准备阶段1.Exercise 1: Direction: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false, write T for true, F for false.老师意见:Michael Phelps Eyes Unprecedented 8 Olympic Gold MedalsMany say Michael Phelps’ quest is a missi on impossible. But no other swimmer is coming into the Beijing Olympics with the conditioning and records that Phelps possesses.Phelps secured his eight-race Olympic schedule by winning the 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. swimming trials in Omaha, Nebraska. To surpass Mark Spitz, Phelps says he has to overcome just one competitor in Beijing-himself.“You never know what can happen,” said Phelps. “The only person I can worry about is myself. And, if I can prepare myself the best way that I can, then that is really all I can ask. If I go in there and I do a best time and still get beat, that is all I can ask for. So, you know, I am trying to prepare myself the best way I can. And just go out there and swim fast.”When he was 15, Phelps got his first taste of international competition at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where he became the youngest U.S. male Olympian swimmer since 1932.In 2001, Michael Phelps began his assault on the record books, becoming the youngest swimmer to break a world record in winning the 200-meter butterfly in 1 minute 54.92 seconds (1:54.92) at the national championships. Four months later in Japan, he lowered the mark at the World Championships by 34-100ths of one second (1:54.58). Phelps was named the 2001 USA Swimmer of the Year.The two-time Olympian became the first athlete ever to win eight medals total at a non-boycotted Olympic Games, collecting six gold and two silvers in 2004 in Athens. Phelps set four individual world records and won seven gold medals at the 2007 World Championships to become the winningest athlete in World Championship history.Phelps says his success and experience has prepared him well for Beijing.“Right now, I am more relaxed than I was in 2004 going into the Olympics. You know, after going through everything I had been through in the last four years, it helped me prepare a little bit better for these games coming up and really understand what is gonna happen. You know, before Athens, I was a deer in the headlights, and did not really know what to expect.”Phelps has set his best times in all of his events since March 2007. At the recent U.S. swimming trials, he lowered the world record in the 400-meter individual medley to 4 minutes 5.25 seconds. His fans expect to see more records, and Michael Phelps has no doubt that he can improve on all of his results.“I do not think anything is too high. The only way for you to limit yourself is if you put a limit on yourself. The sky is the limit, and the more you use your imagination, the farther you will go. I think anything is possible. I set very high goals for myself. And I work as hard as I can to get there.”The talented Phelps began swimming at the age of seven. Four years later, he started training under his current coach Bob Bowman at his Baltimore, Maryland Swi m Club. Bowman has watched and guided Phelps’ steady improvement over the years. He says the past four years have been especially impressive.“Probably the two areas where Michael has improved the most are, number one, his physical strength. And that is a result of a much more intense strength-training program since Athens. And the other area where he really has improved the most is his breaststroke. It has gone from being a stroke that was quite weak in Athens to being a strength of his.”Michael Phelps will be one of the busiest athletes in Beijing, as he is scheduled to swim six individual events and possibly three relays in nine days. Including heats, semifinals and finals, he could swim as many as 20 races. At the end, Phelps could be standing as the most decorated athlete in Olympic history.题目：1.2008 Beijing Olympic is Phelp’s first time for swimming in Olympic Games.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：2.It is a mission impossible for Michael Phelps to win the championship.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：3.According to his Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps has achieved great progress in mainly two areas, physical strength and breaststroke.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:2.Exercise 2: Direction: Listen to the passage, and fill in the blanks with the missing information.老师意见:1.

Honestly, no one respects no one. You can be the number-one team. No one’s going to respect that.”Arenas is a local hero in Washington D.C., where he has helped turn the Washington Wizards into a playoff-caliber team, but he has not been considered among the elite players in professional basketball. Until this year, when he hasbeen arguably the hottest player in the NBA, leading the Wizards to one of the best records in the Eastern Conference. This season the 25-year-old Arenas seems to be scoring at will. He has so far made 11 last-second “buzzer beater” shots, scored a career-high 60 points in one game, and was named the Conference Player of the Month for December. Why is he suddenly so hot?“I think winning. You know, we’re winning. You know, that December we had was a great December... for me and for the team. Last year I didn’t really hit the stride until after All-Star break. So you know, I think early winning successes have boosted me.”Wizards coach Eddie Jordan says, while winning may draw more media attention to Arenas, he is no different than in the past. “Gilbert is, you know, he is the same to me. He’s just scoring more, that’s all. He’s always been this way. He’s always been competitive. He’s always taken the bull by the horns and been aggressive.”Until now, superstars such as Cleveland’s Lebron James, Miami’s Dwyane Wade and Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant have overshadowed Arenas, who was the 31st player selected in the 2001 NBA draft.Washington Times sports columnist Tom Knott says the experts did not expect Arenas to reach basketball’s top echelon. “Arenas, for whatever reason, is one of those guys throughout his career who has been overlooked. I mean, he was a second-round pick. He wasn’t highly recruited out of high school. You know, he came in the NBA, you know, played some his rookie season, you know, he is just an odd character, off-beat characters.”Arenas have a quirky or eccentric reputation both on and off the court. His home has special air-conditioning equipment that thins the air to simulate a high-altitude environment, and he throws his jersey into the stands at the end of every game. As a free agent he even flipped a coin to choose which NBA team he would play for. That’s how he ended up in Washington.Teammate Antawn Jamison says Arenas is also known for training harder and longer than anyone else. “I recall his rookie year he was in the gym two or three o’clock in the morning, w orking on his game. And still, to this day, he is the first one in and the last one to leave. So that’s the major reason why he’s at this point in his career. And he’s one of the best in the league, also.”Tom Knott agrees that Arenas’ work ethic is the re ason for his success.“It’s a cliché in sports: guy works hard”, says Knott, “And half the time it is just bogus. They’re not really working that hard. They’re not probably working as hard as you and me. You know, they’re going to practice for 2 hours a nd... They got 22 hours to kill. That’s not hard working. But this Arenas guy, no, he’s a maniac. He does work hard.”For Gilbert Arenas all the hard work is paying off. “It’s satisfying to me that, you know, I was a second-round pick. No one believed in m e. Now, you know, you carry a team on your back to how far you can carry them. You know, right now we’re where we’re at.”Right now Gilbert Arenas is at the top of his game.

