A
Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke, there has been confusion(混淆) over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever.
Sudan1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilly powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003.
Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled.
Last week Sudan’s Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification of the origin of the dye’s name.
Omaima Mahmud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudan’s Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye.
"We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said. "Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our country. But they told us there was no relationship."
The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese embassy last week.
"They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name," she said. "People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out."
Sudan dyes, which include Sudan1 to 4, are red dyes(颜料) used for coloring solvents(溶剂), oils, waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes. They are classified as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

58. We can infer from the passage that.
A. the Sudan government is paying much attention to the food safety
B. Sudan1 is often used to be added to the food
C. people didn’t realize the danger of Sudan1 until 2003
D. many food shops will be closed down

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
60.According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

62.The writer of this passage would probably favor .
A. bus drivers who aren’t reckless B. driving alone
C. a television set on the bus D. no billboards along the road
63.The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because .

A. exciting B. comfortable C. tiring D. boring

Modern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. More than that,though,he has also interfered (干涉) with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man’s interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau (凯亚巴布高原) of northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.
The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large sized pine, Douglas fir, white fir, blue and Engelmann spruce. In 1882 a visitor noted,"We,who ... have wandered through its forests and parks, have come to regard it as the most enchanting region it has ever been our privilege (特权) to visit.” This was also the living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too rapidly.
Then, in 1906,President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer’s enemies. In 25 years’ time,6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, by 1924,there were about 100,000.
The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of deer was permitted again. This caused a
slight decrease in the deer herd (鹿群),but a far greater loss resulted from starvation (饥饿) and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By 1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.
65.The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from .
A. turning the forest into cultivated land
B.interfering with natural cycle of forest life
C.forest fires caused by man’s carelessness
D. cutting the trees for building materials
66."Engelmann spruce"(Para. 2) is most likely the name of .
A. a tree B. an animal C. a mountain D. a game
67.The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in years’ time.
A.25 B.6 C.18 D.12
68.Years later, large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of .
A. the cold B. the organized kill
C. the shortage of food D. the poor management

In the USA Forbes magazine has published its annual list of the richest people in the world. Bill Gates of Microsoft is the richest man again for the eleventh successive year with a fortune of forty-four billion dollars.
There are a record 691 dollar billionaires according to Forbes magazine. Between them they have a fortune of two point two trillion dollars.

58. B推断题。根据EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled.可知某些食品因含有"苏丹红"而被召回。故可推断"苏丹红"经常用作食品添加剂。
59. B主旨大意题。根据there has been confusion over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever. 可知本文主要讲"苏丹红"与苏丹这个国家是否有联系的问题,故B最佳。
60.C文章的第一段中,作者叙述了乘客在坐长途车中所见的是广告牌。
61.A全文都是作者表述对乘车长途旅行中的广告的意见和看法。

71.A细节题。根据though surprisingly perhaps none from China excluding Hong Kong可知中国大陆无人进入富豪榜前60名,但香港有人进入,故A项陈述是错误的。
72.C推断题。根据among them is JK Rowling,author of the Harry Potter novels ranked 620th with a fortune of 519 million dollars.可知JK罗琳主要是因为她写的小说《哈利波特》而位居排行榜第620位,故可断定她写的书一定很畅销。

BEUING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition (传统) of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
While China may be the world’s biggest toymaker, many of the best are exported (出口). Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. 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 childcare 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, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage (阶段) 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.
56. 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.

Beijing (Xinhua): When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)!It’s Curarpikt!"
At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that’s exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was co splaying (角色扮演) "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《猎人》)by Yoshihiro Togashi.
"I co splay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15yearold girl. "I’m moved by his sad story and I’m attracted by his courage and personality."
In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kindhearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture(掳获)the people who killed his tribe(部落).
Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series(动画片)of Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt"in a co splay show.
"I had watched co splay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It’s really exciting to see young people wearing the makeup and costumes of characters that you’ve read about and are familiar with."
"But that time I just fell in love with co splaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."
Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a co splay show in Beijing in October.
"It’s a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.
But she never talks about her hobby with her parents.
"They think it will distract me from my studies. I don’t want to upset them, that’s my secret hobby," she said. "It’s also why I don’t dye my hair for co splaying like all the others."

