James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币厂) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的人). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyondunderstanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.1.In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC.

Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality. In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cardsfocused on ________.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.A. couldn't walk through itB. couldn't believe itC. couldn't stay to the end of itD. couldn't understand it8.Engelbreit's cards were successful because ________.A. they were distinctive in styleB. they had a thank-you sentenceC. they had complicated detailsD. they were rich in color9.

The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitalsthrow away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actionshave not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.11.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away.B. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.12.What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D.

They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog. The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. Thesettlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries ofthe farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.16.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich17.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soilthereB. they did not realize that the river would overflowsometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods18.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia19.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by_______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land20.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of theyearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how tocontrol the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledgeall over the worldQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the same passage or dialog.Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout (筋疲力尽). Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback (反馈) to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sportsetting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngster's performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.21.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_____________.A. to make sports less competitiveB. to make sports more challengingC. to reduce their mental stressD. to increase their sense of success22.According to the passage sport is positive for young peoplein that ___________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences23.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizingyoung athletes _________.A. without realizing criticism may destroy theirself-confidenceB. in order to make them remember life's lessonsC. believing that criticism is beneficial for their earlydevelopmentD. so as to put more pressure on them24.According to the passage parents and coaches should___________.A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to cope with stress25.The author's purpose in writing the passage is ___________.A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to stress the importance of positive reinforcement tochildrenC. to discuss the skill of combining criticism withencouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout Questions 26 to 30 are based on the same passage or dialog. If it was once the case that there were no second acts in American lives, there are now not only second acts but third, fourth, and fifth ones. This is not entirely unhealthy: The belief that one shouldn't be judged by one's worst mistakes revives (恢复) careers that might otherwise have ended. Thus, Sergio Zyman rebounded from the failure of New Coke to lead the company to great success and landed on the cover of Fortune in a story headlined, "So You Fail. Now Bounce Back!" That story put a new spin on screwing up: "If you haven't failed yet, you probably will. And for the benefit of your career, you probably should."Sometime in the 1990s, though, the notion of failure as the necessary preface to success reached its falling phase. In this, Hollywood led the way. When the movie Showgirls was not successful in theaters, its distributor, MGM, decided to actively sell it as a bad movie, arranging midnight shows stocked with dragqueens (男扮女装的男同性恋者) shouting the film's lines back at the screen. The notion of shame in failure came to be seen as old-fashioned, and the "redemption" (补救) phase of a comeback grew shorter and shorter until it disappeared entirely. As Hugh Grant taught us, no matter how bad one's misconduct, one can earn forgiveness through a modest chat on a national talk show. Similarly, Bob Dole didn't enter a Nixonian retreat after his political defeat-he soon entered his new role as a salesman, poking (戳，捅) gentle fun at his own inability to win.The 1990s cultivation of an appreciation for failure was ideally timed since the 2000s have made failure epidemic. Failure is not merely more common than success these days, it's also more interesting.26.The best title that fits this passage is ________________.A. How to turn failure into successB. Failure is the new successC. Failure should be avoidedD. Don't be afraid of failure27.What does "put a new spin on screwing up" in Para. 1。

Dictation 1Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, it’s becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown th at music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipt by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn’t always the answer. The expert found that in restaurant slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving –unless, of course, the resulting indigestion leads to complaints.Dictation 2Celine Dion is the youngest of 14 children in a working-class family in Quebec, Canada. Her parents, who both loved music, encouraged her to develop her musical talent. At 12, Celine had composed the song "It Was Only a Dream". Her mother and brother helped her to make a recording of that song and sent it off to an address they found on an album of a popular French singer. The address was that of Rene Angelil, who became her first conquest, but there would be millions more.Celine's rise from a teenage singer to a pop superstar has been steady, but not without difficulties Record companies were at first less enthusiastic about investing in a teenager than Angelil, who mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album. But her first two albums won a great success And by 1983 she became the first Canadian ever to have a gold record in France.In 1990, Celine made her first English language record with Unison but her real breakthrough in America came when she was selected by Disney to sing the theme song of Beauty and the Beast. The song went to No. 1 on the chart and won both a Grammy and an Academy award. In 1996 she performed at the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and in 1997, she recorded the theme song for Titanic, and her name became synonymous with the enormously successful film.Celine Dion's favorite theme is love. She sings the depth and the power of love in a great many of her hits such as "Love Can Move Mountains", "Because You Loved Me", "The Power of Love" and, of course, the theme song of Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On".Dictation 3D: So what’s your trouble?P: Well, doctor, I have n’t been feeling well lately.

