   Learning English is great importance. English is widely used all over the world. It was often used in the

international meetings. Most business letters are written in English. With a help of English we can learn

modern science and technology from the developed countries. We can also introduce our achievement and

experiences to other countries. Because of their importance, English is a requiring subject in high schools

and colleges. Now many people are working hardly at English. It’s very important to learn English well. If

 we learn English well, we can serve for our country better. So I suggest most Chinese can learn it well.

   Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, bow you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.

   First, let's talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it's very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn't enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.

   If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you'll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.

____   80. ____________

Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and reaching your office in Shanghai in only several hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.

Sounds unusual, doesn’t it? But it’s not so unrealistic, with the development of China’s high-speed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan — to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.

China is negotiating (谈判) to expand its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.

China has suggested three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.

If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could arrive in Beijing from London in under two days.

The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard (标准). And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.

China’s bullet train (高速列车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.

Of course, there are some technology difficulties to solve, such as safety, rail gauge (轨距), repairs of railway tracks. So, it’s important to pay attention to every detail (细节).

But the greatest problem is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on its own country’s railway system.

China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources instead of money. Resources from those countries could help China’s development.

It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and the better communication among those countries as well.

For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We predict that in the future, millions of people will live in the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west. And they’ll do business with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.

67. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because _______.

A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions

B. the project will do good to China and the countries involved in many ways

C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries

D. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism

68. The greatest problem to the new high-speed railway plan is _______.

A. technology problem　　　　　　　　　　　 B. safety of the system　

C. financial problems　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 D. repairs of railway tracks

69. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?

A. Not concerned.　　　　　 B. Negative.　　　 　　 C. Disbelief.　　　　 D. Positive.

70. What is the best title for the passage?

A. New Railway Standards.　　　　　　 　　　 B. Big Railway Dreams.

C. High-speed Bullet Trains.　　　　　　 　　　　 D. International Railway Network.

It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is actually worldwide. On several occasions (情形) over the past ten years, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major industrial and traffic center. In fact, the very climate (气候) of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increase of carbon dioxide in the air which comes from the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料) , such as coal and oil is creating a “greenhouse effect” — holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.

Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter (颗粒物) in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature ─ a result that would be equally full of danger. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies (趋势) will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.

64. People used to think that air pollution ______.

       A. affected the entire eastern half of the United States

       B. had damaging effects on health

       C. existed only in urban and industrial areas

65. As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author ______.

       A. is uncertain of its happening

       B. thinks that it will destroy the world soon

       C. refuses it as being ungrounded

       D. shares the same view with the scientists

66. The underlined word “offset” probably mean ______ in Chinese.

       A. 强化                     B. 抵消                  C. 并存                          D. 补偿

I have been using the Internet since I was five, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the Internet.

I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook. Myspace — I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I began to know e-commerce: business on the Internet.

Some online business are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employee (雇员) spread worldwide. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?

My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing all the deals I was missing out on.

That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.

“Why are all these packages（包裹）arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to (寄给) my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mails than their elders!

“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money — online or off!

“How much did all of this cost?”

“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”

I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.

A. had no experience using computers                B. had no idea of what e-commerce is

C. only used the Internet to check e-mail            D. thought surfing the Internet was a waste of time

62. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author ______.

A. has begun to enjoy online shopping                B. loves the big store in her backyard

C. feels he is a true master of the Internet           D. never enjoyed shopping that much

63. What’s the purpose of the article?

A. To make an online shopping ad.

B. To do business on the Internet.

C. To tell the readers how he begins online shopping.

D. To advise people to do online shopping.
