Counterfeit medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too much, too little or none of the active ingredients (原料) of the real thing.
People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases the counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen (醋氨芬). The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.
The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeits. The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries. The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.
But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify (鉴定). And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking (跟踪) codes for drug packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (全息图) on their products as a security device.

C．medicine companies don’t pay much attention to counterfeit drugs

D．it is very cheap and convenient to buy medicines online

A．It shows the danger of counterfeit drugs

B．Special tracking codes for drug packages are used to identify counterfeits.

C．Some measures are being taken to fight counterfeit drugs

D．It reveals the reasons why counterfeit drugs are widespread.

A．France.	B．America
C．New Zealand	D．India

小题1:D
小题2:C
小题3:A
小题4:C
小题5:D

本文作者主要讲述的是世界范围内存在的假药现象，主要集中在非洲，亚洲和拉丁美洲，分析了这一现象的原因以及人们为了解决这一问题所采取的措施。
小题1:D
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第一段. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too much, too little or none of the active ingredients (原料) of the real thing.像其他的假货一样，假货看起来像真的一样。但是假药里的原料和真药里的原料几乎完全不一样。可知这里的counterfeit与后面的the real thing表示相反的意思。故D正确。
小题2:C
【试题解析】细节题。根据第二段后2句The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.可知导致孩子去世的是这些假药，里面是有了危险的物质。故C项正确。
小题3:A
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第4段But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
可知一半的假药是在网络上面销售的，所以作者建议我们不要在网络上面购买药物，因为假的可能性很大。故A正确。
小题4:C
【试题解析】段落大意题。根据本段第一句Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs.可知为了和假药做斗志，已经采取了很多措施。接下来就列举了具体的措施。故C项正确。
小题5:D
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America和The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries可知非洲，亚洲和拉丁美洲假药的问题很严重，而且在工业化的发达国家，假药的问题不大。4个选项里，只有D不是工业化国家，同时也是亚洲的国家。故D项正确。
【长难句解析】
1.People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database.
【翻译】人们可以发生一个带有密码的短信，然后会收到一个回复的短信，这个短信证明他们所购买的是在数据库里所列出来的。
【分析】本句非常复杂。本句中的which引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面的message在定语从句中做主语，同时对于从句中有一个that引导的宾语从句，这个宾语从句中有一个what引导的主语从句。
2.Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (全息图) on their products as a security device.
【翻译】一些药物生产商和其他公司在他们的产品上放上被称为全息图的三维图片作为安全装置。
【分析】本句中的过去分词短语called holograms (全息图)作为定语修饰前面的名词three-dimensional images，因为两者之间构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词。相当于定语从句which are called holograms。

B
Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now，one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it，say some scientists.?
Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星)that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.?
Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one，the scientists say，we'll have a way to change its course.?
Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn't be cheap.?
Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500，000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall，it would be the end of the world. “If we don't take care of these big asteroids，they'll take care of us，”says one scientist. “It's that simple.”?
The cure，though，might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them，” said a New York Times article.
1. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?
[ A ]. They are heavenly bodies different in composition.
[ B ].They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
[ C ].There are more asteroids than meteoroids.
[ D ].Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.
2. We can conclude from the passage that_____ .
[ A ].while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world
[ B ].asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future
[ C ].the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime
[ D ].workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.
3. Which of the following best describes the author's tone in this pass age?
[ A ]. Optimistic. [ B ]. Critical. [ C ]. Objective. [ D ]. Arbitrary.

America is a country on the move. In unheard?of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 4 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.
It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 195s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise.
As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.

