Instead of renting a restaurant for an expensive wedding banquet (盛宴) ,26-year-olds Wang Shaowei and Zhang Xin tied the knot (紧缩) at a cost of nine yuan (US $ 1. 40) spent on a mar?riage certificate.

The couple,who just recently 1        the work force,forwent nearly all the traditional pre?requisites (必备条件) of a Chinese wedding:owning an apartment and a car,buying wedding rings and 2       a pricy ceremony at a posh (豪华的) hotel.

"We had a big dinner in our twobedroom rented apartment to 3        the start of our mar?

ried life,and nothing 4,      "said Wang,who lives with his wife in Shijiazhuang,capital of Hebei Province.

In recent years,an increasing number of Chinese young people have chosen a " naked mar?riage" .

The term,coined (创造) in 2008 by Chinese bloggers,has drawn5      discussion since a popular TV series dubbed " Naked Marriage Era" brought the 6        into the public spotlight (注意) 7       a chord (共鸣) with young Chinese,especially those born in the 1980s.

The term refers to a.8       who get hitched ( = married) before acquiring a house and car and who spend little 9        their wedding ceremony. Some do so 10        in an effort to declare their 11       ,while others simply have no 12       .

"Naked marriage" marks a sharp 13        from China's established marriage 14       ,which encourage parents to help lay the 15        foundation for their children's marriage by helping them secure a house and car.

According to a poll 16        by the social investigation center of the China Youth Daily prior to this year's Chinese Valentine's Day,Qixi Festival that fell on Saturday,nearly 48 percent of 3,214 respondents said they supported the idea of " naked marriages", 17       about 23 percent 18       it.

The vote also showed that about 55 percent of the respondents viewed courage as essential when engaging in a "naked marriage" and 43 percent of them 19        that married life of the couple who had a " naked marriage" would be much 20        than their peers with better financial status.

 Scientists say there are more than three hundred thousand small objects or pieces of debris (碎片) that are larger than one centimeter in orbit round the earth. Any one of these could cause damage to a spacecraft. This is because orbital debris travels very fast― about thirtytwo thou?sand kilometers an hour or more. Even a very small object can be a major threat.

  Space debris made horrible news on March 20th when a part of an old rocket motor about ten centimeters in size threatened the International Space Station (ISS) . NASA warned the three astronauts inside before the object was to reach the area of the station. The three astronauts quickly moved into the Soyuz emergency escape vehicle as a safety measure. They spent about 11 tense minutes in the capsule. Millions of people were watching the news in front of the televi?sion.

  A more costly incident took place on February 10th. An old Russian military satellite and a United States communications satellite crashed into each other eight hundred kilometers above Siberia in Russia. The collision of the two satellites was the first of its kind in over fifty years of space travel. It spread hundreds of pieces of debris that are larger than one centimeter. Russia launched the Kosmos satellite in1993. But it had not operated for ten years. It was one of hundreds of inactive satellites that remain in orbit. The American Iridium 33 satellite was used for telephone communications. It was owned by Iridium Satellite,a company based in Bethesda,Maryland. The collision was really a loss to the company. But it quickly used another satel?lite as a substitute of Iridium 33 so the collision caused little influence to its service.

  But some even bigger debriscausing events take place sometimes. For example in January,2007,one country tested an antisatellite missile by destroying one of its weather satellites. The test broke the satellites apart into at least two thousand eight hundred identifiable pieces. The debris now circles the earth in orbit from two hundred kilometers to over three thousand eight hundred kilometers.

  Currently,there is no treaty to control the spread of space debris.  Scientists have propounded many ways of cleaning up space,such as using nets,giant collecting arms and powerful laser beams that would move or destroy space junk. But for now,these are just ideas. And,as more nations launch spacecraft,the risk of debris strikes will only grow.

(   ) 5. What makes space debris so destructive?

   A. Its great population. B. Its particular shape.

   C. Its travel speed. D. Its inside structure.

(   ) 6. From the second paragraph we can know that         .

   A. the old rocket motor caused great damage to ISS on March 20th

   B. the news that the old rocker motor made drew great attention from the world

   C. the three astronauts lost their lives in the collision on March 20th

   D. the earth couldn't get in touch with the three astronauts on March 20th

(   ) 7. The last two paragraphs imply that         ,

   A. few rules about protecting the environment of space are being carried out

   B. the development of science will make space a more dangerous place

   C. many countries have agreed on the idea of removing space debris together

   D. using giant collecting arms is the best way of treating space debris

(   ) 8. The underlined word "propounded" in the last paragraph means        .

   A. brought up   B. tried out   C. heard of   D. brought in

"A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right ," says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audi?ence for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion,it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing. "If you aren't telling a story,you're a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快) ,Mollie is indeed an entertainer. "I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said ' Nonsense,Mollie,dear,you'll be a writer. ' So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."

This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood in?evitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with butter?cup meadows and strawberry fields―sadly now covered with modern houses. "I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back," she said. "Never.""When I set one of my books in Scotland," she said, "I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village black?smith at work. And that's important,because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them,as it did for us."

(   ) 5. What does Mollie Hunter's opinion about the nature of a good book?

   A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

   B. It should be attractive to young readers.

   C. It should be based on original ideas.

   D. It should not include too much conversation.

(   ) 6. In Mollie Hunter's viewpoint,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

   A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills.

   C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story.

(   ) 7. In comparison with children of earlier years,Mollie feels that modern children are

   A. more intelligent   B. better informed

   C. less eager to learn   D. less interested in reality

(   ) 8. What's the writer's purpose in writing this text?

   A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.

   B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.

   C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.

   D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers.
