12.With fears of a possible nuclear meltdown(核反应堆堆芯的熔毁) in Japan building up,evidence has come to light that the nation received warnings over the stability of its power plants from an international watchdog more than two years ago.
As the Telegraph is reporting,an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in December 2008that safety rules were out of date,and strong earthquakes would cause a"serious problem"for the power stations.
A U.S.embassy document,by quoting(引用)an unnamed expert,states:"He (the IAEA official) explained that safety guides for earthquakes have only been updated three times in the last 35years and that the IAEA is now re-examining them.Also,the presenter noted recent earthquakes in some cases have gone beyond the design basis for some nuclear plants,and that this is a serious problem that is now driving earthquake safety work."
The Telegraph also reports that the government responded to the warnings by building an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant designed to resist magnitude-7.0earthquakes.Friday's earthquake,originally named a magnitude-8.9shock,has since been upgraded to magnitude-9.0.
Other nuclear experts state IAEA officials had willingly ignored lessons from the Chernobyl disaster to protect the nuclear industry's expansion,reports Bloomberg."After Chernobyl,all the force of the nuclear industry was directed to hide this event,for not creating damage to their reputation,"Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreyev tells Reuters,before noting that radiation from spent fuel rods(棒)stored close to reactors at Fukushima looked like an example of putting profit before safety."The Japanese were very greedy,and they used every square inch of the space.But when you have a dense(密集的) placing of spent fuel in the basin,you have a high possibility of fire if the water is removed from the basin."

68.From the passage,we know thatB.
A.people fear that the nuclear meltdown will possibly become more and more serious in Japan
B.people are becoming more and more afraid of a possible nuclear meltdown in Japan
C.Japan made no response to the warnings over the safety of its power plants
D.Iouli Andreyev warned Japan not to store spent fuel rods close to reactors
69.Which of the following is true according to the passage?C
A.Japan was warned of the stability of its power plants when they were built over 2years ago.
B.Safety guides for earthquakes should be updated three times in 35years.
C.The emergency response centre at the Fukushima Daiichi plant can not resist Friday's

The conflict between Gadhafi's government army and the rebels,which broke out in February,has led to  chaosin Libya.In response,the UN Security Council adopted a resolution on March 17calling for a no-fly zone and demanding a ceasefire (停火) in Libya.It was to take"all necessary measures",apart from ground forces,to protect civilians and the areas they live in from armed attacks.A no-fly zone is an area over which aircraft,especially military aircraft,are stopped from flying without permission.

China expressed concern about the conflict and civilian deaths and injuries in Libya.Along with four other of the 15council members-Russia,Germany,India and Brazil-China abstained (弃权) from the vote on the US resolution.Some experts also criticize the use of force against Libya.
Li Qinggong,deputy secretary-general of the China Council for National Security Policy Studies,said the Western powers have started military action because their hopes for political change through rebellion did not come to pass."Now they want to overthrow (颠覆) the Libyan government,"Li said.

9.You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:
"I can't believe it--a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful?And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So,you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo BertoHa clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating.If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too.This is the secret of undercover (暗中进行的)marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18and 34.It is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend,but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice misleading,but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing."
However,one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater?Adverting executives would say it's no less real than an ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

60.The two attractive young women were talking so that they couldB.
A.get the sweater at a lower price        B.be heard by people around
C.be admired by other shoppers            D.decide on buying the sweater
61.Lorenzo Bertolla isD.
A.a very popular male singer            B.an advertising agency
C.a clothing company in Rome            D.the brand name of a sweater
62.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?C
A.The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.
B.The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads.
C.Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.
D.Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.
63.Which of the following would be the best rifle for the text?D
A.Two Attractive Shoppers       B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C.Ways of Advertising           D.Undercover Marketing.

8.BEIJING,January 4,2010 (Xinhua net)-Dubai is set to open the world's tallest building to meet growing numbers of tourists to the Gulf Arab emirate (酋长国),according to media reports Monday.
The tower is being celebrated as a grand feat on the world stage,despite the city state's shaky financial footing.
But the final height of the Burj Dubai-Arabic for Dubai Tower-remains a closely guarded secret.It long ago beat its nearest rival,the Taipei 101,and ranks as the world's tallest structure,Dubai-based architects said.
People walk in front of the Burj Dubai,the world's tallest tower,in Dubai January 3,2010.Started at the height of the economic boom and built by some 12,000laborers,the world's tallest building will open on Monday in Dubai as the emirate seeks to rekindle optimism after its financial crisis.
Some 12,000workers and 100cranes (吊车) have built the hotel,residential and shopping complex which will include over 1,000luxury apartments.The tower alone would cost at least 1billion U.S.dollars to construct,excluding the complex malls,lakes and smaller tower blocs.
"The design has pushed the limits of what technology can achieve,no one has gone that high before.You have to invent new elevators that can sustain such heights,"Naaman Atallah,sales manager for its owner Emaar told.
The Burj's record-seeking developers didn't stop there.The building boasts the most stories and highest occupied floor of any building in the world.Its observation deck-on floor 160-also sets a record.
Designed by a U.S-based consultancy,the tower employs the geometric patterns of Islamic architecture around a base in the form of a six-petalled desert flower.The plans show an ambitious single structure comprising conjoined tube-shaped towers with the kind of space-age look seen in the New Age album covers of 70s progressive rock bands.
Dubai-part of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates-received about 5.4million visitors in 2004,up 9percent from 2003,and that the number is expected to grow three times by the end of the decade.

