U.S. presidents.

In the summer of 1963, Clinton won a drama contest (戏剧比赛), so he was given a chance to visit the

阅读理解。 David Beckham
As a Manchester United player, David Beckham is used to winning. He is one of the most famous
Englishmen in the World today.
Of course, it is impossible to have an unbiased opinion of this young man or the team that he plays
for. If you are a Man Utd fan, you love him. If you aren't a fan of this team, then your opinion of Mr.
Beckham may be quite different. In fact, in recent times, his treatment by fans of other teams has been
extremely unsavoury, especially when he has been playing for England. Some of the worst words have
not even been aimed at Beckham but at his wife and young child, which is a bad thing. It has been hard
for the football leaders to control such unruly behaviour. How can you discipline people for their comments
when so many people are guilty? But under the pressure of being shouted at by so many people, he has
always remained calm.
Of course, a lot of the bad things about Beckham are due to his own actions. He is a very fashionable
young man, but some of the clothes he has worn have been simply amazing. Why a person in his position
would choose to wear a skirt in public is truly unbelievable! Furthermore, to wear such things in
unseasonable times as mid-winter seems even crazier!
His behavior on the football pitch has also been unpredictable at times. Sometimes he is brilliant;
sometimes he does crazy things. Some of the most famous footballing incidents involving Beckham are not
his spectacular goals but his ungainly tackles. The most famous occasion was in France '98, when a clumsy
tackle led to him being sent off.
However, he is not guilty of such things, and if he can stop such behavior he could even become
England'next captain.1. David Beckham is ______ in the world. [ ] A. unknown
B. not popular
C. famous
D. unfashionable2. Once, Beckham wore ______ in public in mid-winter. [ ] A. T-shirt
B. uniform
C. earring
D. skirt3. Which one is Right? [ ] A. Everyone loves David Beckham.
B. Some people say bad things about the Beckham's.
C. Beckham never makes mistakes on the football pitch.
D. Beckham must be England 'next captain'.4. Beckham was sent off in France'98, because of ______. [ ] A. his fame
B. his tackle
C. his words

cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then

just wasn't good enough," she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.

business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong.

根据短文内容选择最恰当的答案。 
Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American-
George Washington. Benjamin was black, but he was not a slave. He and his
mother and his grandmother were free. Benjamin's grandmother came from
England. In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her
boat trip across the ocean . After working many more years, she saved enough
money to buy a farm. Benjamin lived with her for a while. She taught him to read
and write and do arithmetic (算术).
Benjamin's neighbour knew that he was clever. They were not surprised
when he built a large wooden clock. He made each piece after studying a smallpocket watch. The clock made him famous, for it was one of the first clocks built in America. People from
other places began to send hard problems of all kinds for Benjamin to settle.
Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Banneker's ability to settle hard problems. He asked Banneker to
help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States-Washington, D.C. Banneker worked hard on
the plans for the city. He marked where the streets and buildings-the Capitol (美国国会大厦) the White House,
and many others-should be built.
Later, L' Enfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a quarrel, and went back to France
in anger. He took all of the plans with him. The workmen couldn't build without any plans to follow.
For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed, but Benjamin Banneker
remembered the plans he had helped draw. He drew each again as he had built each piece of his clock.
If it weren't for Benjamin Banneker, Washington, D.C might look very different from the way it does
today.1. Benjamin's grandmother taught him how ____________ when he was young. [ ] A) to read and write and do arithmetic

根据短文内容回答下列问题。 Asia Pop Idol(偶像)：Rain
He uses his stage name, Rain, when he works as a singer and dancer. His real name is
Jung-Ji-hoon and he is also a famous actor.
He showed his interest in dancing ever since he was in the 6th grade. As a teenager, he
was part of the boy band(乐队) group called "fan club". Years later, Park Jin-young (Korean singer) took Rain
under his wing and trained him for years in dancing and singing. During those training years Rain was not at
home much and didn't have enough money, so at times he had to train without meals.
Finally in 2002 the song "Bad Guy" made him famous. Following the success of the first album(专辑), he
came back with a new set of music in his 2nd album. In 2004, he acted in a successful drama called Full House
which was welcomed in other Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia,China, Malaysia, Thailand and
Japan. His performance in Full House has won him the "Best Actor Award" at the KBS
Acting Awards. It is hard to describe his dancing with simple words because it is a mix-
ture of so many different elements. He has created a whole new style of his own. In
Beijing he won the "Best Korean Singer" Award. Since his success in 2002, the 26-year
old has become one of the most popular Korean artists in Asia.Singer Park Jin-young once said to his friends, "I was always wondering whether Rain understood what I
said because he never said anything when I scolded (责备) him. One day I entered his room, and was surprised
to discover a wall covered with notes. Every note was filled with my words and advice. "Rain had written down
every single piece of advice his older friend had given him and had been doing his best to correct his mistakes
and improve his skills.

