    The hottest show this summer---"the Voice" just finished on Sunday at the Shanghai Stadium. But the show that had a good start didn’t end to everyone’s satisfaction. The two and a half hour show dragged on for more than four hours because of the huge amount of advertising, which the audience and residents living nearby could hardly bear.
    This summer, something hotter than the weather came to Shanghai. That is the Voice of China. The show soon became a cash cow for the organizer as the advertisement prices reached 1.16 million yuan for 15 seconds. And the show has earned more than 100 million yuan up to now in ad income only,
    But the organizers’ bliss was audiences’ melancholy.
    In the final live show on Sunday, about 14 rounds of advertisements were aired, each of which came at a crucial result-announcing moment.
    Frequently interrupted by advertisements, some live audience members complained that the show wasn’t worth its ticket prices of 180 to 1680 yuan.
    The planned two and a half hour show went two hours overtime because of the advertising. This annoyed audience members, and touched the nerves of residents living near the site.
    Someone called the police, and the show is now facing punishment for going over-time and disturbing residents late at night.
    小题1: Why didn’t “the Voice” make audience satisfied?
    A．Because it had a good start but it failed to attract audience’ attention in the end.
    B．Because it had a good start but it failed to make audience satisfied.
    C．Because it increased by one and a half hour and audience couldbear it.
    D．Because it was full of so many advisements that audience can’t tolerate it.
    小题2: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．The show lasted for over four hours.
    B．The show has earned more than 100 million yuan up to now totally.
    C．The show wasn’t worth its ticket prices because of many advertisements.
    D．Someone called the police because he can’t bear the noises late at night.
    小题3: What does the underlined word “melancholy” in the third paragraph mean?
    A．enthusiasmB．crazinessC．sorrowD．romance
    小题4: Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
    A．The Voice of China---the most popular TV show of last summer.
    B．The Voice of China---hard to say I love you.
    C．The Voice of China---I want you.
    D．The Voice of China---the noises of China.

    小题1:D
    小题2:B
    小题3:C
    小题4:B

    试题分析：本文主要讲述的是在中国好声音这个节目上，广告过多，让观众产生了厌倦的情绪。
    小题1:D 细节题。根据第一段最后3行The two and a half hour show dragged on for more than four hours because of the huge amount of advertising, which the audience and resid。ents living nearby could hardly bear.可知在最后的表演中有太多的广告，引起了观众的不满，故D正确。
    小题2:B 细节题。根据第二段最后一句And the show has earned more than 100 million yuan up to now in ad income only,说明仅仅在广告上久赚了100 million。而不是全部收入。故B项错误。
    小题3:C 推理题。根据第四段In the final live show on Sunday, about 14 rounds of advertisements were aired, each of which came at a crucial result-announcing moment.
    说明在此处的表演里有太多的广告，这让观众很难受。故该词是指难受，C正确。
    小题4:B 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是在中国好声音这个节目上，广告过多，让观众产生了厌倦的情绪，故B正确。

    A group of eight public high school students  in Massachusetts, aged l5 to l7，designed and ran their own school within a school. They named their practice the Independent Project. They represented the usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project，while others were honors students.
    Their guidance teacher was their adviser, consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties. Though they sought advice from English，math and science teachers， they were responsible for monitoring one another’s work and giving one another feedback. There were no grades, but at the end of the term，the students wrote evaluations of their classmates.
    The students also designed their own course. In addition to some  regular courses，they each took on an ‘individual project’，learning to play the piano or to cook，writing a novel or making a video about domestic(国内的) violence. At the end of the term，they performed their new skills in front of the entire school. The last part of their self - designed course was to do a ‘collective project’ that had social significance. Because they felt the whole experience had been so life – changing，they ended up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools.
    The project was a success. After returning to their traditional study，the students have high motivation and are doing well. One student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks teaching the others about probability. The lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity to take control or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished，more engaged and more knowledgeable.
    The students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and  personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience，learn things that matter to them and learn together.
    小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Some students might drop out of high school.
    B．The teachers monitored the students’ homework.
    C．The students themselves solved all their problems.
    D．The teachers evaluate the students’ performances.
    小题2:The students involved in the Independent Project             .
    A．didn’t need to learn common lessons
    B．tended to escape from the whole society
    C．were unwilling to share their experiences
    D．focused on self-study and working together
    小题3:According Paragraph 4，we know that             .
    A．the traditional study is better than the project
    B．all the students had failed their math courses
    C．the students have freedom to design their lessons
    D．the project was mainly concerned with math courses
    小题4:The project made the students outstanding because             .
    A．they are unusually talented
    B．they have better backgrounds
    C．they have supportive teachers
    D．they are owners of their education
    小题5:What would be the best title of the text?
    A．Structure the kids’ days to the minute
    B．Let kids rule their own school within a school
    C．Offer students few opportunities to do anything
    D．Provide traditional education to the students

