The purpose of the youth clubs was to teach children life skills such as teamwork, science and maths. Setting up youth clubs in Nigeria was a beautiful experience. I got to help other people and learn about Nigerian culture.I discovered there is a wide variety of food in Nigeria. Nigerian food has a lot of flavor（味道）and colour. Rice, beans, and meat are main food items. The most common meats are goat, chicken, beef and pork. As well as wearing Western clothing, such as jeans and T-shirts, Nigerians also wear traditional clothing. Traditional clothing is bold with bright colours, eye-catching patterns and unique shapes. Nigerians wear traditional clothing on Fridays and Sundays, and for special occasions such as weddings. Nigerians either make the clothes themselves or get them made at a tailors.The official language in Nigeria is English. English was introduced to Nigeria when Nigeria became part of the British Empire in 1901. English is mainly spoken in big cities. Outside of these cities people speak lots of other languages. In fact, there are over 521 languages that have been spoken in Nigeria. These languages came from different ethnic （民族的）groups. There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria. The most popular languages are Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. There is also Nigerian Pidgin. Pidgin means simplified language that developed between two or more ethnic groups that did not have a language in common. Nigerian Pidgin includes a mixture of different languages but mainly draws from the English language.25. What did the author set up youth clubs in Nigeria for?A. To make much money.B. To teach children English.C. To teach children life skills.D. To experience different cultures.26. What does the author think of volunteering in Nigeria?A. Impossible B. Various C. Excellent D. Practical 27. What does the underlined word “bold” in the third paragraph mean?A. Not shy.B. Dangerous.C. Clearly visible.D. Confident and brave.28. What language can be spoken most probably among the groups with different languages?A. Hausa B. Igbo C. English D. Pidgin CBeijing unveiled the slogan for the 2008 Olympics as far back as 2005. “One World, One Dream” was finally selected from more than 210,000 entries from around the world.Beijings original bid to host the 2008 games had a different slogan “New Beijing, Great Olympics”. The organizers felt the new slogan shifted the focus nicely from the city of Beijing itself to the spirit of the Olympics unity, friendship amongst nations and progress.It was also felt that the “One World, One Dream” slogan captured the traditional Chinese values of peace and harmony.The Olympics hasnt always had a slogan attached to each host country. In fact it wasnt until 1988 at the Seoul Olympics in South Korea that the first slogan appeared. “Harmony and Progress” was chosen and it seems to have been a popular theme over the years.In 1992, the Barcelona Olympics adopted the slogan “Friends Forever”, reflecting the idea of friendship between the participating nations.The Atlanta Olympics in 1996 claimed their Olympics was “The Celebration of a Century”, celebrating the fact that the first modern Olympic games was held one hundred years, a century, before that in 1896.As that first Olympics took place in Athens in Greece, it seemed only fitting that the 2004 Olympics in Greece had the slogan “Welcome Home”. The Olympics had returned to its birthplace.It is thought that the Olympics started to adopt slogans to help their communication campaigns and to make each Olympics unique in its aims.International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge praised the Beijing Organising Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games, saying the idea behind the games is to promote peace and understanding through sport. He believes the “One World, One Dream” slogan reflects that idea perfectly.29. Whats the meaning of “One World, One Dream”?A. Welcome Home.B. Friends Forever.C. Harmony and Progress.D. Peace and Harmony.30. When was the first modern Olympic games held?A. 1996 B. 1896 C. 2004 D. 2008 31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Olympic Games.B. Olympic Future.C. Olympic Slogans.D. Olympic History.DWhy do we always want to go faster when talking about travel? We want our cars, trains and planes to get us to places more quickly. This century, theres been a rise in high-speed rail travel as people have seen the benefits of this form of transport.Spain recently joined the railway revolution with its AVE ultra-modern high-speed train that has a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour. Its service from Madrid to Barcelona took 20% of passengers away from Spains national airline. In Japan, a magnetic train is being developed that will run at 500 kilometers per hour. Britain has one high-speed line from London to France - HS1, but now it is planning to construct a new line called HS2 which will connect London with the north of England. The UK governments transport secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, says it is essential to make sure that the great cities are actually connected and people get the right benefits.But not everyone agrees. The idea of fast train travel may appeal（有吸引力）but not if its going to be built in your backyard. Its causing disagreement and people are arguing over the benefits and cost of having shorter journey time and less traffic on the roads. John Kelleher, who is a farmer and lives on the proposed site of the new line, says that the government is not considering the amount that HS2 will destroy on its construction and route through the countryside. Some people are worried the financial and environmental cost will be too high to save just half an hour on a journey.But other countries have shown that high-speed rail is good for the economy. It has helped poorer parts of the country, reduced the need to fly and has made train travel cool. For me, theres nothing better than drinking a cold beer and watching the world go by from the comfort of a train seat. In fact if its that good, what is the rush?!32. What kind of transport has been more and more popular with travelers in this century?A. The car. B. The slow train. C. The plane.D. The high-speed rail. 33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Patrick McLoughlin is against the construction of HS2.B. The magnetic train in Japan now runs at a speed of 500 k/h.C. The high-speed train in Spain has affected the national airline.D. Britain has built two high-speed lines from London to France.34. Whats mainly talked about in the third paragraph?A. The construction of HS2.B. The popularity of the high-speed rail.C. The development of the high-speed rail.D. The disadvantages of the high-speed rail.35. Which of the following it Not True about high-speed rail?A. It can help poorer parts of a country develop rapidly.B. It can save some fare for peoples journey.C. It has a bad effect on the animals along the way.D. It can make a journey cool.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。（每小题2分,共10分）My family moved to a small farm when I was about four. 36 Their daughter, Linda, was a year younger than me and we quickly became best friends, as well as our parents. _37_ I learned about the word “nigger”（黑鬼）on the school bus - a word I had never heard within my home.
