      China's third manned spacecraft lifted off at 9:10 p.m. on Thursday to accomplish its most ambitious and risky task: spacewalk.

    Shenzhou VII, carrying astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng, was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province, into a clear sky.

    As is the case with such tasks in China, the first few moments were tense. But then the ground control heard the voices of the astronauts. They felt "physically sound", they said to the joy of the scientists on the ground.

    The astronauts will orbit the Earth for three days, 68 hours, to be precise, and one of them will walk in space about 343 km above the Earth on Saturday.

    That will be China's first spacewalk and will make China the third country to conduct extra-vehicular activity (EVA) in space. The other two to have achieved that are the former Soviet Union and the US.

    The timing of the spacewalk could, however, be changed, depending on how long it would take for the astronauts to adjust to all the factors. EVAs are necessary for China's long-term goal of building a space station by 2020, and possibly launching a manned task to the Moon.

    The astronauts will land in central part of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region in a re-entry module on September 28th (Sunday).

    The astronauts entered the spacecraft at 6:28 p.m. Thursday, checked the communication system with the ground control after reviewing the operation manual of the spaceship.

    The spaceship will change its orbit around 4 a.m. today. And the astronauts will start testing and putting on the EVA spacesuits, which could take up to 15 hours.

    China launched its first manned spaceship (Shenzhou V) in October 2003, and followed it up by sending Shenzhou VI two years later. But the Shenzhou VII astronauts have a greater task in hand.

     

    56. What can we learn from the passage ?

    A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walk.

    B. Three astronauts will walk in space on schedule to conduct EVA in space.

    C. The Shenzhou-7 re-entry module will land on Saturday afternoon in central part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

    D. The success of the spacewalk will be one step further towards China's longer-term goal to have a space station by 2020.

    57. The underlined words “such tasks in China” in the third paragraph most probably refer to         .

    A. the first human spacewalk by the former Soviet Union astronaut Alexei Leonov in 1965

    B. American astronaut Neil Armstrong setting foot on the Moon in 1969

    C. the first two manned spaceflights of China in 2003 and 2005

    D. China's launching a manned spacecraft to the Moon

    58. The main purpose of the passage is to          .

    A. tell a story      B. provide evidence     C. give a report   D. compare opinions

    The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:

    Four – percent effort

    The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.

    Administrative rank

    Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚机构) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.

    Vocational Education

    The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.

    Entering college

        Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.

    56．Which of the following is true in the future according to the passage?

          A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.

           B．Colleges will be given the right to choose all of their own applicants.

           C．Vocational education will be party free to make people’s lives better.

           D．Applicants could sit for the college entrance English test more than once.

    57．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “uniform” in the last paragraph?

           A．formal      B．official     C．same D．united

    58．We can learn from the passage even though our country spends 4% of GDP on education in 2012,          .

           A．there will still be 188 countries ahead of China in this aspect

           B．China will certainly overtake the global average spending on education

           C．there might be nearly 100 countries ahead of China in this aspect

           D．China will be the 100 th country to spend over the global average on education

    59．From the third paragraph, we can infer that         .

          A．school leaders will have more freedom to manage the school

           B．schools will have more limits from the government

           C．School administrative rankings are to be strengthened to solve the bureaucracy problem

           D．schools and research centers will be fully independent from the government

    NANJING, June 13,2009 (Xinhua) – China will see the longest total solar eclipse (日食) in 500 years on July 22, a scientist said Saturday.

