The national assistance system for poor college students is getting more effective as proved by fewer phone calls to the hotline of the National Center for Student Assistance Administration.
"Poor college students and their parents are getting more satisfied with the national assistance system," said Ma Wenhua, deputy director of the administration, on Saturday. Over the past three years, the hotline received 8,488 calls. Statistics show 62 percent of the calls were made to ask about the funding policy, while 38 percent (3,200 calls) complained local colleges had failed to abide by the rules to support the students.
Complaints were seen a year-on-year decrease from 2006 to 2008. Ma said some poor families might still overlook what they should do to get support for their child. To ensure education equality, the government has introduced a set of favorable policies to help poor students, such as scholarships, grants(助学金), student loans, tuition waivers(学费全免) and the work-study programs under which poor students are helped out in libraries, teachers' offices or service departments to earn money.
Statistics show the government spent 29.3 billion yuan last year to aid college students, up 7.6 percent from the previous year. Around 40 million persons of college students received the national aid.
The Ministry of Education of the government would ensure that no students drop out of colleges or universities because of poverty.
Among the 20 million students in the country's public and private universities and colleges last year, about 20 percent came from poor backgrounds, official figures show.
小题1:The national assistance system is set up ___.
A.for parents and students to complain

C.for poor students to get free education
D.to help students find jobs
小题2:The underlined phrase "abide by" in the second paragraph probably means ____.

Long queues at cinemas buying hot tickets for blockbusters(巨片) will become rare as Beijing residents will be able to order film tickets via cell phone networks in a month.
Film ticket circulation service on cell phone, also called the “Green channel of film tickets ordering”, is aiming at lowing the cost of ticket circulation and easing the ticket distribution pressure on such popular film-watching days as summer and winter vacations or Valentine’s Day.
“People log onto the net through cell phones, then choose cinema seats, watch trailers, browse information for new films and read cinema introductions,” said Guan Zheng, the publicity chief of Xingmei Digital Media Company Ltd., the service provider.
“Film fans can enjoy various discount prices if they order tickets via cell phones,” Guan said.
Meanwhile, the cell phone ticket circulation platform provides subscribers general mobile phone services like jokes, videos, flashes, phone ring downloads and games.
The service is about to be put into trial at the Beijing-based Xingmei International Cinema for a month before being putting into use at other cinema chains both in and outside Beijing, as the service is going to be improved through gradual expansion, said Guan.
China’s film industry that is being restored has seen more and more enthusiastic moviegoers. Up to the end of 2009, China has had more than 5,000 specialized cinemas, among which there are 2,243 modern cinemas with 3, 668 silver screens and 56 cinema chains.
Currently, many people buy film tickets on the Internet or by phoning the cinema’s ticket office or simply queuing at the cinema gate. More people want to buy tickets on popular days like May Day holiday, National Day holiday or Valentine’s Day. Yet the inefficient ticket circulation system contributes the most to the failure.

A.The price of the ticket ordered via cell phone will be lower.
B.Ordering tickets through the net can get good seats.
C.Few people would like to watch films on the net.

A.You can watch films after downloading them.

小题3:What does the passage imply?
A.The service is only intended to put into use at the cinema in Beijing for a month.
B.China’s film industry saw the decreasing number of moviegoers by the end of 2009.[
C.The traditional ticket selling system makes it hard to get film tickets on popular days.
D.The green channel of tickets ordering is aiming at provides general mobile phone services..
小题4:The best title for the passage would probably be ________.

For a small but increasing  number of young women in modern-day China, true love is all about the numbers. A potential suitor may have a good sense of humor and reasonable good looks, but what they say really matters is if he owns an apartment and how many square feet it is. A sizable bank account is also a must, and, some say, so is a luxury car。
At least, that’s the way things look if you watch Chinese television these days. The latest reality-TV scandal to shock the nation involves Ma Nuo, a 22-year-old model from Beijing who appeared on China's most popular dating show, If You Are the One. She rejected an offer from a male contestant to take a ride on his bike. "I'd rather cry in a BMW (宝马) car than laugh on the backseat of a bicycle," Ma told her suitor with a giggle.
The televised words swept the Internet and made an instant celebrity of Ma, who becomes one of the most talked-about women in the country. The reaction  among young Chinese was especially severe, reflecting growing anxieties over the widening gap between rich and poor, shifting societal values and public attention on the difficulties of finding a mate in a country where men are expected to outnumber women by 24 million in a decade.
As disgusted as they have been by some of the contestants, viewers continue to watch religiously. Why are people still tuning in? "Audiences like programs because they are honest. They show the current reality of Chinese society," says Yan Mu, one of the founders of Baihe.com. Young people are so focused on making money and building their careers these days, they have little time to devote to dating, he says. "Many people feel pressure from their parents and peers," Yan adds. " It can be a struggle to find a partner." Money may not buy you love. But on China's reality shows, it can at least get you a date.
小题1:The underlined words“numbers”in the first paragraph include the following except_______
A.the age and degreeB.the size of the houseC.the sum of the depositD.the price of the belonging
小题2:What does Ma Nuo mean by saying“I’d rather cry in a BMW car than laugh on the backseat of a bicycle.”in the second paragraph?
A.When she is in a BMW car, she will cryB.When she is on a bike, she will laugh
C.She prefers money to true loveD.She prefers true love to money
小题3:Why do many young men take part in TV dating shows?
A.because they think they may get true love from them
B.because they think China’s reality shows can at least give them a chance to date
C.because their parents and peers force them to do so
D.because viewers like dating shows
小题4:Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.some contestants have been disgusted because they are dishonest
B.young people are too busy to take part in dating shows
C.some people are worried that societal value are changing
D.Ma Nuo rejected the bike offered by the contestant
小题5:What is the best title of the passage?
A.China’s TV Dating ShowB.Date for Love or money
C.Date Makes You a CelebrityD.Popular TV Dating Show

