    Jan. 7, 2008 --- French President Nicolas Sarkozy would marry his girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni on Feb. 8 or 9, media reported Monday.
    The report said that in December --- less than a month after Sarkozy met Bruni --- he gave her a heart-shaped diamond engagement ring.
    Carla Bruni, Italian singer, former model and girlfriend of France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy, holds the hand of her son Aurelien while wearing a pink heart-shaped ring during a visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008. French newspapers reported that Sarkozy would marry her early in February.
    Sarkozy and his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, divorced in October. Their marital（婚姻）problems became well known in May 2005 when she appeared in public at the side of event organizer Richard Attias.
    A marriage to Bruni, a one-time star of the catwalks who is now a singer, would be Sarkozy’s third: He divorced his first wife, Marie, in the late 80s --- after he had met and befriended Cecilia.
    Political analyst Dominique Moisi said that a Sarkozy proposal to Bruni could be part of his desire to head off any future arguments, and the speed of their visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008 would fit with his personality as a busy man in a hurry.
    “Apparently, he’s going to marry her, so the problem will be behind him,” Moisi said. “He will increase the opportunities to travel with her, and to say to the French, ‘You see, I must remarry… You need a first lady.’”
    Bruni, an Italian-born French citizen, has dated famous men including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump. She has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez.
    53. What is the correct order of Sarkozy’s marital history?
    A. Long marriage to Cecilia                             
    B. Visiting ruins with Bruni
    C. Getting divorced from Marie                        
    D. Giving Bruni a diamond ring
    E. To marry the former supermodel
    A. c-a-b-d-e           B. e-d-c-a-b           C. c-a-d-b-e           D. a-c-d-b-e
    54. What did Moisi really intend to inform the readers?
    A. The president will spend more time staying with Bruni
    B. Sarkozy is good at balancing state and personal affairs
    C. It is not easy for President Sarkozy to seek a new love
    D. It is a doubt whether the marriage would have a bright future
    55. The possible purpose of the last paragraph is to _________
    A. provide some unknown stories about Bruni’s love affairs
    B. show uncertainty about the former supermodel’s loyalty
    C. imply that past experiences have little effect on a person
    D. prove Bruni one of the most popular and attractive females
    56. Which would be the best title for the news?
    A. Bruni, France’s first lady                   
    B. A third marriage to fail
    C. France to have first lady                    
    D. President’s new girl friend

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。
    Get a reward for every bug you bring to live in new science museum exhibit.
    In a city with trillions of American cockroaches(蟑螂), the Houston Museum of Natural Science has agreed to pay a quarter per bug－up to 1,000－as it seeks to populate a new insect exhibit alongside its Cockrell Butterfly Center.
    Nancy Greig, the museum’s director insists the public payday for roaches isn’t just a marketing ploy(炒作).
    “Absolutely, this wasn’t devised as a joke,” Greig said. “We needed more roaches for the exhibit, so I sent this message out to everyone in the museum asking people to bring them in. Well, someone decided to tell the press, and all hell has broken loose.”
    “But we really do need cockroaches.”
    “One might be forgiven for never considering how to catch a live cockroach. But it’s simple enough to fool them,” Greig said, “and even easier to catch them.” American cockroaches are the most common kind in Texas, measuring up to 2 inches long and invading homes.
    Despite their less-than-attractive reputation, cockroaches actually aren’t that dirty. Greig even went so far as to call them “fastidious” saying they don’t enjoy rooting(用嘴拱食) in waste. They’re only dirty if, say, they used a sewer(下水道)line to gain access into a home.
    The roaches collected by the museum will become part of a display in a new exhibit that showcases insects such as cockroaches, dung beetles and termites.
    There’s more to like about roaches, too. They don’t bite, and they don’t carry diseases like a mosquito, so they’re generally safe to handle.
    56．For what does the museum pay for cockroaches?
    A．For a marketing ploy.                     B． It’s devised to make fun.
    C．People really need them.                   D． For a new exhibit.
    57．The underlined word “fastidious” probably means extremely ________.
    A．clean              B．dirty               C．unpleasant      D．fast      
    58．What do we know about American roaches?
    A．It’s not easy for people in Houston to collect roaches.
    B．They all measure 2 inches and are often found in homes
    C．They don’t bite and they are free of disease.
    D．We have reasons to like them.
    59．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
    A．The Houston Museum of Natural Science
    B．A new exhibit
    C．Quarters for cockroaches                       
    D．A cockroach is lovely

    (NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
    Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
    He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.
    “I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”
    Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
    When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.
    Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
    The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.

