More and more American parents, students, educators, political and business leaders have come to e the importance of Chine on the world stage. As a result, Americans hoping to learn Chine are growing in number though they face a lot of difficulties.
Liu Chuansheng, chairperson of the University Council at Beijing Normal University, talked about this situation. “There have been 300 million Chine learning English, and I know that there are more and more Americans beginning to learn Chine.
I remember when I came to the U. S. there were only 250 schools offering Chine class; when I left in 2005, there were already 2,400 schools hoping to offer Chine class. Today more than 700 schools are offering Chine class, and 4,500 are planning to do so.”
“This is an important time in America. We have suffered from an economic crisis; there is swine flu(猪流感) ---- all part of our lives. We need to be competitive to deal with the world and make an effort to un
derstand each other,” said Shuhan Wang, head of Chine Language Initiatives at Asia Society. “The number of Chine language teachers remains the key bottleneck,” she said. “And the need for specialized teachers becomes greater, as there is increasing popularity of early language learning ---- kindergarten through 8th grades.”
Jon M. Huntsman Jr., governor(州长) of Utah, has led his state to the front in teaching Chine. “While math and science remain main studies,” he said, “language is going to be an important drive in educ ation. Next year 82 schools will offer Chine to 6,000 students.”64. It is implied in the passage that the number of Americans learning Chine is growing mainly becau _______.

river on horback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crews saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the hor for 50. “Hell, ” said Winfield, “for 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn hor over the moon!”To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple
cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes.

Every profession，every art，and every science has its technical vocabulary. Its function is partly to name things or process which can not be described in ordinary English．Such special terms are necessary in technical discussion of any kind．Being universally understood by the specialists of the particular science or art，the terms have the exactness of a mathematical formula（公式）．Besides，they save time, for it is much more convenient to name a process than to describe it．
Different occupations，however，differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies．In trades and handicrafts，and other professions，like farming and fishery，that have occupied great numbers of men in the past，the technical vocabulary is very old．It consists largely of native words, or borrowed words that have worked themlves into the very fibre of our language．As a conquence, though highly technical in many particulars，the vocabularies are more familiar in sound；and more generally understood，than most other technicalities．
Yet every profession still posss a large body of technical terms that remain extremely unfamiliar, even to educated speech．And the amount has been much incread in the last fifty years．New ter
ms are invented with the greatest freedom，and abandoned unconcernedly when they have rved their turn．Most of the new inventions of words and expressions are restricted to special discussions, and ldom get into general conversation．Yet no profession
is，nowadays，as all professions once were，a clod
association．Specialists in different fields share ideas and associate freely with each other. Furthermore, what is called “popular science” familiarizes everybody with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote lab, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it—as in the ca of the Roentgen rays and wordless telegraph. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
67．Technical terms are created so .
A．specialists may communicate more easily
B．people may enjoy varieties of occupations
C．people may save time in everyday discussions
D．specialists may well accept mathematical formulas
后赤壁赋68．The writer lists wireless telegraph as an example to show special words .
A．should reprent popular science
B．may become part of common speech
C．should be restricted to scientific fields
D．may be considered great inventions of man
69．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Nonteehnical words may be replaced.
B．Media helps to popularize special terms.
C．Various professionals exchange their terms.
D．Educated people know most technical terms.

I don’t like getting up too early unless I have to. When you’re filming, you’ve got make-up on, which doesn’t happen often. As I’m not filming at prent I’ll get up at 8.30.祖儿在香港
Work normally means Matt coming over to my hou about 10 am. We’re writing at the moment. We’ll chat for a bit before going to my study. One of us will have an idea for a sketch (梗概), we’ll talk about the characters and when we feel we have enough we’ll start writing.
Matt and I met at the National Youth Theatre in 1990 and started doing shows together in ’95, at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. We know we’re onto something if we’ve made each other laugh, and that’s a really special moment. It’s not always like that, but we’re comfortable enough with each other that we can be honest and go. Some days you’re not in the mood to be funny—like writing when my dad was dying of cancer, or when Matt was parating from his partner.
We stop for lunch and sometimes go to Wagamama in Camden, but the last time we were followed by paparazzi (狗仔队), which gets you down—who wants to be pictured eating noodles?
When I’m not writing with Matt I work on other projects. My cond children’s book comes out later in the year. It’s called Mr. Stink. The first one I dedicated to my three-year-old nephew, Eddie. Both books have been illustrated by Quentin Blake; it’s been a thrill to work with him—like 20 years ago reading a Roald Dahl book and looking at tho drawings, then one day that person illustrates your work… magical.
At 5 I go swimming in Soho. My trainer makes me do horrible exercis, but I always feel better after.
Being in all day, I like to go out in the evening and look smart, but not like I’ve come out of the City. I’m a tall, broad guy and well-dresd.
For dinner I’ll meet friends. When you’re a single guy it’s great to have some good female
friends. Or I might take my mum to the theatre, as I know she really appreciates it. I like watching TV comedy shows to e what everyone’s doing. When you e something impressive it makes y ou work harder. I also love Larkin’s poems: they don’t try to transcend (超越) the commonplace; they’re much more straightforward.
Poetry is great to dip into before going to bed, rather than falling asleep reading a novel and being confud over what you’ve read or not. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in ven years; unfortunately, I rely on pills. I’ve tried everything. If I could wish anything for mylf, I’d wish I could sleep better.
67. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the author spends much time with his friends
B. the author and Matt are both famous in the district
C. the author doesn’t care much about what to wear
D. the author works at home and ldom goes out every day
68. Where does the passage most likely appear?
宝宝几个月可以竖着抱
A. In a travel diary.
B. In a news column.
C. In an online diary.
D. In a rearch paper.
69. Why does the author read some poetry before going to bed?
A. Becau poetry can often bring him some funny ideas.
B. Becau poetry is much easier to understand than novels.
C. Becau poetry is very abstract and reflects unusual things.
D. Becau poetry can be of some help for him to kill time.
70. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A day’s work with Matt
B. A new life-style
C. A life in the day
晋升报告怎么写D. A good way to write

As skies are filled with millions of migrating(迁徙)birds, European scientists say the asonal wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird, the better it flies.
The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics(空⽓动⼒学), which says that the power needed to fly increas with weight.
For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we ud to think. Rearchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance: 5, 000 kilometers.
Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird’s air stream.
Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri, a French scientist. The
findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Rearchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
In the study, rearchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated(模拟的)flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds’ bodies so that they could measure the amount of energy burnt dur ing the flight.
60.A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh_____before making its nonstop migrating flight.
A.50 grams
B.100 grams
元宵做法C.150 grams
D.200 grams
61.During their migrating flight, red knot wading birds can save energy by flying_______.
A.parately
B.alone
华为手机如何刷机
C.in groups
D.in pairs
62.A_______red not wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight.
A.stronger
B.weaker
C.thinner
D.fatter
63.The best title for this passage may probably be________.
A.Birds Thin Down For Journey
B.Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C.How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey
D.How Birds Burn Energy For Journey
