A
On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma（珠穆琅玛）! 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 form 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.

A. All the five torchbearers are men.
B. Only the five torchbearers reached the summit.
C. Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in their native language.
D. At least two of the five torchbearers are females.
58. 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
59. What would be the best title for the text?

B
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession（职业） stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (休闲), it is work.. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

BEIJING -- The death toll（伤亡人数） in the contaminated （被毒害）baby formula scandal has risen to four in China, with the death of a baby in northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, local authorities said on Thursday.
The latest death was at a hospital in the Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of Bayingolin, the Xinjiang Autonomous Regional Health Department said on its website (www.xjwst.gov.cn), but no more details were given about the victim.
In addition, 86 babies in the region had fallen ill after drinking the milk powder tainted with the chemical melamine（三聚氰胺）, which was believed to have helped to increase protein （蛋白质）content, the department said.
About 10.3 tonnes (公吨)of baby milk powder produced by the dairy giant Sanlu Group had been pulled off shelves in the region, it said.
The scandal （丑行）has also claimed the lives of three other babies, including two in northwestern Gansu Province and one in eastern Zhejiang Province.
The dairy giant Sanlu based in the Hebei provincial capital Shijiazhuang in north China was the first company exposed in the tainted milk powder scandal. It is 43 percent owned by New Zealand dairy company Fonterra and has been ordered to halt all its production lines.
Tian Wenhua, the sacked board chairwoman and general manager of Sanlu, has been detained by police for questioning.
Nationwide, more than 6,200 infants had developed kidney stones after drinking Sanlu's tainted baby formula, Health Minister Chen Zhu told reporters on Wednesday.
The State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine had carried out test samples involving 491 batches of products sold by all 109 companies that produced baby milk powder in the country. The inspectors found melamine in 69 batches of baby milk powder produced by 22 companies.
To date, 18 suspects in Shijiazhuang had been arrested. Six were charged with selling melamine, while the other 12 were dealers suspected of selling contaminated milk to Sanlu, said Shi Guizhong, spokesman for the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department, on Thursday at a press conference.
On Wednesday， the mayor of Shijiazhuang Ji Chuntang resigned as a result of the scandal.Earlier on Tuesday, four officials in the city were fired. They included Zhang Fawang, vice mayor in charge of agricultural production; Sun Renhu, the Shijiazhuang Municipal Animal Husbandry and Fishery Bureau director; Zhang Yi, Shijiazhuang Municipal Food and Drug Administration director.

One day I bought a house .One day —what a day ！—I became a father ,and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father .I thought then it was a milestone for me .One day ,when I was a little older ,I realized it was one for him too ,another milestone .

E
For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets．Most of these searches have been done over the radio．The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us．Scientists also have sent radio and television messages，as well as messages on spaceships travelling through space，on the chance that someone maybe receptive to such messages．Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1000 stars，all within 100 light years of Earth．In addition，they will scan（扫视） the entire sky to“listen”for radio messages from more distant stars．Using a computer， they will be able to monitor more than eight million channels at one time．Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise．
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy，scientists find that five percent are like our sun．Perhaps half of them have a planet like Earth．Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution（进化） of life．Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy，most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets supports some life．However，many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）life exists on other planets．Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there． They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely．
Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy．Although our sun family is only about five billion years old，our galaxy is about 20 billion years old．In that time some scientists think it is likely that civilizations（文明）much more advanced than ours have developed．Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals；perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us．If we hope to find intelligent life，the scientists believe that we have to keep looking．
72．According to the passage，how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable？A．5 billion． B．10 billion． C．15 billion． D．20 billion．
73．The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ____ ．
A．how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B．why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C．where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D．when scientists began to look for signs of life on other planets
74．The underlined word“monitor”in the passage means“____”．
A．find B．follow C．check D．form
75．Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage？
A．The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy．
B．Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets．
C．Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets．
D．Scientists don't believe that intelligent life exists on other planets．
No matter how difficult life is, promise me: Keep going !
