【题目】New York Wednesday, October fifteenth, is the first Global Hand Washing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌). They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.

The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.

It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.

【1The most suitable title for the text would be _____.

A. Hand Washing Brings Good Health

B. Hand Washing Gets a Day of Its Own

C. It Is Soap That Matters

D. Partnership for Hand Washing Takes Action

【2The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to _____.

A. call on people to wash hands

B. help the developing countries

C. promote the importance of soap in hand washing

D. make a culture of hand washing in the third world

【3The following facts can explain why soap is important EXCEPT that _____.

A. soap gives people a longer hand washing time

B. soap helps to get rid of more germs off hands

C. soap attracts people to do more hand washing

D. soap gets people into the habit of washing hands

【4According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that _____.

A. kills half of the kids in developing countries

B. causes the greatest number of child deaths

C. can be prevented by washing hands with soap

D. makes soap stand out in hand washing

【题目】Tang Zhou and his wife are planning to have their second child, a test-tube baby. His wife had a natural delivery when she was 34 and their first child, a boy, is now 7. The couple are now hoping to have a daughter through a surrogate mother in the US. “My wife couldn’t bear another delivery because of her heart condition and her age. Surrogacy helps avoid the risks to older mothers,” Tang said, “Moreover, our second child will be born in the US and become a citizen there. That is not a bad choice.”

The couple spent weeks researching their move, looking for a reliable agency that provides surrogacy services overseas. Surrogacy is still illegal in many countries, including China. “We will be taking much higher risks by relying on a surrogate mother in China because we are not protected by any regulation or law. You pay a lot of money but may meet with many problems,” Tang said. “You might not even get your baby back.”

Tang and his wife are part of an increasing number of Chinese couples who are turning to surrogacy services. Tang also considered surrogacy in Thailand but dropped the idea after recent reports about a baby with Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症) who was delivered through surrogacy and said to have been deserted in Thailand by the biological parents from Australia. Instead, Tang chose the California Surrogacy Center agency as his first option after reading the detailed introduction on its website. Compared with many other agencies that he could contact only via e-mail, the center has a consulting office in Beijing, Tang said.

The center is in San Diego, California, and has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Beijing. According to Liu, the center has been operating for more than eight years, and about 100 surrogate mothers live in California.

1】“A surrogate mother” refers to a mother who _______.

A. acts as a baby-sitter

B. nurses another woman’s baby

C. offers service to a new mother

D. gives birth to a baby for another woman

2】Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. Chinese couples prefer to have a test-tube baby.

B. Couples face no risks in surrogacy services.

C. A sick test-tube baby was deserted in Thailand.

D. Unhealthy test-tube babies can be legally abandoned.

3】Tang and his wife turned to overseas surrogacy services because _______.

A. surrogacy remains illegal in China

B. they call for less money

C. it is more convenient to contact them

D. most of them are experienced

4】The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A. an old woman can take a risk of delivering a baby

B. more Chinese couples are turning to surrogacy

C. it’s not a bad choice to have a baby born overseas

D. biological couples may fail to get their babies back

【题目】【改编】Robots industry is developing so rapidly that there is no denying that we may one day find ourselves surrounded by robots.

The humanoid (human like) robots with two legs such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.

But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.

“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”

While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs.

Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu Laboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡逻) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共场所), are working on this.

Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its stomach to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.

In guide mode, it will check a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”

Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (图标) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.

The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.

Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.

“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.

【1】From the passage we can know____.

A. robots will replace human one day

B. robots are difficult to control

C. robots can do whatever humans do

D. robots will be widely used in our life.

【2】According to Shimoyama, robots are ____?

A. safe. B. friendly.

C. stupid. D. kind-hearted.

【3】What can “Enon” do?

A. Show you to the toilet.

B. Show you around the market.

C. Tell newcomers or tourists direction.

D. Help shop assistants.

【4】What is the peoples concern about robots?

A. Safety. B. Appearance.

C. Weight. D. Disadvantages

【5】What can be the best title of the passage?

A. The disadvantages of robots.

B. The development and use of robots.

C. The benefits that robots brings.

D. The history of robots.

Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.

Newspapers often have information on gardening, cookery and fashion, as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons.
