　　Saturday, October 7th, was a marathon of sad tasks for Anna Politkovskaya. Two weeks earlier, her father, a retired official in the department of foreign affairs, had died of a heart attack as he emerged from the Moscow Metro while on his way to visit Politkovskaya’s mother, Raisa Mazepa, in the hospital. She had just been diagnosed(診斷) with cancer and was too weak even to attend her husband’s funeral. “Your father will forgive me, because he knows that I have always loved him,” she told Anna and her sister, Elena Kudimova, the day he was buried. A week later, she had an operation and since then Anna and Elena had been taking turns helping her deal with her grief.

　　Politkovskaya was supposed to spend the day at the hospital, but her twenty-six-year-old daughter, who was pregnant, had just moved into Politkovskaya’s apartment, on Lesnaya Street, while her own place was being prepared for the baby. “Anna had so much on her mind,” Elena Kudimova told me when we met in London, before Christmas. “And she was trying to finish her article.” Politkovskaya was a special reporter for the small newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and, like most of her work, the piece focused on the terror that can be seen all over the southern republic of Chechnya. This time, she had been trying to report repeated cruel acts done by people faithful to the Prime Minister, Ramzan Kadyrov, who are in favour of Russia. In the past seven years, Politkovskaya had written dozens of accounts of life during wartime; many had been collected in her book “A Small Corner of Hell: reports from Chechnya.” Politkovskaya was far more likely to spend time in a hospital than on a battlefield, and her writing bore frequent witness to robbery, and the uncontrolled cruelty of life in a place that few other Russians—and almost no other reporters—cared to think about.

　　41. Politkovskaya’s father died of ______.

　　A. tiredness

　　B. a heart disease

　　C. an attack

　　D. an accident

　　42. From the text we know that Raisa Mazepa ______.

　　A. didn’t love her husband

　　B. didn’t attend her husband’s funeral

　　C. was having an operation the day her husband was buried

　　D. was too sad to attend her husband’s funeral

　　43. The underlined word “emerged” most likely means ______.

　　A. came out

　　B. went into

　　C. disappeared

　　D. left for

　　44. How many family members of Anna are mentioned in the passage?

　　A. Three.

　　B. Four

　　C. Five

　　D. Six

　　45. Which of the following words can best describe Politkovskaya’s character?

　　A. Curious

　　B. easy-going

　　C. careless

　　D. responsible

　　Most mornings, the line begins to form at dawn: scores of silent women with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright-blue plastic jug. On good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New Delhi. On bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers don’t come at all. “That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)-colored liquid. “Whoever drinks it will die.” The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neibourhood. Women often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but nobody is desperate enough to drink it.

　　There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litres—less than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that day—two or three buckets’ worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesn’t go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; it’s cheaper. Like the poorest people everywhere, the people of New Delhi’s slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.

　　46. The underlined word “slum” most likely means ______.

　　A. a village

　　B. a small town

　　C. an area of a town with badly-built, over-crowded buildings

　　D. the part of a town that lacks water badly

　　47. Sometimes the water tanker doesn’t come because ______.

　　A. the weather is bad

　　B. there is no electricity

　　C. there is no water

　　D. people don’t want the dirty water

　　48. A person needs at least ________ litres of water a day.

　　A. a hundred

　　B. four hundred

　　C. forty

　　D. fifty

　　49. Which of the following statements is wrong?

　　A. a hundred litres of water a day is enough for Shoba’s family

　　B. Americans uses the largest amount of water each day

　　C. in Kesum Purbahari milk is cheaper than bottled water

　　D. Shoba has a family of seven people

　　50. The passage mainly tells us ______.

　　A. how women in Kesum Purbahari gets their water

　　B. how much water a day a person deeds

　　C. that India lacks water badly

　　D. how India government manages to solve the problem of water

　　One day last September, as Britney Spears was about to board a flight to Los Angeles from London, a blue bottle fell out of her purse. She quickly put it back in, but not before the camera recorded the event. Neither Spears nor her spokesman was willing to comment on the contents of the bottle, but the next morning London’s Daily Express published a page of pictures under the headline “EXCLUSIVE: POP PRINCESS SPOTTED AT AIRPORT WITH POT OF SLIMMING TABLETS.” Spears was apparently carrying Zantrex-3, one of the most popular weight-loss pills now sold in the United States. The pill, which is sold at about fifty dollars for a month’s supply, contains a huge amount of caffeine, some green tea, and three common South American herbs that also act as stimulants (興奮劑). It hit the U.S. market last March and has had a success that would be hard to overstate. Millions of bottles have been sold, and during the Christmas season it was displayed in the windows of the nation’s largest chain of vitamin shops, G.N.C. (It is so highly sought after that many of the stores keep it in locked counters.) Zantrex-3 is also sold at CVS, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, and other chains, and over the telephone and on the Internet. If you type “Zantrex” into Google, more than a hundred thousand pieces of information about it will appear. At any moment, there are scores of people sell it on eBay.

　　Perhaps the most interesting thing about the success story of Zantrex-3, however, is that it is far from unique. There are hundreds of similar products on the market today, and they are bought by millions of Americans. And though Zantrex’s producer makes some exciting statements (“the most advanced weight control compound (化合物)period”), so do the people who sell Stacker 2 and Anorex along with those who sell Carb Eliminator and Fat Eliminator. Almost all of these compounds suggest that they can help people lose weight and regain lost energy, and often without diet, exercise, or any other effort.

　　51. Britney Spears is a / an______.

　　A. dancer

　　B. singer

　　C. athlete

　　D. chemist

　　52. Which of the following is also a kind of weight-loss pill?

　　A. CVS

　　B. Rite Aid

　　C. Wal-Mart

　　D. Anorex

　　53. The underlined part of the sentence in the first paragraph is most likely similar in meaning to ______.

　　A. it is difficult to say how successful Zantrex-3 is

　　B. you can’t overstate the success of Zantrex-3

　　C. you can’t think too highly of the success of Zantrex-3

　　D. Zantrex-3 is not very successful

　　54. From the second paragraph we know that ______ .

　　A. Zantrex-3 is one of the successful weight-loss pills on the US market

　　B. Zantrex-3 is the most successful weight-loss pills on the US market

　　C. Zantrex-3 is the only weight-loss pill on the US market

　　D. there are five kinds of weight-loss pills on the US market

　　55. The text mainly tells us ______.

　　A. when Britney Spears was found taking weight-loss pills with her

　　B. how Zantrex-3 became successful in the USA

　　C. weight-loss pills are very popular in the USA

　　D. Zantrex-3 is forbidden to be sold on the US market

　　41. 答案B。從第2句中的“…had died of a heart attack…”可知B選項是正確答案。C選項attack是“攻擊”的意思，而文中出現的是heart attack，“心臟病”，因此C選項偷換了概念；其他選項與文中相關的表述不相干。

　　42. 答案B。從3、4、5三句可知B選項是正確選項，其他三個選項與文中的表述不一致。

　　43. 答案A。介詞“from”表示動作的出處、來源，而后面的介詞賓語是“the Moscow Metro”，可知“Moscow Metro”是“emerged”這一動作的起源地，因此，A選項符合原文的意思。

　　48. 答案D。根據第2段的“…but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litres”可以知道D選項是正確答案。

　　49. 答案A。根據第2段的Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesn’t go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon.可以判斷A選項不符合文意，而其他選項均可在文中找到支持信息。
