    Every summer a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the    26        are in seasonal work, mainly connected with wourism and    27         
    The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the     28    of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are  29    jobs in hotels and restaurants.
    But it is not easy now to find work. “    30   you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,” says Althea Ellis, an adviser in     31       for students.
    “If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Pairs, the owner will expect you to speak   32    . British students only have a language     33     for jobs in the USA and Australia.”
        34     enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been     35     .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was      36      home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the      37      they made, and what’s worse, Sarah herself was robbed on her only    38    evening of the entire trip. “ I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“ but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was     39     and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”
    “The troubles is, students expect to have a(n)     40    time of it.” Althea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a    41     .In practice,     42      ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual (临时的) work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. In the other words, you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that     43    you. But you have      44    employment rights. As soon as the holiday season      45     ,they’ll get rid of you.”

    Football is, I suppose, the most popular games in England. One had only to go to one of the important   31  to see this. One can see kinds of people there, shouting and   32  for one side or the other.
    One of the most   33  thing about football in England to a stranger is the __34__ knowledge of the game which even the   35  seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in   36  of the important teams. He   37  photos of them and knows the result of large numbers of matches.

    Most schools in England take   42  seriously—much more seriously than nearly all the schools in other countries,   43 lessons are all important and games are left for one’s own arrangements（安排）. In England, it is believed that   44  is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the   45 ; it also means character training; and one of the   46 ways of training character is by means of games,   47 team games, where the boy has to learn to   48  with others for his team, instead of working just for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its   49 . Football is a good team game and it is good exercise for   50 .

    Thailand’s giant pandas have finally produced a baby. Chiang Mai zoo director Thanapath said eight-year-old female Lin Hui gave birth to a baby panda weighing about 200 grams.
    The pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, the zoo’s star residents(居民), had shown no interest in reproducing the traditional way since they both arrived on a 10-year loan from China in 2003. The zoo workers’ effort of artificial insemination(人工授精) worked. The baby panda will officially belong to China but Thailand will raise it for about 24 months, Thanapath said.
    Thanapath said Lin Hui is very protective of her child and won’t allow any officials to get close. “She holds the baby very carefully.” he said. “She knows how to be a mother even though she has never been one before.” The baby panda appears to be getting along well with its much larger mother.
    The birth appeared on the front pages of many Thai newspapers, which carried photos of the baby which is so tiny that it can be held in the hands of a zoo keeper. Other pictures showed the mother Lin Hui gently holding her baby. Thanapath said, “It is great happiness to see the baby panda.We are so happy that we can breed（繁殖）a panda. Every worker at the zoo is proud and I think every Thai will be proud too.”
    Breeding pandas is a common practice in China, where dozens are born each year. But it is a rare thing outside of the country. Giant pandas are among the world’s most endangered animals. Nearly 1,600 pandas are believed to survive in China and about 180 are being raised in zoos worldwide.
    41. According to the passage, the two pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, ______________.
    A. are regarded as the best residents
    B. arrived in Thailand four years ago
    C. had a baby panda in the traditional way
    D. are very popular in the zoo in Thailand
    42. The baby panda that Lin Hui gave birht to ______________.
    A. will be sent to China in two years        B. is her second baby
    C. weighs about one kilogram             D. will stay in Thailand for ten years
    43. From Paragraph 3 we learn that Lin Hui_______________.
    A. doesn’t know how to protect her baby
    B. allows people to touch her baby
    C. loves her baby very much
    D. always leaves her baby alone
    44. We can infer that Lin Hui’s giving birth_________________.
    A. set a good example to China          B. was hot news in Thailand
    C. was a result of good luck             D. attracted the world’s attention
    45. The fact that breeding pandas is a common practice in China indicates that_________________.
    A. all pandas in the world should live in China
    B. few countries in the world want to breed pandas
    C. pandas won’t be in danger in the near future
    D. China plays a leading role in breeding pandas

    Jee Hock and Meng Kim were very good friends. Jee Hock could not see. He was blind. Meng Kim could not walk. He was lame. They lived in a village near a forest. Everyone in the village was going to a rich man’s dinner on the other side of the forest. Jee Hock and Meng Kim were anxious to attend the dinner too.

