The verdict(判决) is no. according to an inquiry(调查) held into the cause of her death over the last six months. The big question was whether the deaths of Diana and her boyfriend Dodi A1 Fayed in a deadly car crash in 1997 had been accidental, or whether there was some kind of conspiracy(阴谋) to have them killed. Dodi’s father Mohamed A1 Fayed, owner of London’s world-famous department store Harrods, has insisted for the last decade that the pair were murdered by spies of the British state who did not want them to marry. But his theories now look to have been blown out of the water. The court found that Princess Diana and her boyfriend were not murdered but killed due to the “gross, carelessness” of her driver and the paparazzi(偷拍的摄影记者). Her driver was drunk at the time of the crash and the paparazzi had been running after their car. So is this the end of the Diana story? British taxpayers may hope so. The inquiry has cost them about £10m (140m RMB). “Thank God it’s over”, was the headline in The Guardian newspaper. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it was time to “draw a line” under the death of the Princess. But Mohamed AI Fayed has refused to accept the judgment. He says the result will come as a “blow” to millions of his supporters around the world, and has not ruled out starting another investigation. Whatever happens, next, the special place Princess Diana has in the hearts of people around the world is not likely to be forgotten. 56. According to the text, the inquiry focuses on _______. A. what caused the deaths of Diana and her boyfriend B. who were the paparazzi C. how much British taxpayers paid for the case D. whether the driver was drunk then . 57. By saying the underlined “his theories now look to have been blown out of the water”, the author means that ________. A. Mohamed lacks confidence in the case B. Mohamed feels disappointed at the result C. Mohamed’s idea seems to be believable D. Mohamed’s idea possibly proves to be wrong 58. Similar to The Guardian newspaper, UK Prime Minister ________. A. felt sorry for the deadly car crash B. questioned the purpose of Dodi’s father C. stood for the court’s judgment D. blamed the paparazzi for their bad behavior |

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分) Big things were happening in my life the summer I turned 13. In the middle of that summer, my parents shook my entire world and turned it upside down when they told me they were getting a divorce. I couldn"t believe that our family was going to break up. Though I always knew my parents weren"t very happy and they often fought, I still wanted my family to stay the same. My life changed completely after the divorce.My mother and I moved into a small apartment across town,while my father and brother,Bill, stayed in our house.I now became a visitor whenever I went to see my dad and Bill on the weekends. And immediately I had my soon-to-be stepfather,Dan,whom I showed no interest in.I was clearly depressed, especially after Dan and my mother married and I realized that there was no way that things could change back to the way they had been. Even though I resisted all Dan"s attempts to get to know me and wasn"t very nice to him, he never gave up on me. Gradually, I began to trust him. I realized that we actually had some things in common, especially when it came to movies and TV shows. We spent a lot of time together hanging out watching TV. That gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other. Better still, Dan showed an interest in me that I had never experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed advice on school or friends. Once I began to warm up to Dan, the three of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and took short trips. Eventually, I discovered that I finally had the happy family that I had always wanted. I now realize my parents were right about getting the divorce. Their breakup was the best thing to happen for all of us. My father also found happiness- he remarried and had another child, my half-sister, Michelle. At 13, I learned an important truth-change is not always the worst thing that can happen. Sometimes, it is just what we need the most. 61.According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG? A.Their parents didn"t love each other any longer.

On August 26, 1999, New York City experienced a torrential downpour. The merciless rain caused the streets to flood. New York City" s subway system came to a screeching stop as the subway stations were drowned in water. Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour. Many people who were going to work were trapped and forced to go home. Some battled with fellow New Yorkers to hail a cab or to get on a bus. Still others braved the storm, walking miles to get to work. I happened to be one of the people on their way to work that morning. I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most service had stopped. After running around like crazy and making my way through crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was operating. Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to board the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the platform. Determined to get to work, I decided to take the train uptown several stops and then switch back to the downtown train. It was annoyance, but it paid off. However, the train got more packed at each stop. People pushed and shoved. I was constantly hit with elbows and bags. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity (no end),the train reached my stop. But the journey was not over yet. I would still have to walk several blocks to get to my office. When I finally got to work, I was completely soaked and left a puddle of water everywhere I sat. I was also exhausted (tired out)and discouraged from my commute. My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When 5:00 rolled around,I was ready to go home. I was about to log off my computer when I received an email from Garth, my Deputy Director: I would like to thank all those who made the effort and eventually reported to work. It is always reassuring, at times like these, when employees so clearly show their devotion to their jobs. Thank you. His email was short,but I learned more from that brief message than I ever did from a textbook. The email taught me that a few words of appreciation can make a big difference.The rainstorm and the transit troubles had made me miserable.But Garth"s words immediately invigorated me and put a smile back on my face.As a matter of fact,his email made the whole subway painful experience all worthwhile. August 26,1999 may have been one of the darkest days in New York City history,but it was one of the brightest days in my life thanks to Garth. 65.The subway system in NY came to a sudden stop because_______. A. most of its service had stopped B. it was flooded by busy travelers C. it was during a morning rush hour D. its stations were covered with water 66.How did the writer get to her office? A. By pushing in the stairs to the platform. B. By switching trains in a roundabout way C. By battling with people to hail a taxi. D. By walking miles to get to the office. 67.The underlined word "invigorated" probably means_______. A. inspired B. expected C. liberated D. convinced 68.Which is the best title for the passage? A. A downpour in mid-summer B. A lesson from a rainy day C. An appreciation of a misery D. A dark day in New York history |
