D
In China, some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That is a good idea. Yes, the fact is that some people do nothing but break the whole programme.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(無知). Then the host has to answer and explain ---how silly it is! It wastes a lot of time.
It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They do not care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in the topic or how silly they appear to be.
It is necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
47. The underlined sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole programme” may tell us that _____
A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way
B. there are problems to solve in the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations
C. the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations is a good idea
D. some people have unclear thoughts
48. The underlined word“operator” in the last paragraph refers to_____
A. 話務(wù)員        B. 聽眾        C. 醫(yī)生         D. 主持人

In a memory – based competition between you and a chimp (猩猩); who do you think would win? If you put yourself on top, you might want to guess again.
In a test that challenged participants to remember numbers, a young chimp performed better than Japanese college students.
Here's how the test worked. At Kyoto University in Japan, human students and chimpanzee participants sat in front of a computer. Five numbers, ranging from 1 to 9, were combined with one another and then, they appeared at random places on the screen.
The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second. In the first test, for example, participants saw the numbers for 650 milliseconds (about two- thirds of a second).
Then, each number disappeared and they saw a white square instead. Participants had to touch the squares in numerical order, based on the numbers that had been there a moment before.
In this test, the students touched the boxes in the correct order about 80 percent of the time. A young chimp named Ayumu performed equally well.
During a harder test, participants were only able to see the numbers for 210 milliseconds.
This time, students only succeeded in putting the boxes in the correct order about 40 percent of the time. But Ayumustill could select the boxes in the right order nearly 80 percent of the time.    
Some people have what's called a "photographic memory", which allows them to remember a surprising number of details after just a quick glimpse of something. Ayumu's memory might work in a similar way, says lead researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa.
The chimp's young age might have something to do with his impressive performance, too. In previous tests, the Japanese researchers found that young chimps performed better than their mothers.
The scientists are interested to see whether Ayumu loses his strong memory as he arrows older. They already know that young children sometimes have sharp memories when offered something photographical, but they lose this ability over time.
Topic
A (76)        competition between human beings and chimps
Purpose
To judge whose memory is better
The (77)     
of the first test
◆A chimp and some Japanese students participated in the competition and sat before a computer.
◆Different (78)          of five numbers appeared on the screen.
◆Each of the number was (79)         by a white square.
The results of the second test
◆Students (80)         to put the boxes in the right order about 40% of the time.
◆Ayumu got the right order (81)        the time of the students
Conclusion

◆The chimps have the similar (84)        to human beings’.
◆Young children, just like chimps, have strong memory but they’ll lose it when they (85)           .

Bored by the Chinese courses he was majoring in, Zuo Cheng, 18, couldn't imagine having to drag himself into class day after day, week after week, for four years. The Beijing Language and Culture University student decided that enough was enough. After rounds of examinations and interviews, he managed to transfer (轉(zhuǎn)移) to the Department of International Accounting.
"It may seem like I've wasted a year and have to start college all over again, but now that I've settled on a field, I'll be able to concentrate." Zuo said. Zuo is not alone.
At the China Three Gorges University in Yichang in Hubei province 53 out of 59 students in the Physics Department took transfer exams last term. Unfortunately only 22 of them got a place on another major.
Jiang Xin, 20, who was able to switch to electrical engineering and automation from physics, said that physics graduates had few other choices besides going into teaching. He added that a career in education just didn't suit him.
"I should have better job prospects (前景) and the chance to earn more money once I graduate," Jiang said. Many first year college students find their majors uninteresting.
However, Shao Yanfang, who works at the admissions office of a university, advised students to consider both short-term and long-term goals. "After graduation do you want to find yourself in a job very specifically related to your college major? Or, would you like to possess the knowledge and skills that will enable you to work in many areas? These are the questions students need to consider. Above all, your choice of major should be based on your own interests, abilities and personality," Shao said.
1. After Zuo Cheng managed to transfer the collage major, he felt________.
A. sad          B. happy               C. nervous           D. pitiful
2. Which of the following statements is true?
A. A lot of students are not accustomed to the life on campus.
B. Students who attend university want to earn more money.
C. Students can change their major based on their interests.

3. In the passage, Paragraph 3 functions as ________.
A. an example        B. an introduction   C. a conclusion        D. an explanation
4. According to Shao Yanfang, students are supposed to think about ________ when changing majors.
A. present knowledge and skills              B. short-term and long-term goals
C. future earnings and jobs                  D. relationship between friends
5. The text is written mainly for those ________.
A. Company managers                     B. Job hunters

Ⅳ.閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土話)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(車道), and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan (about US $700).
The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief(擺脫貧困)projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
B.The increasing awareness of environmental protection.
C.New trends of life in China’s big cities.
D.The lifestyle of green collars.
2.Green collars are living green because_______.
A.they have a large income to use
B.they refuse to live an unhealthy life
C.they spend a lot of money and time in the open
D.they devote themselves to environmental protection
3.Green collars will_______after work.
A.prefer to be left alone
B.have fun with old friends
C.think nothing about work and more
D.do a lot of extra work at home
4.What ’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
A.Appreciative.   B.Doubtful.  C.Negative.  D.Neutral.
5.The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are_______.
A.in heavy polluted areas   B.in faraway places
C.in a poor state of education     D.in unfavourable conditions

The tricks claimed this was a “brand new revolutionary cure for the overweight”,and it was “the first and only cholcolate that burns off fat”. Thousands were persuaded to pay £ 37 for a 40-day supply.
