18、reen.At 14, he moved to Beijing for his acting career for the first time, with little money in his pocket. He worked at a construction site（建筑工地）for 20 to 25 yuan per day, and spent his free time standing in front of the Beijing Film Studio, eager to be chosen as temporary（临时的）actors.This was the mo
19、st difficult time for the boy. His opportunity finally came one day after he went for a role in the movie “Blind Shaft”. He was chosen to play a young coal miner. The movie won him three prizes in Thailand, France and Taiwan. But his success didnt make any difference to his life.That year, he went h
20、ome for the Spring Festival. He gave his family his earnings from the movie, around US$250 and then returned to Beijing with 500 yuan, the same amount he had when he first set foot in the city. His life was as simple as before.Thanks to his natural performance in “Blind Shaft,” he was invited by the

At one time this was the only way
25、people could find what was happening elsewhere. In Britain during the nineteenth century The Thunder, as The Times is today, was called the only way of discovering the news. There were no telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers or the Internet. In fact in the nineteenth century the career
26、of a journalist was a very important one. That was why the newspaper was called The Thunder because it used to fight for issues that it felt were important. It put pressure on the leaders of the government by “thundering” at them to change laws into ones that were considered to be a benefit to ordin
27、ary people.Since the arrival of electricity all this has changed. There are now telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers and the Internet from which people can get all or any news they are interested in. So it is no wonder that the percentage of people reading newspapers has fallen in Brita
28、in from 59% in 1992 to 45% in 2007. This is very unfortunate because newspapers can fulfill a special role. Readers rely on newspapers to provide detailed background information and analysis, which television and radio newscasts rarely offer. Newspapers not only inform readers that an event happened
29、, but also help 6readers understand what led up to the event and how it will affect the world around them.But is the situation all gloom(忧愁)and despair? What about the Internet? Many newspapers are seeing the Internet as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage. They have published their newspapers
30、 online and sometimes offered their readers the news free. In return they build up reader loyalty(忠诚)and perhaps persuade some to buy the newspaper sometimes. But is this good for printed newspapers? Will they finally be replaced entirely by Internet newspapers? No one can say what will happen in th
31、e future. But certainly the most popular printed newspapers in Britain are also those that are most widely read on the Internet. So perhaps the future for journalists is not as serious as it might appear. Whether in print or on the Internet their words are being read and their opinions appreciated.
32、So whatever the medium it seems the newspaper is here to stay.28. Which of the following can provide readers with details of the events covered?A. Television newscasts.B. Telephones.C. Radio . D. Newspapers.29. Whats the main reason why fewer people read printed newspapers today than before in Brita
33、in?A. People dont enjoy reading newspapers any more.B. Mobile phones and computers can offer more detailed information.C. The arrival of electricity has brought about many new inventions, from which people can get news.D. A printed newspaper is not the best medium for people to get news nowadays.30.
34、 What can be inferred from the last paragraph according to the writer?A. The role of a newspaper is more important than its form.B. An e-newspaper is more important than a printed one.C. A printed newspaper is more important than an e-newspaper.D. The circulation of a newspaper is more important tha
35、n its form.731. What can we know about The Thunder from the passage?A. It was the leading newspaper in Britain in the 19th century.B. It reported everything that happened in the 19th century.C. The Times and The Thunderer were two major newspapers in Britain in the 19th century.D. To the government
36、leaders, it was just like a crash of thunder, urging them to make new laws beneficial to ordinary people.D DThese are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.KristenWe will have established a base on the moon. School kids can take field trips to the
37、 moon weekly. We will have found cures (疗法) for AIDS and cancer. The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land. Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school. Cafeteria (自助餐厅) food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine,

42、vironment, then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.

I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 36 I found that the two paths were different from
46、 each other.9The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers werent beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path.

It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 39 Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now Id like to
48、tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word.
