It may 31 and flourish(繁茂) in mutual maturity. It may fail in disliked dependence or independence.The first 32 I have of him - of anything, really - is his strength.

After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publishers editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversation into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography, Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.51. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _.A. Jacquelines ended up as an editor rather than as First LadyB. Jacquelines life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editorC. Jacquelines role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editorD. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady52. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Jacquelines two marriages lasted more than 20 yearsB. Jacquelines own publishing firm was set up eventuallyC. Jacquelines achievements were widely knownD. Jacquelines views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited53. The passage is mainly _.A. an introduction of Jacquelines life both as Fist Lady and as an editor.B. a brief account of Jacquelines career as an editor in her last 20 years.C. a brief description of Jacquelines lifelong experiences.D. an analysis of Jacquelines social relations in publishingBFor five days, Edmontons Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and thats the traditional togetherness(友爱）that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation, Riedel said. Its really easy to relax, and its great seeing family and friends have fun together. These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyones musical interests.With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, its easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.54. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to _.A. remind people of the real sense of folk musicB. gather people with different musical tastesC. exhibit the good voices of great talents in folk musicD. collect old stories of folk music55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Its hard for people to appreciate Blues.B. Riedel has volunteered for the festival for at least 5 years.C. It costs people a little to fill up their cups from water stations.D. People have to pay $2 for a plate of food.56. We can learn from the passage that _.A. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is highly recommended.B. people can get tickets easily for the festivalC. driving ones own car to the festival is well organized.D. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to Sunday57. What would be the best title for the passage?A. One Festival for AllB. Folk Music of BluesC. Festival for family GatheringD. Edmontons Downtown ParkCMaybe youre really busy. Maybe you dont have much to say. Or maybe youre just lazy. Not a problem. This free service works by letting you broadcast a group text message to your fiends mobile phones from either your own phone, an instant message or an online form at . All your notes are then stored and displayed on your personal profile page on the site, which includes links to your friends Twitter pages, a thumbnail picture of your choice, and a short bio. All this is what the new service Twitter can bring you. Just remember to keep it short: posts are limited to 140 characters, and the topic is, invariably, “What are you doing?”More often than not, it turns out, Twitters 100,00 members - twice as many as it had just a month ago, according to Twitter business development director Biz Stone - are simply killing time. Even Presidential hopeful John Edwards is on it, although he seems to be the only one thinking about more than lunch. As I type this, Caroline is mulling over some Girl Scout cookies, Ian Hocking is “waiting for Jessica to arrive so we can eat!” and Hlantz is “having a nice cup of Soft Starmint tea.”The chatter (闲话) about Twitter turned into a virtual roar two weeks ago during the South by Southwest Multimedia Festival in Austin, Texas, when the barebones service owned by Blogger founder Evan Williams, 34, was named the best blogging tool and attendees used it to meet up at parties. Nevertheless, Twitter has been the top term on blog search engine Technorati for the past two weeks.Plenty of people would happily have Twitter silenced, rather than tolerate the beeping alert for yet another new text message. But Im betting that Twitter will get a lot noisier before netizens move on to the next new thing. We cyberjunkies need a new thrill, and what is better than a service like Twitter that combines social networking, blogging and texting? And if you dont like it, well, in the words of one Twit from San Francisco, “Im so sick to death of Twitter-haters. If you dont like it, why waste your time writing, reading, or talking about it?”58. This text is intended to _.A. point out the virtues and faults of TwitterB. tell people how to use Twitter to communicateC. give a general outline of TD. introduce a new and easy way of instant communication来源:学科网59. According to the text, Twitter is designed mainly for the purpose of _.A. promoting products and servicesB. talking about small daily thingsC. discussing serious social mattersD. attrac
