    President Barack Obama set out his plans for the nation on January 27. At the top of his to-do list: his jobs for Americans, health care and education.
    “Although we have our difficulties, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not stop,” President Barack Obama told American in his State of the Union speech on January 27. Guests and government officials filled the hall of the House of Representatives (众议院).
    Obama looked back on his first year in office and explained his plan for the future. He dealt with important matters, including health care, the nation’ s high unemployment, national security (安全) and education. Many times during the 70-minute speech, people in the hall clapped (拍手) their hands happily.
    The U.S. law system requires the President to report regularly to government officials. Presidents see the speech as an opportunity to set their goals and encourage the nation.
    The President devoted much of his speech to the plight of unemployed (失业的) Americans. “Jobs must be our Number 1 focus (焦点) in 2010,” he said. “People are out of work. They are hurting.” Obama also stressed the value of education. “The best way for people to lead a better life is a first-class education.” he told the nation.
    Following the President’s speech, the other party always gets the chance to speak. Bob McDonnell, the new governor of Virginia, spoke for Republicans (共和党人). He agreed with many of Obama’s goals, but pointed out policy difference. He tried to persuade both parties to work together. The President had made the same point earlier in the evening. He promised to hold monthly meetings with members of both parties. “Let’s show the American people,” he said, “that we can do it together.”
    小题1:It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that Obama’s speech on January 27 __________.
    was made to explain his plan for the future
    was welcomed by the government officials present
    was given to ask for foreign help
    was actually boring
    小题2:The underlined word “plight” in para. 5 probably means __________.
    A．educationB．safety
    C．goalD．sadness
    小题3:Which of the following things does Obama consider the most important in 2010?
    A．Health care.B．Jobs.
    C．Education.D．National security.
    小题4:We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.
    Republicans don’ t agree with Obama’ s goals
    Obama will try to cooperate with the other party
    Bob McDonnell was not clear about the two parties’ policy differences
    Republicans thought it difficult for the two parties to work together

    The unimaginable earthquake in Haiti has shocked the world. Thanks to modern communication technology, the world has seen the scale of destruction by the 7.0- magnitude quake. Images on TV and the Internet show the Haiti capital has been reduced to rubble and helpless survivors waiting for relief.
    So far, at least 50,000 people are feared dead, and tens of thousands left injured or homeless in one of the poorest countries in the West. The number of dead is rising with each passing hour for a few days. Considering Haiti’s total population is only about 8.5 million, the extent of damage will reach every field of the country’s social structures.
    Rescuers from countries such as China, the United States, France and Dominican Republic have already reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food and medicines, life-detecting devices and other rescue equipment. Politicians，workers and Hollywood actors have opened their wallets and called for donations to help disaster relief. The whole world is ready to help them. The world is a village today where no one can remain indifferent when a neighbor falls in disaster.
    The suffering of people anywhere in the world strikes the hearts of Chinese people. The death of eight Chinese peacekeepers in Haiti has little to do with it. Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because just less than 20 months ago they were struggling to rise from the earthquake.
    Though Beijing and Port-au-Prince have no diplomatic relations, China was among the first nations to send a rescue team and to announce a donation. In the face of natural disasters, respect for human lives overtakes diplomacy and national boundaries. We share the pain of the Haitian people, and we believe China’s experience in rescue and operations and reconstructions will help reduce that pain.
    The most pressing task after a quake is the golden-hour rescue operation. Many Haitians are buried under rubble, and relentless efforts must be made to save as many of them as possible. Yet there remains a question on how effectively the flows of aid from around the world be managed. It is here that the UN can play the leading role, for it should be responsible for common humanitarian efforts from across the globe to reach the benefits to the maximum number of people.
    After the 2004 tsunami killed more than 200,000 people in Asia, some experts said the UN needed to build a well-equipped and trained force disaster rescue specialists and keep it on standby to help people after natural disasters such as the Haiti quake. It is time the UN gave the idea a serious thought, for a life-saving force could play as important as its peacekeeping soldiers.
    60.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A.The number of Haiti’s total population is about 8.5 billion
    B.Rescuers from many countries have reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food, water and medicines.
    C.Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because we have the same experiences.
    D.The flows of aid from the world has been managed well.
    61.The word “indifferent” underlined in the third paragraph most probably means ______.
    A.cruel         B.friendly        C.cold         D.warm
    62. We can infer that people around the world actively help the Haitians because ______.
    A.people among countries have close relations
    B.earthquake is a natural disaster, people respect human lives, and show common feelings to people in trouble
    C.people should be responsible
    D.people have ever been rescued by Haitians
    63.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A.The UN plays an important role
    B.We are with you, Haiti
    C.People share the pain with the Haitian people
    D.Modern communication technology is used widely

    BEIJING — The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead. The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe (调查) into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China’s Shanxi Province. Preliminary（初步的） investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam（未经授权的煤层）, and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity.
    This mine was found to have long ignored the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident.
    How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?
    In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip-offs.
    We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines.
    But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines.
    The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive (连续的)local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were.
    What if these inspections were just a formality(形式)? What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials.
    So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners. A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed
    64. What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?
    A. The workers didn’t operate properly.
    B. The mine didn’t obey the rules to mine for coal.
    C. A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine.
    D. The safety inspections were ineffective.
    65. According to the writer, who should be further investigated?
    A. Mine owners and miners.                B. Miners’ families and mine staff.
    C. Government officials and safety inspectors.  D. The Shanxi governor and miners.
    66. What can we infer from the passage?
    A. More than 105 miners died in the disaster.
    B. Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province.
    C. Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers.
    D. The three inspections were only a formality.
    67. What does the underlined word “tip-offs” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
    A. Some warnings.             B. Some money for one’s service.
    C. Some secret information.     D. Some pieces of advice.

    People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk，the study

    Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other

    more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got

    “Singapore is a wcahhy country with excellent heahhcare．Favorite pastimes(消遣)are
    eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other western countries，”he said．
    But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious．
    “Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of
    cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not。”said Mayne．
    who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for
    Cancer Research．
    Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally．In
