| The terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students. Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the annual (一年一度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated. More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates (毕业生) took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages. Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities. Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 am. After school has finished at 6:30 pm, most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day. "I feel a lot of pressure,but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide my future," Park said. The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200- metre radius (范围) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings. Tooting (吹奏) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours. Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests (口试). There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well- known, but their fees can be 18, 000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again. |
| 1. In South Korean _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. there is only one college B. there is only one top college C. there are only top universities D. there are a number of colleges |
| 2. We can infer that there are almost _____ college places for high school graduates. |
|
[ ] |
| A. 675, 000 B. 507, 520 C. 500, 000 D. 600, 000 |

| You are seeing a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen (特技演员). That is to say, they perform tricks. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian (挪威的) stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls, too. |
| 1. What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman. B. Parachutes must be of good quality. C. The percentage of serious accidents is high. D. The cliff was too high. |
| 2. Stuntmen are those who _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. often dress up as actors B. like to lead dangerous lives C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions D. often fight each other for their lives |
| 3. Stuntmen earn their living by _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. playing their dirty tricks B. selling their special (特别的) skills C. jumping out of high windows D. jumping from fast moving trains |
| 4. When a stuntman falls from a high building, _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. he needs little protection B. he will be covered with a mattress C. his life is in danger D. his safety is generally all right |
| 5. Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness. |

| Today, more and more people are using credit cards (信用卡) instead of money to buy the things they need. Almost anyone who has a steady income (收入) and continuous work record can apply for a credit card. If you have a credit card, you buy a car, eat a dinner, take a trip, and even get a haircut by changing the cost to your account (帐户). You can pay for purchases a month or two later, without any extra charge. Or you may choose to spread out your payments over several months and pay only part of the total amount each month. If you do this, the credit card company of the bank who sponsors the credit card will add a small service charge to your bill. This is very convenient for customers. With the credit card in your wallet or purse, you don't have to carry much cash (现金). This saves your trips to the bank to cash checks. Also if you carry credit cards instead of a lot of cash, you don't have to be concerned about losing your money through carelessness or theft. Credit cards are big business. Americans spend $16 billion a year on cards. Credit card companies make a profit from the fees they charge the store and also from the fees collected from customers who pay for their charges in monthly installments (注册). However, credit card companies sometimes have problems collecting overdue payments from unreliable customers if they charge more than they can pay for. Yet, in many ways, the big loser in the credit card system is not the credit card company, the store, or the card user, but rather the general customer. The store makes up for the fees it pays to the credit card company by increasing prices for goods and services. Stores may have more sales if they accept cards, but the added cost to the store when credit cards are accepted instead of cash is actually passed on to all consumers in higher prices. In this way, the cash customer suffers for the convenience the credit card customer enjoys. |
| 1. According to the passage, nearly everyone can apply for(申请) credit cards if he or she can prove to be ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. a dependable and honest person B. a person with an income and work experience C. a person with work experience but no regular income D. a person with a regular income and an unbroken work record |
| 2. If you are a credit card holder, you don't have to carry _____ on you. |
|
[ ] |
| A. many coins B. much cash C. many credits D. much change |
| 3. We can infer from the passage that _____ suffer most financially from the credit card system. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the shops B. the card holders C. the ordinary customers D. the credit card companies and banks |

| Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard (广告牌) glides (滑行) by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste." "Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!" The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you've traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊险的) as a suspense (悬念) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane (车道)? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you've sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit. |
| 1. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Buses on the road. B. Films on television. C. Advertisements (广告) on the billboards. D. Gas stations. |

|
[ ] |
| A. To give the writer's opinions about long bus trips. B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip. C. To explain how bus trips and television shows are different. D. To describe the billboards along the road. |
| 3. The writer of this passage would probably prefer _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. bus drivers who aren't reckless B. driving alone C. a television set on the bus D. no billboards along the road |
| 4. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses D. neither traveling nor watching TV are not exciting. |

| Robot (机器人) revolution The day that a robot wakes you up, cleans your room and walks your dog might still be a few decades off. But increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to make the leap (跳跃) from the factory floor to your family room. Companies like Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves. On the cover of a recent issue of Scientific American magazine, Bill Gates predicted the "Dawn of the Age of Robots". What's behind this new era (时代)? It's partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond (回应) to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl (爬行) or ride on wheels. They are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more energy efficient. A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day Robert Adler invented the television remote control in the 1950s, people around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get lazier. Also take into consideration the increasing wealth of rich people, the time appears ripe to introduce robots to ease our daily lives. To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still too complex for our present engineering abilities. Today's robot revolution is to make them for everyday use. Robots will do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening, or just help you have more fun on the basketball court. What makes a robot different from an ordinary cleaning machine is not the presence of computer chips (芯片). Nowadays even your microwave has a computer chip. It is the ability to sense and make changes to the environment (环境) in real time. For example, a floor-cleaning robot should be able to sense your scared cat and move out of the way. Today's computing ability is, for the first time, able to make machines that could "think", at least in certain limited ways. |
