    The law has a great many rules, showing when and how far a man is to be punished, or if he should be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so on. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.
    He begins by doing little else than reading, and after he has prepared himself by three years’ study, still, he has to, almost every day, read more about some new questions which he has to answer.
    The power to use books, then, is a special skill which a would-be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility（灵活性）to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness to find what a book contains, and something of an instinct（直觉）for where to look for what he wants.
    But although this is the power which he will first feel in need of, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise people what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble.
    小题1:The first thing a law student has to do is to _______.
    A．read booksB．hand over money
    C．practice law D．answer questions
    小题2:The major business of a lawyer is ________.
    A．to discuss the material he has read
    B．to advise people who have law problems
    C．to learn about real life
    D．to study the law
    小题3:What is the most important to a lawyer?
    A．To possess a lot of books.
    B．To have enough flexibility when collecting ideas from printed words.
    C．To be able to quickly find out what a book contains.
    D．To be able to use his book knowledge in the right way in his future business.
    小题4:According to the passage, a good lawyer should know how to ________.
    A．understand and use what he reads
    B．be effective in everything
    C．collect ideas from different sources
    D．be effective in court

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:A

    试题分析：文章主要说明了作为律师首先要多读书，然后正确理解和运用所读的书，并帮助那些有法律问题的人。
    小题1:细节题，由第一段A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.可知做为律师首要是读书。故选A。

    Your teenage daughter is supposed to be doing homework, but you catch her chatting online. She tells you that she’s talking about the math test tomorrow. Before your eyes start rolling, listen up: teens are using social networking sites for more than just gossip, according to a new study by the National School Boards Association.
    The students who took part in the online survey, aged 9 to 17, said they spent almost as much time on social networking online as they did watching television. And it is what these kids are talking about online that is causing such a cheer: education. Of the students who took part in the study 60 percent reported that some of the most popular social networking topics were college planning, learning outside of school, careers, and schoolwork. They also reported posting writing and art projects that might have nothing to do with schoolwork.
    Ann Flynn, director of education technology for the National School Boards Association, says incorporating (合并) social networking tools into educational curriculum (课程) is the way forward. Flynn says a school in Cleveland, Ohio is posting students’ book reports on a blog for students of their own ages, parents and other teachers to read and comment on. “If someone reacts other than the teacher, a child is much more likely to take an assignment seriously,” Flynn says.
    Not only students but also parents can benefit. Now parents can go online and know what the class is doing. So, next time your child says her blog is educational, get curious, sit down and check out the blog with her. You might just learn something new yourself.
    小题1:We can infer from the text that Ann Flynn       .
    A．supports students in using social networking sites
    B．used to think badly of students’ using social networking sites
    C．suggests schools set up their own social networking sites
    D．suggests teachers inspect what students do on social networking sites
    小题2:How does the school in Cleveland mentioned in the text use social net-working sites?
    A．It asks each student to keep a blog.
    B．It invites parents to comment on students’ work.
    C．It welcomes comments on students’ book reports online.
    D．It lets students keep in touch with their teachers online.
    小题3:A student will not probably take an assignment seriously if he gets comments from       .
    A．a strangerB．his teachersC．his parentsD．his classmates
    小题4:Why can parents benefit from social networking sites?
    A．Because parents can make a lot of friends online.
    B．Because parents can help their children with their schoolwork.
    C．Because parents can know their children’s learning at school.
    D．Because parents can keep up with social development.

    For nearly 100 years, the heartbroken Little Mermaid has sat on a rock looking out over Copenhagen's port but now the sculpture ,based on the famous fairytale, is heading back out to sea, set for China.
    The small bronze statue inspired by the tale of author Hans Christian Andersen and unveiled in 1913, is a major tourist attraction in Copenhagen. But her life has not always been easy. She has been beheaded twice, had her arm cut off, was blown off her rock in 2003 and was dressed in a Muslim headscarf two years ago in a protest - but she never left her native country.
    This week she was lifted from the harbor, boxed, and shipped to Shanghai where she is the star guest in the Danish Pavilion at EXPO 2010 which runs until October 31. Details over her trip were not revealed due to security issues.
    "The Little Mermaid," published in 1837, is a sad story about a mermaid who falls in love with a prince and gives up her life in the sea and her tail for legs.
    The fairytale has been adapted many times into stage shows and into a Disney movie.
    Copenhagen mayor Frank Jensen said in a statement that the loan of The Little Mermaid was part of a cultural exchange between Denmark and China. "I am convinced that she will be an excellent ambassador of Denmark, particularly since the Chinese already are very fond of Hans Christian Andersen and his fairytales," he said in a statement.
    Her departure from Copenhagen will not leave the harbor empty. Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has created a video installation(设备/装置)to be installed at her spot.
    The Little Mermaid's 165 cm (65 inches) tall sculpture, which sits on a granite block, was created in 1913 by Edvard Eriksen.
    小题1:The following statements are true EXCEPT________________.
    A．the statue of The Little Mermaid will be given to China as a gift
    B．the statue of The Little Mermaid is a major tourist attraction in Copenhagen
    C．The Little Mermaid is a famous fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen
    D．the story of The Little Mermaid was once adapted into a Disney movie
    小题2:The underlined word “departure” here means_______________.
    A．escapingB．retiringC．arrivingD．leaving
    小题3:From the passage, we can infer that ________________.
    A．Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has created another Little Mermaid instead
    B．the Danish people don’t like the statue of The Little Mermaid
    C．the statue of The Little Mermaid will return to Denmark in the future
    D．Edvard Eriksen wrote the story of the Little Mermaid

