    A growing number of college students are applying to take entry tests for medical and dental （牙科的） schools among increasing graduate unemployment in Korea.
    “I’ve decided to apply for the test to enter a medical college to become a doctor, changing from my original plan to prepare for a lawyer qualification exam in order to get a more stable job in the future,” said a 24-year-old college graduate, Lee, who majored in business administration during his undergraduate schooling.
    The new medical and dental school system is getting popularity, attracting an increasing number of students every year since its appearance in 2004, as it is open to all college graduates regardless of their previous majors.
    The Education Development introduced the new medical and dental education system, in which college students with bachelor’s degrees are allowed to study medicine or dentistry by taking the Medical Education Test (MET) and Dental Education Test (DET).
    Ten medical schools and six dental colleges that have used the new system have received 4,377 applications (申请) for the entrance exams.
    Applicants are getting younger compared with those in their 20s representing 76.9 percent of the total. The tests might be easier for students with biology and chemistry majors, but graduates from other majors are also applying for the tests.
    Under the existing medical and dental education system, students should take a two-year premedical course followed by a four-year medical course.
    Students graduating under the new medical or dental education system are given master’s degrees, while those graduates who studied under the previous system have bachelor’s degrees.
    小题1:Why do more and more Korean students apply for medical schools?
    A．Because doctors are highly respected in Korea.
    B．Because they want to get a more stable job.
    C．Because medicine is easier to learn than other subjects.
    D．Because the medical education system is reasonable.
    小题2:Students in the old system may spend _______ years at college to get bachelor’s degrees.
    A．twoB．fourC．sixD．seven
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that _______.
    A．it takes a longer time to get the master’s degree in the old system
    B．students may find it a lot easier to get a bachelor’s degree in medicine
    C．graduates from other majors like history are not allowed to apply for those schools
    D．the new system are not so popular as expected because of its high unemployment

    A couple of years ago, before a trip to China, Nicole Davis and her US women’s volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence (显著、突出) of coach “Jenny” Lang Ping in her native country.
    “I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus,” said Davis.
    Known as the “Iron Hammer” for her punishing spikes(扣球), Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s. She was a key player on China’s 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team.
    When the US team arrived for the Olympics, Lang, 48, who is from Beijing, had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.
    Then came the greatest moment to Lang：while the US team was playing in a packed gym, at least 8,000 Chinese fans unfurled an American flag.
    “That really says it all,” Davis said. “They look at her as an icon(偶像)．I’m sure it’s hard for them to see her coaching another country, but they love her so deeply that her success is their success.”
    The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday, when China lost a match to the US.
    “It’s a pity that China lost the match, but I’m still glad that Lang Ping’s team won, since she is the pride of China’s volleyball,” said Liu Chengli, a spectator. “We also cheered for Lang’s victory.”
    Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet. “It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team. It’s the same.” Lang said.
    Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US. The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players, said a US volleyball player Lindsey Berg.
    “It’s such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China,” she said. “The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous. The whole event has been unbelievable.”

    D．didn’t want to disturb public order
    小题3:What does the underlined word “unfurled” exactly mean?

    A．American Volleyball Team will beat any team.
    B．Chinese Volleyball Team is the same as other teams.
    C．She just tried to stay professional.

    WASHINGTON — It is announced Friday that White House visitor records will be opened up on a regular basis for the first time in modern history, providing the public an unusually detailed look at who gets the opportunity to help shape American policy at the highest levels.
    “Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process,” the president said in a written statement issued by the White House while he vacationed with his family at Camp David.
    By the end of the year, the White House will begin posting online every month the names of the people who visited in the last 90 to 120 days.

About 70,000 to 100,000 people visit the White House each month, and the records will include tourists as well as people conducting business.
    The White House pointed out several exceptions to the policy: “purely personal guests” of the Obama family; those cases in which the disclosure(透露) of visitors’ names “would threaten national safety interests”; and those who come for “particularly sensitive meetings,” like candidates for a Supreme Court nomination(提名). Officials said only a “small number” will fit in the latter category（类别）, and their names would eventually be disclosed after they are no longer secret, like after a nomination is publicly announced. Moreover, they said, the number of undisclosed visitors will be disclosed, to make clear how few they are.

