    The city of Rome has passed a new law to prevent cruelty to animals. All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.

    This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.

    “The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Cirinna, the councilor (议员)behind the new law.

    “It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.

    The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.

    “Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world. It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve our respect and compassion every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

    Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.

    The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.

    The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tails to make them look lovelier. The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.

    The new law passed in Rome will ________.

    A. help improve fishing environment

    B. guarantee better conditions for goldfish

    C. stop people from catching goldfish

    D. discourage keeping goldfish at home

    People in Rome believe that the civilization of a city can be judged by its ________.

    A. exchanges with other cities

    B. protection for ancient ruins

    C. awareness of animal protection

    D. recognition of animal lovers

    The underlined word “compassion” in Paragraph 6 is the closest in meaning to ________.

    A. pity               B. praise            C. support              D. popularity

    People may break the law in Turin if they ________.

    A. keep their dogs or cats in cars

    B. feed homeless animals in car parks

    C. raise their cats near ancient ruins

    D. shut their dogs home all day long

    For a song to become popular, people need to hear it. In order for people to hear it, the program directors at radio stations have to play it on the air. A song’s popularity is directly related to how often it is played. That is a big responsibility for program directors. How do they decide what gets played and what doesn’t?
    In the past, disc jockeys(音乐节目支持人) decided what music was played on the radio. These DJs had an ear for music and an understanding of what their audience wanted to hear. Today, that is all changing. Most major radio stations are owned by a few large national businesses. The decision of what gets played on the radio is made by executives(主管) who have little or no interest in music. They do, however, know how to run a business, and they know what sells. So, the music industry designs and creates pop entertainers, and executives in the radio industry make sure that their music is played on the radio. This explains why you do not often hear anything new and fresh on the radio. The executives do not want to give air time to music that has not been tested on the market. It is too risky. They prefer to go with music that they already know will sell. They know it will sell because it sold last week and last month and last year. They just have to change it a little.
    One of the most criticized(批评)practices in the music industry is the practice of “payola”. This is when record companies pay radio stations to play the music of a given artist. This practice makes many people lose trust in the music industry and is therefore against the law. A radio station can accept money in exchange for air time of a song, but they have to make clear that the song is being played because its air time was paid for. They cannot present the song as if it were part of the normal play schedule.
    Payola affects both artists and audiences. The artists who work with small record companies that cannot pay a lot of money to radio stations have a much harder time getting exposure. It creates an unfair playing field. Music lovers suffer because they are not able to hear all the music that is available.
    67. According to the passage, most major radio stations belong to _______.
    A. national businesses    B. program directors     C. pop entertainers        D. record companies
    68. “Payola” is the practice of ________.
    A. artists paying radio stations to play their songs
    B. record companies buying air time for certain music
    C. radio station paying record company for new songs
    D. program directors deciding what music gets played
    69. Who can make the largest profits from payola?
    A. Disc Jockeys.    B. The given artists.     C. Business executives.      D. Program directors.
    70. It can be concluded from the passage that the author _______.
    A. has a positive attitude towards the practice of “payola”
    B. is dissatisfied with the present situation in music industry
    C. is calling for a change in the normal play schedule
    D. thinks that the radio stations are doing the right thing

    Consulates (领事馆) exist to help citizens abroad to help themselves. Every year millions of people go abroad for pleasure or profit (利润). There are consular officers ready to do what they can to help if people get into difficulties, but for all sorts of reasons there are limits to what they can do. Most times things go well for travelers abroad but occasionally things go wrong.
    So, whether you are an experienced traveler or a first timer, going by yourself, with the family or a group there are things you should do before you go. Think about money and tickets well in advance. Take enough money including enough to pay your return fare, and hold on to it. Better still, buy return tickets in the first place. In an emergency a consul (领事) will contact relatives or friends and ask them to help you with money or tickets. But there's no law that says a consul has to lend you money and if he eventually does (and it will have to be repaid) he will want to be satisfied first that you really do have no money and there is no one else you know who can help.
    It is also important to take out proper insurance (保险) for everything from car breakdowns to loss of life. A consul cannot pay your medical or any other bills, nor can he do the work of local travel representatives or motoring organizations.
    1．What is the author trying to do in the textm
    A．To inform people about laws abroad.      B．To describe an international problem.
    C．To explain how to visit a consulate.       D．To give advice about consulates
    2．Why would somebody read the text?
    A．To know how to contact a consul.      B．To find out how to make a complaint (抱怨).
    C．To know when to contact a consul.     D．To find out where a consul lives.
    3．You can borrow money from a consul if you    
    A．need to stay abroad longer.            B．have to help a relative
    C．have no other financial (资金) means    D．need to have your car repaired
    4．Which of the following notices would you see in Consular Office?
    A． CONSULAR OFFICE
    In an emergency you may contact your consul. He may give you advice but you should not rely on being given financial help.
    B．CONSULAR OFFICE
    In an emergency you may contact this office. Your consul can always help with hospital and dental costs.
    C．CONSULAR OFFICE
    You may contact your consul if you have run out of money. He will arrange for you to receive help if you cannot pay your bills.      
    D．CONSULAR OFFICE
    Your consul is here to help you. If your car has broken down or you’re experiencing travel difficulties of any kind. Contact your consul.

    Paparazzi, or "paps", are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.

    The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money —normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.

    There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper (不合适的) pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.

    There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities (名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.

    Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with "informers" who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone —from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.

    Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.

    What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!

    1.Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?

    A．Taking pictures of famous people in public places.

    B．Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.

    C．Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.

    D．Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.

    2.In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.

    A．get the only first-hand pictures

    B．sell the pictures to a big newspaper

    C．make friends with famous people

    D．know the locations of celebrities

    3.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.

    A．how paparazzi get the pictures

    B．how dangerous paparazzi’s job is

    C．how much paparazzi pay for the pictures

    D．how paparazzi contact informers

    4.What can we infer from the passage?

    A．Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.

    B．Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.

    C．Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.

    D．Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.
