IV. 阅读理解(共15 小题; 每题2分; 满分30分)
You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.
There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just a the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stuntwomen, too!
56. Stuntmen earn their living by__ .
A. playing their dirty tricks
B. selling their special skills
C. jumping out of high windows
D. jumping from fast-moving trains
57. When a stuntman falls from a high building,
A. he needs little protection
B. he will be covered with a mattress
C. his life is endangered
D. his safety is generally all right
58. Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?
A. Strength.
B. Exactness.
C. Speed.
D. Carefulness.
59. What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.
B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C. Parachutes must be of good quality.
D. The cliff is too high.
B
The iPhone the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”—and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—used the title in 2008. A lovely bear—popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i” Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i”works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or intcractive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability.” adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with“Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted“i”as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. How ever, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.
60. People use iPlayer to .
A. listen to music
B. make a call
C. watch TV programs online
D. read newspapers
61. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for .
A. young readers
B. old readers
C. fashionable women
D. engineers
62. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “ .”
A. popular
B. uncertain
C. clear
D. unique
63. The writer suggests that .
A. “i” products are often of high quality
B. iTeddy is a live bear
C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off of war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. “The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.

Dear Susan,
It’s a long time since I saw you last time. You provided accommodation for me during my English camp in Scotland and your family showed their hospitality to me, which left a deep impression on me. I’m writing this email to show my gratitude to you for your kindness.
I’ve heard that you are planning a trip to China this July. I’d like to sincerely welcome you to China and I recommend you to pay a visit to Tianjin, which is one of the most popular cities for visitors.
Located in the east of China, Tianjin is a fascinating city with a large number of places of interest. In the north of the city lies Mount Pan, which is a unique geographical feature, attracting tourists all over the world every year. Short history as Tianjin has, it doesn’t mean Tianjin is lack for traditional customs. You’ll surely feel an atmosphere of Chinese conventional culture when you step into the Ancient Cultural Street.
Do you feel like visiting Tianjin? Please write to me and share your opinion with me.
Best wishes.
Yours
Li Jin