阅读下面短文，然后从其后各题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 When his doctor told nine-year-old Michael Milton he would lose his left leg to bone cancer (骨癌) in
1982, one of the first questions he asked was: "Will I still be able to ski?"
Soon, Milton, who grew up in a skiing family and had hit the hillside from the age of three, saw a video
of a one-legged skier that would change his life. After missing a winter of sport following his operation (手术),
the Australian young man gave it a try.
By 14, Milton was skiing in his first international competition (国际比赛), the 1988 Winter Olympic
Games at Innsbruck, Austria. Just four years on, he became Australia's first gold medal (金牌) winner in France.
But trying to make a living from the sport he loved seemed to be a far more icy matter. For year, Milton
had to do his best to make ends meet, mending cars, working as a gardener and in ski shops. At one point he
was so poor that he needed to win a place in an American skiing competition to win enough money for the plane
ticket home.
But the skier who can hold his own in able-bodied speed-skiing events, thinks overcoming (克服) low
public expectations of what people with disabilities (残疾) can do is a greater obstacle (障碍) than being poor.
It's a problem that he is meeting with all the time.
He says most people with disabilities don't want to be treated differently than others. "It's the environment
around you that helps you to try. My biggest goal is to raise (提高) the expectations of the public as to what
people with disabilities can do."
Milton has won 10 Olympic and 11 world championship (锦标赛) medals and in April last year became
the world's first disabled person to ski at more than 200 km/h, reaching a surprising 210.4 km/h. His next goal
is the record of 212.26 km/h held by Australia's fastest able-bodied skier, Nick Kirshner. He'll then be the fastest
Australian skier ever.1. When did Michael Milton win his first gold medal? [ ] A. In 1988.
B. When he was fourteen.
C. In 1992.
D. 8 years after his operation.2. What is the biggest problem Milton met with in life? [ ] A. He has lost one of his legs because of bone cancer.
B. It's difficult for him to make the ends meet.
C. People don't believe what the disabled can do.
D. It's impossible for him to ski with the able-bodied.3. Milton really wants _________ by skiing. [ ] A. to become the fastest skier in Australia
B. to show he is different from other skiers
C. to help other disabled people stand up
D. to make the public give up wrong ideas4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? [ ] A. Milton is skiing for not only himself but also any disabled person.
B. Milton will give up skiing after he reaches more than 212.26 km/h.
C. Few people think that Milton's dream will come true in the end.
D. Thanks to Milton's work, the public environment has become better.根据短文内容填入适当的单词，使短文的意思完整，每格只准填写一个英语单词，要求单词开头的第一个字母与所给的字母相同。 The programmes Sun Xiaomei hosts (主持) migh

