The age of smokers is also getting lower, earlier reports said."There are more young smokers than before. You can see young people wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag light a cigarette on the street. Some of them are even female students," said Jing Xingming, a professor of children's developmental behavior at the center."Children like to imitate adults, especially their parents. If parents often smoke at home, it is very likely children will develop a smoking habit, which can cause a vicious circle," Jin said.Reports from the Ministry of Health said China has about 350 million smokers, of whom 15 million are underage smokers. Also, around 40 million of the country's 130 million children aged between 13 and 18 had tried smoking, and 15 million had become addicted to tobacco.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A. About half of the youngsters are suffering from secondhand smoke.B. Experts are calling for more protection for youngsters from smoking.C. More and more youngsters are picking up the habit of smoking.D. Smoking does great harm to the health of the youngsters.57. What kind of the youngsters most possibly develop a habit of smoking?A. Children of non-smoking mothers.B. Children of non-smoking fathers.C. Children of heavy smokers.D. Children from some smoking centers.58. Which of the following disease may not be connected with secondhand smoking?A. Cancer.B. Behavioral problems.C. Sore throats.D. Coughs.59. The underlined word “vicious” in the last paragraph but one most probably means ___________.A. completeB. simpleC. greatD. bad60. What can be inferred from the passage?A. About 80% of the children in the Shanghai Children's Medical Center smoke heavily.B. About 45 percent of children suffer passive smoking in the Shanghai Children's Medical Center.C. About 540 million people are heavy smokers in China.D. Children aged between 13 to 18 are more likely addicted to smoking.BResearchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查)Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.61. What can be the best title of the text?A. Happiness Varies with AgesB. Experience More, Worry LessC. The Older, the WiserD. Being Young, Being Happy62. We can learn from the research that _________.A. only when people get older will they feel happierB. stress levels among the youngest are the highestC. older people tend to be gratefulD. older people usually have no worries63. According to the research, when people get older, _________.A. they miss the old daysB. they are physically weakC. they have better self-controlD. they are more emotional64. What would the author probably talk about next?A. What influences happiness.B. How to live better.C. How to keep happier.D. Why women are less happier.65. The author is intended to _________.A. advise how to reduce stressB. introduce a scientific findingC. describe how to do researchD. talk about human emotionsCIt’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year——keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount, but can still afford the gifts that your loved ones will enjoy. Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.Hit the sales.No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday, and it’s surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimes——it can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the day——and some even offer online Black Friday specials, so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.Pay close attention to advertisements.Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.Shop online.Some of us don’t like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift, and some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all——thankfully for us, we can do online shopping.The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet. Customers can find exactly what they are looking for, at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping consumers are sometimes limited to what’s left in stock if they wait too long to get to a particular store.66. The first paragraph implies that ______.A. nowadays not many people can afford expensive giftsB. recently many people don’t want to spend money on giftsC. Christmas is a time to make our loved ones enjoy their giftsD. Christmas is a time to make us feel free to buy our loved ones gifts67.

Date speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G, you can forget about next messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.Face-to-face video callsDon’t worry about getting lost, 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-video communication, you can have face-to –face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone. Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “ We expect that the 3GSECTION B (10’)Directions: Read the following passage.

Write your answers on your answer sheet.Scientists have determined it's not advisable to hurry marriage. But what’s the best age to wed?When Avril Lavigne announced she was splitting from her husband, comments from her friends suggested that she was only 21 when she tied the knot and later she said that she realized she'd been too young to make such a life-altering decision. Could fellow young celebrity divorcées(离婚者) Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, and Britney Spears have also hit the same age-related issue?The Magic NumberThere are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boil down to two biggies: education and money.It turns out that the more years of higher education a woman has under her belt on her wedding day, the lower the chances that she'll get divorced ... and by 25, you're more likely to have earned a degree or two. Educated women tend to be more confident about who they are and less willing to settle for a man who doesn't meet their standards.Odds(可能性) are that by 25 you're also supporting yourself, so there's less incentive（刺激; 鼓励）for you to rush into marriage because you're seeking financial security from him. But the marriage-related benefits of working and having money of your own go beyond feeling secure. Learning to budget your cash carefully when you're single will help you avoid financial problems—one of the main causes of couple fights—for the rest of your life.Knowing the Real YouAt 25, you've had time for some crucial life experiences, including a relationship or two that may have improved your Mr. Right radar. You've probably dated enough to have a better idea of what you don't want in a man, which makes it easier to know what you can live with and can't live without.Perhaps the most important aspect of waiting is that you'll know what your goals and values really are. While you don't want to marry someone just like you, marriage is a lot easier if you two share a similar outlook on life.Twenty-four and already married to the man of your dreams? Don't worry: Many young marriages survive. But given the choice, you might consider putting off the big day until your mid-20s or later.81. What main factors influence the mid-20s dividing line?

