In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice, the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous maneuver. I think that no idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's government - every man of them. That is the will of parliament and the nation. The British empire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.16.

When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the court cannot help but admire it - in the middle of a game.2. "It's hard for me, because I'm a fan of basketball," Houston point guard Rafer Alston told the Houston Chronicle newspaper after McGrady's 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he's shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of a sudden, [the other team's] getting the ball and going on a fast break, and I'm getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting - watching these are like watching an artist at work, blending colours, constructing sentences, or playing music.3. Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he's missed seven games with back spasms. After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five.4. "Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball," forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. "From a player's perspective, his game can affect the entire team. No question. We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."5. But it won't, really. Houston has just begun an important stretch on their schedule. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston - and without Yao. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.23. Paragraph 2 C.24. Paragraph 3 D.25. Paragraph 4 B.26. Paragraph 5 A.A.

The programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.Economists blame young people's family dependence on the precarious(不稳定的) labour market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 per cent a year since 2000.Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists. Family ties in south Europe - Italy, Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Keys for Understanding"."In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized," said Minguez.In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews(外甥/侄子) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.Parents' tolerance(宽容) is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules."A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he'll put up a big fight and call the father a Fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores worsens the problem. Dioni-sio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good."His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end, he lives well," Masso said.31. The "Youth Emancipation" programme aims at helping young peopleA. fight for freedomB. live in an independent wayC. fight against social injusticeD. get rid of family responsibilities32. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that family ties are stronger in Portugal than inA. FinlandB. GreeceC. SpainD. Italy33. Young people's family dependence can be attributed to all the following factors EXCEPTA. parent's toleranceB. housing problemsC. cultural traditionsD. unwillingness to get married34. Which of the following statements is NOT true of Dinoisio Masso?A. She is 60 years old.B. She has a boyfriend.C. She has three children.D. She lives in Madrid.35. The phrase "wary of" in paragraph 8 could be best replaced byA. tired ofB. afraid ofC. cautious aboutD. worried about第二篇Road Trip VacationsIt's summer. In the United States, it's the season of swimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips.Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money."Ever since I went to college, I've been traveling around a lot, exploring the country," said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore."Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don't have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive."Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved, cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities.By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate highwaysystem began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier.Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census.Though many college students don't own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins' trips, they used a borrowed van.Hawkins' most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.Roberts' road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the -25°cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage."I know we should have planned better, but we're young. Now, when I see those guys I always say: 'Remember when we were lost in the snow storm!' I'll never forget that."36. Traveling on wheels is most popular among peoplewho have cars37. What will Hawkins do when he sees something interesting on a road trip?A. He will turn back.B. He will drive around.C. He will stop to explore.D. He will stop exploring.38. When did motels suddenly appear everywhere?A. After the work to build the interstate highway system started.B. When driving trips became popular.C. After many roads were paved.D. After new cars were made.39. Which of the following words can best describe Hawkins' trip to New Orleans?A. Eventful.B. Colourful.C. Delightful.D. Unforgettable.40. The word "blizzard" in paragraph 12 meansA. snow storm.B. hurricane.C. mist.D. fog.