    School tragedy
         A man wounded eight school children to death and injured five others while they were waiting at their
    school gate in Nanping City, Fujian Province, on the morning of March 23.
         Police arrested(put somebody into prison) 43-year-old suspect (嫌犯) Zheng Mingsheng, a former
    community doctor in Nanping. Zheng is a native of Nanping and used to work at the Mazhan Community
    clinic (诊所), before quitting his job in June 2009.
         The local prosecutor (检查官) said on March 24, Zheng, who showed no sign of any mental illness in
    conversation, told investigators (people who were looking into the case) that he developed hatred (feeling
    of hating somebody or something) toward society after failing to find a job and breaking up with his
    girlfriend.
    A Spring Festival
         Water-Sprinkling Festival, which comes in mid-April, is the new year of the Dai ethnic people (傣族人)
    in southwest China's Yunnan Province. In face of the recent serious drought disaster, there have been calls
    for calling off this year's festival celebrations.
         Droughts and floods are not new things. Still, the Water-Sprinkling Festival keeps going on year by year.
    Indeed, this is a serious drought, but that is not a reason to call off this year's celebrations. After all, it is an
    important event for Dai people to carry forward their culture.
         Of course, the drought will affect the celebrations to some extent. Given the seriousness of the disaster,
    this year not so much water is available for sprinkling. So many Dai people suggest only symbolic activities
    be held. They also call for donations to be made and prayer ceremonies for rain around the festival. This is
    expected to be a special Water-Sprinkling Festival.
    Coalmine Disaster
        A coalmine operated by Dongxing Coalmining Co. in Xinmi, Henan Province, where an underground fire
    killed 25 miners on March 15 became a public concern.
         A local work safety regulator said the mine should have been going through technical reforms, but restarted
    production without a license.
         After the tragedy, the police detained (扣押) an investor and several senior managing persons of the
    coalmine. Four officials who are believed to have failed to perform their managing roles effectively, including
    a vice mayor of Xinmi, were removed from their posts.
    1. The suspect created a bloody case mainly because _____.
    A. he caused a medical accident during an operation in the clinic and was fired
    B. his girlfriend left him and married a teacher in that school
    C. he became mentally disturbed after a set of failures in finance
    D. he hated the whole society deeply after a series of failure in personal life
    2. What happened to Dai people this year? _____.
    A. Their Water-Sprinkling festival was called off thanks to the drought in Yunnan
    B. They had to celebrate their annual Spring Festival simply without enough water
    C. People throughout our country only donated to those earthquake-stricken areas in Qinghai
    D. Their prayers for rain didn't come true
    3. _____ probably led to Dongxing Coalmine disaster according to paragraph 2.
    A. the restarting production without necessary technical and safety gurantees (保障)
    B. an underground fire
    C. the officials' failure to inspect the safety conditions of the coalmine
    D. the bad management of Dongxing Coalmining Co. in Xinmi, Henan Province
    4. Where can the news possibly be taken from?
    A. A magazine about natural disasters
    B. A newspaper on culture and custom
    C. A news review magazine
    D. A government report
    1-4: DBAC

         China's College Entrance Examination (CEE)in 1977 and 1978 changed the fate of a group of
    Chinese people with large age differences and from all walks of life.Thirty years later, some of them
    anxiously wait outside exam spots, praying for good luck for their only child.
         The Chinese describe the CEE, or gaokao in Chinese, as "thousands of troops on a singlelog bridge
    " because of the limited number of places at universities.For students in the countryside, the tough exams
    may be their only opportunity to escape the hardship of country life.
         A survey conducted by the Ministry of Education and the China Youth Daily showed 89.6% of
    those people felt their fate was changed by the exam.Among those who said their fate was "totally
    changed", 69.1% came from the countryside and only 30.9% were from cities.Some Chinese think too
    much emphasis is placed on having a university diploma (文凭). It is believed that a person will not find
    a proper job without a college certificate, and that there are increasingly fewer jobs even for college
    graduates.
         Although the CEE is still a major means of selecting people for higher education after 30 years of
    development, the society has gradually adjusted its standard.
         A lot of people think that the CEE needs reforming, but these reforms will have to be gradual.While
    debates over the exam continue, more people believe it is the only open, fair and just way of talent
    selection.