    In front of 60,000 fans, the former Olympic and world champion, Liu Xiang got his third National Games gold medal in the final of the men’s 110 meters hurdles at the Olympic Sports Center in Ji Nan, Shandong province．
    Before winning this game, Liu joined in the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix meet(上海国际田径黄金大奖赛) in September, 2009 and won the second place in men’s 110 meters hurdles with a very slight loss to his solid rival–American athlete, Terrence Trammell．That was the first time that he had shown up on the track and in public after his 13 month’s lay–off．So, this game on October 25, in 11th Chinese National Games was very critical for him to handle．After crossing the finishing line, Liu said, “The most important thing was to finish the race safely and smoothly．The result is not very good but the effort was not bad．”
    With the final result of 13.34 seconds, Liu became the first Chinese hurdler to win a National Games title three times．“I’m feeling very good now,” Liu said．“I started to compete at the National Games at the age of 18 and now I’m 26．I hope I can run at the Games again in four years’ time because, for all Chinese athletes, is a dream and it is also my starting point．I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me and all the spectators who cheered for me here．”
    It is hard for most of Liu’s fans to forget the heartbroken moment at Bird’s Nest last year at the Beijing Olympics because of the foot injury．Thirteen months later, however, the strong-minded man thrilled the home crowd with the strong comeback and would gain another take–off in his career．“I never thought of coming back when I got injured and I felt my future was in doubt,”Liu said, “But now I have seen there is still a future．”

    Berlin — Germany will allow entry 20,000 foreign high-tech workers, under a plan announced on May 31st. Chancellor(总理) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.
    The plan for this so-called ‘green cards’, not like the US work permit system, came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.
    Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100,000 marks (US$48 000).
    Family members are also allowed, though they too will receive work permits. “They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,” Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France. Germany would be making a mistake if it didn’t take part in this competition.
    He said employers have already offered 11,000 jobs through a “green card hotline” and some 4,700 applications emailed information requests.
    The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended, possibly under current German law. Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens. Since the beginning of this year, foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.
    53. From the first paragraph we can get to know that Germany______.
    A. is a less-developed country                            B. used to be a developed country
    C. is short of high-tech workers                  D. once lost interest in information technology
    54. If a high-tech worker wants to work in Germany, he or she can enter Germany______.
    A. in June      B. after July    C. before August    D. at any time
    55. It is mentioned in the passage that competition in high tech______.
    A. is only in America，Britain and France
    B. has nothing to do with small countries
    C. is weak in Asian countries
    D. will affect the future of a country
    56. To be naturalized as a German, according to this passage, seems______.

    CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smoking not only can wrinkle(起皱纹) the face and turn it yellow -- it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.
    The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body -- even skin protected from the sun.
    "We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said in a statement.
    "In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich's team added in their report.
    The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person's skin was.
    When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrich's team wrote.
    Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature（过早的）skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.
    The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels（血管）beneath the skin to constrict（紧缩）, reducing blood supply to the skin.
    Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both the skin and the internal organs.
    66. The best title for this passage would be_______.
    A. The danger of smoking        B. A survey of smokers
    C. Quit smoking for health       D. Smoking causes skin aging
    67.  how wrinkled each person's skin doesn’t relate to_______.
    A. the number of cigarettes a person smokes
    B. the kind and characteristics of skin
    C. how long a person smokes
    D. how long skin is under sunlight
    68. It can be inferred from the study _______.
    A. smoking won’t make skin protected from the sun age
    B. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organs
    C. smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skin
    D. the age of smokers is not connected with the result of the test
    69. From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because_____.
    A. it will lower blood supply to skin.
    B. it can make you feel tired
    C. it can make skin come off
    D. it can make blood run faster
    70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A. inform people about the result of the study
    B. advise people to how to protect skin
    C. warn people not to smoke again.
    D. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging
