28、R SHEET 1. 45 David Beckham is the king of the football world, but it is his wife Victoria, former “Posh Spice“ girl, who makes it possible. She was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor. Even now that he has left Manchester United for Royal Madrid, instead of Barcelona
29、 or Milan, it might be because of her. “Posh Spice“ has become a name for Victoria. The Collins Dictionary even has the term “Posh and Beckham“ (Victoria and Beckham). Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer with a bright future at Manchester United, but tha
30、t was about all. Since he married her in 1999, he has become the most famous player British sports have ever produced, and, some say, the most influential man in the country. “When they got together, she was clearly the more popular of the two.“ said Andrew Parker, a sports expert at Warwick Univers
31、ity in Britain. “She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and, all of a sudden, he was a top list celebrity.“ Its believed that, behind the high walls and iron gates of their “Beckingham Palace“, it is Victoria who decides everything. When their baby boy, Brooklyn, fell in 2000, Beckha
32、m left a United training session to look after him, and this led to his being dropped from the team. Many were sure it was Victoria who has asked her husband to stay at home. During a trip to the United States this year, Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public. They would not h
33、ave recognized him if they met him in a car park. She may appear to have taken a back seat, but Victoria is still at the forefront of the “Posh and Back“ project. 46 From the passage, we can conclude that at home_. （ A） Beckham listens to his wife （ B） Victoria listens to her husband （ C） Beckham an
34、d Victoria discuss and do everything together （ D） Beckham has no mind of his own 47 Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham_. （ A） had become world-famous （ B） was completely unknown （ C） was an ordinary football player （ D） was not so influential 48 Which of the following is best supported by the f
35、ourth paragraph? （ A） People still like Victoria better than Beckham. （ B） People liked to see Beckham and Victoria together. （ C） To a large degree, Beckham owes his popularity to Victoria. （ D） Sports experts used to think little of Beckham. 49 Which of the following is NOT true according to this
36、passage? （ A） Beckham is tile most influential man in Britain. （ B） In 2000, Beckham was dropped from his team because he spent a holiday in the United States. （ C） Beckham is now playing for Real Madrid. （ D） Brooklyn was born in 2000. 50 Which of the following might be tile best title of the text?
37、 （ A） The Posh Power （ B） A Perfect Couple （ C） Who Is More Influential Beckham or Victoria （ D） Posh and Back Project 50 The black robin is one of the worlds rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were a
38、bout fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten. These are the only black robins left in the world. The island has many other birds, of course, of different kinds, large and small; these seem to multiply very happily. Steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. Detailed studi
39、es are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made. The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then tie supplied with the robins food it eats only one kind of seed. Thousands of
40、the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our lime at least. Is all this concern a waste of human effort? Is it any business of ours whethe
41、r the black robin survives or dies out? Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable? In the earth s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success and died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms o
42、f life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time. Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early. This is Natures proven method of operation. The rule of selection the survival of the fittest is the one by which human being
43、s have themselves arrived on the scene. He, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most. You may take it as another rule that when, at last, man shows signs of dying out , no other creature will extend a paw to postpone our departure. For Nature, t
44、hough fair, is a hard-hearted mistress. She has no favorites. Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do something about it. 51 The black robins are getting fewer and fewer because _. （ A） there are too many other kinds of birds on the islan
45、d （ B） of lack of food （ C） they cant multiply （ D） there is no room for them on the island 52 A public appeal for money has been made to _ （ A） protect some rare wild creatures （ B） plant the kind of seed （ C） awake the conscience of mankind （ D） make a home for the organizers 53 The creatures that
46、 _can survive. （ A） come across some challenges in their lives （ B） dont come across any challenges in their lives （ C） grow tough （ D） fit the surroundings perfectly 54 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） Nature is unfair to man. （ B） What the earth offers makes man survive. （ C） Everyt
47、hing will be selected by Nature including man. （ D） Small animals will certainly survive for a longer time than man. 55 Creatures will _when man is dying out. （ A） not help him （ B） not step on him （ C） also be dying （ D） hurry out 55 In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of
48、lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Ja
49、pan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people. Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works, In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees“. Many employees do not fall into this category, including a
