FROM 1964 to 1978, Dazhai, with a population of 500, was the most famous village in China. Millions of Chinese came to the Shanxi village to visit its terraced fields (梯田) and "splendid" irrigation systems.
It was not until 1978 when Guo Fenglian, head of the village, paid a visit to the US that China's model village found how far it had fallen behind those in developed countries.
"I was astonished at their modern equipment in harvesting, which could even separate big tomatoes with small ones," said Guo. "American farmers' life quality also impressed me a lot. Every day they had two cups of milk, which is something we don't have even in our wildest dreams."
"We have to learn their advanced technology and administration for our own development," said then first Deputy Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping who was planning China's reform and opening up policy then. "Through opening our doors, we would not only take advantage of foreign funds (资金), but also create job opportunities and cultivate (培养) talents."
In 1978 Japanese electricity giant Panasonic (松下) came to China as the first foreign business to invest (投资) here and its success attracted other world brands into exploring the Chinese market. So far China has for 15 years taken in the world's second biggest foreign investment, following the US, to help set the country in a fast growth.
However, China's 30-year road of reform was not always smooth. Doubts on the reform began to rise at the end of the 1980s as many people worried the country would turn to capitalism (资本主义).
"The criterion for our judgment is whether it helps develop socialist productive forces, whether it helps increase the overall national strength of a socialist country, and whether it brings about better living standards," said Deng.
"China's reform and opening up is a unique success story. It has brought benefit to both China and the world," said William Keller, chief manager of a Swiss pharmaceutical (制药的) company.
【小题1】Guo Fenglian was ______ at the sight of the modern equipment in harvesting when she visited the US in 1978. 

A.shockedB.delightedC.excitedD.attracted
【小题2】______ was the first big country to invest in China. 
A.AmericaB.JapanC.SwissD.Panasonic
【小题3】Many people have doubts about the reform ________. 
A.in 1978B.in 1980
C.in 1981D.at the end of the 1980s
【小题4】According to remarks by Deng, which one is NOT the criterion for judging the success or failure of our work in various fields?
A.whether it helps develop socialist productive forces.
B.whether it strengthens the overall capacity of the country.
C.whether it brings about better investment and more profit.
D.whether it improves the peoples living standards.

D
The decision to enter F1 and compete at the highest level of motorsport was an intended move by Toyota, the world’s third largest auto manufacturer ,to further challenge its own capabilities. By going head-to-head with the industry’s top performers on the world’s premier racing stage ,the Japanese giant was setting itself a huge task. A sport with an enormous international following, the risks of entering the F1 arena are high—but there are rich rewards for those who succeed .Besides being a showcase for state-of-the-art technology, the intense competition in this most demanding of racing disciplines leaves no room for self-satisfaction. More importantly, it fosters(培养)the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that Toyota is seeking.
While F1 benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its competitors ,the demands placed on Panasonic Toyota Racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough experience as a team .Mistakes were made and valuable lessons were learned ,among which was the fundamental truth: “To stand still in F1 is to go backwards.”
With the past in mind ,preparations for the 2003 season included sweeping changes on both the technical and personnel(人事的)sides. The management at Toyota Motorsport GmbH was restructured , with John Howett moving from Toyota Motor Marketing Europe to become President ,thus enabling the company founder , Ove Andersson ,more time to concentrate on the operation of the race team at the track .Andersson’s value as an inspirational leader was one of the team’s biggest assets(财富)in 2002.
68.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.To go backwards ,Toyota has to stand still.
B.If Toyota doesn’t make improvements ,they will fall behind.
C.Keeping calm will help go forward.

B.Entering F1 is low risk but rich rewarding.
C.Toyota team has always been experienced.
D.Toyota made good preparations for the 2003 season.

