Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Julie Wooldridge, Slimming Magazine's "Slimmer of the Year" for 1984, lost 63 lb to win the title. With every pound lost, she gained a more startling resemblance to Britain's Princess Diana, and has now embarked upon a career as a royal look-alike. She is one of the clients of Look Alikes, a London agency at present able to provide dead-ringers for 273 famous (and not so famous) people.
Most of the agency's clients undertake only photographic assignments. Advertisers hope that their model's resemblance to a celebrity will sell the product. Some clients are offered few assignments, or none at all, if their similarity is to historical figures, long-forgotten actors, minor pop-performers, or obscure royalty. Indeed, the agency boasts look-alikes for Einstein, Dahlia Lavi and Gary Numan, to name but a Few.
Only a tiny minority of look-alikes are constantly in demand "Marilyn Monroe" and "Humphrey Bogart" do well, but the undoubted stars of the agency are the British royal family look-alikes, who are offered work in television, film, videos and special promotions, and whose photographic assignments are equalled by their guest appearances at banquets and company functions. Julie Wooldridge and Peter Hugo, the Prince Charles look-alike, are much sought-after, but the long-service medal goes to the lady who plays the Queen.
In 1971, the Royal Academy's summer exhibition displayed a portrait by June Thorburn. Press and public alike were much taken by her charming picture of the Queen, only to discover that the sitter was not Her Majesty but a housewife, Jeannette Charles. From that moment, Mrs. Charles has been inundated (充满) with offers of work. Her resemblance to the Queen appears to be more than skin-deep; she exudes the same unaffected friendliness and dignity as the Queen does in public. This is lucky, as journalists abroad frequently treat her as a British ambassadress, bombarding her with questions about Mrs. Thatcher and, more recently, the miner's strike.
As the original look-alike (she believes the term was coined after her objections to the word "double"), Mrs. Charles is unenthusiastic about the boom in her profession. She takes great pride in her artistry, imitating the Queen rather than caricaturing (用漫画表现) her, and feels that royalty and heads of government deserve more respect than they often get. She has also been open to abuse--a newspaper once superimposed a photograph of her head on to a T-shirted body bearing a slogan exhorting (激励) readers to fight for the Falklands.
Most of the time, though, "it's a lot of fun", she says. In Austria, Mrs. Charles once emerged from her hotel room to find two guards stationed outside. German television's version of the practical joke programme, "Candid Camera", arranged for her royal appearance at a concert in Stuttgart. She commanded the orchestra leader to play a waltz, danced with him, and left with armed escort before the unfortunate victim realized that he had been had.
What business does the London Look Alikes Agency deal with？
A．It chooses the "Slimmer of the Year".
B．It introduces the famous and not so famous people to the public.
C．It provides ringers for some famous and not so famous people.
D．It trains the dead-ringers for the famous and not so famous people.

In 1902, at about the time she became involved with Franklin Roosevelt, she began to work as a volunteer at the Rivington Street Settlement House in one of New York's slum districts. There she taught young women who could not regularly attend school due to their long working hours. This experience, Eleanor's first extended contact with poverty and its demands, helped shape her social conscience; it also exposed Franklin to real poverty for the first time.

Section B Directions: Read the following article about the most famous doll in the world and choose “True” or “False” for sentences 26-35. Barbie at 50 - The Most Famous Doll in the World 50 years ago, Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Barbie, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. According to Barbie’s parents, the Mattel Company, 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home. In today’s world, however, Barbie is facing an identity crisis. There are many rivals on the market. Bratz dolls, for example, came to life seven years ago. They look more like today’s pop stars with lots of makeup and miniskirts. Today Bratz is a challenge for Barbie, as the company offers a wide variety of clothing too. It seems that Barbie has lost her appeal to older girls. “For younger girls playing with a Barbie is much fun, but when you get older you want something more modern,” says a shop assistant in a New York toy store. Indeed, sales have been going down over the past year, partly because of the world’s economic crisis. Barbie still has a lot going for her. More and more doll lovers all over the globe have become collectors. They trade Barbies or buy them on eBay. Others look for special and rare Barbie dolls, like Scarlett O’Hara from “Gone with the Wind”. On the international scene, Barbie remains number one. Although Mattel has been selling fewer Barbies in the USA over the past year, sales in other countries have been going up. In January Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat or even become their own fashion designer. Barbie has changed her image many times over the past decades. Originally she wore blond pony tails and had bright red lips. In the 80s she changed to a more colourful neon look. For her 50th birthday, Mattel is planning some big events. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new clothes for Barbie. She is also scheduled to be a big star during a New York fashion week. 26. Half a decade ago, Barbie was firstly made by the Mattel Company in America.
听力原文： Janet's sister is a stewardess in a famous international airline, and Janet wants to become one too. Of course, she is still too young. The minimum age for a stewardess is twenty and Janet is only sixteen.
For the moment she has taken a job in an office. But she is going to attend evening classes. In particular, she wants to improve her French and she has also decided to take up a second language. Because foreign languages are essential for a stewardess.
Later on, when she is about eighteen, she plans to work in a hotel for a while. This will not be difficult to arrange because one of her uncles is the manager of a big London hotel. Among other things, she proposes to work in the kitchen and the dinning-room. This will be especially valuable experience because an important part of a stewardess's work is to serve the passengers.
Finally, if she has the time, she will go and work in a hospital for a while. Again this will provide more valuable experience.
So, you see, Janet has made up her mind and she is preparing for her career very carefully. But it was not easy for her to decide. She asked a large number of people and they gave her conflicting advice!