Fill in each blank with a word that best fits the context.As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 36 down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a 37 part of everyday life and there is no way to 38 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 39 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can bear 40 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 41 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 42 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44 between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47 links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.SECTION CDirections:Complete the following passage by using ONE word that best fits thecontext.Dear Xiaohua:I’m very glad to receive your letter. From your letter, I know you have shown 48 great interest in inventing new things. That’s great. As for how to be an inventor, there is no quick answer to 49 .Coming from different cultures and having different backgrounds, inventors do not seem to have much 50 common. But creative thinking, 51 is greatly valued, is perhaps the basic skill an inventor should have. In order to explore new possibilities, you will have to learn to break 52 from old thought patterns. When you get stuck, try to look at the problem in 53 many ways as possible. Each new 54 may improve your understanding.More importantly, always keep it in your mind 55 success is no accident. It is the resultof a long process of trial and error. Above all, the main task for you is to study hard and try to learn more knowledge. This, of course, will lay a solid foundation.Hope your future invention will make a difference.Good luck.Yours,Wang LiPART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or un-finished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked with A、B、C and D, Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AStatistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil（零）, many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne（升空的）.●Fly on non-stop routesMost accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.●Choose larger aircraft.Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply（遵守）with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.●Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefingThe information may seem repetitious（重复的）, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.●Store things safelyNever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence（气流）.●Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seatedCabin crew always tell you this, but it’s important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.●Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinksFlight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.56. What is the overall reason for these air safety tips?A. What to do in the event of a crash.B. How to avoid turbulence.C. How to improve safety while you are flying.D. How to avoid injury.57. The underlined word “those” in the second tip refers to ____A. smaller planesB. passengersC. larger aircraftD. safety records58. The underlined phrase “The general rule” in the fifth tip refers to ____.A. anything the flight staff tell you to doB. general safety adviceC. walking around the planeD. pouring hot drinks59. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.60. The best title of the passage should be____.A. The Safest Way to TravelB. Air Safety TipsC. Non-stop RoutesD. How to Fly a PlaneBThis is a dangerous world we live in. The number of murders goes up every year, people are dying of cancer, more people contract HIV, more teens are using drugs, ect. You know this because you’ve heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper. But do you really have an accurate idea what they mean? The numbers are going up, but how do they compare to the growth in population? Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques, or are the diseases more common? The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.This growing trend of reporting only part of the information is becoming dangerous. For example, several years ago a high school student reported the dangers of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide. This chemical, found in most cancerous tumors, is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol, and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once. After reading his report, more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical! Every one of the above statement is true, yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth. The students made a mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics, rather than the chemical’s full background.The point of this article is that one should be aware of what is and is not being said. When one finds a new fact or number, one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths. Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view, and will leave our information that is different from his view. For example, look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe. Only 32 people die each year when skiing, while 897 die from lightening strikes, but which is really moredangerous? If you think more about it, you will realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people in danger of a lightning strike. When you think about it again, skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at the statistics. If we teenagers are to be left in this world, we had better be able to think critically, and form our own views, rather than be easily persuaded by another’s. To be warned is just to be prepared.61.What’s the author’s attitude towards the growing trend of reporting only part of theinformation?A.DisapprovingB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Dangerous62.In the first paragraph, what does the writer suggest?A.We are now living in a dangerous world.B.We get a lot of false statistics from the media.C.There are around us more and more murders diseases, ect.D.Statistics alone without full background don’t give us an accurate picture of things.63.What’s the purpose of the writer’s using the two examples in the second paragraph?A.To argue that high school students are easily persuaded.B.To prove what is necessary to us might be dangerous.C.To show the danger of reporting only part of the information.D.To warn us of the harmful substance around us.64.Relative information is often left out because ___________________.A.it is not importantB.the author is trying to show what he or she says is trueC.readers will consider other important informationD.readers are able to form an opinion with half-truths65.What can we learn from the passage?A.Some measures must be taken to protect our dangerous world.B.The growing trend of reporting only half-truths is getting out of control.C.Teenagers ought to improve their ability of telling right from wrong.D.We should learn to think critically and look at problems from all sides.CKs5uYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击）through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars and run out of them even when they catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxescovered with a mattress（床垫）. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Ks5u Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff（悬崖）a thousand feet high. His parachute（降落伞）failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too. Ks5u66. Stuntmen are those who ______. Ks5uA. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous lives Ks5uC. often perform seemingly dangerous actions Ks5uD. often fight each other for their lives Ks5u67. Stuntmen earn their living by ______. Ks5uA. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skills Ks5uC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains Ks5u68. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______. Ks5uA. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattress Ks5uC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right Ks5u69. Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance? KsA. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness. Ks570. Wh at can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman? KsA. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman. Ks5uB. The percentage of serious accidents is high. Ks5uC. Parachutes must be of good quality. Ks5uD. The cliff is too high. Ks5uPART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirections:Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each blank.As the US wakes up to China’s rising status (地位) as an economic and strategic competitor, US parents are urging their children to learn Chinese, reports Julian Borger.The US is being swept by a rush to learn Mandarin (普通话) -- from wealthy New York mothers hiring Chinese nannies (保姆) for their small children to a defence department education project in Oregon.The forces driving Mandarin’s momentum (势头) are parental ambition for children facing a future in which China is almost certain to be a major player, and the government is worried about that America may get left behind in that new world.The bottleneck is the supply of teachers. Mandarin instructors are difficult to import and difficult to train. There are visa problems in bringing over teachers from China but the biggest barrier is cultural. Teaching in Asia is generally done by rote and the change to western, interactive styles of instruction can be a large leap （跳越）.On the other hand, it requires enormous firmness for westerners to learn a language like Chinese, with its thousands of written characters. According to the Asia Society in New York, all of America’s teacher -training institutions turn out only a couple of dozen homegrown Mandarin teachers.One way to ease the shortage is to find native Mandarin speakers and use fast-track methods to train them. However, the majority of Chinese-Americans grew up speaking Cantonese, the dialect （方言）spoken in Hong Kong, where their parents came from. Many are themselves signing on as Mandarin students at the private language schools springing up on the west coast.Title :71 in the USASECTION Bparental ambition for children 72 73 t he US government’s worrying about 74 the shortage of 75 difficulty in 76 Mandarin instructors 77 in bringing over teachers from China cultural barrier —different teaching styles between Asia and America the westerners’ 78 of learning Chinese Difficulties/ bottlenecks 79to find 80 and train them with fast-track methodsDirections:Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheetFrom bankers to factory staff, employees in the west face the bleak prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession starts to bite. For colleagues in the East the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian firms try harder to keep jobs in difficult times, which will stop unemployment and may help keep Asian economies afloat at a time of slowing exports.The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for firms to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, leaving some experts predicting Western shift to Eastern flexibility.“In the Confucian attitude, the right thing to do is to share the burden. There is the sense of collective responsibility whereas in the west, it’s more about the individual survival,”said Michael Benotlel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University.Steven Pang, Asian Regional director for Aquent, a headhunting firm, said in many East Asian companies there was an responsibility “ to take care of the members of the family and go through the pain together” even if that meant causing losses.Us firms from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands. But at the Asian units of Western multinationals, jobs cuts will probably be less severe.Japan’s jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong’s was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in Eastand West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad.81.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.APeople say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly〔不顾一切地〕up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral. I didn’t expe ct the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.The teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would truly attract her, what would Nana say? ‘oh, what beautiful barking that dog has!’ That was Nana. 〞“She was a strong woman who o ften lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for my grandpa’s career,〞 he said, with a voice now trembling, “That was Nana’s way.〞Through a low sob, he continued, “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to show off.〞Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.〞There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happen ing to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ceremony . He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of lifeand death.All over again we felt those powerful losses crossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.56. In the first paragraph, the writer gave some examples to_____.A. support his idea that young people are no good.B. introduce his point of view about young people.C. tell people every coin has its two sides.D. young people often make mistakes.57.