TOKYO— At first glance, Japanese cellphones are young people’s favorites, with elegant design and quick access to the Internet. However, despite years of competition in overseas markets, Japan’s cellphone makers have little presence beyond the country’s shores.
The only Japanese cellphone maker with any meaningful global share is Sony Ericsson, and that company is a London-based joint venture(合资企业)between a Japanese electronics maker and a Swedish telecommunications firm.
And Sony Ericsson has been hit by big losses. Its market share was just 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 2009, behind Nokia of Finland, Samsung Electronics and LG of South Korea, and Motorola of Illinois.
This year, Mr Natsuno, who developed a popular wireless Internet service called i-Mode, invited some of the best minds in the field to debate how Japanese cellphones could go global.
“The most amazing thing about Japan is that even the average person out there will have a very advanced phone, ”said Mr Natsuno. Japan has 100 million users of advanced third-generation smart phones, twice the number of the United States, a much larger market. Many Japanese rely on their phones, not a PC, for Internet access.
Indeed, Japanese cellphone makers thought they had positioned themselves to dominate(支配)the age of digital data. But they were a little too clever. In the 1990s, they set a standard for the second-generation network that was refused everywhere else. Then Japan quickly adopted a third-generation standard in 2001. However, it made Japanese phones too advanced for most markets.
Several Japanese companies are now considering a push into overseas markets, including NEC. Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and Fujitsu are said to be planning similar moves.
“Japanese cellphone makers need to either look overseas, or exit the business”, said Kenshi Tazaki, a managing vice president at the consulting firm Gartner Japan.
【小题1】Through the first paragraph, the author intends to tell us that___________.

A.Japanese cellphones are popular with young people
B.Japanese cellphones don’t sell well abroad
C.Japanese cellphones are very advanced
D.Japanese cellphones are specially designed for young people
【小题2】The cellphone company with the largest global market share is located in______.
A.JapanB.AmericaC.South KoreaD.Finland
【小题3】Why are Japanese cellphone makers a little too clever?
A.Because their technical standards are too advanced to be accepted overseas.
B.Because they only produce advanced cellphones.
C.Because they used the second-generation network earlier than others.
D.Because their phones are more advanced than PCs.
【小题4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Japanese cellphone companies are unsuccessful.
B.Japan has more cellphone users than the US.
C.Japanese cellphone industry intends to expand overseas markets.
D.Going global—a difficult task for Japanese companies.

¤ While the 2008 Olympics were the first to be broadcast entirely in HD, the 2012 Olympics are the first to broadcast in HD as well as 3D. Sean Taylor, a spokesperson for Panasonic – provider of some of the technologies – said it effectively, “Each Games, from a technology perspective, tries to have a first. London will be the first HD and 3D Games.” The games were first televised in Berlin in 1936 and played on big screens about the city. Then came the first games to enter households (strictly in London that is) in 1948, followed by the first internationally televised games during the 1960 Olympics in Rome. And ever since, that feeling of physically standing in the crowd and watching these mighty contestants has only gotten clearer, more defined. Now, they more literally than ever actually compete in your living room.
§ A paradox is presented as the London games celebrate both the Industrial Revolution (a.k.a. the birth of pollution) and a spirit of committed environmentalism; London will be the first to actively measure its own carbon footprint during these games, designing a stadium and accommodations that cut-back on negative emissions when at all possible. They are also shooting for a world record via the “Javelin,” designed specifically to keep as many exhaust pipes at bay as humanly possible.
【小题1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The Industrial Revolution first happened in England.
B. 2012 London Olympics is the first to broadcast in HD.
C. People couldn’t see the Olympic Games on TV 80 years ago.
D. 2012 London Olympics is more environmentally friendly than before.
【小题2】What does the underlined word “paradox” probably mean in the text?

A.solid evidenceB.advanced thought
C.perfect opinionD.contradictory view
【小题3】Where does this text probably come from?
A.a novelB.a reportC.a diaryD.an essay
【小题4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The History of Olympic Games.
B.Two Firsts about 2012 London Olympics
C.2012 London Olympics --- Eco-Conscious Games
D.2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics
