Though she did her best to 37 as if nothing had happened and made her public appearance as usual , people could not fail to notice that she was no longer the old self-assured prime minister who always had everything under 38 . Instead she had become a very sad mother who was unable to 39 from her shock.One day when she was to 40 at a lunch party, a reporter caught her off her guard by bringing up the 41 of her missing son again.

Gradually she 47 down and started to speak as planned.

And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this. When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on the context to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.56. According to the author, “read for pleasure ” means _.A. taking pleasure in readingB. being satisfied in reading bookC. reading such books as novels, plays, travel books, etcD. going on with reading pleasantly57. The phrase “to get on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as _.A. to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the bookB. to try to catch the meaning of every word in the bookC. to try to understand all the writer is going to tell youD. to try to understand the main idea of the book58. When you meet new words in reading such kinds of books, youd better _.A. stop and look them up in a dictionary B. stop and think them overC. try to guess their meanings from the context D. all the above59. According to the passage, the best way to read novels, plays and travel books is _. A. to read very slowly B. to read quickly and not too carefullyC. to read very carefully D. to read very seriously60. The best title for this passage is _. A. Read for Pleasure B. The Context of BooksC. Reading Skills D. The Importance of ReadingBAmerican magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19, 2003. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of Londons main tourist attractions.Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar (柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that theyre able to do what they can do,” he said. “They dont realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.61. It is _ _ for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.A. pleasant B. delicious C. dangerous D. important62.

Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others dont.Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk，gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself?Your abilities?Your interest in the job? Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak， look at the interviewer. In addition, dont say negative things about yourself, or former employer. Listen to questions carefully. If you dont understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain：“Im sorry, but I didnt catch that.”“Im not sure exactly what you mean.”Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They dont expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time. Its a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand.Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job. Good luck！65. It can be inferred from the passage that_ _. A. you should always put on a smile when meeting the employer B. you should stand still with respect before the employer C. the first impression is very important in an interview D. employers understand and like employees nervousness66.

A. Because it can help us win the employers positive impression. B. Because it can help us feel about the employer. C. Because it is needed by our employer. D. Because we need it to improve our feelings.67. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A Friendly Smile B. Making a Good Expression C. Dont Be Nervous D. Sending a Thank-You LetterDIn Googles vision of the future, people will be able to translate documents instantly into the worlds main languages, with machine logic (逻辑), not expert linguists（语言学家），leading the way.Googles approach, called statistical (统计的) machine translation, differs from past efforts in which it does without language experts who program grammatical rules and dictionaries into computers. Instead, they feed documents humans have already translated into two languages and then rely on computers to decide patterns for future translations.While the quality is not perfect, it is an improvement on previous efforts at machine translation, said Franz Och, 35, a German who heads Googles translation effort at its Mountain View headquarters （总部），south of San Francisco. “Some people who have been in machine translations for a long time see our Arabic-English output, and then they say, thats amazing, thats a breakthrough.” Said Och. “And then other people who have never seen what machine translation was read through the sentence and they say, the first mistake here in Line Fiveit doesnt seem to work because there is a mistake there.”But for some tasks, a mostly correct translation may be good enough. Speaking over lunch this week in a Google cafeteria famed for offering free, healthy food, Och showed a translation of an Arabic Web news site into easily digestible English.Google 搜索窗体底端Two Google workers speaking Russian at a nearby table said, however, that a translation of a news site from English into their native tongue was understandable but a bit awkward. Och, who speaks German, English and some Italian, feeds hundreds of millions of words from parallel texts such as Arabic and English into the computer, using United Nations and European Union documents as key sources.Languages without considerable translated texts, such as some African languages, face greater obstacles. “The more data we feed into the system, the better it gets.” said Och, who moved to the United States from Germany in 2002.The program applies statistical analysis, an approach he hopes will avoid diplomatic embarrassing mistakes in diplomatic situations, such as when Russian leader Putins translator annoyed then German Chancellor (总理) Gerhard Schroeder by calling him the German “Fuhrer (“leader” in English),” which is forbidden in that context because of its association with Adolf Hitler.“I would hope that the language model would say, well, Schroeder is very rare but Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schroeder is probably 100 times more frequent than Fuhrer and then it would make the right decision.” Och said.68. What is the best title of this passage?A. Google Seeks World of Instant Translations.B. Google Starts a Revolution of Machine Translations.C. A Breakthrough Makes Google World Brighter.D. Surf Google and Try the New Computer System.69. In what way is “Googles machine translation” different from previous ones?A. Linguists guide the computer translation on Google.B. Int
