Mother's Day is a day set

services and encouraged other sons and daughters to remember their mothers in a
similar way. She wrote thousands of letters to great persons, and in 1913 both

K. Smith
says; Apart from classroom lecture and textbooks, I read The World of English
on my own and am glad to say that I am getting more help from the magazine than
from the teacher, who tries to explain Chinese lessons Partly in English and
partly in offhand (即席的)
Chinese. When I get the World of English to teach me Chinese, I find the
learning easier with Chinese texts paralleled (对照的),
word for word, phrase for phrase, sentence for sentence, with the English
original (原文)
. The Chinese translation is of course intended to help Chinese learners of
English. But I turn it around using the English original as a means to an end
----my own aim of studying the Chinese language. I am pleased with my
experience and introduce this method of studying Chinese to other foreign
students at other Chinese universities in Beijing, especially the Beijing
Languages Institute where foreign students of the Chinese language are massed.

of Chinese, if they haven’t already done so.

Efforts by two east African countries to get more children into school have been backed by the UK government with £87million worth of funding.
The Department for International Development (DFID) announced last week that it would give £85 million to the Tanzanian government to support the country's poverty reduction strategy, which focuses on education and health. The move follows a 45% rise in the number of children attending school since 2001, when school fees were abolished.
The DFID said around 95% of children aged between seven and 13 are now enrolled in school. The number of teachers has risen by a quarter and the number of schools has increased by a fifth in the past five years. Among the challenges for the Tanzanian government now, is to ensure that children receive a good standard of education.
A further £2 million will be given to neighbouring Burundi to help build more classrooms and pay for more teachers.
Class sizes swelled this term as an extra 500,000 children enrolled in school following the abolition of primary school fees by the country's newly elected government, which is expected to restore democracy to the war-ravaged(战争毁坏的) country.
According to the DFID, there are 150 pupils to a class in some areas of the country and the Burundi government estimates that enrolment rates could double in the next school year.
The £2 million will support the Back to School programme, operated in Burundi by the United Nations' children's fund, Unicef, which aims to build 100 temporary classrooms, provide 500 schools and provide water the sanitation facilities. Fast-track training will also be made available for up to 3,000 unqualified teachers and for 1,000 former teachers returning to education.
The money is expected to help bring both countries a small step closer to meeting the UN's eight Millennium Development Goals, which were set in 2000 to eradicate（根除） poverty and improve access to education and healthcare by 2015.
64. Which of the following is the same case in both Tanzania and Burundi?
A. They both suffered the ravages of the war.
B. They will get the same amount of money from DFID.
C. They both abolished primary school fees.
D. They both need to train unqualified teachers
65. What does the underlined word “swelled” mean in the passage?
A. remained B. expanded C. doubled D. changed
66. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The situation in Tanzania is no better than that in Burundi.
B. The Back to School programme is only operated in Burundi.
C. The Tanzanian government is sure that children receive a good standard of education.
D. Previously many teachers turned to the occupations other than education in Burundi.
67. The main idea of this passage is ______.
A. Tanzania and Burundi are taking efforts to improve access to education.
B. Tanzania and Burundi are desperate for money to support their education.
C. The UK government are providing funds to help African children back to school.
D.A country's poverty reduction strategy should be focused on education first.
D
A SIMPLE eye test could predict who is likely to have a stroke in the next seven years.
A study of more than 3600 people over the age of 50 found those with a condition called retinopathy(视网膜病)were three times more likely to suffer a stroke, even if they displayed no other risk factors.
Paul Mitchell, director of the Centre for Vision Research at Westmead Millennium Institute, said about 10 per cent of people over 50 had retinopathy, diagnosed by taking high-resolution（高分辨） photographs of the retina.
"This test is a marker for stroke even for people who don't have other stroke risk factors like high blood pressure. Usually about 2 per cent of people above the age of 50 will have a stroke, but we found about 5 to 6 per cent of people who had retinopathy had a stroke within six or seven years."
Professor Mitchell said damage to the retina indicated vascular（血管） problems.
"The eye and the brain circulation are essentially identical, so by taking an image of the retina we are seeing a snapshot（快照） of what might be happening in the brain." He said the images would have to be taken by an eye specialist, rather than a GP.
Stroke is the third-largest cause of death in Australia after heart disease and cancer.
National Stroke Foundation chief executive Erin Lalor said: "About 48,000 people a year have a stroke, and within a year of having a stroke about a third of the people will die, about a third will make a complete recovery and about a third of the people will have some disability.
Professor Mitchell said further research involving 2000 stroke patients in Sydney and Melbourne had begun to determine whether retinopathy was a predictor of certain types of stroke.
"We are now continuing to work to explore the relevance（有关性质） of this work and to see how it can play a specific practical role in the future," he said.
"We're recruiting about 2000 people in Sydney and Melbourne who have had a stroke to look at how common these retinal signs are, and whether they are helpful in predicting the type of stroke."
68. We can infer from the text that “a GP” is a person who __________.
A. has a specific medical skill
B. can treat all illnesses
C. knows how to take photos
D. carries out the research
69. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Eye test can predict future stroke victims.
B. Eyes should be tested regularly to prevent stroke.
C. Stroke is the third-largest cause of death in Australia.
D. We can prevent stroke in the future.
70.According to the text, both retinopathy and high blood pressure ______.
A. can cause stroke
B. are stroke markers
C. are diagnosed by taking high-resolution photographs
D. are included in the study
71. According to the text, which of the following haven’t yet been discovered?
A. Retinopathy suggests vascular problems.
B. In fact, the eye and the brain circulation are the same.
C. Retinopathy is a predictor of certain types of stroke.
D.About 16,000 people will die of stroke.
E
What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 - the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength - in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously(同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight international poverty and debt.
72.What does the author mean by “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?
A. The festival has achieved continuing and growing success
B. It has taken great efforts to hold the festival.
C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money.
D. There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.
73. Which of the following is right based on the passage?
A. The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.
B. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could get milk from the farm without paying.
C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone are skilled and experienced superstars.
D. In the 2004 Glastonbury Festival, the tickets were in great demand despite the high price.
74. “ The Live 8” is the name of ______.
A. a band B. a festival C. a place D. a series of concerts
75. What is the best title of the passage?
A. An idea to have a good time B. Charity events around the world
C. UK summer music festivals D. Superstars’ performances in the charity events
