A recent trend (趋势) in Californian restaurants shows new eating habits among those out to have an interesting dining experience. Appetizers (开胃品) seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks sampled in various types of restaurants, bars and cafes. In this way, in the course of an evening out, you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of town, to a bar with some live music at the other end, then for a coffee, and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer.

Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently, each with their own particular type of food and special atmosphere, combined with the increased sophistication in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days, when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza, creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on.

Prices for appetizers are not equal to a full meal; however, their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly, for that special occasion, a meal in a nice restaurant, complete with the piano performance, is hard to beat. However, if we see that this trend for "butterfly eating"-- moving around several different places in one evening -- continues, then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well!

41. How are Californian people's eating habits changing?

A. People are dining out less. B. Californian restaurants are becoming less popular.

C. Most people eat less than they used to. D. A full restaurant meal is losing popularity.

42. All the places which serve appetizers

A. have much the same menu B. have their own particular characteristics

A. need a car or a bus or other transport B. be bored with some kinds of snacks

C. spend more time for a full meal than you would D. eat too much meat

THIS movie is about an adventure on an island called Skull, where an oversize gorilla named Kong falls in love with a blonde beauty. Nothing much to expect, you might say .

But you might be wrong.

It has been 72 years since the story was first brought to the screen. But the latest movie version, "King Kong", is a box office hit in the US. The film opens in China on January 14.

Kong himself resonates through American culture: his name known to every 10-year-old boy, his image used to sell everything from insurance to snacks.

So what is it that makes the story attractive to generations of Americans?

Set in the Great Depression of the 1930s, the film follows New York actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), who is kidnapped by movie makers. She was taken to the Skull Island, where she was caught by the aboriginals, who want to sacrifice her to King Kong, a gorilla.

But instead of eating Ann, King Kong saves her. He is captured and dragged back to New York. There he bursts free and climbs the Empire State Building in search of Ann.

Why did King Kong appear in 1933? And why is he back now, in 2005?

In 1933 a worldwide economic depression threw the future into doubt. "The monster represents American workers' feelings at being caged by forces beyond their control," says Gerald Molyneaux, La Salle University film professor and biographer of Charlie Chaplin.

Now, once again, Americans worry about their future in an age of terror, threatened by the presence of "the other" this time by al-Qaida.

But some people, on the other hand, see the movie just as what it is.

"I am confident the story is not any type of social or political allegory," says artist Dave Dorman, creator of the cover illustrations for the new King Kong comic books. "Sometimes an ape is just an ape."

46. What is the best title for this passage?

A. King Kong rules B. A Film Named “King Kong”

C. An Ape Called King Kong on an Island D. Why King Kong is so popular in America now ?

47. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong ?

A. King Kong falls in love with a beautiful girl with blonde hair whose name is Ann.

B. The story was once made into a film 72 years ago.

C. Now Americans worry about their future in an age of terror, because the new King Kong will be beyond their control.

D. The story referred to in the passage has been very popular in America.

48. When the artist Dave Dorman ,creator of the cover illustrations for the new King Kong comic books says “Sometimes an ape is just an ape.” , he probably means________.

A. an ape is not as clever as a human being though it is kind-hearted

B. an ape is impossible to control human beings

C. King Kong is a monster that will be under the control of Americans

D. the story has nothing to do with social or political issues

49. We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. King Kong is an adventure story

B. King Kong is caught and brought back to New York, but he escapes

C. American people like King Kong very much

D. the terror attack made by al-Qaida today has brought great terror to American people

50. The main purpose for the writer to write this passage is_________.

A. to introduce something about the new American film “King Kong” to the Chinese people

B. to introduce something about the new Chinese film “King Kong” to the American people

C. to make some comments on the new film “King Kong”

D. to present him review to the readers

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were！Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't." It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock , a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90 , cellist(大提琴家)Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach(巴赫). As the music flowed through his fingers , his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Years make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul old”

Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, a lawyer , long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money .”

If we cannot do what we love as a fulltime career , we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw .This activity ended her sadness that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “ I am persuaded to call Lay ton a genius.”

We can’t afford to waste tears on “Might-have-beens ” . We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “What –can –be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.

51. The passage mainly shows us__________ .

A. enthusiasm is the basic element of everything

B. enthusiasm helps us to succeed to a greater degree

C. enthusiasm makes us experience more life

D. we can do nothing without enthusiasm

52. From the example of the Nobel Prize winner Barbara McClintock , we may find________.

A. enthusiasm can encourage us in difficult times

B. enthusiastic people always get a deep pleasure from work

C. you can’t make any achievement if you have no enthusiasm

D. enthusiastic people are sure to gain great fame in the end

53. The underlined sentence in Paragraph Three suggests_______________.

A. time and tide wait for no man B. we grow old as time goes on

C. people feel young with enthusiasm D. our soul becomes old with enthusiasm

54. The sentence “I never made a penny until I stopped working for money .” in Paragraph Four refers to “___________”

A. I wouldn’t work unless I could make money

B. I believe that my work will be rewarded

C. Working for money is what I love to do

D. Working for money makes no money at all.

55．The main idea of the last paragraph is ___________．

A．we should try heart and soul to win what we want

B．enthusiasm can give us pleasure, though we have to sweat

C．we have not enough money to buy what we need

D．enthusiasm with sweat is what we need
