    Your car is a necessary part of your life. You use it every day. Of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer. But despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.

    Each year, car crime costs nearly £3 billion. Of course, if you’re insured, you won’t lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories (配件) in the car.

    Now comes the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible secret locations in your car, is the key of our system. If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a computer gives the vehicle’s exact location, speed and direction.

    The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicle’s location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you.

    RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen. RAC Trackstar’s constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the car’s location. All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again.

    1.If your car is stolen, you will have to ______.

    A. pay more insurance

    B. hire a new car

    C. buy a RAC Trackstar system

    D. inform the National Control Center

    2.The Trackstar system can tell the police ______.

    A. how the car is stolen

    B. who the thief is

    C. where the car is

    D. what brand the car is

    3.The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

    A. the local police station

    B. the RAC Trackstar Control

    C. the Guardian Option

    D. the insurance company

    4.According to the passage, people with RAC Trackstar ______.

    A. automatically find directions

    B. seldom get their vehicles damaged

    C. are more likely to get the stolen cars back

    D. have less chance of being in an accident

    Although he will always be remembered for starring “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve’s life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord （脊椎） injuries and an supporter of stem cell （干细胞） research.

    Unlike the man of steel, he wasn’t faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn’t leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve showeed in trying to overcome his paralysis （瘫痪） from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.

    “He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain’s Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”

    Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.

    He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

    “He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.

    Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.

    1.Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?

    A. strong-willed and caring

    B. tough and persuasive

    C. caring and reliable

    D. sympathetic and considerate

    2.The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that ______.

    A. Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film

    B. the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be remembered

    C. Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis

    D. the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film

    3.Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except______.

    A. setting up a non-profit research organization

    B. winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles

    C. influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research

    D. struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research

    4.It can be implied from the passage that ______.

    A. Reeve remained optimistic after suffering from paralysis

    B. stem cell research has long been a controversial subject

    C. paralysis can happen to anyone no matter how strong he seems

    D. some presently incurable illnesses are to be cured in the near future

    5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

    A. A Fighter of Spinal Cord Injuries

    B. A Real Hero in Film

    C. A Forever Superman

    D. A Struggling Life

    Asia-Pacific consumers are the world's largest group of online shopping lovers and many rely on Internet reviews when making purchases, research firm Nielsen said this week.

    The firm said 35% of consumers in Asia-Pacific used over 11% of their monthly spending to make online purchases, compared to a global average of 27% of consumers.

    South Koreans were the heaviest online buyers in Asia, with 59% directing more than 11% of their monthly spending to online purchases, followed by 41% in China, Nielsen said in a report.

    A further 31% of Asian consumers use between 6% and 10% of their monthly shopping purchases to buy items online.

    More Asia-pacific consumers also intend to buy online in the next six months than those from other regions, with South Koreans and Chinese the most likely to make such purchases.

    Among the purchases consumers in the region are likely to make in the next six months are books, clothing, shoes, airline tickets, electronic equipment and hotel reservations.

    "Technology and the Internet will very likely basically change how and where shoppers spend their money and interact with sellers,” said Pete Gale, a managing director at Nielsen's Retailer Services.

    "We are seeing a strong trend in markets like Korea, where a significant population of online shoppers buy essentials such as groceries, cosmetics and nutrition supplies over the Internet."

    Nielsen said opinions posted online were important in Asia-pacific customers' decisions to buy products such as cosmetics, cars, software and food.

    Asia-pacific consumers were also the most likely to share dissatisfaction at a product on the Internet compared with consumers elsewhere.

    "The increasing accessibility of the Internet and unbelievable popularity of social media and online discussion forums mean today's brands have nowhere to hide, " said Megan Clarken, Asia-Pacific managing director at Nielsen's online division.

    Nielsen said in June that social media such as Facebook and Twitter or blogging sites had become powerful tools influencing what people buy and urged businesses to embrace the trend.

    1.What influences Asia-Pacific consumers most when making purchases online?

    A. Other buyers' comments

    B. Powerful online tools

    C. The varieties of online item

    D. The price and the way to play

    2.Who uses more than 11% of their monthly spending to buy online?

    A.31% of Asians B. 41% of Chinese

    C. 41% of south Koreans D. 26% of global consumers

    3.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. The trend of doing e-business is speeding up.

    B. Asians are most likely to shop with a “click.”

    C. Online shopping is developing quickly worldwide.

    D. Asia-Pacific consumers are fans of online discussion forums.
