        "In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight."
         "Two full inches in the first three days!"
         These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper, radio and television ads, promising
    new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say
    they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or
    desirability.
         Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they
    produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.
         To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food and Drug
    Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective
    before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require
    premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health,
    FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal
    action, including seizure (查封) of the product.
         One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had
    been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through
    contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds
    that it was dangerous to health and life.
         Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法
    律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety
    or effectiveness of such items.
    1. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are            .      
    A. objective        
    B. costly                
    C. unreliable        
    D. illegal
    2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.
    B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
    C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
    D. The promoters usually just care about profits.
    3. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product           
    A. if it is a drug
    B. if it is a device
    C. if its consumers make complaints
    D. if its distributors challenge FDA's authority
    4. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as                    .
    A. a product which was designed to produce electricity
    B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
    C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product
    D. an example of a quality beauty product
    5. The author intends to           .
    A. make consumers aware of the promoters' false promises
    B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
    C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
    D. introduce the organization of FDA

          Greenspace facilities (设施) are contributing to an important degree to the quality of the city
    environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject
    has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-proved
    statement than on the base of a closely reasoned scientific proof. Recognizing the importance of
    greenspaces in the city environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that
    enough details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which people
    are using these spaces. As to this subject I shall within the scope (范围) of this lecture, enter into one
    aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.  
         The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been
    used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in more attention for forms of recreation
    far from home, while there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the
    direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an
    important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and
    around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house.
    The city environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to
    be such that more required activities can also have recreative aspect.  
         The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if
    the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during
    shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only
    feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.  
    1. The importance of greenspaces in the city environment _____.  
    A. is still unknown                        
    B. is paid little attention to  
    C. is accepted on the base of scientific proof    
    D. has been recognized
    2. For many years town and country planning has _____.  
    A. brought living areas and places of entertainment close together  
    B. separated recreation facilities far from home  
    C. improved recreative possibilities in the neighborhood  
    D. enabled people to reach the best standard of living  
    3. What does the writer recommend to create a better environment?
    A. Providing a recreation place.        
    B. Creating more separated greenspace
    C. Owning greenspace facilities.      
    D. Delivering a free service.
    4. The word "recreation" in the passage probably means _____.
    A. activities done for pleasure or enjoyment    
    B. doing something again in a creative way  
    C. doing something important after work      
    D. required activities done after work  
    5. According to the author, greenspaces should be designed _____.  
    A. to reduce the number of recreative activities  
    B. to attract more and more people  
    C. for people to use more conveniently        
    D. for people to do recreative activities at the street door of the house
    6. The main idea of this passage is that _____.  
    A. attention must be paid to the improvement of recreation  
    B. greenspace facilities should be used better to improve the quality of life  
    C. the city environment is providing more recreative activities  
    D. we should try our best to raise our living standard

         Recently more students are choosing to study abroad as they think it is worthwhile. However, some
    people think it is not a good idea. There are a number of disadvantages in studying abroad. The following
    paragraphs will explain why students have these views and the advantages of studying abroad will be
    discussed.
         Students studying abroad may suffer from racial discrimination (歧视). As they left their home
    country, they will become part of a minority group in the new country. The majority group may have a
    sense of superiority and try to bully them. It is common that Americans or the British discriminate against
    people from other countries since many of them think that white people are better than others.
          In addition, the students may lose their own cultures. Since they have moved to a new place, all the
    thing there - people, lifestyle and the living environment---would be different from those in their own
    country. As they will have close contact with the local people and culture, they will be influenced by the
    new culture even without realizing it. It is ironic that a Chinese person speaks better English than Chinese
    and forgets about Chinese culture after studying abroad for a few years.
           On the other hand, studying abroad will widen the view of students. Although they may give up their
    own culture, they can really learn from others. As students of the modern world , they should not limit
    their scope to their home country, but get exposed to the world. Studying abroad can help them expand
    their horizon and learn many things in the host country, as they will meet and make friends with people
    from all over the world. So, studying abroad is good for them.
          Furthermore, students will learn how to be mature and independent. Students, when in their home
    country, usually rely on their parents. Statistics show that Chinese students usually rely heavily on their
    parents; they will leave problems alone and ask their parents to solve them. If they are studying abroad,
    on many occasions they have to learn how to cope with difficulties they meet. As a result, studying
    abroad benefits them.
       Moreover, the education system of the foreign country may be better than the home country's
    education system. The home country's education system is very limited. Many teachers just spoon-feed
    their students. They will ask the students to recite a lot of things and then ask them to write them down.
    This choice of subjects in school, especially in secondary school, is very narrow; the students cannot
    choose what they want most. But in some schools in Britain and America, students can choose from a
    wider range of subjects at school. For example, media studies and corporate communications are
    courses of study in some schools of those two countries. If students choose to study abroad, they may
    have the opportunity to learn more things under a better education system.
         All in all, studying abroad will change and influence a student in many aspects. Although it is uncertain
    if the effects will be positive or negative, I believe students should seize the opportunity to study abroad
    because they will meet many new things and have new experiences in the new country. If they are clever
    enough, I think they can find a balance between learning about the new culture and holding onto their
    own one.
    1. Students studying abroad _____.
    A. will be respected by the locals.
    B. will forget their ancestors.
    C. may be treated unfair.
    D. may have difficulty overcoming homesickness.
    2. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
    A. The language environment will shorten the time of learning a language.
    B. Students studying abroad may be influenced by the new culture unknowingly.
    C. Studying abroad is much more comfortable than studying in your own country.
    D. A Chinese studying abroad only needs a few years to speak excellent English.
    3. Why can studying abroad widen the view of students?
    A. Because they may give up their own culture.
    B. Because they have to solve everything on their own.
    C. Because they can recite a lot of things and write them down.
    D. Because they can meet and make friends with people from around the world.
    4. From the last paragraph, we can know that the writer _______. 
    A. agrees that students should take the opportunity to study abroad.
    B. thinks that the effects of studying abroad will be positive and helpful.
    C. has been to a foreign country to see new things and have new experience.
    D. has found a balance between learning about a new culture and holding onto his own.
    5. Which of the following can best serve as a title for this passage? 
    A. Should students study abroad and work there?
    B. Should students leave their own country and study abroad?
    C. Should students studying abroad give up their own culture?
    D. Should students learn how to be mature and independent?

         下面文章中有5处(第1-5题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段意思的小标题,选项中有一项是多余选项。
    A.  Manufacturing industry in information economy
    B.  News in the age of information
    C.  Argument about individual accounts and their reliability
    D.  Be your own investigative journalist
    E.  Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers.
    F.  Information is presented in an entertaining way.
    1. _______
         With the arrival of the age of "information economy", intellectual work is becoming a more important
    source of wealth than manufacturing.Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their
    information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot of our news is actually
    collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists. In the information
    age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson.
    2. _______
         There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper's owner, Lord Copper. The editors can
    never disagree with him. When he's right about something they answer "definitely", and when he's wrong
    they say "to some extent, Lord Copper." It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the
    opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them.
    3. _______
         In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial
    organizations who depend on advertising. The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience
    ratings. I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show.
    In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment. There
    is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a
    sensational story.
    4. _______
         There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording
    sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People around the world
    will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted
    news-gatherers on equal terms .But what it will mean also is that we'll be subjected to a still greater
    amount of nonsense and lies. Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a
    made-up story that you will never be able to check.
    5. _______
         Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don't just mean changing your choice of TV
    channel or newspaper. In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only have two
    choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust. The investigative journalist of the
    future is everyone who wants to know the truth.