    It seems some people have something bad to say about Facebook, the social media website that now has attracted more than 300 million members. To them I have only this to say: Stop please!
    A recent article in the Wall Street Journal blamed Facebook’s ability to ruin friendships, saying that it limits communication to typing and encourages people to spend far too much time with friends they have never met.
    Having used Facebook since its first year, I find these arguments false. The simple truth is that the problems are only a symptom of Facebook abuse. Like many things, it is only as harmful to your life and relationships as you allow it to be. Consider arguments against watching too much TV and overeating.
    Try using Facebook to find friends who may have long ago changed their e-mail addresses and phone numbers, to find out what your old college friends are up to, to congratulate your friends on their latest birthdays, to share pictures and articles you find interesting, and to join in the discussion about them with your friends.
    Sure, I had days when I wasted a little more time on Facebook than I should, but I’m not going to blame Facebook for my own laziness. If Facebook wasn’t there, I would have found something else to waste time on. To my “friends”: if you don’t feel like broadcasting your life stories on your Facebook, don’t. If you tire of my personal updates, ignore them. If you don’t want to join in the popular online games, don’t. It is a fun tool at your fingers that can be used for both good and bad. If you don’t like using Facebook, don’t.
    I am now a consultant at the Department of State. I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, family, and colleagues who live and work all over the world.
    小题1:Why did the article in the Wall Street Journal blame Facebook?
    A．Because it makes people spend too much time online.
    B．Because it can make people lose their real-life friends.
    C．Because it is as harmful to people’s lives as watching TV.
    D．Because it encourages people to make friends with strangers.
    小题2:What does the author suggest using Facebook to do?
    A．To find out lost e-mail addresses and phone numbers.
    B．To arrange appointments with our old college friends.
    C．To collect interesting pictures and articles from our friends.
    D．To keep in touch with friends who we haven’t called for long.
    小题3:We can imply from the passage that by using Facebook we can ____.
    A．read other’s personal updates
    B．write our life stories online secretly
    C．decide who can read our life stories
    D．refuse to join in popular online games
    小题4:The author writes the last paragraph to ____.
    A．prove that Facebook can be well used
    B．gain support from the Department of State
    C．show that Facebook is used all around the world
    D．introduce how she uses Facebook in her work as a consultant

    The Donkey Mobile Library

    It is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside. Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children’s books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.
    Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.
    Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It’s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.
    “Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can’t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”
    Yohannes first worked in the children’s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children’s literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children’s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”
    He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.
    “What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.
    “The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly. 
    小题1:How do the children feel when they see the Donkey Mobile Library?
    A．Excited.B．Surprised.C．Interested.D．Curious
    小题2:We can conclude from the passage that      .
    A．Ethiopian children have no idea about their future
    B．Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiences
    C．most books in the Donkey Mobile Library were bought in America
    D．donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and tools
    小题3:According to the passage, the Donkey Mobile Library      .
    A．visits the countryside every day B．was created by Yohannes himself
    C．benefits Ethiopian children a lotD．was the first of its kind in the world
    小题4:Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?
    A．A book review..B．A news reportC．A historical story.D．An advertisement.

    I have been teaching in the United States for three semesters. During this time, I have been very impressed with the hardworking American students. Tuition fee (学费) in American universities are pretty expensive. Most American students receive little, if any, financial support. As a result, they have to work hard to pay for their tuition and other basic expenses. Tertiary (高等) education is a necessity in today’s workforce. Young people with higher education are rewarded with a good career and better salary. So how do American students support themselves?
    All my American students have to work to pay for their tuition. For this reason, most universities provide limited jobs for students who need economic help. They also help students search for jobs in the community. I have been touched to see some students are so worn out from their jobs that they doze in my classroom. In addition to taking part-time jobs, students are also expected to take part in various social and sporting activities and, in fact, those who do not take part in are often looked down upon by their peers.
    A number of American university students are married with families, or are single parents. These students are faced with the additional burden of raising a family. They have to spend much time, money and energy caring for their children and family. Most American university professors are strict. They test students on every unit in their course, in addition to mid-term and final exams in each semester. A lack of preparation by students may result in their failure. This means the loss of a lot of money and possibly future employment opportunities for these students. For this reason, many American students will study or stay up all night before an exam, in an effort to pass.
    In contrast, Chinese students have a much easier time, because most Chinese parents pay for their kids’ tertiary education. Moreover, Chinese students do not need to worry about raising children or maintaining a family. So, Chinese students have no reason for not studying hard and achieving good marks.
    小题1:Which of the following is not the difficulty American students have to face?
    A．They have to work hard to pay for the high tuition fee.
    B．Many American students have a burden of a family.
    C．They need a better education to get a best job.
    D．They have to pass strict tests to complete their education.
    小题2: Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
    A．American students have no time to think of physical exercise.
    B．Sporting activities are popular among American students.
    C．American students should take part in various social activities.
    D．Those who don’t participate in social and sporting activities are usually unpopular with their peers.
    小题3:Compared with American students, Chinese university students __________.
    A．have no difficulty in raising a family
    B．live an easy life in universities
    C．don’t have to take full-time jobs
    D．have more duty to make greater progress
    小题4:This passage mainly deals with __________.
    A．part-time jobs chosen by American students
    B．the high fees of American universities
    C．difficult lives American students have to face
    D．different opinions on American universities
