    Unemployment in Europe has recently hit record highs. Although Denmark has been protected from economic problems thanks to its low public debt, qualified (有资格的) professionals are still finding it tough to get a job. Danish marketing firm Reputation Copenhagen has come up with a way of helping academics get noticed -- putting them on display (展示) in storefront windows.
    Many highly-trained professionals, ranging from former CEOs to lawyers and tax experts, are currently finding it increasingly difficult to find proper employment on the Danish job market. Some of them have been trying for years, leaving their resumes (简历) with dozens of companies, without ever hearing back from them, and are now at a point where they are willing to try anything, even putting themselves in display windows like goods, hoping to get noticed.
    Alexander Peitersen, managing director of Reputation Copenhagen, came up with the idea of using his company's office as a storefront for the campaign (活动), as there are many businesses nearby that might be interested in the talents on display. So he set up a small desk, put up the “an available academic is sitting here” sign and asked the unemployed to just sit in the windows like goods. It seems like a pretty desperate measure, but at least it works. According to the agency's website, three of the jobseekers in their window display got a job in a day or two.
    Peitersen says he came up with the idea after realizing human resource managers get hundreds of job applications every day, which look more or less the same, and that creative thinking is required in order to increase the chances of finding employment. Apart from companies interested in qualified job-seekers, the campaign has also attracted the attention of both local and international media.
    小题1:Which of the following words can be used to describe Peitersen?
    A．Independent. B．Creative. C．Sensitive. D．Cautious.
    小题2:Some job-seekers are willing to put themselves in the windows to display in that ______.
    A．they think it is fashionable
    B．their parents ask them to
    C．it’s increasingly difficult to get hired
    D．they find it’s interesting
    小题3:It can be Inferred that ______.
    A．no companies show interest in the qualified job-seekers in the windows
    B．both local and international media don't agree with the campaign
    C．human resource managers have to reply to hundreds of applicants
    D．to some degree the window displays help people find jobs
    小题4:What is the text mainly about?
    A．Job-seekers are displayed in the windows hoping to get hired.
    B．The rate of unemployment in Europe has recently become hitter.
    C．It is hard for qualified professionals to get a job.
    D．Denmark has avoided economic problems due to its low public debt.

    STARBUCKS China yesterday renamed a newly­opened outlet near one of Buddhism's most famous temples after a wave of controversy over what critics called a “cultural invasion”．
    The coffee shop in Hangzhou had opened as the Lingyin Temple Starbucks, leading some people to believe it was located inside the renowned temple.
    However, the company said in a statement yesterday that the coffee shop was actually in the Lingyin scenic area, about 20 minutes' walk from the temple's entrance.It was said the outlet would now be known as the Lingyin Starbucks.
    Wang Shan, deputy director of the Lingyin office of the West Lake Administration in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, said, “Actually, the coffee house is a long distance from the temple.It is located in the tourist service area on Lingyin Road outside of the temple, as part of the supporting facilities.”
    The temple's administration urged the cafe to change its name to make it clear that it was not located inside the temple.
    In a heated online debate, critics said the U．S.chain's commercial style would spoil the serenity that an oriental Buddhism temple should embrace.
    Supporters, however, said that the talk of an “invasion” was misplaced as the outlet was not inside the temple but on a nearby commercial street where a KFC restaurant and a shopping mall had been open for more than six months.
    The incident follows calls in 2009 to stop an earlier “cultural invasion” when the Seattle­based coffee chain had to move its outlet out of Beijing's Forbidden City seven years after it opened.
    Critics urged closure of the outlet, which they said was a “humiliation” for a culture exemplified by the ancient buildings.
    小题1:Why did the temple's administration urge the cafe to change its name?
    A．To attract the tourists.
    B．To tell the public the coffee outlet doesn't lie inside the temple.
    C．To obey the government.
    D．To do something to protect the temple.
    小题2:Why did the Seattle­based coffee chain have to move its outlet out of Beijing's Forbidden City?
    A．Because the Seattle­based coffee chain was thought as an earlier “cultural invasion”．
    B．Because it changed Chinese culture.
    C．Because the Seattle­based coffee chain earned much more money than the temples.
    D．Because the Seattle­based coffee chain closed the shops by itself.
    小题3:What's the best title of this passage?
    A．Coffee shop's new outlet deletes the word “temple”．
    B．Cultural invasion.
    C．Starbucks chain invasion.
    D．Seattle­based coffee chain's invasion.

