Antinuclear Demonstration
Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sun-power, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.
小題1:What were the demonstrators protesting about?
A Private profits.     B Nuclear Power Station.
C The project of nuclear power construction.   D Public peril.
小題2:Who had gas-masks?
A Everybody.    B A part of the protestors.

C Pollution.             D Disposal of wastes.
小題4:With whom were the jails and courts overloaded?

C With criminals.        D With protestors.
小題5:What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project and the demonstration?
A stubborn.       B insistent.     C insolvable.        D remissible.

小題5:A

這是一則有關(guān)反對核電站的群眾示威抗議的新聞導(dǎo)報，采用對比手法。警方鎮(zhèn)壓；群眾堅決抗議。第一段就寫出了盡管警方釋放催淚瓦斯，逮捕了5000多人，示威組織者申明抗議要繼續(xù)下去，越來越多的抗議者參與對當局加壓，想迫使其廢除在當?shù)亟⒑穗娬镜挠媱�。其理由是在人口密集地區(qū)建站不安全，在海灣產(chǎn)生熱污染，核廢料處理無有效方法。
第二段敘述了州長大人堅決維護核電站的立場，不再考慮計劃修改問題，三年內(nèi)要完成核電站建設(shè)。屆時，本州人民得益。對企圖破壞計劃實施而違法的人將以法處置。已集結(jié)全州警察加強對付這次搗亂。
第三段講了雙方現(xiàn)場交戰(zhàn)：星期五破曉，數(shù)千示威者（高舉示威牌，上寫：沒有核電站就是好的核電站；不要核能，要太陽能等）沖過建設(shè)基地警察警戒線，警察用催淚瓦斯無效后，開始一個一個地抓逮示威者，被捕者將被控以非法集會、侵入和擾亂治安等罪名。
小題1:抗議建設(shè)核電站計劃。不是抗議核電站。至于B. 核電站還未建，所以不對。A. 私人利益和 D. 公共危險，這些都是示威牌上之口號不是抗議的主攻方向。
小題2:最后一段第四行最后和第五行“抗議者準備了他們自己的防毒面具或面罩。最后，頭戴防毒面具和頭盔的警察沖進人群一個一個地抓逮示威者�！彼哉f兩方面都有防毒面具。
小題3:A 公共交通運輸。
B. 公共危險。 C. 污染。 D. 廢料處理，是三個抗議的理由。
小題4:被逮捕的示威者。第一段最后一行“示威要繼續(xù)下去直到州監(jiān)牢和州法庭人滿為患，從而使州司法體系垮臺。”說明示威者準備去坐牢，決不服輸?shù)臎Q心。而人多到監(jiān)牢裝不下證明州司法的問題。所以這里只能是被抓的示威者。
A. 犯人。 C. 罪犯。D.抗議者。警察不可能抓所有的抗議者。關(guān)在牢里的只能是被抓的示威者。
小題5:A 固執(zhí)己見，冥頑不化。見第二段他堅持說核電站計劃不用再考慮，三年內(nèi)一定要建成，計劃準時開始，本州人民到時候就能獲益。對這些違法企圖破壞計劃的人依法懲處。并且從州內(nèi)各處調(diào)集警察來處理這次“騷亂”。從語言到行動都說明，這位州長固執(zhí)己見，頑固得很。B. 堅持的。 C. 不能解決的。 D. 可寬恕的。

The deserts of the world are not all covered with sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay or small stones. They are not flat, either. They often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plants’ life in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants.
The deserts of the world are not uninhabited(not lived by people). People also live outside oases(綠洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water.

When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, pat them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people.

Each high school has its own policy. One good example is that some high schools require all students to wear uniforms, while others do not. I have been to both types of schools, and if I have to decide which one is better, I will pick the former.
Perhaps every student has this experience: once you are in your school uniforms, you will care more about your own behavior. Uniforms give you an identity that always reminds that you belong to a group. What you do will not only represent yourself, but also the group you belong to, as well as the people with you. In other words, you carry the responsibility to maintain the honor of the group. When you are in your own clothes, it doesn’t matter for you to behave badly in public, but when in your uniform, it does. For high school students, who are not adults yet, this is a good way to shape their behavior.
Moreover, uniforms create an atmosphere of equality. While permitted to wear their won clothes, students may pay much attention to what they wear, in order to show how rich their families are. While in uniforms, all students, rich or poor, look the same, and will be treated equally.
Besides, free from the desires to gain what is new in the shopping mall, wearing uniforms helps students to concentrate on their study.
For all the reasons above, I believe that it is a better choice for high school students to wear uniforms.  They can wear them after school or on weekends.
小題1:According to the author, high schools that require students to wear uniforms______.
A．a(chǎn)re more attractive to students
B． are more strict with students
C． carry out a better policy
D． admit more excellent students.
小題2:How many reasons does the author give to support his or her ideas?
A．twoB．threeC．fourD．five
小題3:According to Paragraph 2, wearing uniforms helps students_______.
A．focus on their study
B．become responsible
C．build up their confidence
D．find the group they belong to
小題4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A wise choice, to wear school uniform
B．An honor, to wear your school uniform
C．A difficult choice, in school uniform or not?
D．A difficult choice, which school should we pick?

