　　ZHUHAI---China will soon put a person into space and become the third nation in the world to have manned spaceflight, a top Chinese aerospace official said on November 5.

　　A manned launch was not far off, Vice President Hu Hongfu China Aerospace Science Technology Corp (CASTC) told a news conference at the third Zhuhai Air Show . "It will not be long before Chinese astronauts can ride locally-made spaceships into space," Hu said. The official gave no timetable but said it would happen "at beginning of the 21st century."

　　The former Soviet Union and the United States have been putting people into orbit since the early 1960s, but other nations have not considered the challenge worth following.

　　China has already built and sent up its own satellites for communications and weather forecasting. The new communication satellites would help to encourage the country's broadcasting industry, Hu said.

　　But the company, which includes over 130 aerospace agencies, said the lifting ability and success rate of China's space-launches were almost equal in quality to those of other countries.

　　China would gradually close the distance between its country's space industry and that of other nations. He added that they were willing to send up commercial satellites for Taiwan.

　　On China's plan to send up manned spaceflights, Hu said China had made important development after the successful launch in November last year of the country's first experimental spaceship, Shenzhou. "The whole project is in the research stage and a lot of work needs to be done, " Hu said. "We need to have more tests of the unmanned spaceship."

　　China last year announced a four-step manned spaceflight plan with the aim of setting up a space-station served by a spaceship travelling between two places.

　　45.The underlined word "they" here probably refers to ____________.

　　A. the Soviet Union and the USA

　　B. over 130 aerospace agencies

　　C. Russia and China

　　D. Russia and the USA

　　46. The main idea of the 7th paragraph is ___________.

　　A. we haven't tested the manned spaceship

　　B. before we send a manned spaceship, we should carry out many tests

　　C. though we tried once, we need to do more tests of the unmanned spaceship

　　D. sending up a manned spaceship can show a country's scientific level

　　47. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "close"?

　　A. shut

　　B. drop

　　C. shorten

　　D. widen

　　48.The writer wrote the passage to ___________.

　　A. tell us the present situation of China's aerospace technology

　　Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today's advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers to buy certain brands(品牌) .Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片), or see a movie . Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.

　　For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You nay not have space on your shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra -tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.

　　53. What is discussed in this passage?

　　A. The content of modern advertising.

　　B. The skills of modern advertising.

　　C. The results of modern advertising.

　　D. The writing of modern advertising.

　　54. According to the passage, a good advertisement should ________.

　　A. be both persuasive and effective

　　B. give people useful information

　　C. show people a product

　　D. show people a new idea of a product

　　55. From the passage, we can infer that _______.

　　A. modern advertising has less effect on customers

　　B. once customers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy it

　　C. cereal can make people strong

　　D. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people

　　56. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.

　　B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.

　　C. It's impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.

　　D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.

　　Taxes, Taxes and More Taxes

　　Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life; death and taxes. Americans do not have a corner on the "death" market, but many people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes.

　　Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal (联邦), state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.

　　Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. The percentage varies from person to person. It depends on their salaries. The federal government has a graduated income tax, that is, the percentage of the tax (14 to 70 percent) increases as a person's income increases. With the high cost of taxes people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are due.

　　The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which you buy in that state. For example, a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty -five cents. If there is a sales tax of eight percent in that state, then the cost of the cigarettes is twenty -seven cents. This figure includes the sales tax. Some states use income tax in addition to sales tax to raise their revenues (收入) . The state tax laws are diverse (多样) and confusing .

　　The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise (国产) tax, which is charged on cars in a city. The cities use these funds (资金) for education, police and fire departments, public works and municipal (市政内) buildings.

　　Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often protest that the government uses their tax dollars in the wrong way. They say that it spends too much on useless and impractical programs. Although Americans have different views on many issues , they tend to agree on one subject: taxes are too high.

　　57. How do you understand the sentence "Americans do not have a corner on the 'death' market"?

　　A. It means that Americans, just like all other people, must die.

　　B. It means that Americans do not have a secret place to keep from death in their life.

　　C. It means that Americans are not good at doing business in the death market.

　　D. It means that there is no such place as a death market in the U. S .

　　58. Why should the American people usually pay three types of taxes?

　　A. There are three levels of government -federal, state and city -to support the United States.

　　B. There are three kinds of taxes to pay, They are graduated income tax, sales tax and property tax.

　　C. They earn different salaries: high, middle, and low

　　D. Tax laws in different states are different.

　　59. What does the title "Taxes, Taxes, and More Taxes" imply?

　　A. Americans are not satisfied with the three types of taxes.

　　B. The three levels of government do not use the taxes in a right way.

　　C. Americans complain that taxes are too high.

　　D. Americans' taxes are diverse and confusing.

　　Dear Stella,

　　I'm very glad to receive your letter, mentioning us Chinese middle school students' English level. In fact, our listening and speaking skills have been improved greatly as well as reading and writing.

　　Firstly, our English teacher explains texts in English, and we are asked to speak nothing but English in English classes. Secondly, every English exam contains a listening test. As a result, we must listen to many tapes in order to get a handsome mark. And to improve our listening skill further, we often buy some English magazines with CD or MP3. Besides, we take part in the English Corner once a week. Now I believe you have had a new idea about our English level. Welcome to China again and see for yourself.

　　Best wishes to you!

　　Yours,

　　Lihua
