         Xiangzi - Lucky, in English - is appropriately named. His owner Qiu Hong, a sports marketer,lets the
    dog enjoy two daily walks,a collection of imported American toys, $300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment. When Ms. Qiu feels bored, she takes Xiangzi out for a long
    run in her car.
         In a sense, Xiangzi is not just a dog, but a social phenomenon - and, perhaps, a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen.Twenty
    years ago,there were hardly any dogs in Beijing, but now there're 900,000 registered dogs with countless
    thousands of others unlicensed. How this came to be is, in some ways, the story of modern China as well.
    "People used to be focused on improving their own lives, and they weren't really acquainted with raising
    dogs," said Ms. Qiu. "But with the improvement in the economy, people's outlooks (观念) have
    changed."     
         Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives, but mostly Beijing dogs have, as in the West, become objects of affection - even devotion - by their owners. It's easy to find dog-treat stores,
    dog Web sites, dog social networks, dog swimming pools - even, for a time recently, a bring-your-dog
    cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row.
         The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart. In 1994,
    Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to "severely restrict" dogs. In 2003,it was changed again to
    allow anyone to own a dog, but to limit city dogs to no more than 35 centimeters in height. And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out.
         As for sti-fried Pekingese (京叭狗) - well, that dog,too, may have seen its day. A formal suggestion
    to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen, who considered himself "not so much a dog lover as a China lover". "With China developing so quickly, more people should know how to treat animals properly," he said in 3 telephone interview.
    1. What's the main idea of the first paragraph?
    A.Xiang Zi is a clever dog.
    B. Xiangzi lives a happy life.
    C. Qiu Hong has a lot of money.
    D. Qiu Hong is very busy.
    2. Paragraph Four mainly shows that Beijingers_____.
    A.Iive under too much pressure
    B.Iove dogs evry much
    C.are good at making money
    D.have modernized their city
    3.Judging from the article,we can know that______.
    A.Pet owners can be as devoted as the dog    
    B.there were no dogs in Beijing before 2003
    C.Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practice  
    D.Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only
    4.Which is NOT mentioned in the article?
    A.China's economical development.    
    B.The psychological problems in modern society.
    C.People's attitude to wards animals.    
    D.The problems caused by dog keeping.
    5.Which can be the best title of the article?
    A.Chinese Dogs Are Lucky
    B.Dogs Help Humans Live Better
    C.Dogs Reflect China's Rise
    D.Dogs Enjoy More Freedom In Beijing

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在正确选项上画勾。

    Genghis Khan

    　　Genghis Khan, the great Mongol conqueror, was born in about 1162. His father, a petty Mongol chieftain, named the boy Temujin, after a defeated rival chieftain, and for some years the surviving members of the family lived m constant danger and poverty. This was just the beginning, Temujin's situation was to become a lot worse before it got better. When he was a young man, he was captured in a attack by a rival tribe. To prevent his escaping, a wooden collar was placed around his neck. From then on, he was kept as a prisoner in a primitive, barren country, There Temujin rose to become the most powerful man in the world.

    　　His rise started when he managed to escape from his captors. He then allied himself with Toghril, a friend of his father's, and chieftain of one of the related tribes living in the area. There followed many years of cruel warfare among these various Mongol tribes, in the course of which Temujin gradually fought his way to the top. The tribesmen of Mongolia had long been known as skilled horsemen and fierce warriors. Throughout history, they had made unexpected attacks into northern China. However, before the rise of Temujin, the various tribes had always spent most of their energy in fighting each other. By a combination of military power, diplomacy, ruthlessness and organizational ability, Temujin managed to join all of these tribes together under his leadership, and in 1206 a meeting of the Monglo chieftains proclaimed him Genghis Khan, or “the universal emperor”.