第三篇Tightened Visa RegulationsAccording to South Korea's new visa regulations, native speakers of English who intend to teach English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks, medical and drug tests, provide sealed academic transcripts and have their university diplomas inspected, The Korea Times has reported. The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing outside South Korea willhave to have an interview at a South Korean embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada, Australia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile, foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts end and renew their visas at a South Korean embassy in their home country or third country. Before the changes, they could renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation.The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year, 1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged degrees, visa violations and general lawbreaking.But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy, manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea, applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits for documents. "South Korea has put up too many hoops to jump through," he said, adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions. "I don't think (South) Korea has thought this through," said Scott McInnis, a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul. "This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community."As part of efforts to ease the discontent, the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents.41. Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa applicant?A. to pass a Korean language testB. to undergo a medical testC. to provide sealed school reportsD. to undergo a drug test41. A to pass a Korean language test42. C visit a neighboring country if they wanted to renew their visas43. C subversive activities44. What does EFL refer to?D English as a foreign language45. The new visa policy aims atB. improving foreign language teaching in South Korea.第五部分：补全短文My Life at RendaI learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be different from life as a teacher at Renmin University.________________(46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examining my big nose, hands nervous, people whispering while I wrote my name on the blackboard.At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns interrupted my opening remarks.It's not that American students were disrespectful. __________________(47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them fortheir skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities -especially freshmen and sophomores ? often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content. ______________(48) Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-blood professors.Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job. __________________(49)The difference, I think - at least in my experience is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride. __________________(50)I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly-as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.答案：46. Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.47. Most were polite or, at least, indifferent.48. In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.49. I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.50. In my students' minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.第六部分：完形填空Improve Computer-research SkillsLike many college students, Jose Juarez carries around a pocket-sized computer that lets him watch movies, surf the Interact and text-message his friends.He's part of "Generation M" - those born after 1985 who ________ (51) up connected to everything from video game to cellphones."For us, it's everyday life," said Juarez, 18, a freshman ________ (52) California State University at Sacramento (CSUS). ________ (53),educators are now saying that not all Generation M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they're accessing."They're geeky, but they don't know what to ________ (54) with their geekdom," said Barbara O'Connor, a Sacramento State communications studies professor who has been involved in a nationwide ________ (55) to improve students' computer-research skills.In a recent nationwide test to ________ (56) their technological "literacy" their ability to use the Interact to complete class assignments - only 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity, authority and timeliness. Only 35 per cent could correctly narrow an overly ________ (57) Internet search.About 130 Sacramento State students, including Juarez, participated in the experimental test, ________ (58) to 6,300 college students across the country.The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Service. It is a web-based scavenger hunt ________ (59) simulated Interact search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information."They're very good at ________ (60) in and using the Internet, but don't always understand what they get back," said Linda Goff, head of instructional services for the CSUS library. "You see an open search box, you type in a few words and you ________ (61) the button," said Goff, who is involved in the testing."They take at face value ________ (62) shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff."Educators say that these sloppy research skills are troubling."We look at that as a foundational skill, in the same way we ________ (63) math and English as a foundational skill," said Lorie Roth, assistant vice-chancellor for academic programmes in the CSU system.Measuring how well students can "sort the good ________ (64) the bad" on the Internet has become a higher priority for CSU, Roth said.CSU is considering ________ (65) a mandatory assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s. Students in freshman seminars at Sacramento State were asked to take the test early in the semester and were expected to finish another round this week to measure their improvement.答案：51. grew52. at53.

"Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketba ll," forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan's p erspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it' s really fun to watch him do that. "From a player's perspec tive, his game can affect the entire team. No question. We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for e verybody."5. But it won't, really. Houston has just begun an importan t stretch on their schedule. Four of the next seven games w ill be played away from Houston - and without Yao. Six of t he games will be against teams with winning records. Oppone nts will double-team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impa ct of his art.

Th e programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs. Economists blame young people's family dependence on the pr ecarious(不稳定的) labour market and increasing housing pri ces. Housing prices have risen 17 per cent a year since 200 0.Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociol ogists. Family ties in south Europe - Italy, Portugal and G reece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her re port "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Keys for Unde rstanding"."In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the fa mily as the main body around which their private life is or ganized," said Minguez.In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommo n to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces a nd nephews(外甥/侄子) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.Parents' tolerance(宽容) is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules."A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If pare nts complain he'll put up a big fight and call the father a Fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores wors ens the problem. Dioni-sio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girl friend and a job. But life with mum is good."His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end, he li ves well," Masso said.31. The "Youth Emancipation" programme aims at helping young peopleA. fight for freedomB. live in an independent wayC. fight against social injusticeD. get rid of family responsibilities32. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that family ties are stronger in Portugal than inA. FinlandB. GreeceC. SpainD. Italy33. Young people's family dependence can be attributed to a ll the following factors EXCEPTA. parent's toleranceB. housing problemsC. cultural traditionsD. unwillingness to get married34. Which of the following statements is NOT true of Dinois io Masso?A. She is 60 years old.B. She has a boyfriend.C. She has three children.D. She lives in Madrid.35. The phrase "wary of" in paragraph 8 could be best repla ced byA. tired ofB. afraid ofC. cautious aboutD. worried about第二篇Road Trip VacationsIt's summer. In the United States, it's the season of s wimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips.Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like toexplore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money."Ever since I went to college, I've been traveling around alot, exploring the country," said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins a nd his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England. The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested inthings you see along the way you can stop and explore." Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don't have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive." Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a r ound trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars. Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved, cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities.By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier.Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the wor ld. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census.Though many college students don't own a car, most have acc ess to one. On many of Hawkins' trips, they used a borrowed van.Hawkins' most memorable road trip took place over spring br eak. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katr ina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.Roberts' road trip to Canada last winter was even more even tful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizza rd and shivering in the -25°cold. To fi nd their hotel, the y turned on a laptop and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage."I know we should have planned better, but we're young. Now, when I see those guys I always say: 'Remember when we were lost in the snow storm!' I'll never forget that."36. Traveling on wheels is most popular among peoplewho have cars37. What will Hawkins do when he sees something interesting on a road trip?A. He will turn back.B. He will drive around.C. He will stop to explore.D. He will stop exploring.38. When did motels suddenly appear everywhere?A. After the work to build the interstate highway system st arted.B. When driving trips became popular.C. After many roads were paved.D. After new cars were made.39. Which of the following words can best describe Hawkins' trip to New Orleans?A. Eventful.B. Colourful.C. Delightful.D. Unforgettable.40. The word "blizzard" in paragraph 12 meansA. snow storm.B. hurricane.C. mist.D. fog.第三篇Tightened Visa RegulationsAccording to South Korea's new visa regulations, native speakers of English who intend to teach English in South K orea will be required to undergo criminal record checks, me dical and drug tests, provide sealed academic transcripts a nd have their university diplomas inspected, The Korea Time s has reported. The tightened regulations will affect an es timated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing outside South Korea will have to have an intervie w at a South Korean embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada, Au stralia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Mea nwhile, foreign teachers currently living in South Korea mu st leave the country after their one-year contracts end and renew their visas at a South Korean embassy in their home country or third country. Before the changes, they could re new their visas by visiting a neighboring country and retur n without additional documentation.The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the So uth Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Develo pment shows between 2001 and August of this year, 1,481 for eign language teachers have been caught for a range of offe nses including forged degrees, visa violations and generallawbreaking.But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teacher s to South Korea's English language education sector. Accor ding to Michael Duffy, manager of a teacher placement servi ce in South Korea, applicants have to spend a few hundred d ollars and several months on getting affidavits for documen ts. "South Korea has put up too many hoops to jump through, " he said, adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in Sou th Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and inc reasing restrictions. "I don't think (South) Korea has thou ght this through," said Scott McInnis, a Canadian teacher b ased in Incheon near Seoul. "This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the E FL community."As part of efforts to ease the discontent, the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary docu ments.41. Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa a pplicant?A. to pass a Korean language testB. to undergo a medical testC. to provide sealed school reportsD. to undergo a drug test41. A to pass a Korean language test42. C visit a neighboring country if they wanted to renew t heir visas43. C subversive activities44. What does EFL refer to?D English as a foreign language45. The new visa policy aims atB. improving foreign language teaching in South Korea.第五部分：补全短文My Life at RendaI learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be different from lifeas a teacher at Renmin University.________________(46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students ex amining my big nose, hands nervous, people whispering whileI wrote my name on the blackboard.At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringi ng cellphones and loud yawns interrupted my opening remarks. It's not that American students were disrespectful. __________________(47) They were, however, far more skeptical thanthe students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't faultthem for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities -especially freshmen and sophomores ? often have s everal classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, th e TA sets the course content. ______________(48) Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective as flesh-a nd-blood professors.Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no ma tter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, s tudents who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job. __________________(49)The difference, I think - at least in my experience is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride. _____________ _____(50)I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly-as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.第六部分：完形填空Improve Computer-research SkillsLike many college students, Jose Juarez carries around a pocket-sized computer that lets him watch movies, surf th e Interact and text-message his friends.He's part of "Generation M" - those born after 1985 who ___ _____ (51) up connected to everything from video game to cellphones."For us, it's everyday life," said Juarez, 18, a freshman _ _______ (52) California State University at Sacramento (CSU S). ________ (53),educators are now saying that not all Gen eration M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they' re accessing."They're geeky, but they don't know what to ________ (54) w ith their geekdom," said Barbara O'Connor, a Sacramento Sta te communications studies professor who has been involved i n a nationwide ________ (55) to improve students' computer-research skills.In a recent nationwide test to ________ (56) their technolo gical "literacy" their ability to use the Interact to compl ete class assignments - only 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity, authority and timelin ess.