Levi wearers were seen as ,fashionable and fun.Expensive clothes can make the wearer feel like part of the high status group withBut when you dress in these expensive clothes, your mood .You feel good,In going after stomach we are making a choice between image and reality.Dictation 2:Jeffery Zaslow, the advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, grew up in Suburban Philadelphia. His biggest Suburban in life was to be a writer. “I never wanted to beanything else,” he says. “I was ten or eleven when I saw Gone with the Wind and I wrote my own Civil War story.”After earning a degree in creating writing at Carnegie Mellon University, he got a job at a newspaper in Orlando, Florida. He made his mark with his article on the rough working conditions endured by the people inside the Mickey and Minnie costumes at Walt Disney World. Later he became a staff writer for the Wall Street Journal.In 1988, when the famous advice columnist, Ann Lander, quit her job at the Chicago Sun-Times, the paper launched a nationwide contest to find her replacement. Jeffrey Zaslow applied. Among the 12,000contestants , women outnumbered men nine to one, and most of them had seen a lot more of life than Zaslow, who was 28 and not married. When he reached the Semifinals , his editors at the Journal ran a headline: “ Why He’ll Never Make It”. But Jeffrey did make it in the finals.Today, thirteen years later, his column, “All That Zazz”, is read by thousands of readers in the Chicago area. His years in the advice business left him with a deep appreciation for people and their problems. He is also greatly moved by the generosity, sincerity and good nature of his readers. “Wonderful people,” he says, “do outnumber terrible people in his world. I have much more faith in my fellow men than I had before. And I’ve read plenty of letters to back that up.”Dictation 31.

It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.Your first task is to find a house that will suityou. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1. The passage concerns ________.A. buying a house for a newly married coupleB. buying a large house for a growing familyC. buying a better house when people have more money to spendD. buying a smaller house for older people whose children have left home2. The passage implies that grown-up children are _______.A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB. distant from their parentsC. friendly but not very closeD. annoying3. The author decided to move ________.A. when his house gave him too much work and cost too much to runB. when he grew tired of his houseC. when he suddenly got the strength to do soD. before the house collapsed4. The author advises people in his own situation ________.A. to move into a very small houseB. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of furniture will fitC. not to move too far from the main roadD. to choose somewhere not so noisy5. According to the passage, the new house had _________.A. two floorsB. three floorsC. four floorsD. two bathroomsQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.For most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms.All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard.Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates (考生) and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (行人) crossings and so on.The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New York or California.The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road." This is all that the examiner is concerned with.6. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they often talk about the driving testB. new and exaggerated stories about the test are always appearingC. there are more tall stories about the driving test than any other subjectD. the same stories about the test reappear years later7. According to the passage, driving examiners _______.A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selection interviewB. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervising examinersC. sometimes have more than six weeks' trainingD. are tested during the selection process to see if their driving is of a high standard8. There isn't a test center in every town because ________.A. some examiners can go to occasional centers from the permanent centersB. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC. there has to be enough parking space for the candidates and the examinersD. not every town could provide enough test routes close to permanent centers9. We can judge from this passage that ________.A. the detailed records are checked after each test by a supervising examinerB. sometimes candidates are tested by a supervising examinerC. it's true that some examiners never pass anyone on Thursday afternoonsD. examiners are only concerned with a candidate's ability to drive10. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.A. test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB. candidate drivers pass the testC. all candidates are treated equally by the examiners during the testD. some test centers do not have enough parking spaceQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, hehas gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.11. Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away.B. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.12. What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D. Send e-mails to Africans.13. What did Wildes learn five years ago?A. Drugs are thrown away.B. He has AIDS.C. Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.14. With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.15. What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D.

