| In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was "Save water. Shower with a friend." Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now. Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they' re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time. "It's a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card," said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students' suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water- saving sense. Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. "In my experience, l0 -20 minutes is enough," said Dai Zhihua, a third -year student who usually takes 8 minutes. A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two -minute shower. |
| 1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? |
| A. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower. B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap. C If money runs out, there will be no water. D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it. |
| 2. The underline word "flaw" (Paragraph 3) most probably means _____. |
| A. perfection B. advantage C. pity D. fault |
| 3. Since the new system has performed, _____ of water can be saved. |
|
A. a quarter |
| 4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. |
| A. the new operation can solve the water crisis. B. The new operation can raise students' environmental awareness. C. a similar operation has been set in other universities. D. The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system. |

| Technology has utterly transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each other both literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant messaging, blogs, and networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think. According to a study, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated. The study reveals, for example, that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that American have has dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more sharply among those with less education, people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks. From my own experience I have to say that I've never felt more connected, thanks to a web of friends, family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met face-to-face only twice, yet our regular electronic correspondence and cell phone calls maintain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring and important friendships. On the other hand, I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy (治疗) center. As I was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family therapist (临床医学家). After making their next appointment, they both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into their SUV, and, as I saw them drive off, they were still talking on their cell phones. But, alas, not to each other. |
| 1. What does the passage lead you to believe? |
| A. Americans are more socially connected today. B. Americans are more socially isolated today. C. Technology plays a bigger role in American society. D. Americans don't make good use of technology. |
| 2. Which of the following has nothing to do with the isolation among Americans? |
|
A. Age. |
| 3. What is true about the mother and son in the passage? |
| A. They came for therapy in the same car. B. They were quite close to each other. C. There was not much communication between them. D. They preferred talking to each other on cell phones. |

| There are many thoughts on the origins of civilization. One of the major factors involved was the increase in population. The development of techniques, primarily irrigation and flood control, which permitted agriculture in special areas such as the flood plain of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, made possible the support of large population. Once populations reach a certain number, the older pattern of social organization breaks down and new ones develop. Specifically the older system, whereby each individual participated in food production and maintained a similar standard of living and whereby kinship (家属关系) served as the basic method of social organization, was replaced by the occupational division of labor, political and religious hierarchies (等级制度) public works such as road and public building construction, class systems, codes of law, markets, new forms of warfare, and urban centres. Allied with these important sociological traits are material traits, such as monumental architecture and the development of science and, in many cases, metallurgy (冶金学) and writing systems. The earliest civilization, Sumer, developed in the Middle East. This was the Bronze Age of the Old World, during which people first developed the art of metallurgy, civilization also arose in other parts of the Old World first in Egypt, China, and India, and later in Europe and Africa. At this time, civilization also developed independently in the New World, in the Mexican area and in Peru and its neighboring areas. In the Old World the Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age, which saw the rise and fall of great empires and the shift of power from the Middle East to Greece and Rome and then to Western Europe. In the 1700s the Industrial Age began, leading directly to the modem civilization of today. |
| 1. The author of this passage ______. |
| A. gives a comparison between ancient civilization and modern civilization B. suggests that population increase is most important in the development of civilization C. tries to explain how civilization developed in human history D. explore the relation between agriculture and industry |
| 2. According to the first paragraph, the increase in population ______. |
| A. resulted in the development of agricultural technology B. resulted from the breakdown of old social organization C. caused the occupational division of labor D. was impossible without the development of agriculture |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT tree according to the passage?______ |
| A. The Bronze Age is one of the earliest civilizations. B. The Industrial Age started in the Middle East. C. The Bronze Age developed into the Iron Age. D. The use of metal instruments started from the Bronze Age. |
| 4. Which of the following is NOT included in the expression "the Old World" used in the passage?______ |
| A. American continent. B. Both Western and Eastern Europe. C. African continent. D. Asian countries. |

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
