听力原文: Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London. The young man had come on foot from Stradfurd-on-Avon, a small town on the Avon. He was poor, but he had confidence in his future, the future of a great actor. His name was William Shakespeare.
He had not been in London very long before he noticed that play-goers all went to the theatre on horseback. "Here is an opportunity!" he thought," There must be someone to take care of the horses when people are watching a play." So he began to do the job and he did it so well that people all liked him very much.
Soon the actors found the young man a very premising actor and he was given an opportunity to play a part on the stage. From that time on, his name became known. But he was not content with the life of an actor. He took great interest in play-writing. The plays he wrote, popular in England of his own time and up to the present day, have shown him to be one of the greatest writers the world has ever produced. He is among those who are loved by the people in all time and in all lands.

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)
It was a little weird at first, Erin Tobin said, seeing Harry Potter right there on the stage without his pants, or indeed any of his clothes.
Not actually Harry Potter, of course, since he is fictional, but the next best thing. Daniel Radcliffe, who plays him in the movies. Now 17. Mr. Radcliffe has cast off his wand, his broomstick and everything else to appear in the West End revival of Peter Shaffer's "Equus". He stars as Alan Strang, a disturbed young man who, in a distinctly un-Harry-Potterish moment of frenzied psychosexual madness, blinds six horses with a hoof pick.
To make it clear what audiences are in for, at least in part, photographs of Mr. Radcliffe's buff torso, stripped almost to the groin, have been used to advertise the production. It is as jarring as if, say, Anne Hathaway suddenly announced that instead of playing sweet-natured princesses and fashion-world ingénues, she wanted to appear onstage as a nude murderous prostitute.
To explain how is surprising the change of Radcliffe to the audience, the author mentions Anne "Equus" opened last week, and the consensus so far is that Mr. Radcliffe has successfully extricated himself from his cinematic alter ego. Considering that playing Harry Potter is practically all he has done in his career, this is no small achievement.
"I think he's a really good actor, and I sort of forgot about Harry Potter", said Ophelia Oates, 14, who saw the play over the weekend. "Anyway, you can't be Harry Potter forever".
In The Daily Telegraph, Charles Spencer said that "Daniel Radcliffe brilliantly succeeds m throwing off the mantle of Harry Potter, announcing himself as a thrilling stage actor of unexpected depth and range".
Mr. Radcliffe told The Daily Telegraph that "I thought it would be a bad idea to wait till the Potter films were all finished to do something else". There are still a few to go. The fifth, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", is scheduled for release on July 13, and Mr. Radcliffe has signed on for the final two installments as well. (Meanwhile, the seventh and last book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", will hit stores on July 21.)
Harry and Alan could not be more dissimilar as characters, even if both "come from quite weird backgrounds", as 13-year-old Ella Pitt, another recent theatergoer, put it. (And no. she declared, she was not too young for all the nakedness, swearing and sexuality.) Both characters have unresolved issues relating to their parents: Harry, because his are dead, and Alan, because his have driven him insane.
But when it comes to romance, for instance, the celluloid Harry has yet to kiss a girl; the big moment comes in the forthcoming film. Meanwhile, Alan in "Equus" not only engages in some serious equi-erotic nuzzling with an actor playing a horse, but is also onstage, fully nude, for 10 minutes, during which he nearly has sex with an equally naked young woman.

听力原文: Hong Kong Kungfu movie superstar Jackie Chan pocketed the Best Leading Actor Award of the 25th Golden Rooster film awards, dubbed "China's Oscar," organizers announced on Saturday evening.
Jackie Chan was nominated for his role in the "New Police Story." It was the first time that film artists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competed for personal prizes at the Golden Rooster and Full Blossom Film Festival, which gives out the top honors in China's film industry.
Chan expressed his gratefulness to the jury with three "thanks" in his speech at the awarding- ceremony on Saturday evening. "Two years ago, I wanted to make a breakthrough of my performance by acting a different role. I didn't expect to win such an important award by the film," he said.
In the "New Police Story," Chan played a tragic hero, something he had never tried before in his performance career.
Chun is well known for his Kungfu films such as "Drunken Master," "Police Story" and "Rumble in the Bronx. ' "Thunderbolt," also starring Chan, was the first Hong Kong film to be screened at more than 1,000 US cinemas.
The US film "Rush Hour" featuring Chun was among the top 10 movies in the United States in 1998 in terms of box office revenue.
