    　　Two teenagers had to be saved from a steep mountain-side in Scotland earlier today．They were members of a part of youngest who were in the second week of a fortnight's camping in the mountains．The two boys, both from Birmingham, had been with a party of ten others who, with an experienced guide and mountaineer, had been on a two-day climb away from the main party．They had become separated from the others and it wasn't until late yesterday afternoon that the alarm was raised and a search party was organized．

    　　The search which was called off late yesterday evening when thick fog set in, was begun again early this morning and the boys were seen halfway up on a steep cliff(悬崖)face．Climbers quickly discovered that one of the boys had broken his leg and he was taken off the mountain by helicopter and flown to the nearest hospital．It is believed that the two went off exploring on their own and then got stuck on the cliff．

    Reading Comprehension

    　　Walking with long steps on purpose, Barack Obama appears to have arrived to visit an elementary school he attended as a boy．But wait．It's not real Obama．The US president is back in Washington DC．

    　　So who is this guy?He's Ilham Anas, 34, a teen-magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his striking resemblance to Obama and turned it into his own brand of celebrity and wealth．

    　　Since his sister told him in 2007 that he looked like the then-presidential candidate, Ana's face and big smile have been seen on Southeast Asian TV and the Internet, appearing in the advertisements of medicine and other products．He has also shown up on his nation's television-talk show．Anas' resemblance to the president has turned his life around 180 degrees．He's even written an autobiography Because of Obama．

    　　Anas is the first to admit that he's an impostor(冒牌货)．But he'll also tell you that he's in incredible demand．“I've got so much work I can't handle it all,”he said．

    　　But when his sister first mentioned the resemblance, he dismissed it．Then a colleague at the magazine asked him to pose as Obama in front of a US flag．He also refused．“I'm a photographer, not an object for the camera,”he said．

    　　As soon as he accepted the idea, his career took off．The married father of two children is rarely home these days．Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the elementary school Obama once attended．Anas sat in the classroom where the president studied．He spoke a few lines in English．The moment he opened his mouth, however, the differences became apparent．“Obama is a baritone(男中音),”Anas said．“I'm not．I sound like a little boy．”He is also shorter than the president．But he makes up for that by practising Obama's typical actions．Before public appearances, he spends hours in front of the mirror posing, gesturing, flashing that smile．

    　　Anas said he hasn't changed his appearance much for the role．He wears his hair just like he did in high school．But he did shape his eyebrows to look more like those of the president．

    　　He used to dislike looking into the mirror because of his average appearance．Now he no longer considers himself as an average guy, but a superstar．

    　　Now, he hopes that Obama will win a second term in the White House．“The longer he's in office, the longer my fame will last,”he said．

    (1)

    [　　]

    A．

    wrote a biography for President Obama

    B．

    looks like President Obama

    C．

    attended the same school as President Obama used to attend

    played many roles in films

    (2)

    [　　]

    A．

    Famous．

    B．

    Wealthy．

    C．

    Handsome．

    D．

    Busy．

    (3)

    The underlined sentence“he's in incredible demand”means ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    his advertisement business is very booming

    B．

    he demands better pay from his boss

    C．

    he is planning to increase the production

    D．

    [　　]

    A．

    is taller than President Obama

    B．

    is older than President Obama

    C．

    is a baritone

    D．

    is proud of his appearance

    is not satisfied with his appearance

    C．

    often keeps in touch with President Obama

    　　Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mum's storytelling to Dad's, researchers said．

    　　They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often．

    　　More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents．

    　　"The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in children's lives," said child psychologist Richard Woolfson．

    　　Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of 500 children aged 3-8 in Britain．

    　　The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said．

    　　When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do：over 30 percent of children said they would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson．

    　　"It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their child's development," said Woolfson．

    第一节：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    　　This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

    Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

    　　Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).

    　　Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. "Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."

    　　At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "

    1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.

    　　A. twenty three hundred　　　   B. thirteen hundred

    　　C. over three thousand 　　　　 D. less than two thousand

    2. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____ .

    　　A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.

    　　B. send students in America to travel in Germany

    　　C. let students learn something about other countries

    　　D. have teen-agers learn new languages

    3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .

    　　A. American food tasted better than German food

    　　B. German schools were harder than American schools

    　　C. Americans and Germans were both friendly

    　　D. There were more cars on the streets in America

    4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .

    　　A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings

    　　B. there are a lot of after-school activities

    　　C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all

    D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

    5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .

    　　A. a better education should include something good from both America and Germany

    　　B. German schools trained students to be better citizens

    　　C. American schools were not as good as German schools

    　　D. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students
