    3．Somewhere on the other side of the world，a small group of workers is busy with a life-or-death struggle．This battle isn't about self-protection，as admirable as that might be． By slaying to face the radiation and Fire at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station following the earthquake and then tsunami（海啸）in Japan，the 50 or so workers may have already shortened their life．They knew that would happen．
    And yet they stay，working in near-total darkness，pumping seawater onto exposed nuclear fuel in hopes that they can prevent thousands of tons of radioactive material going into the air，and protect the health of millions of people．
    Their task sounds like something out of a sci-fi thriller．They worked on the equipment in the complete darkness only by their flashlights，listening for explosions．They carry heavy oxygen tanks on their backs．They wear white，full-body jump suits to protect their bodies．Like Oscar said in"Armageddon"："Scariest environment imaginable．That's all you have to say．"
    According to news reports，some of the 50 workers volunteered to remain behind to take charge of the fire pumps with which they're spraying seawater on the exposed fuel． It's part of the job，part of the training，"an American nuclear power plant operator said．"Nobody makes a secret of the possible dangers at a place like this．If there's a problem，you don't call somebody in to fix it．It's our problem．We're the only ones who can fix it．That's just what we do．"
    I don't know about you，but I've never really thought of nuclear power plant workers as"guardians at the gate"-those whose jobs may at any time place them in a position to protect us，perhaps at the risk of their own lives．
    These are obviously guardians at the gate．In every case they're trained to respond to unknown possibilities．For them，it isn't a matter of courage-it's standard operating procedure．
    61．What do we know from the text？C
    A．The rescue work was admirable．
    B．The accident was successfully handled．
    C．The workers faced a life danger．
    D．The earthquake was the main reason．
    62．The third paragraph is mainly aboutB   
    A．the way they worked                                     
    B．the dangerous environment
    C．Oscar's famous words                                    
    D．the description of a film
    63．According to the author，the 50 workersD   
    A．were ordered by the government                          
    B．were requested by the world
    C．left behind against their own will                      
    D．were performing their duties
    64．The underlined word"you"in Paragraph 5 refers toA   
    A．the 50 workers                      
    B．the readers     
    C．the news reporters                                      
    D．the author
    65．What would be the best title for the text？B
    A．Japan's nuclear accident                                
    B．Guardians at the gate
    C．Saving nuclear power station                            
    D．Using nuclear power safely．

    10．We have seen that pesticides（杀虫剂） now pollute soil，water and food，and that they have the power to make our rivers fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless．Man，however much he may like to pretend the opposite，is part of nature．Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly spread throughout our world？
    We know that even single exposure to these chemicals，if the amount is large enough，can cause extremely severe poisoning．But this is not the major problem．The sudden illness or death of farmers，farm workers and others exposed to enough quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not happen．For the population as a whole，we must pay more attention to the delayed effects of taking in small amounts of the pesticides that unseeably pollute our world．
    Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are increasing in amount over long periods of time，and that the danger to the man may depend on the amount of the exposures received throughout his lifetime．For these very reasons people easily take no notice of the danger．It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a future disaster．"Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs，"says a wise physician，Dr．Rene Dubos，"yet some of their worst enemies slowly come near them unnoticed．"

    62．Which of the following can best summarize the first paragraph of this passage？_C
    A．Man has a responsibility to bear for what has happened to nature．
    B．Possibly man will escape the effects of environmental pollution．
    C．Pesticide-caused pollution may also kill people．
    D．Man acts as if he did not belong to nature．
    63．People do not give enough attention to the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals becauseD．
    A．imited exposure to them does little harm to people's health
    B．the present is more important to them than the future
    C．humans are able to bear small amounts of poisoning
    D．the danger does not become seen clearly and immediately
    64．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？_A
    A．A person exposed to pesticides even once may get seriously poisoned．
    B．Birds are less sensitive to pesticides than humans．
    C．The effects of pesticides on humans do not last as long as on fish．
    D．Taking in small amounts of pesticides will not cause serious results．
    65．We can conclude from what Dr Dubos says thatB．
    A．people usually find hidden diseases difficult to deal with
    B．people fail to notice hidden dangers caused by pesticides
    C．diseases with obvious signs are mostly easy to cure
    D．attacks by hidden enemies are likely to be deadly．

    7．Do we need an"Ivy （常春藤） League"？
    China may soon have its own"Ivy League"，with a union of top universities．
    The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US．The Chinese version，which was officially started in mid-October，consists of nine famous universities，including Peking，Tsinghua，Zhejiang and Fudan．The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs，recognition of academic achievements，and other joint programs．
    The news of this Chinese"Ivy League"has received mixed responses from the public and press．Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully understanding them．Others say that the"Ivy League"is not necessary but that the union is a good idea，one that could promote academic development．
    So what's your opinion on a Chinese"Ivy League"？Do we need one？
    Yes．Ivy League or not，nine of China's best universities cooperating is a good thing．
    1．These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research．It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities．
    2．Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons，improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities．The results could be more important than lessons and achievements．
    3．The term"Ivy League"carries a sense of academic excellence，tradition and reputation．If borrowing such a term could encourage students'and professors'mental state and improve Chinese higher education，then there's no reason not to do it．
    No．Universities should do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an"Ivy League"model．
    1．Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other．If this cooperation were associated with the"Ivy League"，it would just distract （分散） attention and resources and have a negative effect．
    2．These Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government．They're quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn't bring about as much potential ability as between，say，public and private，or Chinese and foreign universities．
    3．China should find its own way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices．We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often don't apply well here．
    Do we need an"Ivy League"？
    Ivy in AmericaIt originally referred to an athletic conference of （71）eight top universities in the
    northeast of America．







    Ivy in China    		FormationNine famous universities

    （72）Purposes of the union     		To exchange students
    To（73）recognize academic achievements
    To work on the joint programs
    （74）Responses   from the public
    Positive side（75）Negative side 
    The cooperation is good for the combination of resources and recreation of （76）a better environment．Attention will be drawn away and （78）resources  will be distracted．
    Students will have less difficulty in finding jobs through the student exchange program．The cooperation won't have great effect because of their （79）similarities  in running universities．
    The cooperation will （77）encourage  the students and professors mentally．China should develop world-class universities in its （80）unique  way without copying foreign countries blindly．

    8．Compassion （同情） is a desire within us to help others．With effort，we can translate compassion into actions．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers，and it's easy to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．
    I couldn't help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry，and the store rules didn't allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job．
    Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．If anything，he looked more pitiable，"Charge it to me，"was all he said．
    What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft，safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed，either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself．I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．

    63．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuitsC．
    A．promised to obey the store rules                     
    B．forgot to take any money with him
    C．hoped to have the food first and pay later      
    D．could not afford anything more expensive
    64．Which of the following best describes the old gentleman？B
    A．kind and lucky                    B．poor and lonely
    C．friendly and helpful              D．wise and disappointed
    65．The writer followed the store rules becauseA．
    A．he wanted to keep his present job
    B．he felt no pity for the old gentleman
    C．he considered the old gentleman dishonest
    D．he expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman
    66．What does the writer learn from his experience？B
    A．Wealth is most important than anything else．
    B．Helping others is easier said than done．
    C．Experience is better gained through practice．
    D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion．
