    Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones（手机铃声）of cows mooing, goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards （豹）that have wandered into human settlements, officials said on Monday.
    The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people. But rather than use methods such as live bait（活诱饵）like goats tied to trees to lure (引诱) the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.
    “The moos of a cow, and bleating of a goat from the phone have proved effective to trap leopards,” said D. Vasani, a senior forest official in Gujarat. “This trick works.” Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage. They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal.
    At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago. The cats have all been released （释放）back into forest areas.
    Wildlife activists welcomed the new initiative (新方案) saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured.
    小题1:What can be the best title of the passage?
    A．Cell Phones to Hunt AnimalsB．Practical Uses of Cell Phones
    C．Wildlife And New TechnologyD．Phone Ringtones to Catch Leopards
    小题2:Forest guards in India try to catch leopards mainly because _______.

    小题3:According to the wildlife activists, the new method is _______.
    A．appreciated because it benefits leopardsB．not good because it may injure animals
    C．effective because ringtones workD．not safer than the former one
    小题4:We can learn from the passage except that _______.
    A．forest guards don’t mean to hurt the leopards
    B．forest guards no longer use pits to trap leopards
    C．forest guards used goats to attract leopards
    D．recorded animal sound are used to lure leopards

    试题分析：本文介绍了在印度人们使用手机铃声来吸引那些进入人类聚居地的猎豹，并进行抓捕的事情。
    小题1:D 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知人们运用电话的铃声模仿羊的叫声，牛的叫声来吸引进入人的聚居地的猎豹。故D项正确。
    小题2:A 细节题。根据第二段1,2行The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food, say officials, adding that this results in attacks on people.可知这样做的原因是猎豹进入了人类的聚居区，并且攻击了人类，所以才用这种方法把猎豹吸引做开并抓捕。故A项正确。
    小题3:C 细节题。根据3,4段“This trick works.”和At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages说明这种方法有了很好的效果，有多只猎豹被吸引过来寻找容易捕捉的动物了，故C正确。
    小题4:B 推理题。根据文章第二段最后三行But rather than use methods such as live bait（活诱饵）like goats tied to trees to lure (引诱) the leopards, which then fall into large pits dug by guards, officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats.只是说明人们现在换了方式，并没有说人们不再使用oit这种方法，故B项内容的陈述不准确。
    小题5:D 细节题。根据第一段和第3段behind a cage.以及Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones（手机铃声）of cows mooing说明D项正确。
    点评：本文介绍了在印度人们使用手机铃声来吸引那些进入人类聚居地的猎豹，并进行抓捕的事情。本文以细节题的考查为主，要求考生在阅读的时候要注意细节信息，同时在仔细阅读题目要求和选项内容的基础之上在文章中找到相关的语群，并作出合理的判断和选择。

    Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment, one that will require thousands of first-time offenders—whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit—to install in their cars blood- alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition. The devices work like this—A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car’s ignition. If the result is higher than the legal limit, the car will not start. The device also requires random “rolling retests” once the driver is on the road.
    Virginia’s current law requires only repeated offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their cars.
    The new law, which takes effect in July, will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times, and offenders will have to pay about $ 480 for a typical six-month installation.
    The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders. Such groups as Mother Against Drunken Driving and The Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia’s 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving. Ignition interlock devices, they say, reduce repeat offenses. But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit 0.08, and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.
    Del. Sal R. Iaquinto, who sponsored the bill, had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devises: “How much does a life cost?” “Blowing into a tube for six months, you will remember that,” Iaquinto said, “And you’re not likely to offend again.”
    小题1:The underlined word “ignition” in Paragraph 1probably refers to the part in a car where ___________.
    A．the alarm goes offB．the engine startsC．the door opensD．the car is fueled
    小题2:Who are required to install the blood alcohol devices according to the current law?
    A．The first time drunken-driving offenders.
    B．The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees.
    C．The repeat drunken-driving offenders.
    D．Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15.
    小题3:The reason why some defenders and lawyers oppose the new law is that ____________.
    A．fewer cases go to trial
    B．lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
    C．interlock devices increase repeat offenses
    D．the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders
    小题4:The debate aroused by the measure implies that ___________.
    A．prevention is better than cureB．no law is absolutely perfect
    C．punishment is the key to allD．justice has long arms
    小题5:What is Del. Sal R. Iaquinto’s attitude towards the new law?
    A．Negative.B．Indifferent.C．flexible.D．workable.

    TOKYO - Japan is considering plans to calm tensions（紧张）with China by acknowledging(承认) Chinese claims to the disputed islands in the East China Sea, while maintaining its own position, Kyodo News cited sources as saying on Tuesday.

    Q: What are your great memories?

