    Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an      36   of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been    37   only a few decades ago.   38  , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears    39   resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
    40   Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved    41   its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks    42   to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also    43   thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year,    44   travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is    45  to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
    Signs of Nanjing’s    46   wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen,    47   the father of modern China, looks    48   over a busy    49   area.
    There is perhaps no more    50   symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May.    51   offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
    Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and    52  student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music    53   in all sorts of places.
    On a larger    54  , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract    55   from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

    ★The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻). Psychologists say that sending/receiving messages or looking through the many menu options your mobile phone has, lowers a person’s IQ by almost 10 points. British researchers have named this situation “infomania”. Instead of fixed on what they are doing, people’s minds are constantly focused on reacting to the technology surrounding them. This means they don’t pay full attention to the work they are paid to do. The report also added that the brain can not do so many things at once. If you try to do too many things, mistakes begin to occur. And while modern technology can have huge benefits, too much use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social life.
    ★The more televisions 4-year-old children watch, the more likely they are to become bullies later on in school, a newest U.S. study said. At the same time, children whose parents read to them, take them on outings and just generally pay attention to them are less likely to become bullies, said the  report from the University of Washington. Researchers also found gaps in learning and understanding such things as social skills early in life makes it more difficult for children to relate with other children. Watching violence on television leads to aggressive behavior.
    ★You could soon be able to add your favorite perfume to your e-mails. UK net provider Telewest Broadband is testing a system to let people send e-mails over the Internet with sweet smell. It has developed a kind of hi-tech air freshener that plugs into a PC and sprays a smell linked to the message. Telewest says it could be used by supermarkets to attract people with the smell of fresh bread or by holiday companies seeking to stir up images of sun-kissed beachers.

      If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
    The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
    It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc. .
    I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something  just  on  a screen.
    小题1:.
    . What is the best title for the passage?
    A The Best Way to Get News
    B The Changes of Media
    C  Make Your Own Newspaper
    D The Future of Newspaper
    小题2:.
    In the writer’s opinion, in the future,_____.
    A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
    B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
    C newspapers will cover more scientific research
    D more and more people will watch TV
    小题3:.
    From the passage, we can infer____.
    A newspapers will win the competition among the different media
    B newspapers will stay with us together with other media
    C television will take the place of newspaper
    D the writer believes some media will die out
    小题4:.
    . The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means____.
    A depend on       B compete with                   C fight with       D kill off

    With fears of a possible nuclear meltdown(核反应堆堆芯的熔毁) in Japan building up, evidence has come to light that the nation received warnings over the stability of its power plants from an international watchdog more than two years ago.
    　　As the Telegraph is reporting, an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in December 2008 that safety rules were out of date, and strong earthquakes would cause a “serious problem” for the power stations.
    　　A U.S. embassy document, by quoting（引用）an unnamed expert, states: “He (the IAEA official) explained that safety guides for earthquakes have only been updated three times in the last 35 years and that the IAEA is now re-examining them. Also, the presenter noted recent earthquakes in some cases have gone beyond the design basis for some nuclear plants, and that this is a serious problem that is now driving earthquake safety work.”
    　　The Telegraph also reports that the government responded to the warnings by building an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant designed to resist magnitude-7.0 earthquakes. Friday's earthquake, originally named a magnitude-8.9 shock, has since been upgraded to magnitude-9.0.
    　　Other nuclear experts state IAEA officials had willingly ignored lessons from the Chernobyl disaster to protect the nuclear industry's expansion, reports Bloomberg. “After Chernobyl, all the force of the nuclear industry was directed to hide this event, for not creating damage to their reputation,”Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreyev tells Reuters, before noting that radiation from spent fuel rods（棒）stored close to reactors at Fukushima looked like an example of putting profit before safety. “The Japanese were very greedy, and they used every square inch of the space. But when you have a dense(密集的) placing of spent fuel in the basin, you have a high possibility of fire if the water is removed from the basin.”
    小题1: From the passage, we know that ____________.
    A．people fear that the nuclear meltdown will possibly become more and more serious in Japan
    B．people are becoming more and more afraid of a possible nuclear meltdown in Japan
    C．Japan made no response to the warnings over the safety of its power plants
    D．Iouli Andreyev warned Japan not to store spent fuel rods close to reactors
    小题2: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Japan was warned of the stability of its power plants when they were built over 2 years ago.
    B．Safety guides for earthquakes should be updated three times in 35 years.
    C．The emergency response centre at the Fukushima Daiichi plant can not resist Friday’s
    earthquake.
    D．IAEA officials advised Japan to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster.
    小题3: IAEA officials were willing to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster because they want ________.
    A．to put profit before safety.B．the nuclear industry to develop
    C．to protect the reputation of JapanD．every inch of land to be made good use of
    小题4:The writer develops this passage mainly by__________.
    A．making comments B．providing facts
    C．quoting what experts say D．analysing what happened

    In the future your automobile（汽车） will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
    For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
    Robot Helpers
    Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
    Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
    So why hasn’t it happened?  Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
    Telephones of Tomorrow
    In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
    Why? The technology worked fine, but it over—looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy（隐私）. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower（淋浴）?  Probably not---it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
    And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
    小题1:
    The whole passage is mainly about ________________.
    A．predictions that have come true.B．predictions that haven’t come true.
    C．why predictions don’t come true easily.D．what technology will bring about.
    小题2:
    The author of this passage won’t believe that _________________.
    A．predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
    B．the future isn’t always easy to guess.
    C．not all past predictions have come true.
    D．many of the high—tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now
    simply never appeared.
    小题3:
    The underlined word “weird” probably means __________.
    A．wonderfulB．stupidC．practicalD．strange
    小题4:
    What does the author think of the flying car?
    A．It is too difficult to imagine.B．It is too crazy an idea.
    C．It is likely to be made.D．It is often reported in the news.

