18、n the TV news before they go to work. When reading magazines, some people might first go to the section on astrological predictions to determine whats in store for them in the coming day, week or month. This interest in astrology is especially strong at the beginning of a new year. Immediately befor

19、e a new year, many astrological experts are making predictions and giving advice. It seems that astrology is gaining popularity, but how popular is astrology and is it actually trustworthy?According to a study by searchterms. com, the word astrology is the most searched topic on the Internet, and a

20、search for astrology on Google will bring up nearly two million websites. A study by the newspaper USA Today shows that a third of all Americans believe in astrology and spend almost $100 million a year on it. More surprisingly, the fastest-growing group of believers in America is made up of manager

21、s and professionals. No wonder Donald Regan, former White House Chief of Staff, said, “Its common knowledge that a large percentage of Wall Street brokers use astrology.”The most famous astrologer is Nostradamus. Long ago, he correctly predicted events such as the Second World War, the killing of U.

22、 S. President John F. Kennedy, and most recently, the attack on the World Trade Center. Another famous astrologer, Frau Elsbeth Ebertin, accurately predicted that Adolph Hitler would become Fhrerthe leader after she was given Hitlers birth chart. In fact, Hitler himself was a believer in astrology.

23、Its thought that he used an astrologer throughout the Second World War. The wife of former American president Ronald Reagan, Nancy, was also a firm believer in astrology. She employed an astrologer to ask about President Reagans future safety after the president was shot.Though some people may consi

24、der astrology superstitious (迷信的), others think it is both a science and an art. Since the moon has an effect on the ocean, and 75 percent of the human body is made up of water, it is reasonable to say that astrology, a study of the stars, may affect humans as well. Therefore, if viewed in this way,

25、 astrology may be believable and it is easy to see why it is so popular.36. What is the main idea of the article?A. More and more people, especially stars, are interested in astrology.B. Astrology is becoming popular and has some basis in science.C. Famous astrologers can predict events correctly.D.

26、 People should use astrology every day.37. Which of the following events was NOT predicted by Nostradamus?A. The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.B. The killing of President Kennedy.C. The outbreak of World War .D. The birth of Fhrer Hitler.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. Astrolo

27、gy is one of the most popular topics on the Internet.B. Astrology can help change peoples lives for the better.C. Only a few Wall Street brokers use astrology.D. Most of Americans believe in astrology.39. The author tends to think astrology is _.A. boring B. puzzling C. believable D. strangeBIf you

28、want to write a movie script (腳本) yourself but dont know how, what would you do? The following can be of some help to you.There are only three parts necessary in a script: the Scene Heading, the Visual Exposition and the Dialogue.The Scene Heading begins with either “EXT.” or “INT.”. EXT. shows that

29、 the scene takes place outdoors, while INT. is used when the scene takes place indoors, for example, inside a room. After that, the exact place of the scene is given, such as “HOTEL ROOM.” The last thing that must be mentioned is whether it is NIGHT or DAY.The Visual Exposition is a description of t

30、he action or movement that takes place on the screen, and should include ONLY what you would see if you were watching the screen. For the first time, and only the first time, a character appears in the script, the name is capitalized (大寫), and should be followed by a short description that includes

31、age and build, for example: The Dialogue follows the Visual Exposition. Each characters name should be capitalized in the center of the page, followed by the words that are to be spoken on the next line. Do not include any description of feelings before the lines of dialogue. If you consider it nece

32、ssary to show a character gives a line in a certain way, for example, “angrily,” this should be included in the Visual Exposition above the lines, such as, “Cynthias face shows her anger.” But remember, Visual Exposition should ONLY show action we can see.40. In a script the Scene Heading tells _ th

33、e story takes place.A. where and when B. at what time of a dayC. what has happened when D. on which day of the week41. If a story takes place in a park on a Friday morning, which of the Scene Headings is right?A. INT. FRIDAY-DAY. B. EXT. FRIDAY-NIGHT.C. INT. PARK-NIGHT. D. EXT. PARK-DAY.42. The Visu

34、al Exposition in a script only includes actions or movements _.A. that some main characters do B. that can be seen on the screenC. that the writer of the story describes D. that happen in outdoor activities43. Which of the following short scripts is right?A.EXT. JOHNS HOUSE-DAYThere are many people

35、talking with each other. Amy, in red dress, stands under a tree. JOHN is walking to her.John Hi, long time no see. Oh, you are so beautiful today!B.INT. BENS ROOM-DAYBen is sleeping. CAROL, 12, thin, beautiful, rushes into the room because she knows they will be late.CAROL Ben, get up! You overslept

