A
Many of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe. But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance (毅力). South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies (体现) those virtues.
Du Toit, 24, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic
Games and the Paralympics (残奥会) in Beijing. Although she finished 16th in the tough
One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17.
“There are a lot of dark moments,” du Toit said. “There are some days when I cry. But I try to remember that better days are ahead. You just go on.”
Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.
She still competes and still succeeds. The only difference is she
has switched to longer events―from
“Going out in the water, it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me. It doesn’t matter if you look different. You’re still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.”
She is the holder of many world records, and she also won gold when
competing against able-bodied swimmers in the
But there is no magic recipe for success. It all lies in hard work and determination. “She is stubborn (固执的), which is good and bad,” said her coach Karoly Von Toros. “Good for the swimming, but bad for the coach.”
There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:
“The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals.
The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach for.”

DNA tells the story of the race to discover the structure of DNA, and the scientists who changed our understanding of the world and everything in it. The five-part series, to be broadcast from Thursday July 14 at 8:30 p.m. on ABC TV, also looks at the implications of the scientists’ work for the future of mankind.
The scientists were a small group of pioneers who explored a world too small to see. What they found there answered some eternal questions ―What is life? How is it made? Why are children like their parents?
DNA is without doubt the most powerful substance on Earth. The order of its chemicals determines whether a child has her mother’s eyes or her father’s smile. But as DNA reveals, until 50 years ago, almost no one knew of its existence. All that changed when two unknown scientists―Jim Watson and Francis Crick―ran into a bar in Cambridge shouting that they’d found the secret of life.
This declaration heralded (预示) a momentous discovery, not just for the human race but for the people involved. As this program reveals, it was one of the most heated scientific races the world has ever seen.
Dr Watson takes us back 50 years, guiding us through the tumultuous (喧嚣的) events that led to the creation of a double helix (螺旋结构) model being built by Dr Francis Crick and himself. He tells how he and Crick beat all the odds to find the double helix first and win the Nobel Prize.
The program reveals others involved with the DNA story, including Maurice Wilkins, who helped create the atom bomb. He became disillusioned (不再抱幻想的) with the science of death and chose the science of life instead, by looking for the structure of DNA.
5. The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.
A. introduce some scientists B. give a summary of a TV program
C. tell the importance of DNA D. report on a study on DNA
6. According to the passage, the underlined word “DNA” in the first paragraph refers to _____.
A. a five-part TV program B. a story about the scientists’ work
C. the most powerful substance on Earth
D. the substance discovered by two unknown scientists
7. The number of scientists mentioned in this passage is _____.
A. 2 B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. DNA explained certain eternal questions involving life.
B. Jim Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA.
C. Few scientists showed interest in DNA study.
D. Maurice Wilkins also did some study on DNA.

They say that Mexico is a country no one ever leaves. Every year, millions of tourists pass through, and Mexicans jovially(高兴地) warn that a part of them will remain behind forever. Most visitors are vacationing North Americans who wind up on the brilliant beaches of Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The beaches, of course, are among the world’s best―but those who venture inland are rewarded with the true soul of Mexico, which has always resided firmly in the interior.
And it is a big soul. Mexico is vast, comprising nearly two million square miles of coastline, desert, rain forests, mountains, and fertile plains. From the American borderlands of the wide, agriculturally rich north, the country narrows gently as it sweeps south and east. The two main mountain ranges, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental, hug the west and east, finally merging(并入) into the volcanically active central highlands and the capital, Mexico City―the most populous city in the world. Further south, the country narrows to only 100 miles, then broadens again before reaching the Guatemalan border. There are two major peninsulas(半岛) that are almost countries themselves. In the west is the poetically barren Baja Peninsula; to the east, protruding into the Caribbean like the end of a fish hook, is the Yucatan peninsula, bursting with rain forests, Mayan ruins, and white powder beaches.
The population is about 106 million, and the generosity（慷慨大方）of the Mexican people is unsurpassed (非常卓越的). Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.
Mexico has been graced with an unusually temperate climate year
round. The most important thing to remember is that the Mexican summer is also
the rainy season, although the rain rarely lasts more than a few hours, and
typically arrives in the late afternoon. Extremes are present only in the North
and in Baja, both of which have deserts where the temperature leaps above
13. By saying “Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.”, the writer wants to show that _____.
A. Mexicans are friendly to foreigners
B. Spanish is Mexico’s official language

