9.The sun beat down on Zhang Tingjun as she ran the"City of Peace"marathon (馬拉松) in Dili,East Timor,last June.As the 28-year-old came up to the finish line,she felt something rising in her throat (喉嚨).When she was done,she caught sight of her three running mates and saw that they were also troubled by emotion.It was not because their unpleasant experience was over.For Zhang and her friends,each step they took would help save a life.
It all started in July 2009 when the four young Singaporean women decided to go on an adventure (歷險) together.Someone suggested a five-day bicycle race and they jumped at it.
Soon they were talking about the poverty (貧窮) that has troubled East Timor."The conversation slowly turned to a common subject-to use adventure as a chance for change,"Zhang recalls.They set up The Chain Reaction Project (TCRP),with the goal of using their love for sport and adventure to help the poor.
In addition to their four-hour-a-day training plan,they asked families,friends and workmates for donations (贊助).Their first efforts raised just 78.Then out of the blue,Zhang's friend,Ivy Singh Lim,donated﹩15,550."To have someone believe what we are doing means more than the money in my hand,"says Zhang.In all they raised more than﹩35,000.
The four friends arrived in Dili in August 2009,several days ahead of the start of the race.Needing a place to stay,they took up an offer to camp at HIAM Health,a children saving center.
During their week at the center,the women learned that more than half of Timorese children under five don't have enough food.They also discovered that the center was trying to get enough money to prove what it could do to help.TCRP came to a decision the money they had raised would go to HAIM Health.
One child at the center rounded Zhang's heart.Two-year-old Sarah came from a poor family."Sometimes the children's condition is so bad that they cannot grow normally.But Sarah received help early enough and became all right soon,"Zhang recalls.
When the TCRP members returned for the 2010 Dili marathon,they were joined by 18 other runners.The group raised﹩10,000 for HIAM Health,as well as a﹩21,750 playground donated by Playpoint Singapore.Today HIAM Health plays an important role in poor children's lives.
TCRP next plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro,the highest mountain in Africa,in February 2011.Their goal:to raise at least﹩30,000 for AIDS children.
"We know a﹩10,000 donation isn't going to save the world,"Zhang says."The effort of a group of people will be far greater than the four of us can achieve on our own."

20.Mumbai in Western India is the world's third largest city with a population of about 25million people.This huge population increases by about 215families a day coming in from the countryside.Mumbai is a great city with some lovely hotels,shops and restaurants,a lot of businesses and factories and some pleasant suburbs (郊區(qū)),but it also has some areas where life is difficult.
Dharavi is a part of the city where poor people arriving in the city often go.There are crowds of people everywhere.Many people live on the street.There are no flats.The best you can get is a hut built out of boxes and pieces of wood.There are no toilets and there is rubbish everywhere as no one collects it.There are black birds,called crows,all around.They are not very nice,but they do eat a lot of the rubbish.Mumbai has a lot of rain and there are lakes in the mountains for water,but people have to walk every day to public taps to get water and carry it back home.The water is definitely not safe to drink.The people of Dharavi,however,work hard.There are shops and businesses everywhere and you can hear plenty of success stories.
The traffic in Mumbai is so bad that it can take you an hour to move a few blocks.Animals walk in the streets among the cars and vans.Everyone is late for appointments (約會).The city has a lot of trains.They carry hundreds of thousands of people every day.People sit on top of the trains and hold onto the sides.
If you visit,you must take care as there are a lot of crimes.The police cannot do much to stop the crimes or catch the law-breakers as there are not enough of them.
Another very serious problem is air pollution.Cars are responsible (負責) for a lot of it,but home cooking fires also add to it.
Farmers must be persuaded to stay in the countryside; otherwise Mumbai will go on growing and life will become more unpleasant and unsafe.

