    Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people overnight.  No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China.  Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift—the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”
    The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
    Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood-Our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.
    With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what we should do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?
    “Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely,” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.
    Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
    “With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.

    The Spanish exploration was the beginning of the history of San Francisco Harbor. That long history is celebrated at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. The park’s main visitor center is only a few hundred meters from the waters of the great harbor. It is a memorial to the great ships and those who sailed them.
    The visitor center holds many objects linked to the past of the great harbor. There are small ships, ship equipment, and hundreds of beautiful old photographs. Many visitors stop to look at a large painting of a huge sailing ship named the Balclutha.
    Visitors who look at the painting can go out through the front door of the visitor center and see the real Balclutha. People walking near Fisherman’s Wharf often do not believe their eyes when they first see the Balclutha. Almost everyone stops and looks at the huge ship. The ship looks almost new. Several years ago, more than one million dollars was spent in repairing and painting it. Now, more than two hundred thousand people a year visit the ship.
    The Balclutha is perhaps the most popular ship with visitors at the Maritime Park. However, there are also several other ships which are very important to the history of the great harbor. But not all of these ships are open to the public. One that is open is a small steam-powered workboat, called the Hercules. The Hercules was a tugboat. Until 1924 it pulled ships around the harbor.
    Another boat popular with visitors is the Eureka. It was built in 1890. It is the largest wooden ship still floating today. The Eureka was a ferryboat. It carried people and cars across the bay. It did this until the Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland Bay Bridge were built.
    The park also has a very unusual looking museum. It is a large building that almost looks like a ship. The museum is filled with interesting equipment. One of the most interesting objects in the museum is a small sailboat called the Mermaid, which is only large enough for one person to sit in.
    小题1:The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refers to _________.
    A．the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

    A．show the history of the great harbor
    B．tell us each ship has its own features
    C．tell us which one is the most popular

    She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
    The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louver Museum(卢浮宫) where it is housed.
    “The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
    Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
    However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.  
    In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louver by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War Ⅱ, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
    小题1:We can infer from the text that_______
    A．the Mona Lisa is proved to be able to last another 500 years
    B．Mona Lisa’s beauty is fading gradually with 500 years passing by
    C．the Mona Lisa has been catching people’s wide attention in the past 500 years
    D．Mona Lisa does not look out of date though painted 500 years ago
    小题2:Which of the following is true about the Mona Lisa?
    A．It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.
    B．Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.
    C．Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles.
    D．King Francis I bought it and then returned it to Italy.
    小题3:Choose the right order about the happenings onto Mona Lisa.
    a. It was stolen from the Louver.
    b. Its painter sold it to King Francis I
    c. Its state of health was checked.
    d. It was returned to France and housed in the Louver Museum.
    e. It was hidden and protected against Germans.
    A．b-a-d-e-cB．d-e-c-b-aC．d-a-e-c-bD．b-c-a-d-e
    小题4:It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting that_____.
    A．experts haven’t noticed changes in its shape as visitors do
    B．it is likely to be stolen again when it’s under repair
    C．it is uncertain which country, Italy of France, should take charge
    D．experts aren’t sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paint

    C
    No one can believe that the over 6,300-kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty, is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called "great" mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
    The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty(221 BC-206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
    Few local people knew the 3-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
    The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements. The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.
    It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.
    64. Why does the writer say the Great Wall might disappear?
    A. It is useless from now on.
    B. It will be replaced by a new one.
    C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.
    D. It is too old to be used again.
    65. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A. The Great Wall was completed in the Ming Dynasty.
    B. Not all the foreign tourists like the Great Wall.
    C. The first part of the Great Wall was built in 221 BC.
    D. The Qin Great Wall was protected well.
    66. The underlined part "those sections far away from the public eyes" (in Paragraph 2) refers to the parts of the Great Wall _____.
    A. that are too difficult to find
    B. nobody can watch
    C. that are too far to be seen
    D. that are not well-known to the public
    67. What's the main reason of the Great Wall's being destroyed?
    A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.
    B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
    C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.
    D. The local people sell the bricks for a living.

