阅读理解。        Sociologists (社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women
wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. "Women often wish
they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men"s world," said Dr James Helen, one of the
sociologists who did the study.
       Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support (养活)
his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against
their wives working at all. When wives go out to work , they say, the home and children can not be taken
good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won"t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a
nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their
homes and to have freedom (自由) to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal
pay and equal chances (平等机会).
       Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "women"s liberation (解放) ". "I don"t wish I were
a man." she says, and I don"t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating (对待) us like
second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are
still a lot of jobs only to men-usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance
of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there …or engineers? 1. Many men think _______.[     ]
A. women can"t do what men can
B. men have to work much harder than women
C. men can make money more easily than women
D. women"s duty is mainly to do housework at home 2. Some women have different ideas. They say that _______.[     ]

        Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration (灵感), the Five Friendlies
(福娃)will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship,
peace and blessings (祝福)from China to children all over the world.

warm invitation of the Five Friendlies as young children for the Olympic Games.

part of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature: the sea, the forest,
the fire, the earth and the sky. What"s more, the deep traditional Chinese folk art can be found in all the Five
Friendlies.
        At the heart of their task and through all of their work, the Five Friendlies will try to unite the world in

World, One Dream" to every continent, the Five Friendlies show the deep feeling of the Chinese people to reach

students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about
science. And few people know that one kind of school could teach everything that was known about
the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

阅读材料，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。        The English language is different from any other languages. Yet English words do not stay the same. The
language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come
into use, or older words are used in a new way.
      English can change by borrowing words from other language. "Tomato" was borrowed from Mexico, the
word "coffee" came from Turkey, and "tea"came from China. Now new space and science words are being
borrowed from other countries, too.
        New words are also made by adding two words together. "Postman" and "grandfather" are words made
up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word"photo"was made from
photograph by cutting off the front part."Smog"was made by using only the first two and last two letters from
the words "smoke" and "fog".
        The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named
"Sandwich". 1. The English language needs new words _____.[     ]
A. to make it more beautiful
B. to make up some stories
C. to keep up with other languages

阅读下面短文。根据短文内容从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。         For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see the
beauties of the countryside. This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they
were too far away from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.
        In 1907, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn
his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and
cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few
years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. As
a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. This was the first Young Hostel.
         Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each other.
When young people arrive at a hostel, they have only to show their card of membership in a hostel organization
in their own country. This card will permit them to use the facilities of hostels all over the world for a very low
price.
         Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or the world will
happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of
dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a
question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by meeting people who come from those
places. For this reason, a few weeks spent"hostelling"can just be as useful a part of one"s education as classes
in school.
