Throughout the United States there are many towns
and cities that have been named after not only European cities but other
countries as well, such as China, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Just how many New World place names are recycled Old World names has never been
added, but one research found forty-one London, fifty-six Berlins, twenty-four
Dublins, thirty-two Athenses, and twenty-seven Moscows, among others!
Reasons for European place names differ. Some
were named in memory of settlers’ former homes, others in honor of historic
events. Some names were given by mistakes. For instance, the people of Moscow, Kansas, wanted to name their city after the explorer Moscoso. They shortened his
name to Mosco, and an official in Washington, thinking the Kansans couldn’t
spell, added a W.

European cities.

Remember the first time you got online? The
excitement of feeling connected to people around the world?
Well, bad news, the Internet is now rather old and
unexciting. It’s lost a lot of its magic and, worse still, has begun to really
give us trouble with its slow, broken connections and pop-up ads （弹出式广告）. But, not to worry,
there’s that next big thing about to come onto our screens. Something to put
excitement back in the Web.
This year, wireless technology, or Wi-Fi, will be
the hottest thing in the US and UK since the Internet first entered our schools
and homes. That’s because Wi-Fi is cutting those ties and taking the Internet
out of our schools and homes and to everywhere.
A Wi-Fi user can access the Internet without
wires. That means sending e-mail while drinking in the coffee shop, checking
out the latest news while waiting for the plane or train, or even downloading
favourite songs while bathing in the sun on a bench during a lunch-break.
Wi-Fi could in fact change people’s lifestyles,
but there is nothing new about Wi Fi itself. The technology was developing by
the late 1990s and there are wireless networks in rural areas where the cost of
cable （电缆） is too
high. But, it is only now, with the increased use of the laptop and demand for
fast Internet connections, and problems with the third generation of mobile
phones (3G), that Wi-Fi is ready for the mass market.
59. The advantage of Wi-Fi is that _____________.
A. it is easy to operate
B. it will mainly be used at home and in schools
C. you can get online anywhere you like
D. it provides many more services than the
current Internet
60. It is suggested in the passage that ___________.
A. Wi-Fi is a newly developed technology
B. Wi-Fi is costly to build in rural areas
C. Wi-Fi will mainly be used in rural areas
D. Wi-Fi will be widely used in the future
61. The passage mainly tells us ___________.
A. Wi-Fi—a wireless technology will put excitement back in the web
B. problems with the third generation of mobile
phones
C. the increasing demand for last Internet connections
on the move
D. the increasing use of the laptop in the future

When you are really big people listen to you.
Perhaps that is why the US basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal will release
his fourth album（专集）next year.
O’Neal the artist hasn’t piled up the same honors
as O’Neil the athlete, but one of his previous（先前的）musical efforts resulted in 1 million record
sales.
The 2.16-meter giant has also starred in
two movies. But these earned him more criticism （批评）than dollars at the box office.
O’Neal, 32, is not the only one to go from the
sports field to the world of entertainment. Star athletes have for years tried
to match success in sport with success elsewhere. Often it is just about making
more money as companies recognize the ability of sporting heroes to help sell
their products.
An obvious example of this trend is David
Beckham’s presence just about everywhere, selling everything. He is now going
to make his first film. Wimbledon tennis champion Maria Sharapova will become
the advertising face of a new digital camera. And Chinese sports stars are also
making the move. Just look at all Liu Xiang’s ads, which seem to be taking over
TV.
All this marketing of sports stars has made some
people wonder whether it affects sport? Is this trend of mixing sport, fashion
and music taking the players away from their talented field and ruining the
spirit of sport?
62. Judging from the first paragraph, the writer must
believe that it’s natural for us to ________.
A. like O’Neal’s album
B. understand O’Neal’s efforts as a singer
C. have O’Neal take our advice
D. take great people’s advice
63. From the article we can know that _________.
A. there’s an artist who has the same name as the
sports star O’Neal
B. some star athletes have tried to win matches
in different places
C. a new digital camera has Sharapova’s picture
on it
D. Beckham has been busy making advertisements
64. In what way may “all this marketing of sports stars”
affect sports?
A. Sports will become more popular.
B. Sports fans will like the stars better.
C. Sporting efforts will be more commercial.
D. Sports stars will show their talent better.
65. The article mainly tells us that sports stars
_________.
A. show their talent in fields other than sports
B. use their fame to move into other careers
C. are equally successful in other fields
D. have a lot in common

One possible version：
Recently our class had a discussion about whether
the famous athletes should enter the filed of entertainment.
Some students are for the idea. They think many
athletes have a gift for acting or singing, they should have a try. After all,
they have the right to choose what they want to do. What’s more, an athlete’s
prime time is limited, they should think for their future. Taking part in the
Olympic Games isn’t the only way for one person to gain honour for our country.
One can also contribute a lot to the society by doing other jobs.
Some others don’t support the idea. The state has
spent a lot training athletes. So they should do more for our country,
especially when the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is drawing near. As a
distinguished athlete, they should consider more for the society. Any way, the
top athletes should put all their efforts into competing. The whole nation
needs them.