No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the oversized shoes.Much has been written about Chaplin's art and his career, and opinions have ran ged widely. But perhaps those who called him "the truest huma n being of our time" came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a gen ius stress the timeless and com mon qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad elements and deep humanfeeling, w ith which an audieneecannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, thatthe figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.All the writers who give accounts of Chaplin's life agree that Charlie's unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great in flue nee on his developme nt and on the type of films he made.Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs （回忆录）. The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one tends to agree. In deed, his sufferi ng youth had a lasti ng in flue nce on him.Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreementin his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came homefrom World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madn ess, but the performa nce was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorousperformanee on what for them had been an unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave n umerous performa nces attack ing capital gover nmen ts, satiriz ing ( 讽刺）the cruelty of the mach ine age, and eve n mak ing fun of Hitler.Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be well loved. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous prese ntati ons that make fun of people, the establishme nt, or n etworks.71. All of the following about Charlie Chaplin are true exceptA. he was born in the USAB. he was a great film actorC. he had an un happy early lifeD. he made fun of Hitler in one of his films72. According to the author, Charlie Chaplin has been well loved bygen erati on after gen erati on because ___________ .A. he set the whole world laugh ingB. his performa nces get people in volvedC. his works appeal to people in differe nt periodsJ D. both B and C73. According to the writers of Charlie Chaplin's life history,___________ had a str ong in flue nee on the type of films he made.A. the society in which he lived厂 B. the audie nee who praised and admired himC C. his un happy early years in the poor area in LondonD. those who called him a genius74. According to the passage, which of the following is trueA. There are timeless qualities in Chapli n's work because he did n'tin volve himself i n political affairs.C B. Chapli n became well loved years after his death.C. Chapli n's performa nee is funny without any sad eleme nts.D. Chapli n's films are the comb in ati ons of funny and sad eleme nts.75. This passage was ____________ .C A. writte n by Charlie Chapl inB. written about Charlie ChaplinC. advertis ing one of Charlie Chapli n's filmsD. written for students to learn film-makingQuesti ons 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Television carries more national advertising than any other medium in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audie nee. In many cou ntries, (Swede n and Denm ark, for example) the state-ow ned televisi on accepts no advertis ing. In many other cou ntries the amount of commercial ( 商业广告)time is very much limited, as inFran ce. Germa ny, and Italy. Russia n state-ow ned televisi on bega naccepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988.The chief reason that television is so well liked among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast n umber of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-sec ond commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers.For compa nies that must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of their ben efits immediately, there is no thi ng as efficie nt as televisi on advertis ing. Because it employs moti on as well as words, pictures, sou nds, and music, televisi on is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves todem on strati on. No other medium is as effective in show ing how quickly an automobile can move or how well a certa in type of wristwatch will sta nd up un der heavy use and con ti nue to run. In the same way, it is an ideal medium for show ing how some products can make a pers on feel better abouthim- or herself, such as lon g-dista nee teleph one calls.76. According to the passage, which of the following statements is trueA. There is less advertis ing on TV in Spa in tha n in Swede n.B. One can n ever see any commercial on TV in Denmark since it is not accepted atall.C. The amount of commercial time is very much limited in most European countries.D. French people don't have to worry about being troubled bycommercials.77. According to the passage, what is the main reason United States advertisers liketelevision so muchC A. It commu ni cates in formati on more quickly.C B. Every household has at least one TV set.C. It communicates information to a vast number of people attime.D. America n people love watchi ng TV more tha n readi ng.78. The word prospects in the 2nd paragraph means _______________ .A. pote ntial customersB. competitorsC. work ing staff at TV stati onsD. part ners79. Which of the following is employed in TV advertisingA. MotionB. Sounds and music.C. PicturesJ D. All of the above.80. Which of the following statements is trueA. Televisi on is as efficie nt as n ewspaper in dem on strati on of a certain product or service.the same ben efitsB. Televisi on is a valuable medium in dem on strat ing ben efits of a certa inproduct or service.C C. TV