Welcome to the Club! and answer the questions that follow.I came here to teach English in my early 20s and eventually moved into business, running a small import-export operation. I majored in Mandarin Chinese back in the U.S. and continued my languag e studies here. I’m now fluent in Chinese and my reading is just about perfect, I’m married to a local woman and have three kids who were all born and raised here. Granted, I haven’t got Chinese citizenship, as that would have involved me renouncing my Ame rican citizenship. I wasn’t prepared to do that as it would have caused me too many headaches, not least of which would have been having to get a visa every time I wanted to go back to visit family. But I have permanent residency in China and consider this my home. Despite all this, most Chinese people will always see me as an outsider. When I speak Mandarin, some people sometimes stare at me like I’m from another planet as they just can’t get it into their heads that a foreigner can speak their language. Also, as an African-American and a fairly tall guy, I am constantly stereotyped. People will ask if I can play basketball and are incredulous when I say I’m not a big fan. Once when I had just come through customs, I was mobbed by a huge group of fans who were waiting to greet some NBA stars who were visiting. It took me ages to explain that they had the wrong guy. Most of the stereotypes people have here are pretty harmless and there is no malice intended, but it can be pretty annoying, especially when peop le act amazed on discovering you’re a businessman.43. Which of the following is true about the writer?a. He has Chinese citizenship.b. He enjoys basketball.c. He has spent many years in his adopted country.d. He has had no issues adapting in his adopted country.44. What do people find hard to believe about the writer?a. He is an NBA star.b. He is an American businessman.c. He has so many children.d. He speaks Mandarin fluently.45. Why did fans mistake the writer for someone famous?a. He is black.b. He is tall.c. He looks American.d. All of the above.46. The word malice is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. harmb. visac. residencyd. stereotype(B)Directions:Directions: Read the following excerpt from Smarty Pants: The Stars with Big Brains and answer the questions that follow.Conan O’BrienThere’s no doubt that the late-night talk show host has the gift of the gab. He’s known for poking fun at anyone and everyone in the entertainment industry including himself. Illustrative of his knack for irreverent, quirky humor is the fact that he was a writer and producer for The Simpsons for a couple of seasons before he made a name for himself. Some might feel that his brand of humor is far from intellectual. However, there is no disputing the 50-year-old’s academic credentials. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard with a degree in history in 1985.Natalie PortmanThe Israeli-born actress is the perfect example of how beauty and brains need not be mutually exclusive. In addition to starring in many critically acclaimed films, she is known for her political-activism, supporting causes like same-sex marriage in the U.S. and women’s rights in developing countries. Although she made her big screen debut in 1994 at the tender age of 12, she did not let it affect her education. Like O’Brien, Portman attended Harvard, where she got her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2003 while continuing her work as an actress. Furthermore, Portman is also a polyglot, with fluency in Hebrew, French and Japanese.47. What did Conan O’Brien do before he was famous?a. studyb. drawc. actd. sell48. According to the excerpt, what do Portman and O’Brien have in common?a. They are 50 years old.b. They graduated in the same year.c. They majored in the same subject.d. They studied at the same university.49. Where is Portman originally from?a. Franceb. Japanc. the Middle Eastd. the U.S.50. The word polyglot is closest in meaning, as it is used in the excerpt, to which of the following?a. bilingualb. multilingualc. Jewishd. deaf。