    Thai authorities have been urged to see to it that condominiums (公寓), apartment houses and other lodgings available to tourists throughout the country will be of higher quality than today, a leading tourism businesswoman has said.
    Piyaman Techapaibul, president of the Tourism Council of Thailand, called on the Ministry of Tourism & Sports as well as other government agencies concerned to have those places and accommodations for tourists improved and upgraded to meet international standards because, she said, today's tourists from around the world have more money to spend and prefer quality lodgings as well as quality services and accommodations at those places.
    "Added by condos and apartment houses currently opening for daily rent, the number of lodgings for tourists throughout the country has increased over the years, but not the qualities. Many of today's tourists are so affluent and selective that they'd prefer quality places where personnel should be very responsible and experienced in taking care of them while security should be constantly and effectually maintained," she said.
    Employees and staff in charge of providing accommodations to tourists should be expert in communicating with the foreigners, service-minded and speak fluent English, according to the council leader.
    Thailand is seen to receive up to 23.1 million tourists from other countries around the world next year, compared to about 21.7 million, who have reportedly visited the country throughout this year, about 2.6 million of whom from China, while as much as two trillion baht (US$66.6 billion) is expected to be earned from tourist industry by 2015, compared to about one trillion baht (US$33.3 billion) this year.
    Thailand's most favorite destinations for tourists include the world-famous beach resorts of Pattaya and Phuket, the Andaman Sea archipelagos of Krabi and Surat Thani and the capital city of Bangkok.
    The council leader made her comments in response to news reports that the government might deregulate (撤销管制) businesses of running condominiums and apartment houses to the extent that they might not only serve as a place which collects monthly rent from the tenants but as a hotel where guests pay the room rates on a daily basis.
    No parking lots or hotel-operating licenses might be legally required at such places nationwide only if they were practically turned into daily hotels or guesthouses.
    小题1:What can we learn from paragraph 1?
    A．Thai started to take measures to have the accommodations improved in the past.
    B．Tourism is the leading industry in Thailand.
    C．The accommodations in Thailand are of poor quality.
    D．Tourists prefer hotels to apartment houses in Thai.
    小题2: What does the underlined word “affluent” in paragraph 3 mean?
    A．particularB．prosperousC．sensitiveD．restricted
    小题3: According to the passage, how many people went to Thailand for a trip except China this year?
    A．about 23,1 millionB．about 21.7 million
    C．about 2.6 millionD．about 19.1 million
    小题4: Why did the authorities in Thai need to have the lodgings improved?
    A．Because tourists prefer better service and better living condition
    B．Because tourists have plenty of money.
    C．Because they want to meet the international standards
    D．Because the condominiums in Thai are inferior to those in any other country.
    小题5: According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?
    A．Piyaman advocated the authorities not to limit the development of the condos.
    B．Bangkok is one of the most attractive destinations for tourists
    C．Thailand has earned about one trillion baht from tourist industry this year.
    D．Staff in condos should speak English fluently.

    The ISS project is a partnership of five - the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada.
    At the moment, no program for its use nor any money has been put in place to support the platform beyond 2015.  
    One of the biggest issues stopping an agreement on station-life extension（延长期） is the human spaceflight examination ordered by US President Barack Obama.
    The Americans are developing a new vision for space exploration, and the rockets and spacecraft they will need to start it. The future of US joining in the ISS is closely tied to the result of the examination.
    Mr Dordain, the European Space Agency's (Esa) Director General, said no one partner in the ISS project could alone call an end to the platform. A meeting would be held in Japan later in the year where he hoped the partners could get something clearly going forward. He said it was also necessary the benefits（成效） were increased and the costs were reduced. Increasing the benefits could include finding new uses for the station.
    Esa has called for ideas on how to use the ISS as a platform for Earth observation（观测站）. Mr Dordain said the agency had received about 20 very good proposals.
    On the issue of reducing costs, there were many ideas on the table, he explained.
    He also questioned whether it was necessary for the station to have six astronauts at all times. If there were periods when little maintenance（维修） was required or the experiment load was light, could the ISS run on a smaller group of people, he suggested.
    Construction of the space station should finish this year. Next month, two components built in Europe - a connecting node and a robotic control room - will be flown to the platform by the US shuttle Endeavour.
    Tranquility and the Cupola, as they are known, will complete the non-Russian side of the ISS.
    小题1:Why will America joining in the ISS be tied to the result of the examination?
    A．Because America is the greatest power among them
    B．Because America provides most of the money
    C．Because they need America’s rockets and spacecraft
    D．Because Obama ordered the human spaceflight examination
    小题2:According to Mr Dordain, how should they do to reduce costs?
    A．To find new uses for the station
    B．To make little maintenance
    C．To reduce the experiment load
    D．To have fewer astronauts sometimes
    小题3:Where do you think you can read this passage?
    A．In a story bookB．In a handbook

