    Britain's oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr John Evans had never found the time or the money—to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all expenses paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
    Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century.“There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling="1/20" pound) return from Swansea—too much I thought. All my money went to the family then，” he said.
    During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a whistle stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament(国会).
    The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move
    him about if he gets tired.“I don't like the chair business—people will so think I am getting old，” he said.
    His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized—no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, “I'm glad to see they've given me a return ticket.”
    1.It was reported that Mr Evans's healthy long life was to a certain extent due to his________ .
    A. wine drinking         B. proper smoking
    C. mild temper           D. sense of humor 
    2.Which of the following statements is true?
    A.A single trip from Mr Evans's home to the White City used to be ten shillings.
    B.The first place for Mr Evans to visit is the Houses of Parliament.
    C.He appreciated people's arrangement of a wheelchair during his visit.
    D.Mr Evans once made the journey to London at the turn of the century. 
    3.The word “quip” in the last sentence most probably means  ________.
    A. to make a witty remark         B. to express a happy message
    C. to make a wish                 D. to tell a joke 
    4.What might be the best title for this passage?
    A. 110-Year-Old Tourist           B. Secret for Long and Healthy Life
    C. Free Return Ticket             D. Sightseeing in London

    New Beijing, Great Olympics
    The 2008 Olympic Games has been the most cheerful and anticipated（预先的） event throughout Beijing ever since Beijing was rewarded the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, yet the focus should be shifted from making a promise to carrying out the promise made.
    　 In my point of view, to bridge the gap between the promise and reality, Beijing still has a long way to go. To begin with, basic-structure construction should be the primary concern. Such basic-structures as communications and transportation system and facilities ought to draw our constant attention. For example, traffic jam has been an age-old headache in Beijing. The scene of long queues of vehicles worming their way inch by inch will surely cause great disorder, and impair the image of the city meanwhile. Next, to add charm to convenience, overall cityplanning is quite necessary. Time permitting, a redesign of city plan and adjustment of architectural style would provide a better environment for cultivating the characteristic, mixing oriental elegance(东方的雅致) with international greatness, will tower aloft(在高处) among surrounding architectures. To achieve such effect, Beijing shall seek opinions from first-rate architects and make an overall plan. Thirdly, quality of the population should be improved. To make an international metropolis, both “hardware” and “software” are important.
    　 However, Rome was not built in a day. To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”, deeds speak louder than words.
    小题1:What does the underlined word “metropolis” in paragraph 2 mean ?
    A．suburbB．small cityC．capital cityD．town
    小题2:Which sentence is not true according to the author’s opinion in the passage?
    A．Beijing has a crowded traffic since a long time ago.
    B．Experts in architecture are also important to the city’s construction.
    C．In order to host the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing has preparations to make in many ways.
    D．Hardware” refers to quality of people in Beijing.
    小题3: How many aspects does the author mention to prepare for the Olympics in Beijing?
    A．two: basic-structure construction and people’s quality
    B．three: basic-structure construction, traffic problem and overall city planning.
    C．two: basic-structure construction and overall city planning
    D．three: basic-structure construction, overall city planning and people’s quality.
    小题4:What can be inferred from the text?
    A．Beijing is going to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
    B．To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”is a long-term work.
    C．Traffic jams will cause a lot of trouble and make people feel sick..
    D．An overall city plan is to make Beijing a city with eastern and western cultures mixed together.

     MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（边界）to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security（安全）rules.
    The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
    There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
    As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海关）station in this area is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him be had been caught on carnera crossing the border illegally（非法）.
    Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
    Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.
    小题1:We learn from the text that Richard Albert is            .
    A．an American living in Township 15B．a Canadian living in a Quebec village
    C．a Canadian working in a customs stationD．an American working in a Canadian church
    小题2:Albert was fined because he              .
    A．failed to obey traffic rulesB．broke the American security rules
    C．worked in St. Pamphile without a passD．damaged the gate of the customs office
    小题3:The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means              .
    A．a drive through the townB．a race across the fields
    C．a roundabout way of travellingD．a journey in the mountain area
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．A Cross-country TripB．A Special Border Pass
    C．An Unguarded BorderD．An Expensive Church Visit

    Living an Adventurous Life
    Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor （瘤）, and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever．I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over．I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis （多发性硬化症）, which meant that, although they were not over, the nature of my adventures could have to change．
    Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have had．Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs．I might not be able to do it this time．If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity．
    I admire the grand adventures of others．I read about them with interest．With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain．I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all seasons．David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River．I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips – 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles – ready to bear cold and tiredness, indeed not just to bear but to celebrate．
    But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read．Some days I don’t even make it to the backyard．And yet I’m unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive．
    I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller．And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have．
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s reaction after the illness?
    A．The author is drowned in anger and self-pity．
    B．The author travels to places he/she has dreamed of．
    C．The author can’t take care of himself/herself any longer．
    D．The author adapts to the condition successfully．
    小题2:Why does the author admire the people mentioned in Paragraph 3?
    A．Because they write popular novels．B．Because they are great adventurers．
    C．Because they are famous geographers．D．Because they fight with hardship in life．
    小题3:Which of the following shows the author’s strong love for adventures?
    A．The author spends almost every day looking for adventures．
    B．The author works hard to make more money for adventures．
    C．The author imagines having adventures while reading．
    D．The author expects to recover only to continue adventures．

