    Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost them a penny.
    Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity — 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible.
    Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”
    Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.
    Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.
    小题1:According to the passage, “wugging” is actually _______.
    A．a student movement B．a charity-related action
    C．a school organization D．a website
    小题2:In the case of charity, everyclick.com _______.
    A．frees students of the financial worries
    B．receives much money from students
    C．offers valuable information to students
    D．praises students for their money-raising
    小题3:What does Beth Truman think of the “wugging” movement?
    A．It makes Everyclick.com popular in the UK.
    B．It becomes easy to do charity because of it.
    C．It results in students’ more social awareness.
    D．It helps students to save money.
    小题4:From the passage, we can conclude that _______.
    A．most full time students do charity on the Internet every day
    B．Everyclick.com helps students pay for the college education
    C．“wugging” is a win-win idea for both students and charities

    A Hollywood movie was met with an awkward situation last Saturday in China. While fans are standing in long queues to watch the first show, others are advocating a boycott（抵制）on the American movie with Chinese story elements.
    　　After "Kung Fu Panda", a cartoon movie telling about a panda’s Kung Fu master journey, hit China’s silver screens in 2008, its sequel (续集), Kung Fu Panda 2, was released in China just ahead of International Children’s Day, adding more Chinese elements such as shadow play (皮影戏) and lion dancing.
    　　However, some Chinese artists and scholars argue that the movie has twisted (扭曲) Chinese culture and serves as a tool to "kidnap (绑架)" the mind of the Chinese people.
    　　“Children’s Day should be pure. Don’t turn it into a money-making day for Hollywood, and don’ t fool our next generation with American fast food,” according to an open letter to Chinese cinema managers written by Zhao Bandi, an artist hoping to boycott the “Americanized” movie. His move is backed by Kong Qingdong, a professor of the Chinese language in Beijing University, who said Chinese elements have become advertising products to advocate American culture. "It is a cultural invasion," said Kong.
    　　In the movie, the main character called “Po,” a panda, is talkative, humorous, lovely, and is widely believed to be a typical American figure.
    　　However, the panda has won millions of fans in China. On China’s most popular website, comments on the movie reached nearly 270 million entries.
    　　“I won’t call it a cultural invasion,” said Li Jiayi, a Beijing university student. “I see nothing bad for others to use our cultural elements to make a movie. I’ m a huge fan of Po. In spite of being a cartoon, it is still loved by many adults like me,” said the 25-year-old after watching the first show at midnight.
    　 Cao Hui, general manager of Shenzhen Global Digital Creations company, said: “instead of a
    ‘boycott’, movie producers should learn from the movie to make better use of Chinese story elements. Technically, Kung Fu Panda is not more advanced than Chinese movies, but as for story telling skills, Chinese movies have a long way to go”.
    小题1:Some artists and scholars are against "Kung Fu Panda" because they think_____.
    A．it has added too many Chinese elements
    B．it has ruined Chinese image deliberately
    C．it is an exact copy of Chinese culture
    D．it is advertising American culture
    小题2:What does the underlined word “backed” in the fourth paragraph mean?
    A．supportedB．criticizedC．releasedD．resisted
    小题3:This passage can be classified as _________.
    A．an advertisementB．a feature storyC．a news reportD．a film review

    Three astronauts returned to Earth safely on Wednesday after a successful 15-day mission （任务）, marking another step forward towards the country’s goal of building a manned space station by 2020.
    Zhang Youxia, commander-in-chief of China’s manned space program, said the Shenzhou X mission was a “complete success”.
    The Shenzhou X landed safely in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at about 8:07 a.m. on June 26, 2013. All three astronauts were in good physical condition.
    Nie Haisheng, commander of the Shenzhou X crew and a second-time space traveler, was the first to get out of the bowl-like module（舱）, followed by Wang Yaping, the only female astronaut of the mission, and Zhang Xiaoguang. During a brief welcoming ceremony held at the landing area, the astronauts waved happily to a crowd consisting of officers, the search and recovery team, and health personnel.
    “It feels really good to be back home,” said astronaut Nie Haisheng.
    “We are dreamers, and we have now realized our dream,” said Zhang Xiaoguang. “Our space dream knows no limit, and our hard work will never stop,” he said.
    Compared with its previous mission Shenzhou IX last year, the Shenzhou X is no longer experimental but considered an applicable shuttle（航天飞机）system for sending astronauts and supplies to orbiting modules. The mission aims to further test technologies designed for docking（对接）and supporting astronauts’ stay in space, as well as to use new technologies related to the construction of a space station.
    In its 15-day journey in space, Shenzhou X docked with the orbiting space lab Tiangong-1 twice, once through automatic operation and the other manual（手控的）.The Tiangong-1 space lab has been in orbit for more than 600 days. It’s designed to work for two years. The module is considered the first step in building a permanent space station in the future. And the astronauts spent 12 days in Tiangong-1, where they conducted space medical experiments, technical tests and gave a science lesson to students on Earth on June 19 about basic physics principles. The lecture was the second video class sent from space, with US astronaut Barbara Morgan’s 25-minute class being the first in 2007.
    China is the third country after the United States and Russia to acquire the technologies and skills necessary for space rendezvous（交会）and docking procedures, as well as supply manpower and material for an orbiting module via different docking methods.
    Previous docking procedures conducted between Shenzhou-type spacecraft and the orbiting space lab included two automated dockings by the unmanned Shenzhou-8 in 2011 and both an automated and manual docking by the manned Shenzhou-9 in 2012.
    Since its first manned space space mission in 2003, China has sent ten astronauts and six spacecrafts into the space.
    小题1:According to the passage, the Shenzhou X ________.
    A．was sent into space on June 11, 2013
    B．is still an experimental shuttle system
    C．sent many supplies to the manned space station

