    OSLO — Excited with pride, Norwegians sang in the streets of Oslo on Sunday, celebrating Norway’s National Day and the country’s Eurovision Song Contest victory.
    Hundreds of Norwegians sang along to Alexander Rybak’s winning song Fairytale as they walked in the country’s traditional National Day parade (游行) celebrating the Norwegian constitution.
    Alexander Rybak — called “Alexander the Great” by the Norwegian media — won a great victory in the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) by gaining the most votes in its 53-year history in Moscow on Saturday.
    Alexander has played violin and piano since he was five years old, and he also composes his own music and sings. In 2006 he won the Norwegian talent show Kjempesjansen with his own song Foolin. Alexander has performed with one of the world’s most celebrated violinists, Pinchas Zukerman, won the Anders Jahres Culture Price and has been the concertmaster for Norway’s largest symphony orchestra (交响乐队) for youths, Ung Symfoni.
    Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said there was clearly something special about the 23-year-old and his folk music. “This is a phenomenal performance by a young and talented musician,” Stoltenberg said in a statement.
    Rybak is expected to draw a large crowd of fans to Oslo’s Gardermoen airport when he arrives next Sunday, after having invited all his countrymen from the stage in Moscow.
    With Rybak’s win, Norway will host next year’s Eurovision finals, a show that reaches a television audience of over 100 million people. Norway’s Minister of Culture, Trond Giske, promised that Norway would put on a splendid show next year but without spending as much as Moscow, which spent 24 million euros this year. “I don’t think that is necessary,” he told national broadcaster NRK.
    The win was Norway’s third. The Nordic country also won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1985 and 1995.

    There was simply too much news and too much information freely available on the net．But was it accurate? Whose opinion should we trust? A survey found that 60% of UK adults think it is worth paying for a "good newspaper", and most of those said they believed more of what they read in the paid-for newspapers．
    Here was something newspapers understood—here was what they could offer: news plus comment and opinion．
    And the Internet now offered opportunities．A newspaper was just that: news printed on paper．But the Internet now offered newspapers different places to print, and in different media．

    A new report says sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected. American scientists say the ice is melting even faster than computer programs had estimated.
    Scientists know that climate change has a major effect on the Arctic Ocean partly because sea ice is disappearing. They also know that areas of open seawater are expanding. Such areas are known to take in sunlight and increase temperatures. Scientists say this has helped to cause the loss of the Arctic’s ice cover.
    For the study, the American scientists compared eighteen computer programs with observations made by satellites and other instruments. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change used the computer programs to prepare its 2007 estimates of climate change.
    The computer programs gave estimates of the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean in the month of September. September is when the Arctic has the least ice, after the warm, summer months. The computer estimates suggested an ice loss of two and a half percent for every ten-year period between 1953 and 2006.  
    Newer studies of the Arctic have used information gathered by aircraft, satellites and ships. This information showed a loss of September ice cover of almost eight percent for every ten-year period between 1953 and last year. This means the ice is disappearing about thirty years faster than the computer programs estimated.
    The scientists say the programs might not have recognized the full effect of increased carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth’s atmosphere. They say their study suggests the gases may have more of an effect than had been thought.
    小题1:It is reported that sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected mainly because _________.
    A．climate changeB．sea ice’s disappearance
    C．seawater’s expansionD．the loss of the Arctic’s ice cover
    小题2: How did the scientists draw the conclusion that sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected?
    A．The scientists have been observing the Arctic Ocean for many years.
    B．The scientists have compared the computer programs with observation made by satellites and other instruments.
    C．The scientists have figured out many numbers with the help of computer.
    D．The scientists have found that the seawater take in sunlight and increase temperatures.
    小题3:If the ice melts at the present speed, by the end of this century the ice loss in the Arctic Ocean will be _________ according to newer studies.
    A．22.5%B．35%C．72%D．100%
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The figures of the computer estimates are wrong.
    B．Scientists study climate change through studying sea level.
    C．Newer studies show gases may have more effect on sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.
    D．The ice is melting even faster than satellites have estimated.
    小题5:This report mainly warns human to _________.
    A．prevent the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean from melting any more
    B．pay more attention to the loss of the Arctic’s ice cover
    C．take necessary steps to protect the environment of our earth
    D．stop summer sea ice in the Arctic from disappearing so fast

    SHANGHAI-Famed Chinese scientist Qian Weichang died here on Friday morning, saddening millions of his countrymen.
    He was 98.
    Qian, a pioneer in mechanics and applied mathematics in modern China, was one of the three famous "Qians" in China's science and technology field. He was well known alongside Qian Xuesen, the father of China's space program, and Qian Sanqiang, a nuclear physicist who oversaw the development of China's nuclear program.
    Wu Shuqing, former president of Peking University, said Qian was an internationally well-known scholar whose modesty and conduct has set a good example for following generations.
    After learning about Qian's death, millions of Chinese people offered their condolences (吊唁) online.
    Many students from Shanghai University, where Qian was a former president, burst into tears after hearing the news, saying it was a great loss to the university and to China.

