A new report says the number of foreign students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by three percent last year. This has been the first obvious increase since 2001. American schools last fall had 583,000 foreign students. The record is 586,000. That was set in 2002 after many years of gains. But after that the numbers fell. The terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001 led to more visa (签证) requirements. Now stronger efforts are being made to get more foreign students to study in the United States. China remained in second place in front of South Korea but behind India, which sent almost 84,000 students last fall. The number of Japanese fell sharply by nine percent, although it remained in fourth place. There were three percent drops from Indonesia and Kenya, the only African country in the top twenty last year. But there were obvious increases from Saudi Arabia, Nepal and Vietnam. The number of Saudi students more than doubled, rising to nearly eight thousand. For a sixth year, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles had the most foreign students. Columbia University in New York was second. Other schools in the top five were New York University, the University of Illinois and Purdue University. Unlike American students in other countries, who often choose history and language study, the leading area of study in the USA was business and management. Second was engineering. The new report also says more than 220,000 Americans studied in other countries. That was during the 2005-2006 school year. It was a record number, and an increase of eight and a half percent from the year before. But only five percent of them stayed for a full year. 1.After 2002, the number of foreign students in the USA fell mainly because ____ .

“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!” Annabel, my close friend, stunned（使…震惊）me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting（代替）. “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!” My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan. In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.” “How many did you have on your list?” I asked. “Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ ” My jaw dropped，“What did you do?” “Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ ” “And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ ” My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too! God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children. 1.What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage? A．The writer is a good athlete. B．The writer scolds herself too much. C．She is encouraging the writer D．A gold medal is not a big deal. 2.What does the writer intends to tell us through the second and third paragraphs? A．She has low self-esteem over some small things. B．She often makes serious mistakes in daily life. C．She is a third-grade teacher. D．She cares too much about her appearance. 3.We can infer that the underlined word “slob” might be _____. A．something untidy B．someone dangerous C．something dirty D．someone lazy 4.What can we learn about Annabel? A．She used to put herself down a lot. B．She often goes to church. C．She was in charge of a workshop. D．She used to be too shy to talk to others. 5.What does the writer mean by the last sentence of the passage? A．She is ready to turn to God for help. B．She will be kind to all children. C．She won’t insult(侮辱) herself as well as others. D．She is willing to be a child of God.

阅读下面短文并回答问题（请注意问题后的词数要求 ） [1] You can never get to peace and security without first knowing all of the good things in your life. So you need to learn how to appreciate your life and here are some simple steps you can take to achieve this goal. Work hard to have an attitude of gratitude. [2] As you learn to appreciate the small things in your life, you’ll find a sense of happiness. You’ll also find it easier to appreciate the big things in your life, which will help you appreciate your life as a whole. [3] To begin with, find five things to be grateful for each day. Call this your “Gratitude List,” and write it down before bedtime. At first, to find even just five things to be grateful for. That’s okay. You won’t learn how to appreciate your life over night, just like you didn’t become dissatisfied over night either. List small things, and go from there. The longer you keep a “Gratitude List,” the easier it will be to find things to put on it. Soon you’ll be able to list more things than you thought! Learn to appreciate others. [4] Take note when someone does something nice for you. If anyone does a job that’s normally yours, stop and thank them sincerely. Value the moment, and look for other opportunities to find the good in others. This will help you appreciate the people around you, who are also part of your life. Appreciate yourself. [5] This can be extremely hard, especially with all the criticism we hear from others. Appreciation also includes respect and you can’t appreciate or truly enjoy your life if you don’t respect yourself . So, think of one small thing you can appreciate about yourself every day, and take the time to really enjoy it. Be thankful for it, and know you’re learning how to really appreciate your life. [6] It takes 30 fays of doing something before it becomes a habit. But after this, keeping a “Gratitude List,” appreciating others, and admiring yourself will become second nature to you. In no time, you’ll realize you know how to appreciate your life. 1.What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 10 words)

