Authorities did not release（公布）the gunman’s name, but Peters said he had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illionois.

DeKalb county coroner（驗尸官）Dennis J. Miller on Friday released the identities of the four victims who died in the county: Daniel Parmenter, 20, of Westchester; Catalina Garcia, 20, of Cicero; RyanneMace, 19, of Carpenters-ville; and Julianna Gehant, 32, of Meridan.

“Two other victims died after being transferred to hospitals in other counties,” Miller said. Witnesses said the gunman, dressed in black and wearing a stocking cap,  emerged from behind a screen on the stage of 200-seat Cole Hall and opened fire just as the class was about to end around 3 pm.

Officials said 162 students were registered for the class but it was unkown how many were there on Thursday.

Allyse Jerome, 19, a sophomore（大二學(xué)生）from Shunmburg, said the gunman burst through a stage door and pulled out a gun.

“Honestly, at first everyone thought it was a joke,” Jerome said. Everyone hit the floor, she said. Then she got up and ran, but tripped. She said she felt like “an open target.”

“He could’ve decided to get me,” Jerome said on Friday. “I thought for sure he was gonna get me.”

Lauren Carr said she was sitting in the third row when she saw the shooter walk through a door on the right-hand side of the stage, pointing a gun straight ahead.

“I personally Army-crawled halfway up the aisle（通道）,” said Carr, a 20-year-old sophomore. “I said I could get up and run or I could die here.”

She said a student in front of her was bleeding, “but he just kept running.”

More than a hundred students cried and hugged as they gathered outside the Phi Kappa Alpha house early Friday morning to remember Dan Parmenter, who was one of those killed.

Thai authorities have been urged to see to it that condominiums (公寓), apartment houses and other lodgings available to tourists throughout the country will be of higher quality than today, a leading tourism businesswoman has said.

Piyaman Techapaibul, president of the Tourism Council of Thailand, called on the Ministry of Tourism & Sports as well as other government agencies concerned to have those places and accommodations for tourists improved and upgraded to meet international standards because, she said, today's tourists from around the world have more money to spend and prefer quality lodgings as well as quality services and accommodations at those places.

"Added by condos and apartment houses currently opening for daily rent, the number of lodgings for tourists throughout the country has increased over the years, but not the qualities. Many of today's tourists are so affluent and selective that they'd prefer quality places where personnel should be very responsible and experienced in taking care of them while security should be constantly and effectually maintained," she said.

Employees and staff in charge of providing accommodations to tourists should be expert in communicating with the foreigners, service-minded and speak fluent English, according to the council leader.

Thailand is seen to receive up to 23.1 million tourists from other countries around the world next year, compared to about 21.7 million, who have reportedly visited the country throughout this year, about 2.6 million of whom from China, while as much as two trillion baht (US$66.6 billion) is expected to be earned from tourist industry by 2015, compared to about one trillion baht (US$33.3 billion) this year.

Thailand's most favorite destinations for tourists include the world-famous beach resorts of Pattaya and Phuket, the Andaman Sea archipelagos of Krabi and Surat Thani and the capital city of Bangkok.

The council leader made her comments in response to news reports that the government might deregulate (撤銷管制) businesses of running condominiums and apartment houses to the extent that they might not only serve as a place which collects monthly rent from the tenants but as a hotel where guests pay the room rates on a daily basis.

No parking lots or hotel-operating licenses might be legally required at such places nationwide only if they were practically turned into daily hotels or guesthouses.

1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A．Thai started to take measures to have the accommodations improved in the past.

B．Tourism is the leading industry in Thailand.

C．The accommodations in Thailand are of poor quality.

D．Tourists prefer hotels to apartment houses in Thai.

2. What does the underlined word “affluent” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．particular         B．prosperous        C．sensitive          D．restricted

3. According to the passage, how many people went to Thailand for a trip except China this year?

A．a(chǎn)bout 23,1 million                       B．a(chǎn)bout 21.7 million

C．a(chǎn)bout 2.6 million                        D．a(chǎn)bout 19.1 million

4. Why did the authorities in Thai need to have the lodgings improved?

A．Because tourists prefer better service and better living condition

B．Because tourists have plenty of money.

C．Because they want to meet the international standards

D．Because the condominiums in Thai are inferior to those in any other country.

5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?

B．Bangkok is one of the most attractive destinations for tourists

C．Thailand has earned about one trillion baht from tourist industry this year.

BERLIN — With the crisis in Japan raising fears about nuclear power, Germany and Switzerland said on Monday that they would reassess the safety of their own reactors.

Doris Leuthard, the Swiss energy minister, said Switzerland would put off plans to build nuclear plants. She said no new ones would be permitted until experts had reviewed safety standards.

Germany will put off “the recently decided extension of the running time of German nuclear plants,” Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. “This moratorium（延緩）will run for three months and it will allow for a thorough examination of the safety standards of the county’s 17 nuclear power plants.

The European Union called for a meeting on Tuesday of nuclear safety authorities to assess Europe’s preparedness.

Germany’s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, called for a new risk analysis of the country’s nuclear plants, particularly regarding their cooling systems. He is the leader of the Free Democratic Party, which strongly supports nuclear power.

A previous government, led by the Social Democrats, passed a law in 2001 to close all the country’s nuclear plants by 2021. But Mrs. Merkel’s government changed that decision last year to extend the lives of the plants by an average of 12 years.

In Switzerland, Doris Leuthard said she had already asked to analyze the exact cause of the problems in Japan and draw up new or tougher safety standards “particularly in terms of seismic(地震的) safety and cooling.”

In Russia, the Prime Minister said his government would “draw conclusions from what’s going on in Japan.”

1.Where can you most likely read this passage?

A．In a newspaper.

B．In a magazine.

C．In a science report.

D．In a diary.

2.How will Germany react to Japan’s nuclear crisis?

A．Germany will close all the country’s nuclear plants.

B．Germany will hold a meeting of nuclear safety authorities.

C．Germany will change the decision made last year.

D．Germany will delay the extension of nuclear plants running time.

3.The author mentions all the following EXCEPT ______.

A．The moratorium in Germany will give time to examine the nuclear plants safety standards.

B．Switzerland will not build new nuclear plants unless they meet the experts’ safety standards.

C．The Social Democrats in Germany shares the same view with the Free Democratic Party.

D．Russia will try to learn something from the nuclear power crisis in Japan.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A．Watch Out for the Danger of Nuclear Power

A recent study, published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.

The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.

Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue”, he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled task the driving is.”

Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (減輕) the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with passenger restrictions, before graduating to full driving privileges.

Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of

those states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest, with a novice (初學(xué)者) driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.

46. Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?

A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.

B. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.

C. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.

D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.

47. According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _________.

A. their lack of driving experience???    B. their frequent driving at night

C. their improper way of driving???     D. their driving with passengers

48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A. Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.

B. Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn.

C. Restrictions should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons.

D. The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers' driving accidents.

49. A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers' driving accidents is that _________.

A. driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule

B. they should be prohibited from taking on passengers

C. the licensing system should be greatly improved

D. they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p.m.

50. The present situation in about half of the states is that the graduated licensing system _______.

A. is under discussion?????           B. has been put into effect

C. is about to be set up??????         D. has been perfected