The passage tells the readers____.A. facing certain bitter facts helps young people to grow.B. young people have to control themselvesC. the adults should learn from the young.D. the adults should teach the young how to be braveBSurprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospitalteaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s ho spitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady〞or just “the helper〞. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.61. Which of the following statements is true?A. Every child in hospital receives some teaching.B. Not enough is known about hospital teaching.C. Hospital teaching is of poor quality.D. The special children's hospitals are worst off.62. It can be inferred from the latest survey that________.A. hospital teaching across the country is similarB. each hospital has at least one part-time teacherC. all hospitals surveyed offer education to childrenD. only one-fourth of the hospitals have a full-time teacher63. The hospital teachers are found________.A. not welcomed by the children and their parentsB. unnecessaryC. not quite helpfulD. capable64. In order to catch up with their school work, children in hospital usually turn to________.A. hospital teachersB. schoolmatesC. parentsD. school teachers65. We can conclude from the passage that the author is________.A. unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitalsB. in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitalsC. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teachingD. satisfied with the results of the latest surveyCEurope’s first major university department to promote rese arch into government and public policy will open in Oxford under new plans.In a hugely significant move, Oxford University will create a new school of government in following a £75 million donation by Leonard Blavatnik, the American industrialist and philanthropist(慈善家). The school is intended to train outstanding graduates from across the world in the skills and responsibilities of government. The move is being backed by world leaders including Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Kofi Annan.Andrew Hamilton, Oxford’s vice-chancellor, said: “The school represents a huge milestone in Oxford’s history. It will give tomorrow’s leaders the best of Oxford’s traditional strengths alongside new and practical ways of understanding and meeting the challenges of good governance.〞“The university has educated 26 British Prime Ministers and over 30 other world leaders, yet until now the major international schools of government have all been outside Europe, principally in the United States.〞Under plans, the Blavatnik School of Government will provide a series of practical courses leading to a Master’s degree. It will cover a range of subjects including the humanities, social sciences, law, science, technology, health, finance, energy and security policy.Oxford said Mr Bl avatnik’s donation was one of the most generous in the university’s 900 year history. The university itself will be investing an additional £26m in the school, as well as land in the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, where the school will be located.Lord Pat ten, Oxford’s chancellor, said: “This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for Oxford. Through the Blavatnik donation, Oxford will now become the world’s leading centre for the training of future leaders in government and public policy – and in ways that take proper account of the very different traditions, institutions and cultures that those leaders will serve. It is an important moment for the future of good government throughout the world.〞66. What is the text mainly about?A. Political leaders from Oxford.B. Traditions and strengths of Oxford.C. Oxford ways to train future leaders.D. Oxford school of government under plans.67. The move is meant to ___________.A. provide varieties of coursesB. promote popularity of OxfordC. find talented graduates in EuropeD. educate tomorrow’s political leaders68. What can students learn in the new school?A. Politics and economics.B. Philosophy and humanities.C. Traditional and practical courses.D. Modern science and technology.69. Which of the following is true of the school?A. It is named after Leonard Blavatnik.B. It will not provide traditional courses.C. It is wholly financed by Leonard Blavatnik.D. It is the first international school of government.70. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Public policy is the present focus.B. More world leaders will rise from Oxford.C. World leaders need to respect each other.D. Lord Patten has different opinions of the plan.Part 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A professor of environmental health and his students began studying the idea of r ooftop gardening for cities. “I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way,〞 said Despommier.Why would we want to build skyscrapers filled with vegetables when we’ve been farming on the ground for 10,000 years? Because as the world’s po pulation grows — from 6.8 billion now to as much as 9 billion by 2050 — we could run out of productive soil and water. Most of the population growth will occur in cities that can’t easily feed themselves. And the fact that modern agriculture and everything associated with it —chemical fertilizers and transportation full of carbon —is a significant contributor to climate change, and suddenly vertical farming doesn’tseem so magic one in the sky.“Vertical farming could allow food to be grown locally and su stainably,〞 says Glen Kertz, CEO of Valcent. The result saves space — vital in urban areas--- and allows farmers to irrigate and fertilize with far less waste.At Valcent’s El Paso lab, crops grow in rows on conveyor belts. Moving them gives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients needed, letting them grow 15 times as much vegetable as on a normal farm with 5% of the water that traditional agriculture does.Dedspommier plans to build a 30-story, city-block-size vertical farm that would have transparent walls to maximize sunlight and would produce enough food for 50,000 people. But it would cost hundreds of millions to build a full-scale skyscraper farm. That’s the main drawback: construction and energy costs would probably make vertically raised food more costly than traditional crops.