A
David Beckham is the king of football world, but it is his wife Victoria, former“Posh Spice" girl，who makes it. she was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor. Even now that he has left Manchester United for Real Madrid, instead of Barcelona or Milan, it might be because of her.
“Posh Spice” has become a name for Victoria. The Collins Dictionary even has the term “Posh and Becks”(Victoria and David Beckham).
Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer with a bright future at Manchester United. But that was about all.
Since he married her in 1999，he has become the most famous player British sport has ever produced, and, some say, the most influential（有影响力的）man in the country. "When they got together she was clearly the more popular of the two,” said Andrew Parker, a sports expert at Warwick University in Britain. "She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and, all of a sudden, he was a top list celebrity(名人).”
It's believed that，behind the high walls and iron gates of their "Beckingham Palace", it is Victoria who decides everything.
When their baby boy, Brooklyn, fell ill in 2000，Beckham left a United training to look after him, and this led to his being dropped from the team. Many were sure it was Victoria who had asked her husband to stay at home.
During a trip to the United States this year, Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public. They would not have recognized him if they met him in a car park.
She may appear to have taken a back seat, but Victoria is still at the forefront of the "Posh and Becks" project.
56. Which of the following might be the best title of the text?
A. The Posh Power
B. A Perfect Couple

58. Which of the following is best supported by the fourth paragraph?
A. People still like Victoria better than Beckham.
B. People liked to see Beckham and Victoria get together.
C. To a large degree, Beckham owes his popularity to Victoria.
D. Sports experts used to think little of Beckham.
59. From the passage, we can conclude that at home _____ .
A. Beckham listens to his wife
B. Victoria listens to her husband
C. Beckham and Victoria discuss and do everything together
D. Beckham has no mind of his own
60. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means ____ .

You've got a problem. You're going to go to university in a different town and you need somewhere to live. Or perhaps you just don't get on with your parents. What can you do? Have you ever thought of sharing a flat?
I know all about it because I've been sharing flats for the past four years, since I moved to Edinburgh to study. I must admit my first experience was a bit of a disaster. I saw an advert in the newspaper from a girl who had a flat and was looking for a flat mate. When I met her, she seemed really nice, and I noticed that she had lots of great CDs I wanted to hear and a big TV. However, I changed my mind about her a few days after I moved in. I came home from college one day and threw my books and jacket onto the living room sofa. My flat mate looked at them, looked at me and shouted: "I hope you're not going to
leave those there!" It was then I found out that she was absolutely obsessive(着魔似的) about being tidy. It was obvious that we were incompatible（合不来）,
as I'm definitely not the world's tidiest person. I moved out after the first month.
I then decided to try sharing a house with several people. I rented a room in a big old house, which I shared with four other girls (two Brazilians，a Russian, and an Italian). It was great because the house was always full of young people from all over the world and we had lots of parties. However, there were three problems. Firstly, it was almost impossible to do any work because the house was so noisy. Secondly, there was only one bathroom, and there was always someone in it, especially the first thing in the morning when I was already late for class. But the biggest arguments we had were always the day the phone bill arrived!
After a year the foreign girls went home, and I decided to look for a new, preferably quieter flat! This time I decided to share with a friend, somebody I already knew well. We’ve been living here now for nearly a year and we get on
really well -- except for her irritating(气人的) habits of eating my yogurts(milk)
and finishing the coffee! But it's great having someone else to help pay the rent, to share their dinner with you when you're too exhausted to cook, and who, unlike your parents or your partner, doesn't mind what time you get up or if you've left your bedroom in a mess. And best of all, when you've had a bad day or you've broken up with your boyfriend you know there's always someone to talk to.
61. Why did the writer move out again from the big old house?
A. Because she couldn't do any homework due to the noise.
B. Because she was always late when she lived there.
C. Because she always left the room in a mess.
D. Because the foreign girls had left.
62. What does the underlined "partner" mean?
A. Friend.
B. Roommate.
C. Husband/Wife.
D. Parent.
63. We can know from the passage that _____ .
A. the writer is a college student
B. the writer is a foreigner
C. the writer can't get along well with others
D. the writer doesn't like to live with her friend
64. What is the intention of the author?
A. To persuade the reader not to share a flat.
B. To tell us how to get along well with the flat mate.
C. To show her opinion about sharing a fiat.
D. To tell us the university life.
65. What is the attitude of the writer towards flat-sharing?
A. She is against it.
B. She is for it.
C. She is upset with it.
D. She is worried about it.
C
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
"Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

Can we walk out a straight line? The question is much more difficult to
answer than you think. Believe it or not, your eyes and ears help you to walk!
A recent experiment held in Japan shows that it is almost impossible for people to walk exactly straight for 60 metres. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and asked them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 metres away at normal speed. Each man had to wear socks soaked with red ink and walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor. The footprints revealed that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line.
Researchers found that people readjust the direction of walking at regular intervals. The amount of the meandering differed from subject to subject. This suggests that none of us can walk in a strictly straight line. Rather, we meander, primarily due to a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs(四肢).
Our body is actually semicircular, so steps by the left and right leg of a person are different. As a result, although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction. Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closing, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight. It's all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows.
When you spin the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness(眩晕) is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, thus you walk in a curved line, or a spiral!
71. Which of the following is true about the experiment held in Japan?
A. All the participants are healthy men with a good sense of direction.
B. None of the participants finished the 60 metres.
C. The footprints left by the participants are red.
D. The experiment was done in different places.
72. The underlined word "meander" means _____.
A. to follow a winding course
B. to move aimlessly
C. to walk straight
D. to adjust directions
73. We cannot walk exactly straight because ____.
A. our limbs have some difficulty in keeping balance
B. the shape of our body is irregular
C. our left legs and right legs are not the same
D. we readjust the directions of walking regularly
74. We can hardly stand still after turning around a lot with our eyes closed because _____.
A. we feel sick
B. our central nerves are disturbed
C. the liquid inside our inner ear will go on turning for a while after our body
stops moving
D. our eyes determine if we can stand still
75. The purpose of writing the article is to ______.
A. point out the importance of noticing everyday science
B. give background information about a latest study
C. prove that ears and eyes help us to walk
D. explain why we can't walk in a strictly straight line

⑴One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.
⑵Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.
⑶There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could
say “____________________________________________.”
⑷Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka.
⑸It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
⑹If you visit a pub in a group, it is importa nt to pay for your ‘round’. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.
⑺So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”
