12.The decision to enter F1and compete at the highest level of motorsport was an intended move by Toyota,the world's third largest auto manufacturer,to further challenge its own capabilities.By going head-to-head with the industry's top performers on the world's premier racing stage,the Japanese giant was setting itself a huge task.A sport with an enormous international following,the risks of entering the F1arena are high-but there are rich rewards for those who succeed.Besides being a showcase for state-of-the-art technology,the intense competition in this most demanding of racing disciplines leaves no room for self-satisfaction.More importantly,it fosters(培养)the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that Toyota is seeking.
While F1benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its competitors,the demands placed on Panasonic Toyota Racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough experience as a team.Mistakes were made and valuable lessons were learned,among which was the fundamental truth:"To stand still in F1is to go backwards."
With the past in mind,preparations for the 2003season included sweeping changes on both the technical and personnel(人事的)sides.The management at Toyota Motorsport GmbH was restructured,with John Howett moving from Toyota Motor Marketing Europe to become President,thus enabling the company founder,Ove Andersson,more time to concentrate on the operation of the race team at the track.Andersson's value as an inspirational leader was one of the team's biggest assets(财富)in 2002.

68.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2mean?B
A.To go backwards,Toyota has to stand still.
B.If Toyota doesn't make improvements,they will fall behind.
C.Keeping calm will help go forward.
D.In order to keep up with other teams,Toyota has to stand still.
69.We can learn from the passage thatD.
A.Toyota entered F1to enlarge its market.
B.Entering F1is low risk but rich rewarding.
C.Toyota team has always been experienced.
D.Toyota made good preparations for the 2003season.
70.What will the next paragraph talk about if the passage goes on?B
A.Preparations for the 2003season.
B.The value of Ove Andersson.
C.How to improve the European market.
D.Changes on technical side.

2.With the crazy smog going on in China,businessmen are now ready to sell people something to fight against the smog."Smog economy"has helped certain products against the terrible weather become popular.Now let's see what we have on the list to help us through the terrible weather.
1.Masks
Well,I would say you had better stay indoors to save your lives.PM 2.5just increased greatly up t0 750in Beijing recently.3M just sold 220,000masks of a kind.No.1best-selling products!
2.Air purifiers(空气净化器)
This kind of products was rarely seen in Chinese households in the past.They have become a must now.I do like these little devices,though they are expensive.
3.Oxygen inhalers(氧气吸人器)
I didn't realize oxygen inhalers also get a cut in the smog economy.As a matter of fact,
your oxygen uptake has nothing to do with relieving (减轻) the bad effect of smog.It might even lead to oxygen poisoning when you inhale too much oxygen.So don't get greedy.
4.Salt lamps
Compared to oxygen inhalers,salt lamps are even worse.Some stores are selling the products at several hundred yuan,saying that they can release negative ions(离子),reduce radiation levels and purify the air.The lamps mainly contain sodium chloride.The boiling point of sodium is about 800degrees centigrade and that of candle is 500.So how on earth can
negative ions be released at only 500degrees?
5.Plants that absorb smog
Yeah,right.Plants Vs Smog.It is scientifically justfied (证明) that some plants do
absorb pollutants(污染物)from the air.Many plants and calla lilies are among the best-sellers in the market.Even if they don't work,it's good to have some plants in the house anyway.

29.According to the passage,smog _C.
A.encourages peope to run away from it
B.keeps people stay indoors day and niht

B.people don't know how to increase its low boiling point
C.it may make the air even worse and dirtier
D.it actually can't give off the negative ions
31.How many products does the author think of as useful ways to fight against the smog?B

3.Australia-The vote for euthanasia (安乐死) was finally taken at 3:45this morning.After six months'argument and final 16hours'hot debates.Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die.The bill was passed by the vote of 15to 10.Almost immediately world flashed on the Internet and was picked up,half a world away,by John Hofsess,the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada.He sent it on through the group's on-line service,Death NET.Hofsess says,"We posted it all day long,because this isn't just something that happened in Australia.It's world history."
The full import may take a while to understand.The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical implications.Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others,including churches,right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association,bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage.But the tide is unlikely to turn back.In Australia--where an aging population,life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia.In the U.S.and Canada,where the right to die movement is gathering strength,observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start failing.
Under the new Northern Territory law,an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to put an end to suffering.The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors.After a"cooling off"period of seven days,the patient can sign a certificate of request.After 48hours the wish for death can be met.For Lloyd Nickson,a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer,the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering:a terrifying deat from his breathing condition."I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view,but what I was afraid of washow I'd go,because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,"he says.

C.Many patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.
D.According to the law,if a patient requests death,his or her wish will be met after 48hours.
46.The underlined sentence in Para 2,"observes are waiting for the dominoes to start falling."means that observes are waiting to seeD.
A.the result of the game of dominoes.
B.that people's attitude to euthanasia will be changed.
C.that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.
D.the similar bills will be passed in other countries.
47.Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia,but not USA or Canada.Which one is NOT the reason?B
A.In Australia,the technology of extending life is advanced.
B.In Australia,it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.