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage.The importance of water is well explained through the saying “Water is life〞.Healthy living starts with proper and safe drinking water. There are two types ofdrinking water － bottled water and tap water. Bottled water is water kept in bottles and sold in the market for drinking purposes. Tap water, also referred to as running water, is the common household water.There is a heated discussion as to whether bottled water is safer than tap water for drinking purposes. The level of contamination in tap water varies depending upon the country. To get an understanding ab out which is better, let’s go through the comparison of bottled water and tap water.The basic issue is the affordability; tap water is much cheaper than bottled water. So for many people, difference in price is the major consideration.In 1999, it was found that the quality of bottled water was the same as tap water. In fact, more than 25 percent of bottled water was tap water kept in bottles. Campaigns were organized in order to make the public aware of the fact, and limit the use of bottled water. The use of bottled water results in several environmental issues. It is a fact that for making one liter of bottled water, more than six liters of water is required, thereby resulting in water wastage. Though, the bottles can be sent for plastic recycling, many are dumped in trash bins. Due to these reasons, environmentalists strongly oppose the use of bottled water.81.

I told her I would 36 it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been ableto 37 .When I met her father, he began to explain that he was 38 once too and that he would hate to 39 things that could be very 40 . At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then he 41 to see if anyone he knew could use them first.When he was 42 me around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板)，a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was 43 him by getting rid of them.As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work though she’d never been able to. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.56.

China Daily: An International TeamD. China Daily: The Best Working ConditionCBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive(漂亮的) people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can becomea liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plain(平常的，不漂亮的) men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.66. The word "liability" most probably means __________.A. disadvantageB. advantageC. misfortuneD. trouble67. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.A. makes women look more honest and capableB. strengthens the qualifies requiredC. is of no importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly68. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness ____.A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womenC. affects men and women alikeD. has as little effect on men as on women69. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often ____.A. practicalB. supportiveC. old-fashionedD. one-sided70. The author writes this passage to ________________.A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveB. discuss the disadvantages of women being attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. state the importance of appearancePART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Since it was founded a year ago, the babysitting pool has become increasingly popular in the United States. More and more mothers have joined it and have benefited from it. What attracts them most is the idea that you pay your babysitter not in cash, but in paper cards. When you join the babysitting pool, you are given thirty cards, which are worth 30-minute babysitting time each. For each half an hour while you are gone, the babysitter gets paid one card.There are rules regulating this service. You should not watch more than three kids at a time including your own. On big holidays, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, the babysitter should be paid twice as much, which means two cards for every half an hour. When you leave the babysitting pool, you should return all the cards. If you are out of cards, you cannot use money instead. You should have to baby-sit for others to earn enough cards so that you will have them handy when you yourself need a babysitter.Many mothers think highly of this service. It keeps children in constant touch with one another, and makes life easier for the mothers. Since in most cases, the babysitter is the mother who watches other kids at her own home, it is still possible for her to do her own things while the kids play with each other. In fact most mother babysitters find that their own kids are less of a monster and easier to watch when they are around other playmates. Moreover, since the babysitting pool service does not involve money, it will not be a financial loss to the family.In the past year, the babysitting pool has helped so many mothers with their work that they all think that it is indeed a good community service worth keeping.SECTION B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is stro ng enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. H e knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To end this, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的)customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.81. What do the underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ? ( no more than 3words)82. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (no more than 8 words)83. Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (no more than 6 words)84. Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?

