Milan’s current stars――including Kaka,Ronaldinho,Shevchenko and Inzaghi――are excited by Beckham’s joining their ranks.And the move should answer Beckham’s critics,who said that his focus had switched from playing football to making money,that his England career is still his number one consideration.
But it may not be enough.England has a series of promising young players who can play in Beckham’s position.David Bentley,Aaron Lennon and Shaun Wright-Phillips are all competing for a place in the team.
Beckham is well aware that 2010 is his last chance to play at the biggest sporting event on the planet.By moving to AC Milan,even just on loan,he is giving himself every chance of staying in the England team.It seems that he’s not ready to give up lifting the famous trophy yet.

Chen Yunlin,president of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits,visited Taiwan and signed an agreement to open direct shipping,mail and air routes services.
A survey indicated that 75%of the people surveyed were in favor of Chen’s visit Wong Yingru,a university student in Taipei,calls it a breakthrough in cross-Straits relations.She hopes mutual(相互的)recognition of education degrees will be reached soon between the two sides so that young Taiwanese like her will benefit.Last year Wong visited two universities in Fujian and decided to go on with her further study on the mainland.She said,“Compared with Taiwan,the mainland is much large,which often means more opportunities and resources.”
Mainland universities began to accept Taiwanese in 1986.In 2006,the mainla began to recognize the educational degrees issued by Taiwan universities.But mainland degrees still aren’t recognized in Taiwan.This has kept Taiwan students from coming to the mainland.In 2007,a total of 6,568 Taiwan students studied in mainland universities.The number was much lower than the 54,000 students from South Korea and the 18,640 from Japan.Lee Sichen,president of the National Taiwan University,said mutual recognition of degrees will benefit Taiwan universities.“The problem facing many Taiwan umversities is the lack of students caused by the falling birth rate for years in Taiwan.”he said.
Bai Mingran,a student in Beijing said,“In my university,there are exchang programs with American and European universities,but as far as I know,there is none with a Taiwan university.This is contrary to the fact that we share the same origin and should be closer to each other.Taiwan also has good universities.I hope one day 1 can go there.”

Every year mobile phones develop.Imagining what they will look like and be able to do in 2020 is really a challenge.To help,experts have outlined three major mobile trends that they believe will have become reality by then.
Our phones will be so smart in 12 years’ time that they’ll know everything about our situation and warn us when something needs our attention.This is the top prediction of both Nokia and Google.They predict that our cars and home appliances(家用电器)will be able to communicate with our mobile.For example,fridges will tell your mobile to tell you to pick up milk on the way
back from work.While driving,your mobile will suggest that you take a different route because there’s a road accident up ahead.
The second trend is in gesture-based controls.People who know the iPhone’s touch-sensitive screen are already familiar with the technology.It translates hand movements into actions on-screen.But gestural communications will make the phone more convenient to use and may completely replace touchpads.According to industry insiders,the most immediate step forward in gestural technology will be in voice recognition.It’s believed voice recognition technology will speed up communications.It is quicker to speak than type.Eventually,phone screens will disappear.
The third major development will change our understanding of a mobile phone.From a single phone,the mobile will be developed into multi-part devices.It is opposite to the current trend in which mobile phones are combining the functions of cameras,music players and game consoles(游戏机).The prediction is based on the idea that the world will become more wireless and all these――cameras,music players and game consoles,will be wirelessly connected.Mobile phones won’t need to contain these devices because users will be able to control them wirelessly through their phones.
68.The first paragraph serves as .
A.a leading in B.a conclusion C.a summary D.a supporting fact
69.Which of the following is most likely to be the appearance of a mobile phone in 2020?
70.From the text,we can learn that the future mobile phones will .
A.drive cars for us
B.be controlled by the users’ voices
C.be controlled by home appliances
D.be very big together with separated multiple parts
71.The text mainly tells us .
A.three major trends of mobile phones
B.what mobile phones will look like in 2020
C.the future mobile phones are gesture-based
D.some new functions of the present mobile phones

“It seems that you had a rough day,Tyler.Is there anything I can do to help?”
“That’s just the thing,Mom.We can’t help.Today,our science teacher talked about Earth Day and the environment.Earth Day is supposed to be a day when every person promises to do something to help take care of our world.Mrs Green told us our world is getting dirtier and that many animals and plants are dying.She wants us to think of something we can do to help and I thought all the way home and there is not anything that I can do to make a difference.”
“Let me tell you a story that might help you think about your problem in a different way.”She began,“One morning a man was walking down a beach that was covered with dying starfish.Thinking what a shame it was that all of those starfish would die on the beach,he came across a boy who was throwing starfish back into the ocean as fast as he could.‘Son,’the man said,‘you’d better quit.There are thousands of them.They are washed up all over the beach.There is no way you can make any sort of a difference.’The boy spoke to the man without even a pause,‘I can make a difference to this one,and this one,and this one.’The man thought a while,and he knew the boy was right.He began to help return the animals to their home.”
Tyler stared at his mother,“But he did make a difference,didn’t he?To every starfish that he threw back?So,what it means is that even though I can’t change everything,I can make a big difference by doing the little things that matter?”His mother nodded,smiling,“That is exactly what I am saying.”
On Earth Day,there was a meeting and everyone in the community was invited.Many of them were surprised to see a large brown tree without leaves.Soon performances began.A boy walked across a stage filled with starfish.The play went on as Tyler and his class showing the story and ended with the audience’s applause.“At first,we thought we couldn’t do anything.The problems seemed too big for us.But then we realized that together,even the little things we do could add up to mean a lot to our world.”The kids began passing out the green leaves and pens to the audience.“We want every person to think of one thing you can do to make a difference to our world.Even if it seems like something small,it will matter.”The audience began writing.“I will walk to work.”“I will use both sides of my paper to save trees.”…
Soon the tree was green and covered with the Earth Day promises.Seeing the people laughing and talking as they left,Tyler smiled,thinking of the difference they would make.
72.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.Mom’s Story B.Earth Day Promises
C.Let’s Make a Difference D.Do Something on Earth Day

I. A possible version:
My classmates take a great interest in your topic “Whether arts and science should be learnt separatedly in high schools?” We’ve held a debate on it and half of us agree while the other half disagree. Those who are for the idea believe that too much subjects and homework is nothing but a heavy burden to them. Besides, it’s not good for the students to develop their own interests or
special skills. As is known to all, some knowledge will be out of date, so it is a waste of time to learn so much.
Those who hold the opposite opinion think that the more subjects they learn the broader their horizon will be. On the other hand, there will be no limitation when choosing a major to enter a university.
