When I was seven years old, my family created an ant farm from a kit（工具箱）. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to 36 . 37 he chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels.

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 fees 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 a 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 take naps in my classroom. In addition to holding down 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. Last year, one of my best students missed several of my classes. When I called him to ask why, he told me he and his wife, who is also a student, were weighed down with the responsibilities of caring for their two- month old daughter along with their studies. He felt the only answer was to leave temporarily from his
studies.
Most American university professors are strict. They test students on every unit in their courses, 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.
59. All the following are difficulties American students have to face except .
A. they have to work hard to pay the high tuition fees
B. many American students have a burden of a family
C. they need a good education to get a good job
D. they have to pass strict tests to complete their education
60. All the following statements are supported by the passage except “”.
A. American students have no time to think of physical exercises.
B. Sporting activities are popular among American students
C. American students should take part in various social activities.
D. Those who don’t like taking part in social and sporting activities are usually laughed by others.
61. Compared with American students, Chinese university students .
A. have no difficulty in paying their fees
B. live a fairly easy life in universities
C. don’t have to take part-time jobs
D. have the duty to make greater progress
62. The best title of this passage should be .
A. Part-time jobs chosen by American students
B. The high fees of American universities
C. The difficult lives of the American students
D. Different opinions on American universities
C
BEIJING —Hollywood director Spielberg’s decision to quit the Beijing Olympics over the Darfur Crisis (达尔富尔危机) is drawing anger and criticism from China’s media and the Chinese public.
Last week, the American director withdrew from his role as an artistic adviser to the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Games, accusing China of not doing enough to press for peace in the troubled Sudanese region.
Officially, the Chinese government has not directly criticized Spielberg by name, expressing only “regret” over his decision. But the media and the public have been far less restrained (克制).
“A certain Western director was very na ive (幼稚的) and made an unreasonable decision on the Beijing Olympics. This is perhaps because of his unique Hollywood characteristics,” said a front-page editorial (社论) Wednesday in the overseas edition of the Peo ple’s Daily. “He is not qualified to blame China because he knows nothing about the great efforts the Chinese government has made on Darfur.”
An editorial in the China Youth Daily was equally severe in its wording. “This film director is famous for his science fiction. But now it seems that he lives in a world of science fiction and he can’t distinguish a dream from reality.” it said.
China is believed to have influence over Sudanese leaders because it buys two-thirds of Sudan’s oil exports. China also sel ls weapons to the Islamic government and defends it in the United Nations.
Over 200,000 people have died in Darfur in a conflict between rebels (造反者) and
government forces.
The issue also has exploded on the Internet, where many Chinese have been quick to add their criticism of Spielberg.
“We should have never invited him at first,” said one person on . “Spielberg used the sacred Olympics as a tool. There are so many simpler or more complicated issues than the Darfur issue in the world,” another person said. “I rarely heard him say anything.”
But the recent storm of international criticism has caused China to take some steps.
In an interview published Wednesday, its special envoy (特使) to Darfur said Western countries should have helped to advance the peace process by pressuring rebel leaders to take part in peace talks. “Western powers can use more positive influence on those rebel leaders because many of them live in Western capitals.” Envoy Liu Guijin was quoted as saying in the China Daily newspaper. Abdel Wahid Nur, one of the most influential rebel leaders, lives in France.
Liu will be making his fourth visit to Darfur later this month. In a telephone call Tuesday to British Pri me Minister Gordon Brown, Premier Wen Jiabao detailed China’s efforts to establish peace in Darfur.
63. What excuse did Spielberg give for quitting the Beijing Olympic Games?
A. China isn’t qualified to hold the Olympic Games.
B. China provides weapons to Sudan and causes trouble in the region.
C. China exports two-thirds of oil to Sudan.
D. China doesn’t do as much as it can to help bring peace to Sudan.
64. Which of the following is NOT criticism from the Chinese media and public on Spielberg’s
decision?
A. Spielberg uses the Olympics as a tool for political purposes.
B. Spielberg knows nothing about the great efforts China has made on Darfur.
C. Spielberg knows little about films and less about politics.
D. Spielberg is naive and can not tell a dream from reality.
65. The Chinese government has done all the following in response to the Spielberg issue
EXCEPT that __________.
A. it indirectly criticized Spielberg without mentioning his name
B. it criticized western powers for not doing enough to deal with the crisis
C. it made public on newspapers its efforts to establish peace in Darfur
D. it is going to send its envoy to Darfur on another visit
66. One of the reasons why China is thought to have great influence over the Sudanese leaders is
that __________.
A. China has more positive influence on those rebel leaders
B. China buys weapons from the Islamic government
C. China opposes Sudan in the United Nations
D. China buys two-thirds of the country’s oil exports
D
If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline-powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.
In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions (排放) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.
The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution (溶液) of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical
reactions that would turn it into fuel: gasoline or jet fuel.
This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycle — equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed — would mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic (合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming.
Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the concept has been built, is operatin g or has a close cousin that is operating,” Dr. Martin said.
The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than previous proposals.
There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory: it requires a great deal of energy.
According to their analysis, their concept, which would cost about $5 billion to build, could produce gasoline at an operating cost of $1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60 a gallon.
Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluate it fully because the details had not been published.
“It’s definitely worth pursuing,” said Martin I. Hoffert, a professor of physics at New York University. “It’s not that new an idea. It has a couple of pieces to it that are interesting.”
67. What is the idea of the project being discussed in the article?
A. Recycling the carbon dioxide from cars back into gasoline.
B. Create a new gasoline that gives off very little carbon dioxide.
C. Using a special liquid solution to absorb carbon dioxide from cars.
D. Build synthetic fuel factories to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
68. What’s the name given to the new concept?
A. Synthetic Fuel.
B. Green Freedom.
C. Renewable Fuel.
D. Carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline Factory.
69. Which of the following is NOT one of the benefits of this new concept as suggested in the
article?
A. Reduction of global warming.
B. Cheaper gasoline for cars.
C. Longer life of cars. C. Less pollution of the atmosphere.
70. What’s the biggest problem in realizing the concept according to the report?
A. Shortage of starting funds.
B. Immature technology involved.
C. All previous similar attempts have failed.
D. The use of too much energy in running the fuel factory.

