First, some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media. Television, radio, and magazines invade(侵扰) the lives of audience with a variety of shows, information, and publications about stars and their lives. For instance, Britney Spears has bee the target of paparazzi(狗仔队). In May, Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas, Nevada. Media also invade stars lives because reporters know they can get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists news.Second, some mad audiences imitate their celebrities for their lack of confidence. Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression. For example, my cousin Jenny, who lacks a social life because of her introverted(内向的) personality, believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school.Finally, several fans of stars imitate them because of peer pressure. Since my nieces girl friends formed an Antonio Banderas fan club, she had also joined the group. Although she wasnt a huge fan of his, now she collects most of Banderas possessions. In fact, when I asked Arianna, my niece, why she was part of Banderas fan club, she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens.In conclusion, it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their performances in Hollywood, which entertains many people all over the world; however, modern celebrities influence the audience to the point where their fans admire and try to imitate their lives.56. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Why people are influenced by celebrities. B. The harmful influence of celebrities. C. What kind of people are influenced by celebrities D. How to avoid the influence of celebrities.57 We can infer from Paragraph 2 that _. A. media are on the side of stars B. stars know how to take advantage of media. C. media can give wrong information about stars D. media invade stars lives for their own good58. Arianna joined the Antonio Banderas fan club to _. A. seek encouragement from the star B. be accepted by other teens C. bee a real fan of the star D. learn more about the star59. The author of the passage probably believes that _. A. its easy for people to resist the influence of celebrities B. all young people are easily influenced by celebrities C. its no good for people to imitate celebrities blindly D. people can improve their personality by imitating their favorite starsBImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens every day to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like “shoplifters”. Even though Id never steal, store employees looked at me like Im some kind of hardened criminal mastermind. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Grab “n” Go on Tuesday. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story:“ NO MORE THAN TWO STUDENTS AT A TIME.” After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are lifting too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? Not only were we considered to be shoplifters, but brilliant, greedy shoplifters.The Grab “n” Go isnt an isolated case. Earlier this year, a department store worker told me to leave my backpack at the front of the store. When I asked who was going to keep an eye on my stuff, she said, “Dont worry. It isnt going anywhere.” In other words, I had to risk losing my stuff so that the store wouldnt have to risk losing theirs. “Dont worry,” I replied, “I dont need to shop here.” The most annoying thing, though, is the way employees watch my friends and me. Its almost strange and frightening. Once, at a drug store, I went down an aisle and found a guy standing on a box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, which were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that? You know, this kind of prejudice can go both ways. I work at the CD Crib, and every day I see adults mit a terrible crime. They put on a set of headphones and sort of dance to the music. Talk about bad! Tomorrow, Im going to put a sign in the window: “ NO MORE THAN TWO ADULTS LISTNENING TO MUSIC AT A TIME.” 60. “ Shoplifters” ( Paragraph 1) refers to _. A. the neighbor B. thieves C. employees D. store owners61. The manager of the Grab “n” Go thought that _. A. people might be angry about the lining up B. the shop might be over-crowded C. students might steal things D. kids should be acpanied by their parents62. What is the tone of the writer? A. Angry B. Sad C. Pleased D. Excited63. By saying “this kind of prejudice can go both ways”, the writer intends to _. A. put up a notice to prevent adults from mitting a crime. B. encourage adults to listen to CDs before they buy them. C. stop adults from talking bad things when in CD stores. D. accuse adults in the same way as they did towards the boys64. How does the writer develop his argument? A. By example B. By classification C. By parison and contrast D. By cause and effectCAlmost everyone accepts the fact that crime can never be wiped out entirely. Thus control of crime bees the focus of police and government around the world. The question lawmakers must answer is, “Which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” Each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions then determine how criminals are punished under different systems. However, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. There are many ideas about punishment of criminals. Some systems look only to get retribution（严惩）against criminals. These systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future. These systems also try to deter（威慑）others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught mitting crimes. Rehabilitation（改造）is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate. The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. The idea is to help change the persons behavior so that he or she bees a law-abiding citizen.Capital punishment is another form of punishment which systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. In these cases, the person is put to death. Today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. Many countries have done away with it. In other words, capital punishment remains only in officially law books but is rarely used. However, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States. When looking at the number of crimes mitted, the effectiveness of any of these forms of punishment es into question. In the United States, for example, 80 percent of the people arrested each year are male, and the majority of these are young men or boys. One-third of all auto thefts, robberies, and burglaries are mitted by young men under the age of 18. Generally, young people have less responsibility in society, so they risk losing little if they are caught in a criminal activity. However, it can also be argued that todays youthful criminals do not fear the punishment they receive if caught by police. Current methods of criminal punishment do not serve the purpose of deterring young criminals in the United States.A major problem with the current system of rehabilitation in the United Stated is that most criminals return to crime after they have supposedly been rehabilitated. Two-thirds of those caught by police each year are repeat criminals. As a result of this fact, many people feel that rehabilitation of criminals is a lost cause. Since the late 1970s, many see retribution as a preferred punishment in criminal cases in the United States.65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Capital punishment B. Prison system C.

He is my oldest uncle, a tall, thin, grey-haired man whose thoughts are always on learning and nothing else. He is quiet, gentle and absent-minded and with about as much sense as a child where money is concerned. Well, he applied a post in Camford University. It was a very good post and there were hundreds of candidates（候选人）who applied for it, and about fifteen, including Theo, were asked to be interviewed. Camford is a very small town; there is only one hotel in it, and it was so full that they had to put many of the candidates two in a room. Theo was one of these, and the man who shared the room with him was a self-confident fellow called Adams, about twenty years younger than Theo, with a loud voice, and a laugh that you could hear all over the hotel. But he was a clever fellow all the same and had a good post in Iscaiot College, Narkover. Well, the Dean, who was the head of the department of the University, and the mittee interviewed all the candidates; and as a result of this interview, the number of the candidates was reduced to two, Uncle Theo and Adams. The mittee couldnt decide which of the two to take, so they decided to make their final choice after each of the candidates had given a public lecture in the college lecture-hall. The subject they had to speak on was “The Civilization of the Ancient Summerians”; and the lecture had to be given in three days time. Well, for these three days Uncle Theo never left his room. He worked day and night at that lecture, writing it out and memorizing it, almost without eating or sleeping. Adams didnt seem to do any preparation at all. You could hear his voice and his laughter where he had a crowd of people around him. He came to his room late at night, asked Uncle Theo how he was getting on with his lecture, and then told him how he had
