         The Chinese word" Shanzhai" means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name
    for fakes(假货) after" Shanzhai cell phones " produced by small workshops in southern China, became
    popular in the mainland market over the past few years. 
         Besides" Shanzhai" electronic products, there are "Shanzhai" movies,  "Shanzhai" stars and even a
    "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on
    Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve.
         "Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, symbolizing anything that imitates something famous.
         The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat.
    In southwestern China's Chongqing Municipality, a "Shanzhai"-version"Bird's Nest" woven by farmers
    with bamboo attracts wide attention and the "Shanzhai"-version "Water Cube" is popular with tourists
    too. Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.
    Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the "Shanzhai" Gala as an example, when the traditional
    CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the "Shanzhai" version appears naturally
    to attract people.
         "In spite of its poor techniques and operation, "Shanzhai" culture meets the psychological demands of
    common people and could be a comfort to their minds," Xie said.
         Tian Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that "Shanzhai" culture never copies
    classic things, only trendy products. In that sense, it's like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning.
         Though controversial, "Shanzhai" culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon.
         "To the mainstream culture, the rise of "Shanzhai" culture is a challenge as well as a motivation," said
    Xie.
         Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to
    choose.
    1. The Chinese word "Shanzhai" may have its origin in          .
    A. fake cell phones
    B. electronic products
    C. Spring Festival Gala
    D. Olympics buildings
    2. The underlined word" imitates" is closest in meaning to         .
    A. steals
    B. copies
    C. advertises
    D. cheats
    3. According to the passage,"Shanzhai" culture refers to          .
    A .the action that a person imitates famous people
    B. anything that imitates something famous
    C. those similar names to famous brands
    D. products with poor techniques and quality
    4. We can infer that the mainstream culture          .
    A. will be held back by "Shanzhai" culture
    B. will sooner or later be replaced by "Shanzhai" culture
    C. may develop faster because of the challenging of "Shanzhai" culture
    D. thinks nothing of the challenge of" Shanzhai" culture
    5. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
    A. "Shanzhai" culture will definitely fade out
    B. "Shanzhai" culture-the mountain village culture
    C. "Shanzhai" culture-the mainstream culture
    D. "Shanzhai" culture takes on life of its own

         Sandstorms hit northwestern China's Gansu Province and North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on the first day this year. According to Sun Landong, a meteorologist with the Lanzhou
    Meteorology Observatory, visibility was less than 100 meters in Minqin, a Gansu county near Inner
    Mongolia, because of sand. When visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer, it is called a sandstorm. The
    sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns, such as Baiyin, Wuwei, Jinchang and Lanzhou,
    the capital city of Gansu Province. Dust-laden winds also swept into Beijing. Brought by northwesterly
    blowing at more than 20 meters per second, dust first reached the capital's suburbs at 7 a. m., downtown
    areas at 9 a. m. The winds, which died down during the night, brought the temperature down to as low as 8 0C below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the city's airport.
         It is quite rare for sandstorms, which are frequent between March and June, to happen in winter,
    when the earth is frozen. The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will
    be more of them in the spring than last year, when they were serious, but Beijing is taking it very seriously. It is reported that Beijing will spend 6 billion yuan (US 725 million) in preventing sandstorms in the
    capital and has already set up a special team to make sure what causes them.
    1. What is the main idea of the passage?
    A. Sandstorms took place in Gansu.
    B. Sandstorms happened on the first day of the new year.
    C. Sandstorms are very serious,compared to last year.
    D. Experts are trying their best to determine the cause of the sandstorm formed this year
    2. Suppose the dust was 300 kilometers away from Beijing,it would reach Beijing about,          hours
        later if it travels at a speed of 20 meters per second?
    A. 4.2
    B. 1.5
    C. 2.0
    D. 2.5
    3. Why did sandstorms begin in the winter this year?
    A. Because there was little snow this season.
    B. Because a lot of trees have been cut down.
    C. Because people took few measures to control them.
    D. It is not mentioned in the passage.
    4. Which of the following doesn't belong to the bad effect the sandstorms have done in Beijing?
    A. The temperature fell.
    B. Flights put off their time to take off.
    C. The air is dirty.
    D. People had three days off
    5. The author wrote the passage to           .
    A. tell us the environments are becoming worse and worse
    B. explain what measures people have taken to control sandstorms
    C. make people realize the need to protect the environment
    D. call on us to do what we can to save the earth.

          English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among
    everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage of native English speakers is declining
    (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers
    of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
         However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主
    导) by the middle of this century to rank,after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. "The
    number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise,but it isn't rising nearly as fast as
    the numbers of many other languages around the world,simply because the main population group has
    been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken," he
    says.
         In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the
    top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali,Tamil,and Malay,
    spoken in south and southeast Asia.
         David Crystal,the author of The Cambridge Encyclo?edia of the English L徵guage, says about
    1. 5 billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million
    native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the
    future of its dominance. "All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill
    and is getting faster,
    but nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this position before. " he said.
    1. In David Graddol' s opinion, English will         .
    A. remain widespread and important
    B. be more important than any other language
    C. lose its dominant position
    D. die away in the near future
    2. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that          .
    A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
    B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
    C. English language will soon drop in dominance
    D. more and more language users will choose English
    3. How many experts express their ideas about the future of English in the passage?
    A. 2.
    B. 3.
    C. 4.
    D. 5
    4. According to David Graddol,which of the folowing will possibly be one of the languages that
        will be most widely spoken?
    A. Malay.  
    B. Arabic.
    C. Urdu.
    D. German.
    5. What should be the best title for the passage?
    A. English Remaining the Dominant Position
    B. The Future of English? Who Knows?
    C. Opinions from Different Experts
    D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down

         [1] Why can't I get it done?
         [2] This is one question millions of people over the globe ask themselves every now and then. It is not
    as if you are not working hard, but you simply may not know that there is a difference between work and
    productivity. Your plan is what gives you a clear picture of what you are aiming at, but the method of
    achieving may vary from time to time. That you did not meet up with a deadline does not mean you were
    not working on it. The problem is whether you will be able to manage time.
         [3] Before you start on the next activity, task or project, first ask yourself why you want to do what
    you are about to do now. You will by this be able to know if the task should be done, and if the timing is
    right.
         [4] Doing the right thing at the wrong time makes it absolutely wrong. So it is not just enough to do
    what is right, also consider           . Your time has value, when you spend it on what is right at that instance. On the other hand, the value of your task is when it is done at the right time.
         [5] You will feel sorry about the time spent on what was not profitable to you. Time can not be wasted, because it can not be preserved and replaced. You are always doing something with your time. What
    matters is the value of what you are doing at the moment with your time.
         [6] The desire to make a difference begins with the ability to take the right decision on what to do. It
    will become simple if you learn to manage time effectively.