    BEIJING, March, 17th --The Japanese automaker Toyota will recall some 4,400 units of FJ Cruiser cars in China over seat belt flaws, China's consumer quality watchdog said Saturday.
    The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said on its website that Toyota China will recall these imported cars produced between December 2007 and March 2013.
    Toyota is busy working on the solution to the flaw and will release improvement methods before April 15, according to the administration.
    This marks Toyota's second recalling this year after the auto giant announced in January that it would recall 22,869 units of Lexus IS cars in China due to wiper arm problem.
    China's private auto ownership reached 93.09 million units by the end of 2012, up 18.3 percent compared with the year before. Along with the fast expanding auto market, Chinese drivers grow more concerned about the quality of their cars.
    Also on Saturday, the AQSIQ said in a statement on its website that its research has basically confirmed the German automaker Volkswagen's direct shift gearbox (DSG) transmission has defects which may cause engine power failures and urged Volkswagen to recall defective cars after China Central Television (CCTV) exposed Volkswagen's gearbox defect on Friday.
    To better protect the interests of Chinese consumers, the AQSIQ announced late last year that it would formulate a guideline to regulate a recall system for faulty cars.
    小题1:What does underlined the word “recall” in the first paragraph probably mean?
    A．To ask people to return a product.
    B．To bring something into one’s mind.
    C．To remember something from the past.
    D．To ask someone to go back.
    小题2:According to the passage, Lexus IS cars were found to have       .
    A．seat belt flawsB．wiper arm problem
    C．gearbox defectD．engine power failure
    小题3:What is the purpose of regulating a recall system for faulty cars?

    B．For a better development of national automobile industry of China.
    C．In order to show the authority and power of AQSIQ.
    D．For a better protection of rights and interests of Chinese consumers.
    小题4:What was China’s private auto ownership by the end of 2011?

    Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and take photos wherever you are, but they also turn you into a workaholic（工作狂）.
    A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.
    Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.
    Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: “The ability to access millions of applications has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are disadvantages. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in touch we become, the more is expected of us in work . ”
    小题1:With a smartphone the average UK working day is _______.
    A．2 hours B．9 to 10 hoursC．11 to 12 hoursD．24 hours
    小题2:It could be inferred from the text that the British people _______.
    A．prefer to check emails in the morning
    B．are crazy about different smartphones
    C．shorten their normal working hours
    D．work extra hours with smartphones
    小题3:What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smartphones?
    A．They are unimportant for most of people.
    B．They have disadvantages for some companies.
    C．They make it impossible for people to rest.
    D．They are useful to improve a work ability.
    小题4:Where can we most probably read this text?
    A．In a science fiction.B．In a newspaper.
    C．In a travel magazine.D．In a storybook.

    Taiwanese fishing boats that sailed to the Diaoyu Islands to protest Japan's "purchase" of part of the islands completed their voyage Tuesday morning and have set sail for home.
    Local media reported that the boats finished their protest at 9:15 a.m. and are expected to return to a port in northeast Taiwan's Yilan county at noon Wednesday.
    Although the boats originally numbered 75，they were joined at sea by other boats from different parts of Taiwan, raising the total number to about 100 vessels. Organizers said the voyage was made to protect Taiwanese fishing rights in nearby waters and to protest Japan's "purchase" of part of the Diaoyu Islands.
    The Japanese government announced a plan to "purchase" part of the islands earlier this month despite repeated protests from the Chinese government. The action aroused demonstrations across China as well as consumers' boycott of Japanese products in recent weeks. Local authorities in Taiwan have also protested the move.
    "Japan's purchase and nationalization of China's Diaoyu Islands are putting China-Japan economic and trade ties at risk due to man-made factors." An official spokesman from Beijing warned .
    China-Japan economic and trade relations was back on track in 1952 when the two countries signed their first non-governmental trade agreement. Currently, China has been Japan's largest trade partner since 2007 while Japan is China’s fourth largest trade partner, after the EU, U.S. and the ASEAN. Meanwhile, China is the biggest destination for Japanese exports and biggest source of imports. In the first half of 2012, Japan's exports to China totaled 73.54 billion U.S. dollars, down 6.2 percent from the same period last year, while its import from China was 91.29 billion U.S. dollars, up 7 percent from the same period last year.
    Now, China-Japan economic and trade relations are at a crossroads. Negotiation could be the way out of the rift.
    小题1:Why are China-Japan economic and trade relations at a crossroads?
    A．Because Taiwan fishing boats sailed to the island to protest Japan.
    B．Because Taiwanese are deprived of their fishing right.
    C．Because Japan is not China's largest trade partner.
    D．Because Japan announced to purchase China's Diaoyu Islands.
    小题2:We can infer from the passage that _____.
    A．About 100 boats joined the original team later.
    B．Negotiation will bring both countries out of the conflict.
    C．Japan's “purchase”has cast a shadow on China-Japan export and import.
    D．Japan's exports to China totaled 78 billion U.S. dollars in 2011.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “rift” in the last paragraph mean?
    A．gapB．conflictC．crashD．quarrel
    小题4:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Japan declared to purchase China's Diaoyu Islands.
    B．Japan's purchase of Diaoyu Islands aroused nationwide protest.
    C．The Diaoyu Islands belong to China!
    D．China plays an important part in Japan's economy development.
