     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
     
    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:C
    小题4:D

    小题1:这是一道细节题。第二段“Like the other half?dozen people of Township 15，crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.”告诉我们Richard Albert是一位住在Township 15的美国人。
    小题2:这是一道细节题。根据第四段“Two days later，Albert was told to go to the customs office，where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.”可判断出Albert受罚的原因是他违反了美国安全条例。
    小题3:这是一道猜测词义题。根据这段的内容可判断出由于美国停止了Ottawa使用的方法，使得人们不得不迂回200英里通过山回家。
    小题4:这是一道主旨题。这篇短文讲述了一位美国人为了去教堂而违反了美国安全法，而被罚款$10 000美元。所以An Expensive Church Visit是最佳题目。

    The snow has paralysed(使瘫痪) transport in China during the country’s most important vacation period, the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Not only have transport delays hindered personal trips, but they have also slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets. Consequently, in Zhengzhou, the capital city of the Henan province, tomato prices have doubled, and the cost of 47 other vegetables has increased by 36%, as reported by local media at the end of January.
    According to an inside PR source, “wholesalers in Beijing were quoted as saying that only about 20% of the usual fresh vegetable supplies were reaching the city.” As an Asian country with a diet based on fresh produce, the shortage of vegetables and the rise in prices is not only affecting fresh food producers, but also the final consumers.
    In terms of production, this is the worst snow disaster to hit China in the last 50 years, affecting a total of 9.4 million hectares of farmland in the country, according to a report published on 4 February 2008 by Feng Tao of Xinhua News, at the Chinese government website. Most of the crops devastated（毁坏）by the frost are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the traditional natural border between North and South China.
    Chen Xiwen, Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Rural Work, pointed out at the end of last week that “the blizzard disaster in the south has had a severe impact on winter crops, and the impact on fresh vegetables could be catastrophic in certain areas”, as stated in the Xinhua News report.
    The Chinese government has been quick to take extreme measures. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas most seriously affected by the harsh weather. The aim of this initiative is to provide farmers with technical assistance to minimize their losses.
    小题1:From this passage, we can know that the snow happened _____.
    A．During the Spring Festival
    B．In the coldest days of the winter
    C．In the North of China.
    D．It’s not mentioned here.
    小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph four?
    A．worstB．snowstormC．cold weatherD．biggest
    小题3:This passage mainly tells us _____ .
    A．The snow in the south of China caused many problems.
    B．The effect of the snow in the south of China on the fresh food
    C．The snow in the south of China slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets.
    D．The Chinese government has taken extreme measures to help the suffered farmers.
    小题4:The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas to _____ .
    A. help the farmers plant crops          B. give money to the farmers
    C. give directions to the farmers with their technic（技术；技巧）.
    D. deliver crops for the farmers.

    A teddy bear from Cumbria is launching into space to raise cash for charity(慈善).
    Terence, an experienced traveller who has been to Iraq, will be the guest of honour on aviation(航行) legend Burt Rutan’s Spaceship One when it flies above Earth. The mission takes off from California on September 29, and on his return the cuddly toy will be auctioned off(拍卖) in aid of the North Air Ambulance Appeal(北部空中救护服务中心).
    Spaceship One is the world’s first private spacecraft, and is competing for a prestigious space travel prize. Chief executive of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), Graham Pickering, said “flying officer” Terence had been handed over to the RAF six months ago and staff had been receiving postcards from him ever since.
    He said, “Terence was a fundraising idea that really took off. We have received pictures of him in a U2 craft, trying parachuting and even looking drunk and disorderly. When the RAF finally discharge him he will be a very rare bear indeed—we just hope he does not burn up on re-entry to Earth.”
    GNAAS, which needs charitable donations of more than ￡2m a year, has three air ambulances(空中救护机).
    Peter Bond, spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society, said Terence’s safety was not guaranteed. He said, “This is a new and experimental craft and this will only be the second time it has flown. During its first voyage it developed technical problems but hopefully they have now been resolved.”
    Since May, Terence has spent time with members of 100 Squadron(空军中队) based at RAF Leeming in Basra, Iraq, and at air shows with performing fighter planes.
    Spaceship One will fly 100km (62 miles) above the Earth’s surface, just breaking through the planet’s atmosphere.
    If it repeats the feat(技艺) inside two weeks, it will claim the $10m Ansari X-Prize set up to encourage the private space flight business.
    小题1:Terence is ________.
    A．a real bear living in EnglandB．an experienced astronaut
    C．an air force officerD．a toy bear
    小题2:We can infer that________.
    A．after this space flight, Spaceship One will get the $10m Ansari X-Prize
    B．it is dangerous for a spaceship to re-enter the earth atmosphere
    C．Terence will be very safe on the flight
    D．Spaceship One is just an ordinary plane
    小题3:Which of the following is true of Spaceship One?
    A．Spaceship One is the world’s first spacecraft.
    B．The purpose of its flight is to collect money for the charity.
    C．The purpose of its flight is to compete for a prestigious space travel prize.
    D．Spaceship One has never flown.
    小题4:Which of the following is the best title?
    A．Teddy bear astronaut to lift off B．Spaceship One to lift off
    C．Space flightD．The toy bear will be auctioned off

