A few years ago, Justin uploaded(上传) videos of himself on YouTube, showing covers of his favorite songs at home.

An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving. In the United States, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older, while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body. A “positive” test result, a result over the legal limit, allows the police to arrest the driver. However, many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “non-alcoholic” energy drink. Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT? Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.
First, the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured. All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%. In nine of the 27 drinks, the alcohol level was at least 0.096%.The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be discovered by an ABT. They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.
For 11 of the 27energy drinks, the ABT did find the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken. However, alcohol could not be discovered for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed. This shows that when the test is taken plays an important role in the test result. The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks, the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.
小题1:What is the legal alcohol level for a 20-year-old driver in the US?
A.0.000%.B.0.005%.C.0.080%.D.0.096%.
小题2:What is the purpose of the Missouri experiment?
A.To warn people of the dangers of drinking energy drinks.
B.To introduce a new method of calculating blood alcohol levels.
C.To discover the relation between energy drinks and ABT test results.
D.To change the current legal alcohol limit for drivers in the United States.
小题3:The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 refers to_____.
A.the things that are being discussed
B.areas of knowledge studied in school
C.the person in an experiment
D.the people who belong to a country
小题4:Which of the following affects the ABT test result most for energy drink consumers?

Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost them a penny.
Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity — 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible.
Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”
Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.
Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.
小题1:According to the passage, “wugging” is actually _______.
A.a student movement B.a charity-related action
C.a school organization D.a website
小题2:In the case of charity, everyclick.com _______.
A.frees students of the financial worries
B.receives much money from students
C.offers valuable information to students
D.praises students for their money-raising
小题3:What does Beth Truman think of the “wugging” movement?
A.It makes Everyclick.com popular in the UK.
B.It becomes easy to do charity because of it.
C.It results in students’ more social awareness.
D.It helps students to save money.
小题4:From the passage, we can conclude that _______.
A.most full time students do charity on the Internet every day
B.Everyclick.com helps students pay for the college education
C.“wugging” is a win-win idea for both students and charities
D.Everyclick.com is the most successful search engine in the UK

LONDON --- A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的) bomb detectors(探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his detectors - which were based on a kind of golf ball finder - to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
"Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people," Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. "you have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt."
The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they "lacked any grounding in science" and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
"I never had any bad results from customers," he said.
小题1:Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A.He sold bombs.B.He caused death of people.
C.He made detectors.D.He cheated in business
小题2:According to the judge, what McCormick had done _______.
A.increased the cost of safeguarding
B.lowered people's guard against danger
C.changed people's idea of social security
D.caused innocent people to commit crimes
小题3:Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A.They have not been sold to Africa.
B.They have caused many serious problems.
C.They can find dangerous objects in water.
D.They don't function on the basis of science.
小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _______.
A.sold the equipment at a low price
B.was well-known in most countries
C.did not think he had committed the crime
D.had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text

A new study gives us the warning that about thirty percent of the world's people may not have enough water by the year 2025.
A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three-thousand-million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.
Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.
The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.
The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.
The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.
小题1:__________ are expected to have severe water problems by the year 2025
A.No countriesB.18 countriesC.46 countriesD.28 countries
小题2:All the following are true except____________.
A.Lack of water may cause conflict between countries

A.There is connection between providing clean water and slowing population growth
B.Lack of water may also result from international conflict
C.The ability of developing has nothing to do with lack of water.
D.It is not known whether diseases have something to do with lack of water
小题4:What is the solution to the water problem for a long time?
