MEGADIM, Israel (AP)-The worst forest fire in Israel's history on Thursday destroyed one of the country's few forested areas, killing at least 36 guards on their way to rescue prisoners there, destroying homes and forcing the evacuation (疏散) of thousands. The fire ran through the Carmel forest in Israel's Galilee, reaching the coastal city of Haifa, jumping from place to place in the forest. The fire broke out around midday and quickly spread and was still burning out of control as midnight approached. Investigators (調(diào)查者) supposed that the fire could have been set accidentally, or it might have been a criminal act, but pretty much ruled out (排除) some sort of attack by a Palestinian group. “This is a huge disaster，” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “The government is using all means to control the fire.” He said some countries such as Cyprus, Italy, Russia and Greece agreed to provide backup. Most of the dead were Prison Service guards racing through the fire toward a prison to evacuate the prisoners, most of them Palestinians. A tree fell across the road, blocking their bus. Some guards were burned alive inside, while others died as they tried to escape. Fourteen bodies were found near the burnt bus 10 hours after the fire started. The fire heavily damaged one of Israel's few large forests, made up of natural growth and planted areas, a favorite place for camping and a home for dozens of species of wildlife. Forestry workers tried to evacuate animals from the fire. The forest recovered slowly from a fire in 1989, but experts said Thursday's big fire was many times worse.
小題1:Some Prison Service guards died when they tried to ________.
A．control the running prisoners B．put out the fierce forest fire
C．get away from the burning busD．save the guards trapped in the fire ．
小題2:According to the investigators, which of the following might be the cause of the fire?
A．Prisoners set the fire purposely.B．The fire broke out all by itself.
C．A Palestinian group did it.D．The fire was started by accident.
小題3:We learn from the text that ________.
A．a(chǎn)ll of the dead were Prison Service guards
B．the forest once suffered a fire in the 1980s
C．the animals didn't suffer from the fire
D．the fire caused 50 deaths altogether ．
小題4:The text is mainly about ________.
A．the worst forest fire in Israel's history
B．the actual cause of the worst ever forest fire
C．the damage caused by the forest fire
D．the government's efforts in controlling the fire

Fans of the British royal family around the world are making plans for April 29th, 2011. That’s the date that Prince William and Catherine Middleton are to tie the knot at Westminster Abbey in London.
A royal wedding is a rare and unique event in Britain so for many it’s something worth celebrating, particularly if you are in the business of making memorabilia (收藏品).
Producers of these souvenirs are wasting no time in manufacturing key rings, mugs, teapots and tea towels, mostly with the faces of the happy couple emblazoned on the front. These are the must buy items that royal followers want to get their hands on.
Some people may argue the royal wedding is a huge public cost but production and sale of memorabilia is good for business. Former politician, Lord Archer, has commented that, “In this age when we are trying to balance the books, the royal family are a great benefit to Great Britain Limited.”
A porcelain-making company, called Royal Crown Derby, is already manufacturing souvenir pottery. Louise Adams from the company says “we started designing, truly, about two years ago.” It is big business for China too, where much of the merchandise that marks the big event is made.
But why are people so keen to get their hands on a commemorative mug, so much so that one British supermarket has already seen them flying off the shelves?
Obviously, we like to remember an event like this and maybe it makes us feel as though we are part of the occasion. However their monetary value is likely to be low. Eric Knowles from the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow claims, “The vast majority of it will be worthless.”
Modern day souvenirs tend to be mass-produced making them cheap and easy to find. However limited edition or high-end items tend to keep their value and could be a better investment for the future.
But there is one thing we can guarantee that won’t be mass-produced and cheap. That’s the wedding dress for Princess Catherine, as Catherine Middleton will be known.
(   ) 小題1:. From the first three paragraphs we can learn that         .
A．many fans of the British royal family will be invited to London on April 29th, 2011
B．Prince William and Catherine Middleton are getting married at Westminster Abbey on April 29th,
2011
C．many fans of the royal family will tie the knot on the same day in London
D．fans of the royal family will join in making souvenirs
(   ) 小題2:.  The obvious feature of the souvenirs mentioned in the passage is that         .
A．they are all tiny and easy to carry
B．some of them are linked with tea
C．a(chǎn)ll of them are marked with dates and pictures
D．most of them display the pictures of the couple
(   ) 小題3:. It can be inferred from the passage that         .
A．the production of souvenirs has begun long before the big event
B．the sale of souvenirs has not begun yet
C．people buy souvenirs mainly for their monetary value
D．production of souvenirs has little profit
(   ) 小題4:.  Which of the following is a better investment according to the passage?
A．Souvenirs that fly off the shelves.B．Best-selling souvenirs
C．Mass-produced souvenirs.D．Souvenirs released limitedly.
(   ) 小題5:.  What’s the writer’s attitude towards producing and selling souvenirs?
A．Supportive.B．Negative.C．Uninterested.D．Indifferent.

Visitors were still paying 20 yuan to hug Lele and have their photos taken yesterday despite a ban that forbids any such sontact with a wild animal. The ban was introduced more than a week ago.
“The city zoo broke the law and should be prohibited,” said an official at the State Forestry Administration.
The administration notice last Monday clearly bans contact with wild or captive animals, the abuse of wild or captive animals for performance purposes and any improper business related to wild animal products.
“Close contact with the chimp is the only bit that breaks the ban and we will end that soon,” said Beijing Zoo spokeswoman Ye Minxia yesterday.
“The chimpanzee performance can’t stopped overnight as we have a contract with a company scheduled to terminate at the end of this year,” she said.
“The zoo is negotiating with the company in the hope of terminating it sooner,” Ye said. She refused to answer directly whether the chimp photo sessions were still ongoing yesterday, instead, saying. “It’s very likely we will cancel it tomorrow.”
Zoo staff confirmed photos were taken yesterday, one employee saying 2-year-old Lele “works” form 10am to 3pm daily, according to the Leagl Mirror.
Such activities not only damage the mental and physical health of the animals, but also risk the safety of visitors, according to the official website of the State Forestry Administration where the notice was released.
“A pet male chimpanzee bit and attacked 55-year-old Chala Nash, causing serious injuries to her face, neck and hands at her friend’s home in Stamfor, Connecticut on February 16th last year,” CNN reported. The friend, Sandra Herold, called the police, who shot 14-year-old Travis many times after he also attacked an officer.”
“Putting a blue T-shirt on a wild animal and training it to bare its teeth and parade for visitors might not enhance that already-troubled image of Chinese animal protection,” the State Forestry official warned. “Some zoos even hit animals and promote themselves with commercials involving animal abuse, ” he said.
“Too much focus on the profits too often results in improper treatment of animals, contributing to their early and unnatural deaths,” the notice stated.
小題1:Where can people most probably find the article?
A．In research reports.B．In newspapers.
C．In science fictions.D．In book reviews.
小題2:What do we learn about Lele?
A．It’s used to make money.B．It is hit by the people.
C．It attacked its owners.D．It died unnaturally.
小題3:What would be the best title of the article?
A．Zoos Disobey National BanB．Profit-making Zoos
C．Animals in DangerD．Animal Abuse

Following the nuclear at the Fukushima (福島) nuclear power station in Japan, Germany has decided to abandon the use of nuclear energy sooner than it had planned.
Germany was planning to cut its use of nuclear power slowly over 25 years. But now, the government has speeded up its program. Germany’s government has said that seven of its 17 nuclear reactors (反應堆) will stop working for three months for safety checks.
Nuclear power has been very unpopular in Germany since the Chernobyl (切爾諾貝利) nuclear reactor disaster in Ukraine (烏克蘭) in 1986. Since then, the country has been working on developing new resources of energy.
The plan to give up nuclear power will cost the country at least 150 billion euros (1.4 trillion yuan)) in investment. Experts say this will likely lead to a rise in electricity prices.
Some experts think Germany is setting a good example for countries such as the US to follow. Germany now gets 23 percent of its energy from nuclear power –about as much as the US.
However, France, which relies on nuclear energy for more than 70 percent of its power, shows no sign of changing its policy.
小題1:
We can most probably read the article _______. 
A．in a newspaper B．in a pamphlet(小冊子)
C．in an advertisementD．in a textbook
小題2:
The most appropriate heading for this article is _______.
A．Germany to develop its new resources of energy
B．Nuclear power no longer popular in Germany
C．Germany to have safety checks for some nuclear reactors
D．Germany to end its nuclear energy program
小題3:
According to the article, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT______.
A．In both the US and Germany, approximately a quarter of their energy are from nuclear power now.
B．The explosion of some Fukushima nuclear reactors has quickened Germany’s pace to abandon nuclear energy.
C．France, which relies on nuclear energy for more than 70 percent of its power, will follow Germany and cut its use of it at any cost.
D．The Chernobyl nuclear disaster seemingly cast a huge shadow over the Germans, making them increasingly suspicious of the safety of nuclear energy.

