Dealing out a little hope

  The young man at the local gas station is quick with a joke and knows his customers by name.He's the kind of guy who will take a day off without pay in order to appear as a witness to a traffic accident.He's my son.

  One day, less than a week after the place had been broken into overnight, the store was suddenly invaded(闯入)by three people grabbing food off the shelves.He hit the “panic button”(按钮)and then went over the counter and locked the front door.It was obvious they were homeless.

  Imagine what they must have felt like when, instead of being told they were headed for prison, they were told they didn't have to steal if they were that hungry.“ We have food in the back, expired(过期的)but still safe to eat, that we plan on giving to a homeless shelter…”.

  They were told to pick up what they had dropped and put it back, then asked to straighten out the mess they'd made of the store.They were doing just that when the police arrived.The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer necessary.

  This wasn't what they had expected.They were being treated as human beings who had screwed up(搞砸)but could right the wrong they'd done.Shocked, because they knew that the homeless were never welcome to use “public restrooms” in private businesses, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.

  Soon three cleaner people, standing just a bit taller than before when they came in, walked out with all the food their arms could hold.They were reminded that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.

  That day, when it would have been so much easier just to hand the three people over to the police and be done with it, my son gave them something they were in desperate need of-a small amount of self-respect and a little bit of hope.

  One of Britain's most popular reality TV programmes has returned to our screens for a fifth series.The Apprentice sees 16 ambitious individuals competing for a job with electronics tycoon(巨头)Sir Alan Sugar.

  The Apprentice is a BAFTA award-winning British reality television series in which fl group of aspiring young businessmen and women compete for the chance to win a£100,000-a-year job as“apprentice”to the British business tycoon Alan Sugar, The Baron Sugar.Winners have gone on to work at Amstrad, an electronics manufacturing company founded by Sir Alan(but since sold to BSkyB), or one of Sugar's other companies, Viglen, Amsprop or Amshold.The Apprentice, billed as a“job interview from hell”, is similar in format to the American series of the same name, which stars entrepreneur Donald Trump.

  With endless talk of financial crisis, redundancies(过剩)and cut-backs, it may come as no surprise that thousands of brave hopefuls applied for the show.The chosen 16 will compete in a series of business tasks and do their best to escape elimination.Not one of them wants to hear the fateful words:you're fired.

  It should also be noted that this year's apprentices are not going, to be allowed to forget the terrible economic climate quite so easily.At the launch of this year's TV show, Sir Alan announced that some episodes have been“specifically made towards recognition of what difficult times we are in”.

  The tasks will as usual be tough tests of business wisdom。team-working and leadership skill.They will also make for some funny viewing.British viewers will be shaking their heads in disbelief at the crazy decisions of the wanna be apprentices.But perhaps the most entertaining feature of the show will be watching the hopefuls squirm(局促不安)and quarrel in the。boardroom.It is here they will have to explain just why they have failed each task so badly.

  What drives people to take part in the show is difficult to say.Some are clearly motivated by the promise of a six-figure salary and some claim they want the experience of working with a successful businessman such as Sir Alan.One thing is for sure.the contestants will all gain some level of celebrity.The show is a regular ratings winner.

  To date, there has been one big winner and that is the show's creator, Mark Burnett.Originating in the US, The Apprentice's winning format has been copied all over the world and with the hype(炒作)surrounding this latest series, it looks as though the show will have success for many years to come.

(1)

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (="drink)" containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.

Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc.

As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard unti1 somebody figures out how to give it a second life — and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life va1ue.Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.

Shrinking landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.

1. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?

A. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.

B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.

C. Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.

D. Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.

2. The returned plastic bottles in New York used to        .

A. be turned into raw rnateria1s

B. be separated from other rubbish

C. have a second-life value

D. end up somewhere underground

3. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is         .

A. how to reduce their recycling costs

B. to sell them at a profitable price

C. how to turn them into useful things

D. to lower the prices for used materials

4. Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because         .

A. recycling causes litt1e pollution

B. other methods are more expensive

C. recycling has great appeal for the jobless

D. local governments find it easy to manage

5. It can be concluded from the passage that          .

A.    recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally

B. local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recycling

C. rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials

D. landfills will sti1l be widely used for waste disposal

11【题文】  With its budget of $80 million , John Woo as director, and an all-star cast(明星云集的演员阵容), Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever. Last week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows.

