  Russian President Putin named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”
  Russian President Vladimir Putin was named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”on December 19th.2007 for strengthening stability(稳定)that made Russia a world power again.
  The magazine recognized Putin’s“extraordinary feat(技艺)of leadership in taking a country that was in a mess and bringing it stability,”said Richard Stengel,Time’s managing editor.
  The magazine noted that“Person of the Year”is not an honor or an endorsement(认可)but a recognition of leadership that shapes the world.
  Putin,who is 56 years old,is very popular in Russia,making a great effort to cause economy to come to life on revenue(收入)from oil and natural gas.
  Putin recently supported vice-PM Dmitry Medvedev’s presidential bid,and said he would accept Medvedev’s offer to serve as prime minister if Medvedev is elected on March 2.
  The Kremlin said Wednesday the Time recognition was seen there as an acknowledgement of Putin’s role in helping Russia pull out of its social and economic troubles in the 1990s.
  Others considered for“Person of the Year”included Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore and author J.K. Rowling.
  This year’s choice was a return to the magazine’s tradition of picking an individual rather than last year’s choice of“You”,which refers to anyone creating or using content on the World Wide Web.
  Putin is the fifth Russian(or Soviet)leader to be named Person of the Year:Gorbachev,Andropov,Khrushchev and Stalin,who was named twice.
55.How did Putin try to make Russia a world power again?
A.By performing arms race.
B.By making war.
C.By strengthening stability.
D.By getting foreign help.
56.Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?
A.Russia used to be in a mess.
B.Time always picks an individual to be the“Person of the Year”.
C.Oil and natural gas caused Russia’s economy to come to life.
D.Putin will leave office on March 2,2007.
57.What does the underlined word“acknowledgement”mean?
A.Praise.            B.Support.
C.Scold.             D.Recognition.
58.How many times have Russian leaders been named“Person of the Year”so far?
A.Five times.          B.Six times.
C.Seven times.          D.Eight times.

第二部分:阅读理解(10小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests" coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her
hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable (出色的、独特的)girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she"s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined(突出的、优秀的). I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don"t people like me the way
they like my sister? Is it because I "m not pretty? Is that why they don"t say nice things about me as
much?"
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend"s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
61. The underlined expression " make a big "to do" over" (paragraph 4) means ______.
A. show much concern about      B. have a special effect on
C. list jobs to be done for         D. do good things for
62. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ______.
A. beautiful hair      B. pretty clothes   C. lovely smile       D. young age
63 Kristen felt sad and cried because ______.
A. the guest gave her more coats to carry
B. she didn"t look as pretty as Kelly
C. the guests praised her sister more than her
D. her mother didn"t introduce her to the guests
64. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children
B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt
C. people usually like the younger children more
D adults should treat children equally
