(·福建龙岩质检一)China reported blistering growth for the last three months of 2009 ，raising expectations of interest rate increases and other measures to head_off inflation.

China has declared that it is recovering from the global economic crisis.

Ma Jiantang, head of the National Bureau of Statistics，said Thursday the country's economy grew by 10.7 percent in the last three months of 2009.

Ma says China has managed to quickly hold back what he described as “the sliding of the national economy”. He says China has become the first country，on the whole，to achieve economic recovery and stabilization.

According to previous estimates, Ma says China's  gross domestic product for 2009 rose 8.7 percent，to nearly five trillion dollars.

This goes beyond the official growth rate target of eight percent. The government has long considered eight percent growth essential to create enough jobs for the country's more than one billion people.

At the same time, Ma says some problems and contradictions are natural.

Ma says the Chinese government will  give more priority  to  restructuring  economic  and  improving peoples' livelihood.

To reduce the effects of the global economic crisis that began in 2008 ，China loosened lending practices, cut interest rates and began massive spending programs. But the government wants to make sure those measures do not contribute to inflation, which can be politically sensitive in a country where hundreds of millions of people remain poor.

Beijing resident Ms Wang says she is worried. She says she thinks prices are rising really fast. She points to the price of cabbage, which has increased more than 10 times in the past year.

The head  of the  Chinese  Banking  Regulatory Commission, this week said the government will step up monitoring of banks and rein in lending to prevent speculative bubbles(投机泡沫) in real estate(房地产) and other assets.

The World Bank on Thursday released a report that predicts China's economy will grow by nine percent this year. This contrasts with forecasts of 2.5 percent growth rate for the United States and one percent growth for European economies in , because of weaknesses remaining from the global financial crisis.

A. Prevent.         B. Begin. 

C. Continue.       D. Reduce.

65．How many measures did China take to reduce the sliding of the national economy?

After the Summer Olympics are over,when all the athletes and viewers have gone home and the television audience has switched off,another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city,and another competition will begin.These are the Paralympics,the games for athletes with a disability.But in Beijing in 2008,for the first time,one of the greatest paralympians will not be taking part.

She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson.Born with spina bifida（脊椎裂）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.

Tanni’s enduring success has been part motivation(动机），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 went to race...I am still competing at a very high level,but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”