C. economy mainly depends on agriculture
D. visitors can enjoy Mayan ruins in the forests
16. The purpose of this passage is to _____.
A. tell us the results of the writer’s survey
B. advise us to tour around Mexico C. give us some introduction about Mexico
D. show the relationship between temperature and desert

Children born in the autumn and winter months are more likely to be good at sports, according to one of the largest studies into childhood.
Researchers at Bristol University in England, where the study is based, found that children born in the spring were the most sluggish (懒惰的), according to a paper published in the British Medical Journal.
Those born in the summer were 4.5 percent more active, while those delivered in the autumn and winter were 9 percent more active.
The researchers asked 5,451 children aged 11 and 12 to wear devices around their waists that recorded, minute by minute, their levels of activity for a week. Researchers then compared the children’s activity levels with a lot of other factors such as their birth dates, how active their mothers were during and after pregnancy and whether they had siblings（兄弟姐妹).
Calum Mattocks, who is leading the study, said a biological explanation was unlikely. He suspected a link to when children begin school.
“If you’re born later in the school year, you’re likely to be smaller than your peers and that could disadvantage you in sports and other activities, such as playing,”he said.
Older children are likely to be bigger and stronger than their classmates and more likely to do better in sports, perhaps motivating them to stay interested in exercise as they grew up, he added.
The findings could help schools develop activity classes that encourage smaller, younger children, and help them improve their fitness.
Having at least one physically active parent led to children being on average 4 percent more active.
A weak link was found between watching television and activity levels later in life. Children who watched a lot of TV between the ages of three and four were less than 1 percent less active than others by the time they reached 11.
19. What does the underlined word “peers” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. People who are the same age.
B. People who like doing sports.
C. People who like helping their parents.
D. People who were born in summer.
20. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. if you are smaller, you’ll have an advantage in sports
B. if you’re born later, you’ll have an advantage in sports
C. if you have fewer siblings, you’ll have an advantage in sports
D. if you’re born earlier, you’ll have an advantage in sports
21. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Activity levels later in life have a weak link with watching television.
B. Children born in the spring were good at sports.
C. Children born in the autumn and winter were 9 percent more active.
D. Children born in the summer were 4.5 percent more active.

Although everything else in your life seems complicated at the moment, picking a college really comes down to some simple concepts. The steps you’ll need to take include learning the ABCs of getting started, familiarizing yourself with the basic types of college choices, understanding the college application process, and knowing your options（取舍）once you’ve made your choice.
Apparently, a whole lot of people got together one day and decided they would pick the prom king and queen of higher education. But don’t make the mistake of allowing your ultimate（最终的）college choice to come down to an opinion in a magazine you never even read. Rankings provide great publicity for the few colleges that get selected as the “best”, but in the end, the only judgment that matters is your own. You wouldn’t let a group of reporters choose your next boyfriend or girlfriend. Letting them choose your next college might not be such a wise move, either.
Think the national media has a monopoly(独有权) on college opinions? Not to worry, because if you haven’t heard from them already, pretty soon your parents, friends, and teachers will more than likely share their opinions with you on what makes a college great. One of the most difficult things you’ll have to do, in fact, is gently remind all those well-wishing advisors that you’re not just looking for the best college, but the right one.
By all means, take all the advice you can get, but take it all with a grain of salt. Start a list of all the people whose opinions matter to you and seek out their advice. This will usually include your parents, your siblings, your classmates, your teachers, and your high school guidance counselor（辅导员）. But think of this advice as a starting point.
Once you’ve got a list of colleges, start thinking about what kind of college you’d like to attend and ask yourself, “What qualities am I looking for in a school?” What follows is a guide to the many types of schools out there, and how to decide if any of them are right for you.
22. The whole passage mainly deals with _____.
A. the basics of choosing a college
B. the concerns of students nowadays
C. the media influence on education
D. the importance of decision-making
23. The author advises readers to _____.
A. trust information in magazines
B. put their own judgment above all
C. follow suggestions from parents
D. look for the best college
24. According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph suggests that _____.
A. more advice is a must
B. advice is not easy to gain
C. good advice is half success
D. not all advice is practical
25. Who might be most interested in this passage?
A. Parents and teachers.
B. College students.
C. Middle school students.
D. Magazine editors.

