Summer is a busy time for travel. For years, people have wondered whether they are safe from viruses when they travel in small, enclosed areas. They worry about close contact with others who may be sick. The current spread of a swine flu(猪流感) virus has added to these concerns. Recently, the World Health Organization raised its warning about the new H1N1 virus to its highest level. W.H.O. Director-General Margaret Chan declared the sickness a pandemic–a disease that has spread to many nations. Given this information, many people want to know how safe it is to travel? The answers people are getting may seem conflicting. For example, a W.H.O. statement urged nations not to close their borders or limit trade and travel. Director-General Chan said cases are generally not that serious for most people. Still, W.H.O. officials continue to report new cases across the world. In the past, the W.H.O. and experts noted guidance for disease spread on airplanes. The experts said you could get infected only if you sit within two rows of someone who is sick. That would be a distance of up to three meters from the sick person. And this was true only if you sat there for more than eight hours. But a travel-health expert says this guidance may not be helpful for swine flu. He suggests steps that could help prevent getting swine flu on an airplane. His advice includes keeping the airflow over your seat on the “low” position. The doctor says you should point the equipment so the flow of air is just in front of your face. Doctors say anyone with pain, swelling(肿胀) or red skin on a leg during or after a long trip may have a blood clot(凝块). Anyone with such signs should see a doctor as soon as possible. The condition many times can be treated with drugs that thin the blood and stop the clot from moving through the body. 68．The underlined word “conflicting” is closest in meaning to ________. A. in disagreement B. not true C. the same D. unbelievable 69．According to Director-General Chan, the swine flu is ________. A. a disease spread on airplanes B. a very dangerous disease C. a disease requiring limit travel D. a widely spread disease 70．Which of the following is the travel-health expert’s opinion on traveling in an airplane? A. It’s safe to sit within two rows of a sick person. B. It’s helpful to keep air flowing right before your face. C. It’s important for a passenger to stay in a plane within 8 hours. D. It’s certain that a passenger will have a blood clot after a long flight. 71．What would be the best title for the text? A. Stop Traveling in Case of Swine Flu B. Experts’ Arguments Over Swine Flu C. Prevention of Swine Flu on the Trip D. No News Is the Best News
In spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion. And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades. Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films. As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,” Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet. “Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.” A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as “Jonas Brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets. The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies(喜剧). 64．Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry? A. A growing number of people are going to the cinema. B. People are richer with the development of economy. C. More comedies are made than serious films. D. People have to pay more to watch a movie. 65．Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________. A. she tried to escape reality B. she was a crazy movie fan C. she was fond of Disneyland D. she wanted to please her kids 66．According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry? A.17.5% B. $1.7 billion C. $60 D. $25 million 67．The passage is developed mainly by ________. A. presenting the effect and analyzing the causes B. following the order of time C. describing problems and drawing a conclusion D. making comparison of ideas
They’re WILD animals By Ernst-Ulrich Franzen March 11, 2010 (3) Comments The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(栅栏), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears. Comments (3) View Comments 3 Comments Post a Comment 1. TosaLeft - Mar 11, 2010 10:46AM Don’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved? 2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AM It was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well. 3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AM Alcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence? 60．In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________. A. the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the danger B. she didn’t know the bear was a wild animal C. she was somehow influenced by cartoon characters D. she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear 61．TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________. A. may have been drunk B. may be a little stupid C. was addicted to wine D. fed wine to the bear 62．tk421 means a drunk person ________. A. should be forbidden to enter the zoo B. usually gets himself into trouble C. is often fond of making up stories D. usually likes to show himself off 63．What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets? A. Kind. B. Illegal. C. Loving. D. Stupid.

It means getting new school bags and books, and seeing friends again after the summer holiday. My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked me several times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son, 6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year. For the last three years, school was a nightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and there were more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents prevented their children from going to school. One of six children in this country did not attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend school were accompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened to their children. For poor families or those with large families, back to school can be an expensive time. The government gives some help to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books and other items(商品) are given for free. Most of the merchants who sell notebooks and pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. They sit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small table to sell their goods. The bags cost between $10 and $20, while clothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed for my sons and even bought something for myself. I spent about $50 on each of them, including school uniforms. At the end of the day, we returned to our home carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happy and excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be a peaceful one. 56．The author’s children are ________ to go to school. A. eager B. afraid C. unwilling D. surprised 57．The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to ________. A. fantasy B. dream world C. prison D. terrible situation 58．Many children are not going to school mainly because of ________. A. the terrible education system B. security problems and poverty C. parents’ distrust in schools D. the government’s inability 59．As a parent, the author ________. A. is unable to afford his kids’ schooling B. is unwilling to send his kids to school C. hopes his kids have a happy school life D. complains school education costs too much

