Five years ago, Steven Gerrard fulfilled a boyhood dream when he was made captain of Liverpool, the football club he had supported all his life. As one of the best teams in the English Premier League, the captain's armband weighed heavy on a player who had only turned 23.

But through a combination of individual brilliance on the pitch (球场) and a growing awareness of what being a skipper (队长) is all about, Gerrard has gone on to make the captain's role his own.

He performed a rescue act for Liverpool by twice scoring as they came from 2－0 down to draw 2－2 against Hull City on December 13.His efforts steered (带领) the team to the top of the Premier League. “It's easy for me to say we're a great team and the squad's great，” said Gerrard. “The hardest thing is to actually go out there and prove it on the pitch. I call the Premier League the bread and butter and I'm desperate for the title.”

Liverpool enjoyed some real success during the five years when Gerrard has been captain of the club—they've been to two Champions League finals and an FA Cup final, winning two out of three. But Gerrard believes he has learned more from being a captain “when things haven't gone too well”．

“You learn more from bad experiences really. Bad defeats, going out of competitions or failing short in the league, as captain, I feel more responsible, particularly when we get beaten，” he said. “I remember all those experiences and learn from all of that.”

Gerrard grew up watching Liverpool. He joined the club's youth academy as a school boy. He then had tryouts with various clubs at 14, including Manchester United, which he claimed in his autobiography (自传) was “to pressure Liverpool into giving me a contract.” He signed with the club in 1997.

Gerrard has dedicated his entire career to Liverpool and he is confident that the club will start another legend soon. “You just expect that dynasty to come，” he said.

1．The passage is mainly about ________.

A．Gerrard's love of Liverpool

B．what kind of person Gerrard is

C．Gerrard's latest performance on the pitch

D．Gerrard as captain of the Liverpool football club

2．From the text, we can see that ________.

A．Gerrard has outshone other captains of Liverpool

B．Gerrard did quite a good job in leading his team

C．Gerrrad intended to make the captain's role his own

D．Gerrrad has been confident of being a captain since chosen

3．Gerrard admitted that he learned more from ________.

A．try outs with various clubs

B．unsuccessful experiences

C．steering the team to the top

D．striving for the league title

4．From the last two paragraphs, we know that ________.

A．Gerrard compared Liverpool with other football clubs and finally decided on it

B．Gerrard was made captain soon after he signed with Liverpool

C．Gerrard believed the next season would be his dynasty

D．it was Liverpool that Gerrard had his eye on all along

England’s shameful defeat in the race to host the 2018 World Cup caused a bitter new “Cold War” with Russia last night.

The & 15 million bid — accompanied by David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham — didn’t even get past the first round.

It secured just two of the 22 votes by committee members of football’s world governing body Fifa in a secret ballot (投票) — one of which was cast by England’s own FA Chairman Geoff Thompson.

Among strong suspicions of shady backroom deals, the tournament went to Russia.

Last night Downing Street did little to hide its anger and said Mr. Cameron had no plans to congratulate Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin personally “at the present time”.

Shortly after Fifa president Sepp Blatter declared Russia the winner for 2018, he announced that Qatar, a tiny desert country which has never even qualified to play in the World Cup, would host the 2022 tournament, beating bids from Australia, the United States and a joint bid from Japan and South Korea.

Fifa’s controversial decisions strengthened suspicions that the voting process was corrupt and that the sport’s world governing body had submitted to the energy-rich countries’ billions, meaning that England’s bid never stood a chance.

A “bitterly disappointed” and visibly furious Mr. Cameron said England had the best technical bid and what he believed was the strongest commercial bid, adding: “It turns out that’s not enough.”

Asked what more England could have done to secure the tournament, the Prime Minister replied: “I think that’s for others to say.”

When Mr. Cameron met Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he had challenged him to a “good clean fight” but last night the Prime Minister’s official spokesman refused to say the voting process was either good or clean.

Number 10 aides were furious with the outcome after Mr. Cameron had made two flying visits to Zurich where the vote was held and been up into the small hours yesterday like crazy lobbying for critical votes.

So despite three days of intense lobbying in Zurich by the Three Lions, the England bid team feared they had been damaged by an accusation of corruption against Fifa members by BBC’s Panorama and The Sunday Times.

76.According to the passage, which of the following countries bid for the 2018 World Cup?

A、England B、Qatar C、The United States D、Australia

77.The underlined word “Furious” is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A、angry B、worried C、guilty D、confused

78.According to the passage, _______ voted for England during the secret ballot.

A、David Cameron B、Geoff Thompson

C、David Beckham D、Sepp Blatter

79.By saying “It turns out that’s not enough.” Mr. Cameron really means ________.

A、England still has a long way to go to host the bid of the 2018 World Cup

B、England hasn’t been fully prepared for the bid of the 2018 World Cup

C、Russia has done far better than England to bid of the 2018 World Cup

D、there were dirty deals behind the decision

80.As can be concluded from the passage, one of the reasons for England’s failure might be _______.

A、its lack of experience

B、its bad economic

C、its lack of energy

D、an accusation by BBC’s Panorama and The Sunday Times

Bikaner 13/1/2007

Dear Youming,

Have arrived in Bikaner leaving Delhi behind us. Unfortunately there just wasn’t enough time to see everything in only four days. Outside Bikaner’s city walls are miles of desert wilderness. Tomorrow I look forward to exploring the wall itself. The sandstone architecture is said to be incredible. We are also going to take a camel ride through some of the desert. Can you picture me on a camel? I’ll make sure that I have lots of photographs taken. After three days here the next stop is Jaipur.

Love,

Lisa

Delhi 8/1/2007

Dear Mum and Dad,

We have just arrived in India and are in the bustling and exciting city of Delhi. This morning we visited the Red Fort. There we found magnificent palaces, mosques and splendid buildings. I could have spent hours there. This afternoon, amongst other things, we visited the India Gate---a memorial for Indian soldiers lost at war earlier this century. The gates were the largest I have ever seen.

Wish you were here,

Lisa

Dear Jinao,

So far so good. Once we arrived in Agra, we went straight to the Taj Mahal. I have never seen anything so wonderful. They said that it would look something like Humuyan’s Tomb（Delhi）and it does! There really is nothing more amazing than the brilliant white of the Taj shimmering in the daylight. Apparently the pollution poses a real threat to it. We really covered a great deal in three days here.

It’s been an amazing experience and I’m sorry that we’ll be flying home this evening.

Bye for now.

Jaipur 17/1/2007

Dear Libing,

I am writing from the Johari bazaar in Jaipur. This is a wonderful jewellery market. I’ve found all sorts of intriguing treasures. This morning we visited the Hawa Mahal,”The palace of the Winds”. It is the most incredible structure. The façade of the palace is all windows and filigree screens. Yesterday we visited the City Palace and the Jantar Mantar. After two days here, the next stop is Agra where I look forward to visiting the fort and the Taj.

See you soon,

Lisa