    The most important time of the total eclipse was expected to
    begin from 9:00 a.m. to 9:38 a. m. (Beijing Time), said Wang
    Sichao, a research fellow with the Nanjing – based Purple
    Mountain Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
    “The total eclipse will l ast up to six minutes, which is the longest
    one that can be seen in China in almost 500 years from 1814 to 2309,” Wang said.
    He said viewers in parts of eleven provinces in China's southwestern, central-southern and eastern areas, such as Tibet, Hunan and Jiangsu, will be able to witness the total solar eclipse, while in most parts of Shanghai, viewers can see the spectacular phenomenon. For viewers in other provinces, including Beijing, they can observe a partial eclipse, he said.
    A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is caught between the sun and the earth while each of them moves along their fixed orbits. In a total solar eclipse, the sun, the moon and the earth are directly aligned as the sun swings into the cone of shadow cast by the moon.
    Wang said the next total solar eclipse that can be seen in China will fall on March 20 th, 2034.     "But it can only be seen remote provinces, such as Tibet and Qinghai. It cannot not be compared with the upcoming one -- in terms of duration and number of cities that can see the eclipse," he added. The last total solar eclipse visible in China took place on Aug. 1 last year. It was observed in northwest China and lasted two minutes in Yiwu County of northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the best place to see the phenomenon.
    72．According to the report, the total eclipse on July the 22 nd will last         .
    A．over a month                                                    B．about 38 minutes
    C．about 6 minutes                                              D．less than 30 minutes
    73．Viewers can possibly witness the total solar eclipse in            .
    A．Liaoning                   B．Sichuan                    C．Beijing                      D．Xinjiang
    74．When a total solar eclipse happens,          .
    A．the moon goes into the shadow cast by the sun
    B．the earth stays between the sun and the moon
    C．the sun temporarily moves into the moon’s orbit
    D．the sun is in a line with the moon and the earth
    75．Which is the best title for this report?           .
    A．China to witness longest total solar eclipse in 500 years
    B．The most important total solar eclipse will favor China
    C．The beginning time of the total solar eclipse is expected
    D．China has been the best place to witness the solar eclipse

    It is "one of the few bright spots in the Chinese economy," says Zeng Ming． He is talking about e-commerce． Mr Zeng, the chief strategy officer for Alibaba, a giant Chinese Internet firm, predicts that digital transactions on his firm's platforms will top l trillion yuan （$159 billion） this year-more than Amazon's and eBay's combined． That is a bold claim, but consider what happened on Singles Sunday．

    Invented a few years ago by students and seized upon by digital marketers, this festival for lonely hearts falls annually on the  llth day of the llth month （since l is the loneliest number）．It is like St Valentine's Day, only worse． Singletons shower each other with tender gifts: a barrage of pearls; a storm of sweets．

    This November llth they spent a surprising 19 billion yuan on Alibaba's online platforms-a fourfold increase on a year ago, and more than double what Americans spent online last Cyber Monday （the Monday after Thanksgiving, when retailers urge Americans to shop online）． About 100m purchases were logged, accounting for 80% of the packages shipped that day． Couriers（怏递员） were buried in parcels．

    So life is good for China's e-tailers, then? Not exactly． The number of digital marketers is increasing and online sales are booming． Consumers are enjoying lower prices, better service and more variety． The problem? The pressure on profits in Chinese e-commerce is worse than in America, reckons Elinor Leung of CLSA, a broker． "Almost no one makes money," she says．

    The fiercest battles are being fought between online retailers and their bricks-and-mortar（实体的） rivals．Dangdang, a firm． that resembles Amazon,．and 360buy, another online retailer, have cut prices fiercely． Tencent, a cash-rich online giant known for its instant-messaging software, is splashing out to win market share． 360buy has also just raised $400m from investors to do the same． But it is unclear how much longer such firms can burn through capital．

    1.What's the best title of this passage?

    A．The Ambition of Alibaba

    B．Fierce Competition between Retailers

    C．A Newly Sprung Festival for the Singles

    D．Chinese Booming and Developing E-commerce

    2.According to Zeng Ming, this year Alibaba will        ．

    A．outweigh Amazon and eBay in worldwide influence

    B．rank top among all the Internet firms

    C．have more than 159 billion dollars' sale

    D．create another sales miracle just like the one on Singles Day

    3.How many packages were shipped on November ll th from Alibaba's online platforms?

    A．About 80 million．                      B．About 100 million．

    C．About 125 million．                     D．About 180 million．

    4.What's the author's attitude towards online retailers in China?

    A．Optimistic．                           B．Concerned．

    C．Sympathetic．                         D．Indifferent．