    “Wolf！”
    Lydia Angiyou's five-year-old nephew Paulussie whispered with alarm as he touched her
    arm. At first, she didn't believe him.
    Angiyou, Paulussie, her another newphew Lueassie, also five, and her youngest son Jessie,
    seven, were walking to her mother's house one night last February. Animals were often sighted
    near lvujvik--a village of 274 Inuit on the shore of Hudson Bay--but rarely on its streets.
    The 41-year-old teacher and mother of five turned around. Looking behind her into the
    darkness, at first she thought that Jessie was the wolf. But a meter behind the boy was 350kg
    polar bern -no wolf in sight--standing on the icy road. Jessie turned and saw it, too, then ran,
    screaming, to his mother.
    Angiyou felt a rush of blood to her brain. "Get as far away as you can!" she shouted to the
    boys as she ran towards the bear. She stopped just in front of it, then faced it quiedy. It made a
    move to go around her to get to the boys, who must have seemed like the easier meal.
    But Angiyou moved with the bear to maintain her position blocking the children. Finally she
    got the animal's attention. In response, it rose on its hind legs to its full 2.5m height. The bear
    charged, and knocked her into a seated position. The skin under her nose tore. Falling onto her
    back, she screamed for help and kicked at the animal in a bicycling motion. She soon passed out.
    Sirqualuk Ainalik, a fellow teacher, had been at his brother's house nearby when Jessie
    dashed inside for help. Grabing a rifle, the 33-year-old ran to the road, firing a warning shot into
    the air. He then aimed his gun at the huge bear.
    With two more shots, Ainalik killed the polar bear.
    56. Lydia Angiyou and             children went through the adventure.
    A. two            B. three           C. four            D. five
    57. What's the right order of the following according to the passage?
    a. Angiyou passed out.
    b. The bear struck Angiyou on the nose.
    c. Angiyou went to her mother's home.
    d. A fellow teacher killed the bear.
    e. Angiyou was warned of a wolf.
    A. e c b d a        B. c e d a b          C. c e b a d          D. c e a b d
    58. The following are all right except          
    A. Lydia Angiyou was in her forties
    B. A wolf was finally killed
    C. Animals often appeared near the village
    D. Angiyou called for help while fighting
    59. The story shows that Lydia Angiyou is          
    A. strong and clever     B. skilled and careful
    C. devoted and fearless    D.cautious and brave

    阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    SINGAPOREAN singer JJ Lam，29，admitted that this March couldn’t be better：He outshined Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou and bagged four awards at the China Original Music Pop Chart Award(中国原创音乐流行榜) ceremony，including the most coveted(最渴望得到的)best male singer title．
    Yet the trophies(奖杯)were only part of an exciting month．Knowing that he has an O1ympic champion fan，Lam was so happy that he prepared his own gifts for Zhou Yang，the speed skating gold medalist：an autographed(签名的)CD and a Mickey Mouse doll．He even invited Zhou to his birthday party on March 26 after Zhou told him that it was a great pity she had had to miss Lam's Beijing concert last year．
    Lam showed his love and talent for music as early as middle school，but it doesn't mean he easily got to where he is now．Like many young men his age，Lam was once hooked(沉迷)on video games．“One in particular，World of Warcraft，obsessed(迷住)me,” he said．“I made up my own stories and characters and once I even composed(编曲)a soundtrack for the game.”
    But luckily Lam soon realized things would have to change．“There was no future in playing games and I had to think about the years ahead,” he said．
    After finishing high school，Lam joined the army. On the small island where he was stationed，he wrote dozens of songs．Still，his ambition of one day being a pop singer seemed an unrealistic dream to others．“Later，when my former officers heard my songs being played on the radio, they couldn’t believe it.” he said．
    Not that the road to success wasn't a rocky one．When Lam went to Taiwan to develop his career, he felt lonely at first．He started playing computer games again．“I indulged(沉溺) myself in games day and night," he said．“But I came to realize that I mustn’t 1et the games take over my 1ife．I had to go out，see people and meet life’s challenges head on．”
    61．JJ Lam outshone Jay Chou by___________．
    A．winning four awards at a ceremony
    B．being the gold medalist Zhou Yang’s favorite singer
    C．winning the award for best new artist
    D．writing more popular original songs

    A．His parents guided him through success．
    B．He was once obsessed with video games．
    C．He wrote a song for the game WOW．
    D．He understood that playing games would not give him a secure future．

    A．lam has a talent for different music styles
    B．lam became famous overnight
    C．playing video games helps Lam release pressure
    D．lam went through hard times before he became successful
    64．Which of the following elements has NOT contributed to Lam’s success，according to the article?

    BUKHANNON, West Virginia—Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two-mile path on Monday night to the site of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident.
    Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates（最新报道）on the rescuers’ progress.
    The miners were trapped at about 6:30 and many families weren’t informed of the accident until about 10 a.m-more than three hours after it happened. “It’s very upsetting, but you’ve got to be patient, I guess,” said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.
    The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mine’s entrance, said Roger Nicholson, general counsel from International Coal Group.
    At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4,800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.
    He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners.
    The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect (remove) the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. “We don’t want to be energizing anything if it’s in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said. The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide were detected shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided（减退）, authorities said.
    53. According to the passage, we can infer that ______.
    A. all the miners who were trapped underground were still alive
    B. communication with the trapped miners was cut off
    C. the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same time
    D. the rescue started as soon as the accident happened
    54. If the first team advanced at an average speed, they could dig about ______ per hour.
    A. 1,000 feet          B. 2,400 feet           C. 1,200 feet                D. 4,800 feet
    55. Where can the passage be seen?
    A. In a magazine.                                     B. In a newspaper.       
    C. In a science book..                            D. On an advertisement.
    56. Which of the following shows the position where the miners were trapped?