    BEIJING, Oct. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- A recent sudden temperature drop in most areas of China has set off fears of a possible return of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the country has mobilized to prepare for another outbreak.  
    North China's Tianjin Port resumed a temperature reporting system on Sunday. Any passengers through the port with a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius would be provided medical observation and reported to relevant authorities. 
    Zhong Nanshan, a well-known anti-SARS scientist during the last outbreak, said it was unlikely the SARS virus would die out naturally and it would definitely come back, but predicted no widespread epidemic outbreak and the epidemic would not cause serious damage again.
    Caught unprepared this spring, Chinese authorities have learned to act quickly before the epidemic can take a hold.
    Chinese Vice-Premier Wu Yi Thursday urged strictly implementing the daily SARS epidemic reporting system and warned that people delaying reporting or hiding the true situation would be severely punished.
    In Beijing, the disease control center in Dongcheng District has recovered a 24 hour schedule for possible epidemic breakout. Every afternoon before 3:00 o'clock, the center receives SARS reports from every hospital in the district and then reports to the Beijing municipal disease control center and health bureau.
    In Beijing Xiehe Hospital, plans are ready for fever patients to receive treatment in a special section. Doctors in that ward, wearing protective clothing, will observe patients for any possible respiratory diseases. Patients with high fever and symptoms of respiratory diseases are required to be observed for one or two weeks.
    North China's Shanxi Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the two other hardest-hit areas in the last SARS crisis, have both set up an emergency response mechanism and mobilized all concerned departments. The system has also been set up in rural Inner Mongolia.
    People are urged to pick up again the healthy habits they formed during the last SARS outbreak. Zhong Nanshan said the most important way to prevent SARS was to play more sports and maintain good ventilation. Spitting in public and eating wild animals were very dangerous, said Zhong.  
    小题1:This passage is mainly about_______.
    A．Zhong Nanshan, a well-known anti-SARS scientist
    B．What happened during the first outbreak of SARS
    C．How well China is prepared for another likely outbreak of SARS
    D．What hospitals in Beijing have done
    小题2:Which isn’t included in the measures taken by the Chinese?
    A．A temperature reporting system.B．The daily SARS epidemic reporting system.
    C．A 24-hour schedule for possible epidemic breakout.
    D．An emergency response mechanism all over the country.
    小题3:Which doesn’t belong to Beijing’s reaction to the possible epidemic?
    A．SARS reports must be given to the disease control center and health bureau.
    B．Fever patients receiving special sections are ready.
    C．High fever patients are to be observed for 3 weeks.
    D．Doctors treating high fever patients will wear protection clothes.