Fill in each blank with a word that best fits the context.As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 36 down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body. 007Stress is a 37 part of everyday life and there is no way to 38 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 39 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can bear 40 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 41 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 42 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44 between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to beso extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47 links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?36.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked with A、B、C and D, Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AFor new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their dark red passport, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying a large and strange family.Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologies and market researchers, and are more interesting35% of Germans live alone, but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’tjust be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain.The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, playfewest sports.The Germa ns spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, it’s colder.Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者)of Europe. If you hate commuting, goand live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is amongthe British or Swedes. So, sharing a lift is a torture for both the British and the Swedish.There are exceptions to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, just laugh a lot and eat and point at things.”56.We can know from this passage that______________.A.sociologist are most interested in the idea of European UnionB.most European countries are not willing to join the European UnionC.Europeans have more differences than similaritiesD.trade opportunities exit in the cultural differences in the European Union57.If you work and live in Belgium, you will______________.A. have to change your living places oftenB. not get used to its cold weatherC. seldom sees people playing sportsD. be invited to go for a drink frequently58. The underlined sentence means that the British and Swedish _________________.A. care about their safety mostB. like to appear gentle and smartC. hate to look at each other face to faceD. enjoy a richer life than others59.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Spain?A.Spaniards hate direct eye-contact between strangers.B.Spaniards like to go for a drink after dark.C.Spaniards spend twice as much on heating as the Germans.D.In Spain, husbands do more household shopping than those in Italy.60.In the last paragraph, the author wants to express his idea that ______________.A.his daughter knows well how to understand foreigners in unfamiliar situationsB.Europeans actually share the same culture even if they have different languagesC.being a European, you will have no living trouble at all in the European UnionD.there are differences between European countries, but don’t take them tooseriouslyBThis is a dangerous world we live in. The number of murders goes up every year, people are dying of cancer, more people contract HIV, more teens are using drugs, ect. You know this because you’ve heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper. But do you really have an accurate idea what they mean? The numbers are going up, but how do they compare to the growth in population? Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques, or are the diseases more common? The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.This growing trend of reporting only part of the information is becoming dangerous. For example, several years ago a high school student reported the dangers of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide. This chemical, found in most cancerous tumors, is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol, and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once. After reading his report, more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical! Every one of the above statement is true, yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth. The students made a mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics, rather than the chemical’s full background.The point of this article is that one should be aware of what is and is not being said. When one finds a new fact or number, one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths. Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view, and will leave our information that is different from his view. For example, look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe. Only 32 people die each year when skiing, while 897 die from lightening strikes, but which is really more dangerous? If you think more about it, you will realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people in danger of a lightning strike. When you think about it again, skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at the statistics. If we teenagers are to be left in this world, we had better be able to think critically, and form our own views, rather than be easily persuaded by another’s. To be warned is just to be prepared.61.What’s the author’s attitude towards the growing trend of reporting only part of theinformation?A.DisapprovingB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Dangerous62.In the first paragraph, what does the writer suggest?A.We are now living in a dangerous world.B.We get a lot of false statistics from the media.C.There are around us more and more murders diseases, ect.D.Statistics alone without full background don’t give us an accurate picture of things.63.What’s the purpose of the writer’s using the two examples in the second paragraph?A.To argue that high school students are easily persuaded.B.To prove what is necessary to us might be