Billy Joe Saunders is aiming for boxing gold at the Beijing Olympics but may have created history already.
As far as he knows, the 18-year-old welterweight from Hatfield is the first person from the Romany Gypsy community to qualify for an Olympic Games.
Billy Joe clinched (最終獲得)his place at a qualifying event in Italy earlier this month and is one of seven boxers to make Team GB for Beijing.
Billy Joe Saunders is not the only British boxer with genuine(真的)medal prospects for Beijing, but his background has to be the most fascinating.
He comes from the Romany Gypsy community and lives on a caravan site near Hatfield in Hertfordshire.
Boxing runs deep in the Saunders family, who are immensely proud of their heritage.
His brother Tommy is a professional(職業(yè)的), while his Dad Tom was an amateur and his great, great grandfather, the wonderfully named Absolom Beeny, now aged 96, used to make his living fighting in the old boxing booth at fairgrounds.
Billy Joe admits he has heard all the stories a hundred times, but once he and his brother had visited the local boxing club, he was hooked.
"Boxing has kept me off the streets, stops me smoking and drinking and gives me something to do", he said.
His background may be colorful, but make no mistake, Billy Joe Saunders is one very special boxer.
As a boy he wasn't the most naturally gifted, but had an inner toughness that set him apart from other fighters.
His trainer, Danny Hoy, said: "When I saw him have to dig down into his boots against much older boys, I thought this kid is not the same as anyone else. There is something with this kid".
It is that something which made Billy Joe a real prospect for London 2012, so qualification for Beijing means he is effectively four years ahead of schedule.
He remembers watching Amir Khan win silver in Athens four years ago, and wants to go one better. "I'm aiming for gold, simple as that", he said.
51.Where did Billy clinch his place as a boxer to make Team GB for Beijing.
A. At Beijing                                 B. At Romany Gypsy community     
C. In Italy                                                D. In Britain
52.The underlined word " amateur" (in Para. 3) here means ________
A. a person who takes part in boxing only for pleasure    
B. a person who takes part in boxing as his job
C. a coach who teaches boxing
D. a player who takes part in baseball
53.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Billy’s brother is a professional boxer.   
B. Absolom’s son is not a professional boxer.
C. Billy was very interested in the local boxing club.
D. Billy was the most naturally gifted when he was still a very young boy.
54.It can be inferred from the passage that________
A. His coach thought Billy was gifted to be a boxer when he saw Billy’s boots against older boys.
B. It was Boxing that has kept Billy off the streets.
C. Billy won a silver medal in Athens Olympic Games..
D. Billy will compete in Beijing Olympic Games four years ahead of his trainer’s schedule.
55.What is Billy hoping to win in Beijing Olympic Games?
A. A silver medal for boxing                      B. A gold medal for boxing  
C. A piece of gold                              D. A copper medal

It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, “I'll send Mum some roses(玫瑰).”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?” he asked. The assistant(店員) was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen(一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).
“No, I have to have red roses,” he said. “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite.”

Goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life.Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed.By setting goals you are taking control of your life.It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go.Think of it this way.There are two drivers.One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map.She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns.The other driver has no goal or destination or map.She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives without an aim around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil.Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals.Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident.Goals aren’t difficult to set---and they aren’t difficult to reach.It’s up to you to find out what your goals and ideals(理想) really are.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve.Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power.Like a contract(合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect(忽視) or forget.Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself be continuously alert(警覺) to situations that will further your goals.
60.The writer gave the example of two drivers to show_______________.
A.how stupid the first driver was              B.the importance of having a map
C.how stupid the second driver was            D.the importance of setting a goal
61.According to the passage, successful people are different from unsuccessful ones in that ______.
A.the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others
B.the unsuccessful people’s goals are often too big for them to realize
C.the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry them out
D.the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard
62.According to the passage, the most important thing in realizing one’s ideal is to_______.
A.try to be realistic about one’s ability
B.let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true
C.let others understand him or her first, then work together with them
D.have a clear mind of what he or she wants in life
63.Which is the best title for the passage?

Women turn to online shopping
Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time . Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004. They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of ComScore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time
“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.
60. Which of the following statements is true?
There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004.
Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
More women shopped online than men in 2004.
61. From the passage we can infer that ______________.
men usually decide how to spend money in the family
women usually decide what to buy in the family
the Internet is used in all the shops
more and more shops will sell their goods online
62. According to Dan Hess , shopping online ______________.
A. is unsafe          B. is convenient          C. is a waste of money      D. is cheaper
63. What can we know from the passage?
A. American people only gifts in holidays.
B. Shopping online is fun for women.
C. Shopping off-line provides better serve.        
D. Young people like to do gift-shopping online.

Dogs have long been used to find explosives and drugs.Now,a new study shows that man’s best friend can also help to find lung and breast cancer,researchers report in integrative Cancer Therapies.The findings show that trained ordinary household dogs can detect early—stage lung and breast cancers by smelling the breath samples of patients.
Researchers have found that cancer cells send out molecules different from those of healthy ones,and that might be sensed by smell by the highly sensitive dog’s nose.
For the study,five dogs were trained by a professional instructor to respond differently to breath samples of healthy and cancer patients.“The dogs learned to sit or lie down in front of cancer patient samples and to ignore control samples through the method of food reward,” McCulloch explained.
After a period of training,researchers tested the animals’ability to distinguish cancer patients from controls.The animals were given breath samples from 55 patients with lung cancer,3 1 with breast cancer and 83 healthy controls who were not included in the original training period.
McCulloch’s group found that the dogs were able to correctly distinguish the breath samples of cancer patients from those of the control subjects in about 90 percent of the cases.The dogs were also able to detecting early-stage lung and breast cancers.
“These results show that there is hope for early detection,”McCulloch said.The re-searches are planning to conduct further studies on the breath composition of cancer patients to possibly design an electronic device that can do the dogs’job.“A dog’s nose is so powerful it can detect odors(氣味)10 000 to 100 000 times better than a human nose can.I hope people will be interested in doing this research,”McCulloch added,“It shows that there is definitely something out there.”
65.McCulloch and his group used           in their research.
A.10 dogs and 55 people                                B.5 dogs and 86 people
C.10 dogs and 83 people                                 D.5 dogs and 169 people
66.The underlined work “distinguish” means
A.to make somebody feel better                      B.to recognize differences of
C.to remember somebody forever                    D.to discomfort somebody

A.dogs can smell signs of other cancers except the above two kinds
B.the final goal of the researchers is to design an electronic dog to detect cancer
C.dogs can detect odors 10 000 to 100 000 times better than humans can
