    Sydney Australia—Mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.
    Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students want them.

    Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school offices. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies.
    Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.

    A victim of climate change

    A polar bear's dead body found on the Arctic island of Svalbard, the northernmost part of Norway, has shocked experts who say climate change may be to blame for the animal’s death.The starved polar bear in Norway was said to be in good health in April when the Norwegian Polar Institute examined and labeled it． However, the animal was reduced to skin and bones by the time a group of explorers came across its body in July．
    The bear is thought to have been heading north in a desperate search for sea ice that would allow it to hunt for seals.
    "From his lying position in death the bear appears to simply have starved and died where he dropped," polar bear expert Dr. Ian Stirling, a professor at the University of Alberta said, "He had external suggestion of any remaining fat, having been reduced to little more than skin and bone．"
    Stirling believes the bear starved to death as a result of a lack of sea ice which the animals use as a platform for hunting seals． That may also explain why the 16-year-old male bear was found about 155 miles north of where it was seen in April．
    Arctic sea ice reached a record low in 2012, according to a report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that pointed to continued signs of climate change．
    The International Union for Conservation of Nature currently classifies polar bears as vulnerable on its Red List of Threatened Species．
    小题1:How did Stirling know the reason for the death of the polar bear?
    A．By the food he ate
    B．By doing further experiments
    C．By observing other polar bears
    D．By his lying position in death
    小题2:The underlined word "vulnerable" probably means _____
    A．easily hurtB．difficult to hunt
    C．dangerousD．amazing
    小题3:What is the author's attitude to the incident?
    A．Favorable．B．Uncaring
    C．Doubtful．D．Concerned
    小题4:Where does this text probably come from?
    A．A novel．B．A guidebook
    C．A news report．D．An advertisement

    A new report said scientists may not be far from giving apes the ability to think and talk like humans. The report is about experiments which transplant human cells into animals for medical purposes.
    It claimed that concerns about the creation of talking apes should be taken seriously. It should also draw people’s attention to the possibility that the medical research about creating “humanised” animals is going to generate monsters.
    A regulatory（监管的）body is needed to closely monitor any experiments that many risk creating animals with human-like consciousness or giving them any appearance or behavioural traits that too closely resemble humans, the report said.
    Scientists would, for example, be prevented from replacing a large number of an ape’s brain cells with human brain cells until more is known about the potential risks. This has already been done in simpler animals like mice, which is judged to be less risky.
    Under the new UK guidelines, the power to regulate tests on animals containing human material would be transferred to a body with wider responsibility for animal testing in the Home Office.
    While there is no risk from experiments currently being carried out in Britain, it is possible that ethical (道德的) boundaries could be crossed within the next few years if scientists are not careful, the experts said.
    Professor Thomas Baldwin, a member of the Academy of Medical Sciences working group that produced the report, said the possibility of humanised apes should be taken seriously.
    He said, “The fear is that if you start putting very large numbers of human brain cells into the brains of primates（灵长类动物）you might transform the primates into something that has some of the abilities that we regard as distinctly human, such as speech, or other ways of being able to manipulate or relate to us.”
    Professor Martin Bobrow, chair of the academy working group that produced the report, said, “The very great majority of experiments present no issues beyond the general use of animals in research and these should continue to proceed under the current regulations.”
    Lord Willis, chair of the Association of Medical Research Charities, said, “AMRC only supports research that is absolutely necessary and where no suitable alternative methods are available.”
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Ethical rules to limit humanised animals.
    B．The potential results of humanised apes.
    C．The possibility of humanised animals.
    D．The danger of human-like animals.
    小题2:The underlined word “manipulate” in the passage probably means “_______”.
    A．appealB．possessC．controlD．associate
    小题3:Which of the following statements might Professor Thomas Baldwin agree with?
    A．It is necessary to do some experiments about humanised animals.
    B．Experiments about humanised animals should be done within the law.
    C．It would be dangerous to do experiments about humanised animals.
    D．It is urgent to ban experiment about humanised animals.
    小题4:It can be inferred that _______.
    A．people should be careful when creating talking apes
    B．Thomas Baldwin and Lord Willis are from the same organization
    C．creating humanised animals is difficult in Britain now
    D．scientists must be cautious not to cross ethical boundaries

    Everyone has got two personalities(性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior(行为), but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you sleep in.
    If you go to sleep on your back , you’re a very open person . You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas . You don’t like to upset people , so you never express your real feelings . You are quite shy and you aren’t very confident .
    If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive (不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn(顽固), but you aren't very ambitious(抱负的). You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
    If you sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive (防御性的). You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
    If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
    小题1:Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach?
    A．He or she is careful not to make others angry.
    B．He or she doesn't want to stick to his or her opinion.
    C．He or she can't be successful in any business.
    D．He or she likes to bring others happiness.
    小题2:Maybe you don't want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?
    A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
    B．He or she is rarely ready to help you.
    C．He or she prefers going out to staying at home.
    D．He or she wouldn't like to get help from you.

