    After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan's Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing---a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.
    The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin(弹性树脂) that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction. The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works. Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they're gone, there is no trace that they were ever there. The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.
    Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents. But the complete auto-healing won't come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $ 100 U.S. to the price of a car. It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X - Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven't been made yet, if it's a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well.
    小题1:From the article, we can find that_______.
    A．the paint has already been used on cars by now
    B．it beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect
    C．car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes
    D．marketing this paint in Europe is not under way
    小题2:The paint used on cars can______.
    A．last 3 years before it is re-applied again
    B．fade only in a few days
    C．help to protect cars from minor paint damage
    D．reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent
    小题3:What can be inferred from the article?
    A．The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company.
    B．The paint might work better in summer than in winter.
    C．The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the paint is applied.
    D．The paint is very popular in Japan.

    小题1:D.
    小题2:C.
    小题3:B
    文章介绍了一种能自己修复的油漆。
    小题1:细节题。根据文章倒数4,5行It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X - Trail SUVs in Japan for now,可知这种油漆现在只计划在日本使用。故D正确。
    小题2:细节题。根据第2段2,3,4三行that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.可知C正确。
    小题3:细节题。根据四2段4,5行The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage,可知也许夏天更加有效。A是直接出现的，不是推理的。

If your goal is to learn to ski,    21  , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now   22   this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
    Be someone else! Look at the situation from a    23  point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the  24   in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their    25 . The best fishermen think like fish!

    One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
    I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
    My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.
    小题1:The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.
    A．differentB．the same

    The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water. With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.
    Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys(山谷)are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
    This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉). In Texas, farmers' overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.
    Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.
    小题1:What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
    A．Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.
    B．Steps to improving water use management.
    C．Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.
    D．Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply.
    小题2:From the first two paragraphs we learn that________.
    A．much of the world's water is available for use
    B．people in high rainfall countries feel lucky
    C．the costs of water redistribution should be considered
    D．water can be easily carried through pipes across the world
    小题3:The text is mainly about________.
    A．water supply and increasing population
    B．water shortages and environmental protection
    C．water redistribution and wildlife protection
    D．water use management and agriculture

    A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
    In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
    There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world’ s wood supply.
    Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.
    小题1:Why did humans destroy rainforests in the past hundred years?
    A．They tried to get crops and paper
    B．They needed other products
    C．They wanted to raise farm animals
    D．They aimed to get three major resources.
    小题2:Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they________.
    A．reflect more heat into the atmosphere
    B．bring about high rainfall throughout the world
    C．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃
    D．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth
    小题3:What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?
    A．We will lose much more than we can gain.
    B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests.
    C．People have a strong desire for resources.
    D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the text that________.
    A．we can get enough resources without rainforests
    B．there is great medicine potential in rainforests
    C．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land
    D．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns
    小题5:What might be the best title for the text?
    A．How to Save Rainforests
    B．How to Protect Nature
    C．Rainforests and the Environment
    D．Rainforests and Medical Development

    United States and Canada are multicultural countries with many national, religious and cultural differences, where people attach great importance to individualism—the uniqueness among people. Teachers value the qualities that make each student special and different. You can see such values through their educational systems. For example, students needn’t memorize lots of information. Instead, they work independently and find answers on their own. There are discussions for children to show their own ideas and opinions.
    By contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture in most Asian societies. As a result, Asia’s educational system reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea learn to work together and help one another in assignments. And the teaching methods are often very formal and serious. In class, teachers give lectures while students listen and take notes. Discussion is replaced by reciting rules of information that have been memorized.
    These two systems both have advantages and disadvantages. One advantage in Japan is that there is much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. In addition, students study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The difficult system also prepares students for a society that place emphasis on discipline and self-control. However, while memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students admit forgetting much of the information that they have memorized after exams.
    On the other hand, the educational system in North American has an advantage that students learn to think for themselves, which prepares them for a society that values creativity. The disadvantage is that when they graduate from high school, they haven’t recited as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
    小题1:People in multicultural countries such as the US or Canada lay more stress on __________.
    A．team workB．self-controlC．disciplineD．individualism
    小题2:What is the advantage of the educational system in North America？
    A．There is not much discussion.
    B．Learning to think for themselves
    C．Learning much less math and science
    D．They haven’t memorized basic rules and facts.
    小题3:Which words is most suitable to describe the author's attitude in writing this passage?
    A．Supportive B．OppositeC．ObjectiveD．Subjective
    小题4:The main idea of this passage is___________.
    A．cultural differences in countries such as the United States or Canada
    B．comparisons of educational system between North America and Asia
    C．there are more advantages of Asian education system of than that of North American
    D．there are more disadvantages of Asian education system than that of North American

    The Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长)human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.
    For the last few years, the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the population imagination.
    While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the Untied States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer(乳腺癌)or AIDS.
    Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.
    小题1:Why did the scientists work so hard at mapping the human genome?
    A．Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.
    B．Because the human genome’s completion can help to get rid of many diseases.
    C．Because they wanted to be better known than others.
    D．Because the Human Genome Project can provided a lot of chances of work.

    An increase in students applying to study economics (经济学) at university is being attributed to （归因于）the global economic crisis (危机) awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.  
    Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.  
    Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.  
    “There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. ” He added.   
    University applications rose 70% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the pubic sector（部门）, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.  
    A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.  
    Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped (使…有能力) to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
    小题1:Professor John Beath’s lectures are            .

    小题2: Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their        .
    A．greater stabilityB．higher pay
    C．fewer applications D．better reputation
    小题3:In the opinion of most parents ,           .  
    A．economics should be the focus of school teaching
    B．more students should be admitted to universities
    C．the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened.
    D．children should solve financial problems themselves
    小题4:According to Hocking , the global economic crisis might make the youngsters_____.
    A．wiser in money management
    B．have access to better equipment
    C．confident about their future careers
    D．get jobs in Child Trust Funds