    　　The powerful military machine that Genghis Khan had assembled was then turned outward upon neighboring nations. He first attacked the Western Xia state in northwestern China and the Jin Empire in northern China. While these battles were going on, a strong disagreement arose between Genghis Khan and the Khwarezm Shah Muhammad, who ruled a considerable empire in Persia and central Asia. In 1219, Genghis led his armies against the Khwarezm Shah. Central Asia and Persia were overrun, and the Khwarezm Shah's empire was completely destroyed. While other Mongol armies were attacking Russia, Genghis Khan himself led a raid into Afghanistan and northern India. He returned to Mongolia in 1225, and died there in 1227.

    1．What became of Temujin after his father's death?

    [　　]

    A．He was driven to despair.

    [　　]

    A．horse-riding and fighting

    B．farming and horse-riding

    C．hunting and horse-riding

    A．spreads all over it in large quantities

    B．the river is so full that the water flows over its edges

    C．to defeat a place or an area and take control of it

    　　Recent years have seen groups of people like Yin retrace the march．Two Englishmen finished their new Long March in 2003．This summer students from 13 universities took part in a relay to cover the full route．In this way they figured out what young people could learn from the Long March．

    　　Lin Lu, a 17-year-old girl said the Long March encouraged her to work hard during Senior 3．“Like the soldiers, I believe in myself and that I can win a place at my dream school．” However, she said her bitterness is nothing compared to that of the army．“They lost their lives, but all that I lost was a few hours’ sleep．”

         Wang Lu, 24, one of many students studying abroad who’ll come home for work, majors in business & management studies at Edinburgh’s Napier University. She had planned what to do after graduation in the UK: two years’ work experience at a restaurant and a tour around Europe. But now her plans are up in
    the air.
         Following the UK Home Secretary’s meeting on reform of the student immigration system, the UK
    government recently announced the end of the post-study work visa from April 2012. This will force tens
    of thousands of Chinese students to leave the UK after graduation.
         Sadly, the domestic（国内的）job market doesn’t welcome them with open arms. A report by
    Tigtag.com at the end of 2011 showed that over 35 percent of students admitted that they have
    employment problems.
         "Returning students often have fluent English, creative minds and a serious attitude toward work,"said
    Zhang Tingwen, an HR expert in ChinaHR.com. “But lack of work experience is a big problem.” Xia Lei, an HR manager, responded to Zhang. “We need people who can work for us. We don’t need people
    from big name universities to attract customers”.
         Difference in work practices is another problem that worries employers, Zhang pointed out. “Some
    returning students might be used to Western ways of dealing with people and things.”
         Huang Shanshan, 25, got a job in a communication company in Shenzhen.“I once worked part-time in UK. My colleagues ate snacks when they felt hungry, even during working time or in meetings.” Huang
    brought some cakes to the office and ate them. When her manager saw that, he told her not to eat at
    workplace. “It took me some time to adjust to company rules in China,” said Huang.
    1. Why is Wang Lu forced to leave the UK after graduation?
    A. Because post-study work visa will come to an end.
    B. Because she has no effective ways to learn English.
    C. Because there are no majors that suit her in Britain.
    D. Because different work practices worry employers.
    2. From Xia Lei, we can learn that _______.
    A. the domestic job market gives welcome to returnees with open arms
    B. employers prefer people who can work to those from top universities
    C. returnees are used to Western ways to deal with people and things around
    D. it is hard for returning students with creative minds to take work seriously

