24、t 1/BDavid Beckham is the king of the football world, but it is his wife Victoria, former “Posh Spice“ girl, who makes it possible. She was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor. Even now that he has left Manchester United for Royal Madrid, instead of Barcelona or Milan
25、, it might be because of her.“Posh Spice“ has become a name for Victoria. The Collins Dictionary even has the term “Posh and Beckham“ (Victoria and Beckham).Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer with a bright future at Manchester United, but that was about
26、 all.Since he married her in 1999, he has become the most famous player British sports have ever produced, and, some say, the most influential 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 Brita
27、in. “She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and, all of a sudden, he was a top list celebrity.“Its 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 in 2000, Beckham left a Unite
28、d training session to look after him, and this led to his being dropped from the team. Many were sure it was Victoria who has 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
29、 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 Back“ project.（分数：10.00）(1).From the passage, we can conclude that at home_.（分数：2.00）A.Beckham listens to his wifeB.Victoria listens to her husbandC.Beckham and Victor
30、ia discuss and do everything togetherD.Beckham has no mind of his own(2).Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham_.（分数：2.00）A.had become world-famousB.was completely unknownC.was an ordinary football playerD.was not so influential(3).Which of the following is best supported by the fourth paragraph?（分数
31、：2.00）A.People still like Victoria better than Beckham.B.People liked to see Beckham and Victoria together.C.To a large degree, Beckham owes his popularity to Victoria.D.Sports experts used to think little of Beckham.(4).Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Beckham
32、 is tile most influential man in Britain.B.In 2000, Beckham was dropped from his team because he spent a holiday in the United States.C.Beckham is now playing for Real Madrid.D.Brooklyn was born in 2000.(5).Which of the following might be tile best title of the text?（分数：2.00）A.The Posh PowerB.A Perf
33、ect CoupleC.Who Is More InfluentialBeckham or VictoriaD.“Posh and Back“ ProjectBText 2/BThe black robin is one of the worlds rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there; in
34、1977 there were fewer than ten. These are the only black robins left in the world. The island has many other birds, of course, of different kinds, large and small; these seem to multiply very happily.Steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. Detailed studies are going on, and a public appea
35、l for money has been made. The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then tie supplied with the robins food it eats only one kind of seed. Thousands of the required plants are at present
36、being cultivated in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our lime at least.Is all this concern a waste of human effort? Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies o
37、ut? Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?In the earth s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of successand died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt the
38、mselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time. Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early. This is Natures proven method of operation.The rule of selectionthe survival of the fittestis the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. H
39、e, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most. You may take it as another rule that when, at last, man shows signs of dying out , no other creature will extend a paw to postpone our departure. For Nature, though fair, is a hard-hearted mistress. S
40、he has no favorites.Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do something about it.（分数：10.00）(1).The black robins are getting fewer and fewer because _.（分数：2.00）A.there are too many other kinds of birds on the islandB.of lack of foodC.they ca
41、nt multiplyD.there is no room for them on the island(2).A public appeal for money has been made to _（分数：2.00）A.protect some rare wild creaturesB.plant the kind of seedC.awake the conscience of mankindD.make a home for the organizers(3).The creatures that _can survive.（分数：2.00）A.come across some chal
42、lenges in their livesB.dont come across any challenges in their livesC.grow toughD.fit the surroundings perfectly(4).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.Nature is unfair to man.B.What the earth offers makes man survive.C.Everything will be selected by Nature including man.D.Small an
43、imals will certainly survive for a longer time than man.(5).Creatures will _when man is dying out.（分数：2.00）A.not help himB.not step on himC.also be dyingD.hurry outBText 3/BIn Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessio
44、ns or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more co
45、ncerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works, In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employ
46、ees“. Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part-time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers“ make up about 10 pe
47、rcent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since
48、 the 19741975 recession. All this leads some to argue that the Japanese system is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least seniority. The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment“ suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee
