All it took was a slice of Xinjiang cake to spark heated debates online over China's policy on ethnic（民族的）minorities .
Since Monday, qiegao (cut cake) has been a trending topic on Sina Weibo, China’s main Twitter-like microblogging service.
The cake was a reference to Xinjiang’s famed nut cake, sometimes known by its old Turkic name baklava, a popular pastry across Central Asia and the Middle East. In Xinjiang, they are sold by Uygur vendors（小販）on tricycles who are known to charge dubious prices depending on the time and season.
The ethnic flare-up started after the Yueyang police from Hunan province posted a message on their official Weibo account. It reported a dispute in Pingjiang county over an overpriced piece of nut cake between a Xinjiang Uygur vendor and a villager named "Ling".
Villager Ling got into a fight with a Uygur due to a misunderstanding. The verbal dispute eventually escalated into a fight and then a mass fight. As a result, two people were injured and Xinjiang nut cakes worth about 160,000 yuan (US$25,000) were destroyed. The total damage was worth 200,000 yuan which included a broken motorcycle and injuries to people. Local police have detained（扣留） Ling. The 16 Uygur sellers were dully compensated and sent back to Xinjiang.
"Yueyang police incident" quickly became one of the most popular topics on Weibo. Yueyang police removed the post shortly after. As of Tuesday night, the topic was still amassing more than 66,000 hits.
The incident is just one of many similar cases of ethnic tensions across China, notably in Xinjiang province, where deeply entrenched social and racial frictions between the dominant ethnic Han Chinese and minority Uygur Muslims occasionally spark violence. Many Uygurs living in major Chinese cities are viewed by locals as thieves, crooks and even terrorists.
【小題1】Which of the following is true?
| A．The dispute is between a Xinjiang Uygur vendor and a policeman. |
| B．Nut cake is a popular pastry across East Asia and the Middle East. |
| C．The prices of Baklava will change according to the time and season. |
| D．The demand of the 16 Uygur sellers were refused and they were sent back to Xinjiang. |
| A．160,000 yuan | B．200,000 yuan |
| C．40，000yuan | D．We don’t know |
| A．World's most expensive baklava. |
| B．Ethnic tensions across China. |
| C．Pay attention to the Uygurs |
| D．Misunderstanding caused by a fight |
| A．Yueyang police are afraid of the Xinjiang Uygur vendor |
| B．It’s not the only ethnic tension across China, |
| C．Many Uygurs living in major Chinese cities are viewed by locals as thieves, crooks and even terrorists. |
| D．Villager Ling got into a fight with a Uygur due to a misunderstanding. |
| A．Microblogging. | B．Textbook. |
| C．Newspaper. | D．Article. |

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (偽造簽字者), was as good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he make some money by selling his small but genuine of early U.S. autographs (親筆簽字). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ban Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To make less the chance of detection (發(fā)覺), he sent his forgeries (偽造物) to England and Canada for sale and circulation (銷售).
Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.
In Spring's time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's economic problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eye experts the difficult task of separating this forgeries from the originals.
1.Why did Spring sell his autographs in England and Canada?
A．There was a greater demand there than in America.
B．There was less chance of being detected there.
C．Britain was Spring's birthplace.
D．The price were higher in England and Canada.
2.After the Civil War, there was a great demand in Britain for _______.
A．Southern money
B．signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin
C．Southern manuscripts and letters
D．Civil War battle plans
3.Robert Spring spent 15 years _______.
A．running a bookstore in Philadelphia
B．corresponding with Miss Fanny Jackson
C．a(chǎn)s a forger
D．a(chǎn)s a respectable dealer
4.According to the passage, forgeries are usually sold to _______.
A．sharp-eyed experts B．persons who aren't experts
C．book dealers D．owner of the old books
5.Who was Miss Fanny Jackson?
A．The only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson.
B．A little-known girl who sold her father's papers to Robert Spring.
C．Robert Spring's daughter.
D．An imaginary person created by Spring.

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年四川省資陽市高三第二次高考模擬考試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial (商業(yè)的) world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (學(xué)術(shù)界) outweigh any financial (金錢的) considerations.
Helen Lee took a 70％cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects (前景) of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.
The influence of a salary cut is probably less serious for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a medicine company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual chances.
Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more important, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the change to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential (潛力) in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”
1.By “a one-way street” in Paragraph 1, the author means ______.
|
A．university researchers know little about the commercial world |
|
B．few university professors are willing to do industrial research |
|
C．few industrial scientists would leave to work in a university |
|
D．there is little exchange between industry and academia |
2.The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to “something that ______”.
|
A．helps to move the traffic |
B．a(chǎn)ttracts people’s attention |
|
C．brings someone a financial burden |
D．keeps someone from taking action |
3.What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?
|
A．Less work hours. |
|
B．More freedom to choose research fields. |
|
C．Better prospects of a commercial return. |
|
D．Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. |
4.What can industrial scientists do when they come to teach in a university?
|
A．Make its research more practical. |
|
B．Develop its students’ potential in research. |
|
C．Help it to obtain financial support from industry. |
|
D．Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market. |
