A Beautiful Mind
    A mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then Ran Howard isn’t among most directors. Despite an impressive list of credits, A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining a psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining.
The Oscar winning Russell Crowe has put himself in line for further honors with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia (精神分裂症). A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero，not just because of his academic achievements but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness．
In 1947, Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton. “To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself,” the proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing. His shyness and straight forward approach brought him few friends.
After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nash’s career took off and his reputation as secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia (played by Jennifer Connelly). Things in his life were going well when his talent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military that employed him during the early stage of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nash’s illness develop．
Crowe’s performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite (make something exciting) the film’s passionate love story and Connelly’s wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.
小题1:This passage is most probably ________．
A．a book reviewB．a movie reviewC．a movie posterD．an advertisement
小题2:Which can replace the underlined phrase “hitting on” in the fourth paragraph?
A．coming up withB．coming onC．putting onD．putting up with
小题3: The following statements are true EXCEPT that _______．
A．John Nash did not go mad totally
B．Ran Howard is an outstanding director
C．the stress of the academic work caused Nash’s illness
D．Nash’s concentration on his work and his shyness brought him few friends
小题4: We can infer from the text that _______．
A．John Nash volunteered to serve in the army in spite of his illness
B．John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophrenia
C．Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movie
D．without Alicia, John Nash wouldn’t have recovered from his illness
    Fly into Lisbon and spend a couple of days exploring the capital, which is a terrific bargain. In addition to some worthwhile and affordable dining and lodging(住宿) choices, must-see sights include the Romanesque Lisbon Cathedral, which dates back to the 12th century, and the Moorish Alfama quarter, with its markets and winding cobblestone streets. Take a taxi or bus to the Belém district, where you’ll find the Tower of Belém and the Jerónimos Monastery. After Lisbon, you can take a day trip, by train, to Sintra, a beautiful town nestled(依偎) against the hills about 20 miles west of Lisbon; its castle and palaces, like the Sintra National Palace and the Pena National Palace, are well worth a visit.
To see the countryside, rent a car and drive southeast about 90 minutes to the Alentejo region. Base yourself in Évora, an architectural precious stone. By foot, explore its winding cobblestone streets, fountains and whitewashed houses. Attractions include the Roman Temple of Évora. And make sure to hear some fado, the traditional music of Portugal(葡萄牙).
Alternatively, head north from Lisbon to Oporto, about three hours, and then east to the winemaking region of the Douro River Valley. In his article Portugal Old, New and Undiscovered, Frank Bruni wrote: “All around us mountains undulated(波动) into the distance. The slopes（斜坡）in the foreground were an amazing patchwork of greens, reds, browns and grays, as if some grand hand had fashioned it into a picture on all that nature and agriculture can do.”

