     Five Olympic mascots were announced exactly 1000 days before the Beijing Olympic opening
ceremony. The long-anticipated mascots represent four of China's most popular animals—the fish, the
panda, the Tibetan antelope and the swallow. The fifth mascot is the brightly burning Olympic flame.
     Each of the mascots has a repeated two-syllable name. This type of name is a traditional way of
showing affection for children in China. BeiBei is the fish, JingJing is the panda, HuanHuan is the Olympic
flame, YingYing is the Tibetan antelope and NiNi is the swallow. The first characters of their two-syllable
names read "Beijing Huanying Ni," or, in English, "Welcome to Beijing."
     The five elements of nature, including the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky are found in the mascot's
origins and headpieces. These special headpieces also display the folk and culture of China. Each mascot
also symbolizes a different blessing —prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck.
     It is the first time more than three mascots will share the important duty of representing their host
country. Han Meilin, chief of the mascot design team explained that, "China has such a rich culture that no
single mascot could possibly represent it! That is why we chose to produce five mascots instead of one."
     Called the "Five Friendlies," the figures embody(體現(xiàn)) the Chinese people's hope for peace and
friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics, representing not only multi-ethnic(多民族的)
cultures of China, but also the traditional Chinese philosophy of harmony between humans and nature.
     In order to help Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, the Five Friendlies reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games - and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human union in
2008.
1. What's the theme of Beijing 2008 Olympics?
A. Welcome to Beijing.
B. Prosperity, Happiness, Passion, Health and Good luck.
C. New Beijing, New Olympics.
D. One World, One Dream.
2. What did Han Meilin, chief of the mascot design team, think of the five mascots?
A. He thought highly of the five mascots.
B. No single mascot could represent China.
C. The five mascots represented the culture of China.
D. They would reflect the desire of Chinese people.
3. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. It's for the first time that five mascots are chosen to represent their host country in the Olympic history.
B. One of the five mascots YingYing stands for the Olympic flame.
C. Beijing announced its five 2008 Olympic mascots just 1000 days before the big event.
D. The five mascots express affection for Chinese children by two-syllable names.
4. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?
A. The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008.
B. The theme of 2008 Beijing Olympics - One World, One Dream.
C. The significance of five 2008 Olympic mascots - the Five Friendlies.
D. How the Five Fantastic Mascots came into being.
5. What do the five mascots - the Five Friendlies represent?
A. "Beijing Huanying Ni," or, in English, "Welcome to Beijing."
B. Chinese multi-ethnic cultures, philosophy of harmony between humans and nature and five elements
of nature.
C. Chinese people's hope for peace and friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics.
D. The deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Olympics.

     Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a
culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. From this view point,
all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
     Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically
everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a socio-cultural
system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here is one of the cases of children
growing up apart from human society. In the province of Kidnaper in India, the director of a children's
home was told by local villagers that there were "ghost(鬼)" in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the
director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to
have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the
local people. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child was named)
and Amala(the name given to the younger child).
     Kamala was a terrible-looking being-the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. Close
at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were
very bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as
they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours like squirrels.
Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part
in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior
through their membership in a certain cultural community.
1. From the passage we can learn that               .
A. human beings can develop human abilities only if they are raised by their biological parents
B. Amala and Kamala were raised in forest by ghosts
C. human beings will not grow up human unless they are raised by human beings in human culture
D. culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society
2. Who were the "ghosts" of the Kidnapper forest seen by the local villagers?
A. They were two children Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
B. They were two squirrels, Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
C. They were two young wolves, Amala and Kamala, whose eyes were bright and sharp.
D. They were two children, Amala and Kamala, who were growing up in a children's home.
3. How would you understand the description by the director "they began going on all fours," in his
diary?
A. They began to continue with all their four eyes.
B. They started walking with their four feet.
C. They began going with their four hands.
D. They started walking with both their hands and feet.
4. Which of the following do you think is the best title to this passage?
A. Wolf-children                      
B. Culture and Human Behavior
C. Culture and Language Learning         
D. A director's Diary

Section One
     The city is an accumulation (積累)of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher
(哲學(xué)家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact（簡(jiǎn)潔的）, has been
designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their
versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin (拉丁語的) word “civitas”(meaning “city”), and
it is by no means a coincidence（巧合）. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of
order in human society.
Section Two
     The emblem, showing the image of three people  ? you, me, him/her holding hands together,
symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世”
(meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers' wish to host an Expo which is of global
scale and which displays the various urban cultures of the world.
Section Three
     Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture.
It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always
human. The mascot（吉祥物） “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of
World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”.
     The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke(一筆，一劃) supports
each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human
are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available.
Such an urban life will be nice.
     Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ? “World Expo 2010
Shanghai China welcomes you!”

