New media has been growing fast and influencing people’s lives in ways few things have done before. In 2010, China’s new media industry witnessed explosive development. But with “new” comes uncertainties and challenges. The following are brief reviews on the development of China’s new media and outlooks on its future.
I. Micro-blogging (微博)   
Short and convenient, micro-blogs also experienced “a big bang” in China last year, with the number of micro-bloggers at China’s popular portal(門戶網(wǎng)站) sina.com.cn almost doubling in less than six months. Afterwards, the other three major web portals, including sohu.com, qq.com and 163.com, each set up their own micro-blogging services. With more government officials and entities(實體) registering, China’s micro-blogging services are expected to play a more important role in connecting the public and the governments in 2011.
第一節(jié)                         Search Engines
Baidu’s position in the search engine market would face fierce challenges from sohu.com,
Microsoft’s Bing and goso.cn from the People’s Daily. Xinhua is also preparing to start its search engine together with China Mobile, a leading company in mobile networks. Goso and Xinhua both have the advantage of providing content, while Bing has a big edge in technology and funds. They are expected to pose threats(威脅) to Baidu in 2011.
第二節(jié)                         Internet of Things
IoT refers to a network of real-world objects linked by the Internet and interacting through on-line services. China set up its first IoT research center in Shanghai in March 2010.Within the same week, Premier Wen Jiabao stated in the annual government report that it would “accelerate the research and development, as well as application of the Internet of Things. ”
However, some experts say China’s IoT is still in an early stage, and it’ll take a long time for it to let the public enjoy its full functions. 
40. What is the text mainly about?
A. Some major media in China.
B. China’s new media and its future.
C. The development of China’s on-line services.
D. China’s early-stage IoT and its major functions.

小題2: Which of the following will be Xinhua’ s partner to start a search engine? 
A．Baidu.B．Sohu.com. C．Goso.cn.D．China Mobile.
小題3: What does the underlined part “a big bang” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

Although the cat doesn’t 36  this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will 37 itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
   38 , when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many 39  changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves 40  run.
Human beings, 41  , have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them 42  , we can get into trouble.

Does this mean that it’s smarter always to 45  our feelings? No! If you 46  feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays47  . Physical illnesses can develop. It can actually be48  for your health.

From a very early age，some children exhibit better
self-control than others.Now，a new study that began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child’s low self-control can predict poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed.Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like“acting before thinking”and “Persistence in reaching goals.”
The study led  by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1，000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin,New Zealand.
“The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most health problems in their 30s，” Moffitt said， “and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.”Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed，and weren’t just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it’s still unclear why some children have better self-control than others，though she said other researchers have found that it’s mostly a learned behavior,with relatively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in familles because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news，Moffitt said，is that self-control can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.
小題1:From the first two paragraphs we learn that         .
A．the research has been carried out for five years
B．self-control in kids tends to determine their future
C．self-control was assessed by children’s intelligence
D．children’s self-control is almost the same at early age
小題2:Children with low self-control are more likely to         .
A．become wealthy in later lifeB．get good school performance
C．have better financial planningD．a(chǎn)dopt negative behaviors
小題3:According to Moffitt，       .
A．only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future
B．scientists know well why some children have better self-control
C．self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity
D．willpower as a child really influences people’s chances of adulthood
小題4:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
B．The study is restricted within few participants.
C．It’s never too late to deal with self-control problems.
D．Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.
小題5:.Which of the following might be the best title of the  passage？
A．Child’s self control predicts future health，success
B．Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age
C．Children’s development cannot be changed by teachers
D．How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schools

Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban 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-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces.
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 disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是）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 obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (強制性的) activities can also have a 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 of 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.
小題1: According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.
A．is still unknownB．is being closely studied
C．is usually neglectedD．has been fully recognized
小題2:The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.
A．the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood
B．a(chǎn)ll of the recreation facilities far from home
C．relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
D．the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
小題3:The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.
A．in special areasB．in the suburbs
C．in the neighbourhood of the houseD．in gardens and parks
小題4: The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.
A．suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious
B．show that recreation activities are very important
C．show how recreation activities have spread wildly
D．suggest how to offer recreation activities around home
小題5:Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?
A．One lives the very best standard of living.
B．There are too many distractions outside his home.
C．There are few recreations around his house.
D．One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.

