Athens Olympic 110m hurdle champion Liu Xiang felt so relieved to return to racetrack after getting out of the great number of social activities.

Liu arrived in hometown Shanghai Wednesday night and was about to resume training shortly after.

“I am so exhausted from so many social activities, which made me even more tired than traini ng,” said the 21-year-old Liu, who wrote a new chapter in China’s Olympic history by winning the country’s first ever athletics short-distance running title in the men’s 110m hurdles in Athens in August.

“I am happy that I will resume my training soon back in Shanghai,” said the Shanghai native. He turned into an instant national hero with the Olympic glory and one of the most popular Olympic gold medalists, taking part in scores of celebration activities since he returned to China early September.

“My regular training has been interrupted for such a long time that I think I can only run at about seconds now,” said Liu, who clocked a world record-tying time of to clinch the title.

“I would rather forget what I have achieved in the past and try my best to realize a higher goal,” he said.

Liu already missed the Berlin Golden League Series on Sunday and won’t be able to catch the IAAF Grand Prix final slated for September 18-19 in Monaco.

He plans on attending an IAAF all-star tournament in Japan at the end of this month.

Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal their souls, to vent(发泄), and even to gossip.

Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (暂停) because on their blogs they posted threatening words to their teachers.

Recent surveys found that nearly a fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online journals.

With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be engaged in blogging.

In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later. To minimize (减少) the negative effect, change the permission setting and make such posts “private” so that only you can read them.

As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.

60. Blogs are the place where people _________.

A. go online to have a chat

B. go online to enjoy freedom

C. go online to express themselves freely

D. exchange their views online

61. The fact that some American students got suspensions is used to show that ________.

A. people should be careful with what they write

B. people should not put their life online

C. American students are limited in blogging

D. anyone who has access to the Web has his blog

62. The underline word “rational” in the fifth paragraph probably means _________.

A. strange

B. perfect

C. helpful

D. reasonable

63. The passage is mainly about _________.

A. the number of people who have blogs

B. the use people make of blogs

C. advantages and disadvantages of blogs

D. the author’s suggestions about blogging

C

Read a whole book in English? Me?

Yes, you. Believe it or not, that may be easier than you think. Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So you’re not limited to the simplified versions (版本). And the easier books are not all for children.

Books in their original versions may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment(成就).

The key is to find the right books. Let’s take a look at these.

The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe

Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures.

The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund, one of the children, fails under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Asian, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who serve her.

The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)

Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasn’t caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing(痛苦的) three-day battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish…

Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb (高质量的；极好的) story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.

A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleing Lingle)

Meg’s father, a . government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.

Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space. Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too late?

This novel is more than just a science-fiction adventure. It’s an exploration of the nature of our universe.

The Pearl (John Steinbeck)

One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead, it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. “No,” says Kino. “I will have my chance. I am a man.” But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.

This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.

The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls wilder)

It’s winter, 1880―1881, on America’s northern prairies(大农场). Mr. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.

This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.

64. In the passage, the author intends to ______.

A. recommend a few simplified versions of classics

B. recommend a few original versions of classics

D

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit (学分) which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester (学期). A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably take four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

For every course that he follows, a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective(预期的) employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm (热情). The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities (权威). Any student who is thought to have broken rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

68. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes per week.

A. 36

B. 12

C. 20

69. According to the first passage an American student is allowed ______.

A. to live in a different university

B. to take a particular course in a different university

C. to live at home and drive to classes

D. to get two degrees from two different universities

70. American students are usually under pressure of work because ______.

A. their academic performance will affect their future careers

B. they are heavily involved in student affairs

C. they have to observe university discipline

D. they want to run for positions of authoring

71. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because_____.

A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study

B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university

C. such positions help them get better jobs

D. such positions are usually well paid

To son, Cecil,

Just a quick note preface(前言) before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主义). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

72. The writer of the letter may be ______.

A. an American soldier in the battle field

B. an American policeman

C. a soldier in the Vietnam War

D. a postman working far away from home

A. wife

B. son

C. daughter

D. sister

A. they both experienced the Vietnam War

B. their fathers had to leave their children and fight abroad because of the war

C. they used to study in the same school

D. they were both eight when the fathers had to leave them

75. We can infer that ______.

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular with Chinese high school students. Tens of thousands of them have gone to foreign countries to study. Many more are trying their best to go abroad. As for this, different people have different opinions.

There are many advantages in studying abroad. First, students who study abroad can make friends with people of different cultures. Second, they can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Still, they can improve their foreign languages more quickly.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Moreover, being far away from their motherland, they may feel lonely and homesick./ miss their families. And further, the high cost is also a problem for common families .

In my opinion, it is advisable to take as many things into consideration .They can ask teachers or students who have studied abroad for advice and they should try to get everything ready before attending school abroad.
