BEIJING—Seven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that they would begin using the same independent exam —besides the national one —to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in 2011. The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University, Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University. Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent exam, according to the joint announcement. “This will help lighten tile students’ load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities,”said the announcement. Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities. China’ s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam. In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students. Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their own exams. Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students’ talents lie. Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams as they often apply for a number of universities. To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010—2020) released in July this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams. 1. If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______. A. only pass the interview. B. only take the national exam. C. only take the independent exam. D. either take the national exam or the take the independent exam. 2. What’s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities? A. It can reduce students’load to take several exams. B. The universities will have the same standard to test students. C. There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers. D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities. 3. If students pass the independent exam,they will ______. A. take the national exam. B. have one or more interview chances. C. be admitted to one of the universities. D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies. 4.What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations? A. Students needn’t take the national exam. B. Students’education cost can be lowered. C. Students abilities and talents can be better found. D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.

US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life. The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado. “This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars,”said Boulder’ s research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters. “The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.” Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta (三角洲). “Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us,” said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry. Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago. The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study. Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life. 1.The size of the lake found on Mars is ______. A. 80 square miles B. 1,500 square miles C. 3.4 billion square miles D. 300 million square miles 2.When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ____. A. hot and wet B. wet and warm C. cold and dry D. cold and wet 3.Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars? A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life. B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there. C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars. D. Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there. 4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era. B. The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years. C. The discovery can’ t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life. D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.

A small town in southwest Britain is banning (禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe. Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead. Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages. Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag ammesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling. The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been “really positive”. “Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker(柳条) baskets to go out shopping anyway, ”Hosking told Sky News Television. The World Watch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world. 1.The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means . A. acceptable B. valuable C. environmentally-friendly D. long-lasting 2.It can be inferred from the passage that . A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags 3.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Environmental Protection B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags C. British Town Banning Plastic Bags D. Effect of Plastic bags on Sea Animals
