阅读理解     TAIBEI-Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island"s "China rush", seeking
education on the Chinese mainland.
     According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and
postgraduate programmes on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998. Although
no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 per cent
annually in the past two years with well over 1,000 entering mainland campuses last year. 
     The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on
Chinese mainland colleges and universities. "Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more
knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job
market," Netbig.com vice-president Ingrid Huang said. "I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people," said
Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shi Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a
master"s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such
studies.
     A journalism graduate student, Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law
on the Chinese mainland since "there will be better career prospects for me now that more Taiwanese
companies are going there".
    Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland. "They hope the
children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations," said
Yang Chingyao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies.
     A Netbig.com survey showed the campuses favoured by Taiwanese students included Beijing,
Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most
popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.
     At present, Chinese Taibei doesn"t recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with
any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form
to a policy accepting certificates (iiE45) from selected universities. 1. More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because _____. A. Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or later
B. the fees asked for are lower than those of Taiwan

C. could do well in their business operations

B. Taiwanese companies are coming to the Chinese mainland because the law there is perfect
C. more Taiwanese companies coming to the mainland makes it better to learn laws

阅读理解。    Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye(颜料) broke, there has
been confusion over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no
connection whatever.
   Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food
products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003.
   Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from
the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled.
Last week Sudan"s Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for
clarification of the origin of the dye"s name.
   Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudan"s Embassy in China, explained the purpose
of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous
dye.
"We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said. "Our embassy
to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our
country. But they told us there was no relationship."
   The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese
embassy last week.
    "They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name,"
she said. "People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we
cannot give any explanation before we find out."
   Sudan dyes, which include Sudan 1 to 4, are red dyes used for colouring solvents(溶剂), oils,
waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes. They are classified as carcinogens by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer. 1. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph one?A. Causing cancer.

     BEIJING (AFP) - Archeologists in China have uncovered more than 3,000 dinosaur footprints,
state media reported,in an area said to be the world’s largest grouping of fossilized hones belonging
to the ancient animals.
     The footprints,believed to be more than 100 million years old,were discovered after a
three-month excavation(发掘、出土) at a gully in Zhucheng in the eastern province of Shandong,
the Xinhua news agency reposed. 
     The footprints range from 10 to 80 centimeters (4 to 32 inches) in length,and belonged to at
least six different kinds of dinosaurs,including tyrannosaurs,the report said Saturday.
     Wang Haijun,a senior engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,said the footprints faced
the same direction, Xinhua said.
     This indicated a possible migration or a panic escape by plant-eating dinosaurs after an attack by
predators(食肉动物),Wang added.
     Archeologists have found dinosaur fossils at some 30 sites in Zhucheng,known as “dinosaur
city.”The region has seen two major digs since 1964,and experts say the discovery of so many
 dinosaurs in such a dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct millions of
years ago.

阅读理解。     The men dressed as police officers stole about $200 million worth of art from the Isabella Stewart
Gardner Museum early this morning.
     The two burglars(窃贼)knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the
two security guards who were on duty that there was a disturbance in the area. The guards then made
the very serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two
burglars tied the guards up with tape.
     The two men spent about two hours in the museum. During that time, they stole 11 paintings and
an ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt.
     A maintenance(保卫)worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police.
     One of the greatest losses was Rembrandt"s works, "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee." It was a
very popular attraction at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.
     Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact
be much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the market
for nearly a century. According to law enforcement officials, this is considered to be the biggest theft
ever in the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the burglars will demand a ransom for
the paintings or try to sell them to a private collector.
     Museum officials and police are not sure why the burglars chose certain works and not others.
There are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.
     Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museum"s security system. They believe that
this is a "professional job", because the people involved were well prepared and knew what they
wanted. Investigators have already questioned the museum"s guards extensively. They would not give
the names or ages of the guards, but one investigator said the Gardner hires and trains its own security
staff. So far, the guards have not been identified as suspects in the case. An investigator said that anybody having any information about the robbery should contact the Boston Police Department immediately.1. We can infer from the passage that           .A.the security guards didn"t identify the false policemen
B.the police had accurate ideas of the robbery after investigating
C.the burglars didn"t dare to sell the stolen things on the market
D.the security guards helped the thieves secrectly   2. According to the passage, "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee" was the following except that       .

B.Send the paintings to some foreign countries.
C.Ask for money to give the paintings back.

people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing-he looks

chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes
very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.

gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his
First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).
