LONDON—British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Wednesday that boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games is not the right path to take.
“We are ever excited about prospects for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing，” Miliband said in an interview with Chinese reporters in London before his visit to China.
“Everything we have seen and read suggests that preparations are proceeding in an excellent way.We very much look forward to a very successful Olympics，successful for China and successful for the world.We certainly believe that boycotts are not a right way，” he said.
“China has big responsibilities around the world.We are looking forward to working with the Chinese government to ensure the values of stability，security and social justice.And only today I spoke with (Chinese Foreign Minister) Yang about our joint work that could help the situation in Darfur.And the Chinese envoy(特使) to Darfur is in London today，that sort of engagement is the right way to go and boycotts are not the right way，” Miliband said.
“The prime minister (Gordon Brown) is determined to represent the whole of the country with his attendance to the Games，” he added.
Miliband expressed his high regard to the bilateral(双边的)relations between Britain and China.“I can't think about a time that our relations are stronger，that is symbolized by the visit of the prime minister to China last month but also by cultural events like China now going on in Britain.”
British people are fascinated by the changes and improvements going on in China，and are trying to build bridges between the two nations，the foreign secretary said.
“Both our countries are challenged by the facts of globalization.Economic and social changes are producing challenges for both the societies，challenges about security and stability，challenges about justice，challenges about environment，and the theme of my visit is how our two countries can work together and learn from each other in adapting to these challenges，” the secretary told Chinese reporters.

【解析】：归纳标题题。文章第一段是全文的主题段，由此可概括出标题。
C
A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness.His legs were so hurt that he couldn't move.What was the worst was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of work.Nothing could be done but to wait in cold wilderness.8 hours later，day broke，and then the rescue arrived.
It is almost unimaginable that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long.Even more surprising was his explanation：“First of all I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in fatal danger.As there was no way to call for help，I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from bleeding.In this way I dozed (打盹)off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the failure of an exploration adventure that happened last year.A group of young men tried to explore a mountain cave and got lost.Unable to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of direction.Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion.The place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the opening of the cave！If they tried to calm themselves，they would probably sense a faint light shining not far away.
Don't you think that you can compare it with life itself？When you meet with obstacles (障碍) in life and work，you are lost in darkness.Mind you it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle immediately.But a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage.　　
8.What was the greatest trouble for the writer's friend?
A．It was very dark.
B．He was hurt and couldn't move.
C．He couldn't get help with his mobile phone.
D．It was very cold.
【答案】 C
【解析】：推理判断题，可用逻辑推断法来解。由原文第一节“What was the worst was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of work.”可以推出作者朋友面临的最大困难是手机没电无法与外界取得联系获取帮助。
9.What did the writer's friend do when he was waiting for help?
A．He checked his physical conditions.
B．He tried to keep his wound from bleeding.
C．He slept for a while.
D．All the above.
【答案】 D
【解析】：细节判断题，可用直接就题找文法来解。原文第二节“First of all I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in fatal danger.As there was no way to call for help，I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from bleeding.In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”体现答案。
10.How did the writer's friend feel when he was waiting for help?
A．Horrible. B．Worried. C．Angry. D．Calm.
【答案】 D
【解析】：推理判断题，可用逻辑推断法来解。由作者朋友事故之后所做的事情可以推出他当时很镇静。

16.A.Lost　　B．Change　C．Quit　D．finished

17.A.condition B．place C．sight D．show
【答案】C
【解析】：根据句意可知，在这个商店里，像这样的情景(sight)是不正常的，所以我十岁的孩子注意到了他。condition条件，place地方，show表演，均不符合题意。
18.A.suggestion B．comment C．decision D．call
【答案】B
【解析】：根据后面how bad it must be...可知，这个十岁的孩子是对这个人的行为作出了评论(comment)。make a comment on对……作出评论，符合语境。make a suggestion提建议；make a decision作决定；make a call打电话。
19.A.outside B．proudly C．by D．angrily

23． A.easy B．low C．soft D．loose
【答案】B
【解析】：根据上句的意思“我(对送其礼品卡这件事情)考虑了一下”可知，作者考虑到了他们碰到的不太好的情况“我们本身带的现金不足(low on cash，即手头拮据)”。此处low意为“少，低”，符合原文语境。easy容易的；soft柔软的；loose松的。

When I was ten,I was suddenly faced with the suffering of moving from the only home I had ever known. My whole life,brief as it was, had been spent in that big old house, gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations.
When the final day came, I ran to the small backyard and sat alone, with tears welling up from my heart. Suddenly I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I looked up to see my grandfather. "It isn't easy, is it, Billy?" he said softly, sitting down on the steps beside me.
"Grandpa," I replied through my tears," how can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?"
For a moment he just stared off into the apple trees." Goodbye is such a sad word," he said. "It seems too final, too cold, for friends to use. We seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye and they all have one thing in common : sadness . When you and your friends must part, I want you to reach deep within you and bring back that first hello. Come with me, my friend. "he whispered.
We walked , hand in hand , to his favorite place in the front yard, where a huge red rosebush sat noticeably alone. Kneeling, he pulled me close." It isn't just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It's that special place in your heart that makes them so."
His eyes met mine again. "Billy, I planted these roses a long time ago-before your mother came to the world. I put them into the soil the day my first son was born. It was my way of saying " thank you " to God . That boy's name was Billy , just like yours. I used to watch him pick roses for his mother." I saw my grandfather's tears. I had never seen him cry before. His voice became hoarse(沙哑）.

参考范文
Paragraph 1:
"One day a terrible war came , my son said goodbye to me and went for the war. Ten months later a telegram came. My son had died in some tiny village in Italy. All I could think of was that the last thing I said to him in life was goodbye."Grandpa slowly stood up. "Don't ever say goodbye, Billy. Don't ever give in to the sadness and the loneliness of that word. I want you remember to take that special hello and lock it away within you."
Paragraph 2:
A year and a half later, my grandfather became seriously ill.
When he returned after several weeks in the hospital , he wanted his bed next to the window, where he could see his beloved rosebush. I noted how tired he looked. I took his hand as gently as he had once taken mine."Hello,Grandpa,"I whispered.His eyes slowly.