    INDLANAPOLIS—Doctors and health advocates （提倡者）have warned for years that American children are getting fatter. Now even some kids’ teddy bears are packing on the pounds.
    But these heavy toys aim to combat（对抗）obesity, not add to it.
    Researchers at Indiana State University in Terre Haute tried a small experiment to test the effects of having kids play with heavier toys. They found that 10 children aged 6 to 8 burned more calories and had higher heart and breathing rate when they moved 3-pound toy blocks instead of unweighted blocks.
    So could adding a small weight to stuffed animals and other toys help kids get fit?
    “This is not going to solve the obesity problem,” said John Ozmun, a professor who did the study with graduate student Lee Robbins. “But it has been possible to make a positive contribution.”
    Some experts cautioned that children could hurt themselves by trying to lift too much too soon and said more activity is preferable to heavier toys. But all agreed that childhood obesity is a big problem.
    Obesity rate has become three times over the past 40 years for children and adolescents, raising the risk of diabetes（糖尿病）and other health problems. Federal health officials say more than a third of American children are overweight, and about 17 percent are considered obese（肥胖的）.
    “Squeezing activity into daily routines can be a good way for children to get more exercise and shed unhealthy pounds,” said Aicia Moag-Stahlberg, who heads Action for Healthy Kids.
    “By adding weights, you’re adding some intensity to the action,” she said.
    Kara Tucker, youth development coordinator for the National institute for Fitness and Sport in Indianapolis, said active playing helps youngsters work out without realising it.
    “Giant soccer is one of my favorites,” Tucker said. “If we told the kids, ‘Hey, you’re going to run up and down the court 20 times,’ they would completely be uninterested. Yet when we put a big soccer ball out there, they will just run forever. They’re having a great time.”
    56．What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A．American children are getting fatter.
    B．New toys are needed for overweight children.
    C．Heavier toys help children to combat the obesity problem.
    D．Doubts about heavier toys for obese children.
    57．What does John Ozmun think of the measure of using heavier toys?
    A．It can solve the obesity problem.
    B．It is of little use to the obesity problem.
    C．It may be of some help to the obesity problem
    D．It may hurt children.
    58．Some experts think it would be better for obese kids to    .
    A．play with light toys
    B．play with less heavy toys
    C．be on diet
    D．have more activity
    59．Which of the following is true about obese children in the US?
    A．Obesity rate has risen by 30% over the past 40 years.
    B．There are now three times as many obese children as 40 years ago.
    C．One are fewer overweight children than obese children.
    D．There are fewer overweight children than obese children.
    60．What Tucker said in the last paragraph suggests that       .
    A．he himself likes playing giant soccer balls best
    B．he prefers kids to have active playing
    C．kids have no interest in running
    D．an activity will not work if kids know the purpose of it

    A
    BEUING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
    While China may be the world’s biggest toy maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough toys of high quality. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
    A US company, Baby Care, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
    Baby Care works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals.  People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child-care books.
    "We want to build a seven year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, Baby Care’s president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." Baby Care works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by Baby Care advise parents and explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.
    Baby Care opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
    It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
    小题1:What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
    A．Educational toys and foreign toy markets.
    B．Problems with China’s toy market and education.
    C．Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.
    D．Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China.
    小题2: Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?
    A．Club members buy Baby Care products for free child care advice.
    B．Doctors in Beijing help in making Baby Care products.
    C．Parents are encouraged to pay $ 18 for club activities.
    D．Baby Care trains Chinese doctors at no extra cost.
    小题3: Baby Care is developing its business in China by ___________.
    A．opening stores in Beijing hospitals
    B．offering 18 month courses on child care
    C．setting up children’s education centers
    D．forming close relationships with parents
    小题4:Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?

    Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l,200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.
    Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．
    The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．
    “Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out, it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”
    "This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,” said another officer．
    The three ships--the MV Prantalay 11，12，and l 4—had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors．
    Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.
    小题1:The pirate attack reported in the text happened           ．
    A．far out in the Indian Ocean
    B．in the normal patrol area
    C．near the Somali, coast
    D．in the south of Africa
    小题2:According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?
    A．More goods on board are lost.
    B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.
    C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.
    D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.
    小题3:Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text?
    A．The patrols are of little effect.
    B．The patrols are more difficult.
    C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.
    D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.
    小题4:How many sailors were held by the pirates before the time of the report?
    A．228.B．77.C．383.D．305.
