Brain Drain
Imagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend.He tells you that he's gotten the student visa and is going to study abroad for higher education.His parents may feel it a privilege that their son is guaranteed to have a bright future and unbelievable job opportunities.(71)A  While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected,others have realized a serious problem-brain drain.Brain drain refers to the flow of highly skilled and educated people,such as doctors,engineers,scientists from less developed countries to developed countries. Brain drain has become a common social problem.(72)F These reasons are"Push"factors (因素) and"Pull"factors.The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions,and so on.The pull factors,however,include higher pay and better working conditions,better job opportunities,as well as better research equipment.
As we can see,many educated people are heading for richer countries,seeking higher wages and better working conditions.(73)D It reduces the number of creative people who can contribute to the development of their country.Meanwhile,with more successful businessmen taking their money abroad,their countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation.(74)B Besides these economic effects,the brain drain has also social negative effects,such as the loss of improvement in research and technique.
Therefore,measures must be taken in less developed countries to avoid brain drain.(75)E   Social developments like health services and education opportunities also need improving.Otherwise,less developed countries will face an uncertain future.
A.Even you may start to admire his plans.
B.This also reduces government tax income.
C.Why should their motivations be seriously considered?
D.This of course has serious negative effects on their own countries.
E.There should be more job opportunities for highly educated people.
F.So it is important to find out the proper reasons behind the brain drain.
G.Most of the measures taken so far have not reduced the effects of brain drain.

1.Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism. More and more of us are becoming concerned about the effects we are having on the destinations we choose,as well as the world around us. Some of us are choosing more green modes of transport to get there instead of flying,and some of us are choosing to visit greener destinations. India is one of the best places for ecotourism,and with the destinations below you can be sure that you'll not only be protecting the earth,but giving something back to the area too.
Kerala,more commonly known as"God's Own Country",is a beautiful state on the southern tip of India. It's a biologically diverse area,with many unique animal species,and almost 2,500 plant species in its tropical forests-that's nearly a quarter of all India's plant groups. In the past,though the forests in this area were much cleared,today they are well protected. There are plenty of wildlife reserves where you can see some of these unique animals.
With tourism developing in the area and money brought in,more attention can be given to protecting its plants and animals,ensuring that the people in the area have a better quality of life.
Arunachal Pradesh,situated on the most northern tip of India,is a resort for the more adventurous. With dry,desert heat in the summer and a snowfall best avoided in the winter,this area is less about greenery,and more about stunning desert landscapes. When visiting this amazing area,you'll be promoting locals earning income from their surroundings,encouraging them to make the most of them and preserve them,as well as gradually increasing their quality of life.
As a north Indian province,Ladakh supports much rare and even endangered plants and animals,which can be seen at Hemis High Altitude National Park. There are also many Tibetan monasteries,including the Hemis Monastery,to visit in the area.
76. Why do people regard Kerala as a biologically diverse area?(no more than 15 words)Because there live many unique animal species and almost 2,500 plant species.
77. What's the author's attitude towards the tourist industry in Kerala?(no more than 6 words)The author quite approves of it./He is in favor of it./He is for it./He is supportive./He is optimistic about it./He thinks it is quite good (beneficial).
78. What can the tourists enjoy in Arunachal Pradesh despite much hardship?( no more than 4 words)The beautiful/stunning desert landscapes.
79. According to the passage,where would you like to go if you intend to study some endangered animals and plants?(no more than 7 words)Hemis High Altitude National Park in Ladakh
80. What is the passage mainly talking about?(no more than 6 words)The best ecotourism destinations in India..

18.People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean,for example,you would consider octopus (章鱼)a great delicacy (佳肴). You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive(令人讨厌的). On the other hand,your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat---the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
  No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail (蜗牛).Cooked in wine,snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who,ever since their early years,have learned to associate snails with food.
As my friend,Robert's flat is in a large town,he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much,but one day,after a heavy shower,I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails on some of my favorite plants. Acting on a sudden impulse (冲动),I collected several dozen,put them in a paper bay,and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and 1 went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours.I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner.Snails would,of course,be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and 1 reluctantly (不情愿地) followed Robert out of the room. To our surprise,we saw that there were snails everywhere:they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall!I have never been able to look at a snail since then.
68. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that when collecting the snails,the writerB
  A. was glad that he could share them with his friend
  B. didn't think much about the result and it was just a sudden wish
  C. was excited about being able to give his friend a surprise
  D. was depressed because it was hard to catch them all
69. The writer finds that snailsC
  A. are as delicious as octopus                 B.are disliked in his hometown
  C. are the most controversial(有争议的) food  D.are as popular as fried potatoes'
70. According to the passage,people love different foods mainly becauseD
  A. they live in different places
  B. they have the same genes as their parents
  C. they have different understandings of delicacies
  D. they learn to eat certain foods in their families
71. What's the best title for the passage?C
  A.Foods and cultures                      
  B.Snail and octopus
  C.One man's meat is another man's poison      
  D.People are illogical in front of delicacies.