Would you like to be a king or queen? To have people waiting on you hand and foot? Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How? By being customers. The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof? Just listen to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonald’s ad: “We do it all for you.” Actually, not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special.
People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places don’t have a “furniture street” or a “computer road” which allow you to compare prices easily. Instead, people often “let their fingers do the walking” through the store hot lines. From the first “hello”, customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help them decide where to shop.
When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don’t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping a breeze. Customers usually don’t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. And unless they’re at a flea market or a yard sale, they don’t bother trying to bargain.
When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphy’s Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you” from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. That way, they don’t have to carry heavy bags out to the car.
小题1: By quoting (引用) the McDonald’s ad: “We do it all for you”, the author intends to_______.
A.suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeply
B.show readers the American idea on good customer service
C.express all the stores pay much attention to the customers
D.persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly
小题2:In the USA, what may you do at first if you want to do some shopping?
A.To visit a professional street with lots of similar stores.
B.To compare prices in many shops in the same street.
C.To make phone calls and get better shopping choices.
D.To receive other customers’ answers to the questions.
小题3:The underlined words “a breeze” in Para.3 most probably means _________.
A.an easy jobB.a trouble  C.a funny thing  D.a boring task
小题4:Which of the followings shows American stores offer convenience to customers in this passage?
A.The store clerks don’t usually sit around watching TV or playing cards.
B.Some stores offer price bargain to the customers like a yard sale.
C.The clerks give customers a smile and a warm “thank you” after paying.
D.Some stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes are crowded.
小题5:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Customer Service in AmericaB.Excellent Stores in America
C.Shopping Rules in AmericaD.Being King or Queen in America

Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no different. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’m sorry to say that the men in the family – my dad, my younger brother and myself – rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat.
First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.
But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights – visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.
小题1:The purpose of the text is to ________.
A.tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day
B.tell how the family spends Thanksgiving Day
C.introduce foods served on Thanksgiving Day
D.introduce the American Thanksgiving Day

A.watching a movieB.making visits
C.having a big mealD.watching football
小题3:Why does the author’s mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks?
A.He is too thankful to say a word.
B.His mind is on the food before him.
C.He feels too excited to speak.
D.He is shy to speak in public.
小题4:The underlined phrase “dig in” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.chat with othersB.make a hole
C.mix things upD.start eating
小题5:What can we conclude from the text?
A.On Thanksgiving Day, men do nothing but eat.
B.The author is a middle school student.

D.Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday of December.

In many parts of the world cars play an essential role in daily life and many societies would stop to function without them. So the claim that in 20 years’ time no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously not only by governments but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean extremely large fuel savings, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself and it will not be owned by on individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture ,which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says cars will be fitted with intelligent cruise control devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. Brakes and accelerators (加速器) will become redundant(多余的) because the car will automatically speed up or slow down to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010 Dr. David Davis believes car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road whatever the weather conditions by projecting an image of the road ahead onto the car’s windscreen. And by 2020 cars will travel in convoy linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow(牵引) bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the ordinary fuel” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.
小题1:We know from the passage that governments and car manufactures ________.
A.don’t believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020.
B.are devoted to the technological innovation (创新) in car industry.
C.consider the predictions made by the researchers seriously.
D.have put the super-intelligent car into mass production.
小题2:Which of the following will NOT be the characteristics of the cars of 2020 ?
A.There will be no brake and accelerator in cars.
B.We will own as many cars as we want .
C.All cars will be driven by computers.
D.Car accident will no longer happen.
小题3:The expression closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “ in convoy”(Para 5) is ______.
A.in lineB.sidelongC.side by sideD.next to one another
小题4:What will happen if cars are linked to each other electronically in 2020 ?
A.Motorists will get a clear view of the road.
B.The weather conditions won’t have effect on motorists.
C.There will be a decrease in the pollution caused by car .
D.All trains will burn less fuel than present.

Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media web site has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn't seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for him to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all.
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I'm pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other. But he'll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I'm confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That's normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
Every day, the masterminds of Web 2. 0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a crutch. Some things shouldn't be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.
小题1:According to Paragraph l, the web site is famous because _______.
A.it has an interesting name of “Facebook”
B.it helps people get in touch with old friends
C.it can send people a greeting of some kind
D.it reminds people of events in the past
小题2:From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer _______.
A.would write to the friend quite often
B.asked the friend to e-mail him
C.did get some information about the friend
D.would keep in touch with the friend forever
小题3: Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.There are 35 people in the author's list of friends right now.
B.The author communicates with all the 35 friends by e-mails.
C.The list of 35 friends doesn't include the old e-mail addresses.
D.It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count.
小题4:What does the author think of the convenience of communicating on line?
A.The technology could not keep true friendship forever.
B.The social web site of Facebook means nothing at all.
C.There will be no ways of making real friends on line.
D.People will not lose friends with the help of the Facebook.
