Welcome to the Club! and answer the questions that follow.I came here to teach English in my early 20s and eventually moved into business, running a small import-export operation. I majored in Mandarin Chinese back in the U.S. and continued my languag e studies here. I’m now fluent in Chinese and my reading is just about perfect, I’m married to a local woman and have three kids who were all born and raised here. Granted, I haven’t got Chinese citizenship, as that would have involved me renouncing my Ame rican citizenship. I wasn’t prepared to do that as it would have caused me too many headaches, not least of which would have been having to get a visa every time I wanted to go back to visit family. But I have permanent residency in China and consider this my home. Despite all this, most Chinese people will always see me as an outsider. When I speak Mandarin, some people sometimes stare at me like I’m from another planet as they just can’t get it into their heads that a foreigner can speak their language. Also, as an African-American and a fairly tall guy, I am constantly stereotyped. People will ask if I can play basketball and are incredulous when I say I’m not a big fan. Once when I had just come through customs, I was mobbed by a huge group of fans who were waiting to greet some NBA stars who were visiting. It took me ages to explain that they had the wrong guy. Most of the stereotypes people have here are pretty harmless and there is no malice intended, but it can be pretty annoying, especially when peop le act amazed on discovering you’re a businessman.43. Which of the following is true about the writer?a. He has Chinese citizenship.b. He enjoys basketball.c. He has spent many years in his adopted country.d. He has had no issues adapting in his adopted country.44. What do people find hard to believe about the writer?a. He is an NBA star.b. He is an American businessman.c. He has so many children.d. He speaks Mandarin fluently.45. Why did fans mistake the writer for someone famous?a. He is black.b. He is tall.c. He looks American.d. All of the above.46. The word malice is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. harmb. visac. residencyd. stereotype(B)Directions:Directions: Read the following excerpt from Smarty Pants: The Stars with Big Brains and answer the questions that follow.Conan O’BrienThere’s no doubt that the late-night talk show host has the gift of the gab. He’s known for poking fun at anyone and everyone in the entertainment industry including himself. Illustrative of his knack for irreverent, quirky humor is the fact that he was a writer and producer for The Simpsons for a couple of seasons before he made a name for himself. Some might feel that his brand of humor is far from intellectual. However, there is no disputing the 50-year-old’s academic credentials. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard with a degree in history in 1985.Natalie PortmanThe Israeli-born actress is the perfect example of how beauty and brains need not be mutually exclusive. In addition to starring in many critically acclaimed films, she is known for her political-activism, supporting causes like same-sex marriage in the U.S. and women’s rights in developing countries. Although she made her big screen debut in 1994 at the tender age of 12, she did not let it affect her education. Like O’Brien, Portman attended Harvard, where she got her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2003 while continuing her work as an actress. Furthermore, Portman is also a polyglot, with fluency in Hebrew, French and Japanese.47. What did Conan O’Brien do before he was famous?a. studyb. drawc. actd. sell48. According to the excerpt, what do Portman and O’Brien have in common?a. They are 50 years old.b. They graduated in the same year.c. They majored in the same subject.d. They studied at the same university.49. Where is Portman originally from?a. Franceb. Japanc. the Middle Eastd. the U.S.50.

Reading ComprehensionKoko is a unique primate who was born on July 4th, 1971 at the San Francisco Zoo and has lived most of her life in Woodside, California. She is a female gorilla that is able tounderstand more than 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language. According to her owner, Francine “Penny” Patterson, Koko is not only able to make signs using hand gestures and body language, but also has the uncanny ability to understand approximately 2,000 words of spoken English. As with other primate language experiments, the degree to which Koko has mastered these signs remains controversial. Some critics have doubts as to whether suchmastery shows real language abilities, or is likely just a good demonstration of mimicry.Whatever the reason for her special abilities, she is still an amazing creature who is a joy to watch. Koko is short for the name Hanabiko which means “fireworks child” in Japanese. This is in reference to her date of birth which falls on Independence Day in the U.S. and celebrated with fireworks.17.

Reading Comprehension(A)Directions: Read the following excerpt from Elon Musk’s Mission to Mars and answer the questions that follow.Elon Musk has a mission, and any time the South African-born entrepreneur sets out to do something, he usually ends up achieving his goal. Musk started out as a tech wiz before he had even hit his teens, designing a video game at the tender age of 12 years old.In 2002, he achieved his major breakthrough into the big time when he sold PayPal, the online payments company that he had cofounded only three years earlier and established the electric car company Tesla the following year. It has taken Tesla the best part of a decade to make it into the black, but Musk firmly believes that, as technologies improve, and prices come down, consumers will embrace his green machines. Although Tesla grabbed most of the headlines in the period after he sold PayPal, Musk had actually set up another major enterprise in 2002. With the establishment of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX), Musk revealed to the world that he was setting his sights much higher. In May 2012, SpaceX made history when it became the first privately owned company to successfully dock a spacecraft with the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX sent one of its Dragon capsules up to the ISS with a 400-kilogram payload consisting of food and clothing for the six-man team of astronauts that mans the station. Having dropped off the provisions the Dragon returned to Earth where it was fished out of Pacific waters off the coast of Mexico, three weeks after its departure.43. Which word best describes Elon Musk?a. businesspersonb. astronautc. marketerd. explorer44.