commercials can hardly help to commu ni cate feeli ngs.C D. People use advertis ing on TV whe never n ecessary because of its effective ness. Questi ons 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Failure to take time to pla n and prepare is one of the major mistakescommitted by sales negotiators （谈判）.Related to this is weak information gathering. Neither your information gathering nor your planning can be effective without first en gagi ng in n egotiati on with yourself or with inyour company, ., the agreements that may be necessary before negotiation with the customer.Once your face-to-face n egotiati ng beg ins, any n umber of factors canin flue nee the result. Going forth with a rigid min d-set （心'态）,giv ing con cessi ons （让步）too early, an sweri ng too quickly to each dema nd, not calling time-out, and not putting yourself into the customer's shoes, arecom mon mistakes in many sales n egotiati ons. Fin ally, not being careful during the follow-through results in a lack of success even in an effective n egotiati on.Let us take the case of Ted Jeffries, a n ewly appo in ted salesrepresentative for a maker of kitchen equipment. His main line isprefabricated （预制的）ovens. In addition to building additional saleswith existing buyers, he is responsible for finding new buyers in some rapidly grow ing areas.Ted had been very effective with a previous company selling a line ofbuild ing supplies to buyers by teleph one. So he is not without someexperie nee. He has some very positive selli ng stre ngths and he is doingreas on ably well in clos ing some early sales. But he is begi nning to findthat some sales come at a "higher price" than others. Let's see what seems to be his problem. Ted is making his first call to long-time buyers,Lexington Kitchens. He hopes to renegotiate （重新谈判）the buying agreement with Ms. Sue Parker, manager of Lexington.81. According to the passage, what must be done before a sales negotiator（谈判者）works with his customerA. Information gathering.B. Planning for the negotiation with the customer.C. Visit ing his customers freque ntly.D. Reachi ng an agreeme nt withi n the sales n etwork.82.

She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as h e dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year，followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smi le on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas，though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B. He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D. He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Peaceful.B. Simple.C. Stressful.D. Happy.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda，children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years，Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go，can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note，I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s th e author’s attitude towards Spo tify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D. Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D. Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing，Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side nev er visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018，and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts，advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的）clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille，a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A. The British people preferred them.B. They showed the cruelty of war.C. A Canadian doctor suggested them.D. The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes （探测仪），students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets （电子制表软件）or concept maps （概念图）. This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses （先修课程）. These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous （异步的）interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary （高等教育）students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous，well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想，尤其是教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

Reading Comprehension （15 Points）Section ONE: Fast ReadingDirection: In this part, you are to go over the passage quickly and mark T(true)or F(false). Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Environmental Protection Throughout the WorldIntroductionIn most parts of the world, environmental awareness does not exit. The great majority of nations concern themselves with economic development, regardless of its effects on the global ecology. But in recent years, as environmental damage has increased, signs of change have sprung up in various pockets around the world. The following are a few examples of countries undertaking new environmental initiatives.CanadaWhen European explorers first came to the new world, the fishing ground off what would become eastern Canada and new England held abundant cod and other species. The area, called the Grand Banks, was the most abundant fishing ground in the world. Now, 500 years later, excessive fishing has reduced the number of fish of dangerously low levels. In response, Canada has closed the area to cod fishing and set strict limits on catches of other species.When Canada took similar measures to protect the supply of herring in the 1970s, the fish eventually recovered. But experts say that some species today have been so wasted, they may never recover. The government also faced protests from Canadian fishermen. About 40,000 are now unemployed as a result of the fishing bans and loss of their fish supply.Costa RicaThis central American country has one of the more ambitious programs in the world to preserve the ecological diversity of its tropical rain forests. Much of the country has already been clear-cut, and soil erosion has been extensive. But a series of new environmental laws, together with the creation of parks and nature preserves that cover one quarter of the country, are aimed at protecting Costa Rica’s remaining forests.BrazilBrazil is the home of the world’s largest jungle rain forest, the Amazon. For decades, the government sought to colonize and develop the Amazon, bringing severe environmental disaster to the area and its people.But in 1991, under pressure from environmentalists around the world, Brazil reversed course. It ended tax favors that encouraged clearing of the Amazon rain forest, and agreed to a plan to finance new forest protection projects.Cattle farmers, miners, and settlers have protested the move and continue to destroy the forests, although at a slower pace than before. The conflict enlarged last year when miners killed a group of Amazon Indians in order to seize their land. The government promises it will protect the region’s native people, but questions remain as to its true level of commitment.Eastern EuropeThe nations of eastern Europe, including Poland, Hungary, and the Czech and Slovak Republics, are considered the most polluted of all the world’s industrialized countries. Heavy metals from coal mining have contaminated much of the area’s waters. Rivers, land and forests are so contaminated that many are now biologically dead.In a special series of treaties, Eastern European countries and other nations, including the United states, have set up special funds for environmental cleanups and improving the region’s power plants. In addition, Germany and the Czech Republic have signed a treaty to protect the Elbe River from further contamination. Experts say the treaty could serve as a model for protecting other river in the region, including the Oder and Danube.GhanaGhana’s population has been growing by 3.2 percent a year. This explosive growth has led to removal of forests in much of the country, and excessive use of existing farmland. Forests have been cut down at the rate of 278 square miles a year.In response, the government has urged local villages to create more shared farmland. It had supported the growing of cash crops such as cassava, maize, cotton, and the planting of trees to regenerate waste land. Observers say the program has succeeded in strengthening the country’s agricultural base and bringing a new source of wealth to villagers. But it remains to be seen whether these measures will have enough impact to slow the rate of removing the forests.IndonesiaIndonesians have traditionally favored large families, and their major religion, Islam, frowns on birth control. But with 188 million people, the country is now struggling to provide enough food, shelter, and employment for its people. In recent years, the government has waged a massive ad campaign to encourage birth control, offering inducements such as free trips to Mecca, the birthplace of Islam in Saudi Arabia.The government has succeeded in increasing use of birth control from 10 percent of the population 20 years ago to 49 percent today. As a result, the average number of birth has been cut from 5.6 children per woman to 3. The government hopes to reduce this average to 2.1 children per woman by 2005. But with such a large population base, the country must still convert millions more to the idea of birth control if it is to reach its population targets.( )21. Now Canada is the most abundant fishing ground in the world as it used to be.( )22. Many Canadian fishermen are out of work just because of the lack of fish.( )23. From the article, we can infer that the government of Brazil seldom keep their promise. ( )24. The villagers in Ghana become richer with the help of the government’s policy.( )25. The major religion in Indonesia favored birth control.Section TWO: Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One: Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The fear that technology would eliminate jobs is not peculiar to our century. It goes back at least to the first part of the last century. It was then that groups of English workers tried to prevent the industrialization of Britain by wrecking factories and machinery. They thought the machines were going to take away their jobs. In fact, the machines increased the number of jobs well beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.One of the few things on which economists of all different schools agree is the idea that technology reduces jobs is a fallacy. It is a fallacy because it assumes that the total amount of work to be done in any economic system is fixed.It is really not fixed at all. It is changing constantly. And for many reasons, new consumer demands, population increases, technology—they all work to increase employment.In the late 30 years, for instance, America has added 30 million people to the ranks of the employed. Many of them work in industries that only came into being because of new technology.The microelectronics industry is an obvious example. This industry did not even exist 30 years ago. Today it is the world’s ninth largest industry. And it is growing. It is expected to be the fourth largest by the end of this decade. Certainly any industry with this kind of record has positive impact on jobs. In fact, in the past decade the rate of job growth in microelectronics has been twice as fast as the national average. And the industry is giving rise to entirely new kinds of service jobs that rely on microelectronic products. They are all part of our