    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中。

    　　When the US started the war in Iraq a year ago, Spain was a firm supporter．But on April 18, the Spanish government started to remove its troops, becoming the first country in the US-led coalition(联军)to bring its soldiers home．The person behind this surprise move is the new Spanish prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero．

    　　A few monthes ago, he was hardly known outside his small hometown in morthern Sain．Even a week before last month's general election, Zaatero was still considered an outsider for the top job．But just three days before the vote, a series of bomb attacks on three train stations in Madrid killed 191 people and injured som 1, 900．It was Spain's worst ever terrorist attack and it changed everything-even making Zapatero prime minister．

    　　From the beginning, the 43-year-old former lawyer, knew the weakness of Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and his hand-picked successor, Mariano Rajoy．About 90 percent of the Spanish people were against the war in Iraq and were unhappy that Aznar had taken them into it．So Zapatero promised：“If this party wins the election and the UN still can't take charge in Iraq, the new government will pull its 1.400 troops out of Iraq．”

    　　Despite focusing on this and other Aznar mistakes, Zapatero's chances of victory were still thin until the Madrid bombings．At first, the government blamed ETA, a separatist terror group from the Basque region of northern Spain．But later evidence suggested the attack was carried out by Al-Qaida(基地)members angry at Spain's presence in Iraq．

    　　The people were upset, and they showed this by voting for Zapatero．Many accused the government of hiding information about the bombings and only blaming ETA so it wouldn't lose to an anti-war vote．In a move that was as shocking to the world as his election victory, Zapatero chose to carry out his promise the day after he took office．And its effect could be long-lasting．As the situation in Iraq worsens, several countries are considering their positions．The US is worried that other coalition members might follow Spain's lead and also bring their soldiers home．

    (1)

    Why did the Spanish government try to hide the truth from the public at first?

    [　　]

    A．

    They feared the terrorists would escape．

    B．

    They were not quite sure who on earth made the attacks．

    C．

    They were worried that they would lose the coming election．

    D．

    They attempted to get rid of all ETA members．

    (2)

    What do you think mainly led to Zapatero's winning in the election?

    [　　]

    A．

    Zapatero used to be a good lawyer．

    The chance of Zapatero's victory was always very high．

    C．

    The public got to know the truth about the bombings and became worried．

    D．

    Zapatero received some support from the US．

    (3)

    What do you think would probably happen after Spain's move out of Iraq．

    [　　]

    A．

    There would be more terrorist attacks in Spain．

    B．

    Some more countries would bring their troops home．

    C．

    The US would also follow Spain's lead and pull their armies out of Iraq．

    D．

    The situation in Iraq would become better after Spain's move．

    (4)

    The main idea of the passage is that ________?

    [　　]

    A．

    Zapatero won the election and became Prime Minister of Spain．

    B．

    a series of bomb attacks happened in Madrid．

    C．

    Spain got its troops out of Iraq．

    D．

    the US feels worried about Spain's move out of Iraq．

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    A
    A Chinese graduate’s record – setting $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.
    The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale's new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, as well as fund(资助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.
    Some asked why Zhang Lei, who graduated from Yale less than 10 years ago, chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University, his alma mater (母校), for the donation. But a larger group of online users voiced support for Zhang's move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.
    "We should look at this news from an international standpoint," said Chi Fulin, professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform. Chi said although Yale gets the money,  the donation will also benefit China.
    "It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs, and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges." He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors, and Zhang's move should be regarded with "respect, understanding and encouragement".
    In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US, a larger part of financial aid comes from non – government organizations. "China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future," he said.
    Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving. "Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years. he said, “Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that."
    Zhang, who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002, worked for the Yale Investments Office. In 2005, Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd, a Beijing-based investment fund that manages $2.5 billion.
    56．Zhang Lei contributed such a large sum of money to Yale just         .
    A．to relieve the situation that Yale was lacking in money
    B．to pay Yale back for the free education he received
    C．to help change the pattern of the one – way assistance
    D．to promote the relationship between China and the US
    57．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Zhang Lei’s donation to Yale?
    A．objective  B．supportive C．opposed    D．unconcerned
    58．From the passage, we can see professor Chi Fulin argues that         .
    A．more Chinese should be involved in donating money to US
    B．the behavior of Zhang Lei is respectable and deserves praise
    C．government organizations matter much in exchange programs
    D．universities in China should take management more seriously
    59．As for Zhang Lei,          .
    A．his generosity made him world – famous overnight
    B．his company mainly serves the Yale Investments Office
    C．Yale shaped his life and taught him the spirit of giving
    D．he considers Yale his preference to Renmiu University
    60．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A．Act of Kindness set a record
    B．Individual donation makes a difference
    C．A new page for Sino – US relationship
    D．Donation to Yale caused debate

    The sales of the iPhone, which include both the iPhone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts' expectations, while the company's income plan for the second quarter was below analysts' forecasts, though Apple is known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.
    Som'6 analysts have said that for Apple to regain its growth, the company.needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for China, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. In China, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on Android(安卓) operating system, sold by many Chinese phone makers as well as South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co.
    But Apple says it's already enjoying strong growth in China. "We saw big growth in iPhones,"Chief Executive Tim Cook said.

Earlier this month, Mr. Cook met China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the world's largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iPhone.
    Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is working on a lower-end iPhone that could launch as early as this year. But one possible challenge for Apple in China is that low-pricod Android-based phones are getting better in terms of quality. A report from CLSA in late November showed that many smart-phones sold at about 1,000 yuan ( $160) came with higher-reso-lution screens, better cameras and more powerful processors than phones at that price did a year earlier.
