China news, Beijing, Feb 9---Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property(房地产) developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than that in the United States.
This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate(房地产) market, the International Finance News reported..
Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted (兑换) to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.
The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles .Moreover ,Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in the Us in terms of building quality ,environment and supporting facilities .Furthermore ,it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people .How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the US?
At the beginning of 2007 , Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public .Now in order to reduce the high housing prices ,the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans(贷款) and lands to property developers .At the same time ,the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund--raising channels ,such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units .By applying these by multiple(多样的) ways, it is expected that the high housing prices per square meter can be lowered.
56.According to the passage, what is the average housing price per square meter in China?
A. 8,000 yuan
B. 10,000 yuan
C. 7,000 yuan
D. It’s not mentioned here
57. Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housing price in China is
even higher than that in the USA?
A. Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in Us in terms of building quality,
environment and supporting facilities.
B. American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese
people.
C. The houses in the US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property
developers do when they sell their houses.
D. There are more people who need houses in China.
58. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The housing price in China is so high that the government should do something useful to
prevent it.
B. There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.
C. The average housing price in China is even higher than in the USA.
D. Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.
59. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing
prices?
A. Four
B. Three
C. Five
D. Two

Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.
I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it’s not even really a campus. It’s more like a district in a small town.
Harvard’s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they’re a little shabby. They don’t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st
century again. It creates a strong contrast(对照) and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?”
I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the chirping(鸟叫声) of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all.
Harvard has the world’s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.
I hope one day I’ll attend my dream school---Harvard.
60. The article is mainly about ______.
A. the author’s campus life in Harvard
B. the author’s impression of Harvard
C. Harvard’s old buildings
D. the academic system at Harvard
61. According to the article, in which fields is Harvard top in the world
A. Literature, art, and law
B. Religion, law and arts
C. Literature, arts and computer science
D. Religion, computer science and literature
62. Which word can be used to describe the Harvard campus?
A. Modern
B. Competitive
C. Peaceful
D. Splendid
C
In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car.
This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a diner and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had “lost his wallet”. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the stool where the man was sitting.
He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change and headed west.
On the way out of the town, it dawned on（使开始明白）him. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass (使尴尬) me. I’d been praying for a few days before that, and right then I just made a little promise. I said, “ if ever you put me in a position to help other people, I will do it.”
Now older, the man lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He’s known as the “ Secret Santa”, because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City and New York City

Sample Writing
Many of us feel somehow nervous whenever we are taking an important exam. Nervousness not only does harm to st udents’ health but also disturb our study. So it’s necessary for us students to learn to relax. I think it’s very important to have a right attitude toward exams. Exams are only a means of checking what we have learned. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the results. Before an exam, making a scientific study plan and keeping a peaceful mind can help to reduce the pressure from the exams. We can also relax ourselves by doing sports and listening to music. Besides, enough sleep and a balanced diet will work as well.
Follow my advice and you will enjoy your school life.。
