材料:

窗外露台上正摊开一片阳光,我抬起头还可以看见屋瓦上的一片蔚蓝天。好些日子没有见到这样晴朗的天气了。早晨我站在露台上昂头接受最初的阳光,我觉得我的身子一下子就变得十分轻快似的。我想起了那个意大利朋友的故事。

路易居·发布里在几年前病逝的时候,不过四十几岁。他是意大利的亡命者,也是独裁者墨索里尼的不能和解的敌人。他没有看见自由的意大利,在那样轻的年纪,就永闭了眼睛。1927年春天在那个多雨的巴黎城里,某一个早上阳光照进了他的房间,他特别高兴地指着阳光说,这是一件了不起的可喜的事。我了解他的心情,他是南欧的人,是从阳光常照的意大利来的。见到在巴黎的春天里少见的日光,他又想起故乡的蓝天了。他为着自由舍弃了蓝天;他为着自由贡献了一生的精力。可是自由和蓝天两样,他都没有能够再见。

我也像发布里那样的热爱阳光。但有时我也酷爱阴雨。

十几年来,不打伞在雨下走路,这样的事在我不知有过多少次。就是在1927年,当发布里抱怨巴黎缺少阳光的时候,我还时常冒着微雨,在黄昏、在夜晚走到国葬院前面卢梭的像脚下,向那个被称为“18世纪世界的良心”的巨人吐露一个年轻异邦人的痛苦的胸怀。

我有一个应当说是不健全的性格。我常常吞下许多火种在肚里,我却还想保持心境的和平。有时火种在我的腹内燃烧起来。我受不了熬煎。我预感到一个可怕的爆发。为了浇熄这心火,我常常光着头走入雨湿的街道,让冰凉的雨洗我的烧脸。

水滴从头发间沿着我的脸颊流下来,雨点弄污了我的眼镜片。我的衣服渐渐地湿了。

出现在我眼前的只是一片模糊的雨景,模糊……白茫茫的一片……我无目的地在街上走来走去。转弯时我也不注意我走进了什么街。我的脑子在想别的事情。我的脚认识路。走过一条街,又走过一条马路,我不留心街上的人和物,但是我没有被车撞伤,也不曾跌倒在地上。我脸上眼睛看不见现实世界的时候,我的脚上却睁开了一双更亮的眼睛。我常常走了一个钟点,又走回到自己住的地方。

我回到家里,样子很狼狈。可是心里却爽快多了。仿佛心上积满的尘垢都给一阵大雨洗干净了似的。

我知道俄国人有过“借酒淹愁”的习惯。我们的前辈也常说“借酒浇愁”。如今我却在“借雨洗愁”了。

我爱雨不是没有原因的。

A Master of Nonverbal Humour

As Victor Hugo once said,"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face",and up to?now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.He brightened the lives of Americans?and British through two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when?they felt depressed,so they could feel more content with their lives.

Not that Charlie′s own life was easy!He was born in a poor family in 1889.His parents were both?poor music hall performers.You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he?could speak and dance as soon as he could walk.Such training was common in acting families at this?time,especially when the family income was often uncertain.Unfortunately his father died,leaving the?family even worse off,so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother.By his?teens,Charlie had,through his humour,become one of the most popular child actors in England.He could?mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks.No one was ever bored watching him--his subtle?acting made everything entertaining.

As time went by,he began making films.He grew more and more popular as his charming character,the little tramp,became known throughout the world.The tramp,a poor,homeless man with a moustache,wore large trousers,worn-out shoes and a small round black hat.He walked around stiffly carrying a walk-ing stick.This character was a social failure but was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome?all difficulties.He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.

How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining?Here is an example from one of his most?famous films,The Gold Rush.It is the end of the nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in?Alaska.Like so many others,the little tramp has rushed there in search of gold,but without success.

Instead he and another man are hiding in a small hut during a snowstorm with nothing to eat.They are so?hungry that the little tramp tries boiling one of his leather shoes for dinner.

Charlie cuts off the leather top of the shoe and shares the shoe with the other fellow.He tries cutting?and chewing the bottom of the shoe as if it were the finest steak.Then he picks out the lace of the shoe?and eats it as if it were spaghetti.He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment.The acting is so convincing?that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted.

Charlie Chaplin wrote,directed and produced the films he starred in.In 1972 he was given a special?Oscar for his outstanding work in films.He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in?Switzerland,where he was buried in 1977.He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire?people with great confidence.

Passage 2

Environmental activists in South Korea are condemning a government plan to hunt endangered whales for scientific research. They believe the plan is part of an effort to re-start commercial whaling activities. Such ac-tivities are banned in many countries. South Korea announced the proposal in July at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Panama. The head of the South Korean delegation said the plan was needed to answer questions about minke whale populations. He said the hunt would take place near the South Korean coast. But he did not say how many of the animals would be caught.

The International Whaling Commission has yet to malre a decision on the South Korean plan. The organi-zation banned commercial whaling in 1986 because of concerns about the survival of whale species. But now, some South Korean fishermen say they are facing a threat from minke whales. They say these animals are eat-ing what would have been their catch.

The plan was immediately condemned by anti-whaling nations. Wildlife activists also criticized the pro-posal. Han Jeong-hee works in Seoul for the environmental group Greenpeace. "It′s really regretful to hear that Korean government is, like, considering conducting scientific whaling. Scientific whaling is just, like,thinly-disguised commercial whaling. And, you know, we are of course against all commercial whaling. Japan′s the only country which is doing scientific whaling at the moment and Korea is just trying to follow that. "

Apart from the plan in South Korea, an aquarium (水族馆) in the American state of Georgia also wants to import eighteen beluga whales from Russia. The United States currently has 31 beluga whales. They are liv-ing in six aquariums and marine parks. Four of them are at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

The Georgia Aquarium has asked the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for permission to import the beluga whales. If it was approved, aquarium officials would send some of the animals to the other facilities.

The Georgia Aquarium says it hopes to use the beluga whales in research, education and breeding pro-grams. They currently are being held at a Russian research center. Yet many people oppose the plan. They say it is wrong to catch any wild animal.

NOAA officials are studying how the beluga whales might be affected by being brought to the United States. They also want to know whether the Georgia Aquarium and its partners can properly care for the whales and how they might be used in educational activities. The federal Marine Mammal Protection Act sets rules which NOAA must consider when deciding whether these animals may be imported. NOAA officials told VOA they plan to make a decision on the request by early next year.

The Georgia Aquarium wants to import beluga whales in that_________.

  • A.beluga whales aren't properly cared for in Russia
  • B.there aren't enough whales in the state of Georgia
  • C.beluga whales can provide many economic benefits
  • D.it wants to achieve research and educational purposes

Passage 1

Oprah Winfrey has come a long way from her poor childhood home in a small Mississippi town. She was an unwanted child whose parents never married. She was brought up on her grandmother′s farm. The possibil-ity that she would become rich and famous was slim.

Oprah′s mother left her child in her mother′s care, so she could go to work in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was a strict and difficult life for Oprah. But it also led the way for her future.

She was a highly intelligent child. By the age of three, she had learned to read and write. She also made her first public appearance at that age. Oprah′s intelligence was resented (憎恨) by other children of her age. They called her unkind names and pushed her away. Oprah felt very isolated and unwanted. It made her feel worse that she didn′t live with her mother and father. She felt that no one loved her. This made her angry and rebellious (叛逆的). These feelings brought her much trouble as she was growing up. She often behaved badly, causing her grandmother to punish her. By the age of seven, she was too much for her grandmother to discipline.

Then Oprah went to live with her mother, Vernita, who worked very hard as a housekeeper in Milwaukee. It was hard for her to work and take care of her bright, troublesome child. They lived in poverty in a small apartment. Oprah took out all her angry feelings on her mother. When Oprah was eight, Vernita sent her to live with her father and stepmother in Nashville, Tennessee.

But she moved again a few months later when Vernita married a man with two children. Vernita wanted Oprah to be with her and her new family. Unfortunately, she felt she didn′t belong with them. She believed she wasn′t loved by anyone. Her angry and frustration grew stronger. She struck back by misbehaving and running away from home. Her parents found her impossible to discipline. When she was 14,they tried to send her to a special center for troubled girls.

But there was no room for her. So Vernita sent Oprah back to live with her father. Vernon Winfrey was by then a successful businessman and family man. He took one look at his daughter and knew she needed love, guidance and discipline. He gave her all three. It was a turning point in Oprah′s life. He was strict about his daughter′s education. He gave her homework in addition to her schoolwork. She was allowed to watch only one hour of television a day. She became an A student and a popular girl in her class. Oprah watched Barbara Waiters, a famous journalist, and decided that was what she wanted to be.

When she was still in high school, she got a part-time job reading news on the radio. In her senior year she won a beauty contest and a four-year scholarship to Tennessee State University.

While still in college she was offered a job as a news broadcaster at a local television station. She was the first female and the first African-American newscaster in Nashville. She was promoted to anchor ,the most important position on the news team,while still a senior.

After Oprah graduated she got a job with a Baltimore news station. But she soon realized that broadcast-ing news wasn′t enough for her. She had to let her personality shine through. She wanted to show emotion when she told a story, not just report it. Meanwhile the station managers were thinking the same way. They removed her from the anchor spot and wondered what to do with her. Finally they put her on an early morning talk show called People Are Talking. No one knew what to expect. The show was a great success. In a very short time, the managers and Oprah all knew what she was born to do. She was everything a talk show host should be.

She was so successful that she got a show with a bigger station in Chicago. In 1985 the show was changed to The Oprah Winfrey Show. It was broadcast nationally and soon became the most popular talk show on television. By the age of 35, Oprah Winfrey was one of the most famous celebrities in America.

What does the underlined sentence imply?

  • A.Oprah disliked telling stories in an affectionate way
  • B.Broadcasting news couldn't fully bring out her potential talent
  • C.It was necessary to tell stories in a voice full of emotion then
  • D.Everyone was equal and had the freedom to express his emotions