    The strong fear of high school math is lost here among the blue light of computer screens and the sounds of typing keyboard．
    A fanfare （喇叭声） plays from a speaker as a student passes a chapter test．Nearby another student is watching a video lecture．Another works out a math problem in her notebook before clicking on a multiple-choice answer on her screen．
    Their teacher at Agoura High School, US, Russell Stephans, sits at the back of the room, watching as scores pop up in real time on his computer grade sheet．One student has passed a level, the data shows; another is retaking a quiz．
    "Whoever thought this up^makes life so much easier," Stephans says．
    This textbook-free classroom is by no means the norm（常态）, but it may be someday．Slowly, but in increasing numbers, schools across the US are replacing the heavy and expensive textbook with its lighter and cheaper cousin: the digital textbook．
    A digital textbook can be downloaded, projected and printed, and can range from simple text to a course filled with multimedia and links to Internet content．Some versions （版本） must be purchased; others are "open source" —free and available online to anyone．
    Some praise the technology as a way to save schools' money, replace outdated books and better engage students．Others say most schools don't have the resources to join in, or they question the quality of open-source content．
    Paper books still hold the highest percentage of the US textbook market, with digital textbooks making up less than 5 percent, according to analyst Kathy Mickey of Simba Information, a market research group．
    But that is changing, as grade schools follow the lead of US liniversities and schools in other countries, including South Korea and Turkey．
    California made the largest embrace （拥抱） of digital textbooks this summer when it approved 10 free high school math and science titles developed by college professors．The state left the choice to use them up to individual schools．
    "The textbooks are outdated, as far as I'm concerned, and there's no reason why our schools should have our students pull around these old-fashioned and heavy and expensive books," Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said this summer．
    But some disagree with the idea that digital textbooks will improve education quality．
    "Keep in mind that with open-source materials, you have to ask: 'Where are they coming from?'" said Jay Diskey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers' school division．"Is it a trusted source? Is it based on real research?"
    Diskey said traditional textbooks offer a comprehensive course, while some open-source texts provide only bits and pieces．"There can be quite a difference of content and accuracy," he said．"In many cases, you get what you pay for．"
    57．The writer's purpose in writing the passage is to       .
    A．explain how to use digital textbooks
    B．predict the future of paper textbooks
    C．describe the current use of digital textbooks and present arguments about it
    D．explain the difference between paper textbooks and digital ones
    58．What is Schwarzenegger's opinion of traditional textbooks?
    A．He is against getting rid of them．
    B．He wants to have them replaced with digital ones．
    C．Soon they will no longer be used．
    D．He believes that they are to blame for the poor quality of education in California
    59．Diskey holds the view that       .
    A．the government shouldn't strengthen the use of open-source digital texts
    B．digital textbooks make up for the shortcomings of traditional textbooks．
    C．paper textbooks and digital ones both have advantages
    D．traditional textbooks have more reliable content
    60．According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Math is easier with the use of computers．
    B．It is believed that digital books will replace traditional ones．
    C．Textbook-free classes are the main form of teaching in the US schools．
    D．Not all people are in favor of replacing paper textbooks with digital ones．

