    In today’s throwaway society，dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会)．
    Recently，Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year.Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner—largely through encouraging recycling—its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.
    The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of.The five councils (Edinburgh，East Lothian，West Lothian，Midlothian and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don’t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill.With this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.
    After the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city’s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar，offered an
    alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.
    Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.
    That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.Even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due to this，Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.(2011·湖北，C)
    小题1:The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.
    A．recyclingB．restoring
    C．buryingD．burning
    小题2:The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.
    A．reduce the cost of burying waste
    B．meet the EU requirements
    C．speed up waste recycling
    D．replace landfill sites
    小题3:The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.
    A．it came from a private company
    B．the council was not interested in it
    C．it was not supported by EU
    D．the local people were against it
    小题4:What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?
    A．To open a new landfill nearby.
    B．To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.
    C．To set up a plant for burning waste.
    D．To persuade people to reduce their waste.

    Limit the use of private cars, improve public transport and encourage the use of bicycles to control traffic congestion(拥挤) during the 2008 Olympics, experts from foreign countries advised Beijing on Friday.
    Professor Nigel Wilson, of the civil and environmental engineering department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said he was "supportive to the limiting of private cars during the Olympic Games", saying that in foreign countries, the method is also adopted during big events, but he was unsure about the approach.
    The government planned to keep an average of more than one million cars off the roads to improve traffic flow during the Olympics, said Liu Xiaoming, deputy director of the Beijing Traffic Committee, at the China Planning Network First Urban Transportation Congress.
    Sharing Wilson's view, Dr. Yoshitsugu Hayashi, dean of the Graduate School of Environmental Studies of Nagoya University, believed the reduction in car use should be achieved not by banning, but through incentives.
    "Drivers who don't use their private cars could be given points," he said, "and the points could be exchanged for goods from online shopping."
    Wetzel stressed limiting the use of company cars. "Governmental officials should also be encouraged to use public transportation or ride bicycles," he said, adding that he himself is a bicycle-rider in London.
    Matthew Martimo, director of Traffic Engineering with Citilabs, said the bicycle was China's advantage. "Limiting private cars is an idea worth trying but it is just a temporary solution," he said. "The real cause of congestion is high density of people in Beijing and many have cars."
    Beijing, with a population of 15 million, is home to more than three million automobiles, and the number is rising by 1,000 a day.
    Professor Wilson said the Olympic Games was a great opportunity for Beijing to think about traffic problems and develop transportation, adding that the city had already been making public transport more efficient. Beijing has promised to stretch its 114-kilometer city railway to 200 kilometers before the opening of the Olympic Games.
    “We are looking forward to borrowing Beijing's experiences and drawing from its lessons in preparation for the 2012 Olympics,” said Wetzel. 
    51. The underlined word incentives in paragraph 4 means_______.
    A. something that encourages people to try    B. online shopping
    C. points could be exchanged for goods       D. award
    52.It can be seen from the passage that ______.
    A. the government planned to forbid over 1 million cars to run on the roads during the Olympics.
    B. banning private cars is the best way to solve traffic congestion in Beijing
    C. Beijing now has 200 kilometers of city railway
    D. the use of company cars will not be limited
    53. Why did Wetzel stress “ he himself is a bicycle-rider in London”?
    A. To limit the use of company cars.
    B. To encourage governmental officials to use public transportation or ride bicycles.
    C. To show that riding bicycles is good for health.
    D. To show that he loves riding bicycles.
    54. Which of the following may be the reason for the traffic congestion in Beijing?
    A. The 2008 Beijing Olympic games.
    B. The number of cars in Beijing is rising by 1,000 a day.
    C. The large population in Beijing and the large number of cars.
    D. Public transport in Beijing is not efficient.
    55. The purpose of the passage is ________.
    A. to limit the use of private cars, improve public transport
    B. to encourage the use of bicycles to control traffic congestion during the 2008 Olympics
    C. to borrow Beijing's experiences and draw from its lessons in preparation for the 2012 Olympics
    D. to tell the advice given by foreign experts on traffic congestion during 2008 Beijing Olympics

    What is a six-letter word that immediately comes to mind when you need some information on the Internet? You probably thought of Google. But Google wasn’t always the name of the famous search engine. In fact, the original name was BackRub!
    BackRub was the name two graduate students gave to the new search engine they developed in 1996. They called it BackRub because the engine used backlinks to measure the popularity of Web sites. Later, they wanted a better name — a name that suggests huge quantities of data. They thought of the word googol. (A googol is a number followed by 100 zeros.) When they checked the Internet registry of names to see if googol was already taken, one of the students misspelled the word by mistake, and that’s how Google was born.
    Google is just one example of a name change in the business world. Many other companies have decided to change their names or the names of their products. Here are some more examples:
    Jerry Yang and David Filo, two young computer specialists, developed a guide to Internet content in 1994. They called it “Jerry and David’s Guide to World Wide Web.” But they soon realized that this wasn’t a very catchy name, so they searched through a dictionary and found a better one: “Yahoo.”
    Sometimes companies change their names because of the popularity of one of their products. In 1962, a young runner named Phil Knight started a company called Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, Knight decided to design and manufacture his own brand of shoes. He named the shoes after the Greek goddess of victory — Nike. Nike shoes became so well known that Knight changed the name of the whole company to Nike.
    小题1:According to the text, Google       .
    A．has been famous since 1996
    B．is a result of a spelling mistake
    C．means a number followed by 100 zeros
    D．is the original name of the search engine
    小题2:Jerry and David changed the guide’s name to Yahoo because the original name        .
    A．had been registeredB．had been forgotten
    C．was not attractiveD．was too short
    小题3:The company Nike got its name from        .
    A．its foundersB．its customers
    C．its popular productsD．its advanced techniques
    小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
    A．The name changesB．The history of Google
    C．How to choose a name?D．Why are names important?

    Science is a dominant theme in our culture. Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.
    This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to supplement a course in any science, to accompany any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or – independently of any course – simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. In addition, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are pervasive in our culture.
    We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women. This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not an unique incident but, rather, part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. In discussing these changes and contribution, however, we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist, one that uses male nouns or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals. To offset this built-in bias, we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she. This policy is far form being ideal, but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human race equally.
    We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.
    小题1:According to the passage, ‘scientific subculture’ means
    [A] cultural groups that are formed by scientists.
    people whose knowledge of science is very limited.
    [C] the scientific community.
    [D] people who make good contribution to science.
    小题2:We need to know something about the structure and operation of science because
    [A] it is not easy to understand the things that excite and frustrate scientists.
    Science affects almost every aspect of our life.
    [C] Scientists live in a specific subculture.
    [D] It is easier to understand general characteristics of science.
    小题3:The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who
    [A] are intelligent college students and lay person who do not know much about science.
    are good at producing various gadgets.
    [C] work in a storehouse of dried facts.
    [D] want to have a superficial understanding of science.
    小题4:According to this passage,
    [A] English is a sexist language.
    only in the scientific world is the role of women increasing rapidly.
    [C] women are making significant contributions to eliminating the inadequacy of our language.
    [D] male nouns or pronouns should not be used to refer to scientists.
    小题5:This passage most probably is
    [A] a book review.
    the preface of a book.
    [C] the postscript of a book.
    [D] the concluding part of a book.
    Vocabulary
    subculture       亚文化群（指在一个社会或一种文化内具有独特性的一群人）