Reading Comprehension(A)Directions: Read the following excerpt from Elon Musk’s Mission to Mars and answer the questions that follow.Elon Musk has a mission, and any time the South African-born entrepreneur sets out to do something, he usually ends up achieving his goal. Musk started out as a tech wiz before he had even hit his teens, designing a video game at the tender age of 12 years old.In 2002, he achieved his major breakthrough into the big time when he sold PayPal, the online payments company that he had cofounded only three years earlier and established the electric car company Tesla the following year. It has taken Tesla the best part of a decade to make it into the black, but Musk firmly believes that, as technologies improve, and prices come down, consumers will embrace his green machines. Although Tesla grabbed most of the headlines in the period after he sold PayPal, Musk had actually set up another major enterprise in 2002. With the establishment of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX), Musk revealed to the world that he was setting his sights much higher. In May 2012, SpaceX made history when it became the first privately owned company to successfully dock a spacecraft with the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX sent one of its Dragon capsules up to the ISS with a 400-kilogram payload consisting of food and clothing for the six-man team of astronauts that mans the station. Having dropped off the provisions the Dragon returned to Earth where it was fished out of Pacific waters off the coast of Mexico, three weeks after its departure.43. Which word best describes Elon Musk?a. businesspersonb. astronautc. marketerd. explorer44. According to excerpt, in which industry or industries has he made money?a. softwareb. the Internetc. car designd. All of the above45. What does SpaceX do?a. build space stationsb. design environmentally friendly machinesc. develop space shipsd. create missiles for the military46. The word wiz is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. capsuleb. provisionc. enterprised. talent(B)Directions: Read the following excerpt from James Cameron: Into the Abyss and answer the questions that follow.As the director of the 1989 sci-fi thriller The Abyss, which shows a U.S. submarine sinking to the bottom of the ocean, James Cameron has long shown in an interest in what might lie in the deep blue. Cameron was also responsible for the Oscar-winning movie Titanic, and followed this up in 2003 with the documentary Ghosts of the Abyss, which saw him explore the world’s most famous shipwreck. Two years later, he was underwater again for the documentary Aliens of the Deep, which examined some of the incredible creatures that lurk in the Atlan tic Ocean. Exploring the ocean’s depths is clearly something of an obsession for the Canadian filmmaker.In 2012, Cameron took things a stage further, as he descended to the very bottom of the sea alone in a “vertical torpedo.” As part of a National Geogr aphic expedition, Cameron became the first man to journey to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, the deepest point of the world’s oceans. The 11-kilometer descent took two hours and 36 minutes, while the return journey back to the surfac e was a lot quicker at roughly 70 minutes. Using a variety of tools and technology, Cameron’s vehicle – a one-man submarine called the Deepsea Challenger – crawled along the seabed as the director-turned-explorer attempted to collect samples and shoot video footage.47. What is James Cameron most famous for?a. actingb. exploringc. making filmsd. No information is given.48. Which of the following statement is NOT true about James Cameron?a. He found some rare ocean creatures.b. He helped find the real Titanic.c. He was the first to go the furthest down the ocean.d. He went to the Mariana Trench alone.49.

It is a pitythe same cannot be said for the great fairy hoax of theearly 20th century. This hoax may cause you to burstwith laughter now, but at the time many believers defended its credibility. This very well-planned hoax would continue to fool people for years to come!Having appeared throughout Western cultures since the middle ages, the legend of fairies is widespread. Arguably the most famous of fairy hoaxes is the Cottingley Fairies. A series of photographs were taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths who happen to be youngcousins living in the north of England. The photographs depict the two girls with the supposed mythological creatures. Taken in 1917, the photos divided their growing audience, including the parents of Elsie and Frances.Of course many suspected they were fakes, but others including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, saw them as authentic evidence of the existence of these spirits. It was not until 1981 that Wright and Griffiths finally admitted the photos were actually designed using cardboard cut-outs of the tiny winged creatures. If fact, Wright was an accomplished artist and photo technician so it is difficult in a way to call this hoax a lame attempt to fool people. After all, they managed to fool half the world, didn’t they?46. When did the fairy hoax originally take place?a. the late 20th centuryb. 1981c. the early 20th centuryd. the middles ages47. What does the author mean by the jury is still out?a. Cryptids exist for sure.b. Cryptids might exist.c. Fairies exist for sure. c. Fairies might exist.48.

No information is given.50. Why were the pictures of fairies so believable?a. The girls used cutting-edge technology.b. They used pictures from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s books.c. One of the girls was very artistic.d. The photos were sent to a technician to add color.。