         The 100-kilogram blue solar car invented by 10 students at Southwest University's College of Engineering
    and Technology in Chongqing has a top with four solar panels that charge the battery that powers the auto.
    Its speed is between 30-40 kilometers per hour and when fully powered the car can be driven as far as 50
    kilometers. "The car is easy to drive. A person without any driving experiences could learn to use it in several
    minutes. It fits for campus and the golf course," said He Daijie, the leader of the invention team and a senior
    at the college. Or if one prefers it can be turned into moped scooter (电动助力车), he said.
         Four students at Shenyang University of Technology in Liaoning Province invented a door light powered
    by electrical energy produced by opening and closing a door. When people open or close a door, the door
    produces mechanical energy that could be turned into electrical energy. After numerous tests for several
    months, the students fixed a joint lever above the door that connects the door and a speeding gear case to drive
    a generator attached to the door and send energy to storage cells. The storage cells provide electrical energy
    for the light.
         A college student's dorm door is opened and closed about 60-100 times a day, which could produce 160-
    280 milliamps of electrical energy. It takes 160 milliamps to keep a light working for at least 10 hours, said
    Xia Yingbiao, one of the invention team members and a mechanical designer and manufacturing and automation
    junior. If these lights were used with the invention at the entrances in Shenyang schools, about 700,000
    kilowatt hours a year would be saved, the team said. The university is applying patents for the invention.

    1. Where is the first invention mainly designed to use?
    A. On the traffic roads.
    B. In parks and gardens.
    C. On campus and the golf course.
    D. In kindergartens
    2. The car is charged ____.
    A. with solar panels at the solar station
    B. with solar panels on its top
    C. through the wires at public places
    D. through the wires at home
    3. Where does the power of door light come from?
    A. Electricity through wires.
    B. Mechanical energy by opening and closing the door.
    C. Sun panels on the building top.
    D. Batteries charged before being used.
    4. From the two inventions, we can see that ____.
    A. students could design for the future
    B. inventions are not so difficult
    C. these inventions are valuable but not practical
    D. inventions can't lack knowledge and money

         If, for some reason, you had 2,010 empty plastic bottles, what would you do? You'd probably sell
    them cheaply, right? But Xia Yu collected 2,010 bottles and built a boat with them. As you read this, Xia
    is, in fact, on a river somewhere in Anhui, slowly going towards his destination: the Expo Garden in
    Shanghai. 2,010 plastic bottles were to celebrate the Expo 2010 Shanghai. On the opening day of the
    Expo, Xia, together with five friends, went on a 1,500 km journey from Xiangtan to the Expo Garden, in
    spite of the doubt whether they'll make it.After all, the boat they are on can hardly be called a boat. It cost only 2,000 yuan to build in a month.
         What's keeping Xia going is a major cause behind the trip. "We are examining water pollution through
    our journey and trying to promote a lowcarbon lifestyle. Before we started, no one believed we could sail
    the boat to the Dongting Lake. But we made it." But as they expected, the journey has not always been
    smooth. Of the six from Xiangtan, four gave up. As of press time (截至发稿时), only Xia and his friend
    Huang Ying were on the boat.Huang suffered from a disease when they reached Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province.Xia said,"There are so many things that can stop us from making it to Shanghai, like the weather, health,
    and sometimes swift river water."
         "The boat was produced in a factory according to our design, and perhaps it's not in a very good
    condition. But," Xia  said, "we are wearing life jackets." "Some boats passing by offered help." What is
    more of a reward for Xia and Huang is that the Yangtze River turned out much cleaner than they had
    expected. Although Xia and Huang are uncertain about the journey ahead, they are "quite happy" with
    what they have already achieved. "After all, it's not the destination that counts. It's always the course that
    matters the most."
    1. Xia Yu doubts the success of the journey because of _____.
    A. such a long journey on the river
    B. the poor boat and the bad weather
    C. few people taking part in the journey
    D. the seriously polluted river in some parts
    2. Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the journey?
    A. To examine water pollution.
    B. To celebrate the Expo 2010 Shanghai.
    C. To win a race on the water.
    D. To promote a lowcarbon lifestyle.
    3. From the text we know that _____.
    A. they stay on the boat at night
    B. three people gave up due to their bad health
    C. Xia Yu and his mate have arrived in Shanghai
    D. Huang suffered from a disease on the journey
    4. The last paragraph tells us Xia Yu and Huang Ying _____.
    A. pay more attention to the process
    B. are sure to arrive at the destination
    C. helped turn the Yangtze River cleaner
    D. are happy because of their final success
