9.The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance (援助).Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the world.Last year,it provided more than seventeen thousand million dollars in loans (贷款) for developing countries to help end poverty.
The money was sent to reduce debt (债务) for some of the poorest countries in the world.That program was aimed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past.As a result,twenty-three countries received debt assistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before.
The World Bank does more than just provide loans,however.It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from investing in the people of a country-especially through education and health programs.
The World Bank employs engineers,economists,public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of programs.These professionals also provide developing countries with the necessary technical help to carry out the programs.
The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing nations,where life expectancy (寿命) has increased and baby and child deaths have decreased,and more adults now can read than in the past.
However,at recent World Bank meetings,opponents say Bank programs make developed nations richer and developing nations poorer.Others say the organization's activities result in environmental damage.
66.The World Bank aims to.A

10.CThe iPhone,the iPad,each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fashion.Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"-and many other brands are following suit.The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-adopted the title in 2008.A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called"iTeddy".A slimmed down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i".
In general,single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s,when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent"i",it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i".Why not use"a","b",or"c"?According to Tony Thorne,head of the Language Center at King's College,London,"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous.When Apple uses"i",no one knows whether it means Internet,information,individual or interactive,Thorne told BBC Magazines."Even when Apple created the iPad,it seems it didn't have one clear definition."He says.
"However,thanks to Apple,the term is now associated with portability(轻便)."Adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.Each person believes they have their own needs,and they love personalized products for this reason.
Along with"Google"and"blog",readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows,people grow tired of fashion.From the 1900s to 1990s,products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern.However,as we entered the new century,the trend disappeared.
61.People use iPlayer toD.
A.listen to music   B.make a call  C.read newspapers  D.watch TV programs online
62.We can infer that the Independent"i"is aimed atC.
A.fashionable women       B.old readers     C.young readers    D.engineers
63.The underlined word"ambiguous"in Paragraph 4 meansB.
A.popular      B.uncertain      C.definite       D.unique
64.The writer suggests thatA.
A.the popularity of"i"products may not last long       
B.iTeddy is a live bear
C.the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products  
D."i"products are often of high quality
65.Nowadays,the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areA.
A.portable        B.environmentally friendly     C.advanced      D.recyclable.

14.Every human being has a unique(唯一的,独特的) arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children,though nobody knows why this is the case.
 The ridge structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries.Burns,cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one,which bears a reproduction of the original(最粗的,原始的) pattern.It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
 Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink.They can by recorded easily.With special methods,identification(辨认,鉴定) can be achieved successfully within a short time.Because of the simplicity and economy of this system,finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case.A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain.His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.
 When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime,they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.Special techniques are used to"develop"them.Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.

4.It is not a good idea to stop the actor Richard Griffiths in the middle of a play.During the past year he had stopped performances many times at the National Theatre when mobile phones rang,and he threw out one member of the audience because she failed to turn off her phone.
So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance in Alan Bennett's The History Boys,he spoke angrily to the theatergoer,"I am not going to compete with these electronic devices (装置)."
Griffiths'actions led to a debate in the UK theatre world over whether phones should be forbidden by law from British theatres.Actors have already asked the govern-
ment to legalize the use of an electronic device that stops mobile phone signals in theatres.
Technology companies have"stopping"devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency as a mobile phone,stopping the mobile phone signals.
However,these are forbidden in many countries because they might stop emergency (紧急情况) calls from being made.
Rosemary Squire,president of the Society of West End Theatre,said,"Phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face.We should look at equipment that could stop phones or make a London-wide theatre rule."
Nick Allott,the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's theatre group,said,"We would all welcome some ways of keeping phones from ringing but doctors and emergency workers need to be connected in a theatre and we mustn't stop that."What can we do to solve the problem?

8.You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place."They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering."They"are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as"they"are around.Or you may blame yourself for all your problems,thus internalizing(内化)your victimization.The truth is,your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives,but they don't let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknesses,yet they don't blame themselves when they fail.Whatever happens,they have choice in the matter.They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities,yet their experience of life is worlds apart.Victims relish (沉溺)in anger,guilt,and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims,too.Creators consciously choose love,inspiration,and other qualities which inspire not only themselves,but all around them.Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person,on losing a job or a special relationship,may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief,then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance,you can choose to have fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
69.What does the word"they"in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A
A.People and things around you
B.Opportunities and problems.
C.Creators and their choices
D.Victims and their sufferings.
70.According to Paragraph 2,creatorsC.

D.Compared with victims,creators are more emotional.
72.The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show thatA.
A.strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims.
B.people need family support to deal with challengers in life.

B.To evaluate victims against creators.
C.To explain the relationship between victims and creators.
D.To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.
9.Like human beings,dogs may catch cold because of cold weather,wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs.If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes,coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏),then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.
A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power (免疫力) to get rid of the cold naturally.Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.
You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet.Healthy food can really do wonders.Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet(兽医) or is healthy for your pet.Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A,C and E.
Keep your dog warm.The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house.Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet.At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets.This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.
Increase the fluid(流质)intake as it helps a lot.Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth (肉汤)in water which will give your dog strength.Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections(呼吸道感染).
Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold.It makes the nasal(鼻的) passage wet,which helps proper breathing.Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes.Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.
These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold.However,if you are not able to find any improvement in its health,then turn to the vet for help immediately.Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications(并发症).
