    LONDON—Archaeologists have discovered a smaller prehistoric(史前) site near Britain’s famous circle of standing stones at Stonehenge.
    Researchers have named the site “Bluehenge” after the color of the 27 Welsh stones that were laid to make up a path. The stones have disappeared, but the path of holes remains.
    The new circle, unearthed over the summer by researchers from Sheffield University, represents an important find, researchers said Saturday. The site is about a mile away from Stonehenge.
    Bluehenge, about 80 miles southwest of London, is believed to date back to about the time Stonehenge was built, about 5,000 years ago.
    Mike Parker Pearson of Sheffield University said he believed the path and stonehenge itself were linked to rituals(仪式) of life and death.
    Mike Parker suggested that the ancient funerary rituals began at a different circle site known as “Wood-henge”, which represented the world of the living. The bodies of the dead were then brought down the River Avon to Bluehenge, which represented death, and were finally carried along a ceremonial route known as the Avenue to Stonehenge.
    Bournemouth University Professor Tim Darvill, an expert on Stonehenge, told Britain’s Dail Mail that Bluehenge “adds to the richness” of the ancient site’s story.
    “This henge is very important because it forms part of the picture of ceremonial monuments in the area and puts Stonehenge into context,” Darvill was quoted(引述) as saying. “It’s no longer Stonehenge standing alone, but it has to be seen in context with the landscape.”
    小题1:How many henges are mentioned in this passage?
    A．TwoB．ThreeC．Four D．Five
    小题2:Who believed the Stonehenge is related to ancient ritual of death?
    A．Archaeologists from LondonB．Welsh researchers
    C．Mike Parker PearsonD．Professor Tim Darvill
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence “It’s no longer Stonehenge standing alone, but it has to be seen in context with the landscape.” in the last paragraph mean?
    A．Stonehenge has noting to do with Bluehenge
    B．Woodhenge represented the world of living in ancient times.
    C．Bluehenge represented death
    D．Stonehenge, Woodhenge and Bluehenge should be studied together
    小题4:From the passage we can learn that ______.
    A．researchers have named the site “Bluehenge,” because they have found blue huge stones there
    B．funerary rituals were carried out along the path starting from Woodhenge, River Avon to Bluehenge, finally Stonehenge.
    C．Bluehenge is 1 mile away from London
    D．Bluehenge dates back to 2000 BC

    Few of us haven’t read Cinderella(灰姑娘), the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻). Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured(特点) in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
    Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked(邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
    The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
    “The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson, “The focus is firmly on following your dream.”
    小题1:The first paragraph is mainly to ____________.
    A．build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream
    B．remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years
    C．tell us what is the Cinderella Story
    D．tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is
    小题2:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.
    B．Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.
    C．Not many people have a dream to be realized.
    D．The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.
    小题3:The passage is mainly about ____________.
    A．an introduction to a novelB．a review about a film
    C．a passage about dreamsD．an advertisement of Cinderella

    The insanely popular song from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever, gaining more than 808 million views on the popular media site.

    The record was previously held by another pop heavyweight, Justin Bieber, whose song“Baby”had a little more than 804 million views at press time. PSY made the announcement early today.
    Since its release，the song has outshone such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez’s“On the Floor.”and Eminem’s“Love the Way You Lie”.
    And in September，“Gangnam Style”also became the most liked video on YouTube，now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up．
    At the time of the announcement, the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying: “In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube. PSY，your certificate is waiting here at our office，come and pick it up any time!”
    Despite its massive popularity, the video shows no signs of slowing down, and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views.
    If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, “Gangnam Style”would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.
    It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody videos.
    It became a staple in the 2012 presidential elections with the now ramous “Mitt Romney Style” video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda(宣传)films promoting their supreme leader. Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.
    小题1:Which of the following ranks second in views on YouTube?
    A．Gangnam Style．B．Baby．
    C．On the Floor．D．Love the Way You Lie．
    小题2:Which statement about Gangnam Style on YouTube is wrong?
    A．It has become the most watched video．
    B．It has become the most liked video．
    C．It has won more than 5.4 million thumbs down．
    D．It has more than two hundred million views in three months．
    小题3:What does the statement made by the Guinness Book of World Records suggest?
    A．Some video gained more views than Gangnam Style．
    B．It is impossible that Gangnam Style should have 100 million views．
    C．Guinness Book of World Records has recognized Gangnam Style’s achievements．
    D．Guinness Book of World Records won’t believe Gangnam Style’s achievements．
    小题4: Gangnam Style is to _______ if it keeps its current rate．
    A．get more than one billion views
    B．get more than two billion views
    C．get more than 808 million Views

    小题5:What can we learn about Gangnam Style from the last paragraph?

