Victor's hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from other countries, like England,Canada and China. On his birthday,can you guess what people gave him? That's right—stamps.
Victor's favourite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 to 2009. He only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition. It was very hard to find.
He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Victor very sad.
“Don't worry. Never give up,” his father said to him.“If you have enough patience,you'll find one one day. ”
“I hope so,” Victor said.
Victor also liked writing. He had a penfriend in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor's penfriend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him some stamps. Once Phillip's mother gave him a big,green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter, he was very surprised.He looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father.

Karen, one of my workmates was stressed about where she was living. She hated the apartment she was in and complained every day about it.

Karen's reply to this was: “I will look for another apartment when I come back from vacation.”
Sam hated his job. He was tired of getting up in the morning. He hated the work he was doing and it started to take a toll on him.

After listening to his complaints for a month,I asked him why he didn't finish his course and start a small business doing photography on the weekends. His reply was: “If only I had more time to finish my course. When I finish my course I will start a business.”

Man has been travelling into space for more than 40 years. Even today though, very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, about 30 per year. This is mainly because of the expense. It costs millions of yuan to train and send astronauts into space. Very few countries can afford this.
This is why American businessman Dennis Tito paid 20 000 000 US dollars to the Russian space agency to go into space. He visited the International Space Station. His trip, making him the first ever space tourist, took eight days in total. He spent most of his time taking photos, looking at Earth and listening to music on his onceinalifetime trip.
After landing safely back on earth, Mr Tito thought the trip was worth the money. The only difficulty he had was walking but this is normal for anyone who's been in zero gravity.
Some people, especially in the American space agency, argue that you must be professional (专业的) to go into space. They worry about the safety of other astronauts. However, Mr Tito received training before he left. He also helped to prepare food for the others while in space. They told him what to do and where he was allowed to go.
A survey carried out soon after Tito landed showed that 75% of Americans supported space tourism. Some people are bored of all the places on earth. They are looking for a new adventure and space is the place.
The money Mr Tito gave the Russians paid for 20% of their annual budge (预算). If we want to see men on Mars and other planets, we may need rich people like Mr Tito to help us pay for it. The Russians have more rich people who want to become space tourists. They should take them.
28.How many people have flown in space?
A. About 30.
B. More than 1 200.
C. Thousands.
D. About 12 000.
29.Why did the Russians want Dennis Tito to go into space?
A. They wanted to work with an American.
B. They wanted him to have a onceinalifetime trip.
C. They wanted him to take photos of Earth.
D. They wanted his money.
30.What were the differences between Mr Tito and the other astronauts?
A. None.
B. Only Tito was allowed to cook.
C. Tito couldn't go everywhere on the space station.
D. Tito received training before he flew in space.
31.What does the writer think about Dennis Tito?
- 13 -
A. He helped Russia keep going into space.
B. He was not a good astronaut.
C. He couldn't help the Russians much.
D. He shouldn't be allowed into space again.

28.解析:推理计算题。第一段讲到,人类遨游太空已40多年了,即使到了今天也很少有人有机会成为每年大约30名宇航员中的一员,可以推算出有30×40=1 200(人)。故B为正确选项。
答案:B
29.解析:推理判断题。训练一名宇航员并把他送入太空需要花费几百万元,能承担起这一费用的国家寥寥无几。俄罗斯宇航局需要丹尼斯·蒂托的钱,他才得以进入太空。
答案:D
30.解析:细节理解题。第三、四段讲到,他在太空的唯一困难是行走不便。他们(宇航员)告诉他能做什么,能到什么地方去。用排除法可知C为正确选项。
答案:C
31.解析:推理判断题。第六段讲到蒂托先生付给俄罗斯人的钱,可以支付他们年度预算的20%。如果我们想见到火星或其他行星上的人的话,我们需要像蒂托这样的富人帮我们支付费用。
答案:A
D
It may be a wellworn cliche (陈词滥调), but for Hong Kong star Jackie Chan, action really does speak louder than words — at least when it comes to English dialogue.
The actor was often frustrated by his inability to deliver his English lines smoothly during the shooting of Rush Hour 3, according to an entry on his website.
“To me, action scenes are so easy, but dialogue scenes drive me crazy. The directors and producers want me to speak everything perfectly,” he wrote while filming in Los Angeles.
Sometimes when a word is in the past tense or plural (复数的), I get confused. It is hard to remember lengthy dialogue and still sound natural.
“I have to say my lines over and over again until I get them right,” he said. “I want to ask them ‘Can_I_speak_Jackie_Chan_English?’”
Chan is a prolific(多产的) actor, but he has said his roles there are limited because of his grasp of English. Chan dedicated (献给) one diary entry to the costar Chris Tucker, thanking him for helping with the dialogue. Chan also said he was grateful to the director Brett Ratner who tried to simplify the lines.
In the Rush Hour series, Chan played a Hong Kong police officer and Tucker played his Los Angeles counterpart (搭档). With the humor drawing on cultural differences between the two, Rush Hour 3 is an exciting movie for the fans.
32.We can learn from the text that ________.
A. Jackie Chan couldn't speak English aloud
B. Jackie Chan wanted to improve his English
C. Jackie Chan had trouble in delivering English lines
D. Jackie Chan's roles were limited because he is a Chinese
33.What does the underlined sentence “Can I speak Jackie Chan English?” in the fifth paragraph mean?
A. Can I speak British English?
B. Can I speak English in my own way?
C. Can you help me with my English?
D. Can I speak Chinese instead of English?
34.According to the text, Rush Hour 3 is a movie ________.
A. produced in the United States
- 13 -
B. focusing on cultural differences
C. having gained great success
D. specially made for Jackie Chan
35.Why was Jackie Chan grateful to Brett Ratner?
A. Because he made the lines easier for Jackie Chan.
B. Because he was very patient with Jackie Chan's problem.
C. Because he made Jackie Chan the leading actor of the movie.
D. Because he taught Jackie Chan to speak English while directing.
答案与解析:
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了英语成为成龙拍电影时的一个障碍,以及他是如何克服这一难题的。
32.解析:事实细节题。从第二段可知英文台词是成龙拍电影时经常遇到的一个难题。
答案:C
33.解析:句意理解题。语言障碍是成龙在拍摄该电影时的困难,这是他幽默的自嘲的话语。
答案:B
34.解析:事实细节题。从第三段的“he wrote while filming in Los Angeles.”可知,他是在洛杉矶拍的这部电影。
答案:A
35.解析:事实细节题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“Chan also said he was grateful to the director Brett Ratner who tried to simplify the lines.”可知导演Brett Ratner特地为成龙简化了台词。
答案:A

Outer Space Exploration, YES or NO
We_had_an_argument_over_whether_it_was_necessary_to_carry_out_outer_space_explorations_at_a_class_meeting_the_other_day.
Some of us thought it important to research the outer space because first of all, people can get a better understanding of the outer space through their explorations. Second, new resources can be found there for the human use. Third, these explorations can possibly bring about new living space for human life.
However, others thought very differently. They said this kind of explorations is much too costly. Besides, it is very dangerous for the astronauts to do such work.
In my opinion, people should be pioneering, and therefore such explorations into the outer space are worth trying.
