     Gaochun County, a picturesque county in east China's Jiangsu Province, was expected to be named the first "slow city" in China in November this year.
     The arrival of Pier Giorgio Oliveti, chairman of the World Slow City Union, raised the idea of a slow
city, which has become popular all over the world. In Shanghai, Oliveti said that the slow city movement
was founded in his hometown of Italy in October of 1999. "Italy is the birthplace of slow food, which
emphasizes nutrition, flavor and taste," he said.
     Oliveti said the idea of a slow city has also expanded constantly during its development, which has led
to some special requirements today. For instance, the slow city always emphasizes a small town and its
residents, keeps a unique identity, characteristics and keeps the natural state of the town. It adopts
technology without losing traditional customs and offers to provide a clean environment, a fair deal and
healthy food for all. In addition, the slow city has to be eco-friendly with a population of no more than
50,000, and it must be deeply devoted to protecting and keeping the purity of the natural environment as
well as greatly promoting and carrying out sustainable (可持續(xù)的) development technologies.
     The ecological tour of Gaochun County includes an area of about 49 square kilometers with around
20,000 residents. It has a lot of tea, bamboo fruits, herbs (草本植物) and other green food ecological
bases as well as rich folk culture resources.
     There are now 135 slow cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since the
founding of the organization in 1999.

    閱讀理解

    　　A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office at Millwood High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia．The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher, not his cellphone．The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr．Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap．He was texting while being scolded for texting．“It was a subconscious act,”says Mr．Gallagher, who took the phone away．“Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they close their eyes at night．It's compulsive．”

    　　A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga．, found that the more time young people spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits．Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable, but they are also more likely to be anxious, hostile or depressed．(Doctors, meanwhile, are now blaming addictions to ‘night texting' for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens．)

    　　Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families．Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers come to see texting and ‘social-network checking' as accepted parts of the workday?

    　　Think back．When today's older workers were in their 20s, they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans．In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired．It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today．

    　　Educators are also being asked by parents, students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules．“In past generations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class．Now students are adept at texting with their phones still in their pockets,”says 40-year-old Mr．Gallagher, the vice principal,“and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over．Students are just fundamentally different today．They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones．”

    第二部分：閱讀理解（共25題，第一節(jié)每題2分，第二節(jié)每題1分）
    第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A，B，C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
    Trouve sat up on its back legs arid growled（吼叫）the words “How are you, Grandmama?” The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel（一口）of food. His hard wok paid off. His dog could talk!
    Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people’s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.
    The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.
    Next Aleck moved the dog’s “l(fā)ips’ as it growled. It sounded like “ma ma ma.” Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck’s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “ma ma” perfectly.
    Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog’s jawbone（下顎骨）, it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog’s lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga ma ma”. With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmama.” Whenever Trouve said “grandmam,” Aleck gave the god two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.
    Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue. So that Trouve could say more words. That didn’t work, but Aleck didn’t give up.
    After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmama?”
    Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn’t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.
    Aleck’s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn’t. But he kept trying—always learning; One of his inventions was something called the telephone.
    41．Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?
    A．His father had an influence on him.      
    B．He had a talent for giving speeches.
    C．He taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.
    D．He carried out many experiments to improve people’s speech.
    42．Trouve grew fond of practicing talking because         .
    A．it liked being together with Aleck  B．it was given some food for that
    C．it would like to develop its potential      D．Aleck treated it like one of the family
    43．Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?
    A．Humorous.      B．Naughty.  C．Knowledgeable.       D．Curious.
    44．What contributes most to Aleck’s success in teaching the dog to talk?
    A．His own hard work.         B．His neighbor’s help.
    C．His father’s encouragement.    D．The dog’s smartness.
