    Many people wonder why the United States has been a hotspot for Chinese students for years, despite its extremely strict visa policy. On the other hand, China’s rise as an economic powerhouse is resulting in a rapid expansion of its higher education system, making it the faster-growing destination for American foreign exchange students.

Recently, according to a study by the Institute of International Education, a research organization based in New York, the number of American students seeking higher education in China has never been greater, increasing by 90 percent from 2002 to 2004. Alan Goodman, president of the institute, believes that the phenomenon lies in the pace of change in China, which is spending billions of dollars to expend and transform its higher educational facilities into world-class  institutions.

“China is a job market,” said Professor Chou, professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton University. “Twenty years ago, only those interested in Chinese literature would study Chinese language. Now all professors have opened up.”

China now ranks 9th as a host destination for American students, advancing from the No.12 spot it held a year earlier. The study revealed that Britain continues to be the leading destination, attracting 16.8 percent of all American students who study abroad. On the other hand, in the 2004-2005 academic year, China sent more than 62,000 students to the United States, nearly 60 percent more than a decade earlier. According to the study, the Chinese now make up 11 percent of foreign students in the United States, the second-largest group behind students from India.

41.From the first paragraph, we know that for many years Chinese students want to go to the US but _____.

A. Chinese government refuses to give a visa    B. it is extremely difficult to get a visa

C. it results in a rapid expansion              D. China becomes a fast-growing country

42.According to the text, “the phenomenon” in the second paragraph refers to _____.

 A. more American students’ seeking higher education in China

B. the pace of change in China during the past few years

C. founding a research organization based in New York

D. expending and transforming its higher educational facilities

43.What is the main idea of this text?

A. American Students are looking for destination.

B. American students are interested in Chinese culture.

C. Britain continues to be the leading destination.

D. China grows as study hotspot for U.S. students.

LOS ANGELES-British singing sensation Susan Boyle’s first album quickly climbed to No. 1 on U.S. album charts on Wednesday with sales of 701,000 copies, beating new releases by Adam Lambert and Rihanna and becoming the best-selling debut(首次演出) of 2009. Boyle, 48, a frumpy Scottish singer, who became an international YouTube phenomenon after appearing on TV show “Britain’s Got Talent”, also topped the British album charts earlier this week.

Her “I Dreamed a Dream” release through Sony Music Entertainment, marked the best U.S. opening of a female artist's debut album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, Billboard.com said. It was also the fastest selling album in Britain this year and has topped the charts in Australia and Ireland.

Billboard said only one album in SoundScan’s tracking history had seen a bigger opening week than Boyle. U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg’s album “Doggystyle” sold 803,000 copies in its first week in 1993—before traditional album sales began tumbling(falling rapidly) in the face of piracy(盗版) and a shift to digital sales.

Although Boyle finally failed to win “Britain’s Got Talent”, her April trial hearing for the show has been viewed more than 300 million times on the Internet.

In a good week for stars of TV talent shows, “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert’s debut album “For Your Entertainment”, also released through Sony, debuted at No.3 on the Billboard 200 with 198,000 copies sold. Lambert’s strong showing followed headline news coverage of his bad televised live performance at the American Music Awards 10 days ago in which he aroused oral sex with a dancer and kissed a male keyboard player.

R&B singer Rihanna’s “Rated R”, her first studio album since being attacked by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown in February, bowed in at No.4 with 181,000 copies—the best sales week in the 21-year-old singer’s career.

Italian singer Andrea Bocelli held onto the No.2 spot for a third week with his “My Christmas” album with 218,000 new copies sold during the week, SoundScan said.

60. According to the passage, what albums were released through Sony Music Entertainment?

A. Doggystyle and I Dreamed a Dream.

B. For Your Entertainment and I Dreamed a Dream.

C. Rated R and Doggystyle.

D. My Christmas and For Your Entertainment.

61. What do you learn from the passage?

      A. Doggystyle marked the biggest opening week in SoundScan’s tracking history.

    B. I Dreamed a Dream was the fastest selling album in English-speaking countries.

      C. Upon its release, Boyle’s first album ranked first on album charts on Wednesday.

      D. Boyle became world-famous after she won Britain’s Got Talent.

62. Who may perform crazily and leave audience a bad impression?

      A. Susan Boyle.       B. Andrea Bocelli.      C. Rihanna.        D. Adam Lambert.           

63. From the passage we can conclude _______.

      A. The albums could have sold better if it had not been for piracy and a shift to digital sales

      B. Boyle became world-famous because she was a female artist.

      C. Being attacked by her then-boyfriend might decrease the sales of Rihanna’s Rated R.

      D. Andrea Bocelli’s album My Christmas only kept the No. 2 spot for two weeks.
