Vancouver ended its time hosting the 2010 Olympic games on a light-hearted note, with a closing ceremony that featured floating moose, dancing Mounties and gigantic cut-out hockey players wearing the gold medals Team Canada had won hours before.
The upbeat ending was in stark contrast to the grim beginning of these games, which were marred by protests, the death of a Georgian luger, and then by unseasonably warm weather that left organizers postponing events and trucking in snow on Cypress Mountain.
``You took on a stubborn mountain with all your might,'' said Vancouver Organizing Committee CEO John Furlong, lauding the games' blue-garbed staff in a speech during the ceremony. ``The final result: Blue Jackets 1; Cypress Mountain weather zero.''
During the closing ceremony, Vancouver passed the baton to Sochi, Russia, which will host the 2014 winter games.
68. Which one didn’t happen at the beginning of games?
A. snow once was a big problem for the events.   B. a Georgian coach died
C.weather became warm out of season.        D. something unharmonious happened.
69. According to Furlong’s speech, we can infer that _________.
A.you made every effort to climb up the mountain
B.Cypress Mountain is quite stubborn.    C.mountain weather was up to zero cold.
D.to some degree, blue-grabed staff are supernatural.
70. What happened at the closing ceremony?
A.Team Canada won the first place in hockey.      B.A handover ceremony ocurred.
C.Furlong announced the final result in the last event.
D.Some staff trucked snow to the scene.
71. The best title is ______________.
A.Vancouver Ends 2010 Games With A Smile   B.Team Canada Achieved A Great Success.
C.A Splendid Closing Ceremony              D.The Wonderful 2010 Winter Games

The TV shows a baby’s pram (嬰兒車) rolling off a train platform as the mother makes a mad rush to save her son, but she is too late and it falls onto the rails in front of an incoming train. This heart-stopping scene happened yesterday at Ashburton station in Melbourne, Australia. But the story has a happy ending: the six-month-old baby survived with just a cut on his forehead, although the pram was dragged about 35 metres by the braking train. The nurse Jon Wright said the boy just “needed a feed and a sleep” and didn’t need to stay in hospital.
“Luckily, he was strapped (綁) into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life. I think the child is extremely lucky, ” Wright told the Herald Sun newspaper after the baby was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Fortunately the train was already slowing down to stop at the station so it stopped quickly when the driver put on the brakes as soon as he saw the pram fall in front of him. Rail firm Connex is to look into how the pram rolled off the platform. The accident came one day after Connex started a child safety awareness activity warning parents to keep babies strapped into their prams at all times while on platforms.
The accident happened at the same time as the “balloon boy ”story in the US, in which a six-year-old Colorado boy was reported to be trapped in a flyaway balloon. However, he was later found hiding in the family’s garage. Many people believe that it had all been a publicity stunt by the parents. No such doubts surround the baby on the train platform.
小題1:In the accident, the baby           .
A．a(chǎn)lmost fell onto the rails
B．needed to stay in hospital
C．was badly injured by the train
D．was pulled a long distance in the pram by the train
小題2:The child was not killed most probably because        .
A．the mother strapped him into his pram
B．the platform is not very high
C．he was well fed and asleep
D．the mother rushed to save him
小題3:Why could the train stop quickly?
A．Because it had just begun to move.
B．Because it was moving slowly at that time.
C．Because the mother took measures quickly.
D．Because the driver saw the pram fall.
小題4:The underlined word “stunt” in the last paragraph probably means           .
A．something sillyB．something funny
C．something done to attract attentionD．something done to avoid bad luck

Congratulations! You are the Time magazine "Person of the Year".
The annual honor for 2006 went to anyone that uses or creates content on the Internet. The  magazine designed special cover－a white keyboard with a mirror for a computer screen where buyers can see their reflection- for the issue, reflecting the importance of user-generated(使用者自創(chuàng)) Internet content as a driving force in the modem world.
User-generated content on websites such as YouTube has proved the latest twist(轉(zhuǎn)折) in the Internet revolution. YouTube has attracted millions of users and earned its founders $ US1.65 billion when it was bought by Google earlier this year.
Normally, the magazine describes its person of the year not necessarily as an honor, but as "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and represented what was important about the year". Mr. Stengel said in an interview that to select the "Person of the Year" is to look for someone who's a symbol.
The magazine did cite(提名) 26 "People Who Mattered," from Chinese President Hu Jintao to a group of three persons that included: U.S. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield.
It was not the first time that the magazine went away from naming an actual person for its
"Person of the Year". In 1966, the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American women were named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.
In 2005, the winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono, who were cited for their charitable(慈善的) work aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.
65. "You", the Time magazine 'Person of the Year 2006', refers to________.
A. anyone who reads this magazine     B. anyone who surfs the Internet
C. anyone who knows the result of the selection  D. anyone who reads the passage
66. The fashionable character of the Internet revolution is________.
A. to search information on the Internet      B. to use the Internet to make money
C. to be cited for "Person of the Year"      D. to create content onto the Internet
67. The usual qualification of "Person of the Year" is that a person or persons must________.
A. do the most good to the world in the year    B. not live up to the expectation of the world     
C. really affect the world the most in the year  D. help the world move ahead in the year
68. Which of the following is true?
A. U.S. President Bush was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".
B. Chinese President Hu Jintao was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".
C. 'Person of the Year' must be a person or persons.
D. A rock star is unlikely to be cited for the "Person of the Year".

In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine - laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV - infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, " I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me. "
64. What is the boy Tyler's attitude towards death?
A.  optimistic.      B.  pessimistic.   C. sorrowful.              D. fearful.
65. Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because ________.
A. red is a lucky color                 B. red might help to cure him
C. his mom could spot him easily        D. he could find more mates by wearing red
66. Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?
A. My unusual profession.                 B. A caring mother.
C. Mother and son.                         D. Dying in red.
67. The underlined word dynamo in the fourth paragraph here means ________.
A. a promising and helpful youth       B. an extremely energetic person
C. a rare and beautiful flower          D. a magic and understanding superstar