We have our staff members make a home visit before adding each person to the program and try to visit everyone at least once every year.That is hardly enough,and we depend on your contact a great deal!It is important that you report back when you do not get an answer to your knock on the door.The person inside may be hurt or ill.They may be in hospital or out of town and fail to inform us.If they are frequently absent,we may need to determine if they still need meals.
If you find someone with a medical emergency,please call 911 to request medical assistance,and then call the Meals on Wheels office.If you find someone who needs assistance other than for a medical emergency,please call the Meals on Wheels office at 6725050,and we will try to find the appropriate agency or individual to call.
Let us know when a certain person needs extra food.We have a food preparation room of shelf stable items to share with them.Please feel free to take a few magazines when you deliver meals.Many of those we serve cannot afford magazines and enjoy reading.If someone is interested in getting books from the Abilene Public Library,let us know.We can sign them up for the Books on Wheels program.Call if you smell gas strongly when you deliver meals,or if someone needs a space heater,a blanket,or an electric fan.Please convey all needs to us,and we will try to see that they are met.Some of the elderly people who we offer our service may have cancers,liver diseases,AIDS,etc.If you do not want to deliver meals to the people with certain types of health problems,such as these,please let us know.

17.February 4,2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.
    Among professional basketball players,Jeremy Lin's background is not typical.He graduated from Harvard University,which sends few players to the NBA,and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.
    Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan.When Lin's father moved to U.S.,his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son,introducing him to the game at the age of five.The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.
    In high school,Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA.When he applied for college,he was not offered a single sports scholarship.However,after his admission to Harvard,he was offered a place on its college basketball team.
    During Lin's time at Harvard,his basketball career began to speed up.He scored 1,482 points,making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.
    When he graduated,no professional teams offered Lin a contract,but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.
    At first,playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement.He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years.But slowly,the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety.In a few very difficult months,he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.
    But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream,so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come.Then his moment arrived on February 4,2012,on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight.After that,he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.Knicks fans developed the nickname for him"Linsanity"(林发疯).Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100"Most Influential People in the World",Jeremy Lin included.
67.Which of the following is of little help in Lin's success?D

1.Losing weight has become a major concern for so many people.People try different weight loss methods,some of which will never work,while others provide just a temporary solution.It is important to note that there are some green ways to lose weight that are not only healthy and effective but also good for the environment.
Growing your own vegetables can ensure that you are eating healthy foods.The process is even better if you can use organic manure(肥料).It is not only a good way to go green; it also provides you with plenty of physical exercise.Preparing a garden,including planting and taking care of the vegetables,is a great way to achieve a healthy weight.
If you usually eat meat on a daily basis,you should consider replacing that meat with more vegetables.If you have no idea what vegetarian( 素食主义者)diets are like,you can do  research on the Internet,and you can also get information from vegetarian magazines such asVegetarian Times Magazine.By reducing your intake of meat,you will be able to reduce your intake of fats,and hence,it will be easier for you to get rid of some weight.
Reduce periods of driving and try walking or cycling instead.If you are used to driving your car,it would be great for you if you substituted walking or cycling for driving.Cycling and walking are good workouts that will ensure that your body burns excess fat and calories,and therefore,you will be able to lose weight.
It is important to know that there are so many ways in which we can turn our bad habits into good ones.Most of these good habits will not only benefit our bodies; they will also make the world a better place for all of us.

49.What does the first paragraph imply?B
A.Most people have good ways to lose weight.
B.Most weight loss methods don't work well.
C.People don't like the taste of healthy food.
D.People don't care about the environment.

2.The world of taxi drivers is dominated by men.But there is one small cab company in Delhi,where all the drivers and passengers are female.Women's safety is a hot topic in India at the moment,so it's proving a very popular service."When I'm on the road driving our cab I feel very proud,because this is a cab service for women,and I'm a woman,"says 31-year-old Shanti Sharma,who is one of the eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.The last couple of months,since the brutal rape and murder in the city of a student travelling on a bus,have been particularly busy for her and colleagues."After this case,our workload has increased so much,"says Sharma."Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now."Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment,and worse,especially on public transport.Sharma,a single parent with three daughters,has been working as a taxi driver since 2011.When the service was first set up,it has changed her life.This is the first time that she has earned enough-about $250 (£160)a month-to support her family.Of course,she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies."When I park somewhere,there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out,"she says."I'm usually the only woman in the parking lot,so I'll just stay inside the car."
It's not much better when she is out on the road.Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time."As soon as they see a girl at the wheel,they start honking for no reason.They'll drive as swiftly as possible to overtake you.I'm always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone."
The company behind Cabs for Women by Women,Sakha Consulting Wings,had a number of goals when it set up the service.It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money.By putting women in charge of technologies,it also wanted to change people's attitudes,and open up boundaries for women.
