单选题Read the texts from the "LETTERS" section of a magazine in which five people commented on the magazine''s story of Bono, a superstar. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Caroline Hartman: Thanks for the terrific article on U2''s Bono and his efforts to save Africa from financial ruin. He''s not a saint. He is a hard-working, real man, using his gifts to inspire us in song and make a difference in the world. Some issues are so serious that most of us don''t even try to fix them. Bono can''t save the world by himself, but like others who have shown the way, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, he is proving that one man can make a difference. Molly Leuschel: Bono may be smarter, better informed and more committed than other stars, but Africa''s problems are larger than his ambition. After living in Africa nearly six years, I returned to the U. S. with more questions than answers. Debt relief is a noble idea, but most foreign aid does little to enrich the life of the average African. Amanda Adichie: I am a 24-year-old Nigerian and have often viewed stars'' "concern" for Africa with resentment. My reaction to Bono was different: I was impressed. He is right in recommending not only debt relief but the lowering of trade restrictions on African countries. What Africa needs is not gifts of fish but fair access to the fishing pond. Malini Ranganathan: Your story on the smartest superstar on the planet was brilliant. I felt like I was right there with him, there to nod my head in approval and to believe in the potential of his African-debt-relief campaign, there to appreciate the peculiar, stubborn, witty and human sides to a guy who seems too famous to be real. Hats off to you for capturing these features so aptly and for making Bono''s personality so real, his cause so true. Lynne Pereira: I loved your article on Bono, but why the annoying wording on your cover: "Don''t laugh — the planet''s biggest rock star is on a mission to make a difference"? Who would want to laugh? Bono has proved that he''s willing and able to do what plenty of world leaders can''t or won''t do: put his money where his mouth is and make a difference. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements [A] Competition on an equal footing is vital to Africa. [B] Bono should save himself from himself. [C] One man''s power, though limited, is significant. [D] Africa''s problems are insolvable. [E] You have presented a real image of Bono. [F] Africa is faced with other issues besides debts. [G] Bono''s cause is a serious business.

单选题{{B}}Text 1{{/B}} An increase in free parks in Shanghai might be pleasant, but they bring with them their own problems. There are already 122 free parks for citizens to enjoy. But visitors are often hassled by beggars and fortune-tellers, and put off by the smell of urine left behind by someone using the grass as a toilet. Law and order in free parks are also worrying the city's park operators. They couldn't take any mandatory measures on those who do indecent things in parks except to try to persuade them to stop according to local regulations on park operations, which were laid out many years ago and many parts are not in line with the need for maintenance of the increasing number of free parks. Patrols could be introduced to help park managers. On April 1,2005, Shanghai opened 23 new free parks, bringing the total number of such parks to 122. A lack of cash has also hindered park operations. The local government has allowed for subsidies to cover the cost of not charging for tickets, but attendance is often more than expected, adding to maintenance and security costs. Many parks manage to be self-supporting by running businesses such as convenient stores and cafeterias. Some also rent out areas to companies who want to do outdoor promotions. But the bottom line is that parks should be comfortable places for visitors and should not be turned into outdoor markets. As well as not charging for tickets, parks are cutting back on staff, having a few staff members for daily operations. Most construction and maintenance jobs are commissioned to enterprises through public bidding so as to evaluate costs in a transparent and economical way. So far, more than 12,000 citizens are working as volunteers to help with park operations in Shanghai. Shanghai has spent more than 3 per cent of its GDP on environmental protection in recent years. Its heavy expenditure in landscaping also paid off as it won the "National Garden City" award last year. Shanghai's goal is to increase its green area to 12 square metres per capita. It now has more than 17 million permanent residents.

单选题Some time ago, I discovered that one of the chairs in my front hall had a broken leg. I didn't foresee any great difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops on Pimlico Road which is three minutes' walk from my fiat, so I set forth one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop confidently expecting a friendly reception, with a kindly man saying, "What a charming chair! Yes, that's quite a simple job. When would you want it back? " I was quite wrong. I wasn't too concerned; after all, it was only the first try and there are many more shops on both sides of the road. The reaction at the second shop, though slightly politer, was just the same, and at the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. I placed the chair gently on the floor, then the rather fierce shop owner looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad little chair, how much do you want for it?" "￡20," I said. "It's got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that. It's nothing; don't worry about it. " "what will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be very saleable once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall leave that, yes, very saleable. " "I'll buy it," I said. "Yes, I know, but I've changed my mind; as a matter of fact, it is just what I'm looking for. I've got a pair to it at home; I'll give you ￡ 27 for it." "You must be crazy," he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he smiled and said, "I know what you want, you want me to mend your chair." "And what would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to repair it for me?" "I wouldn't have done it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance(麻烦事情), but I'll mend this for you. /
