They hate her for some 33 . However, you can see her 34 on every magazine or newspaper you can find in the store, and TV talk shows love to invite her as well. No 35 shes become famous these few years and not only Americans know her, 36 people around the world.I always wonder how Paris Hilton manages to 37 those negatives about her. Perhaps she has ever felt sad or 38 what others said about her. Perhaps she can try to keep off those bad times and stay so 39 .That is 40 I used to question myself in the past. But now, I think I have a 41 understanding about the life of a star. Stars arent 42 to be blind but they have to be in order to go on with their lives. It is never 43 to be a star. 44 you become a star, you must stay 10 times tougher than 45 you used to be.Paris Hilton is no doubt a tough star. Meanwhile, she isnt 46 , but in order to 47 her journey as a star and go further, I suppose she has 48 to be “blind” toward all the negatives. 49 , she manages to release the hurt, the fear and her old 50 .So, keep in mind, “Tough time doesnt last. . . tough people do”. If she manages to move on and ignores the past, why cant you?31. A. always B. never C. hardlyD. ready32. A. enjoy B. likeC. know D. comment33. A. reasonsB. excuses C. ideas D. shows34.

Office buildings, residences, temples, and palaces all follow the principle that the main structure is the central line. The secondary structures are positioned as two wings on either side to form the main room and the yard. The use of inner space shows Chinese social and ethnical values. For example, a traditional residential building assigns（分配）family members based on the members family status.Roofs are an important part of Chinese architecture. They did not only protect residences, but they also had a deeper meaning. For example, temple roofs were curved because the Buddhist believed that they helped keep evil spirits away, which were believed to be straight lines. Perfect examples of these roofs can be found in the Forbidden City. The Ming Tombs all have roof tiles which are brilliant yellow, green, and red. The ridges（屋脊）on each roof have mythical creatures carved on them.Excellent examples of Chinese architecture are Buddhist temples, which can be found scattered around China. Unfortunately, there are not many of these temples left. The reason that most of them were torn down is that the space was either needed for urban development, or that they fell apart from many years of neglect. One tower which still remains is nearly 400 feet tall（unless it floats）.51. In the first paragraph the author mainly tells us about _.A. the history of Chinese architecture B. the basic idea of Chinese architectureC. the structure of Chinese architecture D. the materials used in Chinese architecture52. Temple roofs were curved in order to _.A. keep evil spirits awayB. show the owners social positionC. prevent the temple from falling downD. keep the balance of the house53. Why were some beautiful temples destroyed?A. Because they were not valuable. B. Because they were too old and useless.C. Because people didnt like them. D. Because people wanted to build the cities.54. The best title for this passage might be _.A. Chinese ArchitectureB. Roofs of Chinese ArchitectureC. Damage to Chinese ArchitectureD. Designs of Temples and HousesBOf the more than 1,500 potentially active volcanoes in the world, eight to ten are erupting at any moment. On the bottom of the Pacific basin lies a series of volcanic arcs（弧形）. This zone is called the Ring of Fire, because of its frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. About 80 percent of these volcanoes are located in countries in Pacific Asia. The most volcanically active country in Asia is Indonesia, which has seventy-six historically active volcanoes, four-fifths of which erupted in the last century.Volcanoes form when a break in Earths hot gas reaches the surface under pressure, resulting in dangerous eruptions. Volcanoes can cause immense destruction to crops, forests, roads, and entire towns, resulting in the emergence of many poor people who must be sheltered, fed, and resettled. While Japans cone-shaped Mount Fuji presents an image of a volcanos majestic beauty, the volcanoes of the Philippines have earned the reputation of being the most deadly and costly in the world. On average over 13 percent of volcanic eruptions cause fatalities（灾祸）and 22 percent cause damage. The 1991 eruptions of Mount Pinatubo, for example, caused an estimated US $260 million in damage. The series of eruptions lasted for months, producing the largest cloud of climate-modifying gases since mighty Krakatau erupted in Indonesia in 1883. Scientists estimated that Pinatubos eruption added more aerosols（light gases and particles）than all human activities since the industrial revolution.Many Asian countries have increased their volcano research to provide greater warning time of likely eruptions and to broaden natural-hazard management programs. Although these efforts help to reduce the impacts of volcanic eruptions on humans and property, volcanic eruptions will persist as a significant natural hazard throughout countries located in Asias Ring of Fire.55. The passage mainly talks about _.A. the volcanoes in Asia and their impactsB. serious damage caused by several volcanic eruptionsC. how to reduce the damage of volcanic eruptionsD. the formation of volcanoes around the world56. The zone on the bottom of the Pacific basin is called the Ring of Fire because _.A. there are many volcanoes whether they erupt or