     请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
     (注意:每空格1个单词)
     WASHINGTON -According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
72 officers were killed by criminals in 2011, increased markedly in recently years.
     The 2011 deaths were the first time that more officers were killed by suspects than car accidents.
The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks
in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
     While the F.B.I. and other law enforcement(执行) officials cannot fully explain the reasons for the
rise in officer homicides, they are clear about the terrible consequences.
     "In this law enforcement job, when you pin this badge on and go out on calls, when you leave
home, you can't guarantee that you will come back," said Sheriff Ray Foster of Buchanan County,
Va.
     After a series of killings in early 2011, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. asked federal authorities
to work with local police departments to try to come up with solutions to the problem.
      The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay
College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had
previously been arrested for a violent crime.
     That prompted the F.B.I. to change what information it will provide to local police departments,
the officials said. Starting this year, when police officers stop a car and call its license plate into the
F.B.I.'s database, they will be told whether the owner of the vehicle has a violent history. Through the
first three months of this year, the number of police fatalities has dropped, though it is unclear why.
     Some law enforcement officials believe that techniques pioneered by the New York Police
Department over the past two decades and adopted by other departments may have put officers at
greater risk by encouraging them to conduct more street stops and to seek out and confront (对抗)
suspects who seem likely to be armed. In New York and elsewhere, police officials moved more
officers into crime-ridden areas.
     Some argue that the rise in violence is linked to the tough economy. With less money, police
departments, after years of staffing increases, have been forced to make cutbacks(削减).
     The police chief in Camden, N.J., J. Scott Thomson, whose force of 400 was cut by nearly half
last year because of financing issues, said that having fewer officers on the street "makes it that much
more difficult to create an environment in which criminals do not feel as encouraged to attack anothe
r person, let alone a law enforcement officer."
     "Every stop can be potentially fatal, so we are trying to make sure the officers are ready and
prepared to face deadly force every single day they go out." Ms. Klimt said.

      Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert
(警报)system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
    Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people.
The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48 billion text
messages are sent each month.
     The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law
that requires improvement to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal
Communications Commission(FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about
emergencies.
     "The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other
mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public
has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and

during disasters and other emergencies, "FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval
of the plan.
      Participation in the alert system by carriers-telecommuni-cations companies-is voluntary, but

it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
        The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving
alerts.
     There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
      The first would be a national alert from the president,likely involving a terrorist attack or natural
disaster. The second would involve"approaching threats", which could include natural disasters like
hurricanes or storms or even university shootings, The third would be reserved for child abduction
(绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
     The service could be in place by 2010.

1. What is the purpose of the approved plan? 
A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.
B. To popularize the use of cell phones.
C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D. To promote the wireless industry.
2. The carriers' participation in the system is determined by___________.

B. mobile phone users
C. the carriers themselves
D. the law of the United States
3. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?

     This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US
homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new
languages and learn the rest of the world.
     Here is a 2-way student exchange in action. Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George's
family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
     Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after 2 months of studying,
the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected
and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took
14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.
     Family life, too, was different. The father's word was the law. All the activities were done with
the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed
having a car.
     "Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time.In Germany,
you walk but you soon learn to like it ."
     At the same time, in America, Mike,a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas.
"I suppose I should criticize American schools" he says, "It is far too easy for our level but I have
to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other
activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to
be some middle ground between the two."

     The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university graduates to work as junior
officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease the city's employment problems.
     The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year, 1,000 more than last year, to
work as assistants to village heads or Party secretaries in suburban areas.
      People interested in jobs in Beijing's rural villages and townships can submit applications to the
Beijing Municipal Personnel Bureau or online at www. Bjbys.com from February 1 through March 15.
      "We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and
to start their careers," Sun Zhenyu, deputy director of Beijing Personnel Bureau, told Xinhua News
Agency.
      The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan( $ 250) in the
first year, 2,500 yuan ($ 320) the second year and 3,000 yuan ($ 385) the third year, provided their
performance is up to the required standards, Sun said.
      Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first graduates
to find work in the city's countryside. After majoring in industrial and commercial administration, Wang
served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijings Pinggu District. For
one project, Wang contacted people at the Beijing Academy of Agricultural Sciences and arranged for
the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful
harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.
      Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according
to figures provided by the Ministry of Education.
     The ministry predicts that 4. 95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this
year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate.
     In Beijing, a record 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year. Less than half
of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to the personnel bureau.

