    Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice
    of an __36__ should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, __37__, most people make several job choices during their working lives, __38__ because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve __39__ position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should __40__ enter into a broad flexible training program that will __41__ them for a field of work rather than for a single __42__ .
    Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans __43__ benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing __44__ about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss __45__. Some drift from job to job. Others __46__ to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
    One common mistake is choosing an occupation for __47__ real or imagined prestige (声望).
    Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, __48__ both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal __49__. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is __50__ good reason for choosing it as life’s work. __51__, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the __52__ of young people should give serious __53__ to these fields.
    Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants __54__ life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take __55__ for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

    A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders(想知道): Can I communicate(交际) with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?
    Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?” Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?”.Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and “honor” are American.

    LONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The benefits are obvious; they  firm the soil, soak up (摄取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.
    However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.
    Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in taking in carbon dioxide.
    Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.
    Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the final result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.
    Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补) with it without understanding the results. For this reason the need is to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the land surface.”
    An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson.
    In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again.
    Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge.
    小题1:People usually hold the opinion that_____________.
    A．huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
    B．huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth
    C．huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for man
    D．planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
    小题2: Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that_____________.
    A．dust plays a more important part than trees
    B．trees shouldn’t have been planted in dry places
    C．carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earth
    D．environmental problems are more complex than expected
    小题3: Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that_____________.
    A．grassland areas should be covered by forests
    B．trees hold more carbon than grasses
    C．carbon can turn grass into dust
    D．less carbon can make trees grow faster

    People live in different parts of the world and lead different types of lives. Their lifestyles change across the different areas in the world. What is the difference between a city and country life? Let us see.
    We can see the modern facilities everywhere in the city like the Internet, telephone, television and satellite communication facilities are widely available in the city. A majority of families in the city are enjoying this technological advancement.
    The increasing population has led to an imbalance in human population. More and more industries have led to environmental problems like pollution.
    However, the rise in economic growth has resulted in a self-centered nature of society. While technological advancement has brought the world closer, human beings have gone far apart from each other.
    The country is not crowded with constructions all over. Houses are rather widely spaced with enough room for fields and gardens. The country is the only area fortunate enough to house the greens. People in the country live in close to nature. Apart from people, there is room for pets and animals that help keep a balance in nature.
    Due to a lesser number of people in the country, it is not overcrowded by people. These areas have least amounts of pollution. Pollution is less also because of very less number of industries in the country. The life may not be as enjoyable as that in the city, but the people there are generous, kind and friendly. The country is the one where humanity(人性) is still alive.
    Every coin has two sides to it. While we can’t enjoy expensive things and technology in the country, it is rich in its relationship with ‘nature’. The city life is modern in technology and career opportunities. However, the falling humanity and a bad environmental balance affect the bright future of city life.
    小题1:What’s the main purpose of the passage? _________.
    A．To persuade more people to live in the country.
    B．To inform us of some information about a better life.
    C．To tell us differences between city life and country life.
    D．To explain why people don’t want to live in the city.
    小题2:Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage? __________.
    ①                   ①                                       ①
    A．②③④⑤⑥B．②③④⑤⑥⑦C．①②③④⑤⑥D．④⑤⑥②③
    ⑦                                           ⑦                ⑦
    小题3: According to the passage, the main reason for pollution is ____________.
    A．technology and economyB．population and industries
    C．population and humanityD．industries and balance.
    小题4:The underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably refers to ___________.
    A．green gasB．green buildingsC．green landsD．green animals
    小题5:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________
    A．it’s up to you whether to choose city life or country life.
    B．both city life and country life have advantages and disadvantages.
    C．more and more people will move to the country in the future.
    D．the young prefer city life while the old choose country life.

    I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
    Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines．I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again．I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up．Could he be more intent while standing up？
    This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life．
    Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits，and all you can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them find their way.
    I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things．Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations．There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique．It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life．

    In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
    The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
    According to Dr. David Davis，who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
    Davis says cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people. By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. And by 2020, cars will travel in convoy linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would bum about ten percent 0f the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
    小题1: We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers        .
       A. do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020
       B. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industry
    C. consider the predictions seriously
       D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production
    小题2: Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?
       A. The car will speed up out of control．
       B. We will own as many cars as we want．
    C. All cars will be driven by computers．
    D. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones．
    小题3:The leader of the research team believes that the present car culture will change because        .
    A. cars play a very important role in daily life
    B. many societies would stop functioning without cars
    C. cars should not be owned by one individual
    D. it causes many deaths to human society
    小题4:The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is        .
    A. in line         B. sidelong
    C. side by side     D. shoulder to shoulder
    小题5: What will happen if cars are joined to each other electronically in 2020？
    A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road．
    B. The weather condition will not have effect on motorists．
    C. There will be less pollution caused by car．
    D. All trains will burn less fuel than present．

    Kids are far better than adults at learning how to speak multiple languages. Research now shows that very young infants might have some of the best language skills of all．

    A new study suggests that babies between 4 and 6 months old can tell the difference between two languages just by looking at the speaker's face．They don't need to hear word．Sometimes between 6-8 months of age, babies raised in homes where just one language is spoken lose this ability．Babies from bilingual(双语的) homes, on the other hand, keep the face-reading ability until they're at least 8 months old．
    Researchers in Canada studied 36 babies from English-speaking families．Twelve of the babies were 4 months old,12 were 6 months old, and the rest were 8 months old．Each baby sat on his or her mother's lap and watched video clips(电影片断) of a woman talking．The woman was fluent in both English and French．In some clips, she read from a storybook in English．In other clips, she read in French．In all of the videos there was no sound．
    小题1:What is mainly discussed in the passage ?
    A．Language teaching．
    B．Language learning
    C．Babies and language learning
    D．Parents and language teaching
    小题2:What do the underlined word in the second paragraph refer to ?
    A．Two or more．B．Foreign.C．difficult.D．At least one.
    小题3:We can know from the passage that    .
    A．all the babies in the study are of the same age．
    B．the babies could hear the woman's voice while watching the videos．
    C．the stories the woman read were written in either French or German．
    D．it's still unknown how babies could tell the difference between languages．
    小题4:Why did the 8-month-old pay no attention when the language was changed ?
    A．They had lost the ability to distinguish different languages．
    B．They were too tired to open their eyes and fell asleep．
    C．They couldn't hear what the speaker was talking about．
    D．They had lost the interest in bilingual speakers．

    Malaria, the world’s most widespread parasitic (寄生虫引起的)disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't (or can’t) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.        
    Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect. They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn’t kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease is passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of a parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.
    For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.  
    小题1:According to paragraph 1, many people don’t seek care because ________.
    A．they are too poor
    B．it is unusual to seek care
    C．they can remain unaffected for long
    D．there are too many people suffering from the disease
    小题2:People suffering from malaria ________.
    A．have to kill female mosquitoesB．have ability to defend parasites
    C．have their red blood cells infectedD．have sudden fever, followed by chills
    小题3:Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?
    A．Its resistance to global warming.
    B．Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
    C．Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.
    D．Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.
    小题4: It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
