( A )
The city of London is absolutely jubilant today.
They learned this morning that they will host the 2012 Summer Olympics, they beat out four other world class cities.
Kurt Gregory has the latest.
In a race many considered too close to call ... the announcement came as a surprise.
The International Olympic Committee selected London to host the 2012 Summer Games over Paris by a vote of 54 to 50 after a hotly contested 18-month race. ... ... The news thrilled thousands at London's Trafalgar Square... And British soccer star David Beckham, on hand in Singapore to help the British bid.
Paris had been considered the front-runner throughout the campaign, but London picked up momentum in the late stages with strong support from Prime Minister Tony Blair.
(Tony Blair/British Prime Minister):
"and for London it will be tremendous, it will regenerate the whole east part of London, there'll be massive new sporting facilities that will then last for years to come."
London's victory handed Paris its third Olympic defeat in 20 years after other failed bids in 1992 and 2008. The last time the British capital hosted the Summer Olympics was 1948.
Moscow, New York and Madrid were eliminated in the first three rounds of voting.
The last-minute Olympic Stadium revision was thought to hurt New York's chances but Mayor Bloomberg and senator Hillary Clinton were in Singapore in hopes they could win last-minute support.

How do American babies get their names when they are born?
We’d better know the formation of American names before we answer this question. A native American may have his name in two or three parts. Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, had his name in two parts. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President, had his name in three parts. The first part is the given name, or the first name. The second part is the middle name or middle names, as Delano in Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The last part is the family name, surname or the last name, as Reagan in Ronald Reagan.
How does an American baby get his given name? Generally, when an American baby is born, the parents may pick up a name from a name book, or think of a name they like, and give it to the baby as the given name. Sometimes, the given name means something. If a girl baby’s given name is Alice, then she is hoped to be noble or cheerful, because Alice means noble and of good cheer. If the parents give their daughter Linda as the first name, then the parents hope their daughter to be pretty or beautiful, because it means that. If a boy’s given name is David, then he could be his parents’ beloved one, because David means a beloved person. But sometimes, the given name is just a given name, and it doesn’t mean anything. In another case, parents can give their baby the given name according to their hobby or desire.
Then how do American babies get their middle names? We must take people’s relationship into consideration when we answer this question. If the parents respect or hope to remember the grandparent, then they give their baby a middle name after the grandmother or grandfather. If the parents have a very close friend, they may pick their baby a middle name after their friend. Some parents name their baby after themselves.
Some even give the baby a middle name according to a famous person. So a baby may have one or two or even more middle names if the parents wish.
A baby gets his family name after his father’s family name. If the father’s family name is Smith, then the baby’s family name will be Smith, too.
66. The underlined phrase “in another case” means _______.
A. for another example B. on the contrary
C. in addition D. in case
67. From the name “Linda Smith” we know that _______.
A. It’s a girl B. Her parents’ names are Smith.
C. Her parents want her to be pretty or beautiful D. All the above
68. Which of the following sentences shows the main idea of this passage?
A.How do American babies get their names when they are born?
B.We’d better know the formation of American names.
C.Sometimes the given name doesn’t mean anything.
D.Parents give their baby the given name according to their hobby or desire.
69. Which of the following is the wrong choice ? In the American name “Franklin Delano Roosevelt”, “Roosevelt” is the _______.
A. family name B. surname C. last name D. given name
70. Which of the following is true about American names?
A. Each American name has 3 parts: the first name, the middle name and the last name.
B. A baby’s given name is usually the same as his/her grandparent.
C. Parents may pick up a name for the baby after their friend has found one.
D. A baby may have 2 or 3 middle names.
( C )
You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the UK. Here is some information about making international phone calls.
You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person” call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays.
If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call; explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays.
Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time); London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead.
There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the Summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in Spring and put back in Autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the Summer.
You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.
71. What is “a reverse charge call”?
- An international call.
- A very expensive call.
- A call to major cities
- A call for which the person who receives the call pays.
72. What is the most expensive type of call?
A. direct dial. B. through the operator.
C. reverse charge call. D. calling outside office hours.
73 . According to the passage, what can you do if the international line is busy?
A. book a call. B. make a “person-to-person” call.
C. give up. D. call back outside office hours.
74. When is it cheaper to make an international call?
A. 10 a.m. B. 4 p. m. C. 11 p. m. D. 3 hours ahead of GMT.
75. How many hours is Moscow ahead of London during the summer?
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4

During the weekend I traveled by air for the first time in my life. I usually travel by train or by bus. It is both cheaper and safer. But to fly in the sky was something new to me. At the beginning I felt a little nervous. But very soon I became excited when I found myself high up in the sky among the clouds. I also found that the mountains, fields, and rivers were interestingly small. I enjoyed my short and comfortable journey very much. After all, it is more interesting to take a plane than to take a car. 101w
[写作指导]
1) 本文为记叙文，要正确把握记叙文表达中的时态，关键是根据提示明确写作“时间立足点”。这里介绍一种“瞻前顾后”法。例如，写报道、日记及故事之类的文章时，通常是记叙过去发生的事情，因此“时间立足点”常用“一般过去时”，以此为基点，“瞻前”是“过去完成时”，“顾后”是“过去将来时”。叙述当前的事件或社会自然现象，常用“一般现在时”为立足点，“瞻前”视其影响用“一般过去时”或“现在完成时”，“顾后”则是“一般将来时”。当然，有些记叙文内容较多，时间跨度大，谓语动词时态的形式也必然随文多变。但不管怎样，下笔前，确定好“时间立足点”是关键。本文记叙的是过去的事情，所以行文以过去时为主。
2) 根据提示确定将要使用的短语或句型。
3) 注意最后的感想是对不同交通工具的对比，要使用一般现在时。
