It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and most challenging of all time.Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay everthree of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak（峰顶）several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2020,” he added.The special torch is different form the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.41.

What would be the best title for the text?A. One world, one dream B. Relay reaches its highest pointC. Qomolangma, the highest summit in the world D. The special torch and the brave torchbearers45. Where can you read about this passage?A. In the English textbook.B. In the newspaper.C. In the science report.D. On the street wall.BTo an outsider, Qinqiang Opera may sound harsh and exaggerative (夸张的). But many people from Northwest China just cant live without it. “In my hometown, when a baby is born, the family holds a dinner party and invites a Qinqiang troupe to perform. When a person dies, the family also invites a Qinqiang troupe to perform at the funeral. Qinqiang is what we hear first and last in this world,” says Liu Xiang, a 32-year-old accountant from Shanxi.Chang Zhimo, a 57-year-old engineer from Gansu, believes the opera transmits positive morals generation by generation from ancient times till modern times. “Babies sing along with adults and learn such lessons as good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil from Qinqiang,” Chang saysYun Shizhong, a 62-year-old retired librarian from Qinghai Province, believes the musical form appeals to ordinary people. “Qinqiang is about the life of the poor, and it is performed in their own way,” Yun says. “It provides them an opportunity to release their depressive feelings. When a character in Qinqiang Opera is sad, he would beat his chest and howl.” Liu, Yun and Chang all believed something was missing from their lives after they moved to Beijing until they discovered the Great Qin Opera Youth Society of Beijing. Founded in 2020, the society is the only Qinqiang organization in the capital. The society is made up of about 40 members who came from Northwest China and work in various fields in Beijing. Aside from its elderly band members, most of the singers are in their 20s and 30s.In 2020, a group of Qinqiang fans met through the China Qinqiang Net website (www. qinqiang. com) and came up with the idea of forming a Qinqiang troupe in Beijing. And on November 7, 2020, the Great Qin Opera Youth Society of Beijing was founded. Since then, the members have been studying and practicing Qinqiang every Sunday without taking a day off. And rather than taking a break over the May Day and National Day golden weeks, they instead met twice a week.Yun came to Beijing to live with his daughter after retirement. A lover of Qinqiang since his childhood, he did not have much time to be up to it when working in Qinhai. To enrich Yuns life in Beijing, his daughter found the Great Qin Opera Youth Society on the Internet.46By saying “many people from Northwest China just cant live without it”, the author means _.AQinqiang Opera is an essential part of their life Bthey are native to Northwest ChinaCQinqiang Opera is native to Northwest China DQinqiang Opera is the best47The underlined word “transmits” in the 2nd paragraph roughly means_.Atransports Babsorbs Cpasses down Dsums48Which of the following is TRUE about Qinqiang?._AIt is a comedy BIt is a tragedy CIt is an opera of the poor DIt is a modern opera49.

Qinqiang Opera Fans C Welcome to my Message Board!Subject: Slimming down classics?Mr.Handsome2020-5-126: 34 AMOrion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at 6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions. Mr.Edwards2020-5-129: 40 AMWell, Im publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome. I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but its not as if were withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.Ms. Weir2020-5-1211:35 AMIm director of the online book club www.lovereading.co.uk.Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. Im guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because its just so long. Id much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!Mr.Crockatt2020-5-124:38 PMIm from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? Im afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people dont have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But dont read a shortened version and kid yourself its the real thing. 51. According to the message board, Orion Books . A. opposes the reading of original classics B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future D. is cautions in its decision to cut down classics52. In Mr. Edwards opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to . A. make them easier to read B. meet a large demand in the market C. increase the sales of literary books D. compete with their original versions 53. By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”, Ms. Weir . A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics B. shows her love for original classics C. feels guilty of not reading the classics D. disapprove of shortening the classics54. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that . A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt B. shortening the classics does harm to the original C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job D. editing the classic works satisfies childrens needs55. How many classics are involved in the massage board?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。以下是儿童读物的信息：A.