阅读下面材料，根据材料内容从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 Charles Chaplin, who died in 1977, is regarded as one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of
the cinema. During his lifetime, he acted in 13 films, and he wrote, directed (导) and acted in 69 other films.
Chaplin was born in London in 1889. When he was a poor boy, he was often seen waiting outside the
London theatres, hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he could make
people laugh. But he couldn't get work, so he wandered (徘徊) about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent
away to a home for children who had no parents.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five. He broke into show business because his mother, a music-
hall performer, lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage, and Charlie went on and sang
a well-known song. Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage. Charlie stopped
singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song. The audiences laughed. This
was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin's comedy (喜剧) life.
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world. His dream
came true in the end. Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent. The
machine for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a
problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues. Instead, he continued to make films
without dialogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. It isn't what he says that makes us laugh. His
comedy doesn't depend on (依靠) words. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people all
over the world.
Chaplin's later films, however, were not well received. Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the
last years in Switzerland, where he was buried (被埋葬) at Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There
was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book, Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life. He says, "You have to believe in yourself. That's the
secret."1. What does the underlined word "stage" mean in the passage? [ ] A. It's a special time that something reaches while it grows or develops.
B. It's one of the parts in the process (过程) of something.
C. It's the raised area in a theatre which actors or singers stand on when they perform.
D. It's a place or an area of activity where something important happens.2. Chaplin is regarded as a king of comedy mainly because __________. [ ] A. he knew how to make people laugh
B. he could sing and dance well
C. he acted out the common human situations best in his comedy
D. lots of people have seen his films3. The only secret of Charles Chaplin's great success is that ___________. [ ] A. he can make all people, men and women, old and young laugh
B. he has full trust in himself
C. he is always active and hard-working all his life
D. though he is always in trouble, he never loses heart4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? [ ] A. He was too shy to meet the managers of the theatres.
B. People won't stop laughing until tears run down Chaplin's face.
C. He wouldn't like to work at the theatre.
D. People all over the world can enjoy Chaplin's films without translation because most of them are silent.先通读下面短文，掌握其大意,然后根据短文内容和所给首字母，在空格内填入一个适当的词,使短文意思完整。所给单词在题后横线上必须完整写出。 Did you watch the magic show

thirteen years, but he lived every moment of his life to the fullest. 1 At the age of three, the disease
killed his brothers. From then on, he began writing poetry (诗) about love, peace and value of life. 2
In 2001, Mattie's first book of poetry Heartsongs was published. 3 In the next few years he wrote
four other books of poetry Journey Through Heartsongs, Hope Through Heartsongs, Celebrate Through
Heartsongs and Loving Through Heartsongs. And more than one million copies were sold. Mattie became

阅读理解。 Kong Linghui, the Chinese former (前) table tennis genius who claimed gold metals for ping pong at
three world-level events, said during his career (一生事业) that he had two wishes: to be an "ever-green
tree" in the table tennis field; and to contribute to the Olympic Games in his homeland.
One of those wishes is soon to come true. On the morning of October 18 last year the Chinese champion,
who won the World Table Tennis Championships, Table Tennis World Cup, and Olympic Games, boarded
a bus to the table tennis training base in Zhengding, Hebei Province. He was about to spend his 31st birthday
as coach of the Chinese women's ping pong team for the Beijing Olympic Games.
A week earlier Kong had made an emotional announcement that he was retiring. "I really don't want to
drop my ping pong bat," he said, before following with the news about his new coaching role, to a burst of
applause (掌声).
"I'm so excited and this applause gives me great encouragement to switch from a player to a coach," he
added.
"It's still hard for the young table tennis players in Sweden to surpass (超过) the veteran Waldner if they
want to continue their career, but it's not the same here in China, where young ping pong talents keep
popping up and overtaking the old generation."
The game of table tennis first appeared in the Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988. Since then China has
claimed 11 gold medals, and in many Chinese fans' eyes nothing but first place is good enough. It is a
position that puts a huge amount of pressure on Kong as he prepares the women's team for 2008.
"I think he's going to be a good coach based on his presence and glorious past achievements. He's going
to make a difference in the Beijing Games," said Liu Guoliang, one of Kong's ex-teammates and now coach
of the national men's team.
Kong's father is also a table tennis coach. He started playing ping pong when he was 6 years old. During
his 25-year career Kong produced many memorable moments of table tennis brilliance, of which two
definitely deserve mentioning.
One was in 1995, when the 20-year-old Kong won his first men's singles title in gripping style at the
World Table Tennis Championships. Another was at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 when he defeated
Swedish star Waldner by a tiny margin (差距) and then kissed the Chinese national flag printed on his
T-shirt, howled and burst into tears.
Kong's story cannot be told without mentioning Liu Guoliang, who is one year younger, but was already
lead coach for the Chinese men's team when Kong took on his new role. They met each other for the first
time at the national training camp for juniors at the end of 1987.
In the round robin of the team Liu defeated Kong. Rather than turning Kong against Liu, his defeat
brought the pair closer and they worked together vowing to some day become world champions.
In 1995 Kong beat Liu in the male singles final at the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships. Stepping
down from the winner's platform, Kong shook hands with Liu and said to him that competition is cruel, on
which Liu agreed. It marked the beginning of a friendly rivalry between the close friends that lasted years.1. Kong Linghui will act as a ______ for China in 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. [ ] A. player