For those few unscrupulous competitors it is a question of victory at all costs.There have been cheats at the Olympics since the earliest days of the modern games. In 1904 the runner Fred Lorz won the marathon but was disqualified when it transpired his manager had driven him half the race in a car.Other cheats have turned out to have hidden qualities that helped them succeed. In Berlin 1936, Dora Ratjen came fourth in the women’s high jump event. Nothing unusual about that you might say, but Dora was really Hermann and “she” was actually a man!The same ruse was used by a number of gender-bending athletes untilcompulsory sex-testing was introduced in 1964, although such tests have now been abandoned as undignified and humiliating.In more recent years cheating athletes and their trainers have resorted to doping to improve sporting performance, and have provoked a crisis in sport with some of the biggest names in sport being disqualified, stripped of their medals, and even jailed for using illegal chemical substances such as steroids. The 2004 Athens Olympics saw more than 20 athletes disqualified from the games after testing positive for banned substances.Will we see even more scandals in Beijing 2008? It seems inevitable since a number of athletes have already been banned or withdrawn from the games before they even began.But some sports figures have called for even harder measures to be taken against drug cheats. Ten-time Olympic medal winner Carl Lewis has called for doping to become a crime throughout the world. “I would change the law. If you test positive, why can’t it be illegal?”题目：1.According to the old England adage, for individual sportsman and woman, what should matter the most in the Olympics?文本：A) the highest reward from the competitionB) the full performance in the competitionC) the sounding environment of the competitionD) the fairness and justice of the competition你的答案:正确答案:B得分:老师意见:题目：2.Why was Fred Lorz disqualified of the championship in 1904 Olympics?文本：A) Because he took illegal drugs in order to improve sporting performance.B) Because his manager gave him a ride half the race.C) Because he quit during the race.D) Because his car bumped into the side of the road.你的答案:正确答案:B得分:老师意见:题目：3.According to the passage, what kinds of measures have NOT been taken to prevent cheating in Olympic Games?文本：A) being disqualifiedB) being stripped of their medalsC) being barred from taking part in Olympics againD) being put behind the bars你的答案:正确答案:C得分:老师意见:2.Exercise 2: Listen to Passage Two and answer each question by giving the best choice.老师意见:Cricket without BoundariesTHE HOST: “Cricket without Boundaries”, is a UK based charity, set up by three cricket university friends to help communities across the world affected by conflict and HIV/AIDS. Simon Hards is also a part of the project and he’s been telling the BBC’s Richard Fleming how it works.Simon Hards: The idea of “Cricket without Boundaries” is really to try and u secricket as a tool to bring communities together. And so that’s all about going into communities that might not necessarily have seen cricket before, and using cricket and delivering cricket as a sport to really bring those various people from the community together. In October 2005, the three of them basically began a trip from Cairo to Cape Town going through a variety of different countries delivering this program “Cricket without Boundaries”. So they spent about I think 7 months going down through the country affecting somewhere 3000 children on the way. Richard Fleming: And what is your role? You are going out to Kenya later in the year, have you got any idea at this stage what is going to be required from you? Is it a case of coaching? Is it a case of taking goods and material out there? What are you gonna be doing?Simon Hards: The program over the time in November is a three-week program. And what happens is you spend a week at each different location and start off the week by actually delivering coach education course to some adults in that area so they become qualified coaches under an ICC qualification. Then throughout the week we support those coaches and delivering coach within schools and within the locality and then finish up with a festival at the end of it. Then before we leave, we leave amount of equipment there, so the idea is that it’s sustainable. So, we don’t just go, do some cricket coach and leave. We go in and provide them with some skills to actually to coach cricket, the adults. And then leave some equipment so they can deliver cricket once we’ve gone.Richard Fleming: And there are some big names that have endorsed it: Andrew Flintoff and former Monty Python star, Michael Palin who he himself is no stranger to traveling certainly a round Africa. It’s still in its infancy though, “Cricket without Boundaries”, I suppose you guys think you can make a difference, using cricket as a tool.Simon Hards: Yeah, definitely, I think from the first project they did in Cairo and Cape Town it’s sh own that they can make a difference and they did make a difference. And what’s going to happen in November and onwards is really just a sort of an extension of what they’ve already done. They’ve really realized that it works, so they are looking to build on that and really have an impact in Africa.题目：1.What kind of organization is “Cricket without Boundaries”?文本：。