    Here are some of the most common causes of fatigue, and what you can do about them.
    Inadequate Sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep you’ll be tired but it’s rare that busy people get enough sleep. When there aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything, something has to give, and that’s usually sleep. Don’t fool yourself that you can get by on five or six hours of sleep a night. Most people need at least eight hours and some even more.
    Hormone Imbalances. Thyroid disease is extremely common today, especially among young women and the elderly. As common as thyroid disease is, its symptoms are so similar to so many other ailments that it often goes unnoticed by both doctors and patients. If you’re suffering from fatigue, get your thyroid hormone levels checked.
    Food Allergies. You may be allergic to common foods like dairy, eggs, nuts, wheat, corn, chocolate, or coffee. If you suffer from coughing or wheezing, digestive problems, headaches, muscle aches or joint pain, itching and skin problems, in addition to fatigue, try cutting out each of these foods for a week to see if you feel better without it. Also, don’t eat excessive amounts of any particular food during any one day.
    Environmental Toxins. Fatigue may result from our polluted environment. If, in addition to fatigue, you suffer from headaches, allergies or respiratory problems, you may be absorbing airborne toxins. Check the ventilation system in your home and office. Buy houseplants, air filters, and water filters for your home. If you’re working in a “sick” building you may have to look for another job.
    Couch Potato Syndrome. Fifty percent of depression and fatigue can be caused by inactivity. For an energy boost, do anything that gets you moving for 20 to 30 minutes a day.
    Anemia. Anemia can be a hidden disease in women. If you’re tired for no known reason, have your total iron count taken. Sometimes, even though your blood count may show a normal level of red blood cells, you may still be deficient in iron. If your iron count is low, you may need supplements.
    Cigarette Smoking. Cigarettes are an enormous energy drain. They rob the body’s cells of oxygen and produce carbon monoxide poisoning.
    Too Much Coffee. If you drink a lot of coffee in the effort to beat fatigue, in the long run you’ll be even more tired. Coffee gives you a temporary lift at the cost of long-term energy.
    Poor Nutrition. The typical American diet, high in refined foods and animal fat, supplies inadequate nutrients and drains energy. Switch to a diet low in animal protein and saturated fat and high in fruits, vegetables, grains and beans. Cut out highly processed foods. Take vitamins.
    62. What does the underlined word “fatigue” mean?
    A. tiredness        B. weakness         C. sickness          D. laziness
    63. Couch potato syndrome has something to do with ______.
    A. potato          B. couch            C. energy           D. inactivity
    64. According to the passage, you can infer that ______.
    A. you can always do with five or six hours of sleep a night.
    B. fifty percent of depression and fatigue can be caused by inactivity.
    C. it’s easier for women to catch thyroid disease or anemia.
    D. the more coffee you drink, the less tired you are.
    65. Which of the following is NOT one of the causes of fatigue according to the passage?
    A. Polluted environment.          B. Cigarette smoking.           C. Low iron count.
    D. A diet low in animal protein and saturated fat and high in fruits, vegetables, grains and beans.

    How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?
    These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source.
    For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. But garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.
    Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as the world produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil!
    But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scraps and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.
    Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.
    53. What two problems can be solved by burning garbage?
    A. The shortage of energy; Air pollution.
    B. The shortage of energy; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.
    C. Air pollution; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.
    D. Air pollution; the shortage of fossil fuel.
    54.Which of the following is NOT a result of burning garbage?
    A. The heat produced is used to boil water.
    B. The steam produced is used to make electricity.
    C. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.
    D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.
    55.According to the passage. Which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?
    A. food scraps and metals                    B. paper and glass
    C. metals and glass                             D. food scraps and paper
    56.What is the general tone of the passage?
    A. optimistic                       B. indifferent                     C. advocating               D. anxious

    Today, as with so many days, I found myself stuck in a traffic jam, and I thought I’d share my little trick for keeping calm when it seems like you are creeping along(缓慢行进).
    The key to understand is that traffic jams don’t take as long as they seem to. It’s just that when we are in a hurry, and think we should be moving, but time appears to pass more than it does. To really show this, the next time you are stopped at a light that always seems to take forever to change, try to do something with your phone, your laptop, whatever you have available, and watch how much briefer the light seems.
    When you enter a jam on the highway, reset your trip plan and care the time. Then, when you clear the jam, and are normally on your way again, care the distance of the jam, and the time it took to get through it. For my experience today, it took me 6 minutes to go 2 miles. Now, it happens to be mathematically convenient that your average speed on the highway is about 60 mph, or a mile per minute. So to estimate what time the jam actually cost you, just take your traffic jam passing time, and subtract（减去） the distance covered, which we know is a good estimate of the time it would have taken with no traffic jam. In my case, all that added up to 6-2="4" minutes.
    Do this for every jam you are subjected to every time and watch how much less stressful they become once you understand how little time you are really losing.
    小题1:We can infer from Paragraph 1 and 2 that ________.
    A. there was no traffic jam in the past
    B. modern people are under great pressure
      time passes much faster during traffic jams
    D. people in traffic jams are usually impatient
    小题2:What does the writer suggest when caught in traffic jams?
    A. Playing a trick on other drivers.
    B. Figuring out how much time the jam actually cost you.
      Doing some math problems.
