    This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
    Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
    Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
    Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
    “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
    At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
    小题1:This year ________teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
    A．twenty-three hundred
    B．thirteen hundred
    C．over three thousand
    D．less than two thousand
    小题2:The whole exchange programme is mainly to__________.
    A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America
    B．send students in America to travel in Germany
    C．let students learn something about other countries
    D．have teenagers learn new languages
    小题3:Fred and Mike agree that__________.
    A．America food tasted better than German food
    B．German schools were harder than American schools
    C．Americans and Germans were both friendly
    D．There were more cars on the streets in America
    小题4:What is particular in American schools is that________.
    A．there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
    B．there are a lot of after-school activities
    C．students usually take fourteen subjects in all
    D．students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

    President Barack Obama set out his plans for the nation on January 27. At the top of his to-do list: his jobs for Americans, health care and education.
    “Although we have our difficulties, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not stop,” President Barack Obama told American in his State of the Union speech on January 27. Guests and government officials filled the hall of the House of Representatives (众议院).
    Obama looked back on his first year in office and explained his plan for the future. He dealt with important matters, including health care, the nation’ s high unemployment, national security (安全) and education. Many times during the 70-minute speech, people in the hall clapped (拍手) their hands happily.
    The U.S. law system requires the President to report regularly to government officials. Presidents see the speech as an opportunity to set their goals and encourage the nation.
    The President devoted much of his speech to the plight of unemployed (失业的) Americans. “Jobs must be our Number 1 focus (焦点) in 2010,” he said. “People are out of work. They are hurting.” Obama also stressed the value of education. “The best way for people to lead a better life is a first-class education.” he told the nation.
    Following the President’s speech, the other party always gets the chance to speak. Bob McDonnell, the new governor of Virginia, spoke for Republicans (共和党人). He agreed with many of Obama’s goals, but pointed out policy difference. He tried to persuade both parties to work together. The President had made the same point earlier in the evening. He promised to hold monthly meetings with members of both parties. “Let’s show the American people,” he said, “that we can do it together.”
    小题1:It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that Obama’s speech on January 27 __________.
    was made to explain his plan for the future
    was welcomed by the government officials present
    was given to ask for foreign help
    was actually boring
    小题2:The underlined word “plight” in para. 5 probably means __________.
    A．educationB．safety
    C．goalD．sadness
    小题3:Which of the following things does Obama consider the most important in 2010?
    A．Health care.B．Jobs.
    C．Education.D．National security.
    小题4:We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.
    Republicans don’ t agree with Obama’ s goals
    Obama will try to cooperate with the other party
    Bob McDonnell was not clear about the two parties’ policy differences
    Republicans thought it difficult for the two parties to work together

    NEW YORK—Microsoft on Monday made another effort to challenge Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android in the exploding smartphone market—launching a wireless operating system，Windows Phone 7.
    Consumers will consider it“always delightful and thoroughly mine，”Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at a launch event. Ballmer said last year that Microsoft had“screwed up”with its Windows Mobile operating system.For example，it failed to keep up with touch-screen innovations that make iPhones and Android phones easy to use.
    Microsoft fell from third to fourth place in market share this year，behind BlackBerry，iPhone and Android. Only 10.8% of smartphone owners used Microsoft’s system in August，down from 18% last December.
    But Windows Phone 7 is“a total departure from anything they’ve done”.Microsoft says it sought to simplify common activities. For example，you can instantly take a picture with a phone’s camera by pushing a button on the device. You don’t have to first awaken it from its sleep mode and launch the camera application. You also can program the phones to automatically upload photos to Facebook or other social network sites in a couple of seconds. Users can easily work with Microsoft Office contact and calendar information as well as documents created in Microsoft’s Word，Excel and PowerPoint.
    The phones will not show videos built on Adobe’s Flash platform，widely used by services including YouTube and Hulu.
    AT&T will offer the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone，the Samsung Focus，on Nov.8.Soon after，it will have the LG Quantum and HTC Surround. Each will cost S|  199.99 with a two-year service contract. T-Mobile will have two Windows Phone 7 models out for the holiday shopping season：the HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro. It did not say how much they’ll cost.
    小题1:What is the main idea of paragraph 4？
    A．Why Microsoft fell behind others.
    B．How to use Windows Phone7.
    C．Advantages of Windows phone7.
    D．Speed of Windows phone7.
    小题2:What does the underlined phrase“screwed up”in the 2nd paragraph probably mean？
    A．To make a bad mistake.B．To make big progress.
    C．To achieve main goals.D．To keep up with others.
    小题3:Which of the following phones will NOT use Windows Phone 7 operating system？
    A．Quantum.B．Surround.C．Android.D．Focus.
    小题4:Why did Microsoft see a drop in market share last year？
    A．Because its operating system didn’t catch up with changes.
    B．Because its phones can’t show videos from YouTube.
    C．Because it was inconvenient to take photos using its phones.
    D．Because its system was based only on Microsoft soft wares.
    小题5:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？
    A．Smartphone Market Welcomes New Giant
    B．Microsoft to Fight Back on Smartphone
    C．Mobile Phones Getting Smarter and Easier

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A line of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes marched across the South on Friday, peeling away roofs, overturning cars and killing at least 11 people in Tennessee, officials said.
    It was the second wave of violent weather to hit the state in less than a week. Last weekend, tornadoes killed 24 people in the western part of the state and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and buildings.
    The storms crossed an area from northern Mississippi to northern Virginia as they moved to the northeast late Friday after developing from a low-pressure system in the central Plains.
    The Nashville suburbs were the hardest hit, with at least eight deaths happening northeast of the city. Three more people were killed in a rural area about 65 miles southeast of Nashville.
    Tornadoes were also reported in some other places. The storms pulled up trees, knocked down power lines and damaged buildings. What’s worse, phone lines and most businesses were out of service. Hospitals admitted at least 60 people with storm-related injuries and transferred at least nine badly injured patients to Nashville hospitals.
    In southern Indiana, the storms damaged some areas with golf ball-sized hail. High winds blew the roof off a country club and overthrew a semitrailer（拖车）. As the storms moved farther east, parts of West Virginia were lashed with heavy rain and winds, great damages caused.
    The number of tornadoes in the US has jumped through the first part of 2006 compared with the past few years. Through the end of March, an estimated 286 tornadoes had hit the US, compared with an average of 70 for the same three-month period in each of the past three years.