The Convention(公约)concerning the protection of world cultural and natural heritage appeared from a need to call for international cooperation to protect the world's natural and scenic areas and historic sites for present and the future generations. In 1959 there was international concern over the flooding of the Abu Simbel temples, a treasure of ancient Egyptian civilization, to build the Aswan High Dam in Egypt. Through an international campaign by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) on the request of Egypt and Sudan, resources were found to move the temples to a new site. In 1965,a conference at the White House in Washington DC, USA called for a "World Heritage Trust" and international cooperation to protect "the world's superb natural and scenic areas and historic sites for the present and the future". In 1969, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) developed similar proposals for its members .Therefore, the Convention was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO in 1972. By regarding heritage as both cultural and natural, the Convention reminds us of the ways in which people interact with nature , and of the basic need to keep the balance between the two. The Convention identifies the natural or cultural sites on the World Heritage List, and sets out their role in protecting them .Although the emphasis has been on sites and natural features of "outstanding universal value", each country promises not only to conserve the World Heritage sites situated in its country, but also to protect and conserve its cultural and natural heritage. There is also a "List of World Heritage in Danger" which are sites threatened by serious and specific dangers caused by changes in the use or ownership of the land , wars or natural disasters. 1.What is the purpose of the World Heritage Convention according to the passage? A．To call for international cooperation to help poor people. B．To protect the world's natural and cultural heritage. C．To save the natural resouces for next generation in the world. D．To raise money for the endangered heritage in the world. 2.What can we infer from the second paragraph in the passage? A．The history of the UNESCO is very long. B．The World Heritage Convention is not accepted by people. C．The Abu Simbel temples in Egypt are moved to a new site. D．The adoption of the World Heritage Convention takes al long time. 3.The last two paragraphs mainly tell us __________. A．the detailed purpose of the World Heritage Convention B．how to make a list of world heritage in danger C．how to make a world heritage list D．the importance of making two lists 4.Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined word "conserve"?

Jaguar(美洲虎) was very rare. It was said that there less than 20 jaguars in the world, one of which was living in the national zoo of Peru. In order to help this jaguar, Peruvians set up a zoo for it, where there were sheep and deer for the jaguar to eat. However, strange enough, no one had ever seen the jaguar hunt the deer and sheep. What they could see was its lying in its cave, sleeping and eating the meat provided by the zoo keepers. At first, people thought that the jaguar felt too lonely, so they found a female tiger to accompany it. However, it did not make too much sense. The jaguar just sometimes went out of its cave with its “girlfriend” for a while before it came back to its house again' It is normal for the jaguar to be lazy here. Tiger is the king of forest but you simply put some small animals around him. That is why the jaguar shows no interest in going out' a visitor said. So people put five wolves into the jaguar's zoo. Since then, the jaguar did not go back to its cave any more . It either stands on top of the hill yelling or runs up and down the hill without sleeping all day long . Actually, one creature without any rivals is a lifeless creature. If a man lives without rivals, he is likely to be satisfied with the present and will not fight for the better. He will hold back before all difficulties . Hard environment tends to make successful people . Therefore, we need some rivals to push us to go ahead in all difficulties and competitions in our lives. Due to our rivals, we can bring out our potential to the best. Due to our rivals, we will continuously improve our abilities when competing with them! 1.Why did Peruvians set up a zoo for the jaguar? A．To protect this endangered animal. B．To entertain people. C．To satisfy people's curiosity. D．To do some experiments. 2.That the jaguar always lying in its cave leaves people an impression that __________. A．it must be treated badly B．it must be seriously sick C．it must miss the forest D．it needs to be accompanied 3.What happened to the jaguar after it got five wolves around? A．The jaguar remained the same. B．The jaguar became very energetic. C．The jaguar lost his girlfriend. D．The jaguar got mad finally. 4.What does the underlined word "rivals" in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Colleagues. B．Followers. C．Competitors. D．Relatives. 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A．How Jaguars can be protected. B．Family plays an important part. C．Enemies can inspire us to succeed. D．jaguars like to stay with wolves.
