    Tens of millions of Internet users make       most of the half-price promotion and it is    good opportunity for online shopkeepers to get their names known.

    A．a; theB．/; theC．the; /D．the; a

    D

    解析试题分析：句意：成千上万网络使用者使用半价促销的方式，使店主老板有机会使自己出名。make the most of尽量使用，是固定短语。opportunity是可数名词,这里不表特指，故用不定冠词。
    考点：考查冠词的用法。
    点评：本题难度适中。冠词是高中学生必须掌握的知识点，虽然在初中就提到冠词，由于冠词的用法太多，做题时必须根据不同的语境来确定用哪一个冠词。冠词在固定短语中的考查也是近几年的热点。
    即学即练：It is clear that ________little money the invention will bring him can hardly support so large ________company.
    A．/；the　　　 B．a；the        C．a；/　　　 D．the；a
    解析：D。句意：很显然，这项发明带给他的不多的钱很难支撑如此庞大的一个公司。此题的关键在于hardly 的暗示，说明钱不多或很少，用little 表示“少量的，不多的”，后面又有定语从句修饰，故其前应加定冠词the；第二空处是so＋adj.＋a＋可数名词结构。

    B

    KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNN) - Nepal has given its security personnel permission to shoot pro-Tibet demonstrators during China's Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit early next month.

    "About 25 soldiers and policemen have established camps on the mountain and they have been ordered to use force if necessary to stop any anti-Chinese activities," Mod Raj Dotel, spokesman for the home ministry, said Sunday. "This could mean shooting if necessary."

    Security personnel will also check mountain climbers for non-essential expedition materials, Dotel added.

    "If anyone is found with anti-Chinese material their permit will be canceled and returned from the mountain," he said.

    Chinese climbers plan to take the Olympic flame to the top of the world's highest peak, at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet) as part of the global relay leading up to the August 8 opening of the Summer Olympics in Beijing.

    Spring is the most popular season for climbing Mount Everest, which straddles(跨越) the border between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.

    The Nepali government has given permits to dozens of climbers from 30 expeditions this season.

    But between May 1 and May 10, climbers are barred from going above 6,400 meters until the torch run is completed. China plans to take the Olympic flame to the summit sometime then.

    Bad weather conditions allow only about two opportunities in May for a push to the summit.

    The Chinese have not allowed any expedition to climb the mountain from the north side, according the Kathmandu representative of the Tibet China Mountaineering Association.

    Almost every day in the past month, Nepalese police have arrested pro-Tibet protesters from in front of the Chinese Embassy and the United Nations offices. The demonstrators are released later in the evening.  

    Supporters of Tibet punish the government's attitude toward the autonomous region, and many believe China should not have been awarded the honor of hosting the Olympic Games.

    Earlier torch relay stops in London, England; Paris, France; and San Francisco, California attracted tens of thousands of demonstrators. They led to attacks on the torch and relay participants, and prompted police to make dozens of arrests.

    Subsequent stops in Argentina, Tanzania and Oman were trouble-free.

    In Pakistan, authorities closed the relay to the public. And India shortened the relay and kept thousands of anti-Chinese protesters at bay by sealing off roads and shuttering buildings along the route.

    The relay went smoothly in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday, amid heavy security and scattered protests along the route.

    The flame arrived in Malaysia on Sunday. About 1,000 police officers will be on hand to watch for protesters during a relay in the capital city Kuala Lampur Monday.

    61．When will China's Olympic flame probably reach Mount Everest's summit?

    A．April 28     B．May 12        C．June 10        D．May 7

    62．The underlined word “barred” means_____________.

    A．permitted      B．stopped        C．encouraged     D．introduced 

    63．How many times Climbers can reach the top of the mountain at most in May?

    A．once             B．twice   

    C．three times            D．as many times as they can

    64．Where did the torch relay meet no trouble?

    A．India          B．Nepal     C．Tanzania         D．France

    65．What is the attitude of the Nepali government towards towards China's Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit?

           A．negative         B．positive        C．ambiguous           D．Indifferent

    阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

    Sleepless in Seattle? Hardly. West Virginia is where people are really staying awake, according to the first government study to monitor state-by-state differences in sleeplessness. West Virginians’ lack of sleep was about double the national rate, perhaps a side effect of health problems such as obesity(肥胖), experts said.

    Nearly 1 in 5 West Virginians said they did not get a single good night’s sleep in the previous month. The national average was about 1 in 10, according to a federal health survey. Tennessee, Kentucky and Oklahoma also were notably above average with nearly 1 in 7 people reporting in a lack of sleep. In contrast, North Dakota was below average, with only 1 in 13 reporting that degree of sleeplessness. Health officials do not know the exact reasons for the differences.