A new study finds that the animal known as man’s best friend can also be a good friend to the heart. Researchers in California say they have found that even just a short visit with a dog helped ease the worries of heart patients.
The study divided the patients into three groups. In Group A, a dog and a person visited each patient for twelve minutes. Patients in Group B received just a human visitor for twelve minutes. And members of Group C received no visitor, human or dogs.
The dogs would lie in the hospital bed so the heart patients could touch them. The researchers say some patients immediately smiled and talked to the dog and the human visitor. Dogs, in her words, “make people happier, calmer and feel more loved.”
The researchers examined the patients before, during and after the visits. They measured stress（紧张）levels based on blood flow and heart activity. They say they found a twenty-four percent decrease in the group visited by both a dog and a person. They reported a ten percent decrease in the group visited by a person only. There was no change in the patients without any visitors. These patients, however, did have an increase in their production of the hormone epinephrine（肾上腺素）. The body produces epinephrine during times of stress.
The increase was an average（平均值） of seven percent. But the study finds that patients who spent time with a dog had a seventeen percent drop in their levels of epinephrine. Patients visited by a human but not a dog also had a decrease, but only two percent.

A. the less the body produces epinephrine, the better
B. the longer a visit lasts, the happier the patient should be
C. the patients enjoyed the dogs’ company more than the human visitors’

On the 25th of January three years ago, my uncle, my cousin, and I went to the desert for hunting. It was the hunting season. My uncle was 72 years old, but he was still strong. My cousin at that time was 10 years old, and I was 25.
It took us three hours by car to reach the place we were looking for at 5:15 p.m. That night we ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30. Then we went to bed.
We left camp the next day at 7 o’clock in the morning. We went north
and found two kinds of birds and caught them. However, we faced trouble at 10:
We learned from the story that the desert is dangerous, but we will never give up hunting.

This year more than 125,000 high school graduates in Beijing are taking the national college entrance exam. And with the 36 degrees Celsius, should these tests be moved to another month? And students in Beijing aren’t the only ones suffering in the heat. The north, southeast coastal area and Xinjiang are almost burning at over 35 degrees.
The exam takers are suffering the effects of global warming. Heat puts more pressure on the heart to supply more blood to the brain. These students can’t afford to get these kinds of illnesses after a ten years of hard work at school. Commonly known as “gaokao” held in July in the past, the exam takes place in June following complaints （抱怨） about the terrible weather. But moving the exam time earlier hasn’t helped the students as June has become just as hot as July.
Should “gaokao” be adjusted according to the weather? Some experts suggested the exam should be held in May to avoid the hot weather or even organize the exams in April next year to reduce the traffic burden before the Olympic Games.
China’s Education Ministry, however, stressed that the examination timetable for next year won’t be changed, but did say that the time could change in the coming years. In fact, the adjustment will lead to further troubles in re-organizing teaching plans. What is more, the suggestion to hold the exam during weekends was not welcomed in Western China, where they don’t have the same traffic problems that many large Chinese cities are dealing with at the moment.
This year marks the 30th anniversary（周年）of the restoration（恢复） of “gaokao”. Chinese universities were shut down from 1966 to 1976, due to the political disaster of the Cultural Revolution （文化大革命）. In the past 30 years, 36 million students have been admitted into universities, colleges, and vocational and technical schools.

11. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. While “gaokao” is being held, the weather is terrible in most provinces.
B. In the future, it is possible that the exam will be moved to April.
C. A great many young people have changed their fate thanks to the exam.
D. All the Chinese people don’t agree with the exam adjustment.
12. The important exam has lasted .
A. thirty years
B. more than thirty years
C. less than fifty years
D. over fifty years

