Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist (新闻记者). Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me. Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalists speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事). Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good scores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.21. After class, the author _.A. seldom sees Ms. RunkleB. talks with Ms. Runkle quite a lotC. enjoys introducing Ms. Runkle to her friendsD. often invites Ms. Runkle to different activities22. We can infer from the text that Ms. Runkle is _.A. friendly and helpful B. kind and humorousC. clever and active D. strict and boring23. The authors favorite part of Ms. Runkles class is when Ms. Runkle _.A. tells them how to get good scores B. asks them questions about the worldC. asks them to describe current eventsD. tells them about events that are happening24. What is the authors purpose of writing the text?A. To express how much she misses Ms. Runkle.B. To look back on her special high school life.C. To describe an unforgettable teacher. D. To show what makes a good teacher.BThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Lets get to the heart of the matter a matter of principle (原则).If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you dont, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. Its not that much money. Then you wont have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. Its a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “Whats the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “Whats the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “Whats the matter with you?”, you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid. Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesnt matter” shows you are easy-going (随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And its only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter. 25. We can infer from the text that the word matter _.A. has a wide use B. can mean money C. is the most used English word D. has the most different expressions26. What is the authors suggestion in Paragraph 4?A. Every penny counts.B. Stick to what is right.C. Follow your friends advice.D. Be careful when making friends.27. The underlined word “context” in the text probably means _.A. choice B. person C. situation D. answer28. The author develops the text mainly by _.A. using examples B. giving instructionsC. describing his experiencesD. discussing research findingsCYears ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: “Cinderella” (灰姑娘).“Cinderella” made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie got a mixed reaction. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.” Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning re-do.” Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finally got Cinderella right.” Other people were not as happy with the movie. Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, “This Cinderella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movies business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for “Cinderella” products.There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo worked with Disney to create “Cinderellas shoes.” You can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the party, even if that is the way you get your prince (王子). The makeup (化妆品) company MAC quickly sold all its products connected to “Cinderella.” HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling “Cinderella” products.So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience (观众) for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other childrens products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.29. What is the best title for the text?A. Sellers of “Cinderella” products B. “Cinderella” is more than a movieC. What makes “Cinderella” so popularD. Unknown stories behind “Cinderella”30. The underlined part “a mixed reaction” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. many changes B. different stories C. advantages and disadvantages D. agreements and disagreements31. Products connected to “Cinderella” _.A. do not sell very well B. are not yet on the marketC. are mainly targeted at little girlsD. are designed for a wide group of buyers32. Where can children buy toys connected to “Cinderella”?A. At MAC. B. At MAC and HSN. C. At JCPenney. D. At HSN and a Disney store.D My name is Joe! I come from Southend-on-Sea.