    From Japan to Indonesia, a certain kind of pop culture is very hot. But it doesn’t come from Hollywood—it’s Hallyu(韩流), the wave of Korean pop culture that has washed over Asia. It has influenced everything from music to television. And thanks to the Internet and social media, it’s now spreading worldwide.
    South Korea produces all types of entertainment, the most popular being music, soap operas and films. What makes Hallyu so hot in Asia? One reason is that its products are of high quality and much cheaper than western products. Another reason is that eastern cultures are similar to each other, although there are language differences.
    Korean pop music, or “K-pop”, ranks the first everywhere. Fans love the songs and the attractive stars. Companies like SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment help many K-pop stars, such as Super Junior, Big Bang and Rain, to succeed. They are not only popular in Asia but also enjoy popularity in the West. In 2011, Big Bang’s mini-album Tonight reached the top 10 on U.S. Tunes Top Pop Albums. When SM Entertainment took their 2010 world tour to Los Angeles, only 30 percent of the 15,000 fans were Korean. Half of the audience wasn’t even Asian!
    One important reason for the success of Hallyu is simply the Internet. A little more than 10 years ago, Korean soap operas, movies and music reached the outside world quite slowly. They began in Korea, and then gradually spread outward, appearing in its neighboring countries where local TV and radio companies would play them. Now they are played around the world online at the same time.
    YouTube is another major way to get Korean entertainment to fans everywhere. It is an inexpensive and valid way for artists to introduce their work to a larger audience. In 2010 the YouTube channels for the top three Korean entertainment groups together had nearly 800 million views from 225 different countries.
    小题1:Hallyu is very hot in Asia partly because________.
    A．languages in Asia are similar to each other
    B．the culture is the most fashionable in the world
    C．South Korea’s products are the cheapest in Asia
    D．the quality of South Korea’s products is high
    小题2:The author shows the popularity of K-pop in the West_______.
    A．by giving examples
    B．in order of space
    C．by listing reasons
    D．in order of time
    小题3:The last two paragraphs mainly tell us________.
    A．how important the Internet is
    B．Hallyu is popular worldwide
    C．the Internet helps Hallyu spread quickly
    D．how popular and effective YouTube is
    小题4:What does the underlined word valid (in Para. 5) mean?
    A．slowB．useless
    C．successfulD．necessary
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．K-pop Ranks the First Everywhere
    B．Hallyu Makes Waves across the World
    C．YouTube Helps Korean Cultures Spread
    D．Korean Soap Operas Are Growing in Popularity

    On a hot summer day, a soft drink can really take away your thirst. At home, at school, in the park or at the movies---you can find one almost anywhere.
    Carbonated
    You can see bubbles(泡沫) in these! Of all soft drinks sold, about 75 percent are carbonated(碳酸的). But be careful, carbonated soft drinks have lots of sugar and caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine is not very good for you in the summer because it takes water out of your body. And the sugar can make you overweight if you drink too much.
    Fruit juice
    There are different kinds of juice. One kind is made only from fresh fruit. This kind of fruit juice may not taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious(有营养的). Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of sugar in it. Many young people buy this kind because the advertisements are good. It is bad for your teeth and bones to drink lots of this.

    Sports drinks
    Most of these have funny names like “Scream(尖叫)” and “G-Vital(激活)”. They have lots of vitamins and minerals in them. After you play sports, you may want to drink one of these.

    Willi around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them arc still awake after the first IS minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas (睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.
    All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting (警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the "night owl" schedule of sleep.
    This is opposed to the "early bird" schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as "night owls" and only 10 percent can be classified as "early birds" - the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.
    小题1:What docs the author stress in Paragraph I?
    A．Many students are absent from class.
    B．Students are very tired on Monday mornings.
    C．Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.
    D．Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.
    小题2:Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?
    A．Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.
    B．Students don't sleep well because of alerting systems.
    C．One's body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.
    D．Adolescents' delayed sleep/wake cycle isn't the preferred pattern.
    小题3:Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "classified"?
    A．Criticised.B．Grouped. C．Organised.D．Named.
    小题4:What docs the text mainly talk about?
    A．Functions of the body clock.
    B．The "night owl" phenomenon.
    C．Human beings' sleep behaviour.
    D．The school schedule of "early birds".