Stricter Traffic Law Can Prevent Accidents
From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous（不平凡的）age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car ! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-years-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as to severe if tit results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.
小題1:The main idea of this passage is
A Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.
B Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.
C The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.
D Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.
小題2:What does the author think of society toward motorists?
A Society smiles on the motorists.   B Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.
C Victims of accidents are nothing.  D Society condones their rude driving.
小題3:Why does the author say:’ his car becomes the extension of his personality?’
A Driving can show his real self.      B Driving can show the other part of his personality.
C Driving can bring out his character.  D His car embodies his temper.
小題4:Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?
A Build more highways.       B Stricter driving tests.
C Test drivers every three years. D raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.
小題5:The attitude of the author is
A ironical        B critical        C appealing     D militant

閱讀短文，回答后面的問題。
For many of us, cartoon strips are simply one of our pastimes. The popular Japanese manga(漫畫) provides us with an escape from reality into a world of fantasy, adventure and romance. With much less text and pictures running for pages, it fits perfectly into today's fast, throwing away city lifestyle.
But Tsai Chih-chung, a famous Taiwanese illustrator (漫畫家), doesn't agree. He believes cartoons can be a bridge connecting traditional Chinese culture and wisdom with the modern world in a much wittier and more acceptable way.
He has interpreted Lao Zi, Confucius, Mencius, Zhuang Zi and Sun Zi and made their works accessible to a global audience. He has also produced two books about Zen (禪宗), introducing oriental philosophy. His cartoons are humorous yet full of wisdom and are admired as an easy way to learn Chinese classics.
After avoiding the public for ten years, Tsai made a comeback in late April with seven new works. But does his age, 61, work as a gap between him and his young readers? Tsai doesn't think so. The topics he has covered range from philosophy in a time of individuality to the learning and memorizing techniques used at school. "Every child is a genius and has the potential beyond his own imagination," he said.
If popular Japanese manga is purely for entertainment, Tsai's work, to a large extent, is to light the power of thinking in a light-hearted way. Tsai uses different forms of water to refer to people. In his eyes some people are like an ocean, some are like vapor (水蒸汽), while others may be ice or rain. But in essence they share a similarity – human being's forever chasing for the true and the good. "The person who thinks over life issues is not necessarily a scholar or a philosopher," he said. "I've dedicated my whole life to thinking and individual freedom, not making a living."
1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph in the passage?
A. Japanese manga is a simple way of killing time.
B. What Japanese manga is mainly about.
C. Japanese manga presents a world of fantasy, adventure and romance.
D. Why Japanese manga is so popular.
2. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to___________.
A. much less text                               B. Japanese manga
C. pictures running for pages               D. an escape from reality
3. In Tsai Chih-chung’s opinion, cartoon ___________.
A. connects traditional Chinese culture and wisdom.
B. helps connect Chinese classics with modern world.
C. uses a wiser and acceptable way to draw cartoons.
D. builds up a bridge between cartoons and illustration.
4. What is the main difference between Japanese manga and Tsai’s works in this passage?
A. His works are mainly designed for a pure time killer for all.
B. His works are more popular with young readers in China now.
C. His works are to inspire people to think in a cheerful way.
D. His works are much more interesting and instructive.
5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Tsai Chih-chung?
A. He thinks some people are like ocean, some like vapor, while others like ice cream.
B. He says that one who thinks over life is either a scholar or a philosopher.
C. He values more thinking and personal freedom than making a living.
D. Tsai devoted his life to creating cartoons in order to make money.

Happiness, rather than working hard, is the key to success, according to research published yesterday. Cheerfu1 peop1e are more 1ikely to try new things and challenge（wk戰(zhàn)）themselves， which strengthens their good emotion and leads to success in work，good relationships and strong health，say psychologists（心理學家）.
The findings suggest that happiness is not a “ feel-good” luxury（奢侈品），but is necessary for people’s well-being. What is more, happiness can also reach an entire nation，with people in” happy” nations being more likely to help others.
The link between happiness and success was studied by a team from the University of California Riverside，led by Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky.
First, they examined questionnaires that ask peop1e about their 1ives. “ For example, they show that happy people are likely to earn higher incomes” said Lyubomirsky. Having established the link，they wanted to discover the cause.
“Almost always it has been taken for granted that things that connect closely to happiness are the causes of happiness，but it could be just the opposite that those things are likely to be caused by happiness，” said Professor Ed Diener from the University of Illinois，another author on the paper.
“ There was strong evidence that happiness leads people to be more sociable，more generous and more productive at work，to make more money，and to have stronger immune（免疫）systems，”said Lyubomirsky.
The research shows that while success can put a spring in someone’s step，peop1e need happiness in the first place to achieve success.
According to the study， around 4 out of 5 people in modern industrialized nations arc happy at any one time.
Success was not just about earning lots of money. “ We describe success as having the things that culture or society values，whether it be friends，close family, money and income，or long life，”said Diener.
However，sorrowful people arc not predetermined to lead a life of failure.
小題1:In this passage，which of the following viewpoints does Professor Lyubomirsky state？
A．People in less happy countries are more likely to help others.
B．Things connected to happiness are brought about by happiness.
C．Happiness results in richer and healthier people.
D．Success means possessing things that a cu1ture or society thinks highly of.
小題2:The underlined phrase “ put a spring in someone’s step” means          .
A．put you in good spiritsB．put spring water on your feet
C．have a pleasant walk in springD．step into a cheerful spring
小題3:According to the passage，which of the following is true？
A．People arc happy because they earn more money.
B．People earn more money because they are happy.
C．Working hard is important for being successful.
D．We can do whatever we like as 1ong as we feel happy.
小題4: We can infer from the passage that          .
A．fee1ing good is a cause and not an effect of achievement
B．our life would be a failure if we were not happy
C．happiness is just a personal problem
D．being successful mainly means being wealthy
