题型：不详难度：来源：
William, who is currently a Lieutenant（中尉）in the Army"s Household Cavalry Regiment（皇家骑兵团）, will transfer to the RAF and begin an 18-month training course in January 2009.
If successful, he will become a fully operational Search and Rescue pilot in 2010, flying Sea King helicopters at one of the six SARF units based in Britain.
"The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying," the prince, who spent two weeks with a SARF team while on work experience in 2005, said in a statement.
"Joining Search and Rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the Forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country"s Emergency Services."
It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war.
The Search and Rescue teams" main duty is to recover RAF personnel but in peacetime they mainly respond to civilian emergencies, dealing with more than 1,000 calls a year.
The units deal with incidents ranging from helping those trapped by sudden major floods to rescuing people lost while out walking on hills.
William, who has spent the last year on secondment（借调）to the various branches of the military to prepare for his future role as head of the armed forces, received his RAF wings （飞行勋章）following a four-month stint（持续的工作）with the service earlier this year.
However, his time with the RAF was clouded when the Defense Ministry was forced to fend off criticism for allowing the prince to fly military helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to the family home of his girlfriend Kate Middleton.
小题1: Prince William wanted to be a full-time pilot because _____.
| A．he liked flying |
| B．he would like to do something in the country’s Emergency Services |
| C．many Britons were in danger at sea waiting for rescue |
| D．he had much experience in flying |
| A．the Falklands war broke out in 2005 |
| B．Prince William served in the Army’s Household Cavalry Regiment in 1982 |
| C．Prince Andrew is serving in SARF now |
| D．William would finish his training course in June 2010 |
| A．the RAF is an army that rescues its soldiers during wartime |
| B．either Andrew or William is interested in flying |
| C．there are many floods happening in Britain |
| D．the prince saving the people in danger is no longer fairy tale |
| A．enthusiastic | B．doubtful | C．negative | D．pessimistic |
| A．The author wants to say that Prince William pays much attention to his family and friends |
| B．The author suggests that the Defense Ministry was criticized when William flew for his private business |
| C．William had a hard time when he went against his leaders |
| D．The author has the worry that Prince William is likely to get the Defense Ministry into trouble again. |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:B
小题4:A
小题5:D
解析
小题1:细节理解题。威廉王子喜欢飞行，但他认为参加搜救队对他来说是一个在空军服役的绝好的机会，因为他可以为国家的紧急救援做一点贡献。文章第五段while contributing to a vital part of the country"s Emergency Services表达了威廉的心愿。
小题2:细节理解题。文章说威廉王子将与2009年1月开始为期18个月的培训，因此结束时间当在2010年6月。
小题3:推理判断题。安德鲁也喜欢飞行，曾驾驶飞机参加过马岛之战。文章中有所透露：It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war. 由此可以推知这叔侄俩都喜欢飞行。
小题4:作者态度推断题。根据作者客观叙述威廉王子参加英国皇家搜救队的所作所为，以及作者文章开头的童话般的想像（Britons stranded at sea or in flooded homes could find a real-life prince riding to their rescue.），可以判断作者对于威廉的做法表示乐观。
小题5:作者意图推断题。作者对于威廉王子的做法表示支持，但最后一段叙述及前文王子喜爱飞行的爱好给读者的印象是他是特立独行的，曾经让国防部头疼过，今后当然也不会避免再出现让国防部陷入尴尬处境的情况。

German weightlifter Matthias Steiner pulled ahead of Russian rival Evgeny Chigishev to win the Olympic men"s +105 kg weightlifting gold medal on Tuesday.
Steiner lifted a total of 461kg, 203kg in the snatch(抓举) and 258kg in the clean and jerk(挺举), to beat Chigishev by a single kilogram. The German won the battle of giants in his last lift, winning his country"s first gold medal in the event at this year"s Games.
Steiner"s winning lift was also the last effort of the sport for this Olympics at which China earned eight of the 15 golds.
Steiner was born in Austria and represented his country of birth at the Athens Olympics four years ago, placing seventh in the lower 105kg category, but had a falling out with Austria"s weightlifting federation afterwards.
He applied for German citizenship in 2005 and got married, but his career went into deep freeze（困境）as he could not compete without a passport. He finally obtained the document last January.
The German, who turns 26 on Monday, had come to these Games on a mission to win the title for his wife Susann, who died in a car accident in July last year. The German team said he used the personal tragedy to motivate himself to win the gold medal.
Chigishev was the strongest in the snatch session Tuesday. He kissed his fists after a 210-kg lift that gave him a 7-kg advantage over fourth-placed Steiner going into the second event -- the clean and jerk. He let out a victorious roar（吼叫）after clearing 250 kg in his last lift, but the glory was short-lived as Steiner stunned（使瞠目）everyone with his final, winning clean and jerk effort.
Steiner had finished seventh in the 2004 Olympics in the 105kg weight category, and took the gold in the 2008 European Championship +105kg snatch competition, bronze in the clean and jerk and silver overall, with a total weight of 446kg.
World champion Viktors Scerbatihs of Latvia settled for bronze.
小题1:Steiner won the gold by lifting ______.
| A．105 kg | B．461 kg | C．258 kg | D．210 kg |
| A．Australia | B．Germany | C．Austria | D．Russia |
| A．Steiner beat Chigishev by one kilogram |
| B．Chinese weightlifting team won eight of the 15 gold medals at this year’s Games |
| C．Steiner didn’t get the passport until last February |
| D．Steiner got a bronze in the 2008 European Championship +105kg clean and jerk competition |
| A．Steiner was inspired by his unfortunate wife to win the gold medal |
| B．Chigishev was also the strongest in the second event |
| C．it is hard to get a German citizenship |
| D．Steiner was determined to win the medal for the German team |
| A．Narrow Victory | B．Pitiful Failure |
| C．Gold Medal for His Dearest Wife | D．Strongest Man of the World |
With 57 billion dollars net worth Gates again leads the list of 400 richest individuals in the world"s wealthiest country. He displaced Buffett who briefly held the position this year but who has seen his Berkshire Hathaway investment group"s shares slip 15 percent since February and is now worth 50 billion.
According to Forbes, whose list was published late Wednesday, the golden 400 have 1.3 billion dollars net worth or more. However, their combined net worth rose only 30 billion dollars, or two percent, to 1.57 trillion dollars.
Forbes said that rising oil and dizzy art prices fuelled the entry of 31 new members into the ultra-rich club and the return of eight previous members.
A notable arrival was Mark Zuckerberg, 24, founder of the social networking site Facebook（脸谱网）. Forbes estimates his worth at 1.5 billion dollars.
Meanwhile, turmoil（动荡）on the stock and housing markets saw 33 others drop off the list, including the former head of the troubled insurance giant AIG, Maurice Greenberg, and a former head of the online auction site eBay, Margaret Whitman.
Biggest gainers were led by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who took eighth place with 20 billion dollars worth after a transaction（交易）put a new value on his Bloomberg media and financial data network.
The biggest loser was casino（赌场，娱乐场）tycoon Sheldon Adelson, whose fortune fell 13 billion dollars over 12 months -- the equivalent to 1.5 million dollars an hour -- although he still has 15 billion dollars and occupies 15th place.
About two thirds of the list are self-made billionaires and just over 10 percent are women, led by television star Oprah Winfrey whose fortune rose 200 million dollars to 2.7 billion dollars.
小题1: According to Forbes, Warren Buffet is worth _____.
| A．57 billion dollars | B．50 billion dollars | C．1.5 billion dollars | D．20 billion dollars |
| A．turmoil on the stock and housing market |
