A

Mr. Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in Italy. He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves，which looked much like ordinary work gloves，he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. How astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all. You can well imagine that he had increased business in asbestos roofing materials. However，because it was very expensive to transport them from Italy to the United States, Mr. Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found great vein, in the province of Quebec in Canada.

Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral，which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. When it is separated，a strange thing happens; the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibers.

    Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads(线)，but they have found thousands of uses of this fireproof material, of the so- called “cloth of stone.”

21. Which title best expresses the main idea of this passage?

A. Asbestos mined in Canada                                                        B. Fireproof material  

C. A “wonder” material                                          D.A new roofing material

22. Johns proved his ability as a salesman by___.

   A. going into roofing business                                                        B. carrying asbestos from Italy

   C. sending out a trained scientist                     D. showing the use of asbestos gloves

23. Which is the most important character of asbestos that the author wants to show us?

   A. It is like thread                                              B. It feels soapy

   C. It burns easily                                   D. It is unusually heavy

24. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage was to___.

   A. show the need for more scientists                             B. compare asbestos with other materials

   C. increase the sales of asbestos                                           D. present facts about asbestos

B         

BEIJING(China Daily2010-8-27)---With a rapid increase in the number of Chinese PhD graduates programs in the past decade, it seems the quality of educating doctoral students is falling.

    About 70 percent of employers complain that employees who hold PhDs show little creation in their work performance, according a resent survey.

    The number of PhD students in China reached 246,300 in2009, about five times the figure in 1999. China replaced the United States to become the world’s top producer of doctorate holders in 2008, according to an Asia Times report.

    “Nowadays, it is not rare for people in their 30s to become professors in Chinese universities, but I really doubt their experience and capability at such a young age,” said Ge Daoshun, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

    Almost half of the professors admitted each of them had to direct more than seven PhD candidates. Some 60 percent of PhD candidates admitted they have been given more than half of their professors’ research projects. The relationship between PhD students and their teachers has become an employment, in other words, a ”master-apprentice” relationship, since professors use their students as cheap labor to do research.

    “Chinese universities should reform the tutorial system and introduce more stricter requirements for people to get a PhD diploma to improve the quality of education,” Ge told China Daily.

25. What does the underline word in Para,5 mean?

A. teacher                                                        B. director                                          C. student                                          D. co-operator

26. From what Liu Xin said in the last paragraph, we can know______.

   A. the quality of doctorates is based on the quality of students

   B. the PhD students in China are not so good as those in western countries

   C. the PhD students in China are not good at academic research

   D. the PhD students in other countries do not want to make money

27. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?

   A. PhD education in China          

B. PhDs: High in number, low in quality

   C. The differences of PhDs between Chinese and other countries

   D. The “master-apprentice” relationship

C    

Unknown to the man, two things had occurred which were to affect his life that day. On the thirteenth floor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate open. Down in the basement, a pipe had burst and it had flooded from the bottom of the lift shaft to a depth of two feet.

Modern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe system to prevent accidents, but this was ancient equipment unreliable, slow, dangerous, and unsuitable material to recycle.

    The man had plenty of things to occupy his mind that morning. He had overslept. The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment. He dressed quickly, shaved hurriedly, took hold of his briefcase and hurried off down the hotel corridor.

The man fell, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then crash!

Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped. Certainly he learnt that this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.

28. What do we learn about the man?

   A. He fell from the 13th floor.                                                                      B. He was hit by an ambulance.

   C. He got caught in a serious flood.                                                        D. He made a record for high-diving

29. By “… had no business to be alive”, the writer means that the man____.

   A. had missed his business appointment                                          B. was alive with excitement

   C. was alive and this was surprising                                                        D. didn’t do any business

30. The lift did not have a fail-safe system because it was_____.

   A. narrow                                              B. slow                                              C. large                                               D. old

31. Which of the following was NOT the cause of the accident?

   A. A pipe burst                                                                                                   B. The man overslept  

C. The hotel forgot to call him                                                         D. Someone left the lift door open

Name: Sam Champion

  Hot job: TV Weatherman

  Where: WABC-TV, New York City

  When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?

I want to be a foreign journalist. I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news

  How did you finally become a weatherman?

  My first job in the early 80’s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and become interested in them.

  Back then, how did you forecast weather?

  Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weather man was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm

Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?

  Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar（sound waves used to track storms）have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.

Any advice for children who’d like to become weather scientists?

To me, weather is the most exciting filed in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answers. After all, if we can’t foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists will unlock many of Earth science, and study meteorology in college

  Thanks, Sam

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.                              -------Dale Carnegie

If we really want to be happy, why do we act like such babies?

We can claim to be proactive in our life by setting goals and going after what we want. But if we’re always complaining all the time, are we really living effectively？

36. _____ Whether it is being stuck in traffic, being bothered by the weather, not enough mustard on

your sandwich, or whatever it is, there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain.

But it’s not just outside circumstances that we complain about. 37 _____ We complain that we don’t have enough time, we don’t have enough money（this one is huge because it’s often “true”），that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough.

38. _____ I never really thought about it much until I found this website about “Living in a complaint-free world”.

Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining? Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway. What’s the point of thinking about something you have no power to change? 39. _____

Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping. When you recognize that you’re complaining, stop and take notice of it. Ask yourself if you would rather complain, or be happy.
