    At least 115 Chinese miners have been pulled alive from a flooded coal mine after more than seven days trapped underground.
    Rescuers cheered and some shed tears as the latest survivors emerged alive Monday after more than a week trapped in a flooded mine in north China's Shanxi Province. Officials were also relieved as their round-the-clock rescue mission prevented one of the country's worst mining disasters.
    The head of the province's Work Safety ministry, Luo Lin, was among thousands of relatives waiting desperately for news at the pit entrance after rescuers said they had heard voices deep within the mine shaft over the weekend.
    It is a miracle in China's mining rescue history, Luo says. He thanked the rescuers for their effort as he counted the miners leaving the entrance.
    By late evening Monday, 115 miners had been pulled out alive, China's state media said. They were led to waiting ambulances with their eyes covered to prevent the glare from lights. All are said to be in a stable condition after being trapped in water for nearly nine days. They were able to breathe during their ordeal thanks to air pockets.                         
    Three-thousand rescuers dug and pumped water for seven days to reach the miners at the Wangjialing Coal Mine, which is considered a modern facility.
    The first survivors were brought to the surface shortly after midnight on Monday. Attempts to reach the 38 who remain trapped are continuing.
    153 people were believed to be trapped underground. But families say this is an underestimate, claiming many more were working in the mine at the time of the flooding.
    A preliminary investigation last week found that officials had ignored reports of water leaks prior to the accident.
    China relies heavily on coal to fuel its booming economy. But it has some of the most dangerous mines in the world, with many mine bosses ignoring safety concerns to meet demand and chase profits.
    The government has sought to improve safety in recent years by clamping down on illegal mines and this seems to have prevented many deaths.
    According to official figures, 2,631 coal miners died in 1,616 mine accidents in China in 2009 – down 18 percent from the previous year.
    64. Which is the best title of the passage?
    A. The Flooded Coal Mine  
    B. Miners Trapped were Saved
    C. The Worst Coal Mine Accident
    D. 115 Miners Rescued, 38 Still Missing 
    65. The underlined word “round-the-clock” in Para 2 most probably means “_______”.
    A. finishing before a particular time
    B. changing the time shown by clock
    C. all day and all night without stopping
    D. from the beginning to the end
    66. Which of the following is True according to the passage?
    A. Coal plays a decisive role in China’s economy.
    B. Mine accidents have been increasing in recent years.
    C. 115 miners were working underground when the flooding happened.
    D. About 3200 coal miners died in mine accidents in China in 2008.
    67. At least 115 coal miners were rescued _______.
    A. on the day the accident happened
    B. after more than 7 days trapped underground
    C. after working underground for 9 days
    D. 10 days after the accident happened

    请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
    A student tries to figure out a major that suits her.
    Bored by the Chinese courses he was majoring in, Zuo Cheng, 18, couldn’t imagine having to drag himself into class day after day, week after week, for four years. After rounds of examinations and interviews, he managed to transfer to the Department of International Accounting.
    “It may seem like I’ve wasted a year and have to start college all over again, but now that I’ve settled on a field I’ll be able to concentrate,” Zuo said.
    Zou is not alone.
    “When we were in high school very few of us understood how maajor relates to career. Many students picked colleges before majors, only to discover their mistake a few weeks after arrival on the campus,” said Jiang Xin, 20, who was able to switch to electrical engineering and automation from physics. He said that physics graduates had few other options besides going into teaching. He added that a career in education just didn’t suit him.
    “I should have better job prospects（前景）and the chance to earn more money once I graduate,” Jiang said.
    A new survey, of 2,500 students nationwide starting in September this year, suggests that as much as 35 percent of the students are disappointed by their courses. The least happy are those majoring in bioengineering, traditional Chinese medicine and math, while students of architecture, economics and foreign languages are the happiest, owing to good career prospects.
    However, Shao Yanfang, who works at the admissions office of University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, advised students to consider both short-and long-term goals.
    “After graduation do you want to find yourself in a job very specifically related to your college major? Or, would you like to posses the knowledge and skills that will enable you to work in many areas? There are the questions students need to consider. Above all, your choice of major should be based on your own interests, abilities and personality.” Shao said.
    The reasons for students to  76  to other majors
    		◆  77  interest in his own major
    ◆See few career   78  in his original major
    ◆Hope to earn more money after  79

