    LONDON — Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen Mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change. The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years — from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Internet, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的) and elusive(躲避的) figure.
    She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile.
    CHINA’s third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou Ⅲ, landed safely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week. The craft, which lifted off from Jiuquan in Gansu Province last Monday night, landed after successfully conducting a chain of flight and scientific experiments over a period of 162 hours.
    A powerful earthquake jolted Taiwan, killing five construction workers, authorities(官方) said. Over 200 injuries ware reported across the island, mostly minor, as a result of Sunday’s 7.5-magnitude quake. The quake was centred off Hualien, 180 kilometres east of Taipei. It struck at 2:53 pm and lasted for nearly a minute.
    1. Which of the following statements is true according to the news?
    　　A. The Queen Mother died on Easter Monday alone.
    　　B. The Queen Mother was an attractive person in her political life.
    　　C. The British people felt sorry for the death of the Queen Mother.
    　　D. The Queen Mother was suffering a lot when she was dying.
    　　2. It can be inferred that _______.
    　　A. the craft landed in central Inner Mongolia unexpectedly
    　　B. it took the craft at least 2 hours to orbit the earth once
    　　C. the Chinese scientists did a lot of experiments in space
    　　D. China was successful in sending an unmanned spacecraft into space
    3. The third news mainly talks about the _______ in Taiwan.
    A. political matters                         B. social problems
    　　C. unexpected damage                    D. construction workers

    这是 3 篇新闻报道。第 1 篇是关于英国皇太后死亡的消息；第2 篇是关于中国发射神舟三号无人飞船的消息；第 3 篇是关于台湾发生 7.5 级强烈地震的消息。
    1. C。判断题。皇太后死的时候有其女儿伊利莎白皇后在身边，排除A项；皇太后没有从政，排除B项；皇太后是在睡觉的时候死去的，D项也排除。所以答案选C。
    2. D。判断题。从第3段的几个关键词safely…successful 可知A项错误；B项内容在文中没有提及，可排除；而神舟三号为无人飞船，故不会有科学家在太空中做实验，可排除C；既然神舟三号无人飞船已安全着陆，那肯定是已成功发射了。
    3. C。主旨题。既然台湾发生了地震，那当然是没有预料到的灾害。A、B、D三项内容离题太远。

    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

    Governments and health officials around the world continued to take steps Tuesday against the outbreak of swine flu that has killed scores of people in Mexico and spread to the U.S., Europe and possibly Asia.
    By early Tuesday, the swine flu outbreak in Mexico had caused in 152 deaths and more than 1,600 illnesses. So far, at least 113 cases have been proved worldwide, including 64 in the United States; six in Canada; 11 in New Zealand and two each in Spain the United Kingdom and Israel. None has yet resulted in death.
    The World Health Organization on Monday raised its alert level from three to four on its six-level scale. The move means the U.N. agency has determined that the virus can transmit from human to human.
    "In this age of global travel, where people move around in airplanes so quickly, there is no region to which this virus could not spread," said Fukuda, assistant director-general of the WHO.
    Governments around the world struggled to prevent further outbreak. Some, like China and Russia, banned pork imports from the United States and Mexico. U.S. President Barack Obama said the outbreak was a cause for concern, not for alarm. The government urged travelers to avoid non-essential travel to Mexico.
    The latest WHO report listed only seven proved swine flu deaths in Mexico but it was not clear why there was the discrepency.
    Mexico City has closed all schools until at least May 6 to help curb(control) the spread of swine flu and ordered 35,00 public venues to close or serve only takeaway meals. In addition, bars, clubs, movie theaters, pool halls, gyms, sport centers and convention halls have been told to close until May 5. Armed police officers are also guarding hospitals in Mexico City while roads and schools in the city of 20 million people are deserted. Officials also have talked about shutting down the bus and subway systems.
    57.How many people were found catching swine flu in Spain?
    A. 2.           B. 11.      C. 6.           D. 64.
    58.When learning the outbreak of swine flu, the WHO was ____.
    A. calm     B. nervous  C. shocked  D. careful
    59. Fukuda’s words suggest that _____.
    A. he likes travel by air
    B. global travel hasn’t been affected
    C.this virus can spread quickly because of global travel
    D. planes must be forbidden to take to prevent swine flu
    60.The last paragraph mainly tells us _____.
    A. Mexico has taken measures to control swine flu
    B. Mexico City is too dangerous to live in
    C. the normal life in Mexico has been changed
    D. people in Mexico are badly in need of help

    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.