    When doctors urge overweight kids to pick up more activities，reading probably isn’t what they have in mind.    Yet a new study by fatness researchers at Duke University finds that the simple act of reading—depending on the choice of material—can cause weight loss in teenage girls.
    The study’s experimental group included 31 fat girls aged 9 to 13，who took part in the Healthy Lifestyles Program at Duke Children’s Hospital. The girls read a novel called Lake Rescue，whose protagonist (主人公) is an overweight teenager who struggles with low self­esteem，feelings of loneliness and teasing because of her size. A group of 33 girls read a different book called Charlotte in Paris，which did not have an overweight character，and another group of 17 girls read neither book.
    At the end of the six­month experiment，all the girls who read books had lost weight，but the girls who read Lake Rescue lost more. They lowered their body mass index (BMI) by 0.71，compared with 0.33 in the Charlotte group，an average 0.05 increase among the nonreaders.
    The idea behind the study，says Dr Sarah Armstrong，director of Healthy Lifestyles，was to find a way to encourage the girls without adopting the restrictive and often authoritative voice of so many other nutrition and diet programs. Lake Rescue was the perfect instrument，says Armstrong；it presents a likable character to whom the girls could relate and whom they could learn from. As the book progresses，its protagonist learns to make healthier lifestyle choices and finds an adviser to help keep her on track. Armstrong says，“She learns that she can become healthier，and the ‘I can do it’ feeling resonates (产生共鸣) with the teenage girls.”
    小题1:What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．There are different ways to help overweight kids lose weight.
    B．Lifestyle is important for kids.
    C．Lake Rescue is the perfect weight­losing instrument.
    D．Reading can help kids lose weight.
    小题2:How many girls took part in the experiment?
    A．31.B．33.C．64.D．81.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “She” in the last paragraph refer to?
    A．Armstrong.B．The protagonist in Lake Rescue.
    C．A character in Charlotte in Paris.D．A girl in the first group.
    小题4:According to the passage we can know that ________.
    A．overweight girls are living unhappily
    B．reading is the best way to lose weight
    C．different reading materials play different roles in losing weight
    D．people will become fat if they don’t read
    小题5:In which part of a newspaper can we read the above passage?
    A．Education.B．Entertainment.C．Health.D．Advertisement.

    Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia found.
    Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
    “We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia. They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
    “No matter how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.
    Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000. “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
    They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
    “These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations-as little as $5 may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.
    小题1:What is the general idea of the passage?
    A．The more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.
    B．Spending more money on yourself will make you happier.
    C．Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.
    D．You can spend only $5 a day on someone else to get happiness.
    小题2:The underlined work “boost” in the first paragraph probably means      .
    A．help to findB．help to increaseC．help to bringD．help to get
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.
    B．People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.
    C．Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.
    D．Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.
    小题4:Dunn is       .
    A．a reporter in a journalB．a volunteer in the experiment
    C．an employee in a companyD．a psychologist at a university
    小题5:It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that      .
    A．the volunteers not given $5 or $20 spent their own money on themselves
    B．those who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about it
    C．the volunteers were given $5 or $20 as a reward for the experiment
    D．half of the volunteers could spend the money as they liked

    Four out of ten women who diet end up heavier than when they started watching their waistline, a study revealed today. The research also showed that a large percentage of women start noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight.
    Yesterday, Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig weight management program said, ‘In the UK 61.4 percent of adults are overweight or obese. Successful weight management requires a long-term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. Otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started.’
    The “Food, Body, Mind” report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss. Six in ten said they were currently on a diet and one in five women said they were on a continuous diet.
    It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their reflection in the mirror,  preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites. Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.
    However, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week or more. The average is ten days. Many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal. Others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers’ polishing off（吃光）their children's leftovers was another common cause of weight gain.
    小题1:Which of the following might be the best title for this article?
    A．Diet: a tricky path to weight loss
    B．Important things for successful diet
    C．Four in ten women gain weight on diets
    D．Obesity: problem for 61.4% adults in UK
    小题2:In the UK, women who go on a diet ________. 
    A．are all overweight or obese
    B．all fail because they are not persistent enough
    C．are likely to gain weight again after reaching their ideal weight
    D．end up heavier than when they start to diet
    小题3:The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
    A．effectsB．causesC．examplesD．imagination
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT the reason why many people stop dieting very soon?
    A．The pressure they put on themselves to lose weight quickly.
    B．Colleagues who give them fatty lunches and snacks.
    C．Leftovers of children’s taken by their mothers.
    D．Reflections they see in the mirror.

                            B
    Play is the basic business of childhood, and more and more in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being．From earliest infancy （婴儿）, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys．The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and assist play．To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again．Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.
    In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life．So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated．A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully．
    The next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds．Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others．
    By the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years old— the child is at school．But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school．It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys．
    Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child．But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning．Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed —to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
    小题1:60. The writer wants us to understand that a child_______.
    A．cannot grow up without toysB．matures through play
    C．uses toys as friendsD．has to be taught how to play
    小题2:61. According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents ________.
    A．determine his character
    B．will not change after the age of three
    C．partly determine the standard he is likely to reach
    D．to a large extent determine the choice of toys
    小题3:62. The passage tells us that children are the most curious when they are about______.
    A．two years oldB．one year old
    C．six years oldD．four years old
    小题4:63. The article is about_______.
    A．the importance of playB．the importance of books
    C．the relationship between play and workD．children’s speech development
