Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and
inspiration, the Five Friendlies will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing
2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace-and blessings
from China—to children all over the world．
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who
form an intimate circle of friends, the Five Friendlies also embody the natural
characteristics of four of China’s most popular animals—the Fish, the Panda,
the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow—and the Olympic Flame．
Each of the Friendlies has a rhyming two-syllable name—a traditional way
of expressing affection for children in China．Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing
is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope
and Nini is the Swallow．
When you put their names together—Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni—they say “Welcome
to Beijing,” offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of the Five
Friendlies as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games．
The Five Friendlies also embody both the landscape and the dreams and
aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China．In their origins
and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature—the sea, forest,
fire, earth and sky—all stylistic rendered in ways that represent the deep
traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation．
56．The Official Mascots of
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games carry the following messages Except ．

Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states．They wanted to
buy lottery tickets．The tickets cost only ﹩0．9 each．But that small
spending could bring them a reward of ﹩90 million．That was the
second largest lottery jackpot（积累奖金）in history．
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery
drawing．Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1
to 80．The chance of
winning was one in 9．6 million．But that little chance
certainly didn’t affect ticket sales．In the last few days before
the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second．
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to
have a piece of the action．Others say the lottery is a
stock market for poor people．It allows them to dream
about wealth they’ll probably never have．
But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized（合法化的） gambling．Some critics note
that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets．There are also
many addicts who take the game seriously．They may pour their life
savings into lottery tickets．Some clubs have been formed
to help them kick the habit．
Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would
otherwise have to come from new taxes．The profits from lotteries
are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens．But critics say
this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice（恶习）, under the name
of social progress．No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not,
you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans．
59．The main idea of
the passage is that ．
A．lotteries are of great
benefit to everyone who buys them
B．playing a lottery is just
like investing in the stock market
C．a lot of people buy lottery
tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement
D．lotteries are just legalized
vice
60．Which of the
following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Politicians like lotteries
because they don’t have to pay extra tax．
B．The popularity of lotteries
in America actually is social progress．
C．Some critics don’t like
lotteries because many poor people waste their money on them．
D．People love the lottery
because it is a stock market．
61．In just one hour
in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling ．
A．$1.62million B．﹩90million C．﹩9.6million D．﹩87million
62．People who are
addicted to playing lotteries should
．
A．join a club B．kick the habit
C．win the Pennsylvania D．save every cent

Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do．Birthday
celebrate the day when we were born．Besides, that extra candle
on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity（成熟）—or so we hope．We all like to
imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older．Most of us enjoy
seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well．For instance, seeing our
children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud．For Americans,
like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process．But growing old?
That is a different story．
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented（以年轻人为中心）American culture．Most Americans
like to look young, act young and feel young．As the old saying goes,
“You’re young as you feel．” Older people joke about
how many years young they are, rather than how many years old．People in some
countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom．But Americans
seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”．
Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden．Economically,
“senior citizens” often struggle just to get by．Retirement at the age of 65
brings a sharp decrease in personal income．Social security benefits
usually cannot make up the difference．Older people may suffer from
poor nutrition, medical care, and housing．Some even experience age
discrimination（歧视）．American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older
person and wandered city streets．She was often treated
rudely-even cheated and robbed．However, dressed as a young
person, she received much more respect．
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast．Why? People are
living longer．Fewer babies are being born．And middle-aged “baby
boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly．America may soon
be a place where wrinkles（皱纹）are “in”．Marketing experts
are ready noticing this growing group of consumer．
63．Growing up is a
wonderful thing because
A．people can celebrate their
birthday
B．people can become more
mature and wiser
C．people can receive many presents
D．people will feel younger at
heart
64．We can infer from
the second paragraph that
A．young people lack experience
and wisdom
B．American older people often
joke about their old age
C．American culture is very
young
D．different countries have different
opinions on the old age
65．What does the
first sentence in the third paragraph mean?
A．the golden years can make
the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care
B．the old in America are
leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing
C．the old in America have to
retire at the age of 65
D．American social security
benefits are not good
66．What does the
underlined word “in ”in the last paragraph mean?
A．serious B．cool
C．disappearing slowly D．growing fast
67．According to this
passage, which of the following statement is correct?
A．the young are much more
respected than the old in America．
B．the old are much more
respected than the young in America．
C．growing old makes people
feel proud in America．
D．the young are often
discriminated in America