    BROOKSVILLE — It’s the time of year again, when young bears are on their own for the first time. And that means more sightings where bears usually aren’t supposed to be.
    This weekend, a 258-pound black bear took a brief tour of Brooksville, with police and firefighters chasing.
    Another black bear, weighing just 100 pounds, was spotted Saturday, crossing busy U. S. 19 near a retirement community in Spring Hill. Several other bear reports have come from Citrus County.
    "It is really difficult for the younger bears to find their own land around here, " said Niki Everitt, bear hot line director for the Gulf Coast Conservancy.
    Brooksville’s bear first was spotted late Thursday crossing State Road 50, headed toward Tom Varn Park. Police and firefighters tracked the bear through the park and the Brooksville Quarry golf course.
    The bear then wounded down the middle of Broad Street before being surrounded near Luigi’s Pizza. An official with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission came with a tranquilizer spear(加入镇静剂的矛).planning to stick the bear by hand. "The guy saw the size of the bear and figured that wasn’t a great idea, "said Capt. Frank Phillips of the Brooksville Fire Department.
    Emergency officials waited until a tranquilizer gun was brought from Land O’ Lakes. The bear then got a free ride to the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area.
    It is not unusual for bears to move into living areas this time of year, experts say. Mothers give their male baby bears the boot once the youngsters are 2 years old. With living areas growing, the young bears keep finding smaller and smaller areas in which they can set up their own land.
    "They’ re trying to find a land of their own, where they won ‘t get beat up, " said Lt. Rip Stalvey, a game commission spokesman.
    Everitt said people should not be too concerned about the recent bear sightings, since" we have never had a bear attack in Florida."
    Black bears mainly eat the tender and fresh leaves of Sabal palms, as well as acorns and berries. Recent weeks of dry weather likely have reduced their food supply.
    "If we don’t get some relief soon," Everitt said," we’re probably going to see a lot more of it."
    1. What’s the main idea of this passage?
    A. Bear sightings in living areas worry people.
    B. Policemen try hard to get the bears controlled.
    C. People take up too much land from bears.
    D. ears come out to disturb people’s lives.
    2. Which is true according to the passage?
    A. The 100-pound bear was caught near Luigi’s Pizza.
    B The Gulf Coast Conservancy makes bears homeless.
    C. Brooksville’s bear was too large to be caught by hand.
    D. Bears frequently visit humans’ living areas.
    3. Bear sightings can usually be expected ______.
    A. in the cold season                    B. in the warm season
    C. near lakes or rivers                   D. near Luigi’s Pizza
    4. The underlined phrase "give their male baby bears the boot" means______.
    A. make them wear the boots             B. find new homes for them
    C. drive them away from home            D. keep them in safe places

    Earlier this month, the United States Library of Congress named Katherine Paterson the national ambassador for young people’s literature.
    She is only the second person to hold the position. She replaces writer Jon Scieszka,who had served since two thousand eight.
    The librarian of Congress, James Billington, said Miz Paterson “represents the finest in literature for young people”. He spoke of the importance of reading in the lives of America’s young people.Miz Paterson has written more than thirty books. She is among only five writers to have won two Newbery Medals. These are among the most important children’s book awards in the United States.
    “Bridge to Terabithia” won a Newbery Medal in nineteen seventy-seven. Her book “Jacob Have I
    Loved” won the award in nineteen eighty-one.
    Katherine Paterson’s books for children are often quite complex. “Bridge to Terabithia” includes
    adult themes like depression and death. The book has caused debate because of its place on school
    library bookshelves. Some parents think it is too adult for young children. Miz Paterson says the idea
    for the book came from a real life experience. Her son’s best friend died in nineteen seventy-four
    when she was struck by lightening.
    Katherine Paterson is seventy-seven. She began writing as a young mother with three children. But
    she says her interest in writing came as a surprise. As a child she had thought about becoming a
    Christian religious worker in foreign countries like her parents were.
    Katherine Paterson spoke to a gathering of children when she was named ambassador on January
    fifth in Washington. She said: “Read for your life. Read for your life as a member of a family, as a part
    of a community, as a citizen of this country and a citizen of the world.
    1. The Newbery medal is designed for ______.
    A. writers with best books for grown-ups      B. children with best books on adult themes
    C. writers with best books for children        D. children with best books on nature
    2. Which of the following is NOT true about the book Bridge to Terabithia?
    A. Its topics include depression and death.     B. It won a Newbery Medal in the 1980s.
    C. Some people think it’s for adults only.      D. The idea for it came directly from real life.
    3. As a child, Katherine_______.
    A. had bad relations with her parents       B. showed great interest in writing books
    C. hoped to take part in religious activities     D. began writing books with serious themes
    4. The national ambassador for young people’s literature as a position started in_____.
    A. 1977           B. 1981            C. 2008         D. 2009

    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    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．
    63．The last paragraph tells us that___________ 
    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?
    A．His passion for music．     B．His song-writing talent．
    C．Support from fans．        D．The skills he learned in the army．

    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?
