Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I take great pleasure in formally welcoming you and Madam Liu to Buckingham Palace on the occasion of your State Visit to the United Kingdom．You are certainly no stranger to the United Kingdom．This will be your second visit this year, and I also met Your Excellency when you visited as Vice-President in 2001．

It is now almost twenty years since I visited China．Since then China's development has caught the world's attention and admiration．It matters to all of us what kind of country China's people will build, what role they will play in the world of 'the twenty-first century, and how this will be sensed by others．

China's growth brings with it difficult challenges for you and your government, but also great opportunities．During her visit in September, The Princess Royal saw both the flagship cities of Beijing and Shanghai and the efforts of government and non-governmental organizations to reduce poverty in rural areas of Anhui and Gansu．I am delighted that China was able to join discussions earlier this year on poverty relief in Africa, sharing with the global community your own remarkable experience in this area．

In those twenty years, the world has changed too．When I visited China in 1986, we had no knowledge that the Cold War was so close to its end and we knew little then of the significance of global warming．Now we are able to work together and in the international community to solve problems of environmental protection and sustainable (可持續(xù)的) development．．．

     May I now ask all our guests to raise their glasses and drink a toast:

To His Excellency the President of the people's Republic of China and Madam Liu and the Chinese people．

65．The speech was most probably given in _________．

A．1986                B．1995                C．2001                D．2005

下面文章中有5處（第66~70題）需要添加小標題。請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標題，并在答題卡上將相應(yīng)選項的標號涂黑。選項中有一項是多余選項。
A. Explore All Your Talents
B. Be Ready for the Up-coming Competition
C. Set a Down-to-Earth Goal
D. Prepare Yourself Emotionally
E. Look for a Competitive College
F. Consider Talent Search Programs in Junior High
Many aspects of college planning are the same for most college-bound students. However, if you’re in any academically gifted and talented program, you have additional things to think about. Here are some actions you should consider.
66.______
Talent search programs provide educational opportunities for seventh-and eighth-graders who are mathematically or verbally talented. Some of these programs use SAT scores to identify academically gifted students. Although most students take the SAT in junior or senior year of high school, gifted and talented student often take it earlier.
67. ______
Many gifted students have the potential to succeed in multiple academic areas. Don't miss opportunities by focusing too early on one that you excel in; carefully examine all your strengths and interests. Discover what you really like to study and the topics you may want to pursue in college. Pursue your interest and passion for learning to the fullest extent possible while you’re still in high school.
68. ______
Gifted students often feel that they have to be accepted by very competitive colleges to be considered successful. And while a competitive college may be the right place for you, don’t let selectivity be the only factor. The most important aspect of college planning is finding a college that’s a good fit.
69. ______
Many gifted students are used to being at the top of their junior high and high school classes. Be prepared to meet other gifted students in college — students who do just as well as you, or better, in the classroom. It can be unsettling. Handle it by staying focused on your own studies and skills and aiming to do your personal best.
70. ______
Although your academic qualifications and abilities may exceed those of your high school classmates, your age is the same as theirs. High school is a time for adolescence, while college requires emotional maturity. A 15-year-old high school graduate may not be prepared to live on a campus 1,000 miles from home with other students who are 18 and older. Think about what you are ready for emotionally, as well as academically, when you’re narrowing down your college list.

Women nowadays do not just want to work to help meet the rising costs of living and education for their children. They also want a career that will enable them to bring out their skills and use their potentials so that they can experience a sense of fulfillment and pride that come from achievements and success. Some careers that have been traditionally dominated(支配)by the male species have been made open and filled up by women as well. It is no longer a surprising occurrence today to see many women working as pilots, astronauts, engineers, in construction sites, and in the printing business that operates high?tech machines.

Many women are also taking their chances on managerial and executive positions that mostly men are the ones sitting on. Many of them also do well in the line of education as teachers, deans and even presidents of universities. You can also see many women as lecturers and reviewers of different businesses. One example is that of the online printing company reviews where women usually have a say on what is the best choice for online printers for any marketing needs.

From the income that women are getting from their work, they are able to maintain a family and able to provide a better education for their children and able to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

However, there are still pronounced biases (偏見) against women in high leadership positions. There still exists the so?called gender?role stereotyping. Women need help to cope with and manage the typical stereotyping of women workers and managers. Those who look for jobs advertised in the classified sections of the newspaper often discover that many corporate positions are closed to women. And most often than not, many give preference to men by indicating in their ads phrases such as “male preferred” or “male applicants only”. Even in some family run or owned corporations, seldom can you see women managers and presidents.

Surveys show that although a man and a woman have the same level or handle the same position in an organization, the man would get a higher or bigger compensation package(薪酬) compared to women.? Because of this, many women are just contented，to be in subordinate positions in finance, human resources, sales, manufacturing and other supportive roles.

There are still other barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potentials in the world of employment. Our culture does not encourage women to excel in government and in business?related jobs. Women who are able to make it on top and handle leadership roles are sometimes regarded merely as tokens. The abilities and skills of women are normally questioned by their own peers, and sadly even by other women.

If you are a woman who have the interest, ability and drive to pursue management careers，career counseling is of great help to help you find direction and increase motivation to pursue your career goals. It will help you have the self?confidence to get you in the same career opportunities open to men in this society that still prefers men for top level positions.

1.From the first paragraph we know that women________.

A．work mainly to help meet the rising costs of living

B．want to provide their children with better education

C．also want to take some more challenging jobs

D．have taken up some work that men can do well

2.It can be inferred that in the past it was surprising to see women________.

A．taking jobs outside home

B．working as pilots or astronauts

C．educating their children at home

D．operating machines at home

3.The underlined word “subordinate” in the 5th paragraph has a similar meaning to“________”．

A．higher? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? B．lower

C．more rewarding? ????????????? ????????????? D．less demanding

4.What's the best title for the passage?

A．Women working out of houses

B．Women fighting against biases

C．Women getting larger income

D．Women aiming high in careers

His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.

Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.

  Three Healthy Ways to Help Your Kids Excel in School

   1.     Follow these golden rules to help ensure that your kids succeed this school year—and beyond.

1. Add exercise to their routine.

According to recently published research, the parts of children’s brains that are associated with memory and learning are larger in those kids who are more active.    2.      In other words, if you want your kids to get better grades as a result, make sure to schedule in frequent exercise along with piano practice and Mandarin lessons.

2. Feed them healthy food.

Children’s brains need much more nutritious materials to keep developing. A great amount of fish, eggs, nuts, berries, fruits, and vegetables in your kids’ diet will lead to well-nourished (營養(yǎng)良好的) brains as well as bodies.    3.     Limiting sweets prevents sugar rushes and low-blood-sugar crashes that can cause kids to become absent-minded and behave irregularly.

3.   4.     

While their bodies are asleep, children’s brains are hard at work going over the new information. Kids who don’t get enough sleep or are frequently interrupted while sleeping have been shown to have difficulty remembering what they’ve learned in school.    5.  That will go far towards helping them be at their best throughout the school d

A.Make sure they get a good night’s sleep.

B.Powerful brains come from healthy bodies.

C.Help your kids go over their lessons before they go to bed.

D.Eating more sugar is key to helping them regulate their behavior as well.

E.Help your kids relax in the evenings and go to bed at a reasonable hour.

F.Cutting down on sugar is key to helping them regulate their behavior, too.

G.Studies have shown that children involved in more exercise improved in math, reading, and spelling.
