A study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引语）from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto.

Goal chances came and goal chances went. But two of the world’s highest-ranked teams—with some of football’s highest-paid players—couldn’t get the ball into the net. And they were playing against sides that only just made it to the World Cup.
With two defeats, one draw（平局）and no goals, France collected its newest title since rising to the top of the game four years ago: the worst defending champion in World Cup history.
“I’m very disappointed, it’s the end of a beautiful story,” said a French striker David Trezeguet. “The story began in 1998 and ended today against Denmark.”
France won the 2000 European Championships and was ranked the best team on the planet before the World Cup.
Besides the goalposts and crossbars seeming to be against this unlucky team, France’s game plan has been the same for four years so opponents (competitors) know it by heart.
Senegal, an African team playing in its first World Cup, surprised everyone by beating France in the opening World Cup match before entering the second round successfully.
Uruguay and Denmark followed a similar to stop France, creating a defensive barrier（屏障）and launching many counter-attacks.
Following France, Argentina became the second big-name to take an early plane home from this year’s World Cup.
The South Americans were expected to become world champions for a third time. This was particularly
because of an impressive display when they lost just one of their 18 qualifying matches.
The team’s 1-0 loss to England on June 7 was the beginning of a nightmare for the players. But even after this surprising defeat, they never thought that they would be going home so soon. But a 1-1 draw in Argentina’s final group match against Sweden made the unexpected a reality.
56．By saying “two of the world’s highest-ranked teams” in the first paragraph, it means A．Senegal and Denmark B．Uruguay and Denmark
C．England and Sweden D．France and Argentina
57．Which of the following statements about the French team is NOT true?
A．The French team won a great victory in 2000.
B．The French team got its title “the worst defending champion in World Cup history” fouryears ago in 1998.
C．The French team was the champions in the last World Cup.
D．In this World Cup, French team’s balls hit the goalposts and crossbars.
58．From the passage we know .
A．France was defeated first by Denmark and then by Senegal
B．Uruguay beat France and was defeated by Denmark
C．England beat Argentina and drew the next one
D．Sweden didn’t beat Argentina but kicked it out
59．The underlined word “strategy” refers to .
A．the way to persuade others to follow them
B．the purpose with which they joined in the games
C．the art of planning operation in matches
D．the suggestion the people of their own made
60．Argentina was expected to become world champions because A．they won almost all the games in the tryout（预赛）
B．they had won champions in World Cup three times
C．they lost the game to England only by 1—0
D．they beat a strong opponent—Sweden

Casablanca, Sep. 24
A flash flood swept across the coastal plain about 100 miles southwest of here, killing hundreds of Moroccans in a market place yesterday morning.
Reports from the area said 218 bodies had been counted, and many of the people were missing.
The flood followed heavy rains, which filled the coastal plain and dried river beds and caused them to overflow. The flood crest, several feet high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at midmorning yesterday as farmers from the surrounding area joined town people in an open market place.
The roaring water swept the village’s living places, the market sheds (棚子), shoppers, cattle and farm tools for miles across the plain..
The flood was over almost as soon as it started, the reports said, as the crest swept out to sea. Rescue workers quickly moved into the area from Sari, about 25 miles further south.

Imagine a boy from a small village in East Africa. He, since a very early age, has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows more about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has this boy had any education?
Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us — our parents, brothers, sisters, friends — are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we were born, not on the first day we go to school. Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird’s nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn’t like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.
Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as many as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn’t tell you whether you are good at it.
We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can’t do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.
63. The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _______.
A. African children are very poor. B. some children are unlucky.
C. there are many kinds of education.D. schools are of great importance.
64. In the opinion of the writer, A. we have to learn from the people around us.B. the school is not important at all.
C. only people who care for us can teach us. D. education takes place everywhere.
65. One can find out what he / she is good at by A. what people encourage him/ her to do.B. the teachings of those he / she meets.
C. thinking about it when growing up. D. trying and practising things.
A. everyone gets education from the day he or she was born.
B. different classes of people receive different kinds of education.
C. the school is absolutely necessary if one wants to understand the world.
D. everyone will find out what he or she is good at.
67. According to the last paragraph, we know that .
A. the school is not so important as our living places.
B. the school enables us to understand the world in other ways.
C. the school teaches us things which are useless at home.
D. the school cannot prepare us for our daily lives.

