    Three more cattle farms in Andong，North Gyeongsang Province，were found to have been infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease，Nov．2 2010，Thursday．People fear that livestock farms in other parts of the country could be hit by the virus soon．
    On Monday，the disease was first detected on two pig farms in Andong，about half a year after the last disease broke out in Korea．A cattle farm in the area also fell victim to the animal disease the following day．
    The Ministry for Food，Agriculture，Forestry and Fisheries made sure that three more cases of foot-and-mouth disease appeared on Thursday and decided to kill all the animals at the farms and others at nearby places to stop the spread of the virus to other regions．Over 800 cows and pigs within a 500 meter range of the infected farms were killed and buried underground．
    “Three suspected cases were reported Wednesday，near the pig farms where the first outbreak was reported．The laboratory tests today showed that all three cattle farms were infected with the disease,” a ministry official said．Two newly infected cattle farms were less than 4 kilometers away from the two pig farms，while the third one was only 2．5 kilometers away．
    The ministry also said another cattle farm in Andong reported suspected cases of foot-and-mouth disease on its livestock Thursday，indicating the disease will likely continue to spread across the city and possibly beyond．
    The government has culled more than 33,000 animals near the affected farms Monday alone under its disease prevention program．Additionally，all 84 livestock markets across the nation were closed Wednesday for a period to prevent spread of the disease．
    No suspected cases have been reported outside of Andong，but the government Thursday decided to destroy an additional 22,000 pigs at two farms in Boryeong，South Chungcheong Province．

    这是一篇新闻报道，报到了在韩国庆北省安东地区发生口蹄疫之后，当地政府紧急采取防疫措施，宰杀和掩埋了3．3万头牲畜。
    小题1:细节推断题。根据文中第2段的about half a year after the last disease broke out in Korea可知上一次口蹄疫的发现到这一次口蹄疫发生大约半年的时间，再根据…infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease on Thursday, Nov．2, 2010，由此推断上一次发病时间在2010 年6月。
    小题2:细节判断题。文章在第3、6段中提到了政府要求不仅杀掉已经发现口蹄疫养殖场的牲畜，而且周围的一定距离之内的牲畜也要全部杀掉，因此选择A。
    小题3:词义猜测题。根据句子的后半句，可知33,000头牲畜生活在感染口蹄疫的农场附近，这些农场位于口蹄疫的预防区之内，由此可以推断政府部门决定杀死这些动物。
    小题4:细节理解题。根据这一段话可知，在安东以外并没有发现口蹄疫，但是政府决定杀掉位于Boryeong两个农场的22,000头猪，由此可知答案C正确。
    小题5:推理判断题。依据文章，不难判断出这是一篇新闻报道，所以B项正确。

    Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?
    Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analysed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.
    Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides（杀虫剂）. On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.
    At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.
    As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.
    小题1:The author develops the second paragraph mainly      .
    A．by classificationB．by comparison
    C．by exampleD．by process
    小题2:What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean?
    A．Control.B．EvaluateC．Obtain.D．Increase.
    小题3:GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________.
    A．practicing “green” farming
    B．use of less chemicals
    C．fair distribution of their crops
    D．using more crops for fuel
    小题4:Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?
    A．OptimisticB．DefensiveC．DisapprovingD．Casual

    In 1901，H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
    H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
    Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Channel”，a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.
    But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome would cover the whole city.
    Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells “moon people” would agree. Would you?
    小题1:The explorers in H.G. Well’s story were surprised to find that the “moon people”      .
    A．knew so much about the earth
    B．understood their language
    C．lived in so many underground cities
    D．were ahead of them in space technology
    小题2:What sorts of underground system are already here with us?
    A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations
    B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas
    C．Gardens, car parks, power stations
    D．Tunnels, gardens, offices
    小题3:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．Alice Cities—cities of the future
    B．Space travel with H.G. Wells
    C．Enjoy living underground
    D．Building down, not up

    Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices. The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.
    Allan Friedman, the research director, says, “All wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks. This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it. Law enforcement(执法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.
    Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices. They said Apple’s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information. The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上传) to any computer that the device is connected to. The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer.
    Allan Friedman says, “This raises additional concerns. There’s the idea that because it’s on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications(恶意程序) that I pay for or that I’m tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it.”
    Apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iPhone”. It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell phone towers near the user’s location. This information is meant to help the iPhone quickly find its location when needed.
    Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google. The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. Allan Friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws. He says, “There aren’t strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. And perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?”
    小题1:Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?
    A．Because the systems can store users’ information
    B．Because many users have suffered loss after using them.
    C．Because it is thought to threaten users’ privacy.
    D．Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.
    小题2:Allan Friedman believes that ________.
    A．wireless companies focus on personal privacy.
    B．people are forbidden to get access to private data at will
    C．phone companies may sell private information secretly
    D．customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking
    小题3:What do we know from Paragraph 3?
    A．Location tracking information is stored online.
    B．Apple’s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.
    C．Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone.
    D．Apple’s newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users.
    小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Apple denies that it tracks the location of users.
    B．The researchers may misunderstand the Apple’s systems.
    C．The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.
    D．The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user’s information.

    Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday, this still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.
    小题1:What is the author’s attitude toward dreaming?
    A．He thinks it puzzling

    A．interestingB．unbelievable

    B．Because most people are not interested in talking about their dreams
    C．Because most people have had dreams most of the time

    Slow parenting means parenting children in the contact of nature without any interference (干预) of materialistic influence. We can also term it as “self-raising”. In slow parenting children are allowed to do what they think proper and parents just keep a watch over the child. Curiosity of the child leads to exploring and discovering things. Parents provide little help only when it’s too necessary, otherwise keep themselves away from the child and just have a look on him/her: This brings about a feeling of self-dependency and they are encouraged to solve their problems.
    This is a natural way of learning. When a child is left to learn in a natural environment, the child’s natural development takes place. Influence of any materialistic way doesn’t let the mind develop naturally. Watching TV, playing video games or joining classes of dance, swimming or any other sports will not let the mind develop naturally.
    Here creativity of their mind is developed. They explore ideas. The logic behind this is that the kids of animals learn by nature, so can our kids. So let our children play in the garden, to watch flowers, plants, birds, butterflies and other gifts of nature. In the classes of dance, swimming etc. their creativity is influenced and their natural creativity is suppressed (压制). In these classes they are overburdened and can’t train their creativity. So let them play in the open air or garden without any burden instead of joining classes.
    Generally parents give toys to their children and explain how to operate them. But those parents who believe in slow parenting give toys and observe how the children are managing them. Their skill to learn and understand comes out. Maybe the process is slow, but it will be their exploration, which will make them self-dependent, and self-capable to learn.
    小题1:In slow parenting, parents ______.
    A．set limits to what their children do
    B．keep a close watch over their children
    C．give the whole directions to what their children do
    D．give their children freedom to do what they think proper
    小题2: What is the main advantage of slow parenting according to the passage?
    A．Arousing children’s curiosity.
    B．Helping children to be independent.
    C．Making children interested in exploring nature.
    D．Keeping children away from materialistic influence.
    小题3:We can infer from the third paragraph that______.
    A．children should join some classes
    B．slow parenting should be done in a logical way
    C．exploring nature is a good way of slow parenting
    D．children can’t learn by nature like the kids of animals
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Slow parenting and its advantages. B．Different parenting styles.
    C．The requirements of slow parenting. D．The author’s opinion on slow parenting.

    According to the dictionary definition of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
    We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
    A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
    A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
    These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
    小题1:“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
    A．a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
    B．a new thing is only a tale
    C．we can seldom create new things
    D．we can hardly see really new things in the world
    小题2:What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
    A．It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
    B．To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
    C．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
    D．One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
    小题3:The best title for this passage is__________.
    A．How to Develop One’s CreativityB．What Is Creativity
    C．The Importance of CreativityD．Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

    Many English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have. A US accent, perhaps modeled on the way a Hollywood star speaks? Or maybe you want to imitate（模仿） the British accent of a BBC news reader?
    Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Let’s listen to what they have to say.
    Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UK
    A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl- next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle that is really sassy(时髦). A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang（鼻音） had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.
    To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people.
    Jennifer Sun, 16, from New Jersey, US
    From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.
    Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.
    The English accent seems almost like art.
    小题1:In Stephen Yang’s opinion, accents just show__________.
    A．the beauty of the languageB．how the language is spoken
    C．the cultural differences of the speakers D．the fashion of the day
    小题2:The underlined word “cute “probably means__________.
    A．strangeB．excitingC．attractiveD．fashionable
    小题3:Many American girls watch Harry Porter again and again in order to __________.
    A．learn the acting skills of the these stars
    B．learn the magic performed by Harry Potter
    C．imitate the actors’ accents
    D．know more about British English
    小题4:What is probably the best title for this passage?
    A．British English and American English
    B．British Accent or American Accent
    C．American English Accent is Most Accepted
    D．The difference between British Accent and American Accent.