    In Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck.They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis the goods more valuable than oil.It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off.Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to  fight thirst.
    Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water.The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025，says a report by the World Bank.
    Hannan, an 18­year­old from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply.“In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week but then the following week there will be water only for a day or two, ” she said.
    She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry.With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month，this means the family often spend half their money on water.
    “There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help，” she said.
    The average person in Yemen survives on one­fifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.
    In Taiz, in the south，tap water is available only once every 45 days.In the mountainous Malhan district in the north，women and children climb a 1,500­m mountain to collect water from a spring, often in the small hours to avoid long queues.
    Yemen is located in Southwest Asia，bordering the Arabian and Red Sea.Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area，the fast­growing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat.With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth—3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country.
    The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater，but this would be expensive and it may now be too late.The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food.
    小题1:The passage aims to________.
    A．analyze the reasons why Yemen lacks water
    B．suggest some solutions to the water issue in Yemen
    C．present how serious the water problem is in Yemen
    D．encourage the world to help Yemenis who are suffering from water shortages
    小题2:When Hannan said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply，she meant that________.
    A．rich people drank more water than the poor
    B．rich people could buy water from the water trucks if there was a water supply cut
    C．she had a rich neighbor who often helped her during water supply cuts
    D．the rich were not affected by water supply cuts
    小题3:Which of the following may be a reason why Yemen is short of water?
    A．The country has had no rain for a long time.
    B．The population of Yemen is growing fast.
    C．The government has failed to reduce farming.
    D．People can’t afford the water from government water trucks.
    小题4:The best title for the passage is “________”．
    A．Never take water for granted
    B．The water truck—the commonest sight in Yemen
    C．The first country to run out of water in the world
    D．No water for Yemen

    TOKYO, Japan (AP) – Japan is very serious about robotics (机器人技术). If the droids are going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are exploring just that. In a show this week, a humanoid（有人特点的）with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc. poured tea from a bottle into a cup. Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensors embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate（模仿）life with robot technology.
    “A human being may be faster, but you’d have to say ‘Thank you,’” said University of Tokyo professor Tomomasa Sato. “That’s the best part about a robot. You don’t have to feel bad about asking it to do things.”
    Sato believes Japan, a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older, will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elderly, sick and bedridden（卧床不起的）.
    Already, monitoring technologies, such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room, are becoming widespread in Japan.
    The walking, child–size Asimo from Honda Motor Co. greets people at showrooms. NEC Corp. has developed a smaller companion robot–on –wheels called Papero. A seal robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of fuzzy companionship.
    Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices（设备）monitor a person’s movements down to the smallest detail.
    On the bright side, the tea – pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.
    小题1:What is the best title of this passage?
    A．“Thank You” Will Never Be Needed in Japan
    B．Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in Japan
    C．Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elderly.
    D．Robot technologies are widespread in Japanese daily life.
    小题2:The underlined word “embedded” in the first paragraph probably means       .
    A．fixedB．establishedC．settledD．rooted
    小题3:According to Professor Sato,       .
    A．the robot serves tea much faster than a human being
    B．the robot does anything like human beings
    C．tea – serving robot helps to form laziness of the aging society
    D．tea – serving robot doesn’t need any reward for the service
    小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.
    B．A robot has been programmed to clean the dishes.
    C．All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.
    D．The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.
    小题5:We can infer from the passage that        .
    A．people are afraid of being monitored by robots.
    B．the technology of robots has been highlighted in Japan.
    C．robots can completely take the place of human beings.