Scientists have proven （证明） that drinking tea can help people lose weight. During a five-year study, researchers discovered five new genes related to obesity（肥胖）. However, they also found that something in tea ―especially Oolong tea ―can help obese people battle the obesity.
The focus of the study was to help address growing obesity among Chinese children, especially in cities. The research shows that overeating is not the only cause. “Diet and lifestyle are only the external （外部的） reasons,” said Guo Xirong, a specialist. “The genetic conditions of the people could cause children and teenagers to become overweight.” However, Guo admits there is no magic bullet for treating childhood obesity. But he said a healthier diet and lifestyle will help.
Children tend to become obese later in life before they are born if their mothers eat too much and have a dramatic increase in weight. Compared to bottle-fed babies, breastfed （母乳喂养） babies are less likely to become obese later in their life because breast milk is limited. Bottle-fed babies are easy to develop a larger appetite（胃口） because they are fed each time they cry.
Chinese have long believed in the link between tea drinking and weight loss but many health experts in the West have been doubting it. Guo particularly recommends Oolong tea, one of the less-known teas in the West. Of the total amount of tea produced and consumed in the world, 78 percent is black, 20 percent is green, and less than 2 percent is Oolong tea.
Black tea is consumed mainly in Western countries, the Middle East and South Asia while green tea is drunk mainly in China, Japan and a few countries in North Africa. The production and drinking of Oolong tea are mainly limited to southeastern China.
13. Why do some Chinese children become obese easily?
A. Because they have much chance to eat too much food.
B. Because their mothers had a good appetite before they were born.
C. Because it is probable that they were bottle-fed babies.
D. Because both some genes and eating habits contribute to the result.
14. According to the passage, how do obese people lose weight?
A. Babies had better not be bottle-fed.
B. Their mothers should keep their bodies fit.
C. Drinking Oolong tea may help a lot.
D. Such people should take much exercise.
15. As a businessman, in which country will you be successful by trading green tea?
A. Egypt. B. Canada.
C. Singapore. D. Korea.
16. If there is some more information added to the passage, what will it be about?
A. Southeastern China. B. Black tea.
C. Green tea. D. Oolong tea.

The traditional idea of the bride moving in with the bridegroom’s parents seems to be on the wane (逐渐衰落). Now，in Shanghai, the opposite seems just as likely.
Before moving into his wife’s family home earlier this year, Li Feng had felt worried about what life with his in-laws would bring. “My wife and her parents insisted that living together be a better option. It is certainly more convenient, and it helps save money.” Now Li says he is living a happy life with his wife and the two elders , and feels far less pressured to buy a new house.
Like Li, more and more newlywed couples in Shanghai have accepted the idea of life with the parents of the bride, an idea which seems contrary with the past.
“It still sounds a bit strange when young people get married but continue to live with their parents, especially with their wife’s parents.” said Li. But the young modern generation of Shanghai seems to be slowly abandoning this traditional viewpoint.
For some people, however, life with the parents seems more like a smart business than a question of choice.
But it’s not only the young who are open to this new idea. Many elders in Shanghai also encourage their married children to remain with them.
17. The underlined phrase “the opposite” in Paragraph 1 means “ ”.
A. parents moving in with the young couple
B. the young couple living separately from the parents
C. the husband moving in with the wife’s parents
D. the wife moving in with the husband’s parents
18. Which of the following can best show the advantages of living with the girl’s parents?
A. It’s more convenient.
B. It helps save money.
C. For some it seems more like a smart business than a question of choice.
D. All the above.
19. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Young couples tend to live with parents
B. Parents tend to live with young couples
C. Husbands tend to live with wives’ parents
D. Husbands feel at home with wives’ parents
20. If the writer goes on writing the passage, what will be the main idea of the next paragraph?
A. Some young couples don’t like to live with the elders.
B. In the past, many elders didn’t like young couples to live with them.
C. Why many elders would like young couples to live with them.
D. Now, more and more elders would like young couples to live with them.

Ireland is the land of artists and scholars. But it still feels bad about letting its greatest literary names like Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw leave the country.
So, for the past 30 years, the world’s smallest cultural super-power has comforted itself with a unique act: Its writers, artists and musicians don’t have to pay tax. Now, however, the government is working in secret to see whether it should stop the tax exemption（免税）. The reason is that the public are angry at tax-avoiding British writers and pop stars using the rule to get rich.
The exemption was created in 1969 by Charles Haughey, then finance minister. All income from “creative” work such as a novel, a play or a song would be exempt from tax, Haughey decided. Haughey said his plan was to stop Irish artists from leaving the country.
It started in 1970 and now exempts artists, writers and singers from paying tax on money earned from original works. But the tax exemption, which cost the Irish Government 37 million euros in 2001, has caused many British artists to move to the country.
Frederick Forsyth, author of “The Day of the Jackal” moved in the 1970s. The pop band Def Leppard and the singer Lisa Stansfield later moved there as well. This year’s biggest argument arose with the arrival of the millionaire Scottish author of “Trainspotting”, Irvine Welsh. He was described by Irish people as greedy for coming just to avoid paying taxes.
“I didn’t move here for tax reasons, but as a writer I would use it. I know the system there is to keep big bands like U2 based in the country instead of losing them to the US,” Welsh said.
While some show support for stopping the rule, others still think it is necessary. About 80 percent of tax-exempt writers and artists earn less than 50,000 euros a year and still need to be supported.
21. Tax exemption was originally created in order to .
A. encourage artists to create
B. promote the importance of literary
C. attract famous artists to settle
D. prevent artists leaving the country
22. The passage is mainly about .
A. Ireland’s cultural background
B. tax exemption
C. artists’ fame
D. tax reform
23. The public the phenomenon that British writers and pop stars needn’t pay taxes.
A. are for B. are strongly against
C. have neglected D. laugh at
24. It can be inferred that .
A. Ireland values artists

