    The unimaginable earthquake in Haiti has shocked the world. Thanks to modern communication technology, the world has seen the scale of destruction by the 7.0- magnitude quake. Images on TV and the Internet show the Haiti capital has been reduced to rubble and helpless survivors waiting for relief.
    So far, at least 50,000 people are feared dead, and tens of thousands left injured or homeless in one of the poorest countries in the West. The number of dead is rising with each passing hour for a few days. Considering Haiti’s total population is only about 8.5 million, the extent of damage will reach every field of the country’s social structures.
    Rescuers from countries such as China, the United States, France and Dominican Republic have already reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food and medicines, life-detecting devices and other rescue equipment. Politicians，workers and Hollywood actors have opened their wallets and called for donations to help disaster relief. The whole world is ready to help them. The world is a village today where no one can remain indifferent when a neighbor falls in disaster.
    The suffering of people anywhere in the world strikes the hearts of Chinese people. The death of eight Chinese peacekeepers in Haiti has little to do with it. Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because just less than 20 months ago they were struggling to rise from the earthquake.
    Though Beijing and Port-au-Prince have no diplomatic relations, China was among the first nations to send a rescue team and to announce a donation. In the face of natural disasters, respect for human lives overtakes diplomacy and national boundaries. We share the pain of the Haitian people, and we believe China’s experience in rescue and operations and reconstructions will help reduce that pain.
    The most pressing task after a quake is the golden-hour rescue operation. Many Haitians are buried under rubble, and relentless efforts must be made to save as many of them as possible. Yet there remains a question on how effectively the flows of aid from around the world be managed. It is here that the UN can play the leading role, for it should be responsible for common humanitarian efforts from across the globe to reach the benefits to the maximum number of people.
    After the 2004 tsunami killed more than 200,000 people in Asia, some experts said the UN needed to build a well-equipped and trained force disaster rescue specialists and keep it on standby to help people after natural disasters such as the Haiti quake. It is time the UN gave the idea a serious thought, for a life-saving force could play as important as its peacekeeping soldiers.
    60.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A.The number of Haiti’s total population is about 8.5 billion
    B.Rescuers from many countries have reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food, water and medicines.
    C.Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because we have the same experiences.
    D.The flows of aid from the world has been managed well.
    61.The word “indifferent” underlined in the third paragraph most probably means ______.
    A.cruel         B.friendly        C.cold         D.warm
    62. We can infer that people around the world actively help the Haitians because ______.
    A.people among countries have close relations
    B.earthquake is a natural disaster, people respect human lives, and show common feelings to people in trouble
    C.people should be responsible
    D.people have ever been rescued by Haitians
    63.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A.The UN plays an important role
    B.We are with you, Haiti
    C.People share the pain with the Haitian people
    D.Modern communication technology is used widely

    BEIJING — The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead. The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe (调查) into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China’s Shanxi Province. Preliminary（初步的） investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam（未经授权的煤层）, and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity.
    This mine was found to have long ignored the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident.
    How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?
    In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip-offs.
    We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines.
    But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines.
    The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive (连续的)local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were.
    What if these inspections were just a formality(形式)? What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials.
    So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners. A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed
    64. What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?
    A. The workers didn’t operate properly.
    B. The mine didn’t obey the rules to mine for coal.
    C. A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine.
    D. The safety inspections were ineffective.
    65. According to the writer, who should be further investigated?
    A. Mine owners and miners.                B. Miners’ families and mine staff.
    C. Government officials and safety inspectors.  D. The Shanxi governor and miners.
    66. What can we infer from the passage?
    A. More than 105 miners died in the disaster.
    B. Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province.
    C. Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers.
    D. The three inspections were only a formality.
    67. What does the underlined word “tip-offs” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
    A. Some warnings.             B. Some money for one’s service.
    C. Some secret information.     D. Some pieces of advice.

    BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua)-China's top economic planning body has confirmed the government will take concrete actions to develop a low-carbon economy after it promised to considerably reduce carbon emission (排放) at  last year's Copenhagen Climate Conference.
    China would include the low-carbon targets in the 12th five-year plan for national economic development (2011-2015) to build an energy-saving, ecologically friendly society, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a report to the Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC).
    The report said the government would launch a series of technological and financial support policies to promote the use of non-fossil, renewable energies including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal (地热) and nuclear power, aiming to increase its percentage of primary energy consumption to about 15 percent by 2020 from 9.9 percent at the end of last year.
    China's installed wind power capacity (容量) reached 15 million kilowatts, with 10 million kilowatts under construction at the end of June 2009, while nuclear power under construction, installed hydro-electric power capacity and solar heating collection areas were the highest in the world, it said.
    The commission was also planning to make a catalog (目录) of emissions of greenhouse gases in an effort to build a monitoring and checking system to cut carbon emissions.
    The economic planner decided to control unnecessary construction and industries with surplus (多余的)production capacities, such as steel, cement and electrolytic aluminum, to promote the energy efficiency and environmental protection.
    The government had drafted a plan on regional development to transfer industries in eastern areas to central and western regions.
    The State Council announced in November that China would reduce the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with the level of 2005.
    67.Which of the following best summarizes the low-carbon economy China is to develop?
    A.Energy-saving and ecologically friendly.
    B.Promoting the use of clean energy.
    C.Developing the industry in the wild west.
    D.Reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 50 percent.
    68.Which of the following does NOT belong to China's low-carbon measures mentioned in the text?
    A.Limiting the use of nuclear power and other primary energy.
    B.Setting up a system to monitor and check carbon emission.
    C.Controlling unnecessary construction and industries with extra production capacities.
    D.Planning to move industries from eastern areas to central and western regions.
    69.If you are planning to start your own business in line with the low-carbon economy, which is the best choice?
    A. An iron and steel plant.     B. A petrochemical works.
    C. A solar heating company.  D. A construction company.
    70.The passage is mainly about     .
    A. China's plan of economy development in the 12th five-year plan
    B. China's efforts to build up a low-carbon economy
    C. NDRC's reaction to Copenhagen Climate Conference
    D. NDRC's plan handed over to the Standing committee of 11th NPC

    B
    WASHINGTON – It’s a great achievement that inspires notions of robots with consciousness and independent minds.
    When people or animals get hurt, they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them stumble and fall. However, a recently made robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage.
    The new robot, which looks like a splay – legged, four – footed starfish can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recover from unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers to be able to fix things on their own,” says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Vermont, who is one of the device’s creator. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to Earth.”
    A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot’s movements and signals to its built – in computer. From the formation it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot’s legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking – it used three legs instead of four.
    The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One pellicle spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea terrain might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish  is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again.” Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.
    46．The newly designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it___________
    A．can communicate with people on the earth about their problems
    B．works according to a certain computer program
    C．can find its problems and solve them automatically
    D．can explore unfamiliar places
    47．An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot ___________
    A．is used to create new programs
    B．has typical robot functions
    C．has sensors to observe its movements
    D．can gather information and adapt to new conditions
    48．The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robot is ___________.
    A．creative    B．newly made     C．able to recover    D．informative
    49．Which of the following is TURE about the robot “Starfish”?
    A．It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability?
    B．It will stumble and fall if damaged.
    C．It can grow its legs again once they are broken.
    D．It has started to work on the ocean floor.
    50．What might be the best title of the passage?
    A．How does the Starfish Robot work
    B．Do – It – Yourself Robot Repair
    C．Robots Designed to Work On Other Planets
    D．New Robot Helping Us In Many Ways