    You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
    The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it ,we’ll become more intelligent.
    The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.
    I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.
    小题1:What can we learn from paragraph 1?
    A．Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
    B．Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.
    C．There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.
    D．There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.
    小题2:Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect?
    A．Because a study described it in the journal Nature.
    B．Because Mozart himself was a genius.
    C．Because Mozart’s music is enjoyable.
    D．Because Mozart’s music makes people relaxed.
    小题3:The underlined sentence in paragraph3 suggests that       .
    A．people were strongly against the idea
    B．the idea was accepted by many people
    C．Mozart played an important part in people’s life
    D．the US government helped promote the idea
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect?
    A．FavorableB．ObjectiveC．DoubtfulD．Positive
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Listening to Mozart , necessary?B．What music is beneficial?
    C．What is the Mozart effect?D．To be or not to be?

    Mona Lisa, the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci's 16th century masterpiece, had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the painting, a French art expert said on Tuesday. The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special infrared(红外线) and three-dimensional（三维的）technology to study the paint layers on the work, which now sits in the Louvre museum in Paris.
    Bruno Mottin of the French Museums' Center for Research and Restoration said that on very close examination of the painting it became clear that the Mona Lisa's dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil.（透明面纱）
    "This type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth. This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine," he told a news conference.
    "We can now say that this painting by Leonardo da Vinci was painted in memory of  the birth of the second son of Mona Lisa, which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503."The young woman with the ambiguous half smile has been identified as Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine merchant Francesco de Giocondo. She had five children.
    "People always wrote that Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. This greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue (美德)," he said.
    The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo’s painting techniques, which the artist used to create a hazy (朦胧的) effect. But scientist John Taylor said the team had been disappointed by the lack of brush stroke（笔触）detail on the painting.
    小题1:According to the latest research, Mona Lisa was __________.
    A．a woman of poor virtueB．da Vinci’s second wife
    C．a woman who was pregnant D．the wife of Florentine merchant
    小题2:We can infer from the test that ___________.
    A．The research has been carried out in France
    B．Mona Lisa was painted in 1503 at the latest
    C．In da Vinci’s time women could only wear short hair
    D．the most difficulty is to identify the paint layers
    小题3:What is probably the best title for the test?
    A．Mona Lisa ,the Mysterious Woman
    B．Mona Lisa was a New Mother
    C．Great Discovery in Painting
    D．Leonardo’s Painting Technique
    小题4:The information reported in the text was first got from _______________.
    A．a newspaperB．the Internet

    In 1980，Candy Lightner’s 13-year-old daughter Cad was killed by a drunk driver as she walked down a suburban street in California. “I promised myself on the day of my daughter’s death that I would fight to make this needless accident count for something positive in the years ahead,” Candy Lightener later wrote.
    The drunk driver received a two-year prison sentence. However, he avoided prison by serving time in a work camp and a halfway house. Ms. Lightner was very angry about that and so organized Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), which later changed to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The aim of her organization was to raise public awareness of the serious nature of drunk driving and to promote tough legislation against the crime.
    Before Ms. Lightner’s MADD, intoxication (醉酒), including drunk driving, was not taken seriously. Intoxication was often used as an excuse for otherwise unacceptable behavior: “I didn’t know what I was doing—I was drunk.”
    Candy Lightner appeared on major television shows, spoke before the US Congress, addressed professional and business, groups, and worked tirelessly for years to change public attitudes, change judicial(审判的) behaviour, and promote tough new legislation. Ms. Lightner left MADD because the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. “I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving.”
    The President of the United States awarded her the President’s Volunteer Action Award and she was the subject of the movie “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers: the Candy Lightner Story”.
    小题1:One of the purposes of MADD was to______ .
    A．make the public aware of the danger of drunk driving
    B．fight against the drunk hit-and-run drivers on the road
    C．make new laws against crimes caused by drinking
    D．warn people not to drink alcohol while driving
    小题2:which way didn’t Ms. Lightner use to achieve her MADD’s goals?
    A．Talking on major TV shows.
    B．Giving a talk to businessmen.
    C．Applying for a job with the government.
    D．Giving suggestions to the US Congress.
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that______.
    A．the drunk driver had not been caught
    B．drunk driving didn’t receive enough attention before MADD
    C．Candy Lightner played a leading role in a film
    D．MADD didn’t get much support from society
    小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Ways to prevent drunk driving
    B．Purposes of founding MADD
    C．New law against drunk driving
    D．Candy Lightner and her MADD