Cameron was also responsible for the Oscar-winning movie Titanic, and followed this up in 2003 with the documentary Ghosts of the Abyss, which saw him explore the world’s most famous shipwreck. Two years later, he was underwater again for the documentary Aliens of the Deep, which examined some of the incredible creatures that lurk in the Atlan tic Ocean. Exploring the ocean’s depths is clearly something of an obsession for the Canadian filmmaker.In 2012, Cameron took things a stage further, as he descended to the very bottom of the sea alone in a “vertical torpedo.” As part of a National Geogr aphic expedition, Cameron became the first man to journey to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, the deepest point of the world’s oceans. The 11-kilometer descent took two hours and 36 minutes, while the return journey back to the surfac e was a lot quicker at roughly 70 minutes. Using a variety of tools and technology, Cameron’s vehicle – a one-man submarine called the Deepsea Challenger – crawled along the seabed as the director-turned-explorer attempted to collect samples and shoot video footage.47.

Reading Comprehension(A)Directions: Read the following excerpt from Box Office Bombs and answer the questions that follow.Kevin’s Costly MisstepsThe 1990s were a strange time for Kevin Costner. He enjoyed unparalleled successes followed by major failures. At the beginning of the decade, he won seven Oscars for his epic western, Dances with Wolves, which he starred in and directed. Five years later came Waterworld. Set in an age when the polar ice caps have melted and most of the world is submerged, this fantasy film was the most expensive movie ever made at the time. The odd thing about Waterworld is that, while it is often cited as a film that lost millions of dollars, it actually turned a profit – eventually. Still, it was nominated for four Golden Raspberries – the awards for bad movies – and won two. Two years later, in 1997, Costner did even better (or, rather, worse) by winning a record five Razzies for The Postman.Cat-astrophic FailureThere are some films that are so awful that even their own stars are embarrassed to be associated with them. Catwoman falls into this category. Stepping up to accept her Razzie for worst actress in 2005, Halle Barry thanked the film company for putting her in an appalling movie. “It was just what my career needed,” she added, sarcastically. Berry’s joke was understandable – she had won the Oscar for best actress just four years earlier.43. When did Kevin Costner enjoy the most fame?a. early 90sb. late 90sc. only in 1995d. only in 199744. According to the excerpt how many awards (good or bad) did Costner win in the 90s?a. 7b. 14c. 16d. 1745. How was Halle Barry sarcastic about her Golden Raspberry win?a. She made a joke about the Golden Raspberries.b. She expressed gratitude for her Oscar.c. She expressed appreciation for her role.d. No information is given.46. The word appalling is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. polarb. epicc. embarrassedd. terrible(B)Directions: Read the following excerpt from Communication Breakdown: Major Advertising Failures and answer the questions that follow.Mistaken IdentityWhat brand of batteries do you use in your TV remote control? Without looking, you probably don’t have a clue, right? The battery brand Energizer found out the hard way that a catchy ad campaign doesn’t necessarily translate into a boost to sales when it failed to capitalize on a hugely popular series of commercials starting in the 1980s. At the time, the leading brand was Duracell, which had used a drum-playing rabbit called the Duracell Bunny as its mascot since the early 1970s. Seeing a chance to cash in on the back of this character, Energizer created its own Energizer Bunny which was shown outlasting Duracell’s bunny. There was not much to differentiate Energizer’s rabbit from Duracell’s (they gave him a pair of shades to make him look cooler), but the commercials were a hit with consumers, due in part to the light-hearted mocking of a competitor. The problem was, while everyone recognized the bunny and the campaign, hardly anyone knew which company was behind it. In fact, a study showed that 40 percent of people thought the Energizer ads were for Duracell. Furthermore, despite the popularity of the commercials, Energizer sales actually dropped.47. According to the excerpt what prompted Energizer to create the ads?a. It wanted to create a unique bunny.b. It wanted to make fun of itself.c. It wanted to make fun of its competitor.d. It wanted to create an international campaign.48. What problem or problems did Energizer encounter?a. People loved the ads but hated the product.b. People loved the ads but could recall the product.c. People felt bad that they copied the Duracell bunny.d. People were turned off by the bunny’s shades.49. What did the study mentioned in the excerpt show?a. Sales increased for Duracell.b. Sales declined for Duracell.c. Sales remained steady for Energizer.d. Sales fell for Energizer.50. Which of the following is closest in meaning to mascot?a. representativeb. campaignc. competitord. shades。