Every year, residents of Kunming, Yunnan Province welcome thousands of black-headed gulls with food and happy laughter. The lovely white birds fly from Siberia to stay in the Dianchi area of the city in winter. But this year the white angels are no longer lovely in locals’ eyes, due to their fear of bird flu.
Although scientists have not found the deadly virus in the birds, few people will dare to risk their lives to feed the birds this year. Across the world, wild migratory birds seem to have become number-one public enemy. Since the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus was discovered not only in Asia but also as far away as Europe and Africa, migratory birds were regarded as the carriers. Geographically speaking, the spread of bird flu appears to be following the migratory routes of wild birds. Bird flu is a common disease among wild migratory birds. But the virus may change itself when transferred to humans and animals.
Since the World Health Organization warned last month that migratory birds could carry the deadly H5N1 virus that causes bird flu, many countries, like China, have started tracking migratory birds and cleaning up poultry markets. China also didn’t allow all pigeon races last week.
Scientists said that the migratory routes of wild birds are often far away from big cities. The risk of transferring the virus directly from wild birds to humans is very low. Scientists also warned that wild birds are shy creatures. They see you coming and fly away at once. But if a wild bird becomes easy to approach, people should be careful that it may be sick.
There are already three areas hit by bird flu in the provinces of Hunan and Anhui and the northern region of Inner Mongolia, areas all on the migratory routes of wild birds. In the past two weeks China has reported three outbreaks of the H5N1 virus that killed 3,800 chicken, ducks and geese.
25. By mentioning black-headed gulls, the author wants to show .
A .they have been lovely in people’s eyes
B. their fates are full of danger
C. people are alert these days
D. local people begin to hurt the birds
26. In which of the following continents hasn’t H5N1 bird flu been found?
A. Asia. B. Africa.
C. Europe. D. America.
27. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. China does better in controlling bird flu than other countries
B. China pays great attention to the prevention of the outbreak of bird flu
C. people in big cities have no chance to catch bird flu
D. people must kill wild birds if they approach people
28. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Migrating birds may spread flu
B. Bird flu hits Asia
C. Bird flu might break out in winter
D. Birds start migration

Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between race and rates of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.
Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2,000 people in the study developed lung cancer.
Researchers say genetics might help explain the racial and ethnic (民族的) differences. There could be differences in how people’s bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.
African-Americans and Latinos in the study reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites were the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.
Scientists know that some diseases affect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted (针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency （服务机构） called it “a step toward the promise of personalized medicine.”
29. From the passage, researchers agree that it is that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer.
A. the larger amount of smoking than white people
B. the living style or habit of the blacks to form
C. the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs
D. the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke
30. People in the new study are made up of .
A. heavy smokers in America
B. the black and white people
C. the Asians and Hawaiians
D. smokers and non-smokers
31. The production of BiDil is referred to in the last paragraph in order to .
A. explain different races reaction to some diseases differently
B. tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers
C. show a big step people have taken in the medicine area
D. support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers
32. According to the author, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The way of smoking may increase the risk of lung cancer.
B. Race has nothing to do with the risk of having a lung cancer.
C. The research was started by New England Journal of Medicine.
D. The risk of lung cancer lies in how much a person smokes.

“What are you bringing in to show and tell tomorrow?” Alex asked Sam as they walked onto the school playground.
“It’s a secret. A special secret,” Sam answered. “You can tell me,” Alex said. “I’m your best friend!”
“We-l-l-l,” Sam said. “Promise you won’t tell anybody?” “Sure,” Alex agreed.
Just then the bell rang. As they lined up in front of the classroom, Sam whispered his secret to Alex.
“What?” Alex whispered back, “Did you say your aunt’s farm?”
“No talking!” Their teacher warned.
“That’s right,” Sam whispered.
Now Alex was excited. This was too cool. What would it hurt to tell just one person?
“Listen, Jake,” Alex said during the break. “Sam has a secret, but I can tell you if you promise not to tell anybody else.” “OK,” Jake answered.
“Sam’s bringing in his aunt’s farm to show and tell tomorrow!”
But on the way home from school, he was bursting to tell Garth. And then Garth told Kenny.
The next morning the four boys arrived at school dressed like cowboys. Sam came toward them carrying a large box under his arm.

