I seemed to have a hole instead of a _37_. I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dinning-room. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper I had ever seen ! _38_ , I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better _39_ there than in any other hotel; and that was _40_ I wanted just then.

I had tried to get the right _44_ and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.

It was _47_ that English people didnt understand their language. The waiter _48_ his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter- enough to feed a small army- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left _49_.

But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become kidults (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. Other kidults still enjoy childrens stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a childrens book! Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society, said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right. Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood. 56. We can infer from the article that _. A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they cant give up their toys B. Bloomsbury knows some kidults dont want people to know that they are kidults C. Kidults like to have vitamins very much D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much 57. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _. A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids B. it can help kidults feel relaxed C. it is helpful to solve some social problems D. it can make people loyal to ones parents 58. According to the writer, _. A. being a kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problems C. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow upB If women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用)? That is for you to decide. 59. Designers and big stores always make money_. A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions C. by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothing D. because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing 60. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _. A. a waste of money B. a waste of time C. an expression of taste D. an expression of creativity 61. New fashions in clothing are created for _. A. the commercial exploitation of women B. the womens strength of character C. basic qualities of inconstancy and instability D. an important contribution to society 62. By saying the conclusions to be drawn are obvious ( Line One to Line Two, Paragraph Four), the writer means that _. A. womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at B. women are better able to put up with discomfort C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionC While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased. For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Weve been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru, said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. The technology has performed well, and were pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year. The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the balls location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports. FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next years World Cup. 63. Carlos Technologies is pleased because _. A. football fans are angry with referees B. their new product can satisfy football fans C. their new product will have a good market D. they can sell a lot of football in the future 64. In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,. mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy means _. A. Carlos Technologies cant afford the high price for advertising their product B. Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisement C. Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their product D. Referees mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies new product 65. The underlined word feedback probably means _. A. information given back by a user B. advice given by someone C. supplying food to customers D. food given back by consumers 66. The new product has drawn attention from some _. A. famous people B. referees C. big companies D. countriesD London-A morning train rides away, across the channel. English kids discuss the Liverpools football team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City. As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs. Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down. For me, the difference is that London is real, alive, said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert. Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. I am French, but Ill stay in London, she said. There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. I think people laugh more in Paris, she said. Both cities have changed beyond recognition, said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better. But certainly not cheaper. In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they dont have to choose. I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized , she said. In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares. 67. It can be inferred that _. A. Paris and London are the two biggest cities in the world B. in the 19th century, Dickens told his stories in the two cities C. London and Paris used to be separated D. Liverpool is a