dangerous.C.To show the danger of reporting only part of the information.D.To warn us of the harmful substance around us.64.Relative information is often left out because ___________________.A.it is not importantB.the author is trying to show what he or she says is trueC.readers will consider other important informationD.readers are able to form an opinion with half-truths65.What can we learn from the passage?A.Some measures must be taken to protect our dangerous world.B.The growing trend of reporting only half-truths is getting out of control.C.Teenagers ought to improve their ability of telling right from wrong.D.We should learn to think critically and look at problems from all sides.CImagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag. The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, u nder your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin t hat will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back:10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication, n ot for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’sa wild guess: Not for buying milk.66. The article is intended to .A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technologyB. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technologyC. convince people of the uses of RFID technologyD. predict the applications of RFID technology67. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people .A. will have no trouble getting data about othersB. will have more energy for conversationC. will have more time to make friendsD. won’t feel shy at parties any longer68. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of .A. scanning devicesB. radio wavesC. batteriesD. chips69. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.B. Because market competition will become more fierce.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.70. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology .A. will not be used for such matters as buying milkB. will be widely used, including for buying milkC. will be limited to communication usesD. will probably be used for pop musicPART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirections:Read the following passage.

It's a big block of water coming onto the land,” Sigala said.Chile has already experienced several aftershocks following the quake.“Aftershocks ar e definitely a concern,” said Sigala. "We always see aftershocks with a large quake and a shallow quake, which this one was. And as of right now, we've located about maybe 15 aftershocks and those are of the larger kind. I'm sure they felt much more than t hat.”“A shallow earthquake just means that it happen ed pretty close to the surface,” said Sigala. “And because of that the energy is really close to the surface, where all the buildings and people are.”50 deaths caused by aftershocks have been reported, according to the national emergency agency, adding the estimate casualties to 960.Title: Concerns after 71I.

For colleagues in the East the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian firms try harder to keep jobs in difficult times, which will stop unemployment and may help keep Asian economies afloat at a time of slowing exports.▃▄▅▆▇██■▓点亮心灯 ~~~///(^v^)\\\~~~ 照亮人生▃▄▅▆▇██■▓The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for firms to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, leaving some experts predicting Western shift to Eastern flexibility.“In the Confucian attitude, the right thing to do is to share the burden. There is the sense of collective responsibility whereas in the west, it’s more about the individual survival,”said Michael Benotlel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore ManagementUniversity.Steven Pang, Asian Regional director for Aquent, a headhunting firm, said in many East Asian companies there was an responsibility “ to take care of the members of the family and go through the pain together” even if that meant causing losses.Us firms from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands. But at the Asian units of Western multinationals, jobs cuts will probably less severe.Japan’s jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong’s was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad.81.

One possible versionIn the picture we see a group of children playing hopscotch happily while a boy is sitting in front of his computer，fully absorbed in a game．This picture intends to show how children today and in the past spend their free time．In the old days, there was no modem equipment such as TV sets or computers，so children killed time，playing games outdoors．With the development of science and technology，children are so attracted by computer games that they become addicted and stay in front of the screen all day long．Unlike the kids playing hopscotch，a team game，the boy who tends to spend more time alone easily develops psychological problems such as a 1ack of a sense of cooperation and communication skills．In my opinion，interesting and popular as the computer game is, teenagers shouldn’t lose themselves in it. Instead, it’s not bad to spare some time to do outdoor activities with friends or classmates, which will do good to both their physical and mental health.。

For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.4. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?A. It is equal to the space exploration.B. It is well developed.C. It deserves more attention and devotion.D. It is beyond our knowledge.5. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.B. Preventing the world getting warmer.C. Mapping the global ocean floor.D. Removing salt from sea water.6. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. Oceans, the Last Hope.B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.C. Space, the Final Frontier.D. Space, the Faraway Dream.CA smiling panda and a walking Chinese lantern will be the mascots of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics (残奥会）in Beijing .The mascots were known to the public on Sept.17, 2019 at a ceremony inBeijing.