      The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about
the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an "education" through games
and other entertainment.
      A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz",
he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance
music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that  they need to learn  about advertising.
      Its inventors say eight to twelve  years old is the age kids d evelop their critical thinking
abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
      The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To
know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get
the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They
can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through
ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in
the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
     The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else
ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business.
The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion
dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
     The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence
parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value.
First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for
children.
1.What is the best title of the text?
A. The guide of Admongo          
B. An education website for children
C. A popular online video game      
D. A website aimed at children
2. Why did the government start the website?
A. To attract the biggest market of buyers.  
B. To sell the products of its company.
C. To help children know about advertising.  
D. To advertise the video game for children.
3.What can players do in the website game?

A. Choose hair styles for their character.    
B. Travel to a supermarket.
C. Eat in a fast-food restaurant.    
D. Play video games during the trip.

4. Children are important for advertising because they are __________.
A. important for the society            
B. the most potential buyers
C. easily influenced by ads            
D. easily affected by poor products

     CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smoking not only can wrinkle (起皱纹) the face and tarn it yellow-it can
do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.
The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the
body-even skin protected from the sun.
     "We examined non - facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number
of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the
amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr.Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who
led the study, said in a statement.
    "In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers.
Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich "s team added in their report.
     The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms.
They ranged, in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers.Independent judges decided how wrinkled
each person' s skin was.
     When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with
a pale yellow tint, Helfrich ' s team wrote.
     Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature(过早的)skin
aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of
skin not exposed to light.
     The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette
smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels (血管) beneath the skin to constrict (紧缩), reducing
blood supply to the skin.
     Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both die skin and the internal organs,.
1.When your skin is exposed to sunlight long, it-becomes all of the following but _____.
A. flexible
B. coarse
C. rough
D. discolored
2.How wrinkled a person's skin is doesn't relate to _____.
A. the number of cigarettes a person smokes.
B. the kind and characteristics of skin
C. how long a person smokes
D. how long skin is under sunlight
3. From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because _____.
A. it will lower blood supply to skin
B. it can make you feel tired
C. it can make skin come off
D. it can make blood run faster
4.The main purpose of the passage is to _____.

     Nineteen-year-old Christopher Paolini has always loved adventure books. In fact, he plotted out his
first book, Eragon, when he was just fifteen!Eragon is selling more copies than most of the Harry Potter
books. A reporter from Who's News talked to this young author about his books and how he ended up
being one of the best-selling authors of all time!
     Reporter : ________                                                                  
     Christopher Paolini (CP): I love fantasy. I love the sense of awe (敬畏) and wonder that you always
get at the end of a great book . Eragon was an attempt to express that. When I was about twelve, I read
a book called Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher. It's about a young boy who went into a mysterious
shop and bought a dragon egg that ends up hatching. It stuck in my head. Eragon was an attempt to see
what I could do with the idea myself.
     Reporter : Where else do you get your idea?
     CP: I'm definitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language, imaginative worlds and a sense of wonder-authors who write about things that other people don't.
Reporter : What was the hardest thing about writing Eragon?
     CP: Probably the editing (编辑) because I wasn't used to it. It was a kind of shock doing it. But also
I had to learn a huge amount about grammar and commas and other things I'd never paid much attention
to before. I'd say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty. My raw writing is a lot more
professional now than it ever was before because of everything I learned through the editing process.
     Reporter : How do you avoid becoming frustrated with the writing process?
     CP: Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise you'll never be
able to survive a book-length project.
     Reporter : Anything else you'd like to share with our readers?
     CP: Before I wrote Eragon, I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story so I wasn't writing
blindly. That helps. I really poured my heart and soul into it. It's not just an adventure story: it is about
Eragon trying to work out who we are, why we are here and how we can live honorably.
1. The reporter's first question is most likely to be " ________".
A. What's the most interesting thing about Eragon?
B. How long did it take you to write Eragon?
C. How has your writing improved after Eragon?
D. What inspired you to write Eragon?
2. What does the underlined word "that" refer to in the third paragraph?
A. A story.    
B. The sense of awe and wonder.
C. An idea.        
D. A great book or movie.
3. What does Paolini find as difficult as writing?
A. Plotting out the story.    
B. Grammar and commas.
C. The editing process.      
D. The creative use of language.
4. Which of the following BEST indicates Paolini devoted himself completely to writing Eragon?
A. "Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most."
B. "Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself."
C. "I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story."
D. "I really poured my heart and soul into it."
