Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC, summed up his views on the Beijing Olympics on Sunday, speaking to the media for the final time at these Games.
Rogge said the success of the Games justified the IOC’s decision to award them to Beijing.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Some recent surveys show that the health conditions of many white collar employees and office workers are rather critical. Death cases among white collar employees and office workers are increasing year by year and these cases are generally believed to have been caused by overwork and spend little time taking rest or doing exercise.
If their offices are within the distance of half an hour’s walk, some office workers now choose to go to work on foot. Ms. Deng, who works in a foreign enterprise in Beijing, has been walking to her office for more than six months now. “I usually have a tight work schedule and can’t find time to do exercise. So I choose to walk to work.” As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to keep good figures as well.
Apart from walking to office, one can also find time to do exercise when one is at work. The simplest way is to abandon the lift. Mr. Wei, who works in the Passenger Service Department at Shenzhen Airlines, is one of such men who frequently climb stairs to his office. “I only use the lift whenever I’m with my colleagues or my boss. Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift.”
In addition, some office workers try to find time to go to a gym at the end of a day. Ms. Sang works in a law firm in Shenzhen. She goes to the gym several times a week when she has the time. “I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go there whenever I have the time.” Ms. Sang and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole year. The cards cost them 3,000 yuan. However they think it’s worth it.
66. Why are death cases among white collar employees and office workers increasing year by
year?
A. Because they overwork for a long time.
B. Because they are too busy to have time for a rest.
C. Because they hardly have time to do exercise after work.
D. All of the above.
67. How many ways that office workers keep healthy are mentioned in the passage?
A. 3
B. 4
C.
5 D.6
68. Which of the following sentence can be added between Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2?
A. Then, what shall office workers do next to prevent death cases?
B. What will happen to office workers?
C. In order to keep themselves healthy, some office workers now take measures as follows:
D. Working on foot is the best way for office workers.
69. The best title of the passage is ______.
A. Health Is Very Important
B. Office Workers Try to Keep Healthy
C. How to Keep Healthy
D. Office Workers’ Trouble

The curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as John McCain and Barack Obama were formally nominated (提名) as candidates of the two major parties. This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates.
The big question for voters, as they face both an economic downturn and international threats, is: who will they elect? A young first-term senator promising change and new ideas, or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick (特立独行的人)?
American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama. He has a white mother from the US and a black father from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young. He spent part of his youth in Indonesia.
His supporters say Obama’s childhood gives him the advantage to repair the recent damage done to America’s image abroad. His opponents focus on his inexperience, noting he hasn’t finished his first term in the Senate.
However, McCain has a very different life story.
He grew up in a Navy family and was a pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia, McCain’s plane was shot down over Vietnam and he became a prisoner of war. McCain could have been released if he disowned America but he refused and so was held for five years.
So in the end, the election may hinge on (以…为转移) several factors that are hard to judge: Will Obama’s race matter to a significant number of voters? Will working-class whites who tended to support his primary opponent, Hillary Clinton, vote for Obama? And perhaps most important of all, will swing (摇摆) voters be more drawn to Obama’s vision (远景规划) or to McCain’s experience?
Whatever happens, one thing is clear: Whoever walks into the White House on January 20, 2009, will find enormous challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office, both at home and abroad.
74. _________ makes the result of the election hard to predict.
A. Whether working class whites care about Obama’s inexperience
B. The economic trouble the country now faces
C. Who swing voters will finally decide to vote for
D. McCain being too old to govern the country
75. The appeal in Obama as a presidential candidate lies in ______.
A. his multi-cultural background
B. his belief in tradition
C. his inexperience in politics
D. his fantastic promises
76. The word “disown” in Paragraph 6 means closest to ______.
A. flee from
B. turn his back on
C. not keep it private
D. expose secrets about
77. The challenges that will face the new president _______.
A. are not mentioned in the text
B. include building a strong party and a friendly image
C. refer to the problems of immigrants and economy
D. refer to the problems of economy and international relations

Dear residents of Molten,
We can’t keep silent in the current wild situation when prices for all existing products are skyrocketing unbelievably. The enormous figures on price tags（标签）for food products have caused a real panic. We’ve perfectly realized that, and that's why we have kept bread prices affordable for all this time.
At the moment all our reserves are exhausted. Stocks of bread-baking ingredients (配料) such as flour, sugar, butter and the like are running out. To buy what we need at reasonable prices is virtually impossible today.
However, we all need bread every day, which means we will be forced to buy everything we need at much higher prices.
The cost of bread closely depends on ingredients. Another financial crisis(危机) has led to a 300-percent increase of prices for butter, vegetable oil and others as of September 1. All these prices continue to grow every hour.
We have to take any possible measures which will help Figaro contain the growth of prices for its products. Despite of our SOS signal, no measures have been taken as yet. We have found ourselves in the same situation as any of you. We see the situation changing steadily for the worse. We will not cope with that alone.
Because of this, Figaro came to the critical point where it is necessary to raise prices of its products. We see one recourse (way): raise the bread price minimally（最低限度）and cancel our free plastic bag service. But what is next? This is the concern of all the 700 employees and the board of Figaro.
Every extra cent in the cost of bread upsets you and us very much. Making our sincere apologies for a forced increase of the bread price, we hope for your understanding and support. Today and tomorrow we are with you, as usual.
The staff and board of Figaro
78. Figaro is _______.
A. a farm
B. a bakery
C. a businessman
D. a government department
79. In this open letter Figaro explains to the people of Molten that _______.
A. they can no longer supply bread
B. the price of bread will be three times as high
C. they need their help in holding down prices
D. it will have to close down
80. A possible solution to the crisis, what Figaro suggests is _______.
A. to use ingredients of a lower quality and lower energy prices
B. to use shopping bags less
C. to urge people to eat less bread
D. to have the bread price raised to a certain level
81. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. bread may end up as an article that many people can no longer afford
B. the local people have responded positively to recent SOS messages from Figaro
C. bread may become less tasty in recent months
D. the government has a tradition of helping out local businesses in difficult times
E
Before the grass has thickened on the roadside and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements（人行道） are stained with chewing gum that has been spat out. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles on every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?
The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years; a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.
Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.
What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined initiative (主
动权) before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor（肮脏）, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?
82. According to the writer, things used to be_______.
A. worse abroad
B. the same abroad
C. better abroad
D. worse, but now things are better abroad
83. The underlined word “tatty” means________.
A. sacred
B. clean
C. dirty
D. ancient
84. Michael Meacher _______.
A. followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags
B. tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags
C. made no attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags
D. had problems with the plastics industry who weren’t bothered about the tax
85. Which of the following is not the writer’s opinion?
A. Rubbish last longer than it used to.
B. People like a vast rubbish tip.
C. People behave according to what they see around them.
D. We need to work together to solve the problem.
