After inventing dynamites(炸药), Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $ 30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decision. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes. (from www.99jianzhu.com)

A. 1895. B. 1901. C. 1962. D. 1968.

A. honor the inventor of dynamite B. recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity
C. resolve political differences D. spend money

2. B 细节题。根据短文第一段第二句“?for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind”可得(from www.99jianzhu.com)。

4. D 事实判断题。根据短文第四段“Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare”一句判断可得。

Explaining China’s peaceful growth to the American politicians and public will top President Hu Jintao’s agenda when he visits the United States from September 5 to 8.
“ This will be conductive to the development of Sino—US relations and China’s relationships with the rest of the world.” He Yafei, director of the Department of North American Affairs, said at a news briefing yesterday.
It will be Hu’s first State visit to the US after he became president in 2003. He will meet US President George W.Bush and legislators in Washington DC and business people in Seattle, and deliver a speech at Yale University in New Haven. Also on the list of areas of concern for Hu and Bush may be trade, Taiwan, energy and nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
China’s favorable balance of trade with the US derives from different economic structures in the two countries. The two economies supplement and benefit each other instead of competing, and the US should loosen its grip over its exports, especially high-tech products, to China, he said.
After his US trip, President Hu will travel to Canada and Mexico from September 8 to 13, and back to New York on September 14 to attend the World Summit and other activities in celebration of the 60 anniversary of the United Nations. Hu will wrap up his tour on September 16 at the UN in a show China’s support for the world body and multilateralism.

【2015高考复习】阅读理解
The British aren't having as many children as they used to.One reason is that people are having children much older than before，meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them.After years at university，they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want.They might then get married，but it's incredibly expensive to buy a house in the UK.
The above explains why young British people now don't move out of their parents' home until they are around 30 years old on average.It is not until they are 30 that they can afford their own home.Increasingly，it is not until that age that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home.It's only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child.
So a British person manages to get a job，get a home and get married.Why isn't he or she then having at least two children on average？The main reason is that it is quite expensive to bring up a child in the UK.Why is it expensive？Well，these days，both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses.Because both parents are at work，that means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day.Paying for this childcare is nearly always expensive.
The recent financial crisis is making things even harder for families，since
unemployment is rising and even fewer people can afford to have children.With so much pressure on families，is it any surprise that the divorce rate is so high?
So what is Britain doing to try and save the British family？The government is trying to make it cheaper to have children.For example，there have been increases in money families can claim from the state each month.Also，there are increasing government subsidies for nursery schools，so that parents do not need to pay so much for childcare. The government is also trying to reduce the number of hours British parents have to work to earn enough money to pay their bills.If parents didn't have to work so many - 7 -
hours，they'd have more time to spend with their children and wouldn't need to spend so much on childcare.On average，a Briton works 49 hours a week，which is the most in Europe.The state is now considering introducing laws to encourage companies to improve their employees' work-life balance.Let's hope they're not too late to save the British family.Otherwise，the British will always be too tired，and won't have enough time and money，to have children.

The seventh game of any play-off is always special, win or lose, it always has an edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat intensity unlike any other. One play, one shot, one save may make all the difference.
But there are other things that make our games and sports so special.
For example, where we play our sports is often one of the best things about the games.Thinks of it:What is as pergect as a fresh sheet of ice after the Zamboni machine (赞博尼磨冰机) has made its final pass and left the surface as smooth as glass? Or a swimming pool on a summer morning, clear and calm, before the ferst swimmer has broken the water?
To me a freshly mowed and lined soccer field is as beautiful as any painting. SO is a golf course in the early morning, or in the evening when the sun is setting. The stuff we paly with is wonderfull, too. Is there anything that feels as good in your hand as a brand-new baseball? Or a nice leather football? Grab hold of either, and you just habe to play a game of catch.
The clothes are good too. Sports uniforms are much more colorful and comfortable than regular clothes . Maybe that’s why so many kids stay in their soorts uniforms long after their games are over.
No shoes feel better on my feet than my golf shoes. Maybe that’s because I know I am going to have fun whenever I put then on.
We talk so much about winning in sports. But if you are the kind of kid who is happy only when their team wins , then sports will let you down. After all, no team or player wins all the time.
But if you can learn to enjoy the parts of sports that have nothing to do with winning or losing---the feel of a favorite bat or stick in your hand, or how your heartbeats when you put on your uniform and run onto the field ---then sports will always be fun. Whether you win or lose.
1.Which of the following words is close in meaning to the phrases
“edge-of-your-seat,heart-in-your-throat”in para 1?
A. Uncertain B. Scared C. Nervous D. Enthusiastic.
答案解析：答案为C。本题为词义推断题。结合第一段内容，不论输赢的比赛，进球，救球都会有着不一样的感觉，这样的感觉必然是令人紧张的，故答案为C。A选项意为 “不确定的”，B选项意为 “害怕的”，D选项意为“热情的”，均不符合题意。
2. According to the writer, people are advised .
A. not to play a game of catch B. to wear sports uniform long
C. not to talk about winning in spors D. to have fun in spors
答案解析：答案为D。本题为文章的主旨大意题。 由文章最后一段 “But if you can learn to enjoy the parts of sports that have nothing to do with winning or losing... then sports will always be fun. Whether you win or lose.” 可知，作者建议人们要学会在运动中不论输赢都要享受运动，从运动中获得快乐。故答案为D。
3. Sports uniforms, as well as spors shoes, are mentioned in the text
A. as an example of the special feeling of sports
B. as comforbable wearingfor sports
C. as particular desire of children
D. as most favorite of sportsmen
答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。由倒数第三、四段可知, 运动时穿的运动衫和运动鞋都会让我们的感觉良好，能让我们在运动中获得快乐，文章用两件实物是为了将其作为运动时特别感觉的例子。故答案为A。
4. Which would be the best title for the passage?
