Five days after the London marathon, when the hard experience and muscle ache were just memory for every other runner, Lloyd Scott, a cancer survivor, lumbered across the finish line in his deep-sea diver’s suit to a hero’s welcome yesterday.

Cold, heavy, wet

Lloyd was interviewed by reporters from BBC and he introduced his difficult experience of his unforgettable London marathon. “During the time I’m walking, I have to pay attention to a great deal. Although I used to be a firefighter, I can’t get used to putting on the cold, heavy, wet deep-sea diver’s suit to run the marathon. At such bad moments, I think of the money I’m raising for Clic which provides a service for children and families. But the hardest thing happens exactly

each morning. When I wake up, I have to find out what hurts and how much. You can not imagine how hard it is to get into the cold and wet diving suit with all your muscles cold and having to think about what will happen next, because I also have very poor eyesight and cannot see the broken stones on the roadside.”

Excellent example

Paul Simons, an officer, thinks Lloyd has demonstrated a very British sense of determination. He describes Lloyd as an excellent example to all the nation, who has a unique part of British character that the whole people need.

He really did something “larger than life” that is very close to his heart. He once ran across the Jordan Desert dressed as Indian Jones, climbed the Everest and walked to the South Pole… and this time his London marathon run successfully won him a place in the record books „„ for the slowest ever marathon.

The film festival at Cannes (戛纳电影节) in France started this week. It is

the world's most famous film festival --- it will be covered by more than 4000

reporters! The highest award is the Palme d'Or (French for "Golden Palm"---

金

- 3 -

棕榈奖). More than 1000 films will be shown over a two-week period.

The Cannes Film Festival is quite old ,it has been around for 60 years. But that's only half as old as film-making itself ! Photography or the art of "still pictures" was invented in the 1820s. It was only in the 1890s that "moving pictures" were invented. The Lumiere brothers (Auguste and Louis) in France invented a device (设备) to record and show moving pictures. They called it the "cinematographe", from which we get the word "cinema". Their first film was "La Sortie des usines Lumière", which was just 48 seconds long! They did the first paid public showing of their films at the Grand Cafe in Paris on December 28, 1895. Many scholars view this event as the "birth of cinema". You can still watch these films if you want.

The Lumiere brothers didn't think that their invention would really be useful. Gee, were they wrong!! Years later, Louis Lumiere was asked to become the first president of a film festival ---the Cannes film festival!

71. Cannes Film Festival is one of the most famous film festivals in the world.

72. “Golden Lion” is the highest award for the festival.

73. People can enjoy less than one thousand films during two weeks.

74. According to the passage, film-making has a history of 60 years.

75. Moving pictures didn‟t appear until 1890s.

76. “Cinema” was born in France when the Lumiere brothers showed their first film.

77. The Lumiere brothers became the first presidents of the Cannes Film Festival.

If you are sitting at a table with people you don‟t know, it is impolite to smoke without first asking if it will disturb them.

At American restaurants and coffee shops, cold water is usually served before you order. You may find the bread and the butter are free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.

Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores and restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in big cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Servings in restaurants are often large. If you can‟t finish the meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask the waiter or the waitress for a “doggie bag”(剩菜袋). It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking the food for yourself.

Tips are not usually added to the check. You should leave a tip of about 15% on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a waiter or waitress often bring your check on a plate, and you can put your money there. Then the waiter or the waitress brings you your changes.

Five days after the London marathon, when the hard experience and muscle

ache were just memory for every other runner, Lloyd Scott, a cancer survivor,

lumbered (行动迟钝) across the finish line in his deep-sea diver’s suit to a hero’s

welcome yesterday.

Cold, heavy, wet

Lloyd was interviewed by reporters from BBC and he introduced his difficult experience of his unforgettable London marathon. "During the time I'm walking, I have to pay attention to a great deal. Although I used to be a firefighter, I can‟t get used to putting on the cold, heavy, wet deep-sea diver‟s suit to run the marathon. At such bad moments, I think of the money I'm raising for Clic which provides a service for children and families. But the hardest thing happens exactly each morning. When I wake up, I have to find out what hurts and how much. You can not imagine how hard it is to get into the cold and wet diving suit with all your muscles still cold and having to think about what will happen next, because I also have very poor eyesight and cannot see the broken stones on the roadside.”

Excellent example

Paul Simons, an officer, thinks Lloyd has a very British sense of determination. He describes Lloyd as an excellent example to all the nation, who has a unique part of British character that the whole people need. Karen Sugarman, another fundraiser of Clic thinks of Lloyd as Superman and an inspiration to many of the sufferers throughout the UK.

Years ago, Lloyd was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer, he told himself it was not his end. He has come through that darkest period and he hopes that this run will encourage anyone else not to give up hope.

As a cancer survivor, Lloyd Scott is a mixture of fundraiser and inspiration. He is serious about his charity work for Cancer and Children Care. He really did something „larger than life‟ that is very close to his heart. He once ran across the Jordan Desert dressed as Indian Jones, climbed the Everest and walked to the South Pole… and this time his London marathon run successfully won him a place in the record books - for the slowest ever marathon.

B.下面是一篇介绍未来生活的短文。 请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，完成下列表格(每题2分共10分）。

Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place. But what will the changes be?

The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them live longer than people do now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools then.

People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and buses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead, they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. As a result, many people will not have enough work to do. That will be a problem.

The film festival at Cannes (戛纳电影节) in France started this week. It is

the world's most famous film festival --- it will be covered by more than 4000

reporters! The highest award is the Palme d'Or (French for "Golden Palm"---金

棕榈奖). More than 1000 films will be shown over a two-week period.

The Cannes Film Festival is quite old ,it has been around for 60 years. But

that's only half as old as film-making itself ! Photography or the art of "still pictures" was invented in the 1820s. It was only in the 1890s that "moving pictures" were invented. The Lumiere brothers (Auguste and Louis) in France invented a device (设备) to record and show moving pictures. They called it the "cinematographe", from which we get the word "cinema". Their first film was "La Sortie des usines Lumière", which was just 48 seconds long! They did the first paid public showing of their films at the Grand Cafe in Paris on December 28, 1895. Many scholars view this event as the "birth of cinema". You can still watch these films if you want.

The Lumiere brothers didn't think that their invention would really be useful. Gee, were they wrong!! Years later, Louis Lumiere was asked to become the first president of a film festival ---the Cannes film festival!

71. Cannes Film Festival is one of the most famous film festivals in the world.

72. “Golden Lion” is the highest award for the festival.

73. People can enjoy less than one thousand films during two weeks.

74. According to the passage, film-making has a history of 60 years.
