They had just climbed their way to the top rung(阶梯) out of 4 million students taking part in the Fifth National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest(竞赛) on Tuesday evening. The 20 gold medal winners are all primary and middle school students under the age of 14. “Many of the problems are of college level and these pupils can figure them out. It is just unbelievable! said a teacher from Guangdong province. Named after China’s most famous mathematician, Hua Luogeng, the contest started in 1986, one year after his death. In less than 10 years, it has been recognized by the State Education Commission(国家教委) as the country’s biggest and best contest of its kind. 51. This news story is mainly about ______. A. when the contest started      B. how the contest got its name C. the 20 pupils who have won gold medals in the contest D. the 5th National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest 52. This news story most probably appeared in a newspaper in ______. A. 1986                 B. 1987 C. 1995                 D. 1997 53. It can be inferred from the text that the teacher from Guangdong province ______. A. felt proud of the gold medal winners B. wondered if the students were honest C. thought that the problems were too difficult for the students D. believed that the twenty winners could go to study at university 54. The underlined phrase “figure out in the text means ______. A. work out                   B. add up C. guess                     D. study B In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called “Lexico”. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from “Lexico” to “Alph” and then to “Criss Cross. He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn’t have any real commercial(商业性的) success. In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name “Scrabble”. At first, it didn’t sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year. Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy’s department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play “Scrabble” while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy’s should stock(储备) the game and make an effort(努力) to call the public’s attention to it. As a result, “scrabble” became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries. 55. The text is mainly about ______. A. “Lexico”                  B. three men C. a word game                  D. Alfred Butts 56. Alfred Butts invented the game “Lexico” ______.

In 1948.        C. Before 1939.                 D. Between 1939 and 1948. C Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. “Most people don’t seem to mind Allan,” says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. “He’s my fourth child,” she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, rson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog. Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides(提供) a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money. People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren’t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance(保险) for their dog. In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage(损坏) their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident. 59. Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because ______. A. he is her dog B. he is her child                     C. he follows her everywhere D. he often falls ill 60.

If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car? A. The owner of the car. B. The owner of the dog. C. The insurance company(公司). D. The government. 62. From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ______. A. dogs are welcome in public places B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble C. many car accidents are caused by dogs D. people care much about dogs D Suppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen.