1. Section One mainly tells us about ______.

    A. the part cities play in human civilization  
    B. the development of the word “city”

     In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we
talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about
the weather: "Nice day, isn’t it?" "Terrible weather, isn’t it?" But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People
usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they
are watching: "Great game, isn’t it?" At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?"    
     Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet
each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This
shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
1. Small talk is _____.
A. to let people disagree about something  
B. a kind of conversation with short words  
C. a greeting when people meet each other  
D. something we talk about to start with a conversation
2. The favorite topic of small talk is about _____.
A. games    
B. politics    
C. languages  
D. the weather
3. The passage suggests that when we learn a language _____.
A. we should know the culture about the country  
B. we should only master the grammar and vocabulary  
C. we should grasp the importance of the language  
D. we should learn about the transport system of the country
4. When we say “Great game, isn’t it?” we in fact _____.
A. have a conversation      
B. begin a small talk  
C. greet each other          
D. ask a question
5. What we learn from the passage is that _____.
A. in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather  
B. different language has different grammar  
C. small talk is an important part in a language

     The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James
Franklin. Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might
recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on
famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.  
     Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their
present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing readers, advertisers,
market value, and, in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable
just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors
ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case. " An
article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline "NOT
DEAD YET."  
     Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of
step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost
42% of their market value in the past thee years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock
(股票)drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager
at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock The Washington Post Company
has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and
test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.    
1. What can we learn about the New England Courant?  
A. It is mainly about the stock market.
B.  It carries articles by political leaders.  
C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.  
D. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.  
2. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?  
A. They often accept readers' suggestions.
B. They care a lot about each other's health.  
C. They stop doing business with advertisers.  
D. They face great difficulties in their business.   
3. Which of the following found a new way for its development?  
A.  The Guardian.        
B. The Washington Post.  
C. The New York Times.          
D. New England Courant.  
4. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?  
A. Worried.          
B. Hopeful.          
C. Satisfied.        
D. Surprised.

閱讀理解。
     Would you like to be a king or queen? To have people waiting on you hand and foot? Many
Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How? By being customers. The American
idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof? Just listen
to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonald's ad, "We do it all for you." Actually,
not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good
customer service means making customers feel special.
     People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning.
Most places don't have a "furniture street" or a "computer road" which allow you to compare prices
easily. Instead, people often "let their fingers do the walking" through the store hot lines. From the first
"hello", customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help them
decide where to shop.
     When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don't usually find
store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and
offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make
shopping an easy job. Customers usually don't have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly
marked. And unless they're at a flea market or a yard sale, they don't bother trying to bargain.
     When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as
Murphy's Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores
open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with
10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm "thank you"
from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot.
That way, they don't have to carry heavy bags out to the car.
1. By quoting (引用) the McDonald's ad, "We do it all for you", the author intends to ________.
A. suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeply
B. show readers the American idea on good customer service
C. express all the stores pay much attention to the customers
D. persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly
2. In the USA, what may you do at first if you want to do some shopping?
A. To visit a professional street with lots of similar stores.
B. To compare prices in many shops in the same street.
C. To make phone calls and get better shopping choices.
D. To receive other customers' answers to the questions.
3. Which of the followings shows American stores offer convenience to customers in this passage?
A. The store clerks don't usually sit around watching TV or playing cards.
B. Some stores offer price bargain to the customers like a yard sale.
C. The clerks give customers a smile and a warm "thank you" after paying.
D. Some stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes are crowded.

     When American inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution
in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances. Over the last
two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone.
     The mobile phone is like a two-way radio. But the two-way radio is a limited means of communication. As soon as the users move out of range of each other's broadcast area, the signal is lost. In the 1940s,
researchers experimented with the idea of using a number of radio masts (無線電桿) to pick up signals
from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts. When he or she moved
too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal. (Scientists referred to each mast's
reception area as being a "cell". This is why in many countries mobile phones are called "cellphones".)
     However, 1940s' technology was just at the beginning. The "mobile phones" were huge boxes. They
had to be moved by car.
     The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper. As soon as his invention
was complete, he tested it by calling a rival (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手) scientist to announce his success. Within a
decade, mobile phones became available to the public.
     They have changed the way we do a lot of things. One powerful feature is: the short message service
(SMS) or text message. It's the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. The text
message has changed the way we write in English. The language construction became more lax (松散的). Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important.
     Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced. We have seen the
introduction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access.
     Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of the telephone has
developed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy
rite now. Will call U 2nite."        
1. The article is intended to ______.
A. warn people of the possible risks in using mobile phones
B. inform readers of the history and benefits of mobile phones
C. convince people of the uses of mobile phones
D. predict the applications of mobile phones
2. What's the correct time order about the development of communication?
a. the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell
b. mobile telephone call made by Dr Martin Cooper
c. "mobile phones" with very large boxes 
d. mobiles with cameras, GPS and Internet access
A. a, c, b, d          
B. b, a, c, d          
C. a, c, d, b            
D. a, b, c, d
3. The last sentence of the whole passage ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite." may probably means ______.
A. That's great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call you tonight
B. It's eight now. I'm very busy. (I) Will call you tonight
C. That's great! But I'm busy writing now. (I) Will call you at two tonight
D. "8" is great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call it "U" to night
4. What do you think of the author according to the last paragraph?
A. Humorous.      
B. Ironic (諷刺的).
