Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Michael Jordan, the winner of six NBA titles, is one of the greatest athletes in the world. He is very popular and admirable, and is viewed as the soul of a champion. However, most people are not so successful as Michael Jordan. The problem is not a lack of ability, but will. Michael Jordan, as you know, once suffered a lot as well, but he never gave in. For example, when he was a teenage boy, he was cut from his high school basketball team, but he kept on practicing for hours every day, which showed his work ethic. When he became the greatest player in the history of basketball at the age of thirty-five, he led his aging team to another championship. He set an example and a standard for which, perhaps, mankind has not yet developed a vocabulary.
Michael Jordan is also a genius because he always kept trying, especially when he was in trouble. Thomas Edison once defined genius as one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Many of us, perhaps most of us, do not wish to try that hard. But Michael does not share such reluctance. When he played in a championship game with a fever that would keep most men in bed, although he was physically too weak to stand, by an act of will, he scored thirty-eight points and hit the game-winning shot, Then we cannot help asking urselves= what can we achieve if we try like Michael Jordan in our life？
The way Michael Jordan conducted his life also greatly inspired people, such as the way he spoke and dressed, the loyalty he showed to his coach and team and the dignity and grace with which he dealt with problems, etc. He truly stood high above his peers.
The passage is mainly concerned with ______.
A．the spirit of Michael Jordan
B．the life of Michael Jordan
C．the significance of basketball
D．the history of basketball
"That was in slavery time", says Charlie Smith in one interview. "They sold the colored people. And they were bringing them from Africa. They brought me from Africa. I was a child".
The Library of Congress released the collection of recordings, Voices from the Days of Slavery, in January. The recordings were made between 1932 and 1975. Speaking at least 60 years after their emancipation(解放), the storytellers discuss their experiences as slaves. They also tell about their lives as free men and women.
Isom Moseley was just a boy at the time of emancipation, but he recalls that things were slow to change. "It was a year before the folks knew they were free", he says.
Michael Taft, the head of the library's archive of folk culture, says the recordings reveal something that written stories cannot. "The power of hearing someone speak is so much greater than reading something from the page", Taft says. "It's how something is said—the dialect, the low pitches, the pauses—that helps tell the story".
What is new about the slaves' stories？
A．They are told in the slaves' own voices.
B．People travel around the world to hear them.
C．Colored people were sold.
D．They happened in the slavery time.

Fermat's Last Theorem
Simon Sigh
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world's greatest mathematical problem: Fermat's Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat's Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

"Generally, anything you do with the words which actually makes them yours rather than just abstract things which appear in a book or on a record will almost certainly help you to learn them. So, for example, writing them down is better than reading them. Putting them on bits of paper and sticking them up around your house is better than just looking at them in the page of a book. Saying them out loud is better than reading them quietly. Anything which actually gets you to use them would probably help." Encouragement and nurturing in the students and belief in their ability to learn is one of the central tenets of a relatively new approach. It's called Accelerated Learning and it's an offshoot of an idea that began in Bulgaria. Michael Lawlor runs a language school for business executives, teaching foreign languages to the British, and English to foreigners. He's currently testing this system to see if he can incorporate it into his teaching program at his school. The main principle is to tap the students' emotions as well as their intellects and, to begin with, to get them to visualize themselves as successful communicators in the language they're learning.
"They can actually create a very clear mental picture of themselves say in five year's time, in the coun try where the language is spoken, interacting with the people. They can also boost their own confidence as learners by recreating past successful learning situation. Many people fail in learning a language because their minds get calmer and they provide their brains with oxygen. We teach them to sit properly so that they don't lose energy and maybe to have some simple physical movements to keep their energy up. All these things are part of the learning process."
The course work is based on puzzles and games and above all on bilingual dialogues, so there's no fear of not understanding. As the grammar is introduced, the rules are put into rhyming couplets to make them easier to remember. This method is all about reaching into the under-used resources of mind and memory. After a class, the students have a concert session when they hear the dialogue they were working on against a background of baroque music. Michael Lawlor explains why they used baroque music.
"Dr Lazanov in Bulgaria, in his original experiments, found that baroque music produced a state of relaxed awareness, which is now known more generally as the alpha state. If you take the large passages or the adagio passages from largo music, you find that they correspond more or less to the slowed-down speed of the human heart--about 60 beats to the minute. So we're helping people to slow down their body rhythms. The mind then becomes more receptive and open to passive learning, to listening. So that's why music of this kind is important. But it also, of course, touches the emotions. The music will induce a state of pleasurable expectation and if we can link the emotion of pleasure with learning, then we're making a very valuable contribution to the students' affective, or emotional, involvement with the learning process."
The Choice of a soft-spoken female voice to present the language in accelerated learning techniques is also deliberate. After all, who was it who taught you to speak your own language all those years ago？
Many people fail in learning a language because ______.
A．they are too old
B．they lack language ability
C．they lose their own confidence
D．the teachers are not good enough
