A

In the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.

Hung recently has made an agreement with US -based entertainment firms Koch Records and fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.

The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3", on January27. The Fox TV singing contest searches fur pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s goad, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: The off-key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.

But, it was this very bad act that sold well.

Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Everyone of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”

Whatever it is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.

So, what does Hung think of this?

“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.

Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.

56．What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.

B．Hung's performance attracted the public eye.

C．How an unsuccessful person became famous.

D．Success sometimes does not require hard work.

57．Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________

A．his shirt and pants　　　　B．his off-key singing

C．his hips jerking　　　　　D．his excellent version

58．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?

A．William Hung.　　　　　B．Hung's bad act.

C．Hung’s website.　　　　D．The public’s opinion.

59．Which of the following slows the correct order of what happened to Hung?

a．The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.

b．The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest.

c．Hung became popular among Americans.

d．Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.

e. Three websites put Hung’s funny performance on the Internet.

A．d, b, e, c, aB．a, c, d．b, e　C．a, d, b, c, e　D．d, b, a, e, c

60．Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?

A．His success was based on his own hard work.

B．He attracted people’s attention in the contest.

C．He was good-looking though he didn’t sing well.

D．His character was completely different from other idols’.

B

For centuries, people wondered how big the Earth was. Unfortunately, as long as they thought the Earth was flat, no one was able to figure out its size. Gradually, however, people began to realize that the Earth was really round.

Then, in the third century BC（2,300 years ago）, a Greek man named Eratosthenes had an idea. Eratosthenes was sure that the Earth was a sphere. He used the sun and geometry to figure out the size of the Earth. He calculated that the circumference of the Earth was 28,600 miles（46,000 kilometers）.The true size of the Earth is 25,000 miles（40，000 kilometers）.Eratosthenes’ measurement was wrong, but it was very close to the truth.

For many centuries after Eratoshenes lived, people made maps of the Earth. However, they did not know very much about the world outside of Europe, Asia, and north Africa. Mapmakers could not draw accurate maps of the Earth until people began traveling around the world in the fifteenth century, mapping small areas each time. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people began making correct maps of countries, but the first accurate maps of the world were not made until the 1890s.

Maps today are reliable, inexpensive, and easy to understand．People depend on maps every day. What would our lives be like without them?

61．A sphere is a.

A．large shapeB．planet

C．ballD．member of the sun family

62．What’s a synonym（同义词）for figure out?

A．geometryB．calculateC．make outD．understand

64．A measurement is a .

A．calculationB．kilometerC．true statementD．wrong statement

65．Accurate means.

A．bigB．niceC．smallD．correct

Fame troubled Marie Curie and also her husband, because science was their world and in their world of science fame and honor had no value.

One day, when a writer for a newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself and her thoughts and her beliefs, she answered him, “In science we must be interested in things, not in people.” Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman is found in these few words, which she was later to repeat often. One evening, at a big party, a friend asked her if she would like to see the King of Greece, who was also a guest. She answered in her simple manner, “I do not see the value of it”. Then, seeing that she had hurt the feeling of her friend, she quickly added, “But…but…of course, I shall do whatever you please, just as you please”.