         Airplanes are polluters. They're as noisy as a rock concert, and send out poisons into the air as well as
    dump millions of pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. By 2050, emissions (排放)
    from planes are expected to become one of the largest contributors to global warming. 
         That's why researchers at MIT are designing a completely new type of airplane for NASA that will
    enable greener airplanes to take flight before 2050.
         The 180-passenger D"double bubble" series was designed to replace the Boeing 737 class aircraft, the
    most popular jetliner in the world right now. The design is called a "double bubble" because it uses two
    partial cylinders (气缸) placed side by side. Those two cylinders create a wider structure that looks like two
    soap bubbles joined together.
         In today's commercial airplanes, air flows directly into the engines located on the plane's wings. That
    high-speed air flow drags on the plane, and requires more fuel to overcome the design inefficiency.
         MIT's design changes all that. By moving the engines to the plane's tail, they take in slower moving air
    present in the wake of the fuselage (机舱). Less drag means less fuel is needed to get the plane the same
    distance.
         Burning less fuel can help passengers' wallet as well as the environment. The environmental implications
    of saving energy are as just as clear: the fewer emissions that planes spout into the atmosphere, the healthier
    our planet.
         But for passengers, we still have a couple decades to wait before any of these planes make it onto the
    runway. NASA's goal is to make sure the planes that MIT has designed can take off by 2035.
    1. The best feature of the double bubble flight is that _____.
    A. it will make no noise
    B. it will hold more passengers
    C. it is designed to save fuel
    D. it needs no runways to take off
    2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
    A. Emission from planes are contributing the most to the global warming
    B. Airplanes are very noisy for the environment
    C. MIT's new design will save passengers' money
    D. It's expected that NASA's goal will be realize by the year 2035.
    3. What's the main idea of the text?
    A. Here is Boeing 733's terminal
    B. Researchers are designing greener aircraft
    C. Passengers will enjoy lower prices
    D. Airlines attract passengers with new planes
    4. The passage will come from a ____. 
    A. News report
    B. Science fiction
    C. Travel diary
    D. Business magazine

         Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer
    interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
         Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne,
    Switzerland, demonstrated (展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.
         In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He
    could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
         "Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to
    give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals
    from reaching the muscles," Tavella says. "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external
    world and also to control devices."
         The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp
    (头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized
    wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react
    to commands from the brain.
         Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain
    signals and turns them into simple commands. "The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled
    people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this
    wheelchair."
         He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology
    they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of
    time.
    1. BCI is a technology that can _____.
    A. help to update computer systems
    B. link the human brain with computers
    C. help the disabled to recover
    D. control a person's thoughts
    2. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
    A. By controlling his muscles.
    B. By talking to the machine.
    C. By moving his hand.
    D. By using his mind.
    3. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?
    A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
    B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
    C. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
    D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
    4. The team will test with real patients to _____.
    A. make profits from them
    B. prove the technology useful to them
    C. make them live longer
    D. learn about their physical condition
    5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center
    B. New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
    C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
    D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries

         A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes,
    they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.
         Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won't agree when they see their packets
    of cigarettes lying on the table.
         The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage
    cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage
    young smokers.
         To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer.
    Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.
         "The true fact of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,"
    said David Byrne, an EU health official. "Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for
    cigarettes."
         The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of
    cigarettes. The warning included "smoking kills" and "smoking can lead to a slow and painful death".
         So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and
    warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers.
         According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more
    than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.
    1. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. New Ways to Stop Smoking.
    B. Pictures to Shock Smokers.
    C. New Packets of Cigarettes.
    D. Dangers of Smoking.
    2. Which of the following is NOT the true fact of smoking?
    A. Disease.
    B. Death.
    C. Horror.
    D. Happiness.
    3. We can learn from the text that _____.
    A. the EU countries have put the new warning method into practice
    B. only a small number of the EU countries have used the new warning method
    C. the new warning method has worked in some EU countries
    D. countries in the EU still use the old warning method
    4. Which country is most successful in stopping smoking?
    A. Ireland.
    B. Belgium.
    C. Canada.
    D. EU.
    5. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that _____.
    A. it's hard to stop smoking in EU
    B. deaths caused by smoking could have been avoided
    C. smoking is the biggest cause of deaths in EU