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later.” I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted
money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later.” But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life.” They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said.” Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."

68. In the Big Ten meet,Owens.
A. hurt himself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed D.had to give up some events
69. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because.
A. he was not of the right race
B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn’t shake hands with Hitler
D. he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone

A. have been changed for money to help him live on

C. Making A Living As A Sportsman
D. How To Be A Successful Athlete

Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way (银河系)? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye. They would have to sleep for years.
European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.
What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleeplike state where they don’t age. They have now moved on to the small, nonhibernating mammals (哺乳动物) like rats.
A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex (复杂的). "It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.
Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter (栖身所). Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.
According to Ayre, the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission (使命) to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.
72.According to the article, the hibernation research _______.
A. is just an idea B. is always a science fiction
C. has already finished successfully D. has made some progress
73.In a hibernating state, a person needs ________.
A. less sleep B. more food C. less energy D. more movement
74.The first try of the hibernation technology the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon Callisto.
A. will be B. has been planned for
C. is certain to be D. may be
75.What is the best title of the article?
A. Hibernation study for space travel B. Welcome to our space travel
C. To hibernate, to live longer D. Welcome to the Milky Way

57.A 由第四段第二句可知。
58.D 由第五段第一句可知。
59.D 本文主要是谈中国具有教育性的玩具。
这是一篇广告,主要介绍了北京朝阳剧院的杂技节目、中国儿童剧院的戏剧《绿帽子》、北京人民艺术剧院的《木偶戏》和长安大剧院的京剧节目播出的相关信息。
60.C本题为细节判断题。Story of Puppets
是在北京人民艺术剧院演出而不是在中国儿童剧院,故A不正确;由广告一可知参加演出的一些演员获过奖,而不是在这些节目由获过奖的人演出,故选项B不正确;广告四并未提及京剧演出者来自全国各地,故选项D不正确;由广告二、广告三可知这两个剧院在三月五号有演出,故有两个剧可选择。
61.D本题为细节判断题。在March 15继续举行演出的只有广告一中所提到的杂技节目,因为演出是每天晚上`7∶15(7∶15 p.m. Daily)。
62.A 本题为正误判断题。由广告三可知Story of Puppets将融合京剧(Peking Opera), 昆曲(Kunqu Opera),平剧(Pingju Opera)等,故A选项正确。
本文是一篇新闻报道类文章。主要介绍了在北京举办的观众喜爱的动画人物模仿秀的表演中,一位特别引人注目的扮演Curarpikt的15岁女孩Shi Jia的有关情况。
63.A 通读全文可知本文是重点介绍上星期在北京举办的观众喜爱的动画人物模仿秀,其中一位特别引人注目,她是扮演Curarpikt的15岁女孩Shi Jia,所以选A。动画片的角色很多,Curarpikt只是孩子们喜欢的角色之一,所以可以排除B;co splay文中已有该单词的注解,意为"角色扮演",显然C项错误。被模仿的角色是动画片中的人物,文章所介绍的模仿秀是在舞台上进行表演,不是在动画片中扮演角色,故也排除D项。
64.C 根据本文第三段Shi Jia之所以扮演Curarpikt是因为she likes him and is attracted by his courage and personality,从文章的第三段她说的话可以证实。
65.D 根据Shi Jia在最后一段中所说的话"I don’t want to upset them, that’s my secret hobby..."可以推测distract意为"分散注意力";get rid of:摆脱;keep out of: 不让某人进入,让某人避开某物;give courage to:鼓励。
66.B 据第二段第二句话可以知道A项正确;从第一段观众对Shi Jia出现在台上的热烈反应可知表演很成功,也由此可知teenagers十分喜欢动画片人物,因此排除C、D两项;从最后一段I don’t want to upset them, that’s my secret hobby.可知Shi Jia的 父母不支持她。