5.Celebrities(名人) are more in love with themselves than the average person,according to a new study.
In case anyone needed proof,a new study supports the widely held perception:Famous people are more narcissistic(自我陶醉的),which means they are more in love with themselves than the average person is.That is the conclusion drawn by Drew Pinsky and S.Mark Young of the University of Southern California,whose study of 200celebrities will appear in the Journal Of Research in Personality.
It is not the entertainment industry that turns stars into narcissists,the study found.Rather,it suggests,the self-adoring(自恋的)people seek jobs in show business.The study,whose subjects were a11celebrities from Pinsky's‘Loveline'radio show,found that reality TV stars were the most narcissistic of all celebrities.Female stars were also more likely than the male stars to exhibit narcissistic characteristics.
It's"common sense"that celebrities are narcissists,said Jeremy Ritzlin,a longtime Hollywood psychologist who has not seen the study."Everyone knows famous people are really in love with themselves,"he said."So it would be natural for narcissists to be attracted toward the stage and spotlight,where other people will also think highly of them."
Pinsky,an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at USC'S Keck School of Medicine,said narcissists desire attention,are overconfident,behave strangely and lack sympathy."However,they are easily-liked,especially on first meeting,are outgoing and perform well in public,"added Pinsky,who has hosted the radio show"Loveline"for 20years.
Celebrity guests appearing on the program were randomly chosen to participate in the study.They anonymously(匿名地)took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test.which rates self-love levels based on seven components:superiority,exhibitionism,entitlement,vanity,authority,exploitativeness,and self-sufficiency.

36.Who are most likely to be self-adoring in the study?A
A.The women stars.    B.The men stars
C.The average people.  D.It is not mentioned in the passage.
37.According to the forth paragraph.the fact"celebrities are narcissists"C.
A.is common in the entertainment industry
B.is a misunderstanding of Jeremy Ritzlin
C.is known to most of the people
D.is unreal on the stage
38.According to Pinsky,narcissists may NOTB.
A.hope to attract attention
B.be kind to poor people
C.believe in themselves
D.be liked by others easily
39.How were the celebrities surveyed in the study?D
A.They were interviewed by Drew Pinsky and S.Mark Young.
B.They were invited to the University of Southern California.
C.They appeared on Pinsky's‘Loveline'radio show.
D.They took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test.
40.The author of this passage wants to tell USD.
A.how psychologists make a study
B.how entertainment industry produces celebrities
C.how people think of the famous stars
D.how celebrities feel about themselves.

15."Wanna buy a body?"That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U.S.News.Like many in the mainstream press,I wanted to separate the world of photographers into"them",who trade in pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana,and"us",the serious newspeople.But after 16years in that role,I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable.
Working in the reputable world of journalism,I told photographers to cover other people's difficult life situations.I justified marching into moments of sadness,under the appearance of the reader's right to know.I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines.And I wasn't alone.
In any American town,after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed,you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries.But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene-and fast…
How can we justify doing this?Journalists are taught to separate,doing the job from worrying about the consequences of publishing what they record.Repeatedly,they are reminded of a news-business saying:Leave your conscience in the office,A victim may lie bleeding,unconscious,or dead.Your job is to record the image (图象).You're a photographer,not an emergency medical worker.You put away your feelings and document the scene.
But catastrophic events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors.In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs,photo agencies buy pictures.They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject.Often,an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines.The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests.
I worked on all those stories and many like them.When they happen,you move quickly:buying,dealing,trying to beat the agencies to the pictures.
Now,many people believe journalists are the hypocrites (伪君子) who need to be brought down,and it's our pictures that most anger others.Readers may not believe,as we do,that there is a distinction between clear-minded"us"and mean-spirited"them".In too many cases,by our choices of images as well as how we get  them,we prove our readers right.

67.When journalists are working,they are told toC.
A.work with their conscience
B.respect the privacy of the victim
C.separate their work from feelings
D.ask police for permission to take photos
68.The 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly tell us thatD.
A.speed determines the success of a news story
B.photo agencies are greedier than serious newspeople
C.photographers have free access to photos of accidents
D.profit is the driving force beliind the competition for photos
69.It can be learned from the last paragraph that serious newspeopleB.
A.obtain photos differently from news agencies
B.are no better than self-employed photographers
C.are more devoted to work than non-professionals
D.have a higher moral standard than self-employed photographers
70.The underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refers toD.

"Gangnam Style"has become a new Korean expression that refers to a lifestyle in the Gangnam district of Seoul,where people are trendy and modern.The term was listed in Time's Weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with luxurious lifestyles in Gangnam district of Seoul.PSY said in an interview that he had a sense of humor by pretending to be"Gangnam Style"when everything about the song,dance,looks,and the music video is far from being high class.

20.We were driving on the right road when,all of a sudden,a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver stepped on his brake,skidded(打滑),and missed the black car's back end by just inches!The driver of the black car,who almost caused a major accident,turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.
    My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.I mean,my taxi driver was friendly.So,I said,"Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!"And the following is what my taxi driver told me,which I now call"the law of the Garbage Truck".
"Many people are like garbage(垃圾) trucks.They run around full of garbage,full of anger,and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up,they need a place to dump(倾卸)it.And if you let them,they dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you,don't take it personally.Just smile,wave,wish him well,and move on.Believe me.You'll be happier."
So this is"The Law of the Garbage Truck".I started thinking:How often do I let"Garbage Trucks"run right over me?And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets?It was then that I said,"I'm not going to do it any more."
    I began to see"Garbage Trucks".I see the load they're carrying.I see them coming to drop it off.And like my taxi driver,I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile,wave,and move on.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses.What about you?The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what's important.
40.Who acted like a garbage truck in the accident described in the first two paragraphs?B
A.The author.B.The driver of the black car.C.The taxi driver.D.Both drivers.
41.The reason why the taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy is thatC.
A.the black car was full of garbage
B.the driver of the black car didn't cause any damage to the taxi
C.the taxi driver didn't want his mood ruined
D.the driver of the black car was angry and the taxi driver felt a little frightened
42.The underlined part"the load"in Paragraph 5 refers toD.
A.waste materials  B.excitement  C.new products      D.bad mood
43.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?C
A.Always be kind and hardworking.
B.Try to be good leaders as well as good parents.
C.Ignore unpleasantness and stick to(坚持) your tasks.
D.Do things quickly so as to be ready for the next.