Compared to high heels, they don't look remotely hazardous. But flip-flop
wearers would do well to think twice before slipping on a pair. The National
Health Service spends ￡40 million a year treating injuries caused by wearing the
casual footwear. More than 200,000 people end up in hospital every year after
suffering falls or developing long-term problems.
Once worn only at the beach, flip-flops have become the regular summer
footwear of choice for women, with two in five women owning at least one pair.
But experts are warning of the dangers of wearing flip-flops, such as the risk of joint pains. They say flip-flops force people to change the way they walk so that when taking a walk with long steps they put pressure on the outside of their foot, rather than their heel, causing long-term damage. And there is also the risk of serious injury. Frequent complaints include twisted ankles, but some have broken their arms or wrists after falling because their flip-flops caught on uneven ground. Many also suffer aching toes as they constantly wear them.
Mike, a spokesman, warned of the damage done by wearers forced to adapt how they walk. He
said: “They land on the outside and then roll the foot inwards putting all the pressure on the big toe.” This constant rolling puts pressure on the ankle joint causing it to weaken. The lack of support of the flip-flop also causes pain on the inside of the foot and lower leg. And if you're not used to wearing them, they can cause blisters, he added.
Medics say flip-flops cause far more damage as they are worn for longer periods of time. Emma Supple, consultant podiatrist (足科医师) for the MBT, said: “Flip-flops are universally popular. They are easy to put on and easy to wear but women do need to be mindful that wearing on hard flat surfaces can cause considerable foot and leg problems.”She encouraged women to wear sensible shoes to help recover from summertime injuries.
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. The benefits of wearing flip-flops.
B. The dangers of wearing flip-flops.
C. Some advice on how to avoid wearing flip-flops.
D. The advantages and disadvantages of wearing flip-flops.
6. What is the Emma Supple’s attitude on wearing flip-flops according to the text?
A. CautiousB. Doubtful. C. Regretful. D. Positive.
7. The text is most probably taken from_____.
A. A personal diary on feelings B. a magazine on fashion
C. a research paper on scienceD. a newspaper on health
8. What can we infer from the text?
A. Wearing high heels is more dangerous than wearing flip-flops.
B. Wearing the casual footwear can cause injures to wearers.
C. Many women like to wear flip-flops in summer.
D. Wearing flip-flops causes falls or long-term problems on foot.
长难句翻译：

Climate change threatens to abandon years of work to handle poverty in developing countries, a report warned today. Strong, urgent action was needed in poor countries to address the impacts of climate change alongside efforts to boost economic development. The report said international aid should not be blind to climate change, ignore measures which help poor countries adapt to its effects, or continue to promote high-carbon development.
Instead governments and aid agencies should put climate change at the forefront of work to handle poverty, to help developing nations deal with its impacts and seize new opportunities as the world shifts to a more low-carbon economy.
The Future Climate for Development study said low-income countries and those developed countries should look for "win-win" opportunities which simultaneously address climate change and issues such as poverty, health and education. For example, investment in renewable energy could enhance energy security in poor countries, while promoting low-carbon transport would reduce pollution and improve health.
The potential consequences could include developing countries questioning Western models of democracy in the face of the impacts of climate change and food and resources shortages, and for currently unacceptable population controls to be brought in as part of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And conflicts over water and scarcecome to dominate international relations, the report said.
Peter Madden, chief executive of Forum for the Future, said "By putting climate change at the forefront of development thinking we will not only help the world's poorest to avoid serious risks, but we can also help them seize new opportunities to create better lives for themselves.
That is why the UK is now working across the globe to help the world's poorest people prepare for the potentially effects of climate change and shift to the clean technologies that are so vital to a stable, successful world for us all.
This report will act as an important tool to help poor countries plan for an uncertain future, and underlines our need to build climate change into everything we do."
9. Which of the following not good to the developing countries?
A. To reduce greenhouse and pollution.
B. To seize the chance to cooperate with others.
C. To abandon the previous work.
D. To prepare for the effects of climate change.
10. The underlined word “escalate” Paragraph 4 most probably means______.
A. stand up B. cut down C. speed upD. slow down
11. What Peter Madden said in Paragraph 5 means that ____.
A. climate change will benefit the developing countries
B. pollution influences the development of the poorest countries
C. measures should be taken to protect the environment
D. attention to climate change is vital to the world's poorest people
12. The reason why the UK is now working across the globe is that_____.
A. they wish to grasp "win-win" opportunities
B. they want to develop the economic of their own
C. they prepare for the effects of climate change
D. they decide to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions

1. abandon vt. 丢弃;抛弃,遗弃
2. alongside adv. 在旁边;沿着;靠拢着;并排地
3. shift vt. 转换;转移;转变
4. consequence n.结果,后果
【要点综述】本文主要讲了发展中国家要把气候的变化作为解决贫穷的首要任务，发达国家要与发展中国家共同合作，以取得双赢。
9.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段Climate change threatens to abandon years of work to handle poverty in developing countries…可知气候的变化威胁到先前的解决贫穷的工作，但这并不是说人们要放弃先前的努力。
10. C【解析】词义猜测题。根据描述可知水资源和其它资源短缺的加速会成为国际关系的主导。同时根据第五段的描述可知，发展中国家要把气候的变化作为解决贫穷的首要任务，能解决上述的短缺。因此escalate为加速的意思。
11.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段的描述可知发展中国家把气候的变化作为解决贫穷的首要任务有很多好处。
12. A【解析】：细节理解题。结合第五段That is why the UK is now working across the globe to help the world's poorest people prepare…以及第三段的描述… those developed countries should look for "win-win" opportunities…可知英国这样做的目的是为了实现双赢。