    ●Ms Tan, you’ve referred to your new novel as your eighth book.
    That’s because it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and completed this one.
    ●Why do you think you had so many false starts?
    I would say that my reasons were wrong. I was trying to prove that I wasn’t just a mother-daughter storyteller, or I was trying to prove that I didn’t just have to write about things that were strictly Chinese or Chinese-American. Those were never the right reasons for writing those early stories. And I could never come up with other better reasons for continuing them.
    ●What kept you going on this book?
    This book was different because it was based on my mother’s real life. The reason for writing it became more personal and emotional. After The Joy Luck Club came out, my mother was always explaining to people that she wasn’t any of the mothers in that book. And at one point she said to me, “Next book tells my true story.” And then she started telling me things I never knew before. She also told me many, many stories, because my mother doesn’t generalize(笼统地表达). The book really grew out of that.
    ●Have you ever visited China?
    Yes. I’ve been there twice: about three years ago and then again last November, both times with my mother and my husband.
    ●Was it difficult to understand the Chinese-American dialect(方言) without sounding like a parody(拙劣的模仿)?
    No, because it’s the language I’ve heard all my life from my mother. She speaks English as it’s direct translation from Chinese. But it’s more than that. Her language also has more imagery than English.
    ●Can you think of an example?
    Somebody might say to me, “Don’t work so hard. You’ll kill yourself.” My mother will say to me，“Why do you press all your brains out on this page for someone else？” So it’s very vivid. That’s the way she talks.
    ●Have many readers told you that the Chinese mother in your book reminded them of the typical Jewish (有癖好的) mother?
    Many people have told me that. I think the mother-daughter relationship is very intense(紧张) in both cases. Culturally there is an acceptance that mothers have the power to tell their children, especially their daughters, how to conduct their lives --- not simply up until the time they are 18, but for the rest of their lives. However, when children grow up in a different culture from their parents’，they tend to keep more secrets from their parents. The children think, “They just wouldn’t understand that I had to do this.” And that can really create a gap, and it can grow as the number of secrets grows.
    小题1:Based on the questions in this interview, what do you think Ms Tan’ s profession is?
    A．A journalist. B．A story-writer.C．An interviewer. D．An interviewee.
    小题2:What’ s TRUE about Tan’ s second book?
    A．It’ s about her real life in America.
    B．The name of the book is The Joy Luck Club.
    C．It is the result of many times of carefull thought.
    D．It includes many works of her mother.
    小题3:Which question is NOT answered in the interview?
    A．How does she think of her mother’ s language?
    B．How many books does she plan to write?
    C．When did she visit China?
    D．How is generation gap created?
    小题4:We can infer that________.
    A．Tan’ s mother is a good storyteller
    B．Tan plans to write another book about her mother
    C．Tan plans to return to China
    D．Tan’ s mother is hard to communicate with because of personality
    小题5:The last paragraph mainly talks about________.
    A．how to keep secrets from parents
    B．how to deal with the mother-daughter relationship
    C．how to conduct the lives
    D．how the generation gap comes about

    In the UK, a group of campaigners(活动家)have declared the last Saturday in November as National Buy Nothing Day. “Our message is clear: shop less, live more!” says organizer Michael Smith. “The challenge is to try simple living for a day. Spend time with family and friends, rather than spending money on them. Anyone can take part, provided they spend a day without spending.”
    On Buy Nothing Day, they take to the streets to tackle consumers(消费者). They dress as pigs to symbolize greed(贪婪). They offer to cut up credit cards and hand out shopping bags with the words “another useless thing I don’t need” written on the side. Some hold street parties to show shoppers that it is possible to have fun without spending money. Others go into shops and put notes saying “don’t buy me” inside clothes and shoes.
    Some protestors(抗议者) are working against powerful forces. Many retailers(零售商) and manufacturers depend on Christmas sales for most of their profits. Around two thirds of GDP in the West is made up of consumer spending. If this drops, many people will lose their jobs. At least that will make it easier for them to buy nothing.
    And there is also the risk that the campaigners will be seen as killjoys, who want to stop people enjoying themselves. “There’s a fun side to this,” says Michael Smith. “To some it’s a protest, but it’s also a street party. We’re not saying that people are bad because they go shopping, but we need get the message across for people to consume wisely. And after we’re finished, we’ll probably go for a drink.”
    小题1:Why do a group of people in the UK choose Saturday as National Buy Nothing Day?
    A．Because they have enough food at their homes.
    B．Because it is the season for shopping.
    C．Because they have run out of money at that time.
    D．Because it’s popular to live a simple life.
    小题2:In order to persuade people to stop shopping, the campaigners _____.
    A．stop people going out
    B．have different ways to make it
    C．offer goods to people freely
    D．play tricks on consumers
    小题3:The underlined word “killjoys” in the last paragraph refers to people who _____.
    A．ruin the happiness and fun of others
    B．get money from shopkeepers
    C．bring happiness to others
    D．take no interest in shopping
    小题4:The campaigners started National Buy Nothing Day for the purpose of _____.
    A．persuading people to kill time in a different way
    B．persuading people to save money
    C．persuading people to have more parties
    D．persuading people to spend money wisely