“What are you talking about?” Sam scratched (挠) his head.
“Alex said you were bringing in your aunt’s farm to show.” Jake told him.
“So?” Kenny asked. “Where are the animals?”
“I never said, ‘My aunt’s farm.’ I said, ‘My ants’ farm!’” Sam said. He pulled a container out of the box. “Look inside. You can see how the ants build roads and tunnels and how they make their homes and take care of the baby ants.”

Earl Guilford started working when he was 15 years old. For the first time in 64 years, he will be without a job. He’s had many jobs over the years, from painting cars to packaging meats. His time at the post office in Washington has lasted 28 years. Guilford has been through three different postmasters, and he retired as a full-time maintenance worker around 1998. But Guilford couldn’t stay out of work for long. He was in the process of becoming a school-bus driver when the post office asked him to come back as a part-time custodian(看守人). “I was over there taking the test when they called me,” he said.
Guilford has made quite an impression around the post office with his gentle attitude and friendly smile. Leverne Buck has worked with “Mr. Earl”, as some affectionately call Guilford, since 1993. Buck said， “He has a lot of wisdom, is always optimistic and never says anything negative about other people, especially in the workplace.” Buck said Guilford could tell when he was stressed and would pass by and say, “Don’t let it worry you,” or would make a quick joke to make him smile. He described his friendships with fellow employees as close. “You know the kind of people you can get along with and can say anything and it’s OK,” he said.
When Guilford agreed to return to the post office, he was under a year-by-year contract. “They are not going to renew his contract, and they’ve already got somebody else,” Buck said, adding the decision not to keep Guilford is unfortunate but is mainly because of concern for his health. Guilford isn’t happy about leaving his post-office family, and that family is unhappy to see him go. “I planned on retiring this year, and I’ll go how the Lord leads me,” Guilford said.
He wants to spend time with his wife, Ruth, and visit people who are living alone to “let them know somebody’s thinking about them”. “I will miss the people I work with and the people I see coming and going,” he said. Even though he didn’t know all of them by name, it was his routine to greet people as they entered the post office. “You always have time for ‘Good morning,’” he said.
5. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. It’s Never Too Old to Learn

A. they wish Guilford to spend more time with his wife
B. Guilford is tired of doing the job
C. his family is unhappy to see him go
D. his advanced age prevents him from working again
7. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.

B. Guilford keeps in tight touch with his fellow employees
C. people in the post office help and love each other

With 14,000 laborers working day and night, the first of Dubai’s three palm-shaped islands is finally about to get its first residents. The Palm Jumeirah（珠美拉棕榈岛屿群）, a 12-square-mile island group, is part of what’s regarded as the largest land-cultivation project in the world, the product of five years of carrying of millions of tons of sand and rock.
On Nov. 30, the palm will open to some 4,000 residents, said Issam Kazim, a spokesman for Dubai’s state-owned developer Nakheel. When fully complete by 2010, the Palm Jumeirah will be an offshore city, with some 60,000 residents and at least 50,000 workers in 32 hotels and dozens of shops and attractions, Nakheel said.
Observers say they are surprised that the young developer has been able to build such a complex project more or less as planned, despite with several difficulties that delayed the opening from last year. “The project has captured people’s imagination,” said Colin Foreman of the Middle East Economic Digest. “Nothing like it has been done anywhere else in the world.”
Nakheel’s island projects, the world’s largest land cultivation effort, are reshaping Dubai’s coast. The $14 billion project is a key part of this city’s ambitions to compete with Singapore and Hong Kong as a business center, and be better than Las Vegas as a leisure capital. The rapid pace of development has transformed Dubai from a sleepy trading and pearl-diving village in the 1950s to a big city of 1.5 million.
The island’s construction has not all been smooth, and most buyers were supposed to get keys to their island homes a year ago. Some of the new land sank and Nakheel needed an extra year to add more and pack it with land compactors（压土机）. Those moving onto the Palm Jumeirah this year will have to live with construction for another three years, and then a large number of tourists. Most of the owners are foreigners, with Britons making up the largest group.
9. What’s probably the best title for the passage?
A. The Process from a Pearl-diving Village to a Big City
B. The World’s Largest Land-cultivation Project
C. Dubai’s Man-made Island Nears Completion
D. The Palm Jumeirah
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The island’s construction goes smoothly.
B. It’s hard for the young developer to build the complex project as planned.
C. Dubai is sure to do better than Singapore and Hong Kong as a business centre.
D. The rapid pace of development of Dubai is beyond people’s imagination.
11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.
A. the island’s construction has attracted a large number of tourists
B. a lot of Englishmen are rushing to buy the real estate of the island
C. the construction made some of the new land sink
D. those people moving onto the palm Jumeirah have a strong appeal for the tourists
12. The passage wants to tell us that ______.
A. wisdom and determination works wonder
B. whatever you do, do it well
C. the largest land-cultivation project is wonderful
D. the young developer Nakheel

