| Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends. They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers (宿醉) and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happily and relieved, studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin. They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution (溶解). It was worth 5 points. "Cool," they thought, "this is going to be an easy final".

| Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the "Great American Dream." However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s. Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive (有进取心的) way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment (多愁善感): if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics` Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway. |

| Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted (迅速出现) in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million-about 7 percent-are obese. Experts say the obesity epidemic (流行病) is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China's citizens and economy. "We're seeing a very large proportion of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren't moving much," said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight "quite quickly." In just ten years China's childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban areas. "In big cities it's a big problem." Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China's rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. In addition, kids-especially city children-are more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet. Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a part of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer (同龄人) groups influence kids' food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features. China's childhood obesity rate are still less than that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious. |
| 1. According to the passage we know______________. . |
| A. weight-loss camps have been very popular in China a few years ago. B. about 290 million Chinese are overweight in China in all C. in China childhood obesity rate in rural areas is lower than that in major cities D. America's childhood obesity rate is lower than China's |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT the reason of China's childhood obesity? |
| A. Advertising on some new candies B. High quality diets C. Playing computer games for long time D. Having pocket money |
| 3. The underlined word "sedentary" in the third paragraph probably means_____________. |
| A. attentive B. unmoved C. absent D. inactive |
| 4. According to the passage we can infer________________. |
| A. obesity explosion in China will affect the United States B. there are great difference in kids' food choices now C. junk food contributes to childhood obesity D. city children eat more than rural children |
| 5. What's the best title for the passage? |
| A. Chinese Childhood Obesity Explosion B. Weight-loss Camps in China C. Obesity Explosion's Impacts On Chinese Economy D. Obesity Explosion In China And America |

| Recently educators have been questioning "prep school" (=preparatory school) (预科) where barely literate (受过教育的) high school athletes get their transcripts (成绩单) by taking courses occasionally and sometimes by taking no courses at all. The athletes then go on to famous sports universities, where they exhaust their playing years before landing back on the streets without job opportunity or college degrees. The prep school scheme was meant to avoid academic qualification rules for college athletes made years ago by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The N.C.A.A., which was slow to recognize the seriousness of the problem, has finally adopted policies to root it out. But those policies will not do the job unless everyone is involved, including prep schools and college athletics departments that still recruit (招收) students who do not meet academic standard. The prep school scheme sends a dangerous message to poor neighborhoods, where young people too often ignore their studies, believing that they will magically become millionaires once the world sees their athletic talents. Even worse, it encourages students to drop out of traditional schools before graduation-at which point their grade-point averages would be written in stone-to sign up with fake schools that can help them rewrite their academic records. The N.C.A.A. has begun to check nontraditional schools for their academic programs and has actually closed some. The organization has also stepped up to look into athletes' transcripts and will pay special attention to athletes who attended several schools, showed sudden jumps in grade-point average, transferred to another school late in the senior year or took an unbelievable number of courses in one term. These measures are encouraging as far as they go. But the N.C.A.A. will need to go much deeper into the problem if it hopes to break this scheme. For starters, it needs to make clear not just what courses high school athletes need to take to become qualified for college sports, but when they should take them. Until that happens, those who recruit young athletes will always be tempted(受诱惑的)to make fake academic record at the last possible moment for them. |
| 1. About students in "prep school", which of the following facts might NOT be true? |
| A. Most of them are good at different kinds of sports events. B. They can easily be admitted to a university by cheating. C. After they graduate from university, they will usually find promising jobs. D. They seldom have good academic performance at high school. |
| 2. From the passage we can infer that ____________________. |
| A. High school students can change their transcripts by transferring to another school or take a lot of courses in one term. B. Transcripts of high school students can be very important reference for students to go to college. C. Most High school athletes can probably be awarded a bachelor's (学士) or master's degree after they graduate from universities. D. Transcripts of high school students are so important that they are recorded on metal |
| 3. We can conclude from the passage that the problems of prep school scheme might result from__________________. |
| A. young people in poor neighborhoods who tend to ignore their studies B. many prep schools that carry out poor academic programs for high school athletes C. many college athletics departments that still recruit academically unqualified students D. school athletes, poor management of prep schools and irresponsibility of related college departments |
| 4. Having recognized the seriousness of the prep school scheme, the N.C.A.A. has taken all the measures EXCEPT____________________. |
| A. investigating and checking some prep school program B. shutting down some unqualified prep school C. listing compulsory courses and the number of course needed to be taken in high school D. checking some problematic transcripts |
| 5. What might be the author's attitude towards the prep school scheme? |
| A. The writer thinks it a chance for high school athletes to go to college. B. The writer thinks more practical measures are needed to break it. C. The writer remains neutral (中立的) on this issue. D. The writer believes poor children will have little chance to go to college if prep school scheme is broken. |