One year ago, when Fiona turned four, Sam and I decided to home-school her instead of sending her to pre-school．I have always felt that the 0-5 years are an irreplaceable dreamtime．As Fiona is an inventive, observant child, sensitive and funny and great company, it would be a tragedy to find school rubbing away her uniqueness and restricting the building of her personality． I tried not to reproduce school at home．I never had the urge to get a chalk, or a blackboard．I didn’t go and search out a curriculum(课程表)．I felt that my children would learn best if I stayed accessible (易接近的)and stayed out of their way． Every day we worked some, relaxed some, read some and played some, but Fiona did not seem particularly happy here．She lost her temper once in a while． How strange it was that my child who was free from school didn’t want to be free at all．Her friends all went to pre-school．She felt left out of a major part of her friends’ shared lives and experiences．I thought she was not in school for very strong, clear reasons, one of which was that the quality of learning my child did at home would be good, even better than expected． Well, here was a situation I hadn’t expected．When we first decided to do this, Sam and I agreed that we would reassess(再评价)the situation for each child as she turned seven．Meanwhile we would offer her non-school-based opportunities to give her plenty of time with other kids-ballet lessons and swimming classes．She seemed to be enjoying all．But at times she kept asking when she was going to school．Whenever she asked this question, we told her that there would be a family meeting about it when she turned seven．She nearly always responded, “That’s when I’m going to go, then．” A fair amount of her curiosity was about school and I was afraid she was dreaming of going to school before she turned seven． Although the advantages of home-schooling, I think, far outweigh its disadvantages, it is important for me to respect my daughter’s feelings and allow her to direct her own education．If her curiosity leads her to school, isn’t that where she should go? Next week I’ll drive Fiona to her school．I hope that Fiona will learn to read and discover something wonderful to pursue in the world that opens up for her．I hope she will find the school activities provide her with satisfactory kid-time． 1．The writer decided to home-school her daughter, Fiona, because she thought________． A．children aged 0-5 were too young to go to pre-school B．Fiona may not be accepted by schools for her bad temper C．home-schooling was much better than school education D．children at Fiona’s age were too young to have their characters formed by school 2．In home schooling her daughter the writer tried to_______． A．make her home just like a school B．teach with a pointer, a piece of chalk, and a blackboard C．be there when her child wanted her but tried not to stand in her way D．teach according to a curriculum, which was suitable for Fiona 3．What was the writer’s biggest problem in home schooling her daughter? A．She couldn’t decide what to teach and how to teach her daughter B．She was not sure whether her teaching was suitable for Fiona． C．She could not make Fiona give up the thought of going to school． D．She didn’t know how to control Fiona’s temper 4．We can learn from the text that_______． A．Fiona always acted against her mother’s instructions B．it was against Fiona’s wish that she was educated at home C．home-schooling was popular some years ago D．Fiona’s parents would ask her opinions about school education
Chinese press, thousands of tourists and space experts from Japan, Germany, Italy and other countries have gathered at China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwestern Sichuan Province on Tuesday, October 23 to witness the historic moment-the launch of the nation’s first moon orbiter (人造卫星), which is scheduled to take place at 6:05 p.m.on Wednesday． Space center experts were worried earlier in the day when Xichang experienced an unexpected rainfall from about 4:05 a.m．till 7:10 a.m．on Wednesday, but they were able to breathe a sigh of relief when the weather cleared．Both national and local meteorological observatories (气象台)forecast cloudy weather for the launch site on Wednesday afternoon．However they said they believed it would not affect the launch mission, an opinion which was shared by technological staff at the site． Local villagers within a radius of 2.5 km of the launch site and under the trajectory(轨道) of the carrier have been told to move to safe areas two hours prior to the planned launch．Tourists have been charged 800 yuan (105 U.S.dollars) to witness the launch of China’s first lunar satellite．A local travel agency has said that the two observation platforms are capable of holding 2,000, but it is not known how many people paid for the chance． The moon orbiter, Chang’e-1, named after a legendary Chinese goddess who flew to the moon, and the carrier Long March 3A have passed all pre-launch tests． China hopes to become the 17th nation to join the International Space Station (ISS) project, and carried out its first piloted space flight in October 2003, making it only the third country in the world after the Soviet Union and the United States to have sent men into space．In October 2005, China completed its second manned space flight, with two astronauts on board． 1．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．China counting down to launch of its first lunar satellite B．Chang’e-1 lunar satellite and its launch C．Chang’e-1 lunar satellite to conduct 1st orbit transfer D．China hopes to join the International Space Station 2．Space center experts believed _______． A．rainfall would come as soon as possible． B．the cloudy weather wouldn’t affect the mission． C．All the 2,000 tourists should paid 800 yuan each to witness the launch． D．The mission was the third time of China’s manned flight． 3．Please arrange the time order of the following events according to the passage． a．Local villagers have been told to move to safe areas． b．Unexpected shower fell on the early morning of Wednesday． c．The moon mission is scheduled to take place． d．Journalists and tourists gathered at the Satellite Launch Centre． A．b c d a B．a b c d C．d b a c D．c d a b 4．It can be implied from the passage that _____________． A．China has become the 17th country to join the International Space Station B．China will launch its manned spaceship to the moon soon C．China is the third nation to send men into space D．China is pioneering in the space exploration now
We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul, why didn’t you pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad．But when we look back, it’s too late． Why do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words．Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog, ”and that’s being friendly．But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words．Maybe he doesn’t see it himself．But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck． “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another．It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole．But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important．It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night． How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake． 1．This passage is mainly about ______． A．how to interpret what people say B．what to do when you listen to others talking C．why we go wrong with people and how to avoid these mistakes D．why we go wrong with people sometimes 2．According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ______． A．we fail to listen carefully when they talk B．people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say C．people usually state one thing but mean another D．we tend to doubt what our friends say 3．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to______． A．being friendly B．a bit of envy C．lucky dog D．your luck 4．When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is ______． A．notice the way the person is talking B．take a good look at the person talking C．mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes D．know what he really means from his tone and posture
