The Beijing municipal government has stepped up efforts to provide an efficient, safe and quick transportation system for the 2008 Olympic Games through planned special transport lines connecting Olympic venues(赛场) with the city external and internal routes.

It is estimated that Beijing will receive a maximum of 1.2 million people per day at Olympic venues during the 15-day competition period.

The transportation lines will mainly depend on a special transportation circle for the Olympics and several other main streets in Beijing. The circle consists of parts of the fourth and fifth ring roads and their connecting roads.

Beijing will provide a special bus service and free public transport services to athletes, coaches and judges. Olympic officials and other honored guests will receive free car services.

As part of the transport layout, the public transport system, especially the urban railway, is the priority project under construction. The length of the urban railway will reach over 100 kilometers later this month with the opening to traffic of the western section of the No. 13 Line.

In an effort to speed up the development of public transport, new subway lines totaling 126 kilometers will be constructed from the current 63 kilometers.

Among the planned urban railway lines, a high-speed 23 kilometer line will be constructed in the future to connect urban Beijing with the Capital International Airport, which is the first stop for most athletes and visitors to the 2008 Games.

36．To make its transportation system more effective, Beijing is ___________.

A．replacing the city’s old transporta tion routes

B．combining new lines with existing ones

C．building all the Olympic stadiums close together

D．designing a system considered unusual in the world

37．The main transportation lines for the Olympics will include ___________.

A．all the streets and roads in the city

Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over $ 30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is an international pop superstar with not only $ 30 million but also a $ 2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially all her life.

This year is a big year for Britney, she is currently on a 31 date tour of the US and every concert is a sell out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings great rewards. When touring, she goes to bed at around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生哲学) is to take care of the body and be relaxed but always make sure you work hard and have fun.

Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records, so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Powers 3” in 2002 and she filmed a teenage comedy that was released in 2003. In this movie, she had a starring role. The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer.

In spite of the fact that she has not enjoyed the same popularity as a pop singer so far, she insists on trying more roles. For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all. If her movies are successful, her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love, not for money.

40．Tickets for Britney’s concert are ________.

A．booked in groups B．too expensive

C．not available D．all sold

41．The underlined wo rd “you” in the second paragraph refers to _______.

A．a person in general B．a particular person

C．Britney herself only D．the reader

42．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Though young, Britney is a superstar both on the stage and screen.

B．While touring, Britney is so tired that she has to sleep more than usual.

C．The teenage comedy was based on Britney’s own ideas.

D．Britney will be even more wealthy with her movies successful.

43．According to Britney Spears，she works _______.

A．to be a great actress B．for the enjoyment

C．to be more famous D．for the love of singing

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 7-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.

"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

"That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.

"If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour. "

"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"

The father was curious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. "

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?' He asked.

"No, daddy, I’m awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man,“It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation(恼怒) on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you, daddy!" He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some crumpled-up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father shouted.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. "

44. How many times does the story mention that the father was not happy?

A. Only once.

B. Twice at most.

C. Three times in all.

D. Four times in total.

45. The main idea of the passage is .

A. how much money the father can make each hour

B. children need something more than money

A. he was ready to give the money to his son

B. he wanted to know why his son needed the money

C. he was very sorry for his rudeness and anger

D. he was a little scared that the son had shut the door

47. From this story we may draw the conclusion that .

A. the father couldn't believe that his son was so clever in getting the money

B. the father must have regretted for not having stayed with the family often

C. the son got the money and planned to buy the toy that he had dreamed of

D. the son saved the money so that his father would have dinner at home

D

Keeping good records

Everything’s easier if you’re organized.

“Running a house is a lot like running a business,” says Stephanie Denton, an expert organizer in Cincinnati, Ohio. To get a successful control of organizing papers, bills, and other materials, Denton suggests the following tips:

Create a place in which you can always do your paperwork. This is perhaps the most important point of a successful system. If you can’t devote an entire desk to the task,at least buy a file cart to store active paperwork and a two drawer file cabinet（橱柜）for family records. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.

When in doubt, throw it out. The first step to operate a workable filing system is to remove paper you don’t use, don’t need, or that yo u could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out old lists, and all of the mailings or offerings you’ll never have a chance to use or even read.

Set aside two days a month to pay bills. If a monthly due date doesn’t fit into your cycle, call up the bank or company that you owe money to and suggest a more convenient date. Keep two folders at front of your system for present bills (one to each bill-paying day) and file all incoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in case the bill never arrives or gets misplaced.