There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant．Recently another boy told Bill that he should "go Ajax" his teeth．Bill was crushed．If the other boy had been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation．He could have dealt with it with tact．He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way—that's "tact"．
If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful．Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set．Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen．My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts—and then showed how to clean the screen properly．Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect．Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact．
"Tactfulness" also requires "truthfulness"．Doctors, for example must be truthful．If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth—but express it with sensitivity．The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available．Doctors must use tact with patients' relatives as well．Instead of bluntly saying, "Your husband is disabled," a doctor might say, "I'm sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and．．．"
Tact should not be confused with trickery．Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says, "This won't hurt a bit．" Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it．It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits．
Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected．Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in．
小題1:The underlined word "crushed" in the first paragraph probably means____．
A．surprisedB．cheatedC．regretfulD．painful
小題2:According to the author, his mother's praise for the brother is ____．
A．sensitive and tactfulB．sensitive but not tactful enough
C．truthful but not tactful enoughD．sensitive but trickish
小題3:Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

Goats are being hired to do the work of people near SanDiego. The fires that occurred in Hillborbough four years ago destroyed thirty homes, most of which have been rebuilt. While people were rebuilding the homes, the grasses and bushes were growing back. The area is now so overgrown in bushes that there is again a major danger of fire.
The city council asked for offers to remove the bushes. The lowest bid they received was $50,000-----and that was if the city provided breakfast and lunch for the workers for thr six weeks it would take to clear the overgrown area. The city only wanted to give unlimited coffee and a piece of bread a day for each person. When that offer was rejected, the city asked for help on its website.
A sheepherder（養(yǎng)綿羊的人） in Montanta and a goatherder（養(yǎng)山羊的人） in San Bernardino read about the city’s plight （困境）while surfing the Web on their laptops. They both offered to do the job for $25,000. The council chosed the goatherder because he lived closer. When he was told that the city dump（垃圾場） was overflowing , the gotherder said, “No problem. My goats will eat everything in your dump, except the car engines, of course.” So ,for another $5,000, the city killed two birds with one stone. If all goes well, they will invite the goatherder and his “family” back every three years. The goatherder said that he would probably visit San Diego while his goats were in the dump. “I want to go there by plane, I just hope we don’t crash. My goats will miss me a lot.” He said.
小題1:Why did the city council want to remove the bush?
A．Because the fires in hillborbough destroyed 30 homes.

C．Because the overgrown bushes could cause fires again.
D．Because two sheeherder offered to do the job.
小題2:The goatherder was chosen to do the job because       
A．He offered to do it for the lower price
B．It was easier to transport his goat
C．Goats can do the job better than the job
D．The city wanted to raise more goats
小題3:According to the passage,          
A．the sheepherder offered to do the job for $50.000
B．the lowest bid to remove the bushes was $50,000
C．the sheepherder and the goatherder were both addicted to surfing the Internet.
D．hiring goats to do the job saved the government lots of money.

Butter is bad for you—so is margarine（人造黃油）．Coffee raises blood pressure, but may protect against cancer．Alcohol is okay, but only if it's wine．The confusing studies on what is safe to eat and drink are enough to make it impossible for anyone to understand what "good food" is．
Take the margarine-butter debate for example．Studies that linked fat—found mostly in animal products such as meat and butter—with cancer and heart disease sent millions rushing to buy margarine．But then another study found that people who ate a lot of margarine also had high levels of heart disease．For those who have a firm faith in science, this seems to be the end of the world．
But many doctors point out that their advice has never been conflicting．For years, and in various countries, they have recommended eating less fat．
People in western countries such as Britain and the United States get about 40 percent of their calories from fat．Doctors say this should be around 30 or even 25 percent,
"We must try to reduce total fat," said Dr．Robert Richardson of the University of Edinburgh, who has been studying the effects of fat on human health for years．
"We need to go to more such food as bread, in particular brown bread, and more fruit and vegetables．"
Fresh produce may not be so safe, either．Last month the British Government advised consumers to peel their pears before eating, while many Americans briefly avoided apples because of fears over an insect killing chemical．
But Dr．Arnold, a British scientist, said any risk of such poisoning would be outweighed by the costs of not eating plant foods．
"On balance, if you were to put both risks against each other, the advice has to be eating as much fruit and vegetable daily as possible," she said．
In general, doctors conclude, variety truly is the best policy．"The general advice is pretty much the same advice that doctors have been talking about for a long time—a varied diet, a mixture of foods and not too much of any one," Arnold said．
小題1:In which section of the magazine are you most likely to find this passage?
A．Arts and CultureB．Entertainment
C．NatureD．Health
小題2:The British Government advised consumers to peel their pears before eating because ________．
A．it found that there were insects on the pears
B．it wanted consumers to avoid insect, killing chemicals
C．the skin of pears was found to be bad for people's health
D．it was a bad habit not to peel them
小題3:The underlined word "outweigh" （Para. 8） means " __________．"
A．to be heavier than usual or allowedB．to be more dangerous than
C．to be greater in value or importance thanD．to be considered less important than
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Many doctors say that their advice has never been conflicting．
B．Science provides answers to all our questions．
C．We should peel our pears before eating．
D．We should eat plant foods despite the risk of poisoning．