    Too much TV watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children．
    One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders． Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs．
    A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood． But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters（年轻人）may watch lots of TV．
    Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15． Those with college degrees had watched an average（平均）of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school．
    In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored（得分）the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest．
    While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms．
    小题1:According to the California study, the low-scoring group might
    A．have watched a lot of TV
    B．not be interested in math
    C．be unable to go to college
    D．have had computers in their bedrooms
    小题2:What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?
    A．Poorly motivated 26-year-old watch more TV．
    B．Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest．
    C．TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds．
    D．The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain
    小题3:What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
    A．More time should be spent on computers．
    B．Children should be forbidden from watching TV．
    C．TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms．
    D．Further studies on high-achieving students should be done．
    小题4:What would be the best title for this text?
    A．Computers or Television

    BEIJING—Eating at a Beijing restaurant is usually an adventure for foreigners, and particularly when they get the chance to order “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head”.
    Sometimes excited but mostly confused, embarrassed or even terrified, many foreigners have long complained about mistranslations of Chinese dishes. And their complaints are often valid(有效), but such an experience at Beijing’s restaurants will apparently soon be history.
    Foreign visitors will no longer, hopefully, be confused by oddly worded restaurant menus in the capital if the government’s plan to correctly translate 3,000 Chinese dishes is a success and the translations are generally adopted.
    The municipal(市政) office of foreign affairs has published a book to recommend English translations of Chinese dishes, which aims to help restaurants avoid bizarre translations. “It provides the names of main dishes of famous Chinese cuisines in plain English,” an official with the city’s Foreign Affairs office said. “Restaurants are encouraged to use the proposed translations, but it will not be compulsory.” It’s the city’s latest effort to bridge the culture gap for foreign travelers in China.
    Coming up with precise translations is a daunting task, as some Chinese culinary(烹饪) techniques are untranslatable and many Chinese dishes have no English-language equivalent. The translators, after conducting a study of Chinese restaurants in English-speaking countries, divided the dish names into four categories: ingredients, cooking method, taste and name of a person or a place. For some traditional dishes, pinyin, the Chinese phonetic system, is used, such as mapo tofu(previously often literally translated as “beancurd made by woman with freckles”), baozi(steamed stuffed bun) and jiaozi(dumplings) to “reflect the Chinese cuisine culture,” according to the book.
    “The book is a blessing to tourist guides like me. Having it, I don’t have to rack my brains trying to explain Chinese dishes to foreign travellers,” said Zheng Xiaodong, a 31-year-old employee with a Beijing-based travel agency.
    “I will buy the book as I major in English literature and I’d like to introduce Chinese cuisine culture to more foreign friends,” said Han Yang, a postgraduate student at the University of International Business and Economics.
    It is not clear if the book will be introduced to other parts of China. But on Tuesday, this was the most discussed topic on weibo.com, China’s most popular microblogging site.
    小题1:What’s the best title of the passage?
    A．An adventure for foreigners who eat in Beijing.
    B．Confusing mistranslations of Chinese dishes.
    C．Chinese dishes to have “official” English names.
    D．The effort to bridge the culture gap.
    小题2: “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head” are mentioned in the beginning of the passage to show              .
    A．some Chinese dishes are not well received
    B．some Chinese dishes are hard to translate
    C．some Chinese dishes are mistranslated
    D．some Chinese dishes are not acceptable
    小题3:What measure has the municipal office taken?
    A．Recommending a book on Chinese dishes.
    B．Advocating(提倡) using precise translation for Chinese dishes.
    C．Publishing a book on China’s dietary habits.
    D．Providing the names of main Chinese dishes.
    小题4:What’s the meaning of daunting in paragraph 5?
    A．confusingB．disappointingC．discouragingD．Worthwhile