growing information society.The greatest threat to the labor force today is lacke of technology. Business faces international competition. And technology is international. Preventing or delaying its introduction in one country would mean its even more successful introduction in other countries. Companies need to invest aggressively in technological innovation—if they are to remain competitive—and create new jobs.26. English workers tried to wreck factories and machinery because they wanted to ________ .A. eliminate jobs created by industrializationB. keep their jobsC. increase the number of jobsD. pave the way for new technology to develop in their country27.According to this passage, all the economists ________ .A. hold the opinion that technology reduces jobsB. think that the total amount of work to be done in an economic system is fixedC. have different opinions as to whether technology reduces jobsD. think that it is wrong to say technology reduces jobs28.Which of the following ideas is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lack of technology is the greatest threat to the labor force.B. Technology can create jobs rather than reduce jobs.C. No industry can develop without new technology.D. The idea that technology reduces jobs is a fallacy.29.The author cites the microelectronics industry as an obvious example in the passage to illustrate that ________ .A. it is a fast-growing industryB. business faces international competitionC. technology can increase employmentD. it plays an important role in the development of new technology30.Preventing or delaying its introduction in one country would mean its even more successful introduction in other countries. This sentence is used to illustrate ________ .A. international competition in technologyB. the importance of developing new technologyC. the necessity of creating new jobsD. the aggressiveness of technological innovation Passage Two: Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are possessive and dominant, that they do not trust their children to deal with crises, that they talk too much about certain problems, and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choice in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainment and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud, because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to beresponsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.31. What is the author’s attitude towards the teenagers’criticism of their parents?A. He completely agrees with them.B. He doesn’t think the teenagers are mature enough.C. He thinks the complaint is reasonable to some extent.D. He thinks that the teenagers are expecting too much of their parents32.According to the passage, young people often have their own choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainment and music because ________ .A. they are motivated to irritate their parentsB. they want to show their existence by creating a culture of their ownC. they have no desire to join the adult worldD. this is one of the best ways to entertain themselves33.Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because ________ .A. they do not want to betray their own age groupB. they feel that they are superior to the adults in some wayC. they do not want to be accepted by the adult worldD. they feel that they are not likely to win over the adults34.Who should be responsible for the misunderstanding between young people and their parents according to the passage?A. Parents alone.B. Young people themselves.C. Both young people and their parents.D. Neither young people nor their parents.35.In writing this passage, the author is most probably addressing ________ .A. parents of young peopleB. college studentsC. newspaper readersD. TeenagersⅢ.

Dictation 1Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, it’s becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third. But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipt by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn’t always the answer. The expert found that in restaurant slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales . So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving –unless, of course, the resulting indigestion leads to complaints.Dictation 2Celine Dion is the youngest of 14 children in a working-class family in Quebec, Canada. Her parents, who both loved music, encouraged her to develop her musical talent. At 12, Celine had composed the song "It Was Only a Dream". Her mother and brother helped her to make a recording of that song and sent it off to an address they found on an album of a popular French singer. The address was that of Rene Angelil, who became herfirst conquest, but there would be millions more.Celine's rise from a teenage singer to a pop superstar has been steady, but not without difficulties Record companies were at first less enthusiastic about investing in a teenager than Angelil, who mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album. But her first two albums won a great success And by 1983 she became the first Canadian ever to have a gold record in France.In 1990, Celine made her first English language record with Unison but her real breakthrough in America came when she was selected by Disney to sing the theme song of Beauty and the Beast. The song went to No. 1 on the chart and won both a Grammy and an Academy award. In 1996 she performed at the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and in 1997, she recorded the theme song for Titanic, and her name became synonymous with the enormously successful film.Celine Dion's favorite theme is love.
