A
Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation(声誉)for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editors are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.
46. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself __________.
A. a serious newspaper B. foreign newspaper
C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper
47. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for _________ years.
A. 19 B. 85 C. 221 D. 229
48. The Times is an independent paper because __________.
A. it supports no political parties
B .it is not controlled by the British Government
C. it gives special support to all the political parties
D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper

HOLLYWOOD(UPI)--- Loni Anderson decided last year it was time to change her career around to play mums and comedy instead of pretty young girls.
So far most people remember her a Jennifer Marlowe, the role she played in her first film in 1982.
This summer people will see Anderson in A Night as Rarbury, a film produced and directed by Amy Heckerlin.
“In the film I have two sons. One is 26, the other is 30. Isn’t that interesting I know I don’t like that old, but that’s so fun about it.”
“My character dresses in clothes too short too tight. Dan Hedaya plays my husband. We’re couple with a lot of money and no taste. Our sons are complete idiots. Their purposes in life is to get into the Rich Young Man Club where everybody is proud of his wealth.
“As you can tell, I’m doing things I’d never have done at the beginning of my career.”
“But I am who I am. I’ve worked as an actress a long time and now I can be anything I want. It’s a great time for me. I don’t have anything to prove.”
“I hadn’t done comedy in a long time. It’s what I do best and what I like best. At this point in my life I want to look a little foolish. I think that would be something new for me.”
51. What had Loni Anderson probably played most in her past film career

C. Foolish persons D. Rich women
52. When did she begin to be an actress

C
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the greatest resources of the English Language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Strat for Avon, and that he died there in 1616. He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town, but of this we can not be sure. We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children. We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces(杰作). But this is almost all that we do know.
However, what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its incidental details but its products, the plays and the poems. For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics(批评) have been theorizing(使理论化) about the plays. Sometimes, indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
Fortunately this is not likely to happen. Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.
56. This passage is about________.
A. the great length of each chapter
B. the great varieties in writing styles
C. the richness of the content in Shakespeare’s works
D. the rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works
57. According to the writer, which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare
A. His date of birth B. His marriage
C. His life in the Grammar School D. His date of death
58. It can be inferred from Para.3 that _________.
A. not all the comments on Shakespeare’s works have produced good effects.
B. Scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare’s life
C. Critics are more interested in Shakespeare’s plays than his poetry
D. The details of Shakespeare’s life are more important than his literary works
59. What does the last sentence in Para 3 mean
A. People don’t think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.
B. People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.
C. People can’t see the poetry of Shakespeare any more
D. The comment is printed upon the poetry of Shakespeare.
60. “Shakespeare’s people” in Para 4 refers to _______.
A. the characters in Shakespeare’s products
B. the people whose native language is English
C. the people living in Shakespeare’s day
D. the readers of Shakespeare’s works

People can know what has happened in our country or in the world by watching TV. TV can help people to open their eyes and their minds. It can also help people to learn newer and better ways of doing things. Some people said,” TV is a wonderful thing. It makes the whole world smaller.”
