A
One of the worst feelings you have as a professional athlete is the feeling after losing a game to a team that you should have beaten. That happened last night against the lowly Boston Celtics. They had only won 13 games the whole year and were really struggling. We had just come off a very good win against the Orlando Magic on the road and were feeling good about ourselves.
The day did not start out good for us when we learned that T-Mac was going to miss the game with the flu. When you lose your best players（Yao, T-Mac）everyone must play a little harder and do a little bit more on the floor. We inserted Bonzi Wells into the lineup（he was the only one to have a good game for us）, in place of T-Mac.
|
In the locker room after the game, everybody felt terrible. When we play a bad game, we feel that we let our teammates down. There is a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach when you leave the gym and you just want to go home and not talk to anyone. It is a terrible feeling, but it is a feeling that makes you want to try harder and do better the next time.
I’ll talk to you guys later,
Shane

A recent survey has shown that the number of people in the United Kingdom who do not intend to get internet access（通道）has risen. These people, who are known as“net refuseniks”, make up 44% of UK households, or 11.2 million people in total.
The research also showed that more than 70 percent of these people said that they were not interested in getting connected to the internet. This number has risen from just over 50% in 2005, with most giving lack of computer skills as a reason for not getting internet access, though some also said it was because of the cost.
More and more people are getting broadband and high speed net is available almost everywhere in the UK, but there are still a significant number of people who refuse to take the first step.
The cost of getting online is going down and internet speeds are increasing, so many see the main challenge to be explaining the relevance of the internet to this group. This would encourage them to get connected before they are left too far behind. The gap between those who have access to and use the internet is the digital divide, and if the gap continues to widen, those without access will get left behind and miss out on many opportunities, especially in their careers.
45．According to the passage, what is the main reason for people not getting internet access?
A．The computers are expensive.
|
C．They’re not good at computer skills.
D．They refuse to accept high technology.
46．What step has been taken to encourage the people to use the internet?
A．Bringing the cost down. B．Educating more people.
C．Providing more opportunities D．Putting more information online.
47．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The majority of people in the UK are“net refuseniks”.
B．Most of those without internet access want to get it.
C．High speed internet is not available everywhere in the UK.
D．The digital divide is widening in the UK.
48．What is the purpose of writing this article?
A．To explain the reasons why people are not getting online.
B．To encourage more people to use the internet.
C．To make a survey of how many people are getting online.
D．To advertise the internet.

The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded every year for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction. The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, which was the name of the company that sponsored（资助）it, though it was better-known as simply the“Booker Prize”. In 2002, the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping“Booker”.
Publishers can submit（提交）books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Committee give advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the books. The judging group changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.
Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging group is balanced in terms of gender（性别）and professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, and editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the group of judges has been finalized, they are left to make their own decisions without and further involvement（参与）or interference（干涉）from the prize sponsor.
The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably, in addition to the ￡50,000 that comes with the prize.
49． recommended（推荐）books to the judging group.
A．The publishers B．The writers
C．The readers D．The sponsors

According to the British Heart Foundation, in the UK someone has a heart attack every two minutes. Each year, 65,000 people are found out with the condition. In the past continuous monitoring to detect heart disease has been a difficult process. But new smart textiles mean it’s now possible to put a recording device in the fibres of our clothing and carry on with life, safe in the knowledge that our vital signs are being transmitted to a medical professional.
Dr Dewar Finlay and Dr Chris Nugent at the University of Ulster are researching how new technology can be used to make patient monitoring better and have worked with Smart textile manufacturer Sensatex, to help them develop their technology for the healthcare market. As Dr Nugent points out,“if you can put health monitoring into clothes everything is in place without having to use complicated instructions about where to place sensors on different parts of the body. There’s also the issue that patients can take control of the monitoring in the home environment and cut down on the input required from the healthcare profession.”
Dr Finlay explains,“a number of companies are developing smart textiles to capture signals prompted by our bodies. We want to use this technology to measure the electrocardiogram（ECG），the electrical signals generated by our heartbeat. The garment looks like an ordinary T-shirt that you can buy from the shops but at certain locations there are conductive（有传导性的）fibres woven into it enabling signals to be recorded from the surface of the body.”
53．The main point of the passage is that .
A．heart diseases can be easily cured in the near future.
B．scientists have developed new fibres that are conductive
C．companies are using new technology for the healthcare market.
D．doctors are helping develop smart textiles for health monitoring
54．The underlined word“monitoring”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A．studying B．checking C．measuring D．treating
55．It can be inferred from the passage that in future .
|
B．doctors are able to cure heart attack completely
C．measuring the electrocardiogram will be more convenient
D．the smart suit will become a new fashion
56．The underlined pronoun“you”in the last paragraph most probably refers to .
A．people in general B．doctors
C．patients D．companies

One possible version：
Liu Xiang was born in Shanghai on July 13, 1983. He is an excellent 110m hurdler.
As a child, he was a high jumper until his sports school asked him to give up the event because a bone test showed that he would not grow tall enough to become a world-class jumper.
He began training as a hurdler in 1995. Four months later, he took part in national trials that placed him in the top levels of his age group. In 2002, he broke the world junior’s record for 110m hurdlers and in 2004 he won an Olympic gold medal in Athens. I hope that Liu Xiang will keep his title when the Olympics come to Beijing in 2008.
For Liu Xiang, hurdle is not his job, but what he loves.
