    On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma! It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.
    Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and mostchallengingof all time.
    Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.
    Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.
    “I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.
    “We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak（峰顶）several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,” he added.
    The special torch is different from the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.
    The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.

    B．Only the five torchbearers reached the summit.
    C．Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in their native language.
    D．At least two of the five torchbearers are females.
    小题3: What does the word “leg” underlined in the last paragraph refer to?
    A．One part of a journey or race.
    B．One of the long parts that connect the feet to the rest of the body.
    C．The leg of an animal, especially the top part, cooked and eaten.

    Two years ago, the Funk family of suburban Chicago adopted a Chinese baby girl who had been abandoned on a sidewalk near a Yangzhou textile factory.
    Last year and halfway across the United States, the Ramirez family of suburban Miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot.
    Both families named their daughters Mia. It turns out, a first name and Chinese heritage aren’t the only things the three-year-olds have in common. The girls’ mothers—Holly Funk and Diana Ramirez—met on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions. After a flurry of e-mails comparing photographs and biographical details, DNA testing proved the families’ suspicions: The girls are probably fraternal (手足般的) twins.
    “I was in shock,” said Ramirez, who lives with her husband Carlos in Pembroke Pines, Florida. “Well, now this is for real.”
    The Internet and Web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin(亲属). The site that the Funks and Ramirezes used has a membership of 137 people, with 15 sets of twins and seven sets of siblings whose relationships have been confirmed.
    At a reunion on Friday at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, Mia Diamond Funk Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other, then reached for each other’s hand.
    DNA tests established an 85 percent probability that the girls are at least half sisters. Scientists did not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty, but given their ages and physical similarities, experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.
    Douglas and Holly Funk hope to take Mia to Miami in October. Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone.
    小题1:. Both the adopted girls shared a first name ________.
    A．because they both came from China
    B．because of their physical similarities
    C．because their US parents suspected they were twins
    D．for no good reason
    小题2: Why did the girls’ mothers meet on the Internet?
    A．To compare photographs of the two girls.
    B．To communicate with other people who had adopted children abroad.
    C．To test their suspicion.
    D．To exchange experiences on adopting children.
    小题3:Experts are still not 100 percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins because ________.
    A．DNA tests are still not accurate enough
    B．the two girls were born by different parents
    C．the DNA of a biological parent is still missing
    D．one girl is born a week later than the other
    小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Adopted Twins Reunited on Internet
    B．Adopted Twins Live happily in the US.
    C．Suspicion Turned into Reality
    D．The Story of Adopted Twins and Their Parents

    The wedding between Prince Wiliam and Kate Middleton on April 29 has focused the world’s camera lenses (镜头) on the UK.
    In Britain, there is a constant debate about the relevance(相关性) of the royal family to modern British society. However, Windsor (the fam­ily name of the British Royal Family) and Middleton have been seen to represent a more modern, forward-looking nation.
    Nigel Baker, the British ambassador to Bolivia, believes that the royal wedding is “about modern Britain”. “The estimated 2 billion spectators across the world will see that Britain is one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse nations in the world, home to 270 nationalities speaking 300 different languages, founded on tolerance and respect for difference,” wrote Baker on his blog.
    According to Baker, the wedding could help viewers to see “why Britain is one of the most dynamic and creative countries in the world”: The television on which most people watched the event was invented by John Logie Baird, a Briton, and the World Wide Web that broadcast the event to millions more was invented by another Briton, Tim Berners-Lee.
    The guests who attended the wedding ceremony gave more than a few clues as to the nature of modern Britain. David and Victoria Beckham represent Britain’s obsession (着迷)with football and celebrity.
    Leaders from different religious backgrounds supported Baker’s com­ments on the multicultural nature of modern British society.
    Before the wedding, David Elliott, arts director of the British Council China, agreed that the wedding would be a showcase for modern Britain: “I think, and hope, that it (modern British influence) would be values like openness, multiculturalism, creativity, sense of humor and the traditional British sense of fair play,” he said.
    Furthermore, events such as the Olympics in London in 2012 may also increase people’s sense of Britishness.
    According to a poll published in Daily Telegraph, more than a third of people in the UK admitted they felt “very British” when watching the Olympics.
    小题1:.  What is the point of the article?
    A．To introduce Prince William’s wedding arrangements in detail.
    B．To comment on the significance of the royal wedding.
    C．To question the relevance of the royal family in modern British society.
    D．To explain why the royal wedding is linked with the 2012 Olympics.
    小题2:.  What can be concluded from the article?
    A. Some say that the royal wedding is a reflection on modern Britain.
    B Some think the royal wedding shows Britain’s multiculturalism and sense of fair play.
    C.About 2 billion people across the world will see the wedding ceremony online.
    D. Britons are obsessed with football due to the influence of David Beckham.
    小题3:.  Why is the inventor of the World Wide Web mentioned?
    A. To inform readers about some well-known British inventors.
    B. To point to the importance of the World Wide Web for the wedding.
    C. In support of the idea that Britain is a nation of creative and original people.
    D. To encourage people to watch the wedding on the Internet.
    小题4:.  According to the article, both the 2012 Olympics and the royal wedding         .
    A．have increased the British sense of national identity
    B．have promoted traditional British values
    C．represent a more modern Britain
    D．have encouraged the interest of Britons in Football

    We often hear the phrase: "You've a greater chance of being struck by lightning." It is used to describe something that hasn't got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines(掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning.
    Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal(尼泊尔).
    Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 73 people die. There are more people killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.
    Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.
    So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22-28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms.
    "If you hear thunder, you are in danger of lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.
    "Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek a hiding place," Lopes said.
    Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:
    Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.
    If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building.
    Do not stand under a tree.
    Get off bicycles or motorcycles.
    Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no hiding place.
    Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.
    小题1:   The popular opinion about being struck by lightening is that ______.
    A．there’s a greater chance for being killed by lightening than any other natural disaster
    B．it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters
    C．the chance for a person to be struck by lightening is very small
    D．it is impossible for people to be killed by lightening
    小题2:The average death rate of being struck by lightening in US is about _______.
    A．18%B．50%　　　　　C．30%　　　　D．73%
    小题3:thunder in             the open air______.
    A．just stand by your bicycles and motorcycles
    B．quickly find a place to go inside
    C．count ten seconds between a thunder and a lightening
    D．don’t have a hair drier in your hand
    小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．There are more people killed by tornadoes and hurricanes than by lightening in US each year.
    B．There are on average 5 persons killed by lightening in Nepal each day.
    C．The death rate of being stuck by lightening is much higher than by other natural disasters.
    D．The National Lightening Safety Week is made to warn the public against the lightening.

    Casablanca, Sep. 24

    Reports from the area said 218 bodies had been counted, and many of the people were missing.
    The flood followed heavy rains, which filled the coastal plain and dried river beds and caused them to overflow. The flood crest, several feet high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at midmorning yesterday as farmers from the surrounding area joined town people in an open market place.
    The roaring water swept the village’s living places, the market sheds (棚子), shoppers, cattle and farm tools for miles across the plain..
