III. Reading (40 points)
A
    For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “We can do without railways” people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they’re dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes.
   And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a
single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth , untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason.
56. Some people think the railways are  dead for many reasons except that____.
A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains
B. oil is expensive today
C. trains are slow
D. railways lose money 
57. The writer’s idea seems to be that ____.
A. we can do without railways
B. trains have much in common with motorcars and planes
C. motorcars and planes are not as good as trains
D. trains are as good as motorcars and planes 
58. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?
A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.
B. The railway station is usually at the center of a city.
C. When you get off the plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D. No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does.

Glynis Davis:
I first piled on the ponds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bage of fish and chips didn’t make any difference but the scales don’t lie.
 Roz Juma:
To be honest, I never weigh myself any more I’ve leant to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it.

Lesley Codwin:
I was very happy about winning Young Summer of the Year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem——perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again.

Ros Langfod:
Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet …I’m really good on a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate——my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.
59.  What do you think the four women were all talking about?
A. Their own slimming matter.               B. Their life after marriage.
C. Their work as a housewife.                D. Different diets they prefer
60.  Where are these short passages most likely to be taken from?
A. Talks on the air.                         B. Advertisements on the well.
C. Book in a library.                        D. Magazines for children. 
61.  What does the underlined word “scales” possibly mean?
A. The coach（教练）in the slimming club.
B. Some tool to measure weight.
C. Glynis Davis’ dear husband.
D. The salesperson in a food shop. 
62.  Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?
1. Glynis Davis              a. I put on weight soon after got married
  2. Roz Juma                  b. Fame（名声）doesn’t necessarily mean success
3. Lesley Gowin              c. Facts speak much louder than words
　4.Ros Landford              d. I like myself as I am, and to be what you are
A.1-c;2-d;3-b;4-a   B.1-c;2-b;3-d;4-a  
C.1-d;2-a;3-b;4-c    D.1-a;2-b;3-c;4-d

Chinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go.
Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player. Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, an army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.
Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would
allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions. Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year” because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.
Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts
on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both
of them. Besides needing to work on their upper body strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed, techniques and above all,culture of the NBA.
63.  Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because     ____.
A. he is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in China
B. he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the Rockets

D. he is thought highly of in the international world  
64.Yao Ming can play for NBA if  ____.
A. there is no problem with his visa
B. NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for him
C. time and conditions are proper
D. NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks
65. The underlined phrase “try his hand” in the passage probably means   ____.
A.初试身手     B.碰碰运气      C.成为一员       D.为其效劳
66. NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that  ________.
A. it can show NBA need talents       
B. Wang Zhizhi can have a bright future
C. its whole level will be improved
D. it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous

C. culture                            D. techniques