29.The passage tells us thatD.
A.Mumbai is the third largest city in India

17.Every day in China,about 200million children go to school.Many of them take school buses.What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?
On April 5,the State Council (國務院) published new rules about school bus safety.These new rules are much stricter than the old ones.
Under the new rules,local governments must make sure that students attend nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks.Also,local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.
From now on,school buses have a speed limit of 80km per hour on highways and 60km per hour on normal roads.While on the road,other cars must let school buses go first.
The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超載的).They have a speed limit of 80km per hour on highways and 60km per hour on normal roads.
There are many other rules as well.A school bus must have more than seven seats.On each bus,there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids.Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (滅火器),a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.
Last year,a series of school bus accidents happened in China.To stop such accidents,the Central Government decided to strengthen the rules for school buses.
The most serious accident happened in November in Gansu,when a nine-seat minibus crashed.There were 62children inside,and 21of them died.

31.Under the new rules,which of the following is NOT true?B
A.School buses must not be overloaded.
B.School buses must drive 80km/h or less on normal roads.
C.School buses can go first when there are other cars.
D.School buses must drive 80km/h or less on highways.
32.The phrase"keep an eye on"in Paragraph 6has a similar meaning to"A".
A.look after
B.play with
C.look for
D.chat with
33.According to the new rule,a school bus must have the following EXCEPTC.

B.more than seven seats
C.a(chǎn) parent of one of the students   
D.a(chǎn) fire extinguisher and a first aid kit
34.The government made new rules for school buses becauseD.
A.21students died in school bus accidents last year
B.the government encourages all students to take school buses
C.200million children in China go to school by bus every day
D.school buses in China were not safe enough before.

4.Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The programme works because everyone's eyes are different.So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank.You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition(識別)programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA,Britain,Spain,Italy and Turkey.Soon,this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
However,scientists are working on other systems.Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older,or get dirty like hands or fingers.And even twins have different eyes,so the programme can be up to 94% correct,depending on how good the technology is.Some programmes may only be right  51% of the time.In Britain,it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye.So smile!

38.How does the eye-recognition programme work?C
A.You write your number.
B.You show your ID card.
C.You look at the machine.
D.You say your name.
39.Why can the programme be up to 94% correct?A
A.Because eyes never change.
B.Because hands or fingers can get dirty.
C.Because people like the idea of the programme.
D.Because the programme is widely used around the world.

A.The programme is being tested in Japan.
B.Machines with other systems can also tell who you are.
C.91% of people like the idea of the programme.
D.Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes.
41.What does this passage mainly talk about?B

14.Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,but many people don't have it.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include shortage of time,not feeling hungry,traditional dislike for breakfast,and dieting(節(jié)食).
Breakfast simply means"break the fast".You eat nothing for at least 6to 12hours each night.Even though you have been sleeping,you have still been burning energy.And in the morning your body needs energy for the day's work ahead.
A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3of your total calories(卡路里)that your body needs for the day.Generally speaking,we eat 400less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn't interest you in the morning,try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning.
If you still aren't hungry in the morning,start with something small like juice or bread or have nutritious(有營養(yǎng)的)mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.
So,you say you're on a diet.Some people are afraid that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more.It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day.That's because your body is working correctly.Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long,in fact you're probably not.
Not eating breakfast may cause you to overeat,because a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel hungry later.To make things worse,since your body is in a slowed state,it will not be able to burn those extra calories well.If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day,you may not become hungry so easily and eat too much when you have meals.
Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day,your choice is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits,juice,lean meat,and grain products such as bread,rice,noodles and cereals.

58.The underlined word"fast"means"a period during which someoneC."
A.moves quickly
B.works hard
C.goes without food
D.sleeps in bed
59.From the passage,we know thatD.
A.breakfast provides us most of the energy
B.breakfast may help to save the dinner
C.breakfast might make people overeat
D.breakfast helps our body work well
60.What is the best title for this passage?B

1.Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists.The number of travelers of  Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years.Since July 1,2006,when the first train ran 1956kilometers from Xining to Lhasa,more and more people have been going to Tibet.
The train stops at several famous places along the way,such as Qinghai Lake,Kunlun Mountain,and the Potala Palace.Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey,like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.
On the train,passengers can have tea,eggs and noodles for breakfast,and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner.Unlike most Chinese trains which have open-hole toilets,this one has special toilets which can collect the waste.There is also a special rubbish system (系統(tǒng)) in the train that keeps the environment clean.All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight.TV and electrical sockets (插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.
Because there isn't much oxygen there,trains will have oxygen masks (氧氣罩) for those who need them.It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous"roof of the world".There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travelers are safe.
