(A)A study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引语）from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto. The study of Fudan University, one of China’s top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante’s “Follow your own path and don’t worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.”Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in children’s growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character. 41．The study shows _________.A．which university should have mottoesB．what poems are popularC．how many students like the motto “Believe yourself.”D．the majority of the students like to choose their favorite mottoes 42．Of the students asked, _______ students have mottoes.A．about 78% B．about 57% C．about 16% D．about 8%43．The motto “Self-improvement without stop” shares the similar meaning with ______.A．going on to improve rapidly B．growing by oneself continuouslyC．making oneself better and perfect continuously D．becoming better without having a break44．The best title for the passage should be _______.A．Mottoes and Character Developing B．Students and PoetC．Mottoes and Learning D．Understanding Care45．What do we know from the passage?A．The students need help and care greatly.B．The students want to be understood and cared and are willing to help.C．The students want to understand themselves deeper with a motto chosen.D．The students believe they understand mottoes better than others.（B）Last year more than 13 Korean TV series were introduced in China. Turn on the TV, and Korean beauties are appearing during peak viewing times(黄金时段). Some of the dramas are being repeated, but audiences continue to watch them. Why are the South Korean TV series loved by so many Chinese people? Cheng Yiting, a student from East China Normal University, gives us her reasons. She thinks that the good-looking actors with cool clothes and the beautiful sight in the dramas are the selling points for South Korean TV dramas. But what attracted the young audiences most is the pure and moving love stories.And it seems that South Korean TV series have also won the hearts of middle-aged people. They are touched by the morals in the shows. These include the importance of respecting elders and social order. Though some people think South Korean TV series are too slow and too long, most of the Chinese audiences like them. Maybe we are really tired of Western TV series. Compared with that, South Korean TV series are not bad.46．What does the underlined word "moral" in the third line mean?A．志向B．情节C．道德D．垃圾47．Which of the following is not mentioned about South Korean TV?A．Love B．Morals C．Social order D．Self-respect 48．What is the most important reason why South Korean TV series are popular with the young audiences?A．The series are slow and long.

But two of the world’s highest-ranked teams—with some of football’s highest-paid players—couldn’t get the ball into the net. And they were playing against sides that only just made it to the World Cup.With two defeats, one draw（平局）and no goals, France collected its newest title since rising to the top of the game four years ago: the worst defending champion in World Cup history.“I’m very disappointed, it’s the end of a beautiful story,” said a French striker David Trezeguet. “The story began in 1998 and ended today against Denmark.”France won the 2000 European Championships and was ranked the best team on the planet before the World Cup.Besides the goalposts and crossbars seeming to be against this unlucky team, France’s game plan has been the same for four years so opponents (competitors) know it by heart.Senegal, an African team playing in its first World Cup, surprised everyone by beating France in the opening World Cup match before entering the second round successfully.Uruguay and Denmark followed a similar strategy to stop France, creating a defensive barrier（屏障）and launching many counter-attacks.Following France, Argentina became the second big-name to take an early plane home from this year’s World Cup.The South Americans were expected to become world champions for a third time. This was particularly because of an impressive display when they lost just one of their 18 qualifying matches.The team’s 1-0 loss to England on June 7 was the beginning of a nightmare for the players. But even after this surprising defeat, they never thought that theywould be going home so soon. But a 1-1 draw in Argentina’s final group match against Sweden made the unexpected a reality.51．By saying “two of the world’s highest-ranked teams” in the first paragraph, it meansA．Senegal and Denmark B．Uruguay and DenmarkC．England and Sweden D．France and Argentina52．Which of the following statements about the French team is NOT true?A．The French team won a great victory in 2000.B．The French team got its title “the worst defending champion in World Cup history” four years ago in 1998.C．The French team was the champions in the last World Cup.D．In this World Cup, French team’s balls hit the goalposts and crossbars. 53．From the passage we know .A．France was defeated first by Denmark and then by SenegalB．Uruguay beat France and was defeated by DenmarkC．England beat Argentina and drew the next oneD．Sweden didn’t beat Argentina but kicked it out54．The underlined word “strategy” refers to .A．the way to persuade others to follow themB．the purpose with which they joined in the gamesC．the art of planning operation in matchesD．the suggestion the people of their own made55．Argentina was expected to become world champions because .A．they won almost all the games in the tryout（预赛）B．they had won champions in World Cup three timesC．they lost the game to England only by 1—0D．they beat a strong opponent—Sweden(D)If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, “Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.“I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.“I saw the sign ‘Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls. “Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜), ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see allthese caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly which needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.56.
