    BEIJING—Apple Inc. is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  network compatibility （兼容） for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion．
    According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China．The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom （Hong Kong） Ltd．
    China Unicom declined  to comment．
    Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland．Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels．
    Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale （高档的） IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront．Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China．She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2．
    Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world．The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market．
    The new stores reflect Apple’s confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers．Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost （增长） the company’s third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July．China revenue （收益） surged （激增） six-fold to about $3．8 billion during the three months ended June 25．
    “This has been a substantial （重大） opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we’re just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China．“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there．”

    "It's this time of year when the weather starts warming up and frogs start breeding - but they haven't been breeding," says John Wilkinson, research and monitoring officer at the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust (ARC).
    Amphibians (两栖动物) are just one of the groups of animals that nature observers fear may have problems reproducing this year, as groundwater levels are even lower now than in the infamously dry summer of 1976, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). According to the UK's Centre for Hydrology and Ecology the average rainfall so far this winter has been the lowest since 1972.
    "If ponds dry up totally," says Mr. Wilkinson, "you could have lots of dead tadpoles." Drier and windier conditions could also make it more difficult for juvenile amphibians to survive their journeys between wet habitats.
    But Peter Brotherton, the biodiversity manager for Natural England, says that "drought is part of nature's cycle", and, at present, a lot of animals, plants and insects are still in hibernation. This means that the population picture is unclear. "However, when we get extreme events, we get animals dying," he says. "And what is worrying is that normally at this time of year we expect soil to be near saturation（湿润）after winter."
    Charlie Kitchin, the RSPB's site manager of the Nene Washes in Cambridgeshire, says the 2,000-acre wetland and grassland area is now struggling following two winters with relatively little winter rain and no flooding. One species that could suffer, he says, is the black-tailed godwit（黑尾豫）. "There are only 50 breeding pairs in the country, and we have 40 of them, and everything is bone-dry," Mr Kitchin says.
    But one bad nesting season, he says, is "not the end of the world". "One of the features of flood plains is that they're volatile anyway," he adds. "But if they fail to breed another year, the population is likely to dip again."
    小题1:According to the passage animals may have problems reproducing this year mainly due to _____.
    A．droughtB．hibernationC．windier conditionsD．extreme events
    小题2:What really worries Peter Brotherton is that ________.
    A．drought is part of nature’s cycleB．animals are still in hibernation
    C．soil at this time is far from saturationD．the population of animals is still unclear
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true of Charlie Kitchin’s words?
    A．Drought has so far continued for two winters.
    B．Animals could survive one bad nesting season.
    C．The black-tailed godwit is in danger of extinction.
    D．40 black-tailed godwits live in the Nene Washes.
    小题4:The underlined word volatile in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________.
    A．losing waterB．undergoing changes
    C．breeding animalsD．suffering flood
    小题5:It can be learnt from the text that ______________.
    A．groundwater levels this summer are lower than those of 1976
    B．the average rainfall this year has been the lowest since 1972
    C．windier conditions could also cause some amphibians’ death
    D．flooding plays no useful role in wetlands and grasslands

