When we walk on a street or sit down to have a cup of coffee in a small café in Shanghai, we will often see foreign faces at every turn. Today, foreigners do not come to Shanghai to seek adventures, as they did in the old days, or arrive in the city for a short visit, as some did when China just carried out the opening-up. Instead, many foreigners come to Shanghai to settle in the city. They are attracted by the life in Shanghai and choose to stay in the city. Their stay has made Shanghai more like an international city.
Early in the 1990s, a group of Western-style buildings emerged at the Gubei New District in the southwestern part of the Hongqiao Development Zone in Shanghai. The Western-style buildings, marked by their great arches and the typical flavors of the unique European style, appealed to many foreigners and become their favorite choice when they came to live or work in Shanghai. Foreigners gathered in the zone, enjoying their quiet life there.
As the city further develops, more and more foreigners choose to live in the downtown area where most native Shanghai people live. They live close to local residents and gradually become interated(一体化)into the local life—they learn to cook local dishes, they learn to speak the Shanghai dialect and they celebrate traditional Chinese holidays together with native people. Their lifestyle is becoming more and more similar to that of local residents.
In the past, foreigners that came to Shanghai were mostly representatives(代表)sent to work in the city. Today, however, many foreigners that live in the city are students, business starters or ordinary people. Related information shows that there are more than 50,000 foreigners living and working in Shanghai.

第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题，第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）

第一节，阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Bollworms are a traditional threat to cotton crops．Young ones feed on the boll，the part of the cotton plant that contains the seeds．

A bacterium known as Bt is able to kill bollworms and some other pests．Bt is the short form for Bacillus thuringiensis．It was discovered in the early twentieth century．Farmers began using Bt as a natural pesticide(杀虫剂)．

Then，in the 1990s，researchers found a way to grow cotton plants that contain a Bt gene．The genetically improved cotton plant produces liquid that kills bollworms．Farmers around the world are now growing an estimated fourteen million hectares of Bt cotton．

Cotton bollworms also attack other crops．But scientists in China recently reported that Bt cotton may help prevent bollworm in other crops growing nearby．

The study involved crops grown in six provinces of northern China between 1992 and 2008．The study area contained three million hectares of cotton and twenty-two million hectares of corn，peanuts，soybeans and vegetables．

The researchers say the study suggested that Bt cotton not only controls bollworm on the transgenic cotton，but also may reduce its existence on other crops．And that reduction，they say，may decrease the need for insecticide use in general．

But the researchers also pointed out concerns．They say bollworms could develop resistance to the cotton plants designed to resist them．And they noted that insects called mirids have become “key pests” of cotton in China．They said this is because of a decrease in pesticide use made possible by Bt cotton．

The researchers say they do not believe that Bt cotton alone can solve all insect problems．Instead，they say farmers in China should consider it just one part of pest management systems．

1．What is Bt in this passage?

A．It's a kind of hi-tech invention．                   B．It's a natural bacterium．

C．It's a kind of pest．                        D．It's a man-made pesticide．

2．Bt cotton has all the advantages EXCEPT that ________．

A．it resists bollworms

B．it does good to other crops growing around

C．it reduces the use of insecticide

D．it helps to develop new insects

3．The underlined word “ones” in the first paragraph refers to ________．

A．bollworms          B．cotton crops         C．cotton seeds        D．pests

4．From the passage，we can infer ________．

A．farmers around the world are now growing a large area of Bt cotton

B．researchers are probably now searching for new ways to solve other cotton problems C．bollworms could not exist in Bt cotton any longer

D．Chinese scientists found the way to grow Bt cotton
