    Berlin — Germany will allow entry 20,000 foreign high-tech workers, under a plan announced on May 31st. Chancellor(总理) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.
    The plan for this so-called ‘green cards’, not like the US work permit system, came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.
    Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100,000 marks (US$48 000).
    Family members are also allowed, though they too will receive work permits. “They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,” Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France. Germany would be making a mistake if it didn’t take part in this competition.
    He said employers have already offered 11,000 jobs through a “green card hotline” and some 4,700 applications emailed information requests.
    The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended, possibly under current German law. Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens. Since the beginning of this year, foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.
    53. From the first paragraph we can get to know that Germany______.
    A. is a less-developed country                            B. used to be a developed country
    C. is short of high-tech workers                  D. once lost interest in information technology
    54. If a high-tech worker wants to work in Germany, he or she can enter Germany______.
    A. in June      B. after July    C. before August    D. at any time
    55. It is mentioned in the passage that competition in high tech______.
    A. is only in America，Britain and France
    B. has nothing to do with small countries
    C. is weak in Asian countries
    D. will affect the future of a country
    56. To be naturalized as a German, according to this passage, seems______.
    A. difficult    B. easy    C. impossible    D. popular

    New Beijing, Great Olympics
    The 2008 Olympic Games has been the most cheerful and anticipated（预先的） event throughout Beijing ever since Beijing was rewarded the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, yet the focus should be shifted from making a promise to carrying out the promise made.
    　 In my point of view, to bridge the gap between the promise and reality, Beijing still has a long way to go. To begin with, basic-structure construction should be the primary concern. Such basic-structures as communications and transportation system and facilities ought to draw our constant attention. For example, traffic jam has been an age-old headache in Beijing. The scene of long queues of vehicles worming their way inch by inch will surely cause great disorder, and impair the image of the city meanwhile. Next, to add charm to convenience, overall cityplanning is quite necessary. Time permitting, a redesign of city plan and adjustment of architectural style would provide a better environment for cultivating the characteristic, mixing oriental elegance(东方的雅致) with international greatness, will tower aloft(在高处) among surrounding architectures. To achieve such effect, Beijing shall seek opinions from first-rate architects and make an overall plan. Thirdly, quality of the population should be improved. To make an international metropolis, both “hardware” and “software” are important.
    　 However, Rome was not built in a day. To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”, deeds speak louder than words.
    小题1:What does the underlined word “metropolis” in paragraph 2 mean ?
    A．suburbB．small cityC．capital cityD．town
    小题2:Which sentence is not true according to the author’s opinion in the passage?
    A．Beijing has a crowded traffic since a long time ago.
    B．Experts in architecture are also important to the city’s construction.
    C．In order to host the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing has preparations to make in many ways.
    D．Hardware” refers to quality of people in Beijing.
    小题3: How many aspects does the author mention to prepare for the Olympics in Beijing?
    A．two: basic-structure construction and people’s quality
    B．three: basic-structure construction, traffic problem and overall city planning.
    C．two: basic-structure construction and overall city planning
    D．three: basic-structure construction, overall city planning and people’s quality.
    小题4:What can be inferred from the text?
    A．Beijing is going to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
    B．To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”is a long-term work.
    C．Traffic jams will cause a lot of trouble and make people feel sick..
    D．An overall city plan is to make Beijing a city with eastern and western cultures mixed together.

    Earlier this month, the United States Library of Congress named Katherine Paterson the national ambassador for young people’s literature.
    She is only the second person to hold the position. She replaces writer Jon Scieszka,who had served since two thousand eight.
    The librarian of Congress, James Billington, said Miz Paterson “represents the finest in literature for young people”. He spoke of the importance of reading in the lives of America’s young people.Miz Paterson has written more than thirty books. She is among only five writers to have won two Newbery Medals. These are among the most important children’s book awards in the United States.
    “Bridge to Terabithia” won a Newbery Medal in nineteen seventy-seven. Her book “Jacob Have I
    Loved” won the award in nineteen eighty-one.
    Katherine Paterson’s books for children are often quite complex. “Bridge to Terabithia” includes
    adult themes like depression and death. The book has caused debate because of its place on school
    library bookshelves. Some parents think it is too adult for young children. Miz Paterson says the idea
    for the book came from a real life experience. Her son’s best friend died in nineteen seventy-four
    when she was struck by lightening.
    Katherine Paterson is seventy-seven. She began writing as a young mother with three children. But
    she says her interest in writing came as a surprise. As a child she had thought about becoming a
    Christian religious worker in foreign countries like her parents were.
    Katherine Paterson spoke to a gathering of children when she was named ambassador on January
    fifth in Washington. She said: “Read for your life. Read for your life as a member of a family, as a part
    of a community, as a citizen of this country and a citizen of the world.
    1. The Newbery medal is designed for ______.
    A. writers with best books for grown-ups      B. children with best books on adult themes
    C. writers with best books for children        D. children with best books on nature

