The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一時(shí)的風(fēng)尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(簡(jiǎn)裝本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes(前綴) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(電子商務(wù)) first came into use.
Most “i” products are targeted at （針對(duì)）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s“ i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定義）,” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (輕便) .”adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.
小題1:People use iPlayer to __________.
A．listen to musicB．make a call
C．watch TV programs online D．read newspapers
小題2:We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.
A．young readersB．old readersC．fashionable womenD．engineers
小題3:The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.
A．popularB．uncertainC．clear D．unique
小題4: Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.
A．portableB．environmentally friendlyC．a(chǎn)dvancedD．recyclable
小題5:The writer suggests that __________.
A．“i” products are often of high quality
B．iTeddy is alive bear
C．the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D．the popularity of “i” products may not last long

The United Nations climate talks in Doha, Qatar, continued into their second week, Wednesday, as delegates from nearly 200 countries struggle to craft a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, the global agreement on climate change that expires at the end of this month.
The negotiations are deadlocked （陷入僵局）over demands by poorer nations for financial help in coping with climate change.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on delegates at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change to speed up their work on an agreement to address a warming planet.
“Let us be under no illusion（幻想）, this is a crisis, a threat to us all, our economies, our security and the well-being of our children and those who will come after," he said. "No one is immune to climate change, rich or poor.”
Delegates from nearly 200 countries --- rich and poor --- are in Doha to extend the Kyoto Protocol, the 1997 global climate change agreement that expires （到期）at the end of this month, and to begin to forge a new agreement to replace it.
Two issues block the way forward.  Developing countries are demanding that industrialized nations fulfill their pledges(保證)under Kyoto to reduce their climate-changing industrial emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and to put new, larger emission curbs on the table. 
The developing nations, led by China, are also insisting that rich nations provide more aid to poorer countries to help them cope with the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and more violent storms. 
In Doha Wednesday, Tim Gore, a climate change policy advisor for Oxfam International, a confederation of groups working on social justice issues, applauded efforts by England, Germany and Sweden to increase their climate aid and expects other nations to follow. 
“Those announcements are truly welcome.  And they shine a spotlight on those that have remained silent: the U.S., Canada, Japan, even Australia," Gore said. "But we need to be very clear as well that those types of announcements made in press conferences can be no substitute for clear commitments in the text that poor countries have come here to negotiate.”
小題1:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．China plays an important role in The United Nations climate talks in Doha, Qatar.
B．The United Nations climate talks in Doha, Qatar, continued into their second week, Wednesday.
C．Developing countries want rich nations to pay for climate change.
D．Ban Ki-moon called on delegates at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change to speed up their work on an agreement to address a warming planet.
小題2:What did United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Climate change will do harm to all the countries in the world.
B．There is no hope to deal with the problem.
C．Illusion（幻想）is a crisis, a threat to us all.
D．Ban Ki-moon called on delegates to cope with a warming planet.
小題3:What does the underlined word in Paragraph Five forge mean?
A．put aside B．deal withC．call offD．work out
小題4:Which of the following is Not true?
A．Climate change includes rising sea levels and more violent storms.
B．All the industrialized nations will carry out their promises under Kyoto to reduce their climate-changing industrial emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and to put new, larger emission curbs on the table.
C．Tim Gore thought highly of the efforts by England, Germany and Sweden to increase their climate aid and expects other nations to follow.
D．The U.S., Canada, Japan, even Australia didn’t make announcements to be responsible for the climate changes.

The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As one Norwegian politician said last week: “ We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”
Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this program has had a great deal of success. Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
小題1:The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to ______.
A．provide more jobs for foreign workers
B．slow down the rate of its development
C．sell the oil it is producing abroad
D．develop more quickly than at present
小題2:The Norwegian Government has tried to ______.
A．encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources
B．prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway
C．help the oil companies solve many of their problems
D．keep the oil industry to something near its present size
小題3:According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to ______.
A．the development of industry
B．a(chǎn) growth in population
C．the failure of the development program
D．the development of new towns
小題4:In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be ______.
A．a(chǎn) large reduction on unemployment
B．a(chǎn) growth in the tourist industry
C．a(chǎn) reduction in the number of existing industries
D．the development of a number of service industries
小題5:Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because ______.
A．they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal
B．their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal
C．their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society
D．they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life

Studies show farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients. But researchers say combining different farming methods may help.
Since the world food crisis several years ago, researchers have directed more of their attention to small farms. Most farms in areas south of the Sahara Desert are only about one or two hectares. One of the goals is to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops. 
American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perennation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants – those that return year after year.
Mr. Reganold, who is with Washington State University, says poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.
He estimates that up to two billion dollars worth of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium is lost from African soil each year.
The scientist says the word perennation defines three systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant trees with their crops. John Reganold says farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity.
The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia. The trees are planted among maize, millet or sorghum crops. They not only add nitrogen to the soil through their roots, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down. At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.
Mr. Reganold was one of three researchers who wrote a report about perennation. It was published in the journal Nature.
小題1:Farmland in Africa ________.
A．is often small in size
B．can produce more than enough crops for Africans
C．is short of important nutrients
D．has got the attention of scientists around the world
小題2:Researchers focused their attention on small farmlands for the reason that ________.
A．Africa was going through a food crisis
B．most farms in areas south of the Sahara Desert are small
C．there are not enough farmlands
D．farmers may grow additional crops on farmland
小題3:The word“perennation”mentioned in this passage ________.
A．is a farming method of planting food crops with trees
B．is a new farming method
C．can help African people produce more food than they need
D．is gaining widespread use around the world
小題4:We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．perennation will be widely used by farmers in Africa
B．American government will help African countries increase food production
C．African countries is short of farmland
D．some farmers are destroying their farmland in Africa on purpose

MUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"
Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《貧民窟的百萬(wàn)富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.
But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood.
"I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food."
"Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.
In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which are their home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.
The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of the movie—is always all around.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true about the two children?
A．They were the only two child stars in the movie, Slum dog Millionaire.
B．They had been having a difficult life in India.
C．They were interviewed before they went back home.
D．They were both excited about receiving the award.
小題2:What can we infer from the text?

JIUQUAN, China—China’s Shenzhou-9 spacecraft blasted off(點(diǎn)火升空)at 6:37 pm Saturday, from a remote desert in western China, sending a crew of three, including the country’s first female astronaut, into space.
The successful launch, powered by a Long March 2F rocket, was shown live on state television Saturday from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert in western China.
The Chinese astronauts will complete the country’s first manned space docking mission(載入太空對(duì)接任務(wù)), an important step in Beijing’s ambitious plan to build a permanent space station by 2020. Possible future missions could include sending a man to the moon.
The crew is expected to spend more than 10 days in space and dock with the Tiangong-1 space lab module, which China launched in September 2011. Two of them will live and work inside the module to test its life-support systems, while the third will remain in the capsule to deal with any unexpected emergencies.
China first launched a man into space in 2003, followed by a two-man mission in 2005 and a three-man trip in 2008 that featured the country’s first spacewalk. In November 2011, the unmanned Shenzhou-8 successfully docked twice with Tiangong-1 by remote control. The manned docking would be considered a milestone for China’s space program.
China is hoping to join the United States and Russia as the only countries to send independently maintained space stations into orbit(軌道). It is already one of just three nations to have launched manned spacecraft on their own.
The program is a source of enormous national pride for China, reflecting its rapid economic and technological progress and ambition to rank among the world’s leading nations.
