So I applied and got it.M：Oh, what a good friend!Text 3M：Tracy, you look happy.Did you win a prize?W：More than that! Ive just received the new issue of the journal, and you know, my article is in it.M：Oh，great.It must be the article on classroom research, I guess.Congratulations!Text 4W：Its nearly 10 oclock.Lets listen to the weather forecast.M：Heres the weather forecast.Fog is spreading from the east，and itll affect all areas by midnight. Itll be heavy in some places.W：Should we postpone the plan of picnic?Text 5M: Uh, I wish someone would change this music.W: Im so happy you said that. I thought I was the only one who didnt like it.M: Dont worry.Youre not.I think its a little strange and a little loud, too.W：Very strange and very loud.第二节Text 6W: Im having a hard time getting the information for my report.M：Thats easy.You only have to search the Internet to get what you want.W：Really? But how?M: So click here，then up to the top.Then open that window.Yeah, that one.W：ErHumGot it.M：And thats it.Youre done.W: I see.That is pretty easy after all.Now I can get what I need in my room!Text 7M：Hi, Alma.Where have you been?W：Oh, hi, Colin.I was just at the library.I have to hand in my biology paper tomorrow.M：Tomorrow?

There is only one place where youll find all these information, and thats in the Guinness Book of World Records.This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book, Thomas Manning.Welcome to the program, Thomas!M：Thanks, Sue.Its a pleasure to be here.W：Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.M：Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s.Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness，was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it.Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasnt the fastest, he wondered what was.W：So I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for the information and he couldnt find it? M：Yes, thats exactly what happened.And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information.He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.W：So the idea for a book of records was born.And when did the first book come out?M：A few years later, in 1955.So, to answer your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7cm tall.And the oldest person is Jeanne.L.Calment，who was born in February, 1875.W：There are also some rather strange records, arent there, Thomas?M：Yes, thats right.Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is takenText 10Annie Oakley was a woman who became famous for her ability to shoot a gun and hit very small objects.There are hundreds of stories about her.Many of the stories involve her adventures in the American Wild West.Others tell about her travels with native Americans.However, most of the stories are not true.She did not grow up in the Wild West, nor did she fight in any battles.Annie Oakley was a performer in a traveling Wild West show.She used her skills at shooting a gun to become one of the most famous sharpshooters in American history.Annie Oakley was born in 1860 in Ohio.Her family was very poor.At the age of 8, she decided to help them earn money.She taught herself how to shoot her grandfathers gun and began hunting animals for food and then sold the animals to the people in her town.When she was 15, she had made enough money to pay for her familys farm.Soon her ability to shoot a gun became well known in her town.She got the name Little Sure Shot because of her shooting ability and because she was only 1.5 meters tall.However, she left the people who loved her on November 3, 1926.第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AWhere do you find out about the worlds longest walk? The worlds tallest man? The worlds oldest woman? You know the answer.It is the Guinness Book of World Records.How would people find unusual facts without this book?The Guinness Book did not exist until 1951.Here is what happened.The managing director of Guinness Brewery was a curious man.He wanted answers to some questions about records.For example, he wanted to know what was the fastest flying game bird in Europe.But he was frustrated.There was no book to answer questions like this.The director, Sir Hugh Beaver, contacted the McWhirter twins.They were brothers who owned a research agency.He asked them to put together a new reference book.It would include all kinds of unusual records.The brothers quickly accepted.The first edition of their book was published in 1955.Soon the Guinness Book of World Records was a best seller.It has sold more copies than any book except the Bible.A new edition is published every year.Where do all the books records come from？They are a combination of things like natural wonders, sports records, and stunts (How many people would push an egg with their noses if they werent trying to get to the book？)But the editors try to keep things honest.All records must be verified_by an investigator.Only then are they printed.The Guinness Book is a big business.It is published in dozens of languages.There are TV shows and museums.It is proof of how interested people are in strange pieces of information.语篇导读本文为说明文，介绍了吉尼斯世界纪录大全的相关情况，包括它的发起人、纪录来源和入选标准等。21What is the passage mainly about?AThe McWhirter twins.BA history of the Guinness Book.CUnusual records in the Guinness Book.DThe director Sir Hugh Beaver.解析 B主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，本文介绍的是吉尼斯世界纪录大全的历史，故选B项。22What can we know about the McWhirter twins from the passage?AThey recognized that Sir Hugh Beavers idea for a book was a good one.BThey owned so good a research agency that they liked to help others.CThey wanted to publish the book so that they set up a search agency.DThey wanted to know the answers to some questions about records.解析 A推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推出，McWhirter兄弟很欣赏Sir Hugh Beaver的想法，认为他出本书的观点很好，故选A项。23What does the underlined word “verified” in Paragraph 4 mean?AQuestioned.
