Item 1: News from Xi’an

Recently, a retired (退休) professor, Wang Shishao, from Xi’an Jiaotong University became famous because of his bill for retirement life. It’s reported that he has donated (捐献) more than one million yuan so far.

“I have 160, 000 retirement pension (退休金) every year. I live in the nursing home with my wife. We only need to pay for our meals, fruits and some daily use. One thousand yuan a month is quite enough.”

Wang said, “We think it important to train and develop useful people for our country. Every year, we use 500, 000 to set up the scholarship (奖学金). And we also help 12 poor students, five thousand yuan each every year. It’s meaningful to give all my retirement pension to the university.”

Item 2: News from Zhejiang

The dying old man put a note into the doctors’ hands. On the note was “Don’t forget that I’ll donate my body.”

Back to 2008, Yang Hongyi got to know something about body donation in the newspaper, which made him decide to donate his own body after he died. In the beginning, his family didn’t agree with the idea. But he told his children that it would be his great honor to make a contribution to the society after he died. His body could help the development of Chinese medical science. And it might help some patients who couldn’t see, help a person with heart disease. At last, his family understood him and agreed.

“My grandfather made a great decision. It’s really meaningful to donate his body. When I get old, I’ll do the same.” said his granddaughter.

During the summer vacation, my parents and I went to Beijing for a trip. On the first day, we visited the Palace Museum and took many pictures at there. On the second day, we went to climb the Great Wall. It is one of the greatest wonder in the world. We saw lots of tourists and learned much information about it under the help of the tour guide, Miss Yang. At last we went shopping in the city centre of Beijing Wangfujing Street. We bought a lot gifts for our friends.

We enjoyed our trip very much. It was an excited experience and I will never forget it.

According to a new rule of the university, students must prove (证明) themselves in the swimming pool. They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can’t graduate with their bachelor’s degrees (学士学位).

The news made waves in Chinese social media (媒体). Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students’ health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities (内陆城市) to be able to swim.

In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.

Anyway, it is still good news that Chinese students’ health has become more and more valued. Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability?

【1】According to the passage, what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua university?

A. Some papers.B. High scores in exams.

C. Passing a swimming test.D. All of the above.

【2】The underlined phrase “made waves” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________.

A. caused a heated discussionB. spread widely

C. made a requirementD. proved the rule

【3】Why did Tsinghua University once give up the rule?

① Because many students failed the swimming test.

② Because some people disagreed with the rule.

③ Because there were too many students.

④ Because there were not enough swimming pools.

A. ①②B. ②③C. ③④D. ①④

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Different people hold different opinions about a new rule.

B. Tsinghua University has made a new rule of graduation.

C. Chinese students’ health should be more and more valued.

D. There is a new chance to learn another life-saving ability.
