They wanted to play for 90 hours and add 6 hours to the record. Each team had 9 players, with 5 at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 oclock in the evening.The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a short time, they had to play again. On the second night, they fell asleep as soon as they stopped, Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands, but the only serious problem was a psychological（心理学的）one. Each boy was thinking: Why am I doing this? How can I play any longer? After the third night, the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours, the players got better. For the last few minutes, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!51Before this basketball marathon, the world record was .A84 hours B86 hours C90 hours D96 hours52The first night was hard for the players because .Athey were too excited Bthey only slept for a short timeCno one watched them play Dit was very long53“the players looked as fresh as when they started.”Here “fresh”means .A不熟练的 B兴奋不己的 C精神饱满的 D伤痕累累的54Which of the following is Not true.ASome of the boys were hurt when they playedBIt was hard for the players to fall asleep at nightCThe boys started playing at 6 oclock in the eveningDIn the end,all the boys felt happy BWhen we think of Hollywood, we think of films and famous film stars. They are part of Hollywoods history. Today people make films in other places,too. Not all famous film stars live in Hollywood. But Hollywood is still a very special city in Los Angeles, California.You can easily see where Hollywood in Los Angeles. There is a big sign（标牌）on the hills. It says “HOLLYWOOD”.The white letters are fifty feet tall. You can see the sign from far away. The Hollywood sign is a famous Hollywood landmark（标记）in Los Angeles. Many postcards show this famous Hollywood landmark.On the hills of Hollywood, there is also the Hollywood Bowl. This is an open-air theater. It is one of the largest open-air theaters in the world. It has seventeen thousand seats and a very different stage（舞台）.The design（设计）of the stage was made by a great American named Frank Lloyd Wright. You can listen to all kinds of concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. 55We learn from the passage that_ .AHollywood can just be seen from faraway.BHollywood is now a place only for travelersCall the films are made in HollywoodDHollywood is part of Los Angeles56The word “special”in the first paragraph means_ .Anew Brich Cfamous Dunusual57At the Hollywood Bowl,_ .Amost of American postcards are madeBonly 7000 people can get togetherCmusic can be enjoyedDyou can hardly listen to different kinds of concerts58It seems that _.Asome famous film stars dont choose to live in HollywoodBfilm stars dont think Hollywood a good place to make films nowCthe Holly wood Bowl is larger than any other open-air theater in the worldDthe Hollywood Bowl is a hill in HollywoodCEvery people（民族）uses its own special（非凡的）words to show its ideas and feelings. Some expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is“Wheres the beef?”It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be In the early 1980s “Wheres the beef?”was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time.Beef, of course,is the meat form a cow, and no food is more popular in America than a hamburger（汉堡包）made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called his restaurants“McDonalds”.Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company（公司）called“Wendys”said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonalds or anyone elses .The Wendys Company began to use the expression“Wheres the beef?”to make people know that Wendys hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendys television advertisement（广告）showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Wheres the beef?”she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendys hamburger restaurants was a success .As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression“Wheres the beef?”59_ started Mc Donalds restaurant.ARay Kroc BMcDonald CWendy DThree old women60Other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants because they thought .Athey could sell hamburgers at a low priceBhamburgers were easy to makeCbeef was very popular in AmericaDthey could make a lot of money61Wendys made the expression known to everybody .Awith many old women eating hamburgersBby a television advertisementCwhile selling bread with a bit of meat in itDat the McDonalds restaurant62We can learn from the passage that the expression“Wheres the beef?”means .Athe beef in hamburgers is not as much as it is said to beBthe hamburgers are not as good as they are said to beCsomething is not so good as one saysDWendys is the biggest DStarting from April, 2010, you wont be hearing the word “NBA” on sports programs on CCTV. Instead, sport host will give the full Chinese name when they refer to the NBA National Basketball Association. You also wont hear any other English abbreviations (缩略词) on CCTVs Chinese programs, such as GDP (gross domestic product), or WTO (World Trade Organization). You will hear their Chinese translations.CCTV received a notice from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television telling it to avoid using English-language abbreviations in their reports to protect the “purity” of the Chinese language. A few other TV stations also received the notice. Fu Zhenguo, an editor of Peoples Daily, is one of the people who suggested the change. “Firstly, using English in a Chinese-speaking environment is against Chinese law,” he said. “Then, using English on Chinese TV programs is unfair to people who dont understand English. Whats worse, it will have a bad language influence on kids and teenagers.” A lot of netizens have criticized the move, saying that it will cause problems for them. “I understand what CD, VCD and DVD mean when I hear them. But I wont know what the TV programs are talking about if I hear those products full Chinese names,” a netizen wrote in a BBS post.