notB. the area has caught fire a few timesC. the shape of this area is like burning fireD. earthquakes and volcanic eruptions often happen there57. From the passage, we can learn that _.A. there are six to seven historically active volcanoes in IndonesiaB. half of the volcanoes erupted in the 20th century in IndonesiaC. most of the volcanoes in Asian countries are activeD. Krakataus eruption produced the largest cloud of gases in history in 188358. The eruptions of Mount Pinatubo mentioned in the passage _.A. lasted a few weeksB. took place one hundred and twenty-four years agoC. caused an estimated US$260 billion in damageD. released many aerosols into the airCOne of the most wonderful attributes（特征）of England is its broad appeal to all types of people. If the rush of London is not appealing, then perhaps the countryside with its national and country parks and 600 miles of coastline will be more to your liking. The country has always attracted students who are drawn by its varied landscapes, rich history, curious customs and world-recognized education system.Perhaps Englands greatest cultural export has been the English language, the current language of the international community. There are astonishing regional variations in accents. It is not unusual to find those in southern England claiming to need an interpreter（翻译）to speak to anyone living north of Oxford. Of course, one cannot overlook Englands contributions to the fields of theatre, literature and architecture. You have no doubt seen Shakespeare, read about Chaucer and Dickens and seen castles and cathedrals built by this great nation.People are routinely confused by Englands relationship to Great Britain. It is important to note that England, Scotland and Wales are all countries in their own right. Together they constitute the island nation of Great Britain. Northern Ireland and Great Britain combined are known as the United Kingdom（UK）and if you combine the Republic of Ireland with the UK you have the British Isles. The modern history of Britain is considered to have started around the mid-15th century. By that time Wales had been conquered by England, and Scotland had become part of Great Britain when the King of Scots took the English throne.59. The first paragraph mainly talks about _.A. the wonderful attributes of England B. the countryside of EnglandC. Englands education systemD. Englands broad appeal to people60. From the underlined sentence in the second paragraph we can infer that _.A. those in southern England are bad at EnglishB. there are many different accents in EnglandC. people in the north of Oxford dont speak EnglishD. southern English dont like speaking to northern English61. We may infer from the passage that _.A. Britain has a long history of about 1,000 yearsB. Wales once belonged to EnglandC. many people cant tell the difference between England and BritainD. England had ever been ruled by Wales62. The best title of the passage might be _.A. An Introduction to England B. The Wonderful Attributes of EnglandC. Englands Great CultureD. England and the UKDAn important scientific expedition in 1958 took hundreds of scientists to Antarctica, which is a large continent at the southern tip of the earth, and surrounds the South Pole, and most of it is covered by snow and ice. The great ice sheet goes on and on. At some place in Antarctica the ice is more than three miles thick. The Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans ring the continent.The expedition in 1958 was part of the International Geophysical Year（IGY: 地球物理年）, which is the name given to a world-wide scientific research program that more than 5,000 scientists took part in. Actually, the IGY lasted 18 months not for just a year. A part of its research is still going on.Geophysics is the science of the earth and atmosphere. “Geo” is earth and “physics” is the part of science that deals with matter and motion（运动） not with plants and animals.63. Guess which of the following is not so different in meaning from the word “exploring”.A. continentB. researchC. expeditionD. atmosphere64. Which of the following in this passage is possible to have the same meaning as the word “surround”?A. ring B. take C. cover D. last65. When was the passage written?A. in 1958 B. by the end of 1958C. before the end of June, 1960 D. between 1958 and 195966. Antarctica is surrounded by three _ .A. scientists B. oceans C. miles D. hundredsEHKs Family AffairThe 32nd Hong Kong Art Festival, to be held early next year, will be based on the theme of “family”The art festival, considered to be Asias best, began in 1973.“We hope that people from Beijing and from all over the world will go to Hong Kong to enjoy the multiple performances in our art festival,” Douglas Gautier, the festivals management director, said in a press conference in the capital.In the 29 days of the festival, which runs from February 8 to March 7,2020, the audience can choose from 111 performances of 51 programmes staged by 700 foreign performers, 450 local artists and 160 actors from the mainland.Programmes vary from classical music, jazz, world music, Western and Peking opera, drama and dance to outdoor spectaculars.The programmes include Beethovens only opera Fidelio, Shakespeares drama Rromeo and Juliet, the ballet Mozartina and African dances, to name just a few.The lineup（阵容）includes the English Touring Theatre, Prague Chamber Orchestra, Zurich Ballet, The Spanish National Dance Troupe, as well as Europe Galante the Petersen Quartet, pianists Angela Hewitt and Marc-Andre H