Asian markets downIn Asia, Japan’s market was closed Monday for a national holiday but elsewhere, there was not much to be optimistic about.Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was down for a fifth straight day, dropping nearly three percent. The South Korean market lost two percent, dragged down by an announcement by carmaker Hyundai that it would cut production by at least 25 percent at its domestic plants.Here in Europe, similar worries kept most shares on the downside with large energy stocks taking the biggest hits ascrude oil fell below the $40-a-barrel mark.US unemployment rate also troublesomeMeanwhile, rising unemployment in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world is forcing some governments to act now. Here in Britain, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has pledged to spend at least $750 million to try to stem growing unemployment caused by the worldfinancial crisis.“I t is our determination that Britain can lead the world in showing what we can do to help those who become unemployed and what we can also do to create the jobs of the future. And I believe we can do it working in partnership.

In a January 10 radio address, Mr. Obama said his plan to inject billions of dollars into the economy will create from three to four million newjobs over two years."90 percent of these jobs will be created in the private sector. The remaining 10 percent are mainly public sector jobs we save, like the teachers, police officers, firefighters and others who provide vital services to our communities," he said.The Obama stimulus plan will be a combination of government spending and tax cuts, proposals that will soon be debated in congress. A year ago the Bush administration and Congress implemented a much smaller $168 billion stimulus that did boost economic growth for a short time, before the economy resumed the slide that began in December 2007. That first stimulus plan, combined with big spending on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has pushed the government budget into deep deficit. Even before the planned Obama stimulus, the U.S. government was projected to be incurring a $1.2 trillion-dollar deficit in the current fiscal year. That is an amount equal to eight percent of economic output. Kevin Hasset, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, believes government spending is out of control."The deficit next year, if we pass the Obama stimulus plan, will be larger than the size of government when Bush was elected, in nominal dollar terms," he said.Martin Baily, chief economist to former President Bill Clinton, worries whether foreigners will continue to buy the Treasury debt needed to fund the rapidly growing government deficit."I think that is a danger. I said at the beginning of my comments that it is quite uncertain where the economy is going. It is possible that it will turn around more quickly and strongly than, say, the current [Bush] administration's economic advisors think it will. In which case, the Fed [central bank] will be, you know, as scrambling like crazy. There's a sort of rein back in some of thismoney that it has put out there," said Baily.At a conference about the stimulus plan on Monday, speakers including Hassett and Baily, expressed concern about the eventual inflationary impact of both greatly increased government spending and rapid increases in the money supply. Most economists, however, agree that the unprecedented severity of the credit squeeze and global slowdown requires extraordinary measures to maintain consumer purchasing power.题目：1.According to Obama' plan, 90 percent of these jobs will be created in the private sector.

Passage TranslationSection A: English to ChineseThree passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what at last Ihave found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine...A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.【参考译文】三种简单却极其强烈的情感主宰着我的生活：对爱的渴望、对知识的追求、对人类痛苦的难以承受的怜悯之心。

There are currently 14 ships and 268 crew beingheld in pirate-friendly Somali ports.Given that senior UN officials estimate that the pirates earnmore than $100m (683m Yuan) a year from ransom payments made byship owners, many ask why more military interventions don't takeplace.NATO warships are in the area but US Navy officials have told the BBC they can "not be everywhere". That said, an Indian Navyfrigate attacked and sank a Somali pirate ‘mother ship' onWednesday morning after coming under fire.Most hijackings, however, do end peacefully although it can be a lengthy process.

