children's hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals on the country and holiday areas are worst off.

From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.

Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as \library lady\

Children tend to rely on intimate school friends to keep in touch with school work. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can.

Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed. 40. Which of the following statements is true? A. Every child in hospital receives some teaching. B. Not enough is known about hospital teaching. C. Hospital teaching is of poor quality. D. The special children's hospitals are worst off.

41. In order to catch up with their school work, children in hospital usually turn to________. A. hospital teachers

B. schoolmates

C. parents

D. school teachers

42. We can conclude from the passage that the author is________. A. unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals B. in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitals C. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching D. satisfied with the results of the latest survey

One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money（银行活期存款） in scattered(分散的) locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us, the \（地平线；眼界）— it's already here. While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for

sellers too. Electronic cash registers(电子现金收入记录机) can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel(人员) and staffing assignments to be made accordingly(从而). And they also identify preferred(首选的) customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.

Numerous other commercial enterprises(企业), from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors（制造者；处理器）, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

43. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to ________. A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B. obtain more convenient services than other people do C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper D. cash money wherever he wishes to

44. The phrase \A. make an order of goods

On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma! It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.

Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and most challenging of all time.

Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.

Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.

“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.

“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak（峰顶）several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,” he added.

The special torch is different from the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.

The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.

46. What does the word “leg” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A. one part of a journey or race

B. one of the long parts that connect the feet to the rest of the body C. the leg of an animal, especially the top part, cooked and eaten D. the part of a pair of trousers that covers the leg 47. What would be the best title for the text? A. One world, one dream B. Relay reaches its highest point

C. Qomolangma, the highest summit in the world D. The special torch and the brave torchbearers

China successfully launched the Shenzhou VII space mission on September 25th, 2008. But have you ever heard of anything about the Shenzhou program after the successful Shenzhou VI space mission? The following taken from a certain magazine will let you know a lot.

“China has now mapped out plans for its next four launches in the Shenzhou program on the next flight. But one conclusion seems to have escaped most reports in the aerospace media. The flight of Shenzhou 7 could be timed to coincide with the Beijing Olympics. Plans for the 2008 Summer Olympics call for the events to be held between the 8th and 24th of August. It's

reasonable to expect that China will use the event to promote its achievements before the world, and human spaceflight is China's most significant recent breakthrough.

Shenzhou 7, China's next manned space mission, was originally advertised for 2007. This fit into the pattern of staging a two-year gap between crewed Shenzhou missions, which have previously launched in 2003 and 2005. But Chinese media statements have recently amended this to 2008. Chinese media have reported that while the overall program is going well, more time is needed to work on the spacesuit that will be used on this flight to stage China's first spacewalk. It's possible that Chinese engineers want to make best preparations for this complex mission.

China could intend to carry out the mission of Shenzhou 7 just as media attention is focused on the lead-up to the Olympics. The crew of the flight, and possibly China's other flown astronauts, could then take part in the opening ceremony. China has previously feted her space travellers in great celebrations, such as the Hong Kong event that saw Yang Liwei singing with actor Jacky Chan.

China has also suggested that the activity will be carried out by a single astronaut, and has indicated that half an hour is a rough estimate of the planned time for the spacewalk. China is apparently following suit, probably for the same reasons of conservative mission planning and safety.”

48. China has decided to carry out its human spaceflight in 2008 in order to ______. A. make the Beijing Olympics more interesting B. show its great achievements to the world C. prove that China is a developed country D. introduce its science and technology to the world

49. Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage? A. China sent its first manned spacecraft in October of 2003. B. Chinese engineers want to make more preparations for Shenzhou 7. C. The spacesuit for the flight of Shenzhou 7 hasn’t been prepared well. D. Two Chinese astronauts walked in space in 2003.

50. The underlined word “amended” in the passage has a similar meaning to ______. A. improved
