Royal Korea on TV
Maybe you have seen a lot of Chinese television dramas talking about things that happened to royal families in ancient China. But do you know our neighbour, South Korea, actually has a similar royal history to ours?
Now as the television hit “Dse Jang Geum” (大长今)，also known as “Jewel in the palace”, arrives in China, you can take a good look at the people, buildings and food in ancient Korea.
Seo Jang-Geum, played by Lee Young-Ae, is a true figure from history.Jang Geum is a beautiful and clever girl born in a low class family. She enters the royal palace at ten and works very hard.
In the time when women had no respect in society, Jang-Geum manages to become very
important in the palace.
But one day she falls into a conspiracy (阴谋) and is kicked out of the palace. But she doesn’t stop here. She studies medicine and re-enters the palace. She finally becomes the supreme royal doctor. She is the first woman doctor in Korean history to serve the king.
Her iron-strong will is the key to her success as she is always troubled by many difficulties.
During its run in Sorth Korea the show received over 50% of the ratings share (收视率), the highest in Korean television history. It was also a big hit with audiences in Hong kong and Taiwan.
Special foods
The TV drama contains a lot of tips about how to make good royal dishes. How much do you know about food in Korea?
Kimchi
Everyone in Korea eats kimchi almost every day! It is a hot, fermented (发酵的) dish made up of cabbages seasoned (给……调味) with salt, garlic, green onions, ginger, red pepper and shellfish.
It is low in calories and very high in fibre. In fact, it is richer in vitamins than apples. We all know “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But in Korea,perhaps people would say “Some kimchi a day keeps the doctor away”.
Bulgogi
The word bulgogi is translated as Korean barbecue. It literally means “fire meat” as bul is “fire” and gogi is “meat”.
The meat is put in a special sauce before it is cooked over a charcoal grill（烤架）, usually at the table. In some restaurants, bulgogi is cooked on a round pan heated by charcoal or gas.
61.The TV show“Dae Jang Geum”is about .
A. the success story of Seo Jang-Geum B. Korean special foods
C. the history of South Korea D .the life of the Korean Palace
62.The underlined sentence “Some kimchi a day keeps the doctor away” means .
A. Kimchi is very important in the life of Koreans
B. Kimchi is a famous doctor
C. Kimchi tries to keep the doctor away
D. Kimchi is a kind of effective medicine
63.The main idea of this passage is .
A. to introduce Lee Young-Ae
B. to introduce the TV drama “Dae Jang Geum”
C. to introduce the similarity between ancient Chinese.
D. to introduce the similarity between ancient Chinese royal families and Korean families
B.
Recently the Department of Planning of New York issued a report which laid a full scale of change of the city. In 1970, 18 percent of the city’s population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had risen to 33 percent, and another 20 percent was the US-born offsprings of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form a majority of the city’s population.
Who are these New Yorkers? Why do they come here? Where are they from? (OK, time to drop the “they”. I’m one of them.) The last question at least is easy to answer:we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 source nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and the former Soviet Union.And when we immigrants get here we roll up our sleeves. “If you’re not ready to work when you get to New York,” says a friend of mine, “You’d better hit the road.”
The mayor of New York once said, “Immigration continues to shape the unique character and drive the economic engine of New York City.” He believes that immigrants are at the heart of what makes New York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of “unity” that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century
since 1970, the United States admitted about 12.5million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations.Since these immigrants are purposeful and hard-working, they will help America to make a fresh start in the next century.
64. The report issued by the Department of planning of New York .
A. put forward ways to control New York’s population
B. concerned itself with the growth of New York’s population
C. studied the structure of New York’s population
D. suggested ways to increase New York’s population
65. Most New Yorkers are .
A. natives of New York B. natives of the United States
C. from Asia D. immigrants and their children
66. Which of the following is true of the immigrants in New York?
A. One cannot find his place in New York unless he is ready to work
B. They found life in New York harder than in their own countries.
C. Most of them have difficulty finding jobs
D. One can live on welfare if he does not want to work.
67. “Youd better hit the road” in paragraph 2 means .
A. you’d better go to the road B. you’d better get hit on the road
C. you’d better leave here D. you’d better leave the road
68. In the third paragraph,?“Immigrants are at the heart of what makes New York great” is most similar in meaning to .
A. immigrants are one more factor in making New York great
B. immigrants are the most important factor for the greatness of New York
C. immigrants are the biggest trouble for New York
D. immigrants form an obstacle to the development of New York
C
Like a living organism, a language has an unbroken history which goes back so far in time that scholars are not able to find its origin. Every language is part of a specific linguistic family, which in turn is part of a larger linguistic family. People who speak English, for example,are often surprised to learn that it is a member of the Germanic language family and that, ultimately, it is part of a much larter group of languges called the Indo-European family. This latter family is the largest linguistic(语言的) family on the globe, making up the chief languages of Europe together with Indo-Iranian and other Asiatic tongues.