    Anger at the practice of demanding dowries, which can lead to violence against brides, has caused a takeoff of "Angry Birds" called "Angry Brides" that aims to highlight the illegal practice still common in many South Asian countries.
    Dowries -- such as jewelry, clothes, cars and money -- are traditionally given by the bride's family to the groom and his parents to ensure she is taken care of in her new home.
    The custom was outlawed more than five decades ago. But it is still widely practiced, with the groom's family demanding even more money after marriage, leading to mental and physical abuse that can drive the woman to suicide.
    "The Angry Brides game is our way of throwing a spotlight on the nuisance (陋习) of dowry," said Ram Bhamidi, senior vice president and head of online marketing for Shaadi.com, a matrimonial (婚姻的) website with two million members.
    "According to a 2007 study, there is a dowry-related death every four hours in India. We condemn this and have consistently run campaigns on social media to help create awareness of the issue."
    The name of the app, available on the group's home page, is a spinoff from the globally popular "Angry Birds" game. Its home page shows a red-clad, eight-armed woman resembling a powerful female Hindu goddess. Underneath, there is a caption: "A woman will give you strength, care and all the love you need ... NOT dowry!"
    To play the game, users have to try and hit three dodging grooms -- a pilot, builder and doctor. There is a wide array of weapons to choose from, including a stiletto shoe, a frying pan, broomstick, tomato and loafer.
    Each groom has a price tag, starting at 1.5 million rupees ($29,165). Every time the player hits a groom, his value decreases and money is added to the player's Anti-Dowry Fund, which is saved posted on their Facebook page.
    "Since we launched the game last week, more than 270,000 people have liked the app. Both men and women seem to be playing it," said Bhamidi.
    小题1:What caused "Angry Brides" to appear online?
    A．Women's rights' being seriously abused．
    B．Anger at the practice of demanding dowries．
    C．The bride's giving a great many dowries．
    D．The popularity of Angry Birds online．
    小题2:Which of the following is True about "Dowries"?
    A．The custom of giving dowries has been in practice for five decades．
    B．Lack of abundant dowries may lead to the bride's being in violence．
    C．The illegal practice of dowries is still popular in many African countries．
    D．More dowries the bride gives mean a high social status of her family．
    小题3:The underlined word "spinoff” probably means_____________．
    A．relationB．connectionC．copyD．fake
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the game "Angry Brides"?
    A．There are a variety of weapons to choose from．
    B．Ram Bhamidi thinks highly of the game．
    C．Men players don't find the game enjoyable．
    D．The game character looks like a Hindu goddess．
    小题5:What is the text mainly about?
    A．Women's unfair treatment in the marriage．
    B．The popularity of the game "Angry Brides"．
    C．The groom's demanding too many dowries．

    Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world’s first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.
    In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation(作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don’t see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”
    Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.
    After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing(轻松的) hotel break. “It’s great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “As well as a good start in survival training.”
    The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”

    A．an art exhibition was about to open
    B．he wanted to make a name for the small town

    D．more hotel rooms were needed
    小题2: When the writer says “the fun will be over,” he refers to the fact that ________.
    A．hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard test
    B．a bigger igloo will replace the present one
    C．holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big igloo
    D．Bergqvist’s hotel will soon become a pool of water
    小题3:According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is ________.
    A．to gather a pool of water
    B．to prepare a wooden base
    C．to cover the ground with ice

    小题4: When guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that ________.
    A．they have had a taste of adventure
    B．they have had an ice-snow holiday
    C．they have had great fun sleeping on ice