    Deep in the Amazon forest, thousands of people still live in isolation from the rest of the world.
    In a recent press release, the Brazilian government confirmed the existence of another isolated tribe of about 200 people living in the Vale do Javari reservation. The 200 people living in the Vale do Javari reservation. The reservation, located near the Peruvian border, is about the size of Portugal. At least another 14 isolated tribes, with a total population of about 2000, call the area home.
    The newly observed group lives on four large straw-roofed buildings and grows corn, peanut and other crops.
    Brazil’s National Indian Foundation (BNTF) first noticed the reservation in the forest using satellite maps, but it wasn’t until April that an airplane expedition was able to confirm the tribe’s existence. “The work of finding and protecting isolated groups is part of Brazilian public policy,” said the BNIF officer for Vale do Javari, Fabricio Amorim. “To confirm something like this takes years of hard work.”
    BNIF estimates there are 68 isolated tribes living in the Amazon. The organization uses airplanes to avoid disturbing the tribes through personal contact, but that doesn’t mean others are so respectful of their right to privacy.
    Illegal fishing, woodcutting and hunting bring people into the protected area. Oil exploration on the Peruvian side of the border is another threat. All kinds of criminals also invade the lands of the local groups, said Amorim. The outsiders can damage the land and influence the cultures of indigenous(土著的)peoples. They can also bring diseases which can wipe out the whole population that still lack even basic antibiotics(抗生素).
    Brazil’s indigenous peoples won the legal right to their traditional lands in Brazil’s 1988 Constitution, which stated that all indigenous lands shall be divided and turned over to tribes within five years. Indigenous groups now control 11 percent of Brazil’s territory, including 22 percent of the Amazon.
    Allowing indigenous groups the right homelands is not just a matter of human rights. The rest of the world can benefit from their knowledge. Mark Plotkin has spent years living with the people of the Amazon and learning from their traditional healers. In his lecture, he pointed out that many useful materials and knowledge, including numerous drugs, can be gained from listening to the indigenous groups of the Amazon. Besides this, they are also more effective at protecting the land, and less expensive, than hired rangers(护林人).
    小题1:The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means “a state of            ”.
    A．separationB．interaction
    C．satisfactionD．excitement
    小题2:From the passage we can learn that the tribes in the Amazon forest             .
    A．only live on a reservation designated for them
    B．prefer straw-roofed buildings to wooden ones
    C．keep contact with the outside world through airplanes
    D．have the legal right to the land they live on
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Amorim?
    A．Privacy violation is common among the Amazon tribes.
    B．The laws dividing the lands of the tribes are far from enough.
    C．Modern civilization endangers the tribes and their cultures.
    D．It is hard to make public policy to protect primitive tribes.
    小题4:The last paragraph is mainly about              .
    A．the lost human rights of the indigenous peoples
    B．the benefits of protecting the primitive tribes
    C．the value of traditional healing
    D．the indigenous peoples as guardians of the Amazon forest

    Angry survivors demanded answers on Sunday after a terrible stampede（踩踏）at “Love Parade 2010”, a music festival in Germany, killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.
    The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday’s tragedy in the western city of Duisburg. “This was a very sad day,” Merkel said. “We must do everything we can to ensure that something like this never happens again.”
    Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel, the only entrance to the Love Parade festival, from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded. The panic began as festival-goers began to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other. The dead included eight foreigners, from Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Bosnia and Spain. More than 340 people were injured.
    After the panic, a lot of emergency vehicles, including helicopters, could be seen parked on the highway leading to helicopters, could be seen parked on the highway leading to the festival site, carrying away the injured people. The festival itself, however, went on. Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.
    “The event was a real mess,” Patrick Guenter, a 22-year-old baker, said.  “Although the festival was full, they kept letting people in.” he added. “It seems the organizers didn’t plan the route. The road was very narrow, and no one knew what was going on.” Said Taggart Bowen-Gaddy,20,an American from Philadelphia.
    Officials said 4,000 police officers and 1,000 security guards provided security for the event, which attracted up to 1.4 million people. The authorities had only given organizers permission for 250,000 people to attend.
    “I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade. The city is too small and narrow for such events. It is a pity that…” German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the Bild.
    The chief organizer, Rainer Schaller, said the popular event would never be held again, “out of respect for the victims and their families”.
    First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall, the Love Parade is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe. It left Berlin from 2007 onwards after disagreements with the city authorities over security and has been held in several other German cities in recent years.
    小题1:How did the German Chancellor Angela Merkel feel about the tragedy?
    A．Very disappointed.B．Angry and surprised.
    C．Very puzzled.D．Touched.
    小题2:According to Patrick Gunter and Taggart Bowen-Gaddy, ________.
    A．the event was well-organized
    B．the performance was wonderful
    C．Duisburg was suitable for the Love Parade
    D．the organization was very bad
    小题3:We can infer that __________.
    A．Rainer Wendt’s warning went unnoticed
    B．Rainer Wendt was a chief organizer of Love Parade 2010
    C．Rainer Wendt is a music lover
    D．Duisburg is a famous holiday destination
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that ________.
    A．the Love Parade has been canceled forever
    B．the Love Parade is a very popular sport event
    C．the festival was ended shortly after the panic
    D．the Love Parade has a history of over 30 years