But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao's from my Zhou Yu's, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn't so sure he was the man I should be rooting for.

And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy(侦探)and an innocent northern soldier. The characters' interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle.

Clocking in at(结束于)around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained(精疲力竭) as Cao Cao's soldiers must have 1,800 years ago.

41.By expressing “boy oh boy” in the first paragraph, the author seems to show that _______.

A.the film characters are like boys who are childish.

B.the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience.

C.the film is suitable for younger boys to watch.

D.the film scene is so bloody that boys shouldn’t watch it.

42.When did the author change his attitude toward Cao Cao?

A.When he read the history story about Cao Cao.

B.When he saw Cao Cao was watching a game of Cuju,

C.When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies.

D.When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy.

43.The following factors of the film are all mentioned in the passage except_______.

A.high budget

B.leading roles

C.actors and actress

D.conversations

44.From the passage we can infer that_______.

A.the author is a football fan in a foreign country.

B.Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football.

C.the film Red Cliff 2 lasts about two hours.

D.the author was very tired after about two hours’ battle.

13【题文】The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved, but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury.

Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of the iPhone 3G's high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time. That's great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of AT&T(美国电话电报公司) (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. That's not so great in cities like New York where AT&T's cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It's just a toy. You can't make phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time."

The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location — provided by the iPhone 3G's GPS chip — to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network.

57.The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _______

A.It looks and feels better

B.It has a faster network

C.It is easy to locate a place

D.It is too expensive for people to buy

58.Why do one of my colleagues carry Verizon phone with him all the time? ______.

A.Because iPhone 3G is just a toy.

B.ecause he prefers Verizon phone better.

C.Because AT&T's cellular coverage is terrible there

D.Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time

59.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage. ____.

A.App Store will offer you great fun.

B.many apps have been developed for the iPhone.

C.Most apps are very expensive.

D.Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites.

60.From the passage we know that the attitude of the author toward iPhone 3G is _____.

A.doubtful

B.appreciative

C.optimistic

D.pessimistic

14【题文】Birds that are half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.

Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.

Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.

Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time.

“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say.

The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.

Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.

Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.

65.According to the passage, birds often half sleep because ______.

A.they have to watch out for possible attacks

B.their brain hemispheres take turns to rest

C.the two halves of their brain are differently structured

D.they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions

66.What is implied about the example of a bird’s sleeping in front of a mirror?

A.An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security.

B.Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.

C.The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.

D.A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror.

67. While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to ______.

A.alert themselves to the approaching enemy

B.emerge from water now and then to breathe

C.be sensitive to the ever-changing environment

D.avoid being swept away by rapid currents

68.By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that ______.

A.half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weather

B.the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solved

C.most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepers

D.half-brain sleep may exist among other species

15【题文】People in China, as in other parts of the world, are waiting to see how U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will deal with global problems such as the current economic slowdown once he takes office. As Sam Beattie reports from Beijing, there is widespread hope for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation.

For many students in Beijing, Mr. Obama symbolizes all that is possible in the United States. He's a popular winner here, seen as a self-made man who has made it to the top.

"I think he is very charming, and a president who can create a new era," said Zhang Wei, a university student. "I like him very much and most of my friends do too." Ni Weibo, another university student, agrees. "Sino-U.S. relations still need more cooperation," she said. "I think he will help take it to a new era."

China's President Hu Jintao congratulated Mr. Obama within hours of his victory, saying he hoped bilateral ties could be made stronger.

Political analysts here say China will be looking for the incoming president to avoid contentious issues such as Taiwan's independence, human rights and Tibet.

Instead, they say Beijing would like Mr. Obama to focus on solving the global economic crisis, and to help China's slowing economy by opening up U.S. markets.

But trade relations might be a sticking point, says Renmin University's Professor of International Studies, Shi Yinhong.

He warns, "There is a possibility that President Obama will take some protectionist measures which China will not accept, then trade disputes could develop to a degree that we have not seen ever before."

Despite making the headlines, Mr. Obama faces some tough challenges in managing the U.S. relationship with China. China is now a stronger and more confident country than the China his

predecessors dealt with. And in this time of economic uncertainty, analysts say it's a country with which Mr. Obama will want to maintain a good relationship.
