A
Whatever you call him, American swimmer Michael Phelps becomes a household name across the world after breaking the Olympic record for most gold medals in a single Games. Phelps’ total of eight gold medals in Beijing put him one ahead of the competitor Mark Spitz’s record in 1972.
Michael Phelps dominated(支配)the field in seven of his races and set an amazing seven world records in the process. He did, however, have one close shave in the 100m butterfly which he won by just0.01 seconds, and in another he had to compete with a faulty pair of glasses.
Now people are already calling him the greatest Olympian of all time. But whether he is or not, what is it that makes Michael Phelps so good?
A good place to start might be his physique. Phelps has the perfect body shape for a swimmer. His arm span is longer than his height, he has very flexible joints, huge lungs, and his
incredibly large feet(size 14 in the US, size 49 in China)act like flippers in the water.
To feed his huge swimmer’s body, Phelps eats an astonishing 12,00 calories a day, six times the average for a man of his age. According to his coach, Phelps starts with a breakfast of champions：Three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, tomatoes, fried onions, five egg pies, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast and three pancakes with chocolate chips.
He then puts on a swimsuit which has been making waves in the world of swimming. Designed by NASA, the American space agency, the suit is made of a special material which is said to help athletes swim 2％faster.
Michael Phelps should spare a thought for his mum, who first pushed him into swimming as a way of making friends, and who believed in him when one teacher said he would never be a success.
Whatever the reason for his SUCCESS, Phelps admits there was perhaps also a bit of luck involving in winning his eight medals. “I guess eight is a lucky number for me, too, now. The opening ceremony started on 8／8／08. Maybe it was meant to be,” he said.
41. The passage is written mainly about .
A. Phelps’ achievement in the 29th Olympics
B. a life story of Phelps
C. the struggle of Phelps
D. the secrets of Phelps’ success

B. Mark Spitz won seven gold medals in thel972 Olympics.
C. Phelps’ mother said he would never be a success.
D. Phelps won the 100 m butterfly just by 0. 01 seconds.

A. be called the flying fish all over the world
B. have set up the new record for most gold medals in the Olympics
C. have broken the world records of till the games he competed in
D. have a large amount of food every day
44. According to the passage, we may draw a conclusion about Phelps that”.
A. Success=physique +huge diet +faulty glasses +family
B. Success=huge diet +swimsuit +family +practice
C. Success=physique +swimsuit +huge diet +luck
D. Success=huge diet +family +practice +large feet

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated（生氣的, 不耐煩的）, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah sure, what is it？”replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.”
“Oh, ” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?”
The father was furious（生氣的）, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.
“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation（怒氣）on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you, daddy！”He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皺皺巴巴的）up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.
“Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow.
I would like to have dinner with you.”

B
One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected （可疑的） police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious （懷疑） of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed .”
45. The underlined phrase “be in line for” （ paragraph 1 ） means __
A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own
46. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because __________.
A. the police called her
B. he looked very strange
C. he came to the hotel with little luggage
D. he came to the hotel the day before New Year's Eve
47. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ________.
A. the passage B. the man's room C. Vicki's bedroom D. the top floor room
48. The whole event probably lasted about _______ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.
A. 6 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14
