 (山西省康杰中學(xué)2009屆高三6月模擬C篇)

Sun Li has bumped into the headline of the press recently not because of her role of an actress but of a sponsor (贊助者) of a university student.

The student named Zhang Haiqing, who studies in Shanghai Fisheries University, wrote a letter to a reporter named Qiu Zhaoju working in Chongqing Satellite TV , saying that Sun, who had sponsored him for two years, stopped the financial aid after his entry into university and insulted him with words like “you are no better than a pet dog. ”

In 2002, Sun decided to sponsor the student who had lived in a poverty-stricken area when she shot a TV series in Yunnan Province. According to Sun’s spokeswomen Ms. Wang, the actress and her mother bought pens, notebooks, even a mobile phone and a camera besides tuitions for him.

Qiu revealed the complaint in his blog, which has soon set off a heated debate over whether Sun should stop or continue her aid to Zhang. Most of netizens who responded to the news expressed strongly different views to-wards the issue.

The issue has answered for an old Chinese saying that longtime sponsorship will lead to hatred, an article written by a reader named Yin Guo’an on people. com. cn.

The saying tells us that longtime contacts will set off conflicts. If Sun had donated 5,000 yuan to Zhang once and for all, the student would have had heartfelt gratitude for her. Now, however Sun’s two –year-old funding has induced his complaint.

It could be seen, the article said, that Sun had planned to shoulder Zhang’s tuition until his graduation from university, as showed the actress’ responsible attitude.

As a student being sponsored, Zhang should have some self-control so he could neither feel justified to ask for constant help nor return kindness with hatred, the article suggested.

The reporter Qiu also voiced his own views on kindness. There is no real kind and enmity between Sun and Zhang, he said. Both parties have not done something wrong, the reporter believed, _____, which results in mis-understanding and such a result no one could expect at the very beginning.

That is why he put the student’s letter in his blog, the reporter explained. “I want you to think of the questions: why will a kind action lead to a bad ending? How should we help an innocent student deal with the action? What sort of kind actions will get the best result?”

64. The sponsoring matter between Sun Li and Zhang Haiqing was probably first released ______.

A. by Yin Guo’ an                      B. in Chongqing Satellite TV

C. on the Internet                      D. by Sun Li’s spokes woman

65. Which of the following is the best sentence to be put into the blank in the text?

A. they just lack some communication             

B. they don't want their matter solved

C. the key between them lack honesty

D. they both think themselves

66. Yin Guo’an has right approved of all EXCEPT______.

A. Zhang Haiqing should return kindness to Sun Li

B. Sun Li had better give away a amount of money to Zhang once

C. long-time sponsorship has led to this complaint

D. Sun Li will give up the sponsorship to Zhang Haiqing

67. From the text we can infer that ______.

Beijing - The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy’s proposal to extend the
Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
     More than 78 percent of about 27,600  respondents to a poll on www.people.com.cn <http://www.
21cnjy.com/> voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing, who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west
China's Sichuan province.  Li   said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions,
especially fog the nation's  220  million migrant workers.
     With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span,the holiday puts great
stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism,  he added. He suggested the ho1iday be
extended and cover the three adjacent (毗連的) weekends, which means  the public could take a total
of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival,which falls on the 15th day of the
lunar new year, with their families.
     People would  then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the  traditional  holiday with their families, Li said
during an interview with People's Daily Online on Friday.
     Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday  will ease the burden on public transport and
strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than  
the  National  Day holiday," one responder said  in an online post.  "Every year,  I wish I could spend
more time at home for  the Spring Festival,  but I always have to go back to work. I hope the NPC will
approve this  proposal.
     " Another online comment read:   "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent  the  annual  
transportation crush, which has in recent years resembled an exodus (出走) of fleeing refugees (難民)''.
     Most of the about 13 percent  who  opposed the idea citied difficulties readjusting to work after the
break. Some pointed out that office moral (士氣) was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After thesix-day holiday, many people come back to work feeling absent-minded," one respondent said. Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
     Another 10 percent said lawmakers should carefully study the impacts before they make any decisions
on holidays.

1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Li Jing suggested extending the Spring Festival holiday?
A. The floating population could spend the Lantern Festival.
B. People could spend more money and this could promote consumption.
C. The lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions.
D. The holiday puts great stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism

A. It could cover the two adjacent weekends.
B. The holiday would be from the first day of the lunar year.
C. He added the Lantern Festival as an independent official holiday.