Thus, Modern English is distantly related to many languages, among them Russian, Iranian, and Greek. In vocabulary, a large percentage of English words come from French and Latin; English is more closely related in grammar, however, to Dutch, German, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic.
Unfortunately, the fact that one’s native language is related to another language doesn’t help a great deal when one starrts to learn the other language. Even though languages such as English and Dutch are closely related and are quite similar in some respects, still each one actually operates in a system of its own. Each system includes the particular sounds, stresses, and intonaton patterns that are used by speakers of that system. Each language has its own strict grammatical rules suiting to the ways words are formed and put together in sentences. And each language determines the meanings which words may have in given situations.
When one is working hard to learn a language, its grammatical rules may seem vey strict, but actually the rules do permit slight variations that do not make a great deal of difference in meaning or seriously interfere (干涉) with the efficiency of communicaton. When variations of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation accumulate through the centuries, however, languages within a single language family become quite different from one another. Such changes also account for the development within a particular language. For instance, if a student were to read or hear the English that was used in the nineteenth century, he would realize that pronunciation and grammar
have changed somewhat since that time. He would also note how vocabulary has changed, as well as grown.
69. The earliest origin of a language .
A. goes back to the previous century B. is at a time of its unbroken hisstory
C. can’t be found in its family D is hard to be found
70. make up the largest linguistic family in the world
A. The Indo-European languages B. The Germanic languages
C. The Indo-Iranian languages D. The Asiatic languages
71.Which of the following groups of languages is not related to modern English?
A. Norwegian,Swedish,Dutch. B. Russian,Greek,Iranian
C. Hindi,Persian,Portuguese D. Chinese,Japanese,Arabic.
72. Languages within a single language family .
A. actually originated from different language families
B. always remain similar to one another
C. will get into one univrsal language
D. may become very different from one another.
D.
Bacteria（细菌）may enter the body through a break in the skin or by means of the nose, mouth, and throat. Bacteria are almost everything. Once bacteria are in the body, they double rapidly. They produce poisonous substances called toxings (毒素) and often cause destruction of body tissues. Some bacterial are tuberculosis (肺结核), diphtheria (白喉) , pneumonia (肺炎) , tetanus, and typhoid fever.
Bacteria causing these diseases may be transmitted dy coughing and smeering, by articles used by the patient, by dust particles, by insects, by polluted water or milk, by human cariers, or by direct contact.
Diseases are caused by viruses. Viruses live in the cells of the body of the host. They cannot live outside of a living thing. They are difficult to study because they are very small in size and because they cannot be grown in ordinary culture media. The fact that viruses multiply in certain tissue cultures and in living chick embryos (胚胎) makes possible laboratory study of these substances.
Viruses may enter the body in a number of ways. Once they have gained entry,they seem to take over the entire metabolism (新陈代谢) of a cell. They multiply rapidly and very soon the cell membrane may break and liberate several hundred new virus particles.
A number of different strains of viruses are known to cause poliomyelitis children are more likely to contract polio (脑膜炎) than adults. We still are not sure how the polio viruses are spread and how they get into the body. Common sense rules of health and hygiene should be praciced for protection against these viruses. Keep hands and food clean, do not get overtired or cold, and see a doctor if signs of the illness appear. The signs include fever, headache, and a stiff neck.
73. How do bacteria enter the body?
A. They enter the body only by means of the nose, mouth, and throat.
B. They enter the body through a break in the skin, but not by means of the nose, mouth, and throat.
C. They enter the body through the nose, mouth, and throat, or a break in the skin.
D. They enter the body because of a break in skin or an illness in the nose, mouth, and throat.
74. If you directly contact a patient very often, .
A. bacteria certainly will be transmitted into your body
B. bacteria cannot enter your body
C. bacteria will come out of your body
D. bacteria may enter your body
75. Scientists can do laboratory study of the substances because _____________ .
A. viruses disappear in certain tissue cultures and in living chick embryos
B. viruses double in all tissue cultures and in living chick embryos
C. viruses fight with each other in certain tissue cultures and in living chick embryos
D. viruses increase in certain tissue cultures and in living chick embryos
76. to cause poliomyelitis.
A. A lot of various viuses are known
B. The number of different strains of viruses is known
C. No one knows about the viruses that are known
D. A small number of viruses are said

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery.What we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other, and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds,and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn.to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly.
77. Which of the following statenents is true?
A. The more we read and learn,the more ignorant we are.
B. The more we read and learn,the more confused we will be.
C. The more we read and learn,the more learned we are.
D. The more we read and learn,the more selfish we become.
78. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that .