ARLANDA, Sweden （Reuters Life!）—Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it.
Dios says it is the world’s first jumbo （unusually large） jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at Sweden’s main airport outside Stockholm which has been changed into a 25- room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.
“I learned about this plane that was standing deserted at Arlanda airport and I’ve been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings,” he told Reuters. “I thought, ‘Why not a plane?’”
Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as comfortable.”
“The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull（殼） – it’s just really, really tight.”
The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. It is held on a concrete foundation with the landing gear secured in steel cradles.
One feature of the hostel is its price – a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns （about $ 41）, which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports.
Another feature is that customers can get married on the wing of the plane and stay in the plane’s more luxurious honeymoon suite （套房）.
Instead of walking down the aisle in the church, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the “wing walk,” where they can be joined in great happiness at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.
But in some respects this hostel remains a plane – most customers have to share the jet’s nine bathrooms and the staff only wear air host and hostess outfits. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.
小題1:Which of the following is not true?
A．The jet plane was out of use for over eight years
B．The hostel provides ten bathrooms for customers
C．The rooms in the hotel are comfortable
D．The hostel lies at Arlanda airport in Stockholm
小題2:One of the features of the plane hostel is that         .
A．a(chǎn)ir hostesses can offer good service
B．a(chǎn) wedding ceremony can be held on the wing
C．customers can sleep in comfortable rooms
D．the staff can have a “wing walk”
小題3: Why does Oscar Dios make jet plane hotel?
A．Because he is fond of plane very much.
B．Because he is very curious
C．Because he wants to earn more money.
D．Because he likes trying the concept of hotel in many different things.
小題4:The writer mainly wants to          .
A．call on people to make use of the deserted things
B．describe a wonderful place for weddings
C．introduce a new kind of hostel
D．prove people can sleep on a plane

China launched its fifth Beidou orbiter into space on Sunday morning, moving it one step closer to its goal of building a navigation(導航) and positioning satellite network.
The Beidou, or Compass, system is being built to rival the US-developed GPS, the European Union's Galileo and Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System. It can allow travelers, drivers and military officials to know their locations.
The fifth orbiter was launched on top of a Long March 3A carrier rocket at 5:30 am on Sunday from Xichang of Southwest China's Sichuan province.
It is the third Compass satellite launched this year, following launches on Jan 17 and June 2.
The short interval of less than two months since the last launch demonstrated that "the country is stepping into a busy period of launching the Compass satellites", an unnamed official in charge of the project said last month.
The first two orbiters were launched in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
Sun Jiadong, the Beidou program's chief designer, said on June 21 in a TV interview that China would launch 13 to 15 Beidou navigation satellites into orbit by 2012 to form a network that provides regional service covering the neighboring areas.
And in about 10 years, the network would be expanded to include more than 30 satellites covering the globe, he said.
The system is a crucial part of the country's space infrastructure for providing navigation and positioning services in transportation, meteorology, petroleum prospecting, forest fire monitoring, disaster forecasting, telecommunications and public security.
In addition, a global positioning system is crucial to any country's national security and defense, said Ran Chengqi, an official in charge of the program, referring to the fact that the US initially built its GPS system for military purposes.
It is unimaginable for China to go without such a system, he said.
Earlier reports cited（引用） Song Xiaojun, a Beijing-based military expert, as saying that 90 percent of the world's current weapons systems need a global positioning system.
小題1:This news report was probably released           .
A．in January, 2010B．in June, 2010C．in July, 2010D．in August, 2010
小題2:The Compass System is expected to finally cover     in the future.
A．ChinaB．China and its neigh boring areas
C．Asia, Europe and OceaniaD．the earth
小題3:At the very beginning, the GPS system was built to help      .
A．military officers to judge their locationsB．travelers to know their locations
C．drivers to reach their destinations easilyD．hunters to find wild animals smoothly