It had risen 2.96 percent to a five-month high on Monday, bringing its gains this year to 31 percent.Turnover in Shanghai A shares remained very heavy at 168.8 billion yuan, though it was down from 177.5 billion yuan on Monday, when full-day turnover neared levels last seen during the stock market bubble of 2007.Data last week showed new yuan lending soared to a record 1.62 trillion yuan in January. The news accelerated the stock market’s uptrend by fuelling hopes that economic growth might soon start to recover.But 39 percent of the new loans were in the form of short-term discounted bill financing, up from an average 13 percent in 2008. Some analysts believe much of the money raised via bill financing went to chase short-term profits in the stock market, rather than into long-term investment in companies' operations as authorities hope.The banking regulator is investigating the jump in discounted bill financing, fearing it could create excessive risks, China Business News reported on Monday.Vanke, China's biggest listed property developer, tumbled 5.05 percent to 8.08 yuan amid concern that authorities could become less willing to cut interest rates further if they felt that the discounted bill and stock markets were overheating.Hong Kong shares slid 3.8 percent yesterday, its biggest percentage drop in more than five weeks, after the Shanghai bourse broke its long-running rally.Worries about slowing corporate earnings and likely capital raising weighed on shares across the board, with four stocks in the red for every one in the black.The benchmark Hang Seng Index ended 510.48 points lower at 12945.40 with investors fretting over a likely weak start on Wall Street later.你的答案:fell正确答案:fell得分:12.50题目：2.文本：你的答案:2319.441正确答案:2319.441得分:12.50题目：3.文本：你的答案:soared正确答案:soared得分:12.50题目：4.文本：你的答案:regulator正确答案:regulator得分:12.50题目：5.文本：你的答案:discounted正确答案:discounted得分:12.502.Passage Two Blank Filling: Listen to the passage, and fill in the blanks with the missing information.题目：1.Not on ________ payment, a whole house for a grand.文本：How about a House for a Thousand Bucks?How about a house for a thousand bucks? Not on monthly payment, a whole house for a grand. It may sound unbelievable,but it's happening in some cities due to the explosion in foreclosures. Now they may not be pretty or in the best part of town, but some sellers just want them off their books.Take this one in Detroit, a three-bed, one-bath bungalow with about a thousand square feet, of course, it needs a total renovation inside but the exterior, well, it's in fairly good shape, the price tag, that looks even better, it's just 500 bucks. Or this home in Cleveland, a four-bed, one-and-a half bath selling for 1900 bucks. For the same amount you could get this house in Birmingham, Alabama. It's had major fire damage but it's located on a public road and sits on about a third of an acre.To be sure, you will have to put more than a thousand bucks into these homes to bring them up to code. But four walls and a roof for about a grand, that may make a lot of sense to folks these days.

准备阶段1.Exercise 1: Listen to this passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false, write T for true and F for false.老师意见:EU Opens Online LibraryCall it the 21st century version of the famous Alexandria library that served as a hub of knowledge in ancient times. Europe is offering a similar trove of information via the Internet - allowing users to access tens of thousands of paintings, books, manuscripts, sound recordings, newspapers and other items from across the European Union. European Commission spokesman Martyn Selmayr says the Europeana digital library is planning to expand enormously in the years to come.“Today is just the beginning,” he said. “We have two million objects today on Europeana - cultural objects which exist in digital form. Our objective is to have by the year 2010, 10 million digitized objects available from all over Europe and they will be offered in 23 languages so everybody around the world has access to these cultural heritages of the European Union member states.That includes digitalized representations of masterpieces from the Louvre museum in Paris or manuscripts of composers like Beethoven - or books from libraries around Europe - although only a small fraction of the region’s 2.5 billion books wil l be available online in the coming years.The project is one way to showcase the European Union - this time through its cultural heritage.“On the one side it shows that Europe is made up not of a single unified culture but that it has 27 nations and each one of them has a very long history,” said Selmayr. “It also shows what we have in common and gives the perspective of the neighbors.”“For example, that’s very interesting to see that the fall of the Berlin Wall - very important for German history and also for European history - is something you can find on Europeana in the form of a film that is today stored in the French national audiovisual institute. So Germans, Hungarians, British citizens and also Americans can see this big event, but through the eyes of French citizens,” he continued.Those who want to check out the new European library can click onhttp://dev.europeana.eu/.题目：1.The Europeana digital library allows users to access tens of thousands of paintings, books, manuscripts, sound recordings, newspapers and other items from across the European Union.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:题目：2.The Europeana digital library is planning to expand enormously in the years to come.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:题目：3.By the year 2010, Europeana’s objective is to have two million objects available from all over Europe.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：4.Europe is made up of 37 member nations and each one of them has a very long history.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:题目：5.The fall of the Berlin Wall is very important for German history but not for European history.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:2.Exercise 2: Listen to the passage and answer each question by giving the best choice.老师意见:EU Opens Online LibraryCall it the 21st century version of the famous Alexandria library that served as a hub of knowledge in ancient times.

So it really got into me.

Three radio stations in Kenya now offer regular classical music programming.Elizabeth Njoroge studied classical music abroad. Back home the soprano not only performs, this year she also founded the magazine Classics, for Kenya’s classical musical lovers.“In Kenya as a whole I think there has been a rebirth of the arts, and not just music”. “There are also a lot more plays happening, more art exhibitions.”Njoroge says the country’s growing middle class now has more money, time and other resources to appreciate and pursue the arts.Kenya has a rich heritage of traditional music, with the country’s many ethnic cultures having distinctive instruments and beats.Music teacher Lola Akwabi says she thinks the presence of western classical music in Kenya does not detract from the country’s homegrown music, that there is room for both.“It is very interesting that someone will actually walk in here and tell me, you know why are you doing this Western culture, why aren’t you doing your African culture? And I am thinking, you should be dressed in a skin, speaking Swahili asking me that question,” Akwabi said.Any debate over Kenya’s native music is far from student Jonathan Wamukota’s mind.

