A.
Police in the Russian city of St. Petersburg were today searching for a rare missing leopard which was stolen yesterday when thieves attacked a TV producer and drove off in his luxury Mercedes 4×4.
The amur leopard, which was in the boot, is one of the world’s most highly endangered species, with fewer than 45 left in the wild in Russia’s remote far east. About 300 others are captive in zoos around the world.
According to its owner, Mikhail Barakin, the thieves were wearing masks. They attacked him and his driver, throwing both of them out of the vehicle, shortly after they drove to St. Petersburg with leopard from Moscow.
“She’s a female leopard cub and she’s incredibly tame,” Barakin told the Guardian this morning. “She’s just over a month old. The leopard was brought up in captivity.”
He went on, “We had been driving all night with the leopard in a travel cage. The plan was to take her to the vet. My driver and I were in the process of setting the leopard in the trunk of my Mercedes…when three masked assailants attacked us. They managed to get away with the car. My suspicion is the theft was done to order.”
Barakin said the leopard, a present from a Moscow businessman, was far more valuable than the stolen Mercedes. He has offered a £85,400 reward for its safe return, and says he is prepared to drop all charges if the thieves bring the animal back.
The leopard was to have been housed in a purpose-built enclosure on a country estate outside St. Petersburg, he added. Barakin said he had hired a specialist to look after it, and was planning to use the cub in TV commercials.
36. We can infer from the passage that the three assailants ______.
A. probably came for the leopard B. would return the leopard safely
C. didn’t know there was a leopard in the car D. were known to Mikhail Barakin
37. The leopard was believed to be more valuable because ______.
A. it was already tamed B. it could be kept as a pet
C. it would be used in TV commercials D. it was an endangered species
38. Mikhail Barakin drove the leopard to ______.
A. put her in a bigger place B. use it in TV commercials
C. put her in better care D. keep her in the zoo
39. If the thieves brought the leopard back, Mikhail Barakin would ______.
A. send them to prison B. give them a reward
C. give them the car as a reward D. not charge them
40. The underlined word “boot” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.
A. a special cage B. a type of shoe
C. the trunk of a car D. a kind of camera

Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don’t need to use.
51. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to practice using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
52. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I’ve been giving you a bit of a plug at our middle school. I told the students to “get a copy!” It’s good stuff! Fantastic!
53. I’m one of Yao’s fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.
54. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank you!
55. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the position of the paper e.g. and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.
A.Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it’s good to look up the words and then mark them down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps. |
B.The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I’ll try to answer. |
C.The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he’s living and playing in Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at: Yao Ming Compaq Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046 |
D.Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you’re right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you. |
F. Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We’re glad it’s helpful to your students. We always try to include articles that reflect real life. It’s our hope that CR will not only improve student’s English but also open up a different worldview.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
51 . 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.
52 .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. 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 spices.)
53 .It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本)is even finished. The director and writer can make up the story while the film is being made. 54 .
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. 55 . 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 U. S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film – thirty times as much!
A.Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. |
B.Bollywood produces more movies than Hollywood. |
C.Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. |
D.They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same, clothes and scenery. |
F.Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.
G.The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies.
During my second year of college, I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church, the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.
To be 36 , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the 37 would be---a very low figure that 38 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the 39 and decided to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to find 40 living place, since the daughter was to 41 home. To my delight, they 42 that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their 43 ----their people became my people. I 44 accepted the offer.
As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be 45 to have a little sister to look after. But when I later met my new sister, I 46 that she was more independent than I first 47 .
We finally fell in love, 48 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more 49 than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go 50 largely because we knew that we are deeply 51 .
It isn’t about marriage… It’s about 52 . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as 53 as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be 54 ----you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.
Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is 55 to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

But her pen dared travel where her eyes would not. In a 50-year writing career, Christie"s murder stories made her the world"s best-known mystery writer. She is outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare.
Her works have been turned into films and TV series, and a line of computer games is to be released over the next six years.