Institutional construction is needed to guarantee public participation in
environmental protection, says a commentary in Dazhong Daily．An excerpt
follows．
The State Environment Protection Administration（SEPA） last week released
a set of guidelines on public participation in environmental impact（影响） assessment,
encouraging direct involvement from the general public in the country’s
environmental affairs．
This is the first official document on public involvement in the environmental
sector, which will make government decisions in the sector more transparent and democratic．Last year, a
series of environment issues plunged SEPA into an administrative accountability（问责）storm．The issues
include a construction project that could lead to an ecological disaster in the
Old Summer Palace in Beijing, water pollution in the Songhua Rive and disputes
over the construction of a dam on the Nujing River．Then came the
“environment impact assessment storm,” which showed the efforts made by the
government in this aspect．
Although there are some articles on public involvement in the Environment
Impact Assessment Law, they are very ambiguous and not practical．The temporary
measures give specific arrangement procedures．It gives recognition and
respect to the public rights to environment participation, and also shows the
government’s open mind for better environment participation．But such a right
of participation is still partial in the assessment stage．There is still a
lack of arrangements in the policy-making and law-enforcement phases．
In a modern society, every citizen has a right to live in a good
environment．Citizens should be able to participate based on their rights
t know．Marking such temporary measures is a good way to realize
citizens’ right to participate．But more should be included,
such as citizens’ rights to participate in law-making, policy-making and
law-enforcement．There should be an open mechanism to provide environment
information, and a democratic system encouraging the public to participate in
decision-making concerning the environment．
68．Which is not the
last year’s environment issue?
A．a construction project
leading to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer Palace
B．water pollution in the
Songhua River
C．disputes over the construction
of a dam on the Nujing River
D．measures to guarantee public
participation in environmental protection
69．The underlined
word “transparent” in the third
paragraph probably means?
A．clear B．doubt C．temporary D．clean
70．The best title of
this passage is ．
A．Public can help environment
B．The serious environmental
problems
C．The government can protect
the environment
D．The public’s rights
71．Which of the
following is not the citizens’ right to help environmental protection?
A．the right to participate in
making laws
B．the right to be responsible
for environmental disasters
C．the right to participate in
making policies
D．the right to participate in
law-enforcement

Anti-bird flu contingency（意外事故） measures, including a
proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics（后勤）measures will be
discussed at the Legislative Council’s Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene
Panel meeting next month．Secretary for Health,
Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force
if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong．
Speaking on a radio talk show this morning．Dr Chow said the separation
of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision
whether to set up a central slaughtering（屠宰）house or several regional
ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens．
He pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported
from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locally．If this demand persisted,
there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could
handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choice．
He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but
stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a
final decision was made．
Regarding avian flu vaccination（种痘） for humans, Dr Chow said it
was still being developed．He added that it may not be
reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer
5% protection against a virus．
He said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring
territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them
help．He added there
was no “boundary” for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different
countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak．
72．It can be inferred from the
first paragraph that _______．
A．the government is planning to take strong action to fight
against bird flu
B．an outbreak which happened near Hong Kong made people very
frightened
C．anti-bird flu contingency measures will come into use next
month
D．Dr York Chow will organize a meeting to discuss the
contingency plan
73．According the final decision
will be made mainly depends on ____
A．separate poultry form humans
B．set up a central slaughtering house
C．set up several regional slaughtering houses
D．get avian flu vaccination
74．When the final decision will
be made mainly depends on _____
A．the demand for live chickens
B．the views of the public
C．the advice from experts
D．the time when regional slaughtering houses will be finished
75．Which of the following
statements isn’t Dr York Chow’s opinion?
A．Hong Kong is better at dealing with viral outbreaks than its
neighbours
B．Infectious diseases could happen in any country
C．Other territories should ask Hong Kong for help because it
has more experience
D．Cooperation is quite necessary when danger is coming
