    Bicycles for rent could become as common as newspaper stands and mail boxes on Germany’s street corners if a scheme launched by Deutsche Bahn is successful.
    The German rail operator has launched a bicycle-hire scheme designed for simple one-way trips.
    “It’s a new concept,”said Andreas Knie, head of the project.
    Users must first register with Call-A-Bike at a cost of 15 euros（US$14.7）. With a simple phone call, they can hire one of the many bikes parked outside stations, at a cost of 3 to 5 cents per minute. At the end of their journey, they ring a computer and tell it where the bike is parked.
    The bikes are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
    No one will be breaking speed records with Call-A-Bike bicycles. They weigh in at 25 kilograms, at least double the weight of a normal bicycle, though they do have eight gears（齿轮）.
    “They are pretty heavy, but we don’t want people taking them on the train or into the subway,” Knie said.
    They are also designed with parts that do not fit a normal bicycle. Even the screws are irregular and the bike looks so odd that thieves would stand out.
    Vandalism and theft have led to the downfall of previous schemes which date back to Amsterdam’s 1966“White Bike”scheme.
    In that short-lived experiment, anti-establishment groups painted bikes white and left them around the Dutch capital.
    However, many were taken permanently and repainted, while the police took away others on the basis that ownerless bikes were street rubbish.
    Copenhagen, Vienna and Helsinki also have free bike schemes, in which users deposit a coin in Copenhagen’s case 20 crowns（US$2.50）—to free a bike from a rack.
    “The advantage these schemes have is ease of use. But because they’re so cheap, people tend to hold on to the bikes and then there are none on the streets,”the person in charge said.
    Oslo is also planning a bike-hire system where users will pay a symbolic fee of 50 Norwegian crowns（US$6.50）for unlimited use in the city for a year.
    Users will buy an electronic identity card as a key that will register when the bike is parked or taken from a rack.
    59. How many European countries have already launched the free bike schemes?
    A. Four.                                B. Five.                                C. Six.                                   D. Seven.
    60.What can be learned about Amsterdam’s 1966“White Bike”scheme?
    A. The bicycles were twice as heavy as a normal bicycle.
    B. A heavy rain stopped the scheme from being carried out.
    C. Some bicycles were damaged or stolen and the scheme failed.
    D. The police ended the scheme for traffic safety
    61.What can be inferred from the text?
    A. Bicycles for rent have become as common as newspaper stands and mail boxes on Germany’s street corners.
    B. The bikes in Germany are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
    C. German bicycles for rent are designed specially so that they will draw people’s attention.
    D. Germany has taken some measures to stop the bicycles for rent from being taken away.
    62.Which do you think is the best title?
    A. Free Bicycles for Europeans.                                  
    B. Tough Transporters.
    C. Customer is King.                                                      
    D. Unpractical Scheme.

    第三节：阅读理解（共25小题; 每小题2分, 满分50分）
    It was 3:12 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling（爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.
    With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn (草坪).
    The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to woke her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”
    On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
    First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
    He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
    Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
    Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
    1．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
    A．He wanted to find out what was happening.  
    B．He was worried about his mother’s safety.
    C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.    
    D．He went to see if his father had come back from work.
    2．How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother?
    A．By throwing water all over her and her bed.    
    B．By carrying her to safety with his brother.
    C．By pushing and pulling at her.              
    D．By tying a string to her hand.
    3．Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
    A．Glenn.    B．Glenn’s father.     C．Glenn’s sister.    D．Glenn’s neighbor.
    4．What did Glenn do to protect himself?
    A．He put a wet cloth around his head.      B．He threw water all over himself.
    C．He hid himself in the bathroom.         D．He rushed out to the lawn.
    5．Glenn saved his family because___________.
    A．his father had taught him to do so on the phone   
    B．he had learned something about first aid
    C．he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely 
    D．he had followed his mother’s instruction

    When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles  36  he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.