    A group of students in Japan have created a realistic robot baby to motivate young people to start planning a family so as to increase the country’s birth rate. The automated (自动化的)doll developed at the University of Tsukuba, called Yotara, laughs and “wakes up” when a rattle is shaken.
    He can become angry and sleep like a real baby and he smiles when his stomach is pressed. The robot can also sneeze and have a runny nose, thanks to a heated water pump system. The students of the Graduate school of Comprehensive Human Science at the university created the robot last year with touch sensors. A projector sends the facial features onto a warm silicon balloon which makes up Yotara’s face. The robot’s facial expression and body movements change according to pressure applied to different parts of its body.
    The information collected through touch sensors（传感器）under the silicon skin is processed by a special programme. It then changes the baby’s expression projected onto the balloon-face from behind. There is a hat on the robot’s head and a colorful blanket covering the robot’s limbs which simulate wiggling(摆动) with the help of a geared motor. “We wanted to create a new type of robot that is soft, cuddly and cute,” said project leader Hiroki Kunimura.
    “We’d like people to experience the innocent, joyful expressions typical of small babies. Through this experience, it would be great if some people started feeling that they wanted to have their own baby, if they started feeling that work is not everything.”
    Japan’s birth rate is among the lowest in the developed world at 1.37%, compared to 2.12% in the United States and l.84%in Britain. Japan is facing serious economic consequences with over a quarter of its citizens expected to be aged over 65 by 20l5.The population is expected to reduce by a third within 50 years if the birth rate does not increase．
    小题1:. What is the students’ purpose of creating such a baby?
    A．To help old people who live alone．B．To give small children some pleasure
    C．To comfort lonely young people．D．To increase the population of Japan．
    小题2:What’s the new type of robot like in Hiroki Kunimura’s mind?
    A．It can do everything for humans．B．It is clever, humorous and loyal．
    C．It is gentle, lovely and smart．D．It makes humans unhappy．
    小题3:. What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Many young people in Japan don’t want to get married．
    B．There may be a lack of workers in Japan in the future．
    C．The lifespan(寿命)of Japanese people will decrease in the future．
    D．The birth rate in Japan will start to increase slowly soon．

    Astronauts’ meals have come a long way from the free-dried powders and semi—liquid pastes of decades ago，now US scientists want to grow vegetables in mini—greenhouses on the moon．
    Scientists say they are looking forward to a time when residents of future lunar or even Martian outsteps will be able to dine on fresh vegetables．Paragon Space Development Corporation has unveiled what it called the first step toward growing flowers——and eventually food on the moon．
    This is a sealed greenhouse that looks like a bell jar encased in a 46-cm triangular aluminiumframe．It is designed to safely land a laboratory plant on the lunar surface，and protect it while it grows．
    The miniature greenhouse is to be launched into space by Odyssey Moon Ltd, a participant in the Google Lunar X Prize. This competition offers $21 million to any entrant who can launch, land and operate a rover on the lunar surface.
    Paragon officials say future testing of the “Lunar Oasis” will be driven by Odyssey’s flight Schedule, which will not happen until 2012 at the earliest．
    When it does lift off the greenhouse will contain the seeds of Brassica, a hardy plant related to Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Because Brassica goes from seed to flower in just 14 days, it can complete its life cycle in a single lunar night.
    “Colonizing the Moon or Mars seems so far away，but it is important that we do this research now. ”Paragon president Jane Poynter said．
    “It takes a long time to get a lot of research, and to get integrated, reliable efficient systems before colonists move in. ”she said．
    小题1:The article is written mainly to__________．
    A．predict the astronauts’ meals in the future
    B．introduce an experiment “Lunar Oasis’’
    C．tell us the future development of astronomy
    D．focus on the human’s great progress
    小题2:The article implies that__________．
    A．astronauts can grow flowers in space at present
    B．Paragon and NASA will carry out the test separately
    C．Lunar Oasis is a series of experiments carried out in space
    		D．the earliest testing of the Lunar Oasis may be in 2012
    小题3:The underlined word “colonists” in the last paragraph probably has the meaning of______．
    A．plantsB．wild beastsC．human beingsD．scientists
    小题4:The seeds of Brassica will be contained in the greenhouse mainly because _________.
    A．their life cycle is much shorter
    B．they are more nutritious than other food
    C．they are related to Brussels sprouts and cabbage
    D．they are very delicious
