    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 Roy al 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 p.m. the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sun glasses 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 (接觸). ” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 p. m.

    Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11: 30 p.m. 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 (戴上手銬).”

    1. The underlined phrase “be in line for” (Paragraph1) means ______.

A．get

B．be paid

C．ask for

D．own

    2. 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

    3. Vicki’s heart missed a beat because _____.

A．the phone went again

B．she would be famous

C．the policemen had already arrived

D．she saw 20 policemen in the car-park

    4. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _______.

A．the passage

B．the man’s room

C．Vicki’s bedroom

D．the top floor room

    5. 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

In the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly with the rest of the world to supply players.

　 When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters (花名冊) will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.

　 The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.

　 “Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,: said Stern. The strategy（戰(zhàn)略）in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for more than 200 countries in 42 languages will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.

　 “It doesn’t matter where the players come from, al the NBA teams now know that they have to scout[攬得(人才)] internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers(同行). Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming – number one draft pick in 2003 – and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic – number two overall in this year’s draft – are icons(偶像) in-waiting. It is the ultimate revolution – the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.

1．The underlined phrase “take China by storm” means that ______ ．

　 A．NBA intends to make China its “marketing center”

　 B．NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China

　 C．there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against China men’s team

　 D．The NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China

2．What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?

　 A．NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the league．

　 B．China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA．

　 C．Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan．

　 D．The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball．

3．When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to ______．

　 A．farms in the States　　　　 B．native Americans

　 C．the NBA training center　　 D．the USA

4．Which of the following can be used as another good title for the passage?

　 A．The Non-American Basketball Players B．NBA Is Coming to China

　 C．The Foreign Ties That Bind the NBA D．NBA Is Making Great Progress

       The River Thames was once described as “biologically(生物學(xué)地) dead”. A waterway polluted with so much industrial waste that no wildlife could survive in it.

       Alastair Driver, the Environment Agency’s national conservation manager, said that in the last 150 years, the Thames had been polluted seriously and that it had taken thousands of people decades to restore it to its current condition. “Strict regulations for polluting industries and our work with farmers, businesses and water companies to reduce pollution and improve water quality have helped to make the Thames a living river once again.” But he warned that the river’s recovery was still “fragile”, since it was under the pressure from a growing population and climate change.

       Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, said, “The Thames is one of our most precious resources, so I am excited to see that efforts to improve and preserve its good health are being praised on the world stage.”

       The ￡ 220,000 prize, awarded at the International Rive Symposium in Australia, will go to the Thames Rivers Restoration Trust.