36、 again!C.INT. LIVING ROOM-DAYIt is raining outside. Daniel and Brian are watching TV. There is a glass of water on the desk.BRIANLook at him! Hes dancing!D. EXT. KITCHEN-NIGHTCathy is quarreling with her husband as she is cooking.CATHY(Angrily) Sure! Im mad at what you did. When are you going to lea

37、rn to think of someone beside yourself?CCheerleading Is a SportThe New York Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport.A sport, according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors, is a “physical activ

38、ity against a competitor, governed by rules under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants.” Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.Cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Like gym

39、nasts, cheerleaders must learn to do a lot of movements, such as jumping, twisting and so on. It is not rare to see cheerleaders “flying” high up into the sky and falling to be caught by the “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation.Just as basketball and football have rul

40、es for competitive play, so does cheerleading. The performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.A cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, a

41、nd creativity. Cheerleading is a team sport, so the performance is also awarded according to the cooperation and synchronization. That is to say, the girls need to act like one person. Otherwise, first place is out of reach.According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research, che

42、erleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women, which is partly because they do not wear protective equipment. However, the main reason is that cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, the proper equipment is not provided to ensure safety. Instead, the gi

43、rls use whatever space is available. More recognition of cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.So why do many Americans think cheerleading is not a sport? It cannot be because cheerleaders do not use balls or other objects. Wrestling, swimming, track, skating and boxing are r

44、ecognized sports that do not use balls.Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.44. What is NOT the standard for sport

45、 according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors?A. Physical movement is required.B. The number of participants is limited.C. The aim of a sport is to beat the competitor.D. A winner is finally decided after the competition.45. The underlined word “synchronization” in Paragraph 5 p

46、robably means _.A. being creative in designing the movementsB. presenting a challenging performanceC. doing the movement at the same timeD. setting a practical competitive goal46. Which is the main reason for more injuries to women in cheerleading according to the author?A. Physical activities. B. S

47、trong competition.C. Carelessness. D. Less recognition.47. What is the purpose of the author to write the passage?A. To discuss the standards of a sport.B. To introduce the sport of cheerleading.C. To invite people to take part in cheerleading.D. To suggest improving cheerleading equipment.DConsumer

48、 Behavior“Consumer behavior” is the behavior that consumers, either people or organizations, show in seeking, purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of (處理掉) products and services. The study of consumer behavior is the study of how people make decisions to spend their available resources on pro

49、ducts and services.All consumers face varying problems to which solutions are vital to the existence of most people, and the economic well-being of all. The process is complex, as choices must be made regarding what, why, how, when, where and how often to buy an item. The answers to these questions

50、would provide companies with important input for product design improvement and marketing strategy.The person who purchases a product is not always the only user of the product. Nor is the purchaser necessarily the person who makes the decision or pays for the product. Thus the marketplace activitie

51、s of people have three functions: the consumer, the person who uses the product or service; the purchaser, the person who carries out the activities to get the product or service; and the payer, the person who provides the money or other objects of value to obtain the product or service. Marketers m

52、ust decide whom to direct their marketing efforts toward. For some products or services, they must find the person who is most likely to influence the decision. Some marketers believe that the buyer of the products is the best choice; others believe it is the user of the product, while still others

53、play it safe by directing their promotional efforts to both buyers and users.In addition to studying how consumers use the products they buy, consumer researchers are also interested in how people dispose of their once-new purchases when they are finished with them because the marketers must match p

54、roduction to the frequency with which consumers buy replacements. It is also important to society as a whole, as solid waste disposal has become a major environmental problem that marketers must address in their development of products and packaging. Many companies have begun to reproduce old compon

55、ents to install in new products, because reproducing is often cheaper, easier and more efficient than recycling.48. What does “consumer behavior” study?A. What makes people satisfied with products or services.B. When the producers make improvement on product designs.C. How people decide to spend mon

56、ey on products or services.D. How often people purchase products or services in real life.49. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Payers of products or services are in fact purchasers.B. Purchasing decisions are not connected to peoples well-being.C. Marketers agree to direct their promotional

57、efforts to only users.D. Planning ways of exposing products to potential consumers is marketers job.50. From the passage we can learn that companies would prefer to _.A. make their products last a longer timeB. pay for the cost of recycling materialsC. spend more money on packagingD. limit the choic
