Chinese brandnames are also becoming more well-known outside China.When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, giftsfrom the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren't rare any more,and anything 'Made in China' shouldn‘t be considered in any case."When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words," a Chinese American said. "When they see the label 'Made in China,' they will think, 'Why do you send me this?' "The development of China has surprised the world with its growth.

We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, Icouldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, sincein her eyes professional（职业的）storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothinggood ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retoldstories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspokenagreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回报）for Mother's kindness and away to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, shewasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, myaunts, even my stubborn grandmother.I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‗no speaking‘. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.( ) 33. Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.

Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?A. Because she thought they never said anything good.B. Because she thought they couldn‘t make much money.C. Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan‘s schoolwork.D. Because she thought most people didn‘t like listening to stories.( ) 36. In Mo Yan‘s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.A. silentB. modestC. talkativeD. trouble-making( ) 37. Which is the best title（标题）of the passage? A. My Unlucky ChildhoodB. A Storyteller‘s ChildhoodC. My Kind GrandmotherD. More talking leads to successDYesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官)Roger Fleet said, ―The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.‖The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleetsaid the tourists wouldn‘t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the ―Be Careful about crocodiles‖ sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the place where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown. ( ) 38.

The navy now has its first aircraft carrier(航空母舰), Liaonin g.It‘s a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor（过道）could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors（水手）is quite small. That‘s because the carrieris designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck. For visitors, it‘s so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions.Also, you will be surprised by the high level of education of today‘s sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailors are college graduates. Six hold Doctor‘s Degrees and 45 have a Master‘s. The whole team is young but vigorous. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard(在船上).( ) 43. Why do we visitors get lost easily inside the carrier?A. Because they don‘t have a map.B. Because the living space is quite small.C. Because there are too many corridors for rooms.D. Because the corridor inside the carrier is too long. ( ) 44. What does the word ―high‖ in Line 6 refer to（指代）？A.The aircraft carrier is high since it is just like a small city.B.Most of the soldiers received good education.C. The expense（花费）to run a carrier is high.D. The high-level of their training.( ) 45. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Liaoning is our country‘s first aircraft carrier.B. Most of the sailors on the carrier are college graduates.C. There are far fewer women sailors than men sailors on the carrier.D. It is comfortable for the sailors to live in the carrier.四、填空（共16小题；每小题1分，满分16分）A)根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在标号为46~50 的相应位置上。
