Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low that you can see their underwear What do you think of that Fashionable Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the centre of an argument in Italian middle schools.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low- rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip, when he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide(滑) to his feet. He" pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate(辩论) among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the head teacher’s request will limit students' freedom or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual (随意的).
A parents' group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion.
"We do not want to kick fashion out," the headmaster explained, "but extremes(极端) of fashion like this are not right in school." Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
Most students have simply ignored(忽略)the request. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf.
Another 14-year-old girl said she should probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons. "I don't really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans," said Sarah Lattanzi. "In winter, when dressed like that, it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache."
60. What led to the argument in Italian middle schools
A. Students' craze for fashion.
B. Clothes that are too exposing.
C. Students ignore dress codes.
D. Students' underwear.
61. Which of the following supports the headmaster's request
A. Fashion should be taken seriously.
B. Fashion should not be followed in school.
C. Students should have their freedom in choosing what they wear.
D. Students should be encouraged to have good taste in clothes.
62. The argument against the headmaster's request is that _________.
A. schools should pay attention to things more important than students' clothes
B. fashion should not be followed in school
C. dress in Italian schools is too casual
D. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngster's Health
63. The purpose of this story is to _________.
A. show Chinese students that wearing very fashionable clothes in school is under attack in other countries, too
B. show that dress code is necessary even in a country like Italy
C. tell us that a debate started in Italian middle schools over the way students dress in school
D. let us see that Italian students react differently to schools' requests
C
If seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humorists once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it
Taking all amateur (业余) and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated (起源于) in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or "association football" , it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.
The next is rugby, which is called "football" in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.
In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.
Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.
Table tennis, or "ping-pong", surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.
64. The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English _________.
A. are all sports lovers
B. behave like children
C. like to kick a ball around
D. can remain young all their lives
65. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby
A. They differ in the shape of the ball.
B. They are played by different numbers of players.
C. They both can be handled.
D. They both can be kicked.
66. The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is __________.
A. basketball B. tennis C. rugby D. football
67. What would be the best title for this passage
A. The Most Popular Sports
B. The English Sports
C. History of Sports
D. Sports in Britain

If you could travel anywhere you wanted this winter, where would you go Would you ski in the mountains, visit friends in another state, or lie on a beach somewhere Or would you rather take a rocket into space
The last choice might not be as far off as you think. A few of companies are designing rockets, testing engines, and building electronic systems to make spaceships that would take people on the trip to the moon every day.
Already, several astronauts have flown into space in a privately-built spaceship. On Sept. 29, Mike Melvill flied the Spaceship One to a height of 64 miles above Earth's surface.
"I strongly feel that, if we are successful, our program will mark the beginning of a renaissance (复兴) for manned space flight," Burr Rutan says. He leads the company that built the Spaceship One.
"We need space travel to interest our youth, to let them know that they can try their dreams, can set goals and lead all of us to future step in exploration (探险), discovery, and fun," Rutan says.
"We're trying to encourage kids to get into science and technology," Rutan says. "There's a kid in 10th or 9th grade now, and he's going to be the first one to go to Mars. It would be really cool if he was interested by us."
"I think we'll see people buying tickets in the next 3 to 5 years," Rutan says. The rides won't be cheap, however.
Although you can't make it this winter, maybe you could celebrate your birthday in space. Start saving your pennies now!
68. The main idea of the passage probably is that _________.
A. there is a need to make the kids become interested in traveling in space in the future
B. some companies tried to make youth become interested in science and technology by space traveling
C. the government doesn't give support to the space travel developed by some companies
D. the Spaceship One built by some companies will be the first to go to Mars
69. According to Burt Rutan, the following statements are all the reasons for building the Spaceship One EXCEPT _________.
A. encouraging kids to get into science and technology
B. making kids know they can try their dreams
C. getting kids to set goals to discover and explore
D. getting kids to be the first to go to Mars
70. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage
A. Reach for the sky. B. Spaceship One to Mars.
C. Traveling on the Moon. D. The first privately-built spaceship.
71. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Some companies tried to develop space travel without the help of government.
B. You can celebrate your birthday on Mars in the future if you save pennies now.
C. Spaceship One has already succeeded in taking some astronauts into space.
D. A kid in 10th or 9th grade at present may be the first one to go to Mars.

King Kong is a movie about an adventure on an island called Skull, where an oversized gorilla (大猩猩) named Kong falls in love with a blonde beauty.
It has been 72 years since the story was first brought to the screen. But the latest movie version is a box office hit (卖座影片) in the USA. Every 10-year-old boy knows Kong, and his image is used to sell everything from insurance (保险) to snacks.
The film follows New York actress Ann Darrow, who was going to act as a leading lady in a movie. She was taken to the Skull Island, where she was caught by the Aboriginals, Who wanted to sacrifice her to King Kong, a gorilla. But instead of eating Ann, King Kong saved her. He was captured and dragged back to New York. There he burst free and climbed the Empire State Building in search of Ann.
Why did King Kong appear in 1933 And why is, he back now
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, the biographer of Charlie Chaplin
Now, once again, Americans worry about their future in an age of terror, threatened by the presence of at-Qaida (基地组织).
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 a social or political symbol," says artist Dave Dorman, creator of the cover illustrations for the new King Kong comic books. "Sometimes an ape is just an ape."
72. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the movie
A. The movie called King Kong appeared 72 years ago.
B. The latest King Kong movie is very popular in the USA.
C. The movie is not well received by American girls.
D. The image of King Kong can be seen on many products.
73. Ann Darrow was taken to the Skull Island because__________.
A. she was attractive
B. she had been followed
C. movie makers wanted to sacrifice her to King Kong
D. she was needed in a movie
74. King Kong climbed the Empire State Building __________.
A. to look for Ann
B. just for fun
C. to enjoy the sight of New York
D. to capture the movie makers
75. What is Dave Dorman's opinion about King Kong's popularity
A. King Kong reflects American workers' feelings.
B. The movie is only a made-up story.
C. Americans doubt their future in an age of terror.

W: But that's two months away. You've still got lots of time.
M: Not really. You see, I've finished all the research, and I've just about organized all my notes, but it will take me almost two months to type them.
W: Well, if that's your only problem, I can type your paper in less than two weeks.
Text Ten
There's a holiday next week and I can't decide what to do. I have a lot of work to do at home, and this would be a good chance to do it. But I'd rather not spend the holiday that way. I can work at home all the rest of the year.
Last year I went north to the mountains. Everything was beautiful, but it is too cold this time of year. And it's really too far to go for a short holiday. I have decided that this is not a good time to go to the mountains. But I do want to go some place.
Perhaps this would be a good chance to go to the beach. I like to go for walks along the seashore in the warm sunshine and watch the water. It's only about eighty miles and I could get there in about two hours. After thinking the it over, I'm sure that this is a better time for the seashore than the mountains. I guess I'll plan to go to the beach next week.
Oh, here's a letter from Jim. He says he is going to his house in the mountains for the holiday, and he wants me to go with him. After giving it some more thought, I guess it wasn't really too cold last year, and perhaps it might rain at the seashore and then I wouldn't enjoy it at all. The mountains are only 300 miles away. I think I'll write to Jim right now and tell him I'll go with him.
