Johann Gutenberg, who worked as a goldsmith (金匠), took what had already been discovered, and created a small invention that changed history. He created a machine that allowed him to move small blocks of letters in such a way that written material could be printed and mass-produced. Few people could read before Guttenberg made the invention, but once books became less expensive, more Europeans could read and write.

Block printing existed long before Gutenberg. The Chinese had been using wood blocks to print books as early as 868, but a new set of woodcuts (木刻印版) had to be made for each book. Producing one book was not easy; producing all kinds of books was more difficult.

Writing ink dates from about 2500 BC in Egypt and China. Gutenberg used an oil-based printing ink that would last longer than other inks used in his time. We don’t know much about Gutenberg because he was not famous during his lifetime. He was born in Germany about 1400. In 1448, Gutenberg developed signatures for each number, letter, and punctuation mark (标点符号). He then built the molds (模型) to hold the signatures in place. Gutenberg published the first mass-produced book: a 1,282 page Bible. To this day, more copies of the Bible have been printed than any other book.

Copies of Gutenberg’s invention spread throughout Europe, but the German goldsmith did not get rich from his invention. Some officials denounced the invention of printing because they feared that it would spread bad ideas. By 1500 there were 1,700 printing presses in Europe. The presses had already produced about 20 million volumes (册) of 40,000 different books.

1.What happened after Johann Gutenberg’s invention?

A．People could afford to read books.

B．People became interested in inventing.

C．It was still difficult to print all kinds of books.

D．Punctuation mark began to be used in printing.

2. Compared with block printing in China, Johann Gutenberg’s method _____.

A．was difficult to run

B．needed harder paper

C．used a new kind of ink

D．was put into use earlier

3.The underlined word “denounced” in the last paragraph means _____.

A．fought against B．accepted

C．laughed at D．supported

4.What is the best title for the text?

A．A famous 1,282 page Bible

B．The life of a famous inventor

C．An invention that changed history

D．The development of printing

For generations here in the deepest South, there had been a great taboo（禁忌）: publicly crossing the color line for love. Less than 45 years ago, marriage between blacks and whites was illegal, and it has been forbidden for much of the time since.

So when a great job about an hour’s drive north of the Gulf Coast attracted him, Jeffrey Norwood, a black college basketball coach, had reservations. He was in a serious relationship with a woman who was white and Asian.

“You’re thinking about a life in South Mississippi?” his father said in a skeptical voice, recalling days when a black man could face mortal（致命的） danger just being seen with a woman of another race, regardless of intentions. "Are you sure?"

But on visits to Hattiesburg, the younger Mr. Norwood said he liked what he saw: growing diversity. So he moved, married, and, with his wife, had a baby girl, who was counted on the last census（人口普查） as black, white and Asian. Taylor Rae Norwood, three, is one of thousands of mixed-race children who have made this state home to one of the nation's most rapidly expanding multiracial populations, up 70 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to new data from the Census Bureau.

In the first comprehensive accounting of multiracial Americans since statistics were first collected about them in 2000, reporting from the 2010 census, made public in recent days, shows that the nation’s mixed-race population is growing far more quickly than many researchers had estimated, particularly in the South and parts of the Midwest. That conclusion is based on the bureau’s analysis of 42 states; the data from the remaining eight states will be released soon.

In North Carolina, the mixed-race population doubled. In Georgia, it grew by more than 80 percent, and by nearly as much in Kentucky and Tennessee. In Indiana, Iowa and South Dakota, the multiracial population increased by about 70percent.

Census officials estimated the national multiracial growth rate was about 35 percent since2000 according to the known result, when seven million people ----- 2.4 percent of the population ------ chose more than one race.

1.If a black man married a white woman 50 years ago, the worst result was that _____.

A．he was sentenced to death B．he was considered to be immoral

C．he was criticized by the public D．he was treated as a lawbreaker

2.The underlined word “serious” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “____”.

