G8 Summit
　　Leaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations （G8） will meet in Scotland　in July this year. Representatives from China， India， Mexico， South Africa and Brazil have also been invited. Here's what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.
　　British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world's poorest countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2023. He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers and removing restrictions on African exports. This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests. On climate change， Blair wants concerted （共同旳） action by reducing carbon emissions （排放）。
　　US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to countries as 'it will increase corruption. Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit， according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol （京都议定书）。 Although the US is the world's biggest polluter， Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.
　　French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change. He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.
　　German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair's Africa proposals. Schroder's officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa's problems as "old thinking." Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they've solved the corruption problem.
　　Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage. Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard （跳板） next year to propose aid to the former Soviet republics of Georgia， Uzbekistan， Tajikistan and Moldova.
　　Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council， for which he will be lobbying （游说） at the summit. And he's concerned about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear weapons programme.

It is our duty to defend a world order based on security and justice and on a new culture of relations among nations that will not allow a repeat of any war， neither 'cold' nor 'hot'，" he continued.
　　3　The Second World War is perhaps the most catastrophic （劫难性旳） event that mankind has ever suffered. The war affected 80 per cent of the world's people at that time， from 61 countries， and claimed 55 million lives.
　　4　After the celebration， President Hu said that peace， development and cooperation were the future. "China will unswervingly （坚定地） follow the road of peace and development and will make a joint effort with all nations to contribute to safeguarding world peace and promoting development，" he said.

下面有3篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定1个最佳选项。
第一篇
Too Late to Regret It
　　When I was a junior, I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and athletic. He had something that I admired very much. He was natural, warm, and sincere.
　　I disregarded （不顾） my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning， and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus， or sunbathe （晒太阳） on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family， but in order to make me happy， he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model， and the girls envied （妒忌） me. He wasn't a local， but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
　　However, when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation, people began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I was all by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him. But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
　　I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well. With my good performance at school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities. He, on the other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his living expenses, job and scores.来源:报关员培训网
　　Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June. He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
　　Graduation time was drawing near, and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown. He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore. I was shocked and looked at him in despair.

第二篇
Mother Knows Best？
　　Once while being prepped （准备） for a television interview， I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason we're seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it's no longer a given （假定旳事实） that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
　　At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit, "It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say things like that. Usually it's a code for, "My wife, (read: any woman) is the better parent."
　　I was a stay-at-home father for eight years， so his declaration made me bristle （激动）。 It implied that our family's choice could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife.
　　I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better" parent: She I-Dad spent more time with Ry, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And given a choice, he'd have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
　　Because of the increased time I spent with him， I soon knew Ry well， understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually， the experience helped me unlock one of the world's great secrets： Women are good at looking after children because they do it. It's not because of any innate （先天旳） female aptitude （天资） or a mother's instinct. It's because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.
　　Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I don't know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass. Other people are capable of looking after them besides Morn.

36 Which of the following does the first paragraph imply?
A．Men like staying at home.
B．The author works at a TV station.
C．In more and more families the wife is earning more than the husband
D．The husband is the better parent.

37 The author decided to stay at home to look after their son eight years ago because
A．he thought he was the better parent.
B．he was too lazy to work.
C．their son Ry liked him better.
D．he was less likely to find a job than his wife.

38 Which of the following is NOT mentioned or implied in the passage?
A．Good parents should spend sufficient time with their children.
B．Good parents should take their children to school.
C．Good parents should read stories to their children.
D．Good parents should be able to calm their children down.

39 Women are good at taking care of children because
A．they devote much of their time and attention to them.
B．they want to stay at home.
C．they were born with this ability.
D．they learned to do it at school.

40 What does the author conclude?
A．He is better than his wife at taking care of children.
B．A child prefers to stay with his/her father.
C．A man can take good care of children if he gets the experience
D．A child prefers to stay with his/her mother.

Is the Tie a Necessity？
　　Ties, or neckties, have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties?
　　Maybe. Last week, the UK's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.
　　In fact， Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities （著名人士） without ties， which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.
　　For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party-almost even social occasion.
　　But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.
　　The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a "band". The term could mean anything around a man's neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear （颈饰） impressed Charles II， the king of England who was exi