    小题2:China sent the Shenzhou X into space to ________.
    A．learn how to make use of a manned space station
    B．prove the importance of the manned space program
    C．experiment on how to make astronauts stay in space safely
    D．test new technologies for the construction of a space station
    小题3: We can learn from the passage that ________.
    A．Nie Haisheng is the only male astronaut of the mission
    B．The Tiangong-1 space lab was founded in 2012
    C．China is the second country to give a space class
    D．the Tiangong-1 was mainly designed to serve Shenzhou X
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．China Prepares for Next Manned Mission
    B．Shenzhou X Spacecraft Mission Is a Success
    C．China’s Shenzhou X Is Now in Space
    D．Astronauts of Shenzhou X Mission Are Meeting Media

    Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.
    One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.
    After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said.“It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added.
    小题1:Why was the university criticized on the Internet?
    A．The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple.
    B．Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous.
    C．Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam.
    D．The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat.
    小题2:What’s most of the Kasetsart University students’ attitude towards the cheating hat?
    A．skepticalB．supportiveC．objectiveD．negative
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that_______.
    A．It’s useless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam.
    B．Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam.
    C．Wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective in some degree.
    D．Some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat.

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska--The 2004 winner of Alaska’s famous 1,000-mile sled-dog race, the Iditarod, won again at age 53 to become the oldest champion in 2013, a year after his son became the youngest winner.
    Mitch Seavey got his dogs to the finishing line first in 9 days, 7 hours, 39 minutes and 56 seconds. His son, Dallas Seavey, now 26, ended up ranking fourth, behind the older competitor, 43-year-old Aliy Zirkle, who followed four-time champion Jeff King, now 57.
    Mitch Seavey, who lives in Seward, Alaska, operates a seasonal sled-dog touring business. The race was Mitch Seavey’s 20th Iditarod.
    This year’s contest was marked by unusual conditions and unseasonable rain in the northern part of the trail, and conditions that Seavey said helped his team. “It seems like the tougher it is, the better we can do.”
    He also thought highly of Zirkle, a New England immigrant（移民）who now lives in Two Rivers, Alaska. “She’s a great musher（赶狗拉雪橇的人）, and she’s going to win the Iditarod sometime, and probably more than once. We just had a little more energy, I think.” Zirkle, one of the most popular mushers, was greeted by shouts of  “Aliy, Ally” from the fans as she drove her dog team approaching the finishing line on Nome’s Front Street. “I am pretty happy to be here,” she said. “I was going for it.”
    The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is one of the few major U. S. sports events in which men and women compete on an equal footing. The name “Iditarod” dates from a local Athabascan term meaning “a far, distant place”. Youthful mushers in the race may have some physical advantages--they can do some things more easily. But more importantly, winning the race needs the experience in dog race.
    The year’s event started on Saturday, March 2 with a ceremonial nm in Anchorage. Of the 66 mushers who started the race, 10 had dropped out of competition as of Tuesday night. For his victory, Mitch Seavey will take home $50,400 and a new truck.

    A．Mitch Seavey is the oldest competitor in the sled-dog race in 2013.
    B．Mitch Seavey, who operates a touring business, is a New England immigrant.
    C．Mitch Seavey won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 2004 and 2013.
    D．Mitch Seavey managed to help his son become the youngest winner in 2012.
    小题2:On which day did Mitch Seavey probably win the champion in the 2013 Iditarod?
    A．On Saturday, March 2.B．On Monday, March 11.
    C．On Saturday, March 9.D．On Tuesday, March 13.
    小题3: Who ranked the 2nd place in the 2013 Iditarod according to the passage?
    A．Aliy Zirkle.B．Dallas Seavey.
    C．Mitch Seavey.D．Jeff King.
    小题4: According to the passage, we can learn that ________.
    A．the sled-dog race is the most important sports event in the US
    B．experience also has a major influence on the result of the race besides age
    C．men and women can’t compete in the sled-dog race together at the same time
    D．all the athletes in the sled-dog race are limited by age to win the sled-dog race

    If you look for a book as a present for a child，you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Potter． J．K Rowling’s wizard is not alone．The past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings．
    Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children．According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn’t like reading at all．In 2003, 35% didn’t．And around 6% of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly．