    With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks' dramatic reversed(扭转) victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.
    The Knicks have won six games in a row, and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions. Although the season is still young, the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. Lin, not team's high-paid stars, has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.
    After nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, Madison Square Garden is alive again, and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks. To put things into perspective（角度）, consider this: Just several years back, Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.
    Now, Madison Square Garden Co. shares are at a record high, the Knicks' average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容), and jersey sales are increasing very quickly. I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem, and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.
    Beyond the Knicks, Lin may be saving the NBA as well. Just a few months back, the NBA took a massive credibility（威信）hit during a multi-month lockout（停工）, where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels. As a consequence, the season did not even begin until Christmas Day. Over the past few years, LeBron James' (勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events, combined with poor play around the league, have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.
    Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival. His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans, increased NBA sales in China, and turned the basketball world upside down.
    小题1:The passage is mainly about______
    A．why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin
    B．why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks
    C．how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff
    D．how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks, probably including the NBA
    小题2:According to the passage, Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following except___
    A．The NBA
    B．Coach Isiah Thomas
    C．The Knicks
    D．Madison Square Garden Co.’s shares
    小题3:The underlined word “young” in Paragraph 2 probably means "______"
    A．not old yet.B．not completely grown.
    C．in the developmentD．in the early stage
    小题4:The NBA suffered the credibility crisis months ago because____
    A．The NBA delayed the season because of players’ wage disagreements
    B．the NBA was disappointed at James’ free-agent event.
    C．The NBA canceled the basketball match for the coming Christmas
    D．James had a bad performance in the basketball court
    小题5:Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．These Knicks’ stars who were paid well saved the Knicks season
    B．The Knicks didn’t satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season
    C．The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the Garden
    D．The owners and the players didn’t agree on raising the TV ratings

    “I stepped out and was flabbergasted,” local journalist Bahram Baloch told the BBC. “I could see this gray, dome-shaped (圆顶形的) body in the distance, like a giant whale swimming near the surface. Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in disbelief.”
    This island has become a global curiosity. How was it formed in just a few minutes?
    As you might already know, many islands in the sea are formed by volcanoes. There are numerous volcanoes under the sea. As the hot lava erupts and cools down, it piles up and forms the shape of a mountain. When the mountain “grows” to higher than the sea level, the part that’s above the water is what we call an “island”.
    This is how the island was formed after the Pakistan earthquake, except that instead of a regular volcano, it was a “mud volcano” that brought about this island. Lava is not the only thing that’s locked under the Earth’s crust — there is also gas. When an earthquake happens and breaks part of the crust, the gas is released at an extremely high speed, pushing mud up to the surface, according to National Geographic.
    But only earthquakes that are extremely powerful can cause mud volcanoes to push up enough mud to produce islands — and this 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Pakistan was strong enough. The island is about 20 meters high, up to about 90 meters wide and 30 meters long, nearly the size of a soccer field.
    In fact, mud volcano islands aren’t new. This is the fourth island of this kind in the region since 1945. But those islands usually didn’t last long.
    “It will probably be gone within a couple of months,” said Bill Barnhart, a researcher with the US Geological Survey. After all, “it’s just a big pile of mud that was on the seafloor that got pushed up”.
    小题1:What is the article mainly about?
    A．The disastrous effects of coastal earthquakes.
    B．The difference between mud volcanoes and regular volcanoes.
    C．How islands are formed by mud volcanoes.
    D．The great natural wonders of Pakistan.
    小题2:The underlined word “flabbergasted” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.
    A．surprisedB．disappointedC．worriedD．curious
    小题3:We can infer from the article that __________.
    A．the new island near the coast of Pakistan actually took a few months to form
    B．scientists still know little about different types of volcanoes
    C．another earthquake is likely to happen in Pakistan within a couple of months
    D．not all volcanoes change the geological appearance of the Earth
    小题4:According to the article, islands formed by mud volcanoes __________.
    A．are quite difficult to locate
    B．usually disappear after a short period of time
    C．are formed by hot lava from volcanoes
    D．used to be part of the Earth’s crust