    A. had bad relations with her parents       B. showed great interest in writing books

    Jan. 7, 2008 --- French President Nicolas Sarkozy would marry his girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni on Feb. 8 or 9, media reported Monday.
    The report said that in December --- less than a month after Sarkozy met Bruni --- he gave her a heart-shaped diamond engagement ring.
    Carla Bruni, Italian singer, former model and girlfriend of France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy, holds the hand of her son Aurelien while wearing a pink heart-shaped ring during a visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008. French newspapers reported that Sarkozy would marry her early in February.
    Sarkozy and his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, divorced in October. Their marital（婚姻）problems became well known in May 2005 when she appeared in public at the side of event organizer Richard Attias.
    A marriage to Bruni, a one-time star of the catwalks who is now a singer, would be Sarkozy’s third: He divorced his first wife, Marie, in the late 80s --- after he had met and befriended Cecilia.
    Political analyst Dominique Moisi said that a Sarkozy proposal to Bruni could be part of his desire to head off any future arguments, and the speed of their visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008 would fit with his personality as a busy man in a hurry.
    “Apparently, he’s going to marry her, so the problem will be behind him,” Moisi said. “He will increase the opportunities to travel with her, and to say to the French, ‘You see, I must remarry… You need a first lady.’”
    Bruni, an Italian-born French citizen, has dated famous men including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump. She has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez.
    53. What is the correct order of Sarkozy’s marital history?
    A. Long marriage to Cecilia                             
    B. Visiting ruins with Bruni
    C. Getting divorced from Marie                        
    D. Giving Bruni a diamond ring
    E. To marry the former supermodel
    A. c-a-b-d-e           B. e-d-c-a-b           C. c-a-d-b-e           D. a-c-d-b-e
    54. What did Moisi really intend to inform the readers?
    A. The president will spend more time staying with Bruni
    B. Sarkozy is good at balancing state and personal affairs
    C. It is not easy for President Sarkozy to seek a new love
    D. It is a doubt whether the marriage would have a bright future
    55. The possible purpose of the last paragraph is to _________
    A. provide some unknown stories about Bruni’s love affairs
    B. show uncertainty about the former supermodel’s loyalty
    C. imply that past experiences have little effect on a person
    D. prove Bruni one of the most popular and attractive females
    56. Which would be the best title for the news?
    A. Bruni, France’s first lady                   
    B. A third marriage to fail
    C. France to have first lady                    
    D. President’s new girl friend

    “Wolf！”
    Lydia Angiyou's five-year-old nephew Paulussie whispered with alarm as he touched her
    arm. At first, she didn't believe him.
    Angiyou, Paulussie, her another newphew Lueassie, also five, and her youngest son Jessie,
    seven, were walking to her mother's house one night last February. Animals were often sighted
    near lvujvik--a village of 274 Inuit on the shore of Hudson Bay--but rarely on its streets.
    The 41-year-old teacher and mother of five turned around. Looking behind her into the
    darkness, at first she thought that Jessie was the wolf. But a meter behind the boy was 350kg
    polar bern -no wolf in sight--standing on the icy road. Jessie turned and saw it, too, then ran,
    screaming, to his mother.
    Angiyou felt a rush of blood to her brain. "Get as far away as you can!" she shouted to the
    boys as she ran towards the bear. She stopped just in front of it, then faced it quiedy. It made a
    move to go around her to get to the boys, who must have seemed like the easier meal.
    But Angiyou moved with the bear to maintain her position blocking the children. Finally she
    got the animal's attention. In response, it rose on its hind legs to its full 2.5m height. The bear
    charged, and knocked her into a seated position. The skin under her nose tore. Falling onto her
    back, she screamed for help and kicked at the animal in a bicycling motion. She soon passed out.
    Sirqualuk Ainalik, a fellow teacher, had been at his brother's house nearby when Jessie
    dashed inside for help. Grabing a rifle, the 33-year-old ran to the road, firing a warning shot into
    the air. He then aimed his gun at the huge bear.
    With two more shots, Ainalik killed the polar bear.
    56. Lydia Angiyou and             children went through the adventure.
    A. two            B. three           C. four            D. five
    57. What's the right order of the following according to the passage?

    58. The following are all right except          
    A. Lydia Angiyou was in her forties

    阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    SINGAPOREAN singer JJ Lam，29，admitted that this March couldn’t be better：He outshined Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou and bagged four awards at the China Original Music Pop Chart Award(中国原创音乐流行榜) ceremony，including the most coveted(最渴望得到的)best male singer title．
    Yet the trophies(奖杯)were only part of an exciting month．Knowing that he has an O1ympic champion fan，Lam was so happy that he prepared his own gifts for Zhou Yang，the speed skating gold medalist：an autographed(签名的)CD and a Mickey Mouse doll．He even invited Zhou to his birthday party on March 26 after Zhou told him that it was a great pity she had had to miss Lam's Beijing concert last year．
    Lam showed his love and talent for music as early as middle school，but it doesn't mean he easily got to where he is now．Like many young men his age，Lam was once hooked(沉迷)on video games．“One in particular，World of Warcraft，obsessed(迷住)me,” he said．“I made up my own stories and characters and once I even composed(编曲)a soundtrack for the game.”
    But luckily Lam soon realized things would have to change．“There was no future in playing games and I had to think about the years ahead,” he said．
    After finishing high school，Lam joined the army. On the small island where he was stationed，he wrote dozens of songs．Still，his ambition of one day being a pop singer seemed an unrealistic dream to others．“Later，when my former officers heard my songs being played on the radio, they couldn’t believe it.” he said．
    Not that the road to success wasn't a rocky one．When Lam went to Taiwan to develop his career, he felt lonely at first．He started playing computer games again．“I indulged(沉溺) myself in games day and night," he said．“But I came to realize that I mustn’t 1et the games take over my 1ife．I had to go out，see people and meet life’s challenges head on．”
    61．JJ Lam outshone Jay Chou by___________．
    A．winning four awards at a ceremony

    A．His parents guided him through success．
    B．He was once obsessed with video games．
    C．He wrote a song for the game WOW．
    D．He understood that playing games would not give him a secure future．
    63．The last paragraph tells us that___________ 
    A．lam has a talent for different music styles
    B．lam became famous overnight
    C．playing video games helps Lam release pressure
    D．lam went through hard times before he became successful

    C．Support from fans．        D．The skills he learned in the army．
