But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story. It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire. But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing. 26. The underlined part in the first paragraph may mean _. A. I get tired of learning my subjects B. I fail to listen to lessons attentivelyC. I go in the wrong direction of life D. I wouldnt like to go to school 27. The neighbors called the police because _. A. the old man kept begging money from them every day B. there was something dangerous in the old mans houseC. the old man wouldnt buy tickets for the train D. they couldnt bear the smell from the old mans house 28. When the old man knew he was a millionaire, he _. A. remained calm B. became excited C. felt worried D. became nervous 29. What lesson do we learn from the story? A. Make great plans for your life. B. Keep on doing what you like. C. Do something that is good to society. D. Depend on yourself rather than others. B The subject of this years Kunming International Expo(博览会) is “man and nature walking hand in hand into the 21st Century”. When the UK was asked to take part, it seemed natural to build a garden. Now the British Garden will be a central part when 英语部分第4页(共8页) Expo opens on May 1. David Patterson , the Curator(馆长) of the Department of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, is leading the team now putting the finishing couches to the gardenThe Royal Botanic Gardens were chosen for a very good reason. They have the largest collection of Chinese plants in the world outside China. “Ever since people in Britain started gardening for pleasure they have used Chinese plants,” Patterson told English Corner. “There are probably Chinese flowers in nearly every garden in Britain. This is a good chance to give something back.” The garden has been carefully designed to mix traditional(传统) British skills with the local Chinese environment. David Patterson describes the garden as “formal but gentle”. It contains a raised flower bed, a summer house and a lot of local trees. The garden is contained behind a wall of local, yellow stone. It is intended to be a place of serious thinking and quiet enjoyment. “You could say that weve painted a picture,” said David Patterson. “And we have designed the garden to continue for a long time, so that the people of Kunming will be able to enjoy it long after the Expo is over.” 30.

But they are not really stars. They are man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes. The ISS is the biggest satellite(人造卫星) and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there. When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year. Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration(探测). “The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make the life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist. Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China isnt an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it. 34. From the passage we know that _. A. building the ISS is only for scientists to live there B. scientists can do anything they like there C. people can see the Space Station at any time D. sixteen countries are members of the space program 35.

D He had travelled thousands of miles in the hope of earning some money，but 18-year-old Lin Kongming never knew danger was waiting for him. He and six other migrant workers from Fujian Province spent 36 hours in Iraq as international hostages（人质）.But luckily，they were set free last Tuesday morning，unharmed by the people who had taken them hostage. After hard work by Chinese diplomats（外交官）in the region , the Iraqi kidnappers（绑架者）agreed to hand them over to a local religious group.“The friendly relations between the Chinese and Iraqi peoples have played a key role in the release of the hostages,”said Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan.China refused to join the US-led coalition（联军）in the Iraq war. Since April 4，over 60 hostages from 12 countries，including America，Italy and Japan，have been taken in Iraq.Some have been released,others were killed. The Iraqi resistance groups have started taking foreigners hostage in an attempt to force the US-led troops out of their country.As a result，many foreigners have left，fearing the situation will get worse.Some nations are also considering removing their troops from Iraq.Thailand has ordered its forces not to leave their camp and may bring them home before September as originally planned.New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark is considering similar action.

Wearing gloves to protect their hands, they filled a garbage bag with everything from fishing lines and dirty plastic bottles to old grocery bags. The girls, and about 150 others volunteered in the International Coastal Cleanup, an event that raises the awareness(意识) of the importance of keeping the worlds waterways and oceans clean. The cleanup was organized by the Ocean Conservancy that works to protect ocean animals and their homes. Unfortunately, a lot of trash never goes into a trash can. It blows on the wind, and travels down streams and rivers to the sea. Trash isnt just ugly it can be dangerous for creatures that live in the water. Every year, plastic trash like old fishing equipment, shopping bags, and food wrappers (包装) kills one million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles. Sometimes these animals get tangled up (纠缠) in garbage and die. Sometimes they eat trash that chokes (使窒息) or poisons them. Sea turtles, for example, mistake plastic bags for the jellyfish (海蜇) they love to eat. At the Anacostia River, Cammy helped the volunteers pick up 2,380 pounds of trash in just a few hours along three miles of shoreline. “When you hear about a coastal cleanup, you think it unpleasant, you have to pick up trash,” says Cammy. “But then you get there and find out it is actually fun! I liked meeting all the other people and helping out the environment.” This one-day event has an important message for 365 days of the year: “We are all connected to the ocean. You can help keep the ocean clean by putting trash in the right place. Take the extra time to put your snack wrapper in the garbage can instead of throwing it on the ground, and recycle everything you can,” says Sonia Besteiro of the Ocean Conservancy. 42. What was Cammy doing on the shores of the Anacostia River? A. She was picking up trash to keep waterways clean. B. She was playing with her big sister and a friend. C. She was fishing for sea turtles in the river. D. She was washing dirty plastic bottles and old grocery bags. 43. What does Cammy think of the coastal cleanup? A. Dirty. B. Fun. C. Dangerous. D. Unpleasant. 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. The cleanup was organized by Cammy. B. The cleanup will last 365 days. C. Sonia is a member of the Ocean Conservancy. D. There are 150 girl volunteers in the organization. 45. The main idea of this passage is to _.
