“New Beijing, Great Olympics,” as a poster, is seen everywhere around China’s capital.
For Ni Da, a 15-year-old basketball fan, the slogan（口号，标语）has an added meaning: If Beijing wins the right to host the 2008 Olympics, he can see all the games on TV.
“If we win the bid, there must be floods of coverage（报导范围）and I won’t worry about missing any of them. Besides, I can choose to see them on the spot or watch a broadcast live,” Ni says, holding his orange-colored basketball to his chest as he envisions watching the Olympics during his last year of college.
In the minds of millions of young Beijingers like Ni, the year 2008 represents dreams, pride and wealth. They all hope Beijing will be outstanding during the competition to host the world’s biggest sports events.
According to schedule, the International Olympic Committee is to cast a final vote on July 13 to choose the host city. This will be Beijing’s second attempt to host the Games. In 1993, Beijing lost to Sydney by a margin of two votes in the hosting competition.

Anybody running a company knows that a well-planned conference can greatly improve the performance of that business. The main reason for this is that it takes your employees away from the daily workplace and offers them somewhere fresh for a short time. However, unless the conference is well thought out, it will not have the best results and you will have wasted a great deal of money.
The first step is to find the right place. Can your employees easily reach the conference centre? Is it near a railway station? Is it close to a good fast road? Has it plenty of suitable parking space? If you are going to choose a hotel, then perhaps the hotel has cheaper rates at weekends or, if it is a popular tourist area, midweek rates may be cheaper.
Another important requirement is food and drink. Breakfast is a time when people can relax before the day’s work begins, but you may not want a long break for lunch in the middle of the day. Buffet lunches are very popular for this reason. Then there is dinner, which most employees consider a reward for a day’s hard work!
Whatever your needs are, it is very necessary to think ahead if you want a successful conference.
66. The purpose of this text is to
.
A. complain about how hard it is to choose a conference centre
B. describe what makes a good conference centre
C. persuade employers to choose a conference hotel
D. advise employees where to stay for a conference
67.Why would somebody read the text?
A. To find out about organizing conferences. B. To learn how to reward good employees
C. To find out about running a hotel
D. to learn some details about conference centres.
68. What is very important when choosing a conference centre?
A. Cheap food and drink
B. Free car parking
C. Good transport connections
D. Popular tour areas
69. Why does the writer think a buffet lunch is a good idea?
A. It’s relaxing
B. It’s quick
C. It’s cheap
D. It’s tasty
70. What does an employee want to get at dinner according to this passage?
A. Some prize
B. Some food
C. Some relaxation
D. A hotel
（C）
Difficult times often bring out the best in people. And this was the case for basketball star Yao Ming, who hosted a television show in Shanghai that raised US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS. Fundraising, or charity, is an act of goodwill towards others. Charities in the West have more flexible ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a wealthy woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. The door bell rings and there, on Ruth’s doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dress to wear to that evening’s large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick. Within five minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesn’t stop because she doesn’t think she’d find a suitable dress there—it’s full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and but all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.
For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish author Henry Drummond.
71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story as a way of fundraising?
A. Charity party
B. Charity post
C. Charity TV program
D. Charity for beggars.
72. What does the word “raise” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Collect together
B. Donate
C. Increase
D. Bring to someone’s attention.
73. We can infer from the passage that
.
A. Yao Ming donated US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS
B. Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for others
C. Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tired
D. Ruth is angry because so many people ask her for money every day
74. What’s the writer’s attitude towards charity?
A. The writer thinks it’s something only people like Ruth can afford to do
B. The writer just wants to inform us of the different ways to practice charity
C. The writer thinks it’s a virtue and admires the people who practice it
D. The writer doesn’t make it clear in the story
75. The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means that
.
A. when you look back sometimes, you need stand out
B. when you want to do something for others, you need stand out
C. the moment you stand out, you can do something for others
D. what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others
