A
Whoopi Goldberg was born as Caryn Johnson in New York City. Drawn to the theater from earliest childhood, she made her performing debut (首演) at eight with the Helena Rubinstein Childrens Theater at the Hudson Guild. In school, Whoopi was always made fun of by her classmates because of her strong features, her shyness and her love for musicals. She finally decided to quit school. After dropping out of high school at 14, she lied about her age to find work as a summer camp guide, and sing in the choruses (合唱隊) of the Broadway shows Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and Pippin.
In 1974, she moved to California. It was at this time that Caryn Johnson adopted her special stage name—Whoopi Goldberg—and began to develop the character monologues (獨白) that were to make her famous. Soon she was touring the US and Europe with her one-woman production, The Spook Show. In 1983, in the New Yorks Dance Theater Workshop, she performed a revised version of her solo act titled simply “Whoopi Goldberg”, which brought her to the attention of Steven Spielberg, who chose her to play the leading role in his film of Alice Walkers novel, The Color Purple. Making her film debut in the role immediately established Goldberg as one of Hollywoods leading dramatic actresses. Her powerful performance brought her a Golden Globe and her first Oscar nomination. Goldberg followed her success in The Color Purple with a successful comic vehicle, Jumping Jack Flash. But her next few comedies were box office disappointments.
In 1990, Goldberg began two seasons starring in the television comedy Baghdad Café. In the same year, Whoopis supporting role in Ghost won her an Academy Award. She is only the 2nd African-American actress to win an Academy Award. At the time of Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, she was the highest paid actress in history.
21. Whoopi Goldberg finally decided to quit school mainly because of ____ .
A. her strong features B. her love for musicals
C. her being laughed at by others D. her being left behind in her studies
22. We can infer from the passage that Goldberg is good at ____ .
A. comedies B. tragedies C. horrible plays D. romantic plays
23. Which film made Goldberg the highest paid actress in history?
A. Ghost. B. The Color Purple. C. Jumping Jack Flash. D. Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.
24. What can we learn from the passage?
A. White actresses often played the leading roles.
B. Goldbergs acting career in Hollywood went smoothly.
C. Europeans liked The Spook Show more than Americans.
D. Goldberg was not old enough when she worked as a camp guide.
B
The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.
A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. “Call me Haiz”, he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids of that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser, to know what the advertiser is really saying, and to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates (預測) that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2019.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
25. Why did the government start the website?
A. To advertise the video game for children. B. To help children know about advertising.
C. To attract the biggest market of buyers. D. To sell the products of its company.
26. What can players do in the website game?
A. Travel to a supermarket. B. Eat in a fast-food restaurant.
C. Play video games during the trip D. Choose the appearance for their character.
27. Children are important for advertising because they are ____ .
A. easily influenced by ads B. important for the society
C. the most potential buyers D. easily affected by poor products
28. According to Michelle Obama, lots of foods advertised for children are ____ .
A. delicious B. healthy C. of low quality D. of high nutrition
C

If you are human, you cant help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit (深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored (忽視) the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him all the time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Dont let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.
33. Paragraph 1 tells us that words play an important part especially when we ____ .
A. stay with our family, friends and co-workers B. hear strangers say something to us
C. get through hard times in life D. make some big mistakes
34. The meaning of the underlined phrase “took heed of ” in Paragraph 3 is similar to “____”.
A. acted according to B. had some doubt
C. got used to D. held on to
35. What lesson should we learn from the passage?
A. Never give up until we win. B. Having a positive attitude is important in life.
C. We must believe in ourselves rather than others. D. We can use encouraging words to help others out.

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. 36
So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (結結巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, its over. Im just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! 37 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 38 Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 39 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? 40
A. Never forget your audience.
B. It doesnt have to be that bad.
C. Give it a try and see what happens.
D. Dont say what you arent familiar with.
E. Say what you have to say and then stop.
F. Take several deep breaths before your speech.
G. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.