"You see an open search box, you type in a few words a nd you ________ (61) the button," said Goff, who is involve d in the testing."They take at face value ________ (62) shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff."Educators say that these sloppy research skills are troubli ng."We look at that as a foundational skill, in the same way w e ________ (63) math and English as a foundational skill," said Lorie Roth, assistant vice-chancellor for academic pro grammes in the CSU system.Measuring how well students can "sort the good ________ (64) the bad" on the Internet has become a higher priority for CSU, Roth said.CSU is considering ________ (65) a mandatory assessment tes t on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it ha s required English and math placement tests since the 1980 s.Students in freshman seminars at Sacramento State were asked to take the test early in the semester and were expected to finish another round this week to measure their improvement.参考答案。

In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice, the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous manoeuvre. I think that no idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's government - every man of them. That is the will of parliament and the nation. The British empire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth tothe rescue and the liberation of the old.16.

When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the courtcannot help but admire it - in the middle of a game.2. "It's hard for me, because I'm a fan of basketball," Houston point guard Rafer Alston told the Houston Chronicle newspaper after McGrady's 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he's shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of a sudden, [the other team's] getting the ball and going on a fast break, and I'm getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting - watching these are like watching an artist at work, blending colours, constructing sentences, or playingmusic.3. Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he's missed seven games with back spasms. After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured,the Rockets won two and lost five.4. "Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball," forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. "From a player's perspective, his game can affect the entire team. No question. We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems tobecome easier for everybody."5. But it won't, really. Houston has just begun an important stretch on their schedule. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston - and without Yao. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.23. Paragraph 2 C.24. Paragraph 3 D.25. Paragraph 4 B.26. Paragraph 5 A.A.

The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada, Australia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile, foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts end and renew their visas at a South Korean embassy in their home country or third country. Before the changes, they could renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation.The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year, 1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged degrees, visaviolations and general lawbreaking.But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy, manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea, applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits for documents. "South Korea has put up too many hoops to jump through," he said, adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions."I don't think (South) Korea has thought this through," said Scott McInnis, a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul. "This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFLcommunity."As part of efforts to ease the discontent, the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month graceperiod for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents.41. Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa applicant?A. to pass a Korean language testB. to undergo a medical testC. to provide sealed school reportsD. to undergo a drug test41. A to pass a Korean language test42. C visit a neighboring country if they wanted to renew their visas43. C subversive activities44. What does EFL refer to?D English as a foreign language45. The new visa policy aims atB. improving foreign language teaching in South Korea.第五部分：补全短文My Life at RendaI learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa wouldbe different from life as a teacher at Renmin University.________________(46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examining my big nose, hands nervous,people whispering while I wrote my name on the blackboard.At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns interrupted my opening remarks. It's not that American students were disrespectful. __________________(47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities -especially freshmen and sophomores ? often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content. ______________(48) Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-bloodprofessors.Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paperor project - dealing with these is all part of the job. __________________(49)The difference, I think - at least in my experience is that in the US I had to swallow moreof my pride. __________________(50)I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly-as a guidewho himself had a few things to learn from the students.答案：46. Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.47. Most were polite or, at least, indifferent.48. In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.49. I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.50. In my students' minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questionsfor the mid-term exam.卖炭翁白居易(唐) 字乐天号香山居士卖炭翁，伐薪烧炭南山中。
