21．（6分） They hide in trees, hang from helicopters, even follow people down on motorcycles—all so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity. They are paparazzi—photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.
This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.
Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents (反对者) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.
Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”
Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.
Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (美国宪法第一修正案), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.”Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication.
Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.
The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.
1、Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?
A．Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.
B．Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.
C．Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.
D．Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.
2、Supporters of the new law believe that ________.
A．it prevents the media from getting worse
B．it gives photographers a fair way to compete
C．punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job
D．privacy of famous people needs special protection
3、Opponents of the new law are concerned that _________.
A．it will violate paparazzi’s privacy
B．the First Amendment will be changed
C．some photographers will be wrongly accused
D．people will not be informed of important news
4、What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?
A．Critical. B．Neutral. C．Approving. D．Skeptical.
22．（8分）There’s no doubt that water is vital to any life. About 3 percent of the average adult human body is made of water. This includes most of your brain, heart, lungs, muscles and skin, and even about 30 percent of your bones. Yet there’s little scientific agreement about the exact amount of the stuff an individual should consume each day. So how much water do you actually need to drink to be healthy?
You may have heard that you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Yet, the downside of this rule, researchers say, is that drinking water by the glass is not the only way that humans take in it. The “8 X 8” rule essentially overlooks two big sources of daily water consumption. One such source is food. Everything you eat contains some water. Watermelons, for example, are more than 90 percent water by weight. Different diets naturally contain different amounts of waters, and the counts. The other key water sources are other beverages. Non-alcoholic drinks such as coffee, and tea, contain mostly water and all contribute to your hydration（水量）.
So, between all the food, water and other fluids you consume in a day, how much water should you aim to take in?
The National Academics of Sciences suggests that woman consume a total of approximately 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of warm from all beverages and foods each day and men 3.7 liters (125 ounces). But these are just general guidelines.
The truth is, there is no magic standard for hydration—everyone’s need vary depending on their age, weight, level of physical activity, general health and even the climate they live in. The more water you lose, the more water you’ll need to replace with food and drink. If you are looking for concrete advice, though, the best place to look is within. Drink up when you’re thirsty.
1、How does the author support the underlined sentence in Para 1?
A．By providing facts.
B．By asking a question.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By putting forward suggestions.
2、According to the “8 X 8” rule, how much water should we take in a day?
A．8 ounces B．64 ounces
C．91 ounces D．125 ounces
3、What’s the disadvantage of the “8 X 8” rule?
A．The water from both food and other beverages is ignored.
B．It includes the amount of water from both food and beverages.
C．It does not take water from drinks into account.
D．It overlooks the fact that we take in 90% of the water from fruits.
4、What can we infer from the final suggestion?
A．A man doing tiring physical work drunks less than 3.7 liters a week.
B．A person in good health drinks whenever he feels thirsty.
C．An overweight male in a hot summer drinks 125 ounces every two days.
D．A female eating a lot of watermelons drinks more than 91 ounces daily.
23．（8分）My Dear Stuart,
We are overjoyed at your generously long letter. We have been rather worried about you since your reticent Xmas card from Spain. We thought that your indignation at Fascist (Natsi) terrors might have made you join the Spanish Republican army on leaving Oxford. In that case, the world would certainly gain a hero, but we might (O horrible thought!) lose a friend. You can imagine our relief to hear from you again.
We shall be here for another four or five months yet, and we shall sail home in September. Not that we have homes to return to! Our houses, spared by the shell-fire, have been looted and gutted of all their valuable contents. Our families have taken refuge in mountains. My wife lost her mother, and I myself have no hope of getting jobs in China. However, one’s own people; I don’t mind suffering a bit. The revolution of the Fortune’s wheel might bring us up, and, as Goethe (歌德，著名诗人) was fond of saying, abwarten Sie.
Yes, Stuart, I have been working entirely on my own. I have tried to read French literature systematically downwards, beginning with Villon, and already got as far as the mid-nineteenth century. I have also read the German romantics. I am reading Taine’s novel. Besides, I have not neglected my English and Chinese studies.
Oh, my baby daughter is bursting fat. She already boasts of six teeth (each tooth meaning a week or so of worries and sleeplessness on her part as well as our own). She is very naughty and self-willed. She will be able to walk a little next month.
My wife sends you her best wishes. Write to me at your earliest convenience.
Yours ever,
Chung-shu Tchi’ien
P.S. My wife wants me to tell you that the baby is really “her father’s daughter”. She loves nothing so much as books—to tear and nibble at, certainly not to read. She throws away her toys to grab at the books we happen to be reading.
1、If published, the letter can be found in the column of .
A．continued stories B．cover story
C．book review D．anecdotes and life
2、We can infer from the letter that .
A．the writer’s homeland was suffering from a terrible war
B．the writer, as well as Stuart, was fond of Chinese literature
C．the writer and his family had never planned to leave for homeland
D．Stuart was leaving for China together with the writer and his family
3、The expression abwarten Sie in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A．ignore helplessly B．escape hopelessly
C．seek desperately D．wait patiently
4、The tone of the writer’s writing about his daughter is .
A．casual B．cautious
C．humorous D．determined