    Women nowadays do not just want to work to help meet the rising costs of living and education for their children. They also want a career that will enable them to bring out their skills and use their potentials so that they can experience a sense of fulfillment and pride that come from achievements and success. Some careers that have been traditionally dominated(支配)by the male species have been made open and filled up by women as well. It is no longer a surprising occurrence today to see many women working as pilots, astronauts, engineers, in construction sites, and in the printing business that operates high­tech machines.
    Many women are also taking their chances on managerial and executive positions that mostly men are the ones sitting on. Many of them also do well in the line of education as teachers, deans and even presidents of universities. You can also see many women as lecturers and reviewers of different businesses. One example is that of the online printing company reviews where women usually have a say on what is the best choice for online printers for any marketing needs.
    From the income that women are getting from their work, they are able to maintain a family and able to provide a better education for their children and able to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.
    However, there are still pronounced biases (偏见) against women in high leadership positions. There still exists the so­called gender­role stereotyping. Women need help to cope with and manage the typical stereotyping of women workers and managers. Those who look for jobs advertised in the classified sections of the newspaper often discover that many corporate positions are closed to women. And most often than not, many give preference to men by indicating in their ads phrases such as “male preferred” or “male applicants only”. Even in some family run or owned corporations, seldom can you see women managers and presidents.
    Surveys show that although a man and a woman have the same level or handle the same position in an organization, the man would get a higher or bigger compensation package(薪酬) compared to women.  Because of this, many women are just contented，to be in subordinate positions in finance, human resources, sales, manufacturing and other supportive roles.
    There are still other barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potentials in the world of employment. Our culture does not encourage women to excel in government and in business­related jobs. Women who are able to make it on top and handle leadership roles are sometimes regarded merely as tokens. The abilities and skills of women are normally questioned by their own peers, and sadly even by other women.
    If you are a woman who have the interest, ability and drive to pursue management careers，career counseling is of great help to help you find direction and increase motivation to pursue your career goals. It will help you have the self­confidence to get you in the same career opportunities open to men in this society that still prefers men for top level positions.
    小题1:From the first paragraph we know that women________.
    A．work mainly to help meet the rising costs of living
    B．want to provide their children with better education
    C．also want to take some more challenging jobs
    D．have taken up some work that men can do well
    小题2:It can be inferred that in the past it was surprising to see women________.
    A．taking jobs outside home
    B．working as pilots or astronauts
    C．educating their children at home
    D．operating machines at home
    小题3:The underlined word “subordinate” in the 5th paragraph has a similar meaning to“________”．
    A．higherB．lower
    C．more rewardingD．less demanding
    小题4:What's the best title for the passage?
    A．Women working out of houses
    B．Women fighting against biases
    C．Women getting larger income
    D．Women aiming high in careers

    Here’s a movie—a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family.
    With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film (动画片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good.
    Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.
    But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).
    Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.
    Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”
    Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles—including Robin Williams as the cowardly' (胆小的）Fender (“I’m made of a metal called Afraidium”)—Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans.
    The first thing that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.
    Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated movie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film.
    Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example).
    But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.
    My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual，has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn’t go anywhere.
    Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat.
    BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming tomorrow.”
    BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.
    WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.
    IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story... YOU’LL LIKE THIS.
    小题1:This piece of writing is a _______.
    A．commercial advertisementB．film review
    C．movie posterD．literary essay
    小题2:The cast of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _______.
    A．Ewan McGregorB．Robin Williams
    C．Britney SpearsD．Halle Berry
    小题3:What is Shark Tale an example of?
    A．A great cast.B．A poor plot.
    C．Special effects.D．Clumsy animation.

    In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism--the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
    In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.
    There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
    The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
    小题1:The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is      .
    A．to share his idea with others in a new way
    B．to introduce two different systems of education through contrast
    C．to criticize the society that values memorization
    D．to prepare students for society
    小题2:Which is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．The system of education in the West is more creative than that in the East

    American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects no matter they are wealthier or not than he.
    Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself. If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is. He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear. The idea of a bank account(在银行开户) is too early for so small a child, although he can be made understand and enjoy saving his coins-not all of them, only a part of what he receives-to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account, parents may take him to the bank, open a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain quantity(数量) of money he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank saving grow as entry by entry(存入)is made. He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. The boy is a sorry child who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown projects his parents have chosen for him.
    小题1:What does the underlined word "piggy bank" refer to?
    A．Something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.
    B．A kind of bank run by the children.
    C．A bank whose building looks like a pig.
    D．A bank for children's saving.
    小题2:Which of the following statement is NOT true?
    A．Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by American parents.
    B．If an eight-year-old child receive 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he probably have most of it saved in the bank.
    C．American parents never interfere(干涉) with their children's use of their pocket money.
    D．American parents don't usually give their children much pocket money.
    小题3:Why does the author think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns?
    A．Because he can not manage his money and it keeps him in an unfavorable position.
    B．Because he can not learn the use of money through spending it himself.
    C．Because he can not have any other choice but to save, earn or spend money.
    D．Because he can not join the fellow in a sweet shop once in while.
