    China news, Beijing, June 5 — The Horizon Research Group conducted a survey about Chinese parents and their children in May last year and this year. Based on a random sampling method, the survey, done in May last year, investigated about 1,095 people living in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, Jinzhong, and Luzhou. All these people were aged between 18 and 60. The survey shows that 55.5% of the parents did not know who their children’s best friends were. Fathers, in particular, knew even less about their children than mothers, as the survey shows only 33.8% of fathers knew who their children’s best friends were while 50.8% of mothers did so, China Youth Daily reported.

    Parents with little education were less concerned with their children’s life, or whom their children played with. The survey shows that among parents that graduated from primary schools or without any educational background, only 33.1% knew who their children’s best friends were. Among parents that had received middle school education, the related proportion reached 45.5%.

    This year’s survey was also based on random sampling. In May 2007, the Horizon Research Group investigated some 1,456 families in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Xi’an, Chengdu and Harbin. The survey shows that children under the age of 12 play for less time with their playmates than their parents did when they were young.

    The survey also shows that most children at present spend only 21.9% of their time playing with their friends, while their parents spent 36.8% of their time with their playmates when they were young. Nowadays, most children spend more time with their grandparents or babysitters than with their parents.

    1.The article tells us that the two surveys show the following aspects EXCEPT that ______.

    A. parents at present spend less time playing with their children than with the older generation.

    B. some parents do not know their children’s best friends.

    C. educated parents are more concerned about their children’s life than those with little education.

    D. parents at present are concerned little about their children’s life.

    2.The passage can be found in _________.

    A. a magazine B. a newspaper

    C. a science journal D. a school book

    3.What can be inferred from the passage?

    A. Parents need to take their responsibilities for their children.

    B. Parents should provide better conditions for their children.

    C. Parents don’t play an important part in the growth of their children now.

    D. Parents should let their children have more friends.

    Matthew Henson—Arctic Explorer

    In 1880，fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea．The travel，the adventure，the danger，and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson．One day，he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds．For the next five years，Henson sailed around the world．With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew，Henson learned mathematics，navigation，history，geography，and many other subjects．By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885，Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman．

    Unable to find work anywhere else，Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington，D．C．One day in 1887，a man came in to buy a hat．The man，Robert Peary，asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea．Peary would soon travel to South America for the U．S．government．He needed experienced men to accompany him．The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean journeys，so he introduced Peary to Henson．

    Using his map-reading and sailing skills，Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman．Peary soon made Henson his assistant，and they became close friends．One day Peary told Henson about his real dream：to be the first man to stand on“the top of the world”at the North Pole．He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true．Over the next five years，the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic．However，they were not able to reach the pole either time．The cold，wind，and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined．

    In 1908，Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole．Both men were over forty years old．The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot．This would be their last chance．With four Inuit guides，they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole．Peary’s feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled．In April 1909，Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole．Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow．

    In later years，Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements．Today，the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery．

    Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

    UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.

    Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

    Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

    “We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

    1.What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

    B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection

    C. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think

    D. Trees Contribute To Our Society

    2.In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .

    A. depend on each other

    B. protect their own wealth

    C. compete for survival

    D. provide support for dying trees

    3.We can learn from the passage that

    A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.

    B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.

    C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.

    D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.

    4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .

    A. how trees grow old

    B. how “tree societies” work

    C. how forestry industry develops

    D. how young trees survive

    Perhaps drawing inspiration from Spiderman, beachgoers in China' s eastern city of Qingdao have come up with a new way of protecting their skin from the sun. They call it the "face-kini". It was first sported by middle-aged women as a practical addition to their swimsuits, but now the face-kini has gone global.

    New York-based style magazine CR Fashion Book, founded by former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, recently published a photo shoot of models with pouting(撅起的) red lips, wearing face-kinis, chic swimsuits and fancy jewellery .

    The transformation of what' s considered the symbol of "old woman style" in China to high fashion has amused Internet users. In two days, the subject was widely spread on the Chinese Twitter, Weibo.

    "Chinese old women are at the centre of the global fashion world," said one comment. "It looks like bank robbers attacking the beach," others joked.

    When it comes to avoiding the sun, it seems Chinese creativity is unlimited. Apart from the face-kini, the Chinese use special UV-blocking sun umbrellas which can be attached to bike handles.

    There are also sun- blocking removable sleeves and Batman- style capes. The list goes on. On Chinese television, commercials for magic whitening creams are everywhere. White is seen as beautiful here, or as the old Chinese saying goes: "One touch of white covers 100 kinds of ugliness."

    It' s a curious contrast to the fact that people in many western countries pay for tanning(晒黑).

    Tanning salons are just now starting to take off in big Chinese cities, where western influences are deeper.

    Liu Yupu, or "China tanning boss" as he goes by on Weibo, took the sudden popularity of face- kinis with a pinch of salt. He said: "These days, if you had just been to a tanning salon in China. Your parents and close friends may call you an idiot, but you'll also get plenty of praise." But can a beautifully-tanned woman turn as many heads as the face-kini on the Qingdao beach?

    1. The "face-kini" has been worn in Qingdao - '

    A. for quite a long time

    B. first by beachgoers

    C. to prevent swimmers drowning

    D. in honor of the movie Spiderman

    2.According to the passage, the new invention "face-kini" is now considered as____.

    A. whitening cream B. an old woman style

    C. a beautiful swimsuit D. high fashion

    3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?

    A. Tanning is more popular in Western countries.

    B. White is seen as more beautiful in China

    C. The face-kini books less cool than a beautifully-tanned woman

    D. Tanning will not get. popular in China

    4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?

    A. Keeping your skin. Fair

    B. The changing fashion in Qingdao

    C. Protecting fair skin with "face-kini"

    D. New attitudes towards beauty

    Music for Humans and Humpback Whales As researchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected.

    In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to show that music-making is at once an original human "business", and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.

    The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound．Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.

    For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms (节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length—a few seconds．Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly．They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music．They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form．

    Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme．"This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material," the researchers write.

    1.The underlined words "converge on" in Paragraph 3 probably means__________.

    A．tend towards

    B．refer to

    C．turn into

    D．put forward

    2.Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?

    A．They can remember complex material.

    B．They can create pleasing patterns of music.

    C．They can make sounds like drums continuously.

    D．They can sing along with rhythms of western music.

    3.What is the main idea of the article?

    A．Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.

    B．Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.

    C．Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.

    D．Music-making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals.

    4.The main purpose of the passage is to __________.

    A．argue and discuss

    B．inform and explain

    C．compare and advertise

    D．examine and assess