But its roots run much deeper.Made from the seed of the tropical cacao tree, chocolate dates back at least 3,000 years to the ancient civilizations of Central and South America, where the cacao tree is native. The Aztec people valued the tree’s cocoa beans so much, they used them as currency.In what is now Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, in the southwestern United States, new archaeological evidence shows that people were eating chocolate here more than 1,000 years ago.And they’re still at it. Today, the average American eats almost 5 kilograms of chocolate each year.Cheri Friedman knows how much America loves chocolate. She is co-owner of Kron Chocolatiers, a small, gourmet chocolate shop that opened 32 years ago in Washington, D.C.“I think it’s one of the best comfort foods there is. It’s easy to eat.

One of the main ingredients in chocolate is cocoa butter. And cocoa butter melts at body temperature,” So when you put chocolate inyour mouth, it has a mouth feel that’s unlike any other food that you eat. It has thatmelt-in-your mouth sensation right there on your tongue, and it is very hard to approximate that with any other food.”But that melt-in-your-mouth sensation comes at a price. Chocolate as we know it today is made with lots of sugar and milk, both very high in calories. That’s given chocolate a rather bad reputation among nutritionists.In recent years, however, research has proved that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, is also naturally rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants - a fact that chocolate manufacturers like Russell Stover are happily promoting.“Anything that creates such emotional bonds as chocolate- and also actually can be good for you - is just another reason to enjoy chocolate throughout your day.Kron’s Cheri Friedman has noticed the trend. “In the last two years, partly due to media putting it out there that dark chocolate have definitely picked up.”But Friedman has also noticed something else. “And also the educated some, they are coming in a lot more and really being sele ctive on what they decide to put in their mouth”. Susan Fussell agrees.“We do see a trend towards more gourmet and premium chocolates, and it’s interesting. We see that trend really strengthening, even in a time of economic hardship.”But no matter the preference, Fussell says when it comes to holidays, chocolate is king, especially on Valentine’s Day, every February 14th. That’s a day when people all across the country express their love for one another with gifts, flowers, cards a nd - more often than not - chocolates.“Valentine’s Day itself, February 14th, is the single largest sales day during the year for sales of boxed chocolates,” she says.Back to a busy weekday afternoon, customers such as 24-year-old Kron Gill were shopping for Valentine’s Day treats.“I love chocolates; I’m in this store because I like its particular kind”. While others were simply celebrating the joys of chocolate.“I love chocolates more than other kinds of sweets”, “they are lovely, I love them”, “cause they taste good,ok？” “We love chocolates”, “It’s delicious, it’s good for you”, “I eat more chocolate than I should, even at my age”, “you know it has a wonderful mouth fills to it whether it has whatever in it, it just makes you hap pier in having it”,” It’s good for your soul, and it’s good for your stomach and makes you feel good, and there’s nothing better when you are happy or depressed. Have a pound of chocolate.”, “Thanks for a lot of happy on Valentine’s Day”.题目：1.What is the main idea of this piece of news?文本：。

Now schools in the United Kingdom want to give their students a head start by teaching them Mandarin-and they are making it compulsory.Brighton College is a fee paying private school on the south coast of Britain and already teaches Latin, Spanish and French to its 1,200 pupils. Students can choose between these languages, but from the autumn, which is the beginning of the new academic year in British schools, every student must study Mandarin whether they like it or not.Richard Cairns, headm aster of Brighton College, describes the move as “all the more radical” as there is “only a handful” of native Chinese pupils studying at the College. Mr. Cairns is considered something of a radical himself as he too will begin Mandarin classes in September-as a pupil in an ordinary class of students. Cairns is convinced that teaching Mandarin is essential for his students thatalready have a good record in succeeding in business. With Mandarin added to a pupil‟s portfolio, that record can be sustained and improved. He said: “One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils are equipped for the realities of the 21st century and one is that China has the fastest growing economy.”Brighton College is following a national trend as studying Chinese to the British A-level standard looks set to overtake Spanish and German, according to recent figures showing the number of students taking language examinations.The increase in popularity of Mandarin in comparison with Spanish has been the most surprising, with a 50 per cent increase since 2001 to 2,062 candidates last year.