    Most of the time, we choose colors for decorating based on our personal taste and our sense of aesthetics (审美学). But, a number of color experts believe that colors have an effect on our emotions and that it would be wise of us to be conscious of that before settling on a definite choice.
    Some of the effects of colors are well known and accepted by most people. In fact, those effects have been the subject of serious research and experiments and have been scientifically proven. But not all scientists agree on the validity (正确性) of the results.
    When we become interested in the psychological effects of colors, it is important to know that not all societies share our opinion of those effects on our emotions. What we hold as an "objective" observation on a color is often nothing more than a reflection of our cultural belongingness, which has attributed properties to that color for generations.
    Why is it not possible for us to hold a really objective discourse(论述)on the subject? In part, because it is very difficult to separate the psychological from the symbolic, the symbolic aspects are definitely cultural. Often, and this without our realizing it, they influence our understanding of colors and the following emotions - both psychological aspects. Black and white are good examples. In western countries, black is considered serious, dramatic and sometimes sad. People are warned against its potentially depressing effects on decoration. Black is the traditional color of mourning. White, on the other hand, is associated with purity, peace and optimism. For those reasons, white is the traditional color of bridal dresses. No one would think of attending a funeral in white. Any more than it would occur to a bride to wear black. We simply remain convinced that it is not in the "nature" of those colors. Yet, in certain oriental countries, it is white, not black that is the color of mourning.
    That having been said, there is some “overlapping” in the properties different cultures attribute to certain colors. For example, Feng Shui, the traditional Chinese philosophy that distinguishes between good and evil influences explains colors much in the same way as the majority of western color specialists. Is that to say that colors have real natural properties which all humans perceive(感知) in the same way or is the phenomenon an example of the cross-influences that affect the thinking of cultures brought closer to one another by a certain Venetian(威尼斯人) called Marco Polo? It is difficult to say.
    But, be that as it may, colors do affect us. And if you feel emotions for a certain color, note them and remember them. You may even wish to consider them next time you are planning to decorate. The decision is yours!

    BEIJING , March 9 --- The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars, media have reported.
    The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide, the Beijing News reported on Tuesday. The new rule has not yet been made public, said Li, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee.
    Under the old rules, the cars used by minister-level officials could be replaced as often as every five years, Li said. These officials will also keep the same cars when they assume new posts, he added.
    The new rule also reiterated(重申) that officials ranking below minister-or-governor-levels should not be allocated cars. The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand.
    “It violates the rules for lower-ranking --- even county-level-officials to be allocated cars,” Li said.
    Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated, as they account for a large expenditure (花费) of public funds every year.
    A survey on the Web news www.ifeng.com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to carry out because it is related to officials’ interests.
    “Local government departments had halted(中断) approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to work on new quotas(指标) under the new rules,” Li said. “The future reform of official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization.”
    Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago.
    Beijing’s standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal (市政的) government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month.
    Earlier this month, the Minister of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles.
    小题1:What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among officials?
    A．To promote a low-carbon lifestyle.
    B．To cut down the present huge expenditures of purchasing cars.
    C．To make good use of budgets for official cars.
    D．To solve the problem of severe traffic jam.
    小题2:How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new rule?
    A．Every 3 years.B．Every 5 years.C．Every 8 years.D．Every 10 years.
    小题3:What about the officials ranking below minister-or-governor levels in terms of official vehicles?
    A．They can still possess special cars.
    B．They can use their own private cars.
    C．They can use cars whenever officially necessary.
    D．They can be allocated second-hand cars.
    小题4:What is the public’s attitude toward the new rule’s fulfillment?
