    Soccer star David Beckham will be there with his pop star wife Victoria. Elton John is attending with partner David Furnish.
    The guest list for the April 29 union of Prince William and Kate Middleton is still being kept secret, but details have begun to leak out, with some coming forward to say they are attending and the Mail on Sunday newspaper claiming to have  the  official  invitation  roster (名单).
    The palace dismissed the newspaper's list as speculation (猜测) Sunday.
    It won't be clear until the day how the royal couple has balanced the protocol demands (王室规则) that they invite statesmen, diplomats, religious leaders, politicians and the like with invitations to the people they really want to see, particularly the crowd they made friends with when they met and fell in love at St. Andrews University in Scotland.
    Kate Reardon, editor of high-society magazine Tatler, said many prominent Britons acted as if they didn't really care about receiving an invitation while secretly checking the mail every day to see if the invitation had arrived.
    "Everyone's been hoping," she said.
    William and Middleton have showed their modern side by inviting a number of close friends, including some former sweethearts, the newspaper said.
    The wedding is not technically a state event, which somewhat limits the protocol requirements applied to the guest list. But royal obligations (职责) still order that a large number of the 1,900 or so seats go to guests from the world of politics, not actual friends of the couple.
    The couple have also invited many guests from the charities they work with, and Middleton has used her influence to invite the butcher, shopkeeper and pub owner from her home village of Bucklebury.
    President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were not invited and many other international leaders are also expected to be watching on TV, not from a seat at Westminster Abbey.
    It is not clear if treasured Brits from the world of stage and screen and pop music will be on the list.
    小题1: Who were not invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding?    
    A．David Beckham and his wife.
    B．Elton John and his partner David Furnish.
    C．People from the charities they work with.

    B．The wedding is technically a state event.
    C．Only the actual friends of the couple will be invited to the wedding.
    D．A large number of guests from the world of politics will be invited.
    小题3:The word "prominent" in paragraph 5 probably means         .  
    A．honestB．modern
    C．well known and importantD．busy and hardworking
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that         .  
    A．their wedding will be held at Westminster Abbey on April 29th.
    B．Kate Reardon was invited to the wedding.
    C．journalists will not be allowed to attend the wedding.
    D．their former sweethearts are sure to attend their wedding.
    小题5:The best title for the passage might be         .   
    A．Prince William and Middleton fall in love at St. Andrews University
    B．British royal wedding guest list details leaks out
    C．Prince William and Middleton prepares for their grand wedding
    D．British singers and movie stars invited to the wedding

    I have to say that am shocked at just how bad the new music is. This cannot be the same band that produced great albums such as HTDAAB and ATYCLB! This is awful! They either do not care anymore, or have completely lost it. I never thought U2 would become irrelevant, but they have officially become one of those bands that you will now say, “Remember when they were great?”
    ----- Posted by Ronald Harris
    February 28th, 2009 8:29 pm GMT
    Total drivel, Mr Harris. The new album is great, far better than the safe, cynical HTDAAB and ATYCLB. U2 have become inventive again, like they were in the 1990s. thank goodness!
    ----- Posted by Dan
    March 3rd, 2009 12:09 pm GMT
    Agree, Dan. The new album is the best since Actung Baby. Magnificent is an anthem in the waiting, Breathe is unbelievable, and Stand Up Comedy is absolutely outstanding----- to name just three! Loving the new sound, pure class as usual.
    ----- Posted by Martin
    March 4th, 2009 7:43 pm GMT
    Totally agree with you guys. This album is unbelievable. Breathe is definitely a great song, same with Moment of Surrender. I bet their upcoming tour will be amazing. If you haven’t bought the CD yet, you should. I bought mine on Amozon.com for $3.99. I couldn’t believe it.

    BEIJING—Seven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that they would begin using the same independent exam —besides the national one —to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in 2011.
    The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University, Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.
    Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent exam, according to the joint announcement.
    “This will help lighten tile students’ load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities,”said the announcement.
    Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities.
    China’ s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.
    In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.
    Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their own exams.
    Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students’ talents lie.
    Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams as they often apply for a number of universities.
    To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010—2020) released in July this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.
    小题1: If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.
    A．only pass the interview.
    B．only take the national exam.
    C．only take the independent exam.
    D．either take the national exam or the take the independent exam.
    小题2: What’s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?
    A．It can reduce students’load to take several exams.
    B．The universities will have the same standard to test students.
    C．There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.
    D．It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.
    小题3: If students pass the independent exam,they will ______.
    A．take the national exam.
    B．have one or more interview chances.
    C．be admitted to one of the universities.
    D．he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.
    小题4:What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?
    A．Students needn’t take the national exam.
    B．Students’education cost can be lowered.
    C．Students abilities and talents can be better found.
    D．It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.

    As the United States nears the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that killed more than 3,000 people, President Obama announced Sunday night that the al Qaeda（基地组织） leader and mastermind of that horrific day, Osama bin Laden, has been killed.
    CNN reports that a senior government official confirmed that bin Laden was shot by a small team of U.S. soldiers while in a mansion with family members outside Islamabad（伊斯兰堡）. His body is now in American custody（拘押） and is being handled according to Islamic customs. Three other adult men were killed in the firefight, including a son of bin Laden's, who was a senior member of the terrorist organization.
    "Justice has been done," the president announced, saying that the operation he ordered after receiving intelligence information is "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda."
    The immediate reactions ranged from cautious to ecstatic. Crowds cheered outside the White House. But officials said a "worldwide caution" would be set for Americans in case of al Qaeda retaliation（报复）.
    Will bin Laden's death be the justice Americans have sought for nearly a decade?
    Gordon Felt, president of Families of Flight 93, said it does bring comfort.
    "This is important news for us, and for the world. It cannot ease our pain, or bring back our loved ones. It does bring a measure of comfort that the mastermind of the September 11th tragedy and the face of global terror can no longer spread his evil," Felt said.
    President Obama says this victory does not close the book.
    "His death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain cautious," he noted.

    B．Osama bin Laden has three sons.
    C．Some soldiers were injured in the firefight.

    At 7:49 a.m. local time on Wednesday, April 14th, a huge earthquake struck Yushu County in Qinghai, China, described as “end of the earth” in a famous poem of the Tang Dynasty.