60.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.Burj Dubai is the second tallest building in the world.

6.Throughout history soldiers have fought bloody battles in order to control the high ground.There is no doubt that this is a tactical (战术的)necessity.Standing above your enemy is an advantage that often leads to victory.
Nowadays,high ground does not just mean hill-tops.It also means space,which has become an increasingly important part of military strategy (军事战略).
With its more advanced satellite technologies,America is the major power in space.And now the US Air Force has put into service a new weapon designed to jam enemy satellite communications.It is an important step toward US control of space.
The so-called Counter Communications System (反卫星通信系统)was declared operational on November 1.The ground-based system uses electromagnetic radio frequencies (无线电磁波)to stop enemy satellites working on a short-term basis.
"A short-term effect ensures that during the time of need,the enemy's space-based capability (能力)is reduced,"said a US military official."Following the time of need,their capabilities can return to its original state."
The system is made up of an antenna (天线),transmitters (发射机)and receivers and can be easily transported around in a vehicle.
To control space was one of four aims of a national space policy started by former president bill Clinton in 1996.The goal is to make sure US forces can rely on space-based services and to deny an enemy any similar benefits.
The US military has experimented with several"anti-satellite"weapons,including lasers,to destroy or damage enemy units.
Theresa Hitchens,vice president of the Centre for Defence Information in Washington,welcomed the new system as long as it does not create rubbish that could threaten global use of space.She believed it should not destroy satellites,only stop them working for a while.
Unfortunately,it seems we are not going to limit our goal for‘space control'to non-violent systems,"she said,raising the danger of a space arms race.
To change the balance of power in space the EU and China are working together on the Galileo project.By 2010the system will be in place as an alternative to the Americans'global positioning service.

71.What's the significance(意义)of the Counter Communications System to the US?B
A.It can help avoid bloody battles.
B.It can bring the US closer to its goal for"space control".
C.It can ensure the US forces to depend on space-based services.
D.It can destroy enemy equipment.
72.How does the new system work?It affects the enemy byD.
A.being transported around easily in a vehicle
B.controlling the high ground
C.damaging them
D.blocking their satellite communications
73.One thing that seemed to worry Theresa Hitchens is that the new weaponD.
A.could increase the danger of a space arms race
B.is not effective enough
C.is not threatening enough
D.might produce dangerous waste
74.What can we infer from the passage?A
A.New space weapons may be on the way.
B.The US military have never stopped experimenting with anti-satellite weapons.
C.The Galileo Project,when in effect,can match the Counter Communications System in power.
D.In future wars,space battles will decide human's fate (命运).
75.The word"short-term"in Paragraph 4means closest toC.
A.reducing capability 
B.effective for a special period of time
C.not lasting long 
D.the time of need.

5.Economists usually study markets.Now,two Americans have won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2009 for not studying markets.They shared almost one and a half million dollars for their analysis of economic governance.This is the study of how economic activity is governed within companies,communities and other groups.
 The winners are Elinor Ostrom of Indiana University in Bloomington and Oliver Williamson of the University of California,Berkeley.The prize in economic sciences has gone to sixty-three men since it was first awarded forty years ago.Elinor Ostrom is the first woman.And,like other winners over the years,her training is not limited to economics.She is a professor of political science and of public and environmental affairs.
 Today,economic theory suggests that good resource management requires ownership,either private or public.If not,as the thinking goes,then self-interest will lead to overuse and destruction of shared resources.Garrett Hardin described this idea in 1986 as"the tragedy of the commons".
 Elinor Ostrom showed how local decision making can reduce the tragedy.Her research has deepened understanding of how people balance their needs with those of others who depend on the same resources.She studied communities,like fanners in Southern California who depended on a common water supply.She documented how people who use resources often develop ways to share them.One example is forest management.
 Oliver WUliamson has studied big companies and found that they often are better than markets at doing complex jobs.Under his theory,businesses act as structures for conflict resolution (解决) For example,companies that own their suppliers can avoid long-term contracts and quarrel over prices.This can make production more efficient and make better use of limited resources.But businesses can also overuse their power.Professor Williamson says the best way to deal with this is not by limiting the size of companies,but through industry regulation.
 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said economists need to do more than study markets and prices.The Nobel judges urged more research like the kind they recognized with this year's award.
68.The two people.who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2009.D
 A.have studied markets for a long time
 B.got a prize of about 1.5 million dollars each
 C.are famous for studying how economic activity is monitored
 D.are well-known for their economic governance in groups
69.Which of the following may Elinor Ostrom agree with?D
 A.Excellent resource management needs both private and public ownership.
 B.Shared resources will be likely to lead to self-interest.
 C.Garrett Hardin's opinion of"the tragedy of the commons".
 D.Local decision is good for people to share resources.
70.In Oliver Williamsion's opinion,big companies.C
 A.can balance people's needs
 B.will lead to overuse of shared resources
 C.will make better use of resources
 D.will make price higher
71.It can be inferred frim the text that.A
 A.not all economic Nobel Prize receivers are good at studying prices
 B.doing complex jobs is a difficult problem for big companies
 C.in the author's opinion,Garrett Hardin's theory is out of date completely
 D.Nobel judges think more research should be done to prove Oliver Williamsin's theory.