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following excerpt from Music to My Ears and answer the questions that follow.Paul, Accountant, 35Favorite Genre: Gangster RapFavorite Artist: Wu Tang ClanLet me start by saying, I know full well that my choice in music is not everyone’s cup of tea.It surprises people because of my rather strait-laced profession. I love to pump my tunes whenI have guests round for parties, but I would never make anyone listen to my music if they saidthey didn’t like it. There’s quite a lot of bad language in the rap music I listen to, but there’s also a lot of eloquence. People hear the violent lyrics and imagery and think that gangster rap is just mindless gibberish. But many of the best emcees are highly literate and greatstorytellers. It’s really no different from Hollywood. You don’t hear people saying Robert De Niro or Al Pacino are bad guys in real life just because they play gangsters on the big screen.So why does everyone assume the rappers are thugs and criminals just because they paint these pictures of urban life?17. Why are people surprised that Paul is into gangster rap?a. because of his jobb. because of his hairstylec. because he is so gentled. b ecause he doesn’t like to party18.

It is a pitythe same cannot be said for the great fairy hoax of theearly 20th century. This hoax may cause you to burstwith laughter now, but at the time many believers defended its credibility. This very well-planned hoax would continue to fool people for years to come!Having appeared throughout Western cultures since the middle ages, the legend of fairies is widespread. Arguably the most famous of fairy hoaxes is the Cottingley Fairies. A series of photographs were taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths who happen to be youngcousins living in the north of England. The photographs depict the two girls with the supposed mythological creatures. Taken in 1917, the photos divided their growing audience, including the parents of Elsie and Frances.Of course many suspected they were fakes, but others including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, saw them as authentic evidence of the existence of these spirits. It was not until 1981 that Wright and Griffiths finally admitted the photos were actually designed using cardboard cut-outs of the tiny winged creatures. If fact, Wright was an accomplished artist and photo technician so it is difficult in a way to call this hoax a lame attempt to fool people. After all, they managed to fool half the world, didn’t they?46. When did the fairy hoax originally take place?a. the late 20th centuryb. 1981c. the early 20th centuryd. the middles ages47. What does the author mean by the jury is still out?a. Cryptids exist for sure.b. Cryptids might exist.c. Fairies exist for sure. c. Fairies might exist.48. Which of the following is closest in meaning to authentic?a. actualb. fictionalc. burstingd. accomplished49. What were the fairies made out of?a. real tiny peopleb. paperc. tiny winged insectsd. No information is given.50. Why were the pictures of fairies so believable?a. The girls used cutting-edge technology.b. They used pictures from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s books.c.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following excerpt from Looking for a Little Romance and answer the questions that follow.Take NoteWomen love to receive an intimate message from their lovers, and most men are no different in this respect. How often do most women write cards or notes to their boyfriends or husbands?I’m betting it’s a pretty low figure. It probably has something to do with feeling like you are back in high school, passing notes to the boy at the desk next to yours. You shouldn’t feel self-conscious about written correspondence, though, and there shouldn’t have to be a reason.Writing a card to your man is a great way to show him you’re thinking about him and how much you care. Try leaving it on his pillow before he goes to work so he’ll see it in themorning and look at it during his work day.Welcome SurprisesRather than organizing things on the weekend as is usual, try spontaneously suggesting a night out during the week or at a time when he is least likely to expect it. Taking the initiative like this is a really nice touch. To make it an even more special night, you could try setting something up in advance, like booking a table at the top spot in town or getting hold of tickets to a ball game. Although his idea of a great night out might not be exactly the same as yours, it’s all about the effort that you put into making your partner feel special.17. According to the excerpt who most likes to receive written messages?a. only menb. only womenc. both sexesd. No information is given.18. According to the writer, why do people not write notes?a. They are selfish.b. They feel ashamed.c. Notes aren’t easy to write.d. Notes are too intimate.19. According to the writer, when should couples go out?a. When the weather is good.b. When it is a special occasion.c. When you have a restaurant coupon.d. When it is not planned.20.

However, its status as one of the most popular brands did not prevent it from suffering a double whammy in a disastrous marketing drive that began in 1997. The campaign centered around a series of commercials featuring a cutesy Spanish-speaking chihuahua whose catchphrase was “Yo quiero Taco Bell(I want Taco Bell).” The line was soon being repeated nationwide, but Taco Bell's products did not see a corresponding increase in popularity. In fact, sales dropped by six percent and the dog commercials were shelved in 2000. Taco Bell,s then CEO also got the boot. To make matters worse, Taco Bell lost a lawsuit in 2003 against two men who claimed the company had stolen the idea for a Spanish-speaking dog from them. A court found in their favor and Taco Bell was forced to stump up US$42 million in damages.47.According to the excerpt who came up with the idea of a Spanish-speaking chihuahua?a.
