13．Australia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country．The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education，Skills，Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012．As a result，the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified，and the deposit （押金）required to study in Australia has been reduced．Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased．Also，overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation，as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement．
"This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas，"says Wang Lan，a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group （EIC），a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas．However，in the past few years，many of Wang's student clients （客戶）could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements，visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough．The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia，Wang says．A 22?year?old female student surnamed Li，in Beijing，who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia，learned about the policy change several weeks ago．"According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa，my family was required to put down 550，000 yuan （$ 86，850）．Now we only need to prepare 410，000 yuan．This is a relief for my parents，"Li says．
She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans．
"I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China，"she says．Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad，according to the report by EIC．

5．Have you ever found yourself in this situation：You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child-a bit of nostalgia（懷舊） or"blast from the past，"as we say．But it is not a distant childhood memory．The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago．
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language．They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages．
Here is what they did．Researchers took 60adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20．Then they gave the groups three different types of"listen-and-repeat"learning conditions．Researchers had one group simply speak the words．They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm，or beat．And they asked the third group to sing the words．
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15minutes．Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered．
Why Hungarian，you ask？Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language．It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages，such as Italian or Spanish．After the tests were over，the singers came out on top．The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance．They did the best in four out of five of the tests．They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them．
Dr．Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language．The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3，or memorable 4，tune 5．
Dr．Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages．On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr．Ludke writes，"This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning，and opens the door for future research in this area．"

28．The"song"mentioned in the first paragraph is intended toC．
A．recall the past                       
B．a(chǎn)ttract the readers
C．introduce the topic                   
D．compare the childhood with the present
29．According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages？A
A．Hungarian      
B．Spanish      
C．Italian   
D．English
30．Based on the last two paragraphs，we can conclude thatB
A．singing is the best way to learn a language．
B．the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words．
C．a(chǎn) listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner．
D．Dr．Katie Overy and Dr．Ludke disagree with each other．
31．In which situation can the finding of the research be applied？D
A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak．
B．A child is going to have his first music lesson．
C．A student is going to learn a new English song．
D．An American is going to learn some Chinese．

I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself．

Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．In my life，I've never had a better piece of advice．

growing longer and longer．
C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on．

8．As the job-hunting season is approaching，many graduates are suffering from anxiety．Worried about not getting satisfactory offers，some students have sleep problems，or even lose their appetite （胃口）．
According to a survey across several universities in Wuhan，over 72percent are worried about finding a Job．Students in the first one or two years are also uneasy about their job expectations，which contributes to spreading anxiety further．
Lang Lei，a business major from Renmin University，hoped to get a position in a large state-owned enterprise．But when it turned out that things wouldn't be so easy，Lang became concerned．"I began to worry，"said Lang，who has now changed to more realistic goals．"Sometimes It was impossible for me to stop worrying．I had to talk about it on and on with my friends．"
Others feel anxious while waiting for interview results．Mo long，a senior software engineering major at South China Normal University，said，"For a day or two，I couldn't help but keep thinking about how I performed in front of the interviewers，how well I answered their questions，and whether they would consider giving me a chance in the end．"．Mo was even unable to focus on other things as his apprehension grew．Often he just wanted to grab a phone to call the Human Resources Department，but he didn't have their number．
Wen Fang，a well-known educator in Beijing，advises students not to be misled by the surveys and reports about the job market．"Unemployment rates are not linked to personal chances of getting a job，which is mainly determined by his or her ability．"
According to Wen，a mild degree of anxiety is normal，which can even be helpful．But if it constantly affects a student's normal life，one should pay more attention．"Focus on adapting yourself to the needs of society，and never expect too much of your goals，"Wen added．

60．Mo Tong didn't call the Human Resources Department becauseC．

18．If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2011．The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its car-plane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2011．
"It's the next‘wow'vehicle，"said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh．"Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，F(xiàn)erraris don't fly．"
    The car plane has wings that unfold for flying--a process the company says takes one minute--and fold back up for driving．A runway is still required to take off and land．
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both．The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations．
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly．They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go．When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road．There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport--you park it in the garage at home．
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10，000 feet．It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1，430 pounds，including fuel and passengers．Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal（臨界） conditions．
The Transition's price tag：$194，000．But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，transponder or GPS．Another option is a full-plane parachute．
"If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，"Gersh said．
    So far，the company has more than 70 orders with deposits．"We're working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，"Brown said．
67．From the first paragraph we can learn thatD．
A．car-planes will be produced in large amount in 2011
    B．Richard Gersh is the president of Terrafugia
    C．both Transition and Ferrari can fly and land safely
    D．possibly people will drive a car-plane in 2011
68．It takes the car-plane one minute toC．
    A．fold and unfold its wings             B．fold back up for driving
    C．unfold wings for flying              D．land in the airport
69．According to the passage，which of the following is Wrong？B
    A．The car-plane requires a runway to take off and land．
    B．The car-plane may fly higher than normal planes．
    C．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home．
    D．the company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations．
70．What's the best title for the passage？A
    A．Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes．
    B．Which to Choose：A Ferrari or a Car Plane
    C．A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly．
    D．Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner．
