         British police have begun a year-long programme of Olympic security tests, conducting sweeping
    searches of London 2012 venues and practising defensive counter-terrorism tactics(反恐策略).
         The exercises described are part of a broad range of tests to check how the police, government
    departments and emergency services would respond to any problems with the Games.
         British police have been conducting security sweeps inside the Olympic Stadium in London as part
    of an anti-terror exercise ahead of next year's games. Officers have been searching sections of the
    stadium by hand, while sniffer dogs have been employed to search seats for traces of explosives.
          The Metropolitan Police's national security coordinator for the London Olympics, Assistant
    Commissioner Chris Allison, refused to remark on Tuesday over whether the death of Osama bin
    Laden had produced intelligence to suggest that the Games were being targeted by Al-Qaeda(基地
    组织) terrorists.
         Chris Allison said, "Clearly I'm not going to go into any details of any intelligence, but put it this way,
    we have planned all of our Olympic plans on the basis of a severe threat from terrorism. We've looked
    at the various attack methods used by terrorists across the world, and put in place the necessary control
    measures here to make sure the terrorists couldn't be successful."
         Specialist officers from the police "rope access" team have been searching the floodlights at the
    Olympic Stadium to check for suspicious objects.
        The British government's austerity drive has resulted in tough budget(预算)cuts for the police service
    in London.
         But the government has insisted that the budget for Olympic security won't be affected by the
    cutbacks.
         Security has been a serious concern for the Olympics since the killing of 11 Israeli athletes and
    coaches at the 1972 Munich Games.
         The London Games are seen as a high security threat particularly, as the Olympics offer an
    international platform for any terror group because there will be live events broadcast worldwide.
         The 2012 London Summer Olympics begin July 27 and run through August 12.

    1. We can infer from the passage that ______.

    A. London will spend as little money as they can on the Games
    B. London is facing much trouble in hosting the Olympic Game
    C. there is some possibility that terrorists will do some damage
    D. 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were killed at the 1972 Munich Games

     2. Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

    A. British police search sections of the stadium by hand.
    B. There are several explosives made by terrorists in the stadium.
    C. British police put great effort into the Olympic security check.
    D. Some dogs are employed in the security sweeps.

    3. The underlined word "austerity" in the seventh paragraph probably means ______.

    A. a situation when people don't have enough money to spend
    B. a state when people feel upset because of some accidents
    C. a debate (辩论) between those who have different views about something
    D. an attitude that has much effect on people's shopping ideas

    4. What is the best title of the passage?

    A. The London Olympic Games
    B. Terrorist Events before the Olympics
    C. Modern Equipment Used in Security Check
    D. The London Olympic Security Check

         Do you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie
    you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body,
    not in your short-term memory bank.
         Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2 do well in memory exams. The "B"
    could stand for "brain", if you're one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of
    that vitamin is sunflower seeds.
         Even when you're sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two
    percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in each day. For it to work
    properly, it must be fed. Even if you're not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your
    brain for the day. A quick and easy English muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an
    orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your
    head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry,
    demanding organ. Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In
    Chinese culture, walnuts (核桃) are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed
    both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs
    in good working order, you'll live longer.
         However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter "B", which will help you to "bear in mind
    almost everything" even on those days when life's challenges are sending you in a billion directions.

    1. The underlined word "muffin" in the third paragraph probably means_________.

    A. menu          
    B. dinner          
    C. calorie          
    D. cookie

    2. In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned to____________.

    A. support the idea of long life       
    B. show the importance of vitamin B-1  
    C. warn the readers of two organs      
    D. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds

    3. What can we conclude from the passage?

    A. What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.  
    B. Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing.
    C. It doesn't make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not.  
    D. Life's challenges have no effect on our memory, if dealt with in a proper way.

    4. The best title for the passage could be_______________.

    A. Human of Memory Loss              
    B. Vitamin B-2 and Memory
    C. Forgetful? But not Brain              
    D. Chinese Culture of Long Life

         Boys need friends, suffer when they don't believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs
    of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though,
    no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and
    healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人).
         Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very
    important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A
    recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls
    tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the
    end of a friendship.
         Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group"； they love games with rules, competition,
    and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against
    others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court.
    Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an
    experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
         As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include
    girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy's life-and a part in
    which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds
    with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me",  
    someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of
    adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.

    1. The common belief of adults is that boys________.
    A. don't care about others as much as girls
    B. don't value friendship as much as girls
    C. have the same friendship as girls
    D. have healthier friendship than girls

    2. According to the text, boys' friendship________.
    A. is usually built around active play
    B. tends to be in small groups
    C. can bear mutual hurt between friends
    D. doesn't suffer from failure

    3. The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________.
    A. many people believe girls are better at relationships
    B. most boys consider their friends very important
    C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
    D. boys may be more active in a friendship

    4. As a boy gets older, he tends to________.
    A. widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people
    B. shift his focus from his friends to himself
    C. leave his parents out of his friendship
    D. be confused about what a friendship is

    5. What's the best title for the text?
    A. Friendships between Boys and Girls
    B. Boys and Their Friendship
    C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
    D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys

         Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and
    researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather
    than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
         Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings.What drove our
    ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The
    wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring
    space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
         Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding
    areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the
    danger.With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
         Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have
    no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical
    possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have
    medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from
    other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in
    communications systems.Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts (副产品) of
    technological developments in the space industry!
          While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows
    creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While
    space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also
    holds dangers.The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to
    reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
         While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow
    us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have
    adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

    1. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?