Think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can vary to fit your changing needs. A good filing system is both mentally and physically adaptable. Everyone’s needs are di fferent, says Denton, but when designing a filing system, ask yourself: “Where would I look for this?” Create main headings for your filing system, such as Investments(投资), Taxes, Children, and so on, and file separate folders under the main headings. Never fill your files with too many things.

48．Which of the following tips does authors give?

A．Removing some papers unless you are in doubt.

B．Creating main headings for each paper.

C．Keeping all incoming bills in a folder.

D．Buying a file cart for storing all files.

49．In the passage, the author clearly wants to help people .

A．try to make file cabinets tidy and clean

B．carry out an effective filing system

C．know the tips of running their business

D．learn to deal with the materials successfully

50．The underlined word in the last paragraph means .

A．fixed B．active C．special D．useless 51．Among the following main headings, you will probably fine “Kindergarten records” under .

A．Investments. B．Taxes. C．Children. D．Folders.

When your grandfather was a boy, he probably took your grandmother to an ice-cream parlor(小售货亭). Here, for a little more than a dime (ten cents), he could treat the young lady to an ice-cream soda, a sundae, a malted milk, or some other delightful dessert. Probably, the ice-cream parlor was situated in a corner of a drugstore. There were containers of many kinds of sweet liquid. The person behind the counter was the master of such delightful combination of ingredients as the brown cow, a root-beer soda with ice-cream floating in it.

The name soda water tells something of its origins in US. Naturally carbonated(含二氧化碳的) water flows out of the ground in mineral springs around the world. These mineral springs have long attracted

people in search of a cure for some ills. Then in 1767, the scientist Joseph Priestley created the first soda water not taken from natural mineral springs. Soon other experimenters were finding new ways to create the bubbly(冒气泡的) water that is the basis of so many soft drinks. In 1825, Elias Durand decided to catch the public interest in sparkling waters. He opened a drugstore in Philadelphia that served carbonated water, at that time still considered a helpful medicine.

A few years later, another Philadelphian, Eugene Roussel, decided to bottle soda water of different tastes. His first offering was a popular lemon soda, sold at the fountain of his perfume shop. Other manufacturers entered the race, and new tastes were introduced. Meanwhile, at soda fountains, adventurous owners added sweet cream to make the drink more appetizing.

Then came one of the most important events in the history of soda water. In October 1874 at the semi-centennial celebration of Philadelphia's Franklin Institute, a salesman named Robert Green sold so many soda-water drinks with cream that he ran out of cream. He rushed to a nearby shop to buy some straw-berry ice cream. He planned to melt the ice-cream and use it as cream. His customers were too thirsty to wait, and so he put the ice-cream right into the soda water. The ice-cream soda was born. It has never lost its popularity.

Not far away, Charles E. Hires was experimenting with selling dried roots, bark, herbs, and flowers for making a drink he called root beer. He also made his own. By 1892, more than two million bottles of his soft drink were being sold annually. Then came a host of other drinks. Moxie, Dr. Pepper, and Coca-Cola. When the drink-business society in the 1890s forbade the sale of alcohol, the soft-drink market exploded.

The soft-drink market today is a huge business, with many competitors pushing their products on television and in newspapers and magazines. There are still many fast-food places where ice-cream sodas may be ordered. In every corner of the land there are machines pouring out soft-drinks. But the old-time ice-cream parlor in a corner of a drugstore is largely a thing of the past.

52. According to this passage, the ice-cream soda was born .

A. through the genius of Charles E. Hires

B. in a drugstore in Philadelphia

C. in the year of 1825

D. quite by accident

53. The underlined sentence "the soft-drink market exploded" means that .

A. Americans preferred fast-food shops to ice cream parlors

B. soft drinks were suddenly more popular than ever

C. only certain kinds of soda were getting popular

D. the sale of soft drinks was gradually falling off

54. The best title of this passage could be .

A. The Reason Why the Soft-drink Industry Is Popular in US

B. The Invention and Development of Carbonated Water

C. The Ice-cream Parlor and the History of Soda Water

D. The Key Moment in the Production of Soda Water

55. The author of this passage would probably .

A. feel unhappy with Robert Greene's actions

B. prefer lemon soda to root beer

C. hope for a job advertising soft drinks

D. like to see ice-cream parlors return