B．describe the beauty of Portugal
C．introduce the attractions in Lisbon

Officials in a remote Russian city have drawn up a list of practical tips for locals on how to survive encounters (相遇) with bears, after growing numbers have wandered into the streets in search of food.
Officials in the city of Syktyvkar drew up the guidelines to guide the local people, after several bears were caught sight of in the city, going hungry after a heat wave shriveled their usual diet of nuts and berries.
The guide warns that city people there should stay calm and stand still if they meet with a bear. “Speak to the bear in a firm voice” and “Don’t turn your back on it,” it adds. In the worst case, if the bear attacks, the person should also be ready to attack, the guide says. “Shout angrily at it and look it straight in the eye,” the guide advises. “Bears have started coming into the areas where people live more and more often,” the city officials said in a statement. “Any encounter with a bear is unsafe for humans, so our task is to do all we can to prevent such accidents.”
In September, a bear attacked a 25-year-old man in a central street of the city, wounding him in the neck before he managed to run away, police said. “Three or four people who met with brown bears have been recorded recently,” the head of the hunting department in the regional agriculture organization, Alexander said.
Officials have asked police to patrol (巡逻) streets close to wooded areas in the evenings.
Syktyvkar is the regional capital of the remote Komi region in northwest Russia. Its population is just over 230,000.
小题1: The city issued the guidelines to help the local people to _____.
A．avoid bear encountersB．survive bear encounters
C．get along well with bearsD．drive hungry bears away
小题2: The underlined word “shriveled” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A．piled up B．saved up C．kept upD．dried up
小题3: What can be inferred from Alexander’s words?
A．Bears have been seen frequently recently.
B．Bears like to wander around schools.
C．Brown bears are usually very fierce.
D．Too many bears have disappeared.
小题4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Bears are short of food worldwide
B．Ways to got along well with bears
C．Tips are issued on bear encounters
D．Bears have started coming into cities
Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media web site has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn't seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for him to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all.
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I'm pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other. But he'll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I'm confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That's normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
Every day, the masterminds of Web 2. 0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a crutch. Some things shouldn't be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.
小题1:According to Paragraph l, the web site is famous because _______.
A．it has an interesting name of “Facebook”
B．it helps people get in touch with old friends
C．it can send people a greeting of some kind
D．it reminds people of events in the past
小题2:From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer _______.
A．would write to the friend quite often
B．asked the friend to e-mail him
C．did get some information about the friend
D．would keep in touch with the friend forever
小题3: Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．There are 35 people in the author's list of friends right now.
B．The author communicates with all the 35 friends by e-mails.
C．The list of 35 friends doesn't include the old e-mail addresses.
D．It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count.
小题4:What does the author think of the convenience of communicating on line?
A．The technology could not keep true friendship forever.
B．The social web site of Facebook means nothing at all.
C．There will be no ways of making real friends on line.
D．People will not lose friends with the help of the Facebook.
Beijing has started a battle to get rid of "Chinglish" (Chinese English). The "Language Mandarins" of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China's modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008.
A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang'an Street) ,for example, advises: "To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery Are Very Crafty", a warning that the sidewalk was slippery(滑). Another sign in a Beijing park reads: "Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk. "
Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said," Linguistic perfection (语言美) is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city."
However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language. "The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes," explained one Hong Kong linguist on an Internet website.
So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with "Keep this candle out of children" and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat—which means, "Please don't place it in dusty play."
If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.
小题1:The underlined word "obliterated" refers to           .
A．removedB．exploited
C．translatedD．beautified
小题2:From the passage, we know that           .
A．everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language
B．all the people don't share the disdain for the mixed language
C．Chinglish usually communicates in many cases
D．several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinghsh phrases
小题3:We can infer that the English-language version of newspapers           .
A．should be in duty to teach normal English
B．should report the above battle
C．should be paid more attention to
D．should collect more Chinglish phrases
小题4:Which of the following signs is Chinglish?
A．Watch your step. Slippery sidewalk.B．Keep off the grass, please.C．Tourists do not enter.D．No smoking, please.
In the decade（十年）of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem．We humans are destroying the world around us．We must learn to protect them, or life will be very bad for our children and grandchildren．
There are several major aspects to this problem．
Population
Most problems of the environment come from population growth．In 1700 there were 635 million people in the world; in 1900 there were 1．6 billion; in 1950, 2．5 billion; and in 1980, 4．4 billion．In the year 2010 there will be 7．3 billion．More people need more water, more food, more wood, and more petroleum．
Distribution
Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone, but some countries have a lot of water and some have only a little．Some areas get all rain during one season．The rest of the year is dry．
Petroleum
We are using up the world’s petroleum．We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter．Farmers use petrochemicals to make the soil rich．They use them to kill insects on those plants．These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there．Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year．Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it．Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other countries．
Poverty
Poor farmers use the same land over and over．The land needs a rest so it will be better next year．However, the farmer must have food every year．Poor people cut down trees for firewood．In some areas when the trees are gone, the land becomes desert．However, people need wood to cook their food now．Poor people cannot save the environment for the future．
We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems．However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world．It is a problem for all humans．The people and the nation of the world must work together to protect the world’s resources．No one controls the future, but we all help make it．

A．pollution is getting worse and worse
B．population are increasing greatly
C．we humans are using up all of our natural resources
D．distribution is not reasonable．
小题2:Good distribution means ________．
A．having things in the right place at the right time．
B．cutting down forests and selling them to other countries．
C．building water systems to carry water to farms．
D．conserving our natural resources
小题3:The best title of the passage should be ________
A．The World Being Destroyed
B．A Serious Problem We Should Pay Attention to
C．Aspects That Destroyed Our World
D．Conserving the World’s Natural Resources
