. To keep contests fair, all eight pullers on a team must be weighed. Only teams with similar weights compete against each other.
The thrill of tug-of-w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar has been known for a very long time. In fact, it is one of the world’s oldest events, going back many centuries. Tug-of-war existed in many places in ancient times, including Greece, Egypt, and Korea. At one point it was even included in the Olympic Games. It was introduced into the Olympics in 1900, just four years after the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896 in Greece. It was a part of the Olympics until 1920, when the rope was pulled for the final time as an official Olympic event.
Question:
11. What is the passage mainly about （B）
12. What is done before a contest begins （D）
13. What was the last year that tug-of-war was included in the Olympics (D )
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Corporations as a gro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )up offer all kinds of jobs. Most large companies send people to colleges to meet graduating students with the required academic training. A large university may have more than 500 companies a year knocking on its doors. Big firms are your best place for a job because their normal growth, employee retirements and job vacancies offer thousands of opportunities nationwide each year.
Corporations, however, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) explain the rule that the biggest isn’t always the best. Many small firms with just a few hundred employees have positions that may agree with your profession need, too. Such firms may not have the time, money, or need to send people around to your college; you’ll probably have to get in touch with them yourself either directly or through an employment agency. Don’t look down upon these little companies. Their salaries are usually competitive and the chances for advancement and recognition are even stronger than those of a big firm. You could become a big fish in a small pond, reaching a high-level position more quickly than you would if you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a group giant.
Questions:
14. Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following is true for large corporations ( B )
15. Which of the following is true for small firms ( A )
16. With whom is the passage most probably connected ( C )
Section C