    		◆35% express their  80  to their majors

    ◆Students of architecture, economies and foreign languages are the happiest,   82  of good career prospects
    Advice given by the   83  from admissions office of a university
    		Students should consider:
    ◆  84  you want to find yourself in a job very specifically related to your college major or posses the knowledge and skills that will enable you to work in many areas
    ◆You have to make your choice on the  85  of your own interests

    BEIJING, Nov. 30 – The Bird’s Nest may have been built for last year’s Summer Games but Beijing’s Olympic stadium will soon be aiming at fans of winter sports.
    As temperatures have begun to drop in recent weeks, so too has the number of visitors to the 80,000-seater venue, which cost 3.6 billion yuan ($527 million) to build.
    And, fearing another harsh (寒冷的) winter, National Stadium Co Ltd, which owns the Bird’s Nest, yesterday planed to spend 50 million yuan on a “snow festival”. 　
    From Dec 19, visitors will be able to pay 120 yuan to enjoy skiing and snowboarding, among other things, on its newly constructed slopes.
    The stadium owners expect to attract more than 20,000 visitors a day – twice as many as it currently does – during the two-month festival, which will include events for both the Western and Chinese new years.
    Officials revealed it would take just 5,000 visitors a day to cover the costs of the project.
    “It’s not a bad idea. You can ski on man-made snow in Dubai, so why not here?” said Heiko Grasse, a tourist from Germany, yesterday.
    Famous outdoor equipment makers and local brands are in talks over sponsorship for the event, the Bird’s Nest owners said yesterday, while the capital’s television network will also provide 500 hours of coverage.
    “The Bird’s Nest will not have a cold winter again,” Wu Jingjun, the new president of National Stadium Co Ltd, told China Daily yesterday. “We will create seasonal events almost every month from now on with assistance from the government and, importantly, the public.”
    Yang Cheng, a newly appointed vice-president of National Stadium Co Ltd, said the snow festival would run for five consecutive winters if successful.
    60. How many people visit The Bird’s Nest a day before the “snow festival”?
    A. About 80,000.   B. About 20,000.    C. About 10,000.   D. About 5,000. 
    61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A. The “snow festival” will attract more visitors from China than the Western countries.
    B. People aren’t allowed to visit The Bird’s Nest before Dec 19.
    C. The “snow festival” would run for at least five winters.
    D. More than 2.4 million yuan a day is expected to be made in the “snow festival”.
    62. What does Wu Jingjun mean by saying “The Bird’s Nest will not have a cold winter again”?
    A. The Bird’s Nest will be kept at high temperatures in winter.
    B. Winter Olympic Games will be held in The Bird’s Nest.
    C. The “snow festival” will provide many events in winter.
    D. The Bird’s Nest will get much more assistance from the government.
    63. Which of the following may NOT be included in the “snow festival” events?

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    IN a surprising discovery about where higher life can survive, scientists have found a shrimp-like creature and a jellyfish (水母) swimming beneath an Antarctic ice sheet.
    About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes (微生物) could exist.
    That’s why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly (下腹部) of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle (触须) they believe came from a jellyfish.
    “We were operating on the presumption (假定) that nothing’s there,” said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp you’d enjoy having on your plate.”
    “We were just gaga (狂热的) over it,” he said of the 7.5cm long, orange creature starring in their two-minute video. Technically, it’s not a shrimp. It’s a Lyssianasid amphipod (片脚类动物), which is distantly related to the shrimp.
    The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh (苛刻的) environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp-like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice in freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?
    Cynan Ellis-Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding intriguing (吸引人的). He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and don’t live there permanently.
    But Kim, who is a co-author of the study, doubts it. The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20cm-wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means it’s unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small of an area, she said.
    Yet scientists were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp can’t, Kim said.
    So how do they survive? That’s the key question, Kim said.
    “It’s pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything,” Kim said.
    56. Scientists had believed that harsh environments could only have been populated by ______.
    A. jellyfish      B. mammal    C. microbes      D. shrimp-like creature
    57. According to Kim, the shrimp-like creature ______.
    A. swam great distances to Antarctic                 B. has always lived in the region
    C. gradually evolved from shrimp                   D. has nothing in common with shrimp
    58. The finding is significant in that ______.
    A. it marks NASA’s first Antarctic biological study
    B. it proves there is marine life in the Antarctic
    C. it could inspire further study of life in harsh environment
    D. it shows that Lyssianasid amphipod is closely related to shrimp
    59. The last three paragraphs suggest that ______.
    A. researchers will look at the places the creatures came from
    B. ice scientists will drill deeper to find more creature
    C. scientists know very little about the planet they live on
    D. further research will be done about what the creatures live on