All eyes were on Corpus Christi‟s captain, Gail Trimble, who had been dubbed “the greatest contestant ever”, as she almost single-handedly won their place in the final, earning two-thirds of her team‟s points.But in what turned out to be a tightly-fought match, other team members, including chemist Sam Kay, scored some vital points.At the gong, Corpus Christi was victorious but the trophy wasn‟t theirs for long.It emerged that by the time of the final Sam Kay was no longer a student; he had graduated and started work as an accountant, but hadn‟t realized he couldn‟t compete.On Monday the BBC announced the team was being disqualified, and the trophy handed to Manchester, who paid tribute to their opponents, saying they were sad to have won in such circumstances.But the dramatic highs and lows of Corpus Christi‟s game seem certain to make them one of the most memorable teams not to have won University Challenge.题目：1.Which university was the winning team at last?文本：你的答案:正确答案:Manchester University得分:老师意见:题目：2.Why were the team disqualified?文本：你的答案:正确答案:A student of the team, Sam Kay was no longer a student; he had graduated and s tarted work as an accountant, so he couldn‟t compete.得分:老师意见:2.Passage Two:Summary: Direction: Listen to the passage and summarize it.老师意见:Music in SchoolsCan you play a musical instrument? Where did you learn to play it? If you were a pupil in a British school, you would most probably learn at school. Approximately 25% of British pupils learn an instrument. What‟s more, of the 75% that don‟t, 40% would like to. But what instruments do the pupils learn to play? Traditionally, school children learnt classical instruments, such as the piano or violin. This is still true today. Younger children often learn the recorder. As they get older, they start to play the violin or piano. In fact, nearly one out of five music students is learning the violin. The piano, or keyboard, is more popular with older children at secondary school.However, things are changing. More pupils than ever before are now learning the guitar. As many as 16% of pupils learning an instrument are strumming its strings. Paul McManus, the Chief Executive of the MusicIndustries Association told the Telegraph newspaper that new British band like Franz Ferdinand, the Arctic Monkeys and Razor light had made playing the guitar …cool‟ again. This, perhaps, is why more children are now learning the guitar. British schools do not just offer lessons for instruments. All pupils learn music together as a class. These classes have been changing, too. In the past, the focus of classes was very much Western classical music. But the classes now cover a far wider range of styles, including folk music and world music. In arecent study by Keele University, 64% of boys and 70% of girls said they enjoy music lessons as a class. They like singing, playing instruments and find the lessons fun. Many schools have orchestras and put on concerts each term. It is alsocommon for pupils themselves to form their own bands, copying their rock and pop heroes. In conclusion, music plays a big part in British schools. Pupils can study an instrument, play music together as a class and even take part in concerts and plays.题目：1.Listen to the passage and summarize it.文本：你的答案:正确答案:Pupils in British can learn various kinds of musical instruments at school.

准备阶段Airport Security Screens Passengers Using New TechnologyChecking baggage for explosives hasn't been a problem. Airport security can put bags in x-ray machines, open them up to look inside, or use advanced machinery that that check traces of chemicals often used in explosives.But checking people's bodies isn't so easy. A TSA initiative that began last September to rigorously frisk more people led to dozens of sexual harassment complaints. So the TSA turned to technology installing what looks like a longer, more complex walk-through metal detectors in nine airports around the country.Jose Ralls is the TSA director from McCarran International in Las Vegas.Jose Ralls: The machine actually will talk to the individual, telling them to stand inside and wait, and as soon as they are cleared, it will tell them to proceed.From a distance, Mr. Ralls watches one airport passenger go through the process.Jose Ralls: Now he knows to go on through, and he just waits, and as soon as the air is analyzed he will be allowed to proceed forward.The machine blasts air downward and across whoever inside the portal. Mr. Ralls says that often startles people.Jose Ralls: That's why our focus out there is to explain to them what will be taking place,the noise that they will be hearing.The way it's supposed to work is that suspicious particles on clothing and exposed skin are blasted towards the floor -- where, within seven seconds, the machine can detect 40 types of explosives. If any are found, security is alerted.According to the manufacturer, Smith Detection, the portals also have less than 1% error rate. Company vice president Mark Lastra says this technology is commonly used elsewhere.Smith Detection: Mostly highly controlled facilities, sensitive security, such as nuclear power plants and government buildings with high security needs.Along with increasing security, the TSA hopes to cut down on passenger wait times. It is collecting data from the airports in this test base to see if the machines are faster and more efficient than human inspectors.The Transportation Security Administration plans to deploy five more of these portals elsewhere in the nation by late spring. Eventually it would like the explosive detectors to be as common as metal detectors.I am Ky Plaskon in Las Vegas.题目：1.For a long time, checking baggage for explosives has been a problem for airport security.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：2.Within seven seconds, the machine mentioned in the news can detect 14 types of explosives.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：3.According to the manufacturer, the portals also have no error rate.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：4.Along with increasing security, the TSA hopes to cut down on passenger wait times.

He says that in the future, this computer model may be able to predict some earthquakes just as hurricane paths are now forecast.John Rundle: Our goal is to be able to make forecasts on that kind of time scale and then to improve it to the point where we're actually able to see the preparation process in the months and year or two leading up to a large earthquake.Dr. Rundle says that several decades from now, one third of the world's population could live in seismically active regions.