NEW YORK(Reuters)―Two of America’s top authors, John Irving and Stephen King, made a plea to J.K. Rowling on Tuesday not to kill Harry Potter in the final book of the series, but Rowling made no promises.
“My fingers are crossed for Harry,” Irving said at a joint news conference before a charity reading by the three writers at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The author of “The World According to Garp” and other bestsellers said he and King felt like “warm-up bands” for Rowling, who is working on the seventh and last book in the Harry Potter series, and who has said two characters will die. King, who shot to fame in 1974 with “Carrie”, said he had confidence that Rowling would be “fair” to her hero.
Rowling, a Briton whose books have sold 300 million copies worldwide according to her publishers, said she was well into the process of writing the final book. “I feel quite liberated,” she said. “I can end the story now and it’s fun in a way because finally I’ve reached my decision, and I think some people will hate it and some people will love it, but that’s how it should be.” “We’re working toward the end I always planned but a couple of characters I expected to survive have died and one character got a reprieve（死刑撤销）,” she said, refusing to explain.
Asked about the wisdom of killing off fictional characters, Rowling said，“I understand why an author would kill a character from the point of view of not allowing others to continue writing after the original author is dead,” leaving the door open to the worst fears of some fans―that Harry could die.
“When fans accuse me of sadism, which doesn’t happen that often, I feel I’m toughening them up to go on and read John and Stephen’s books,” she said. “I think they’ve got to be toughened up somehow. It’s a cruel literary world out there.”
13. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means _____.
A. I am praying for Harry
B. I demand Harry go on alone
C. I am happy about Harry
D. I take the side of Harry
14. Rowling will set the plot of Harry Potter’s death in the final book of series because ____.
A. it’s fun for her to end the story in such a way
B. she wishes others not to continue writing Harry Potter after her death
C. she is working toward the end she always planned
D. she will lead readers to experience the cruel literary
15. What do you know about Rowling?
A. She is worldly wise and plays safe.
B. She is good at the long-term planning.
C. She sticks to her way whatever others say.
D. she pays no attention to her sadism.
16. What can we learn from the end of the story?
A. Readers are happy that Rowling won’t kill Harry Potter in her final book.
B. Rowling persuades her readers to read more other bestsellers.
C. More and more fans accuse her of sadism.
D. The death of Harry Potter gets a reprieve.

For most people, filmmaking calls up an image of famous directors like Steven Spielburg, backed by big Hollywood studios with multi-million dollars budgets. But digital filmmaking in the form of a portable digital video camera, special effects opera and at-home editing means that anyone can be a filmmaker.
Bart Cheever (producer): Digital technology is completely rewriting the way films are made. It’s letting a lot of people outside the traditional Hollywood film studio system make film for the first time. We’re going to see a lot of new stories come out in a lot of new perspectives that have never been seen before.
Halfden Hussey: What this is doing is freezing up(使不能正常运转) film-makers on lower budgets to do work that they could never have done before. So these innovations are turning the world of film in a new direction.
Lynn Herschmann (Producer & Director): Film?鄄makers can take advantage of technology as it’s being invented, that is the technology of our time. It is what Fresco painting was to the Renaissance.
A thirty-minute digital videocassette costs about twenty dollars. Now shooting that same thirty minutes on a sixteen-millimeter film, developing it, and then transferring it to video for editing cost a hundred times more. With prices ranging from one to four thousand dollars, digital video cameras, like this Sony VX1000, are giving independent filmmakers high quality images at low budget prices.
Halfden Hussey: A lot of creative forces in this world do not have the resources of a studio and now with the digital camera, they can do work that can compete with the studio.
Rodney Asher(Filmmaker & FX Artist): An important part of trying to make a documentary is capturing the world as it is without interference(干扰) from you, and a little DV camera can let you do that.
17. What do you suppose the word “innovations” in Paragraph 3 means?
A. Ideas. B. Inventions.
C. Changes. D. Improvements.
18. There are several reasons why digital filmmaking can greatly reduce the budgets EXCEPT that _____.
A. the prices of digital video cameras are relatively low so that independent filmmakers can afford it
B. shooting with a sixteen-millimeter film is a hundred times more than using a digital video cassette
C. digital filmmaking does not need much equip?鄄ment and can be edited at home
D. it makes it possible to have a lot of new stories come out in many new ways
19. What does Lynn Herschmann believe the invention of digital technology means to our time?
A. It can help the maker of a documentary capture the world without interfering it.
B. It means that anyone can become a filmmaker if he has his own digital camera.
C. It is a revolutionary invention as what Fresco painting was to the Renaissance.
D. It means that people can see a lot of new stories which are not made in Hollywood.
20. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. films made by digital cameras will replace traditional ones
B. making films with digital cameras will become more popular
C. Hollywood films which cost a lot of money are not good films
D. the cost of Hollywood films will be greatly reduced in the future

