  The venue of the 2012 Summer Olympics was officially awarded to London during the 117th IOS Session in Singapore on July 6,2005. Since then,London has been up to its neck in preparing for the games.

  London has a lot to be excited about being the next Olympic venue requires a major eco?nomic development in terms of tourism and infrastructure(基础设施) development as well as job generation and transportation systems expansion.

  Indeed, as early as 2004, plans for the Olympic Park were already known as part of London's bid. Standing on a 500-acre property specifically for the games, the Olympic Park will have a hockey centre,a handball arena,a water polo arena,a basketball arena and the Olympic Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies will be held.

  It is expected that the Olympic Stadium alone would be a major attraction in itself,as it is designed to seat up to 80,000 spectators from all around the world.

  Although construction is still on-going,the improved Greenway walking and cycle paths provide an ideal advantage point for curious tourists to see much of the park.

  Along with the Olympic Park,Westfield Stratford City shopping center is also being devel?oped as part of the overall blueprint of the infrastructure preparations for the 2012 Olympics.

  It is said one of the factors that won London its bid is its plans of modernising its transport system. Public transport in London will be expanded.

  To directly transport commuters(月票乘客) from St. Pancras International to the Olympic Park,a high speed shuttle train will be put up. And of course, London minicabs will be as read-y as ever to serve.

Almost half a million tourists,athletes,and spectators are expected to come for the Olym?pics. This is a huge opportunity for generating both private and public income before, during and even after the games. There is no doubt the legacy of the Olympic Games will be felt in London long after 2012.

  A super drug that could remove Alzheimer's(痴呆症) ,heart disease and diabetes(糖屎病) and help people live to 100 is being developed by scientists. Their research is based on the iden?tification of three genes that improve long and healthy lives and prevent diseases of aging. Medi?cally controlling the proteins made by the " longevity genes" will allow millions to live longer, predicts Nir Barzilai.

Those people whose DNA strongly features the three genes are 80 percent less likely to de?velop Alzheimer's. The genes also fight against the deadly impact of smoking, bad diet,obesity and lack of exercise.

  Already,several laboratories are working on a pill to imitate the benefits of the genes and Dr Barzilai thinks it could be tested within three years. The pill could remove some diseases that damage the old people. "The advantage of finding a gene that involves longevity is that we can develop a drug that will imitate exactly what this gene is doing," he said. "The biology we're trying to uncover is that if we can imitate that,long life can be really terrific."

  Of the three longevity genes, two increase the production of so-called good cholesterol(胆固醇) ,which reduces the risk of heart disease. The third prevents diabetes. They were discov?ered by Dr Barzilai's team while studying the DNA of 500 Ashkenazi Jews with an average age of 100. The chances of living that long are one in 10,000 but the study group―which shared relatively few common ancestors―was 20 times more likely to hit the century. Dr Barzilai said, "Thirty percent of them were overweight and 30 percent smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for more than 40 years,however they could still live to 100."

  But Andrew Ketteringham, of the Alzheimer's Society, said. " Alzheimer's disease, a most common disease, is likely to be caused by a combination of genetic disposition(遗传倾向) ,lifes?tyle and life events. Many genes are probably involved.”

(   ) 1. According to the text, some people are able to live to one hundred years because of

   A. magical medicine   B. three special genes

   C.  having no disease   D. once being sportsmen

(   ) 2. Why does the discovery of the longevity genes mean a lot?

   A.Because it can bring great benefits to economic development.

   B.Because it can help people change their unhealthy genes.

   C.Because it helps produce a drug that can make people live longer.

   D.Because it will help scientists to build up a new branch of biology. 

(   ) 3. From Paragraph 4 we can infer that        .

   A.longevity genes cannot help reduce diseases

   B.the study group is all from the same family

   C.good habits have no effects on the health of people

   D.the longevity genes may protect the people from the harm of bad habits 

(   ) 4. What is Andrew Ketteringham's attitude toward the study?

   A. Positive.   B. Critical.   C. Neutral.   D. Satisfied.

 One Saturday morning after breakfast, I returned to my dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful butterflies, hundreds of which lived in the bushes around the orphanage. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and stuck straight pins through their head and wings,pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

  How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. When the house parent went inside to answer the phone, I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the butterfly that he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about, so I reached down and touched it on the wing,causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and around, trying to get away but it was still pinned by one wing with another straight pin. Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground, still trembling. I tried to let it fly away before the house parent came back. But I failed.

  When the house parent came back,he was angry with me though I didn't admit doing any?thing. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left. I sat there in the dirt for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. So I prayed for them and put them in an old torn-up shoebox and I buried them in the ground near the blackberry bushes.

  Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me,I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

(   ) 1. Why didn't the butterfly that the writer wanted to set free fly away?

   A.Because it was pinned to the paper.

   B.Because it refused to fly away.

   C.Because its wing broke off.

   D.Because the house parent killed it.

   A.The house parent doubted the writer.

   B.The writer admitted trying to set the butterfly free.

   C.All the butterflies flew away thanks to the writer's help.

   D.The writer put all the dead butterflies in the garbage can.

(   ) 3. The writer tried his best to fit all the butterfly pieces back together in order to

    A. save them   B. make the house parent angry

   C. be proud of himself   D. bury the butterflies whole

(   ) 4. What does the underlined phrase "shoo them away" in the last paragraph mean?

    A. Drive them away.   B. Play with them.

   C. Bury them.   D. Catch them one after another.
