22、The life of an actor appears attractive and many young people dream about becoming one. But the truth is, it is very hard work. If you're successful, there are deadlines to be met, appointments to keep and the press to deal with. If you're not successful, then life is extremely tough.
I remember when I started out, I had to search the advertisement board at my drama school every day to look for acting jobs. Drama school was expensive and I needed extra cash to help pay the fees. I welcomed every small job. I played extras in many crowd scenes and became a confident participant in a lot of TV commercials for hair shampoo, soap and washing powder.
I had been working for about two years before I got my lucky break. One day, as I was passing the drama school, I decided to go in to check the notice board. There was nothing on it and I was just leaving when the secretary came along the corridor with a piece of paper. She asked me how I was and I told her life was hard and work was difficult to find. The next moment, she put the paper in my hand and walked away. My hands were shaking as I unfolded the paper, full of expectation. To my surprise, it was an audition (试演) for a clown (小丑) for the Canadian circus. I couldn't stop myself from laughing. I had expected an audition with a famous director for a new film!
When I was at drama school, there had been a course in acrobatics and clown tricks. I had gained top marks in this course for originality and daring. Later I went to the audition feeling very strange. This was not what I'd had in mind when I enrolled in drama school. To my surprise, the job as a clown turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I loved every moment of getting dressed up and putting on the make-up. I had the opportunity to travel the world and I was more than an actor, I was an entertainer as well. I had visited over 32 different countries and entertained millions of people.
【1】The first paragraph is about how ________ it is to be an actor, whether you're successful or not.
A．easy
B．attractive
C．enjoyable
D．difficult
【2】According to paragraph 3, the writer went into the drama school ________.
A．to look for a job
B．to see the secretary
C．to collect a piece of paper
D．to put a notice on the notice board
【3】Which of the following can best describe the author's feeling when he unfolded the paper?
A．Extremely frightened.
B．Feeling anxious and excited.
C．Very worried
D．Trembling with fear.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title?
A．The Life of a TV Actor
B．Acrobatics and Clown Tricks
C．More than an Actor
D．Going to Drama School
23、Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world. OK means all right or acceptable. It expresses agreement or approval. 【1】Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw (乔克托语). The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century. But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s.【2】Some foreign-born people wrote “all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his name——O and K——on each object people gave him to send on the train.【3】The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group the OK club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York. Then there is the expression A-OK．It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.”【4】One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received. There are also funny ways to say okay.【5】These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way. He says okely-doke.
A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke．
B．Still others say a political organization invented the word．
C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on．
D．But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means.
E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.
F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.
G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.
24、Like a tired marriage, the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been reassuringly dull. E-books, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares if they are to remain relevant, but many publishers are too careful about piracy and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six, only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries. The others have either denied requests or are reluctantly experimenting.
Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of e-readers are exactly the customers they need: book-lovers with money—neither the devices nor broadband connections come cheap. If these wonderful people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live, book files can be downloaded at home. Digital library catalogues are often browsed at night from a; comfortable sofa. The files disappear from the device when they are due. Awkwardly for publishers, buying an e-book costs more, than renting one but offers little extra value.
You cannot resell it, lend it to a friend or burn it to stay warm. Owning a book is useful if you want to savor (品尝) it repeatedly, but who reads “Fifty Shades of Grey” twice?
E-lending is not simple, however. There are lots of different and often incompatible e-book formats, devices and licences. Most libraries use a company called Over Drive, a global distributor that secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drived market dominance, as the company can increasingly dictate fees and conditions.
Library boosters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers, and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work. Many were cheered by a recent Pewsurvey, which found that more than half of Americans with Horary cards say they prefer to buy their e-books. But the report also noted that few people know that e-books are available at most libraries, and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists, which may be what inspires people to buy.
So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance. The story of the library e-book is a nail-biter.
【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．Libraries are eager to keep relationship with publishers.
B．Several publishers have sold e-books to most libraries.
C．Libraries care too much about piracy and book sales.
D．Most publishers hesitate to cooperate with libraries.
【2】What does the author say about electronic borrowing?
A．It can help save readers' expenses on devices and broadband connections.
B．It needs checking out and returning to the library via the Internet.
C．It enables readers to resell the book files or lend them to friends.
D．It has a time limit for the book files downloaded on the device.
【3】What do we learn about Over Drive?
A．It has the privilege to offer readers various brands of e-readers.
B．It distributes e-books and audio files to publishers.
C．Its market dominance threatens publishers and libraries.
D．It devotes itself to improving conditions of e-book market.
【4】Which of the following does the writer want to tell us?
A．people with library cards have to wait to borrow popular e-books
B．E-books are accessible in libraries and full of exciting prospects.
C．more than half of Americans choose e-books over physical copies
D．the desire to collect a popular book inspires people to buy it