Indonesia, which was badly hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami four years ago, is expected to have its own early warning mechanism working by the end of the year.The Australian project is based in the southern city of Melbourne and relies on high technology deep sea buoys. Five are in waters northwest of Australia, while others are off the continent's east coast in the Coral Sea. Additional buoys are further south in the Tasman Sea.Barry Drummond from the government's Geosciences office says the new system will provide accurate information about the risks of giant waves."Rather than saying a tsunami is on its way and it may impact the coastline of whichever state, the center is now in a position to be able to say, along that coastline these areas are more susceptible than those and in these areas the threat will be to things in the water; swimmers, boats, harbors and that sort of things and within these other areas the tsunami may come ashore and then these are the areas that you have to worry about," explained Drummond. "So far more detail. It allows us not to over-warn and ensures we don't under-warn."The sensitive monitoring equipment allows scientists to pinpoint the location of an earthquake that could trigger a tsunami, its depth and strength.The Australian system also will provide sea level and seismic data to vulnerable island nations in the Pacific Ocean and also to authorities in Japan.The epicenter of the undersea earthquake that triggered the December 26, 2004, Indian Ocean tsunami occurred off the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia.More than 200,000 people were killed in 11 countries. Many coastal areas were swamped by waves up to 30 meters high.It was one of the world’s worst natural disasters. Indonesia, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka were hardest hit.Unlike the Pacific, the Indian Ocean did not have a system to warn coastal communities that a tsunami was on the way.In the aftermath of the 2004 disaster, scientists and governments began working on an alert network for the Indian Ocean region.题目：1.Which one could be the possible title for the news?文本：A) The Australian Tsunami Warning CenterB) Australia Sets Up New Tsunami Warning SystemC) Indian Ocean TsunamD) Tsunami's Impact on Scientific Research你的答案:正确答案:D得分:老师意见:题目：2.Due to Indian Ocean tsunami, how many people were killed?文本：A) more than 120,000 peopleB) more than 20,000 peopleC) more than 200,000 peopleD) more than 200,000,000 people你的答案:正确答案:C得分:老师意见:题目：3.Which countries were not hardest hit during Indian Ocean tsunami?文本：A) IndonesiaB) ThailandC) IndiaD) Singapore你的答案:正确答案:D得分:老师意见:2.Passage One Exercise 1 Part 2: Listen to the passage and decide whether thefollowing statements are true or false, write T for true and F for false.老师意见:Australia Sets Up New Tsunami Warning SystemThe Australian tsunami warning system is part of what officials hope will be a network of centers across the Indian Ocean that share scientific data.

准备阶段1.Exercise 1: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false, write T for true, F for false.老师意见:Britain Marks 10 Years of Princess Diana’s DeathThe 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death has resurrec ted old controversies about the “People’s Princess.” Since her death in a car crash in Paris in 1997, Diana’s legacy has been hotly debated. Some see a troubled woman who courted media attention. Others recall a warm, generous person who focused her energy on charitable causes and dared to hug AIDS victims. Australian feminist Germaine Greer described Diana as “moron” this month, but Prime Minister Gordon Brown hailed her as “extraordinary woman” who “still has the remarkable ability to move and inspire.”Despite the debate, there is no doubt that Diana spent much of her time doing humanitarian work. She was involved in such organizations as the Great Ormond Street Hospital for sick children in London, the National Aids Trust and the Leprosy Mission. The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund was established in September 1997 to continue the Princess’s humanitarian work in the United Kingdom and overseas. The fund was established with the proceeds from sales of the recording of Elton John’s performance of “Candle in the Wind”, which was played at Diana’s funeral. Samantha Rennie is a spokesperson for the fund. She said Diana used her celebrity status to draw attention to unpopular causes. “She supported causes that were in her life unpopular. You might remember pictures of her shaking hands with someone who had HIV/AIDS at a time when this was thought horrific and yet now 10 years on it seems quiet normal. Similarly she was photographed walking through minefields at a time that this was considered hugely controversial and yet now landmines have been stigmatized. So in the intervening years of course people’s attitudes change, but in many ways they change for the better.”Simon Conway is the director of Landmine Action, which has received support from the Diana fu nd. He said Diana’s work with landmines continues to help the cause.“I think we have seen significant progress in the last 10 years. We now have a 153 nations, three quarters of the world, have signed up to the Ottawa Treaty banning landmines, but perhaps more importantly in purely practical terms, the weapon has been completely stigmatized.”Samantha Rennie says that though the Diana fund is no longer actively raising money, people are still making donations.“We are making what is called proactive grants. So in a small number of very specific areas such as palliative care, that’s care for the dying in Africa, refugees and asylum seekers in the U.K. And other areas such as cluster munitions, we are working towards an international ban on cluster munitions. In these specific areas, we are actually identifying organizations with whom we have worked in the past in order to carry forward those very specific goals.”Nearly 500 invited guests are expected to attend a memorial service in the historic Guards Chapel at Wellington Barracks in central London, where her two sons are officers in the British Army. The royal memorial service is not open to the public. Shoppers at Harrods’ department store have been invited to remain silent for two minutes on Friday along with Mohamed al Fayed, the owner, whose son, Emad, known as Dodi, died with Diana in the car crash.