If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.
    Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He  43  shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and  44  on defense. His  45  showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that  46 .
    When the Celtics  47  and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench.  48 , they stood and cheered and  49  for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and  50 .
    Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still  51  the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnet, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong  52 . They are more than just teammates. They are  53 .
    The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to  54  the Eastern Conference championship again this year.
    There is a saying that  55 , “A successful team beats with one heart.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

    About 1 million adult New Yorkers are obese(肥胖的), but nearly two-thirds of them don’t think they are, according to a study released on Tuesday by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene(卫生).
    Among the obese, who account for about one in five New Yorkers, only 39% described themselves as “very overweight”, according to the report. 2% said they were very underweight, 1% said they were slightly underweight, 16% said they were just right and 42% said they were slightly over weight.
    Some 2 million more New Yorkers are overweight, the report said, and one in five children in kindergarten is obese.
    Only 44% of the city’s adults are at a healthy weight, and nearly 75% say they do not participate in(参加) any regular physical activity.
    New York City’s adult obesity rate was 20% in 2003 compared with 23% nationwide in 2004.The national average has nearly doubled from 12% in 1993, the report said.
    Overweight and obese are defined by body mass index, or BMI (=" kg/m)" , which is based on a person’s weight , adjusted(调整) for height, the department said.
    Being obese means having a BMI of 30 or greater, while being overweight means a BMI of more than 25 but less than 30.
    A 5-foot, 10-inch (1.78-meter) man weighing 175 pounds(79kg) would have a BMI of 25.1 and be considered overweight according to the department . If he weighed 210 pounds (95kg), he would have a BMI of 30.1 and be obese.

    Losing a baby tooth can be fun for a kid. You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. And then you can watch your new permanent(永恒的) tooth grow in its place.
    But if a permanent tooth falls out, that’s a problem. There isn’t another one under the gum(齿龈)that can replace it. Unfortunately, this happens to some older people. And if permanent teeth fall out or need to be pulled, an older person might need dentures.
    Dentures, known as false teeth, are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing. There are partial dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. If all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures, which replace every tooth in the mouth.
    Dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to. They also need special care. They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked（浸泡） in denture solution when not in the mouth.
    Dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, it’s hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. But it can be a little weird if you see someone take out his or her dentures. It can also be strange to see someone, like a grandparent, without dentures in because he or she won’t have any teeth. Try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings.
    People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease（牙周炎）, or gum disease, which is caused by bacteria that attacks the gums. Diseased gums aren’t strong and healthy, so teeth can get loose and fall out. Older people often have many cavities(洞)that have been filled over the years, and these fillings can weaken over time, leading to more tooth problems.
    小题1:If one of your baby teeth falls out, you     .
    A．should have a false tooth fixed in its placeB．have to put it under your pillow at once
    C．will gain a permanent tooth in futureD．can exchange it for some money
    小题2:A person wearing dentures     .
    A．should brush them with a special denture brush every few days
    B．will take a very long time to adjust himself or herself to them
    C．will experience unpleasant feelings at the beginning of fixing them
    D．should use denture solution to soak them in his or her mouth
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Partial dentures can prevent the remaining teeth from changing position.
    B．Old people will find it hard to smile, talk, and eat properly without teeth.
    C．A person’s teeth will possibly get loose if diseases strike his gums.
    D．It is hard for a person to wear dentures if all his teeth have fallen out.
    小题4:What does the underlined word “weird” mean in the fifth paragraph?
    A．inconvenientB．excitedC．uncomfortableD．impolite

    It has always been said that women are not good drivers, because they simply don't have very good driving ability. On the other hand, most car accidents happen to men; very few happen to women.
    From this, we can see that women are much more careful while driving. Another very interesting fact that we should point out is that in the past, women preferred to let their husbands be the only driver in the family rather than have a driving license. Somehow they were prevented from making this step in their lives, but nowadays there are many women that want to pass their driving tests from an early age.
    However, we have to admit that men are more skillful drivers than women, but this does not mean that a woman cannot become a good driver by accumulating (积累) experience. So more and more teenagers and women around the age of thirty now want to pass their driving tests. While taking their driving lessons, they also have a number of special lessons with their parents or somebody in the family that has a driving license, this is just to improve their driving abilities and help them to pass the tests more easily.
    To conclude, we can say that women are not such bad drivers. They just need more experience than men in order to be able to drive well. And on the other hand, there are a number of women that show better driving skills than the men around them.
    67. Compared with the past, nowadays many women___.
    A. prefer to have a driving license
    B. have more accidents while driving
    C. are somehow prevented from driving
    D. are the only driver in the family