A．stable B．bad C．mixed D．dangerous

3.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A．Jeffrey Norwood was born in Hattiesburg and grew up there.

B．Taylor Rae Norwood’s mother is a white-Asian.

C．70 percent of the people in Mississippi are multiracial.

D．Mississippi has the largest multiracial population in the US.

4.Which of the following states had the fastest growth rate of mixed-race population?

A．Georgia. B．Tennessee. C．North Carolina. D．South Dakota.

Experts say the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole appears to have fallen to 100C, meaning it is now producing steam, not magma（岩浆）.

But officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely.

Ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month.

Steinunn Jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told the BBC that the volcano was "kind of not active for the moment".

"The history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again," she said.

"There are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption."

'Difficult to say'

Magnus Gudmundsson, of Iceland University, flew over the volcano on Sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallen below 100C.

But he told the AFP news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821-23.

"It stopped and started again several times with different intervals（间隔）, so it's difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline," he said.

He also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring Katla volcano - a much larger mountain - might also erupt.

At the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.

It was the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe since World War II, and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide.

1.What do expert think Eyjafjallajokull is like now?

A．Magma is still coming out

B．The hole appears about 100 degrees C

C．The eruption was not over

D．It is very cold.

2.How do expects know the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole?

A．By taking photos B．By taking its temperature

C．By going close to it D．By driving past it

3.What does Steinunn Jakobsdottir think of Eyjafjallajokull?

A．It will erupt again soon

B．It will be sleeping

C．Another mountain might also erupt

D．It’s uncertain

4.What do you think the main idea is?

A．the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe

B．the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole

C．The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland

D．The earthquake in Iceland

Why do some people flush when they drink alcohol? This effect is a common reaction to alcohol among East Asians. It affects about 36 percent of Japanese, Chinese and Koreans.

For many, even a small amount of alcohol can cause unpleasant effects. Most commonly, their face, neck and sometimes their whole body turn red. People might also feel uncomfortable and sick to their stomach. They might experience a burning sensation, increased heart rate, shortness of breath and headaches.

The cause is a genetic difference that they are born with called an ALDH2 deficiency (缺乏). It prevents their bodies from treating alcohol the way other people do. But the effects might be more serious than just a red face. Researchers warn of a link between this condition and an increased risk of cancer of the esophagus (食道) from drinking alcohol.

The more alcohol people with this deficiency drink, the greater their risk is. In Japan and South Korea, for example, many people have the deficiency but still drink heavily. Researchers found that these drinkers develop a form of esophageal cancer six to ten times more often than those without the deficiency.

Esophageal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers. It can be treated when found early, but once it grows the chances of survival drop sharply. The researchers estimate that at least five hundred forty million people have the deficiency, about eight percent of the world’s population.

Philip Brooks is a researcher at the National Institute in the United States. He says it is important to educate people about the link between the alcohol flushing effect and esophageal cancer. He says doctors should ask East Asian patients about their experiences with facial flushing after drinking alcohol. Those with a history of it should be advised to limit their alcohol use. They should also be warned that cigarette smoking works with the alcohol in a way that further increases the risk of esophageal cancer.

1.The underlined word “flush” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.

A．walk unsteadily B．turn red in the face

C．appear unpleasant D．talk more than usual

2.The second paragraph is mainly about _________.

A．the cause of the effects of alcohol

B．Asians and alcohol

C．the advantages of drinking alcohol

D．unpleasant effects caused by alcohol

3.We can infer from the passage that _________.

A．about 36 percent of Japanese, Chinese and Koreans are heavy drinkers

B．the ALDH2 deficiency may be passed on from generation to generation

C．unpleasant effects occur only when people with this deficiency drink a lot

D．only some East Asians have the ALDH2 deficiency

4.Esophageal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers because _________.

A．it can’t be treated at all

B．it is hard to be discovered early

C．it is hard to cure once it has developed

D．people are usually addicted to alcohol