A.are to be further studied                     B.are self?evident
C.are yet to be proved                         D.are supported by scientific evidence
6.A growing interest in sports developed after___________ .
A.an increasing number of races were held in American cities
B.research showed their health benefits
C.scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV ads
D.people got the message from magazine covers and postage stamps
7.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Exercise-The Road to Health                 B.Scientific Evidence of Health Benefits
C.Different Forms of Exercise                  D.Running-A Popular Form of Sport
8.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “leveled off” in the paragraph 2?
A.“reached its lowest level in popularity”         B.“stopped being popular”
C.“stopped increasing in popularity”             D.“become very popular”

In Thailand，Bangkok city authorities have forbidden new tuk-tuks because they consider them noisy and polluting．However, the ban has largely been unsuccessful，as it has not changed Thai people’s preference for the inexpensive tuk-tuks over taxis．
In London，the city’s first ever mayor got rid of the red double-decker buses． which he thought were old—fashioned, by selling them to other countries．His plan worked．but Londoners were upset to lose the charming old buses that they believed represented the best of their city. They made their upset felt， when the mayor came up for re-election 1ast year．Most Londoners voted for his competitor, who promised to bring the bus back．Now, an improved version(版本)of the double-decker bus will hit London’s streets in 2012．
AS for San Francisco,   several cable cars remain in use but mainly as tourist attractions．They   are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips．
City transport symbols may have palace in their city people’s hearts，but it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world．As Londoners have proved，their continued 1ife depends on people’s willingness to fight for their survival．

A．To show the cultural significance of several cities’unique transport systems．
B．To introduce some old-fashioned means of transport, which are symbols of three tourist cities．
C．To use the old transport symbols to attract more tourists to visit the cities．

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A. B. C. D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Like many other parts of our lives today, education has become a global enterprise. In microcosm(微观世界), my school is proof of just how global. Monkseaton High School is an ordinary state-funded school of 850 students in the unfashionable part of northeastern England. Over the past seven years it has sent 12 students to American universities --- two of them to Harvard. Monkseaton has, in turn, attracted students from other countries, including Germany and Latvia. Monkseaton now almost routinely receives inquiries from students in Eastern European countries. Obviously, learning English is a big draw, but his pattern of student movement was unheard of five years ago.
The brain drain is a universal phenomenon, and countries that don’t face up to the new reality will be losing some of their most precious resources. The northeast of England is its poorest region, and has experienced a severe loss of highly qualified professionals-to-be. Some of the most able 18-year-olds are going to other parts of Britain, even to other countries. What is happening here is happening to Britain as a whole. Most noticeably, there is a growing trend of British students taking degrees in American universities. This year the number will break the psychological barrier of 1,000 students for the first time.
And what is happening at the secondary-school level is happening to higher education. Wherever they come from, today’s students have a very different perspective on education from their parents. Because of television, the Internet and their travels, these students see the world as a much smaller place than their parents once did. They are more confident in accepting the challenge of moving from one country to another, from one culture to another; in many cases they can even apply to schools over the Internet. Students are also more aware of the overall cost of education and are looking for value for money. Plus, for many, education linked to travel is a better option than education at home.
小题1: Why does the author say education has become a global enterprise?

A．Monkseaton High School used to be a very unfashionable school in the Northeast England.

B．Monkseaton High School is now one of the state-funded middle schools in England.

C．Monkseaton High School has sent two top students to the Harvard University in U.S.

D．There is now an extensive exchange of students among different countries.

小题2: What can we infer about northeast England from the passage?

A．It is one of the poorest regions in England.

B．It has experienced a severe loss of professionals.

C．It will face a more serious brain drain in the near future.

D．It is losing its young talents to other parts of the world.

小题3: According to the passage, students today have different perspective from their parents on the following EXCEPT that _________________.

A．education linked to travel is much better than education at home

B．overall cost of education should be considered against money value

C．moving from one culture to another is a welcomed challenge

D．the Internet is more popular and easier to access in the near future

小题4: The students today tend to see the world as a much smaller place NOT because __________.

A．they are having more exposure to the television programs

B．they are having easier access to the Internet

C．they are having frequent travels to the other parts of the world

D．they are having better communication with their parents

小题5: The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to __________.

