Nkosi Johnson, who died last June, is remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his government’s AIDS policies and millions of South Africans in the fight against the disease. Johnson was the longest survivor born with HIV. He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life. At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother (养母), Gail Johnson took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosi’s Haven in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers. Johnson attracted the world’s attention and stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in July 2000. He stood in front of a large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki. He told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given to HIV-positive pregnant women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech. Johnson’s speech was broadcast live across the world.

B. Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood―more than 800 films a year. The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery and romance(but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film.(“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of species.) Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may began on a Bollywood movie before the script is finished. The director and writer can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it. Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot（拍摄） scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget（预算）of only two million US dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million US dollars for a Hollywood film, thirty times as much! 56. What is the main topic of the reading? A. Famous stars in Bollywood. B. How Hollywood movies are made. C. The difference between two movie industries. D. The history of movie-making in India. 57. What is NOT true about Mumbai? A. It is the movie capital of India. B. The new name is Bombay. C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood. D. It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood. 58. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films? A. They are very popular. B. They show Indian culture. C. They are much longer than Hollywood films. D. They mix different styles of movies. 59. Bollywood films are cheap to make because . A. they are shorter than Hollywood films B. the scripts are written by hand C. the movies do not use any special effects D. one movie can reuse things from other movies 60. Which of the statements would the writer probably agree with? A. Most Bollywood movies are very similar. B. It takes a lot of money to make a good movie. C. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies. D. Hollywood movies are too short. C The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” �C and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer �C which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet―adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear �C popular in the US and UK �C that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”. In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name. But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c”? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPad, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition.” He says. “However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability(轻便).” Adds Thorne. Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and they love personalized products for this reason. Along with “Google” and “”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade. But as history shows, people grow tired of fashion. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend disappeared. 61. People use iPlayer to _______. A. listen to music B. make a call C. read newspapers D. watch TV programs online 62. We can infer that the Independent “i” is aimed at _________. A. fashionable women B. old readers C. young readers D. engineers 63. The underlined word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 means _______. A. popular B.uncertain C. definite D. unique 64. The writer suggests that _____. A. the popularity of “i” products may not last long B. iTeddy is a live bear C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products D. “i” products are often of high quality 65. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________. A. portable B. environmentally friendly C. advanced D. recyclable D When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret――Ma Ke. Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla
