Some young engineers from the United States have brought the Internet to several areas of rural Kenya. Their idea was to connect the communities to the Web by satellite. But there was a problem. The areas were
not even connected to Kenya's electric power supply. The answer: solar panels. Energy from the sun powers the satellite dishes and computers that link the areas with the world outside.
Kelly Moran, Joan Ervin and Tricia Donajkowski spent 10 days in Kenya in
November. The women recently earned master's degrees in space systems
engineering from the University of Michigan.
Another engineer, Drew Heckathorn, did not go to Africa but worked on parts
of the project.
Kelly Moran says there was excitement when the team would arrive to
connect communities to the Internet. People would sometimes run alongside the
car carrying the engineers to welcome them. And local residents would
offer to help the team build the Internet stations.
People now have access to educational, medical and all kinds of other information. Farmers, for example, can easily find weather, crop and price information online.
The project began back at the college of engineering in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2007. That was when 25 students in a class taught by Thomas Zurbuchen first talked about the idea.
The goal was to test whether Internet stations could be set up, how much they would cost, and how long they could operate. But the engineers also had to consider other things -- like social needs. Students from the public health and business schools offered advice.
The young engineers also had to design the equipment to survive the heat in Africa. Professor Zurbuchen praises his former students for "making something work in a different climate far away from home."
Google paid for the final design of the equipment. The company is also supporting the costs of the satellite bandwidth needed for the connections. Google has invested in a new company that wants to put up a system of satellites over Africa. The availability of more satellites would reduce the costs.
Just 5 percent of Africans have Internet connections. The International Telecommunication Union says 1/3
of Kenyans have mobile phones. But mobile phones may or may not work well with the Internet.
24.What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A.The Internet stations to be set up in some areas of rural Kenya.
B.Engineers from America to help the communities in Kenya.
C.Solar energy has been used to operate the Internet.
25.Why did Google give the project financial support?
A.It intends to help to rid Kenya ’s residents of poverty.
B.The project is one of its investments in Africa.
C.The use of satellites would benefit a lot its business in Kenya.
D.It wants to test whether its equipment is the best in the world.
26.The underlined part in the ninth paragraph suggests that ____________.
A.it is difficult for Kelly and her partners to build the Internet stations in Kenya
B.the climate in Kenya is so bad that Kelly and her partners will have difficulty in building the Internet stations
C.what Kelly and her partners will do will make a difference to the residents in Kenya
D.to help Kenya build the Internet stations, Kelly and her partners have to leave their homes
27.From the passage we can learn that ____________.
A.the idea of building the Internet stations in Kenya was put forward by Professor Zurbuchen
B.the project hasn ’tgot any support from Kenya ’s government
C.the Internet stations are powered by solar energy
D.Professor Zurbuchen is giving the project the technical direction
C
Eating hot dogs, ham and other processed meat can cause colorectal ( 直肠的 ) cancer, and eating red meat “probably ”can also cause cancer, the World Health Organization ’s cancer agency reported Monday.
Kurt Straif of the International Agency for Cancer Research said the risk of developing colorectal cancer
from eating processed meat remains small but rises with the amount consumed. Consuming red meat was linked
to colorectal cancer, but the link was not as strong, the IARC report said.
“In view of the large number of people who consume processed meat, the global effect on cancer incidence is of public health importance, ”Straif said.
“Red and processed meat are among 940 agents reviewed by IARC and found to show some level
theoretical ‘hazard’(危险 )，”institute spokeswoman Betsy Booren said.
Processed meat was defined as meat transformed through salting, curing, fermentation (发酵), smoking
of “or
other processes to improve flavor or preservation.”The most common processed meats consumed in the U.S. include hot dogs, sausages, bacon, ham, canned meat and beef jerky (牛肉干 ).
The IARC said it considered more than 800 studies that investigated possible links between a dozen types of cancer with the consumption of red meat or processed meat in many countries and populations with diverse diets.
“The experts concluded that each 50 gram portion –about 1.75 ounce, or about two strips of bacon –of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18% ”, the IARC said.
IARC director Christopher Wild said the findings support current public health recommendations to limit intake of meat but stressed that red meat has nutritional value. He said governments and international regulatory agencies must balance the risks and benefits of eating red meat and processed meat “to provide the best possible dietary recommendations. ”
28.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A.Cancer results from meat.
B.People should stop eating processed meat.
C.Cancer can be prevented.
D.Eating too much processed meat does harm to us.
29.Why is meat salted, cured or smoked?
A.To make meat taste better or preserved longer.
B.To add the weight of meat.
C.To cheat the consumers.
D.To process more meat.
30.We can infer from the passage the IARC drew the conclusion that __________.
A.red and processed meat is dangerous only if you eat it
B.there will be more studies about the links between meat and cancer
C.processed meat was harmful according to hundreds of studies
D.public health is becoming worse because of the consumption of meat
31.What ’s Christopher Wild ’s attitude towards red meat?
A.It is full of nutrition so it should be eaten.
B.People should control their consumption of it.
C.The way of eating red meat varies from one to another.
D.The government should give people proper suggestions about how to cook meat.
D
We forgot about speed. To make roadways safer for teens, the nation has focused much attention on
such critical issues as distracted ( 思想不集中的 ) driving and driving under the influence (of alcohol or drugs).
But speeding --- which is arguably even more critical --- has largely escaped such notice.
In a study supported by insurer State Farm, the Governors Highway Safety Association found that over the
past decade, there were 19,447 speed-related crashes involving teen drivers, with speeding as a cause of
deadly teen crashes rising from 30% to 33%.
If the US is to continue making progress in teen driving safety, it must address speeding, says Susan Ferguson, a highway safety consultant who authored the report.
“Speeding is something people aren't particularly concerned about, ”Ferguson says. “This is the first time, really, that we ’ve focused on this issue. We ’ve known for a while that speeding is an issue for young drivers, especially for young males, ”she says.
Half of all deadly crashes involving 16-year-old drivers with three or more passengers are speeding-related, according to the report.
“Unless speeding is recognized as a dangerous behavior, much the same as alcohol-involved driving, it
will continue to be difficult to address as a society, ”the report says.
Peter Kissinger, president and CEO of AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, says, “A lot of the traffic safety community believes that the distracted driving debate has unnecessarily taken focus away from speeding and the contribution that speeding makes to the bigger picture. ”
Speeding is so deep-rooted in American culture, which will be difficult to address, Kissinger says. His
group’s Traffic Safety Culture Index, a survey of nearly 4,000 people of driving age, found that 63%
considered speeding on streets “completely unacceptable ”--- but 47% had done it in the past month.
The report offers recommendations for state and local governments and for parents. State and local police should enforce ( 履行 ) speeding laws and use automated enforcement such as speed cameras. Parents should
not purchase vehicles for their teenagers right away. “When a teen first has a license, if they are the primary
owner of a vehicle, they are more likely to speed ”than in the family car, Ferguson says. Also, parents should choose larger and newer cars and not high-performance vehicles.
32.The first paragraph is written to ________.
A ．give the causes of the problem
B ．offer some solutions to the problem
C．introduce the topic of the text
D ．attract readers with some simple facts
33.According to the text, distracted driving __________.
A ．draws public attention away from speeding
34.What can we conclude from the results of Kissinger ’s survey?
A ．Speeding is very common in the US.
B ． Most American people tolerate speeding.
C．American culture is strongly against speeding.
D ．Nearly half of US teen drivers are used to speeding.
35.Susan Ferguson advises parents to ___________.
A ．prevent their teens from using the family car
B ． encourage their children to have a license
C． buy cheap or used cars for their teens
D ．put off buying their children a car

House-Sitting
House-sitting is the practice whereby a landlord (or "homeowner"), leaving their house for a period of time, entrusts (拜托 ) it to one or more "house-sitters". It means that if owners of the house are going away, they
want someone to come into their house and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.
In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van（房车） and travel all over the country.36
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their house to care for it
and keep the gardens tidy. House-sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming
pools in their back yards and they need cleaning.37I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.
38There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their houses.
There are some requirements to be a house-sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the house owner knows
you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of
free time.39You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.
Some house-sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner has a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had a house-sitting job for six months, while the home owner
travelled to Europe.
40Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners for whom you have done house-sitting. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their house well. You can show these letters to prospective house owners and they know you will do a good job.
A.Thousands of people do this all the time.
B.I have done house-sitting many times.
C.It is also possible to do house-sitting in other countries.
D.Generally you have many opportunities to get a house-sitting job.
E.You must take a little care over what your description says about you.
F.You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.
G.This is an international house-sitting service for all city and country areas.

Childhood is a time when there are little duties. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved no matter when he may do. It ’s impossible for him to be given such much again in his later life. But a child is not so free to do as he wishes it. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he had done wrong.
When the young man starts to make their own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents. Therefore, he can no longer expect others to pay his food, his clothes, and his room. He has to work hard to live comfortable. If so, he can have the great happiness of build up his own position in society.

Dear John,
I would like to tell you more about a new trend in China—delivering electronic red envelopes.
Traditionally, red envelopes represent good luck. The Chinese give red envelopes with cash to children during the Spring Festival and to new couples at their wedding parties. However, many people sent out their New Year's greetings through electronic red envelopes this year.
Electronic red envelopes are mainly sent by companies in order to earn more profit. Some people send electronic red envelopes to kids or friends for fun. Sometimes, one can even pay back money by sending electronic red envelopes.
Delivering electronic red envelopes is a good way to keep Chinese tradition alive. High technology is making our lives more and more convenient and interesting.
Yours,
Li Hua。