    We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
    His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
    Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.
    According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.
    We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
    So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
    This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.
    小题1:How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?
    A．By studying Western medicine.
    B．By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
    C．By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.
    D．By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.
    小题2:What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?
    A．Medical treatment.B．People’s good kidney.
    C．Level of people’s activity.D．Positive life attitude.
    小题3:The reason why people become old is that _________.
    A．their bodies produce T-cells
    B．their bodies are unable to fight diseases
    C．they have reduced strength, loss of hair
    D．they become weaker and weaker
    小题4:We can probably learn from the passage that _________.
    A．producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young
    B．the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health
    C．people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body
    D．it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is

    United States President George W. Bush is expected to issue a directive in the next few weeks. It will give the US Air Force a green light for the development of space weapons, US media reported last week.
    This would potentially start a new global arms race, some experts have warned.
    To keep that from happening, last Wednesday the White House explained that it was not considering putting weapons in space. It said it was making a shift in US space policy to allow for protection of satellites.
    But some defense analysts and arms control advocates argue that the policy will pave the way for the US to put both defensive and offensive  weapons in space.
    “No one should be fooled,” said Theresa Hitchens, an American weapons expert.
    The US is now restricted by a 1996 directive  signed by President Bill Clinton. Plans for space weapons were vetoed by the Clinton cabinet. The directive emphasized the peaceful use of space , in agreement with almost unanimous global opinion.
    The US military has placed importance on space and has sent up numberous satellites for troop communications and to provide intelligence and data to guide bombs to their targets.
    The US Air Force wants to develop space- based weapons that could strike targets anywhere in the world within 90 minutes of receiving the order to open fire.
    These new weapons under development cover a wide range. They include hunter- killer satellites and orbiting weapons. And they use lasers, radio waves, or even dense metal tubes, known as “ Rods from God”, dropped from space to do the damage.
    There are many barriers to the setting up of this kind of program, experts say.
    First is the coast. It is estimated that the budget may be US $220 billion to US $ 1 trillion .
    The technical difficulties of developing reliable space weapons are also a problem.
    And, the program will draw strong criticism from around the world. Experts worry about starting a space arms race.
    小题1:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
    A．US Military Plans
    B．The Global Arms Race
    C．A Comparison between Two Presidents
    D．President George W. Bush and the World Peace
    小题2:According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?
    A．President George W. Bush supports space weapon development.
    B．The space weapon program will threaten world peace
    C．Clinton government was poorer than Bush government.
    D．The US space weapon project is very expensive.
    小题3:After reading this passage, it can be inferred that “___________ “.
    A．George W. Bush’s directive to be issued will be against global opinions
    B．The White House is right in explaining that US new space policy aims to protect satellites
    C．US government has little difficulty in developing new space weapons
    D．President George W. Bush and Bill Clinton share a lot in common
    小题4:The author’s attitude towards the coming space weapon development is _______.
    A．optimisticB．criticalC．excitedD．indifferent

    BEIJING—Seven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that they would begin using the same independent exam —besides the national one —to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in 2011.
    The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University, Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.
    Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent exam, according to the joint announcement.
    “This will help lighten tile students’ load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities,”said the announcement.
    Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities.
    China’ s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.
    In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.
    Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their own exams.
    Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students’ talents lie.
    Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams as they often apply for a number of universities.
    To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010—2020) released in July this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.
    小题1: If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.
    A．only pass the interview.
    B．only take the national exam.
    C．only take the independent exam.
    D．either take the national exam or the take the independent exam.
    小题2: What’s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?
    A．It can reduce students’load to take several exams.
    B．The universities will have the same standard to test students.
    C．There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.
    D．It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.
    小题3: If students pass the independent exam,they will ______.
    A．take the national exam.
    B．have one or more interview chances.
    C．be admitted to one of the universities.
    D．he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.
    小题4:What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?
    A．Students needn’t take the national exam.
    B．Students’education cost can be lowered.
    C．Students abilities and talents can be better found.
    D．It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.