    A. To express his doubts.
    B. To compare different ideas.
    C. To introduce points for discussion.
    D. To describe the conditions on Earth.

    2. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?

    A. Humans are natureborn to do so.
    B. Humans have the tendency to fight.
    C. Humans may find new sources of food.
    D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place.

    3. The underlined word "spinoffs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________.

    A. survival chances  
    B. potential resources
    C. unexpected benefits  
    D. physical possessions

    4. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?

    A. Our genetic makeup.
    B. Resources on the earth.
    C. The adaptive ability of humans.
    D. Byproducts in space exploration.

         Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little
    environmental influence.But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,
    it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.
         Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain.Wherever
    you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find
    out their policy on camping and shelter building.For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of
    Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner's permission, except in national parks.
         Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do
    without modern conveniences.A busy, fullyequipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so
    seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches.Better
    still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
         Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night's sleep.Choose a campsite
    with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment.Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland, avoid standing
    dead trees, which may fall on a windy night.Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting
    insects.Make sure you have most protection on the windward side.If you make a fire, do so downwind
    of your shelter.Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world.Avoid damaging
    plants.A good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary.

    1. You needn't ask for permission when camping in ________.

    A. national parks in England
    B. most parts of Scotland
    C. crowded lowland Britain
    D. most parts of England

    2. The author thinks that a good campsite is one ________.

    A. with easy access
    B. used previously
    C. with modern conveniences
    D. far away from beaches

    3. The last paragraph mainly deals with ________.

    A. protecting animals
    B. building a campfire
    C. camping in woodland
    D. finding a campsite with privacy

    4. The passage is mainly about ________.

    A. the protection of campsites
    B. the importance of wild camping
    C. the human influence on campsites
    D. the dos and don'ts of wild camping

        Coffee experts are willing to pay large sums of money for high-quality coffee beans. The high-end
    beans, such as Kona or Blue Mountain, are known to cost extraordinary sums of money. Then there
    is Kopi Lowak (translated as "Civet Coffee"), the world's most expensive coffee, which sells for as
    much as US $50 per quarter-pound.
         This isn't particularly surprising, because approximately 500 pounds a year of Kopi Lowak make
    up the entire world supply. What is surprising is why this particular coffee is so rare. In fact, it's not the
    plants that are rare. It's the civet droppings. That's right, the civet droppings-the body waste of the palm
    civet. Coffee beans aren't Kopi Lowak until they've been digested(消化) and come out in the body
    waste of the palm civet.
          Palm civets are tree-dwelling, raccoon-like little animals, native to Southeast Asia and the Indonesian
    islands. They also have a love for coffee cherries. According to Kopi Lowak suppliers, palm civets eat
    the fruit whole, but only digest the outer fruit, leaving the beans intact(完好无损). While the beans are
    not destroyed, they undergo a transformation in the animal's body. A chemical substance in the digestive
    system of the palm civet causes some changes to the beans to give them a unique flavor(味道). However,
    this is not the only explanation why coffee beans retrieved from civet droppings have a special flavor all
    their own. Another possible reason is that palm civets have an unfailing instinct for picking the coffee
    cherries at the peak of their ripeness.
          Kopi Lowak is reported to have a character in taste unlike any other coffee, complex with caramel
    undertones and an earthy flavor. Currently, most of the world's supply of Kopi Lowak is sold in Japan,
    though a few US markets are also starting to stock up on Kopi Lowak.

    1.What does "This" in the second paragraph refer to?

    A. Civet Coffee.
    B. Blue Mountain coffee.
    C. The high price of Kopi Lowak.
    D. The unique taste of Kona.

    2.Why is Kopi Lowak expensive?

    A. There is a very limited supply of the beans.
    B. The coffee trees that grow the beans are scarce.
    C. It takes a long time for the coffee beans to ripen.
    D. Only a few experts know how to produce the beans.

    3.What is the main point discussed in the third paragraph?

    A. Why palm civets like the coffee beans.
    B. Where Kopi Lowak is mainly harvested.
    C. What chemicals are found in the civet's digestive system.
    D. How palm civets change coffee fruit to Kopi Lowak beans.

    4.Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?

    A. Little palm civets eat only the outer layer of the coffee cherries.
    B. Palm civets somehow know the right time when the coffee fruit ripens.
    C. Kopi Lowak is most popular in Southeast Asia and the Indonesian islands.
    D. Kona and Blue Mountain are the most expensive coffees but only of average quality.

         Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to
    distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to
    deserving causes,accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city
    believe in fairytales (童话).
         The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained ?10,000 with a cutting from the
    Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag;
    similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes, each containing  ?10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten
    and a church.
         The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least  ?190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of
    them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a
    14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the
    Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of  ? 500 inside with
    a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
         "I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel
    magazine. "I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."
         The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course
    of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
         "For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of
    himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood
    character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
         Henning Noske,the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is
    about to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero,
    for fear that discovery may stop the donations.
    1. The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.
    A. a church
    B. a bank
    C. a newspaper
    D. a magazine
    2.Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?
    A. The donation amounted to  ?190,000.
    B. The donation was sent directly to his house.
    C. The money will be used for his education.
    D. His mother felt astonished at the donation.
    3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A. the donator is a rich old man
    B. the donation will continue to come
    C. the donation comes from the newspaper
    D. the donator will soon be found out
    4. What would be the best title for the passage?

         Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.
         ◆________
         The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most
    of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special
    facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime,
    classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not.
    In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.
         Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the
    students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives
    (选修科目) are few.
         ◆Afterschool Activities
         Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely
    change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs
    (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two
    hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.
