    There were quite a lot of things that the philosophers of the old times got right and one of those things was that there is a very strong need for lawyers and government in a society. The government looks to protect and help you in times of need and the lawyers are there to fight for your case if you are treated unfairly. Just like then, there is still a need for government to help people when they need help now in today’s world. This sort of help can come from when people need social security benefits because they become disabled after some sort of accident.
    If you have become disabled in recent days, then you certainly have rights go to find out whether you are qualified to receive the social security disability benefits. The social security disability is for those who have become disabled or are disabled due to some sort of accident that may have happened and that forces you to be out of work. This can be very frustrating because being out of work means that you cannot make money that you need in order to provide for yourself and those you are possible taking care of. This is where the government comes into play. The government will help you out with this and possibly give you money in order to keep yourself from ending up on the streets.
    They understand that accidents do happen and that there needs to be some sort of help for those who get into accidents and cannot provide for themselves. If you are sure that you have a disability, get in touch with the social security department for more information. Meyers Law Firm can help you get the social security disability benefits you have rights to gain.

    A．find out whether you can get the moneyB．go to the related department to treat

    小题3:When having an accident and becoming disabled people need to                .
    A．ask the lawyers for helpB．turn to the government for help
    C．fight for their benefitsD．seeking money from the accident
    小题4:What does the underlined part mean in the 2nd paragraph?
    A．Make you homeless.B．Get you to live a happier life.

    All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind.  For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. …
    Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital.  First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them.  The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London.  Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources (revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse (阅览).  Tokyo’s National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.
    A second benefit is convenience.  Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes.  Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture.  Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving.  And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.
    The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf.  Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly.  The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books – an average cost of $30 per volume.  The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.
    小题1:The best title for this passage would be __________.
    A．Three Benefits of Libraries
    B．Libraries Going Digital
    C．Space-saving E-learning
    D．Security of Electronic Reading
    小题2:Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?
    A．Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4B．Paragraphs 3 and 4
    C．Paragraphs 2 and 4D．Paragraph 4
    小题3:Which one of the following is mentioned as the advantages of E-libraries
    A．Old manuscripts can be moved more easily
    B．Materials can be examined without being touched
    C．Fewer staff will be required in libraries
    D．Libraries will be able to move underground
    小题4:What does the word ‘scrutinize’ probably mean?
    A．keep for a whileB．reprintC．restoreD．examine carefully

    If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
    Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
    The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记）card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
    The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
    With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”.  But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
    小题1: The underlined words in this passage means to “______”.
    A．be ready to help othersB．make good use of one’s friends
    C．be a little ahead of othersD．gain something at other’s expense
    小题2: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.
    B．In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel.
    C．The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours.
    D．The workers are always honest with their working hours.
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that ______.
    A．the Finnish society is of very high moral （道德） level
    B．there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland
    C．in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anything
    D．everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves
    小题4:Which of the following is the best title of the passage ?
    A．Life in FinlandB．A Society with “Foolish” People
    C．What a LifeD．Honest accounts of the Finns

    Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to go. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that, it is different when one wants to walk.
    At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
    The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and every-body wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty(空的).
    During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good.  They always leave and arrive on time.
    In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

    With petroleum reserve（石油储量）decreasing, the search is on to replace gas with a cleaner, greener alternative. Though much eco-talk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans, the biofuel that looks more likely to replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source: algae（藻类）.
    Algae, like corn, soybeans, and other crops, grow via photosynthesis（光合作用）and can be processed into fuel oil. However, they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Many algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted water—while corn and soy require arable(适于耕种的) land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the world’s population balloons.
    “If you replaced all the diesel（柴油）in the U.S. with soy biodiesel, it would take half the land mass of the U.S. to grow those soybeans,” says Matt Caspari, chief executive of Aurora Biofuels, a Berkeley, Calif-based private firm that specializes in algae oil technology. On the other hand, the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require only l5, 000 square miles, which is a few thousand miles larger than Maryland (12,407 squaree miles), the 42nd state in land area.
    Another advantages: Because algae can be grown just about anywhere in a closed space, they’re being tested at several power plants across the nation as a carbon absorber. Smokestack emissions（烟囱排放物）can be pumped directly into the ponds, feeding the algae while keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
    Although processing technology for algae fuel—also known as “oilgae” in some environmentalist circles —is improving, it’s still years away from reaching your local gas pump. “It’s just a question of cost, because no large-scale facilities have been built yet,” Caspari says.
    小题1:The underlined word “yield” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_______”.
    A．controlB．requireC．produceD．grow
    小题2:Compared with corn and soybeans, algae_____.
    A．may pollute water and soilB．can grow in poor conditions
    C．provide much less energyD．need more special care
    小题3:According to Paragraph 3, one of the advantages of algae fuel is that ____.
    A．it can be used more widelyB．it is easier to produce
    C．it needs much less landD．it costs much less money
    小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
    A．Environmental ProtectionB．Biofuels from Corn and Soybeans
    C．The False Hope of BiofuelsD．A Promising Oil Alternative