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many people’s beliefs about what is right or wrong are going through major changes. While people traditionally prioritize (优先) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to
outside influences.
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and
selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did
greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned(指责) then. But we can
not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less
pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer,
either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy
doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others
can actually encourage the development of a mutually(相互) beneficial relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to
strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being
caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others. Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
Main comparisons Contexts
(71) ________ are changing. In the past people put caring, sharing and generosity
in the first (72) ________.
Nowadays, people seem to be more (73) ________
about themselves.
(74) ________ are changing too. People in the past appeared to be modest and
self-effacing (谦让的).
People may try to achieve their own (75) ________ at
the price of their co-workers.
The author’s unders tanding
(76) ________ of the changes in the author’s eyes Fierce competition and great (77) ________ on
modern people may (78) ________ to the changes.
The author’s (79) ________ towards the topic A relationship which can (80) ________ two sides
should be established.

六、写作：One possible version:
Recently our school has had a survey on reading. It shows that 45 percent of the students spend their time reading textbooks after school. 30 percent of the students choose to read cartoons in their leisure time. However, only 10 percent enjoy reading literature.
Why are so many students unwilling to spend some time in reading serious works? According to the survey, 48 percent of the students say they have no enough time because they have too much homework to do. Some complain that literature works are so thick that they have hardly enough patience to finish them. Others who only concentrate on how to get high scores simply admit that reading literature won’t help them at all with their exams.
In fact, as far as I’m concerned, books play an important role in our life. Literature works help us learn the customs and cultures in the past and at present, at home and aboard. It provides us with good examples of writing. (152 words)。
