阅读理解。     David Beckham is the king of the football world,but it is his wife Victoria,former
"Posh Spice" girl,who makes it possible.She was the person who turned him from a
footballer into a global attractor.Even now that he has left Manchester United for Real
Madrid,instead of Barcelona or Milan,it might be because of her.
     "Posh Spice" has become a name for Victoria.The Collins Dictionary even has the
term "Posh and Becks" (Victoria and David Beckham).
      Before  meeting Victoria Adams,Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer
with a bright future at Manchester United,but that was about all.
     Since he married her in 1999,he has become the most famous player British sport has
ever produced,and,some say,the most influential man in the country."When they got
together,she was clearly the more popular of the two," said Andrew Parker,a sports expert
at Warwick University in Britain."She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people
and,all of a sudden,he was a top list celebrity(名人)."
It"s believed that,behind the high walls and iron gates of their "Beckham Palace",it is
Victoria who decides everything.
     When their baby boy,Brooklyn,fell in 2000.Beckham left a United training session to
look after him,and this led to his being dropped from the team.Many were sure it was
Victoria who had asked her husband to stay at home.During a trip to the United States
this year,Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public.They would not
have recognized him if they met him in a car park.
     She may appear to have taken a back seat,but Victoria is still at the forefront of the
"Posh and Beck" project. 1.From the passage,we can conclude that at home ______. A.Beckham listens to his wife
B.Victoria listens to her husband
C.Beckham and Victoria discuss and do everything together
D.Beckham has no mind of his own  2.Before meeting Victoria Adams,Beckham _______. A.had become world-famous
B.was completely unknown
C.was an ordinary football player
D.was not so influential 3.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?_______.A.People still like Victoria better than Beckham.
B.People liked to see Beckham and Victoria get together.
C To a large degree,Beckham owes his popularity to Victoria.
D.Sports experts used to think little of Beckham. 4.Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?_______. A.Beckham is the most influential man in Britain.
B.In 2000,Beckham was dropped from his team because he spent a holiday in the US.
C.Beckham is now playing for Real Madrid.
D.Brooklyn was born in 2000.

阅读理解。

     Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he
was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas
would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or
risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no
health insurance.
     After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He
left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic
Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their
loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
      Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the
online children"s forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids
from all over," says Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through,
so he doesn"t feel alone."
     Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United
States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
     These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines
and supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fightit.org has
raised about $ 23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic
Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
     Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause,
while still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting
money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher
is the only person I know saying people need help now."

1．Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?A．He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B．He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
C．He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D．He encourages diabetics by writing articles.2．Diabeticrockstar.com was created for ________.A．diabetics to communicate
B．volunteers to find jobs
C．children to amuse themselves
D．rock stars to share resources3．According to the text, Kody ________.A．feels lonely because of his illness
B．benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C．helps create the online kid"s forums
D．writes children"s stories online4．What can we learn about Fight It?A．It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
B．It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C．It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
D．It owns a wellknown medical website.5．The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ________.A．works fulltime in a diabetes charity
B．employs 22 people for his website
C．helps diabetics in his own way

阅读理解。     As a boy growing up in India,I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories
my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s,with
great interest.

parents to Europe,where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium,
Netherlands and West Germany.

finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally
got to experience them first hand,during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and
even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really
smooth and thoroughly enjoyable,even for someone like me,who is otherwise scared of flying.
     After spending almost two weeks in Europe,we took the Lufthansa airport express
from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport,for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along
the Rhine (莱茵河),it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood
on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation,but the Lufthansa
crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again,with the
quality of their service.
     Being the first airline to take me overseas,Lufthansa will always hold a special place in
my heart.Even today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of
choosing any other airline.Flying,in general,for me,has always been an ordeal (terrible and

to sit up in his bed for an hour a day. His bed was next to the room"s only window. The other man had to
spend all his time lying on his back on the only other bed in the room.
