To start making western films, Zhang Ziyi has been working hard to perfect her English for several years and now speaks the language with little difficulty. The movie version（版本） of Memoirs of a Geisha is headed into production. The book became a sensation（轰动） around the world when it was first published in 1997. The story is about a young girls rise from poverty in a Japanese fishing village to life in high society. The lead role of Sayuri will go to Zhang Ziyi, with the producer Steven Spielberg. For those unfamiliar with the story, a Geisha is a Japanese woman schooled in the art of dance, singing, and conversation to be a companion for wealthy men.It may be difficult to say what lies ahead for Ziyi, but it is quite feasible （可行的）for Ziyi to put her feet on the ground and strive（奋斗） to make sure she is at her best in every movie she is in.41.According to the passage, Zhang Ziyi succeeded _A. easily B. with effort C. for someones help D. for ever42.Which one is not Ziyis major works ?A.

The book version of Memoirs of a Geisha was first published when Ziyi was_A. about 18 B. over 18 c. less than 18 D. 19 years oldBMinh Pham was born in Vietnam. He left there when he was 21 years old. Minh has been in America for almost two years. There is still much he does not understand about America.Once, Minh was in a supermarket. He saw an old man and an old woman. They wanted a box of cereal（麦片）.The box was on a high shelf. The man and the woman couldnt reach it. Minh saw a stepladder. He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him.“Where are your children?” asked Minh. “Why dont they help you buy food?” “Our children have their own lives,” said the man and the woman. “We like to be independent.” Minh doesnt think this is right. In his country, children help their parents. Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number. He told them to call him if they needed help. One night they asked Minh to dinner, but they never asked him for help.One day, Minh was walking with a Vietnamese friend. The two men were going to a movie. Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first. Minh took his friends hand. He pulled him towards the restaurant. People on the street stared at Minh. In Vietnam, friends often hold hands. Minh found that the people in America are not used to men holding hands.Minh Pham is going through a process（过程） known as resocialization. Socialization（社会化） is the process in which a person learns to live in a society. Everyone goes through this process. Minh went through it when he lived in Vietnam. But the Vietnamese way of life is rather different from the American way of life. When Minh came to America, he had to learn a new way of life. He had to learn how to live in a new society.

The young man said, “How strict should parents be with their children？” The old man pointed to a string（绳子）between a big strong tree and a thin young one. “Please untie（解开）that string,” he said. The young man untied it, and the young tree bent （弯）over to one side. “Now tie it again, please,” said the old man, “but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again.” The young man did so. Then the old man said, “There, it is the same with children. You must be strict with them, but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on.

D. On a TV programmeEHow can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, youve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says youre a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, youll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.58.In the writers opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _.A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling itB. to forget your own native languageC. to translate everything into his own languageD. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules59. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can _.A. help you to study English well B. stop you mastering EnglishC. make English easy to learn D. help you notice mistakes60.Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means_. A. to get a knowledge of English by touchingB. to be able to read and write EnglishC. to translate English into your own by imaginingD. to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language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出的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