    In the survey, people weren’t required to answer the question why they were not able to get enough rest or sleep. But experts noted several possible explanations: West Virginia ranks at or near the bottom of the nation in several important measurements of health, including obesity, smoking, heart disease and the proportion of adults with disabilities.

    Studies have increasingly found that sleeping problems often occurred among people with certain health problems, including obesity. “You would expect to see poorer sleep within a chronically (慢性地) diseased population,” noted Dr Ronald Chervin, a sleep disorders expert in University of Michigan.

    Financial stress and work shifts(倒班)can play roles in sleeplessness, too, Chervin added. He suggested those may be contributing factors in West Virginia, an economically depressed state with tens of thousands of people working in coal mining.

    The report was based on results of an annual telephone survey of more than 400,000 Americans, including at least 3,900 in each state. The survey did not include people who use only cellphones.

    What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? (No more than 15 words.)

    What does the underlined word “notably” in Paragraph 2 mean? (No more than 3 words.)

    What was the possible reason for the high rate of sleeplessness in West Virginia according to Paragraph 3?  (No more than 12 words.)

    List three factors that contribute to sleeplessness based on the passage.

    (No more than 8 words.)

    ①______________________ ②________________________ ③______________________

    How was the research carried out? (No more than 10 words.)

    Barack Obama made his victory speech in Chicago after a hard-fought campaign.

    Democratic Senator Barack Obama has won the US presidential election, and will become the 44th President of the United States-the first African-American in the country's history to do so.

    President-elect Obama marked his victory with a speech to a crowd of tens of thousands of people in his hometown of Chicago.

    Obama described his election as a "defining moment' in the history of the United States, saying that "change has come to America".

    The BBC's spokesman in Washington says that in electing Barack Obama, the American people have expressed their unhappiness with the present state and rejected their country's historical racial divisions.

    The Australian Prime Minister summed up how many people felt when he congratulated President-elect Obama.

    “Forty-five years ago Martin Luther King had a dream of an America where men and women would be judged not on the colour of their skin but on the content of their character. Today what America has done is turn that dream into a reality," said Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

    President-elect Obama will not take office until 20th January next year. However, when he does become president, he will face many serious challenges, including two foreign wars, climate change and what he has described as " the worst financial crisis （经济危机）in a century."

    But the mood of the country is optimistic, according to most commentators, and Obama himself appears to enjoy the challenge.

    "The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be difficult. We may not get there in one year or even in one term, but America--I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there," said the next President of the United States.

    42. According to the passage, it seems that in the United States, _____________.

    A. people may still be treated unequally because of their color of skin.

    B. people are experiencing two civil wars.

    C. Americans are enjoying the economy developing.

    D. People are not satisfied with President-elect.

    43. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that________________.

    A. the attitude of American people to their country's future is not clear.

    B. Obama has confidence in American future and ready to face it.

    C. the road to America will be long.

    D. the change of America is not hard to achieve.

    44. What is probably the best title to the passage?

    US universities are among the best in the world. Since World War Ⅱ, American scientists --- mostly working in universties or colleges --- have won more than half of all Nobel Prizes in physics and medicine. Foreign students rush to the United States by the tens of thousands. Last year they earned more than one quarter of the doctoral degrees awarded in the country. Yet while American universities produce the great research and great graduate program, they sometimes pay little attention to the task that lies at their very core: the teaching of undergraduate students.

    With the increase in fees, educators feel obliged to improve undergraduate teaching. In speeches and interviews the nation’s higher educators have rediscovered teaching. Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association of American Universities,  said,  “Our organization was never very concerned about teaching. In the last 18 months, we have spent more time on undergraduate education than on any other subject.”

    Despite such promising efforts, no one doubts that research still outranks teaching at some of the leading universities, not least because it is a surer and faster way to earn status. Some people don’t think it has to be that way. They argue that the reward system for college faculty can be changed, so that professors will be encouraged to devote more time and effort to teaching. They say that they are beginning to believe that the first ten years of the 21st century may come to be remembered as the decade of the undergraduate.

    That would bring it full circle. For more than two centuries after the founding of Harvard College in 1636, the instruction of undergraduate students was an essential condition of American higher education.

    1.According to the passage, at some of the leading American universities ________.

    A．research is declining in importance          B．teaching now ranks above research

    C．teaching is a sure way to gain position        D．research still ranks above teaching

    2.It is implied in the passage that about 200 years ago undergraduate instruction ________.

    A．began to change all of a sudden

    B．was already threatened by research work

    C．was the central part of higher education

    D．began to be neglected in most universities

    3.What would be the best title for the passage?

    A．University education in the US             B．University education challenged

    C．Teaching and research in universities        D．Undergraduate teaching rediscovered