A they could agree upon certain signs B. they could write them down
C. they could commumicate with each other D. they could combine them.
79.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The mystery and power of words. B. The invention and power of words.
C. The functions of words. D. Both A and B.
80. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?
A. He is no more than a master of words.
B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
C. He can move men to tears.
D. His style is always charming

Royal Korea on TV
Maybe you have seen a lot of Chinese television dramas talking about things that happened to royal families in ancient China. But do you know our neighbour, South Korea, actually has a similar royal history to ours?
Now as the television hit “Dse Jang Geum” (大长今)，also known as “Jewel in the palace”, arrives in China, you can take a good look at the people, buildings and food in ancient Korea.
Seo Jang-Geum, played by Lee Young-Ae, is a true figure from history.Jang Geum is a beautiful and clever girl born in a low class family. She enters the royal palace at ten and works very hard.
In the time when women had no respect in society, Jang-Geum manages to become very
important in the palace.
But one day she falls into a conspiracy (阴谋) and is kicked out of the palace. But she doesn’t stop here. She studies medicine and re-enters the palace. She finally becomes the supreme royal doctor. She is the first woman doctor in Korean history to serve the king.
Her iron-strong will is the key to her success as she is always troubled by many difficulties.
During its run in Sorth Korea the show received over 50% of the ratings share (收视率), the highest in Korean television history. It was also a big hit with audiences in Hong kong and Taiwan.
Special foods
The TV drama contains a lot of tips about how to make good royal dishes. How much do you know about food in Korea?
Kimchi
Everyone in Korea eats kimchi almost every day! It is a hot, fermented (发酵的) dish made up of cabbages seasoned (给……调味) with salt, garlic, green onions, ginger, red pepper and shellfish.
It is low in calories and very high in fibre. In fact, it is richer in vitamins than apples. We all know “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But in Korea,perhaps people would say “Some kimchi a day keeps the doctor away”.
Bulgogi
The word bulgogi is translated as Korean barbecue. It literally means “fire meat” as bul is “fire” and gogi is “meat”.
The meat is put in a special sauce before it is cooked over a charcoal grill（烤架）, usually at the table. In some restaurants, bulgogi is cooked on a round pan heated by charcoal or gas.
61.The TV show“Dae Jang Geum”is about .
A. the success story of Seo Jang-Geum B. Korean special foods
C. the history of South Korea D .the life of the Korean Palace
62.The underlined sentence “Some kimchi a day keeps the doctor away” means .

Recently the Department of Planning of New York issued a report which laid a full scale of change of the city. In 1970, 18 percent of the city’s population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had risen to 33 percent, and another 20 percent was the US-born offsprings of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form a majority of the city’s population.
Who are these New Yorkers? Why do they come here? Where are they from? (OK, time to drop the “they”. I’m one of them.) The last question at least is easy to answer:we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 source nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and the former Soviet Union.And when we immigrants get here we roll up our sleeves. “If you’re not ready to work when you get to New York,” says a friend of mine, “You’d better hit the road.”
The mayor of New York once said, “Immigration continues to shape the unique character and drive the economic engine of New York City.” He believes that immigrants are at the heart of what makes New York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of “unity” that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century
since 1970, the United States admitted about 12.5million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations.Since these immigrants are purposeful and hard-working, they will help America to make a fresh start in the next century.
64. The report issued by the Department of planning of New York .
A. put forward ways to control New York’s population
B. concerned itself with the growth of New York’s population
C. studied the structure of New York’s population
D. suggested ways to increase New York’s population
65. Most New Yorkers are .
A. natives of New York B. natives of the United States
C. from Asia D. immigrants and their children
66. Which of the following is true of the immigrants in New York?
A. One cannot find his place in New York unless he is ready to work
B. They found life in New York harder than in their own countries.
C. Most of them have difficulty finding jobs
D. One can live on welfare if he does not want to work.
67. “Youd better hit the road” in paragraph 2 means .
A. you’d better go to the road B. you’d better get hit on the road
C. you’d better leave here D. you’d better leave the road
68. In the third paragraph,?“Immigrants are at the heart of what makes New York great” is most similar in meaning to .
A. immigrants are one more factor in making New York great
B. immigrants are the most important factor for the greatness of New York
C. immigrants are the biggest trouble for New York
D. immigrants form an obstacle to the development of New York
C
Like a living organism, a language has an unbroken history which goes back so far in time that scholars are not able to find its origin. Every language is part of a specific linguistic family, which in turn is part of a larger linguistic family. People who speak English, for example,are often surprised to learn that it is a member of the Germanic language family and that, ultimately, it is part of a much larter group of languges called the Indo-European family. This latter family is the largest linguistic(语言的) family on the globe, making up the chief languages of Europe together with Indo-Iranian and other Asiatic tongues.
Thus, Modern English is distantly related to many languages, among them Russian, Iranian, and Greek. In vocabulary, a large percentage of English words come from French and Latin; English is more closely related in grammar, however, to Dutch, German, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic.
Unfortunately, the fact that one’s native language is related to another language doesn’t help a great deal when one starrts to learn the other language. Even though languages such as English and Dutch are closely related and are quite similar in some respects, still each one actually operates in a system of its own. Each system includes the particular sounds, stresses, and intonaton patterns that are used by speakers of that system. Each language has its own strict grammatical rules suiting to the ways words are formed and put together in sentences. And each language determines the meanings which words may have in given situations.
When one is working hard to learn a language, its grammatical rules may seem vey strict, but actually the rules do permit slight variations that do not make a great deal of difference in meaning or seriously interfere (干涉) with the efficiency of communicaton. When variations of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation accumulate through the centuries, however, languages within a single language family become quite different from one another. Such changes also account for the development within a particular language. For instance, if a student were to read or hear the English that was used in the nineteenth century, he would realize that pronunciation and grammar
have changed somewhat since that time. He would also note how vocabulary has changed, as well as grown.
69. The earliest origin of a language .
A. goes back to the previous century B. is at a time of its unbroken hisstory
C. can’t be found in its family D is hard to be found
70. make up the largest linguistic family in the world
A. The Indo-European languages B. The Germanic languages
C. The Indo-Iranian languages D. The Asiatic languages
71.Which of the following groups of languages is not related to modern English?
A. Norwegian,Swedish,Dutch. B. Russian,Greek,Iranian
C. Hindi,Persian,Portuguese D. Chinese,Japanese,Arabic.
72. Languages within a single language family .
A. actually originated from different language families
B. always remain similar to one another
C. will get into one univrsal language
D. may become very different from one another.
D.
Bacteria（细菌）may enter the body through a break in the skin or by means of the nose, mouth, and throat. Bacteria are almost everything. Once bacteria are in the body, they double rapidly. They produce poisonous substances called toxings (毒素) and often cause destruction of body tissues. Some bacterial are tuberculosis (肺结核), diphtheria (白喉) , pneumonia (肺炎) , tetanus, and typhoid fever.
Bacteria causing these diseases may be transmitted dy coughing and smeering, by articles used by the patient, by dust particles, by insects, by polluted water or milk, by human cariers, or by direct contact.
Diseases are caused by viruses. Viruses live in the cells of the body of the host. They cannot live outside of a living thing. They are difficult to study because they are very small in size and because they cannot be grown in ordinary culture media. The fact that viruses multiply in certain tissue cultures and in living chick embryos (胚胎) makes possible laboratory study of these substances.
Viruses may enter the body in a number of ways. Once they have gained entry,they seem to take over the entire metabolism (新陈代谢) of a cell. They multiply rapidly and very soon the cell membrane may break and liberate several hundred new virus particles.
A number of different strains of viruses are known to cause poliomyelitis children are more likely to contract polio (脑膜炎) than adults. We still are not sure how the polio viruses are spread and how they get into the body. Common sense rules of health and hygiene should be praciced for protection against these viruses. Keep hands and food clean, do not get overtired or cold, and see a doctor if signs of the illness appear. The signs include fever, headache, and a stiff neck.
73. How do bacteria enter the body?
A. They enter the body only by means of the nose, mouth, and throat.
B. They enter the body through a break in the skin, but not by means of the nose, mouth, and throat.
C. They enter the body through the nose, mouth, and throat, or a break in the skin.
D. They enter the body because of a break in skin or an illness in the nose, mouth, and throat.
74. If you directly contact a patient very often, .
A. bacteria certainly will be transmitted into your body
B. bacteria cannot enter your body
C. bacteria will come out of your body
D. bacteria may enter your body
75. Scientists can do laboratory study of the substances because _____________ .
A. viruses disappear in certain tissue cultures and in living chick embryos
B. viruses double in all tissue cultures and in living chick embryos
C. viruses fight with each other in certain tissue cultures and in living chick embryos

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery.What we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other, and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds,and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn.to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly.
77. Which of the following statenents is true?
A. The more we read and learn,the more ignorant we are.
B. The more we read and learn,the more confused we will be.
C. The more we read and learn,the more learned we are.
D. The more we read and learn,the more selfish we become.
78. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that .
A they could agree upon certain signs B. they could write them down
C. they could commumicate with each other D. they could combine them.
79.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The mystery and power of words. B. The invention and power of words.
C. The functions of words. D. Both A and B.
80. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?
A. He is no more than a master of words.
B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
C. He can move men to tears.
D. His style is always charming
