8.The crisis at Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry.Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States.He says the disaster in Japan is historic.
This week,the chairman of America's nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States.Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats.No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979.That was when America's worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania.The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.
To support more clean energy production,the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers.Presently,about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy.But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.
German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would doae all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered.The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations.
Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion.China said it would continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants.And India,under a cooperation agreement with the United States,plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years.
Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s.Unlike many major economies,Japan imports eighty percent of its energy.The Nuclear Energy Institute said twenty-nine percent of Japan's electricity came from nuclear sources in 2011.The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2017.
Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity.Nuclear energy is a clean resource,producing no carbon gases.But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved issue.So is the presence of nuclear oower centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr.Iran.
71.Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy?D
A.China.                          B.India.             
C.Iran.                           D.Germany.
72.The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy in 2017 by          compared with 2011.D
A.29%            B.40%            C.69%                  D.11%
73.Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U.S.is TRUE?D
A.Most of the electricity comes from nuclear energy in the U.S.
B.The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants.
C.A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979.
D.A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s.
74.What's the main idea of this passage?B
A.The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world.
B.The situation of the world's nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan
C.Japan's nuclear disaster will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world
D.Japan's nuclear disaster won't affect the nuclear energy production in other countries.
75.From the last sentence of the passage,we can see the writer's attitude toward building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr,Iran isC.     
A.supportive       B.optimistic       C.negative               D.uncertain.

18.In choosing a friend,one should be very careful.A good friend can help you study.You can have fun together and make each other happy.Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends.They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they will run away.How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities (品质) of character,especially understanding,honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend.A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling.He is not quick to judge.Instead,he tries to learn from others.He puts himself in the other person's place,and he tries to think of ways to be helpful.He is also a good listener.
At the same time,however,a good friend is honest.He does not look for faults (过错) in others.He notices their good points.In short,a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability.I can always depend on a good friend.If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will be there.If I need a favor,he will do his best to help me.If I am in trouble,he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special.A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.We should enjoy our lives,and we would enjoy our friendship.That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with.A good friend likes the same things I like.We share experience (经验) and learn from each other.A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默),too.He likes to laugh with me.That is how we share in the joy of being friends.And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable,honest,and understanding,I know I've found a friend!
29.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A

19.As women in the rich Asian country have become better educated,with five times as many now getting advanced degrees as in 1995,they have also become choosier and are less likely to settle for the role of gentle wife traditionally expected of Korean women.
"I heard if you are a female with master's degree,it is much harder to arrange a meeting than if you have a bachelor's degree because of an unfavorable concept'too smart women'here,"said King,a college senior in Seoul.
The age at which Korean women are getting hitchedhas risen by an average 4.1 years over the past 20 years to 28.9 years,according to Statistics Korea,and that has created worried mothers getting things rolling for their daughters.
"My daughter is in her early 30's,an age considered late for marriage here",said a woman who took her daughter to a match-making agency in Seoul.
"If she does not find her match this year,it will be much more difficult to marry in the coming years.So I went to the firm with her and made her join."
At DUO,a matchmaking firm,its 26,000 members can choose between five different membership programs with fees from 1.08 million won( 韩元)($971)to 8.8 million won.
To attract more customers,the site displays the average annual income of its male and female customers,as well as their professional standing.
"In a privately set-up blind date,you cannot be entirely sure of how much of personal information given to you is accurate,"said DUO spokesman Yon Jun.
Critics say the industry focuses more on income and status.Some of them have coined the phrase"employage"to sum up employment and marriage.
"If your father works in the financial industry or is a high-ranking administrator,maybe you will find your match with similar backgrounds through a matchmaking firm,starting a perfect marriage on the back of parental support,"said comedian Quan.

63.The underlined word"hitched"in Paragraph 3 probably meansB.

    C.mothers are more worried about themselves than their daughters
    D.twenty years ago,girls averaged less than 25 when they were married

16.The young people who talk of the village as being"dead"are talking nothing but nonsense,as in their hearts they must surely know.
No,the village is not dead.There is more life in it now than there ever was.But it seems that"village lire".is dead.Gone for ever.It began to decline about a hundred years ago.When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away,and men also left home-in increasing numbers in search of work,and home was where work was.There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what"village life"meant in the early years of the last century.It meant finding.your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it.It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day.It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.
Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war.new ideas,now attitudes.new trades and occupations were brought to villagers.The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make"village life"and"town life"almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all,there is no point whatever in talking any longer about"village life.".It is just life.and a better life.
Finally,if we have any doubts about the future,or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives.we have only to look in at the school playground any midmorning;or see the children as they walk home fn little groups.Obviously there children ale better fed,better clothed,better educated,healthier.prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before.walked the village street.

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.

45.According to the text,which of the following statements is TURE?B
A.Australia now us the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.

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.

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.

20.Dear Volunteers,
The service you will provide to elderly individuals in Abilene as a Meals on Wheels volunteer is deeply appreciated.I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many miles you will travel and all of the hours you will contribute to help make this one of the best programs in the entire state.
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.
Sincerely,
Betty L.Bradley,LBSW,

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
A.his father's influence            
B.his devotion to basketball
C.his years of hard work           
D.his graduation from Harvard University
68.What does the phrases"wore off"in seventh paragraph probably mean?B
A.arose      B.disappeared        C.grew        D.remained
