阅读理解。     As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences
when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let"s look at the words about animals and plants. Most
expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, "a homeless dog", "a mad dog", "a running dog" and "a
dog catching a mouse", have negative (消极的) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be
honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive (积极的) actions.
For example," you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each
person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person"s serious illness, they say "sick as a dog". The word
"dog-tired" means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, "cat" is often
used to describe a woman who is cruel (冷酷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used
differently as well.
     The rose is regarded as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some western countries. People think
the rose stands for (代表) love, peace (和平), courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of
England, America and many other countries.
    The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can
learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used. 1. The word "dog" in Chinese usually ______. A. shows peace
B. stands for friendship
C. has a negative meaning
D. has a positive meaning 2. "Every dog has its day." means "______". A. Everybody in the world is lucky.

阅读理解。     Tea bag drinking is most Westerns" favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
     The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free
tea in silk (丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and
added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy
when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
     Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea
bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea
made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit
in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
     However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good
tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go. 1. Who invented the tea bag? A. An English tea seller.

阅读理解。     The New York City Marathon was started by a man named Fred Lebow. It began in 1970 as a small,
unimportant race. Only 127 people ran, and just 55 of them finished. They ran around Central Park four
times. Few people watched them run. However, over the years the marathon grew and became more popular.
     Today people come from all over the world to run in the marathon. Runners must be at least 18 years old,
but there is no age limit (限制). In fact, the oldest runner was an 89-year-old man. Recently, more than 27,000
people ran in the New York City Marathon. Large crowds cheered the runners and offered them cold drinks
and encouragement.
     The course (路线) of the marathon has changed, too. Instead of running around Central Park, the runners
go through the five districts of New York City: Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
The marathon begins at the base (基座) of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island. The runners go
across the bridge into Brooklyn. Then they go up through Queens and into the Bronx. The marathon finishes
in Central Park in Manhattan. The complete course is 26. 2 miles, and takes the best runners less than 3 hours.
     Although it has changed since 1970, the New York City Marathon is always exciting. Through the years,
many unusual events (事件) have happened during the marathon. For example, Pat Tuz and John Weilbaker
got married a few minutes before the race. Then they ran the race with their party members. Some people
run the whole marathon as a family. Other people run the race backwards.
     In the fall of 1992, Fred Lebow, the founder (创始人) of the New York City Marathon, slowly ran his
last race. He was very ill with cancer, but he did not want to stop running. In October 1994, Fred died.

     Most people can think of a sport they would love to see in the Olympics. But they often don"t realize
how hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics. A sport needs to be well-organized and popular before the
Interracial Olympic Committee (IOC) will consider it. An international federation must govern (控制) the
sport by making rules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards (标准). What"s more, men from
at least 75 countries and women from at least 40 must play the sport.
     However, even meeting those conditions isn"t enough. The IOC always tries to keep the member of
athletes at about 10,000 for each Olympics.Since most modern Olympics already include so many athletes,
introducing a new sport often means cutting other events.
     The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest what new sports should be included. While new
sports are added to the Olympics,most of them will simply become events in another sports meeting. In
Beijing, open water swimming will become part of swimming, while women"s steeplechase (障碍赛) will
be added to athletics. 1. How can a sport be added to the Olympics? 从短文中找出三个条件。
(1) ______________________________________________________
(2) ______________________________________________________
(3) ______________________________________________________2.根据文章内容，选择适当的词语完成句子。
________ and ________ will become new sports in the 2008 Olympics.
