Why cant there be 25 hours in a day?” plained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.The 18-year-old was Shandong Provinces top scorer in this years college entrance examination. After graduating from Taian No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong(香港中文大学), although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. Im majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons,” Liu said.It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but its convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.“Im happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.Liu has 18 credit hours(学分) of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week.

When Shania was eight years old, her mother took her to many different bars, clubs and concerts to perform. In high school, Shania joined a local band, with which she often performed. After that, Shania moved to Toronto, where she continued singing.When Shania was 21 years old, her parents were killed in a car accident. She had to take over the role of parent to her younger siblings(兄弟姐妹). Taking care of two teenage brothers and a sister was a Gordian knot. Suddenly, she had to pay the bills, keep food on the table, and make a living. Anyway, Shania managed to pay the bills by singing here and there.In 1991, Shania went to Nashville, the home of the country music industry. In 1993, she recorded Shania Twain, her first CD. In 1995, her next CD, The Woman in Me, which had eight hit songs, sold more than ten million copies.

After finishing her 2000 world tour, she decided to take a break from performing. In August 2001, they had a lovely son, whom they named Eja. After September 11th, Shania decided to spend more time on her family and stayed at home until the fall of 2002.

How difficult it is to bee a singer.C. A girls road to success as a singer.D. Shania Twains opinion on music.CWhen temperatures are high, walking on hot roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces can really burn your feet. All of that heat es from the energy of the sun reacting with the pavement. But what if we could turn that energy into electricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that.Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can form a flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a pany called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels. They plan to use their invention to replace the pavement onU.S.roads.According to the Brusaws, if we replaced all of the nations asphalt (沥青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesnt produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment.TheU.S.government sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project. A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (经受) the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year. The lab results show that not only do the panels meet the requirements, but they can actually handle more weight than they need to.Now, money must be raised to start building the panel pavement system. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned abouttheir project. However, some experts predict the Brusaws plan could finally cost more than $1 trillion.Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the worlds ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles (阻碍) stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.28. The glass panel the Brusaws have developed _.A. is too heavy to carryB. has a high temperatureC. is powered by an engineD. is environmentally-friendly29. Whats theU.S.governments attitude towards the Brusaws plan now?A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Interested.D. Supportive.30. What does the underlined part “their project” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Replacing asphalt roads with solar panels.B. Designing more money-saving solar panels.C. Testing the solar panels the Brusaws invented.D. Reducing the ever-growing need for electricity.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Advantages of sunlightB. Better choice for your feetC. Power from the streetsD. Finding more future energyDMost people will recognize Bill Clinton, ex-president of theUnited States. Bill Clinton is a very popular speech giver and regularly gives talks all over the world, to many different audiences. He is so effective at giving talks because he has a special quality which we call “charisma (魅力)”.Nowadays,psychologists (心理学家)are being very interested in charisma and want to describe its meaning in a better way. People often misunderstand what charisma is and think of it as a kind of fame, but it is not the same as fame. Charisma is a kind of magic and is relatively rare. A well-known American psychologist thinks that charismatic people are basically excellent municators. However, they have other qualities such as self-confidence, eloquence (口才) and vision.Charismatic personalities are able to draw people to them, and people feel happy in their pany. There is a sense of “togetherness” when a charismatic person is with other people. A good example of this ability, some say, is the famous American, Oprah Winfrey. She is a highly-successful businesswoman and is probably best known as the presenter of a very popular talk show. Oprah is able to relate to audiences at her shows and they respond well to her. Her charismatic personality has made her one of the richest women in the world. She owns several houses and publishes her own magazines. Presently, she is presenting a new series of theOprah Winfrey Show. She also runs a book club, which influences the nations reading habits and may be one of the reasons why people are reading more these days in theUSA.A woman who had extraordinary charisma was the film star, Marilyn Monroe. A beautiful woman and a talented (有天赋的) actress, she was always the centre of attention wherever she went.Unlike fame, charisma doesnt disappear over time. Even now, more than fifty years after her death, when young people seeMonroein her films, her charisma seems as fresh and powerful as ever.32. Bill Clinton is good at giving talks because _.A. he has a quality called charismaB. he was once president of theUSAC. he has many fans that support himD. he is well-known all over the world33. According to the text, charismatic people _.A. are all effective speech makersB. are all confident and successfulC. can easily attract and interest peopleD. often try to create a calm atmosphere34. What do we know about Oprah Winfrey?A. She is most famous as a magazine publisher.B. She has a happy relationship with her audiences.C. She often gives talks to American young people.D. She writes books to influence Americans reading habits.35. The author mentions the popularity of Marilyn Monroe to show that _.A. fame is as important as charismaB. famous people always have charismaC. charisma doesnt bee weaker over timeD.Monroeis an extraordinarily talented actress第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Isadora DuncanIn the early 1900s the dancer Isadora Duncan created a new form of dance.
