Dear Editor, I’mconfused these days. We are taught at home and at school that violence(暴力)is bad. For example,last week, my friend and I were playing at the beach .We found a reallybeautiful shell. My friend picked it up ,but I saw it first ,and I said it wasmine. He said ,no, it was his. I really want the shell ,and I even thoughtabout hitting him ,that’s how angry I was. Nowshould that be right? No ! I shouldn’t use violence. I should talk with myfriend instead, and solve that. My parents and teachers often tell me thatusing violence is the least civilized(文明)way to solve problems. So,if adults had a disagreement ,and if they used violence toward each other inorder to win, is it all right ? No! Now,I’m confused. When two countries disagree, they often use violence. They fighta war. Using violence is not okey at home, at school, or in your country butokey between two countries, why? A waris extreme violence. So not only soldiers but citizens(公民), including smallchildren and babies have been killed and injured because of wars. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace.But can you really “make peace” by using violence and killing so many people? Idon’t think that bombs and missiles(炸弹和导弹)can reach people’s hearts and change them.Bombs and missiles can’t create love and caring ,and that’s what we need in theworld. Why can’t they use their wisdom(智慧)and talk itover? 46.What happened to Joshua and his friend last weekat the beach? A.They had afight. B.Joshua hit his friend. C.They had a class aboutviolence. D.They found a beautifulshell 47.How should we solve problems according to thisletter? A.We should argue aboutthe problems B.We should study atschool. C.We should use our wisdomand talk them over. D.We should use violence. 48.Which opinion is mentioned in the letter? A.Violence can solve theproblems. B.We should fight wars. C.A war is extremeviolence. D.Bombs and missiles canreach people’s hearts. 49.What does the sentence “Bombs and missiles can’tcreate love and caring ,and that’s what we need in the world.” mean? A.We need to use violenceto solve problems. B.What we need is bombsand missiles. C.We need bombs andmissiles to create love and caring. D.What we need in theworld is love and caring. 50.What’s the letter about? It’sabout . A.Joshua’s thoughts aboutwars B.Joshua’sstory C.hate andlove D.arguments 第二卷(共45分)

VIII.阅读表达(共15分)
阅读下面短文,按要求完成各项任务。
A Most people can thinkof a sport they would love to see in the Olympics. But they often don’t realizehow hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics .A sport needs to bewell-organized and popular before the Interracial Olympic Committee (IOC) willconsider it. An international federation must govern(控制)the sport by makingrules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards(标准). What’s more ,men from at least 75 countries and women from atleast 40 must play the sport.
However ,even meeting those conditions isn’t enough. The IOCalways tries to keep the member of athletes at about 10,000 for each Olympics.Since most modern Olympics already include so many athletes ,introducing a newsport often means cutting other events .
The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest whatnew sports should be included. While new sports are added to the Olympics ,mostof them will simply become events in another sports meeting. In Beijing, openwater swimming will become part of swimming, while women’s steeplechase(障碍赛)will be added to athletics.
