Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group. “I dont often talk with my parents or grand-parents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Foxs Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.” QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A recorder from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that four million people used it one Saturday night in October. And probably Foxs Shadow was one of them. “I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting on-line every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.” 20080504 Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You dont know who youre talking to.

Foxs Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together. A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ uses. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because Ive got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money. “If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you cant give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.” 41.

These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympics will not be taking part. She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson. Born with spine bifida which left her paralysed from the waist down, Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back. Indeed, Tannis athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games. In 1998, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 meters. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona. Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 meters relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved she first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories. Tannis enduring success had been part motivation, part preparation, “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter(短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to see. I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.” Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series of Paralympics- a top lever athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records. What advice does she have for young athletes? “Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again.” 49. Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen? A. Basketball B. Swimming. C. Tennis. D. Horse-riding. 50. When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal? A. In 1984. B. In 1988. C. In 1992. D. In 2007. 51.

Never too late to learn. C. Well begun is half done. D. No pain, no gain. D Four months before Crown Prince Felipe says “si” (“yes” in Spanish) to television journalist Letizia Ortiz, a royal wedding fever is gripping Spain. Shops are offering the biggest variety of wedding souvenirs, from plates and bottle-openers to copies of the couples engagement ring. The couple have made only a few carefully staged public appearances to reduce the scrutiny (仔细检查). Spanish people waited for more than a decade for the 36-year-old son of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia to find a suitable bride. And more important, the May 22 wedding will be a landmark event in other ways. Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, 31, is the daughter of a nurse and a journalist. So, she will be the first commoner on a throne once occupied by Queen Isabella, who sent Christopher Columbus to the Americas. The pretty, elegant former news anchor (主持人)will also become Spains first home-grown queen in more than a century. The lively and professionally accomplished Letizia has been welcomed by Spanish people as a new type of queen for a modern monarchy. Spanish people were accustomed to seeing her in television news broadcasts and she arouses tremendous curiosity. Journalists are investigating even the most ordinary aspects of her past which resembles that of so many other young Spanish professional women. Spanish people have also taken note that she tried to interrupt the prince when they talked to the press after getting engaged in November. “Let me talk,“ she told the heir to the Bourbon throne. Such behavior is regarded as understandable in a woman who went to Mexico by herself at age 23 and later reported on the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Iraq war for state television TVE. Her strong character, frankness and critical mind could also be disadvantages for a royal who is rarely expected to speak her mind, reporters have said. The palace has struggled to protect her from scrutiny and to give her time to adapt to her new role. 54. By saying “a royal wedding fever” (Line2, Para.1), the author means “_”. A. a lot of royal weddings follow B. the Spanish people are surprised at the royal wedding C. the royal wedding makes a stir in the whole country D. the royal wedding becomes a fashion 55. The most important reason why royal wedding causes such a great interest is that_. A. a commoner is married into a royal family B. the prince finally finds his bride C. a famous TV journalist gets married D. the wedding is expensive 56. Letizia used to be a news anchor who was _. A. world-famous B. frank C. serious D. capable 57. Letizias interruption of the prince when they talked to the press was most probably motivated by her_. A. curiosity B. politeness C. outspokenness D. rudeness 58. The difficulty for Letizia to fit in the royal life may lie in _. A. how to meet the requirements of the Queen B. how to change her character to fit in the royal family C. how to continue her career after marriage D. how to face her former audience as a princess 第 II 卷 （共 34 分） 第一节：单词拼写 （共 6 小题; 每小题 1 分，满分 6 分） 根据下列句子及所给单词的首字母，在答题纸上按题号写出各单词正确的形式 （每空限填一词） 。 59.