A．tell us the benefit of globalization of education

B．analyze the causes for students’ moving trend in Great Britain

C．criticize the universal phenomenon of brain drain worldwide

D．draw attention to students’ moving from one country to another

“You are going abroad and will live there? Oh, wonderful! You are so lucky.”
Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But is it true all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting?
Specialists say that it isn’t that easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” (冲击) is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. “There are three stages of culture shock,” say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers adapt to their surroundings and finally enjoy their life there.
Culture shock arises from many obvious factors. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems such as the telephone, post office, or transportation may be difficult to work out. Even the simplest things become headaches. Still worse, the language may be difficult.
Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new selfimage.
Culture shock leads to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
小题1:When people move to a new country, they ________.

A．find their new life always wonderful and exciting.

B．dislike the new surroundings from the beginning.

C．quickly get accustomed to the new culture there.

D．will get used to the new life with certain difficulty.

小题2:Based on the passage, which of the following results from culture shock?

A．weather conditions and customs

B．public service and transportation

C．feeling homesick and disoriented

D．language communication issues

小题3:According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ________.

A．the fewer difficulties you will meet with abroad

B．the more problems you may have to face abroad

C．the greater success you are likely to make abroad

D．the less homesick you will eventually feel abroad

小题4:Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?

A．Cultural shock affects and surprises those who live in a new culture.

B．A new culture makes everything difficult except the simplest things.

C．Since culture shock is painful, we can never get over it completely.

D．Escaping by staying inside does solve the problem of culture shock.

Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨) of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道) .
With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish(美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.
小题1:What do many single people in Pairs complain about?

A．The difficulty in meeting people.

B．The idea of supermarket dating.

C．The items on their grocery list.

D．The inconvenience in shopping.

小题2:Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?

A．The dating supermarket is located in Paris.

B．The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.

C．People looking for love must get a basket of a particular colour

D．The dating supermarket has very good business.

小题3:According to the writer, a possible way to win a woman’s heart is to _______.

A．pick up a purple basket

B．Buy low-fat food

C．embellish your appearance

D．buy pet food

小题4:Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?

A．The supermarket dating is more convenient.

B．The supermarket dating is more casual.

C．The supermarket dating can be trusted more.

D．The supermarket dating is less expensive.

The kindly“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”wearing Han Chineseclothing and holding a fortune bag debuted (亮相) at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas．The final imageof the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competitionagainst“Santa Claus”，according to a report by Guangming Daily．

Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights，Christmas songs，Christmas trees，and the images of“Santa Claus”in recent days．As a matter of fact，foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people，particularly the youth.“Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings，”said noted writer Feng Jicai．More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day and Christmas．However，many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人)，and have never heard suona music．Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day，and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared．Under such circum-stances，even the“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”is unlikely to defeat“Santa Claus”．
However，it is not a bad thing to some extent．It constantly reminds people to restore the“true
face”of traditional festivals．China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day，Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays，which brings more paid leaves to the public，and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals．
In modern society，festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largelydepends on their understandings and usages by people．Compared with foreign festivals，traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior (次于) in cultural meanings，but lack of fashion sought by modern people．If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals，and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important，the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance (继承) of fine traditional culture will be cut off．
小题1:The second paragraph implies that______________________.

A．traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivals

B．all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near future

C．western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivals

D．the Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals

小题2:We can learn from the passage that______________.

A．an image designed by the Chinese people will be displayed

B．many foreigners know nothing about Chinese festivals

C．the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional culture

D．the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival

小题3:Many Chinese youth dislike traditional festivals because they think______________.

A．traditional festivals are out of fashion now

B．the historical culture is more difficult to understand

C．western festivals contain more cultural meanings

D．the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals

小题4:What would be the best title of the passage?

A．Gone are Chinese Traditional Festivals

B．True Face of Chinese Traditional Culture

C．Foreign Festivals Popular with Chinese

D．Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS．Santa Claus