We all know that our eyes are sometimes bigger than our stomach when it comes to food intake and now a new study reveals that your stomach really does need a while to make up its mind that it is full.
The concept that eating slower limits appetite has been, though not seriously, discussed for ages, but there was never any scientific proof―now there is.
“It started in about 1972 as a supposition that eating slowly would allow the body time for the development of satiety (fullness) and we would eat less,” said Kathleen Melanson, a researcher from the University of Rhode Island. “Since then we’ve heard it everywhere and it has become common knowledge. But no studies had been conducted to prove it.”
In the study 30 college-aged-women were given large plates of pasta and told to eat as much as they wished.
When asked to eat quickly, they consumed 646 calories in nine minutes. But when they were told to slow down and chew the food 15 to 20 times, their calorie consumption was about 579 calories in 29 minutes.
“Satiety signals clearly need time to develop,” Melanson said. “Not only did the women take in fewer calories when they ate more slowly, they had a greater feeling of satiety at meal completion and 60 minutes afterwards, which strongly suggests benefits to eating more slowly.”
The women who ate slowly also reported enjoying their meals more.
The results were reported at the annual meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity in October.
21. By “...our eyes are sometimes bigger than our stomach when it comes to food intake”, the author means “______”.
A. sometimes our eyes can be very big when we are eating
B. at times we are surprised at good food
C. sometimes we can eat more than we can find

The favors we do for friends and others have complicated and various results. But the significance of the little acts of kindness we do or refuse to do may not be known until many years in the future. Because we cannot see the consequences of our actions when we carry them out, we tend to ignore them. We may think our small acts of kindness make very little difference and are unimportant. However, do not belittle your charity. A jug fills drop by drop.
Constantly being asked to do favors is not a burden, but a sign that one has many friends. And it is an opportunity to gain new experiences as well as gain the wisdom to decide which favors to grant and which to turn down. Our little acts of kindness can pay big dividends to our friends. For example, by spending ten minutes with a friend to share my knowledge of cameras, I may save him hours of work as he decides which camera to buy. Similarly, he may recommend to me a book to read, a web site to visit, or a piece of software to try. So, the time we spend with others adds value to the time we spend with ourselves. This is not to suggest, however, that we should willingly grant favors because we will eventually receive benefits. No, the biggest favor we can do for ourselves is to grant favors to others with no expectation or hope of any reward. For by doing so, we can make the world a favorable place for all by blessing it with the favors we do as we pass by.
29. According to the author, the favours we do ______.
A. might be very helpful even though we don’t know the value of them
B. are always rewarding and fruitful
C. should be granted without exceptions or reward
D. should be mutual and interactive
30. By the saying “A jug fills drop by drop”, the author wants to tell us that ______.
A. one should do favours with perseverance
B. the more good deeds, the better
C. good deeds are like drops of water
D. small favours can be accumulated to big charities
31. Which of the following statements is NOT true accordingly?
A. Rewarding favours are incidental.
B. Not all favours we do are traceable.
C. No favour should be turned down.
D. Small acts of kindness might pay big dividends to others.
32. This passage is meant to ______.
A. make clear to people the value of friendship
B. call on people to help others
C. distinguish favours of various kinds
D. enable people to tell right favours from wrong ones