After a sweeping election victory in 1997, Tony Blair promised a new direction.“You, the British people have given us the chance to serve you,” said Mr. Blair. “You have put your trust in us and we say to you-- we shall repay that trust for you. We govern for you.”He promised to revitalize the country with a dynamic, efficient approach more in tune with the new global economy. He vowed more effective social programs and brought a new, relaxed style to Number 10 Downing Street. But it wasn’t just style and an ability to connect with average people that made Tony Blair popular. Blair biographer, Anthony Seldon says it was also plain political skill.“He won more elections than any other Labor prime minister, he changed the face of the Labor Party, he produced peace in Northern Ireland after many years of fighting.”The Northern Ireland peace process of 1998 came to fruition less than two months ago with the formation of a unity Catholic-Protestant government for the province. Mr. Blair was in Belfast to clinch the deal.“Northern Ireland was synonymous with conflict. People felt that it coul d not be done, indeed sometimes that it even should not be done, that the compromises involved were too ugly. Yet in the end, it was done and this holds a lesson for conflict everywhere.”Dealing with conflicts near and abroad became a cornerstone of Mr. Blair’s interventionist foreign policy. In 1999, he argued forcefully for the international community to intervene in Kosovo. And Britain’s military intervention in the West African nation of Sierra Leone in 2000 is credited with helping bring to an end a brutal civil war there. Mr. Blair won a landslide second term in office in 2001, but then the world changed on September 11th.“The full horror of what has happened in the United States earlier today is now becoming clearer. It is hard even to contemplate the utter carnage and terror which has engulfed so many innocent people.”Mr. Blair stood with U.S. President George Bush, forging ever-closer ties between London and Washington. He was instrumental in making the case for action against al-Qaida in Afg hanistan and went along willingly into Iraq. Again Blair’s biographer, Anthony Seldon.“Oh, he was completely willing. He was convinced that British interests would best be served by getting right up close to the White House, working very closely with the president, seeing him often, having weekly conferences on video with the president and this would best exert British influence.”While Mr. Blair is widely credited with having tempered the Bush administration’s go-it-alone approach in the early preparations for Iraq, he has been harshly criticized for not being able to influence how the war and the aftermath were handled. Michael Brown, former Conservative Member of Parliament and now political columnist for the Independent Newspaper, tells VOA, Iraq was Tony Blair’s biggest mistake.“His enduring legacy, in terms of British public life, will, I’m afraid be Iraq. Iraq will be engraved on Tony Blair’s political tombstone when the history books of his premiership are written.”Iraq took its toll on Mr. Bla ir’s popularity and still he won a third term in office in 2005, even though the Labor party took a beating. Then in July terrorist attacks on London’s transport system claimed the lives of 52 commuters. Speculation was rife that Tony Blair would not last to the next election scheduled for 2010. That speculation proved correct.“Today, I announce my decision to step down from the leadership of the Labor Party.” And a final word for the supporters that day, “Hand on heart, I did what Ithought was right. I may have been wrong, that is your call. But believe one thing if nothing else, I did what I thought was right for our country.” It is too early to tell how Tony Blair will eventually be remembered, but for now Iraq casts a long shadow over his legacy.

Newspapers wasted no time announcing the happy news as their staff pitched outside the Lenval hospital building, scanning for any sight of happy father Brad Pitt or just about anyone else connected to the event. Jolie aged 33 picked a hospital near the glamorous Promenade des Anglais for the birth. Pitt and Jolie, seen here during their recent visit to the Cannes film festival, named the twins Vivienne Marcheline, and Knox Leon. Marcheline was the name of Angelina’s actress mother who died of cancer last year. The paparazzi were finally rewarded when Jolie’s doctor Michel Sussmann along with the mayor of Nice made an appearance on the hospital steps. Sussmann told Reuters both parents and babies were in “excellent health”. He said the caesarean section birth had been brought forward for medical reasons.The birth drew a mixed reaction in Nice. Some were caught up in the mood of the moment. “I’m happy for them. It must have been a wonderful occasion. It always is when you have a baby, isn’t it?” Others kept a firm sense of proportion. “It’s ridiculous. (It’s ridiculous, right?) Yeah, absolutely, it’s just two people that had kids and that, just they make far too much out of it.” “Please take care of them, because with so many children I don’t know if you can do that.”The twins bring the Pitt-Jolie brood to six. Local newspaper Nice-Matin reported that the couple had sold exclusive rights to the first photographs of the babies to an unnamed US magazine for $11 million and would give the money to charity. The celebrity couple, known in the media as “Brangelina”, moved into a 17th century villa in Provence, France, earlier this year.

And in our life, everything is perfect.”Beckham’s wife, Victoria, also got an excited welcome. Known as Posh, she was once part of the pop group the Spice Girls. The couple and their three children will live in a sprawling Beverly Hills mansion.Beckham’s five-year contract with the Galaxy will pay him more than five million dollars a year, plus tens of millions more in commercial endorsements. The Galaxy hope their star mid-fielder will help popularize soccer in the United States. Beckham has played for England’s Manchester United and Spain’s Real Madrid, and he says soccer can potentially be as big in the United States as it is in other countries.In the audience to greet the new Galaxy star was Michael Wadley, a visitor from Alabama in the southeastern United States. His son is taking part in a summer soccer camp, and he says the sport is getting popular in his state. “Soccer is probably a bigger sport now than football used to be, back about 20 years ago,” he said.Beckham is expected to draw a sellout crowd for his first Major League Soccer match in Los Angeles July 21, when the Galaxy will face the visiting Englishfootball league’s Chelsea club. Mike O’ Saliwine, VOA News, Los Angeles.题目：1.文本：你的答案:正确答案:English soccer star, David Beckham, has arrived in L.A. to join the city’s Major League Soccer team, the Galaxy.
