Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same clothes and scenery (舞台布景）. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget （预算） of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!

| Every afternoon in South Korea, when school and work finish, over 100,000 people meet on the Internet to play a game called Lineage. They meet in a virtual（虚拟的） world 500 years in the past. They form teams and fight for justice and money. They are part of one of the Internet's many online gaming communities. The people who play these games are called gamers. Often they meet in 24-hour cafés to play Lineage, as well as other games such as Diablo, StarCraft and Counter Strike. Most gamers just play for fun, but for some people, it can become an obsession （着迷）. |
When gaming becomes an obsession it can become dangerous. In Hong Kong, a seventeen-year-old boy died as a result of playing his favourite game in the café where he worked. After working for eight hours, he often stayed at the café and played Diablo II. On some nights he slept for only two hours. In May 2002, he was found unconscious at a computer after playing all night. When he died later in hospital, doctors said it was because he was exhausted.
In Korea, the dangers can come from other gamers. In the virtual world of Lineage, gamers can create new characters for themselves. High school students can become very powerful fighters and leaders. They play against doctors, businessmen and even members of dangerous gangs. But sometimes things that happen in the game affect real life. Gamers have been beaten up in real life by people they have killed online!
56. How many people play Lineage when school and work are over every day in South Korea?
57. What do people do in the virtual world of Lineage?
58. The online games mentioned in the passage are ________.
59. What does the underlined word “exhausted” mean?

On May 7, 2001, Ronnie Biggs arrived in Britain for the first time in about thirty-five years. His return was the end of one of Britain's most famous crime stories, The Great Train Robbery. In 1963 Biggs was in a gang that stole ￡2.6 million from a train traveling between London and Glasgow. The gang was caught quickly, and Biggs was sentenced to thirty years in jail. Many people thought that the sentence was too harsh（严厉的）. Biggs also thought it was too harsh, so he decided to escape.
Biggs was sent to Wandsworth Prison, a maximum security jail. It had one very high wall to keep the prisoners in, and some guards to watch them. One afternoon in July 1965, Biggs was in the prison yard. He had been in jail for just fifteen months. A tall van（货车） stopped outside the jail, and a ladder was placed against the wall. Then a rope ladder was thrown over the wall into the prison yard. Biggs climbed up the rope ladder, jumped down into the van and escaped!
From that time on, Biggs lived on the run. After hiding in France, Spain and Australia, he finally settled in Brazil in 1970. He was a celebrity（名人） criminal. He appeared in rock videos and movies, and he sold souvenirs to tourists who came to see him. But he missed his home in Britain and, at the age of seventy-one, decided to go home. He was met at the airport by family, friends—and police.
66. Ronnie Biggs was sentenced to thirty years in jail because ________.
67. What kind of prison was Ronnie Biggs in?
68. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is ________.
69. How many countries had Ronnie Biggs been to after he escaped from Britain?
70. When was Ronnie Biggs born?

A) Read the following passage, and then use your own words to give a brief summary of it in about 90 words.（10分）（答案写在答题纸上）
All thanks to the mobile phone
Dave Mill owes his life to his mobile phone. He was trying to make history by walking to the North Pole alone, without any help or support. But after 50 days of extremely bad weather, during which the temperature dropped as low as minus 30°C, Dave was forced to
abandon his attempt.
He had completed 185 miles of the 375-mile journey and had suffered several mishaps（不幸事故）. He had broken his sunglasses, been followed by polar bears and fallen into freezing water twice. Then, after making the decision to give up, he had some more bad luck and found himself stranded （处于困境的） on a floating piece of ice that was slowly melting.
The weather was too bad for any rescue attempt to be made. Dave waited for three days, hoping that conditions would improve. But the rescue planes could not land because dense fog prevented them from seeing the surface of the ice. It was a race against time.
Then he remembered his mobile phone. He marked out a runway on the ice and took a photograph with his digital camera. Then he used his phone to e-mail it to the waiting air rescue team. Using the photograph to guide him, the pilot was able to land in spite of the weather, and Dave was lifted off the ice to safety.