    BRISBANE—Australian Olympic chief John Coates has said Greek athlete Katerina Thanou should not be awarded the Sydney Olympics 100 metres gold medal handed back by Marion Jones.
    Jones, who this week admitted to steroid（类固醇）use in the build up to the Sydney Games, has returned the three gold medals and two bronzes she won in 2000.
    But Thanou, the silver medalist in Sydney, was herself banned for two years after she failed to appear for a drug test at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
    “I’d like to think that Katerina Thanou would not be awarded the gold medal,” Coates told the Australian Associated Press on Tuesday, “but there may be some legal difficulties for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to overcome in order to reach that conclusion.”
    Jamaica’s Tayna Lawrence won the 100m bronze medal in Sydney behind Jones and Thanou.
    Coates also said he expected the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to hand back the medals won by the women's 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams.
    Two of Jones’s team mates in the 4x100m team which finished third in Sydney, Torri Edwards and Chryste Gaines, have also served doping（兴奋剂）bans.
    The U.S. women’s 4x100m relay team won the gold medal ahead of Jamaica and Russia.
    “On the relays, it’s my expectation that the United States Olympic Committee will be required to also hand back the medals won by the other ladies who competed with Jones in the two relays,” Coates said.
    “That is normal practice.”
    The United States Olympic Committee (USCO) has publicly apologized to the organizers and competitors of the 2000 Sydney Games and the Australian public for Jones’s actions.
    As part of the USOC’s apology, president Peter Ueberroth promised that the U.S. would send a clean team to next year’s Beijing Olympics.
    1. What is the best title of the passage?
    A. Jones has returned the Sydney medals
    B. Thanou should not receive Sydney gold
    C. Steroid use at Sydney Olympics
    D. The U.S would send a clean team to Beijing Olympics.
    2. Thanou should not get the Sydney gold medal because________.
    A. she didn’t pass the drug test.
    B. she served doping ban at Sydney Olympics.
    C. she didn’t take the drug test at Sydney Olympics.
    D. she ran second at Sydney Olympics.
    3. Which of the following statements is True?
    A. Jones has got five gold medals at Sydney Olympics.
    B. The USCO has returned medals in the two relays.
    C. Thanou should receive Sydney gold medal.
    D. Jones also took part in the women’s 4x100m relay race.
    4. Why did Coates expect the USOC to hand back the medals won in the relay races?
    A. Because the IOC required them to do so.
    B. Because they didn’t take the first place in the relay races.
    C. Because some of the runners of the U.S served doping bans.
    D. Because they felt sorry for Jones’s actions.
    5. What would probably happen next according to the passage?
    A. Thanou would receive Sydney gold.
    B. Jamaica’s Tayna Lawrence would receive Sydney gold.
    C. Thanou wouldn’t be allowed to take part in the Beijing Olympics.
    D. Fewer or no American athletes will serve doping drugs in Beijing Olympics.

    Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way -- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
    Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.
    The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.
    As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.
    小题1:The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.
    A．fitting rooms
    B．trading fairs
    C．business talks
    D．group meetings
    小题2:Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.
    A．what caused the shipping accident
    B．when and where the shoes went missing
    C．whether it was all right to use their shoes
    D．how much they lost in the shipping accident
    小题3:How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
    A．By collecting information from beachcombers.
    B．By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.
    C．By searching the web for ocean currents models.
    D．By researching ocean currents data in the library.
    小题4:Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ___________________.
    A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
    B．making records for any lost objects on the sea
    C．running a global currents research association
    D．phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea
    小题5:What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
    A．To call people's attention to ocean pollution.
    B．To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.
    C．To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.
    D．To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.

    Only eight years after skater Yang Yang （A） won the  country's first Winter gold at Salt Lake City, a sweep of the women' s short track speed skating and a first figure skating  title helped China to joint seventh place in the medals table．
    "Cold Standard" read the banner headline on the front  page China Daily, while the People' s Daily led its sports page with "Vancouver historical breakthrough " ．
    "We have made an important breakthrough at these Games" Xiao Tian, deputy chef de mission of China' s largest ever Winter Games delegation, told the Xinhua news agency．
    " Actually the five - gold finish was within my expectation before we set off for the Games,but I couldn't say that at that time because I would not want to put any pressure on the ath- letes．Now I can speak out．"