A) One possible version:
All thanks to the mobile phone
Dave Mill was saved by his mobile phone. He was attempting to walk to the North Pole alone. But after 50 days of very bad weather, he had to give up his attempt.
He had completed about half of his journey and had several accidents before he found himself stranded on a floating piece of ice.
The weather was too bad for the rescue planes to land. He took a photograph with his digital camera, then e-mailed it with his mobile phone to the waiting air rescue team. The pilot was able to land using the photograph and Dave was saved.
B) One possible version:
Healthier than ever before!
The most important difference between us and the older generation is education. There is so much information about what is healthy and what is not that it's easy to know what you should and shouldn't eat. My parents certainly didn't learn about this at school as my generation all have.
As well as that, food now is produced to a much higher standard than it used to be. Farming is more efficient and restaurants are cleaner. Most towns also have a gym where it is possible to exercise in many different ways. Finally, there have been more advances in medical technology in our lifetime than at any time in history, which means that we will live longer than any generation before us.

Part III. Passages
Listen to the following two passages and choose the best answer to each question. Each passage will be read twice.
Passage A
W: A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I'd be hanging 30 metres above the ground and enjoying it. As I looked down at the river far below me, I realised why people love rock-climbing. My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The
accommodation wasn't wonderful, but we had everything we needed(beds, blankets, food), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. We had come from various places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last—covered in mud but pleased and excited by what we'd done.
Passage B
M: Sunflower designs seem to be everywhere: on hats and clothing, on posters, on plates and coffee mugs. Although the designs usually show large, bright flowers with black centers and cheerful yellow petals, Nature is more creative. Real-life sunflowers come not only in yellow but also in shades of white, red, brown, and orange. Sunflower blossoms may range in size from only an inch wide to more than a foot across.
Sunflowers are easy to plant. Just press seeds a couple of inches into garden soil. With plenty of sun and some water, they are almost guaranteed to bloom. When they do, you can pick the flowers or leave them in place. After the flowers fade, you can even eat the dried seeds—if you collect them before the birds do. Birds love sunflower seeds, and they can certainly tell the difference between a sunflower design and the real thing!

VII. 写作（Writing）
A) One possible version:
Air pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems. There are at least two kinds of air pollution: carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Carbon monoxide, which is caused by gasoline burned in car engines, makes the air gray and dirty. Scientists and car makers are making changes to ensure less carbon monoxide goes into the air. Carbon dioxide brings the“greenhouse effect”. As a result, the earth has become warmer, and many problems have occurred, such as weather changes, drier summers, and less food.
Scientists say the real problem is the increasing population in the world, which results in larger amounts of fuel being used.
B) One possible version:
Nowadays, teachers and parents are complaining that some students are spending too much time chatting and playing games on computers. In my opinion, students should use computers with the guidance of teachers and parents.
With the development of computer technologies, students cannot be prevented from using computers. As a modern way of communication, students need to keep in touch with their friends by e-mail or online chatting. Though too much time on computer games can be a waste of time, limited playing can help students relax, especially after doing some difficult homework.
All in all, students should have guidance from teachers and parents. For example, teachers and parents can make rules about when students can play on a computer, and at the same time instruct them about how to use English in online communication. In this way, students can make good use of computers in their studies.

Part III. Passages
Listen to the following two passages and choose the best answer to each question. Each passage will be read twice.
Passage A
W: A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I'd be hanging 30 metres above the ground and enjoying it. As I looked down at the river far below me, I realised why people love rock-climbing. My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The
accommodation wasn't wonderful, but we had everything we needed(beds, blankets, food), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. We had come from various places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last—covered in mud but pleased and excited by what we'd done.
Passage B
M: Sunflower designs seem to be everywhere: on hats and clothing, on posters, on plates and coffee mugs. Although the designs usually show large, bright flowers with black centers and cheerful yellow petals, Nature is more creative. Real-life sunflowers come not only in yellow but also in shades of white, red, brown, and orange. Sunflower blossoms may range in size from only an inch wide to more than a foot across.
Sunflowers are easy to plant. Just press seeds a couple of inches into garden soil. With plenty of sun and some water, they are almost guaranteed to bloom. When they do, you can pick the flowers or leave them in place. After the flowers fade, you can even eat the dried seeds—if you collect them before the birds do. Birds love sunflower seeds, and they can certainly tell the difference between a sunflower design and the real thing!
