阅读理解。     Luo Gaoqi hopes to join the increasing number of Chinese students in the United States because he wants
the experience of studying in a foreign land as it will help his future job at home."I want to try Western
education because people there think differently," said the 21-year-old who is in his final year of undergraduate
studies. "I also hope to meet friends from different cultures. The social connections may help in the future."
     The latest report from the US-based institute of International Education said China, for the first time, has
become the top country of origin for international students in the United States. For Yang Fan, a journalism
(新闻专业) student, said studying in the United States is a way to escape the competition for places in China"s
top universities.
     "Due to limited education resources, only about 60 percent of high school graduates in China enter college,
and a much lower rate enters the top-level ones. "A foreign degree will definitely help when I seek a job in
China," Yang said.
     Both Yang"s and Luo"s parents are supportive of them studying abroad. Neither of them is thinking of
settling down in the United States after graduation.
     "It is not realistic to do so. As a journalism student, there would be no advantage for me to work in the
United States," Yang said. "But in China, with a US degree and good English, I may stand out against other
students who have only studied in China."
     China still needs to improve its environment for scientists and high-level talents, said Xiao Mingzheng,
director of the Center for Human Resource Development and Management Research of Peking University,
adding that, in particular, the country needs to improve its policies relating to research environments.
      In June, the Chinese government published a plan concerning talent development for the next 10 years. In
it, it has improved policies and increased budgets to attract talented students back home.1. Why does Luo Gaoqi wants to study in a foreign land according to his words? A. Because the people there are more intelligent.
B. Because the foreign countries are more developed.
C. Because he can make more friends there.
D. Because the culture there is different from that in China. 2. What do Guo Gaoqi and Yang Fan have in common? A. Their major is the same, which is journalism.
B. Both of them want to go back to China after graduation.
C. Their parents are against their decision.
D. They are forced to study in a foreign land by their parents. 3. From the passage, we can infer that _______. A. scientists and high-level talents need a better environment in China
B. the students abroad are unwilling to go back to China
C. China doesn"t need those people to come back to our country at all
D. we all need to go abroad to study and then serve our own country

阅读理解。     Howling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together
to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different
explanations of a wolf"s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.
     One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It"s almost as if howling together helps the pack
stay together. Perhaps something is similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when
singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harington, a professor who studies
wolf behavior.
     Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the
next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may
actually be "punished" for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or
just a way to reconfirm status among its members? - Why do wolves howl for sure?
     What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting
grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens,
howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.
     Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will
follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of "roll call" where
wolves all howl together to report their presence. 1. What the possible similarity between wolves" howling together and human"s singing in chorus? A. The act of calling each other.
B. the sense of accomplishment.
C. The act of hunting for something.
D. The sense of belonging to a group. 2. Why does Harrington think the "social bond" theory may be wrong? A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.
B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.
C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.
D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus. 3. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to _____. A. show their ranks
B. find their companions
C. report the missing ones
D. express their loneliness 4. "Howling… is a contagious behavior" (in the last paragraph) means _____. A. howling is a signal for hunting
B. howling is a way of communication
C. howling often occurs in the morning
D. howling spreads from one to another

阅读理解。     For many businessmen online education has been a dream. Now it has come true. The investment (投资) in
higher education, whether financial or in terms of time, has long been impossible for many of them. But
well-known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet-based program, and these barriers have
been lifted.
     That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers. It is also a
benefit to industry with better qualified candidates applying for jobs at every level.
     Having the benefits of a higher qualification without going to the university campus is attractive to many
students. Campus study means greater cost, while online programs are flexible and save time, whether at home
or at work. Students can achieve their degrees without causing too much disruption to their career or home life.
     In addition to affordable, flexible classes and greater convenience, students also have access to the online
learning resources of many of the world"s top educational institutions. They can also communicate with their
tutors no matter what time it is or whether either party is away for any reason.
     This has opened up the possibility of getting a qualification from a university or college that many students
could only have dreamed of in the past. It also allows specialists to get the precise qualifications and focus on
their studies. As well as seeing the increase of applicants from lower-incomes and housewives, studying online
in the US is even becoming popular with younger people of college age.
     Employers have become increasingly welcome and positive to online qualifications as more candidates earn
them, especially if they"re properly approved by the US Department of Education.
     US institutions have led the way in online education provision. Many top US colleges and universities offer
a range of online programs that are highly respected and in every way perfectly fit for adults who need to
combine their studies with a working life. 1. According to Paragraph 1, many US colleges and universities . A. have begun to lift the barriers to financial investment

阅读理解。     A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your child" s hearing ability is normal.
Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he" s heard at school.
     Why should this be? It" s because he" s not using his heating ability to help him to remember and
understand what he" sheen taught. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by
what they hear. They" ve got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember
things by what they see, They" ve got good seeing memories.
     Some children have equally good ability of both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less
fortunate, seem to have poor hearing ~d seeing memories. Most children, I" d say, unwillingly prefer one
method over the other for learning and remembering. But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad
habit and deprives (剥夺) the child of the full use of his natural senses.
     Mrs Allen was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son" s hearing. "But
he never seems to really understand what he hears. That" s what his teachers tell me," she said.
     "My psychological examination of William shows he" s weak in his heating memory ~" I said,"but he has
perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school."
     "Our family doctor examined William and he said the boy" s hearing was all right. So, that proves you" re
right on that point." Admitted Mrs Allen."So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you
say, Dr. Dursteln."
     "You can do a lot to improve William" s hearing memory, but it" 11 take time. You must be patient and
not expect results immediately." I cautioned (告戒).
      I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs Allen to come back and see
me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program. 1. Those who have poor hearing memories _______.A. can not hear sounds clearly

阅读理解。     Each term. Andrew Tom receives a term bill, tuition (学费), student center recreation fee, resident activity
fee, health insurance. If only the rest of his expenses were as easy to quantify (确定数量).
     "It" s like you start out the term With plenty of money and then $ 20 for dinner out here and $100 at the
department store there, it" s gone," said Tom, a third-year student."And there are so many daily necessary
things that you don" t think about until you get there and need it."
     From the books to the fashionable clothes, college students say~ the expenses of a college education go
well beyond tuition and a dining hail meal plan. Many say they arrive on campus only to be frightened by
unexpected costs from sports fees to the actual price of a slice of pizza.
     Balancing a job with schoolwork, especially at colleges known for their heavy workloads like Harvard and
MIT, can be tough. So can the pressure that students of- ten feel in order to financially go along with their
friends.
     "When you get dragged along shopping, you"re going to spend money; if you, get dragged to a party and
everyone wants to take a taxi but you are cheap and wantto take a bus, chances are you" 11 end up sharing
the fee for the taxi," said Tom."Iguess you could say no, but no one wants to be the only one eating in the
snack bar while our friends are out to dinner."
      Max Cohen, a biology major at MIT, said he is used to watching fellow students spend $ 40 a night to
have dinner delivered or $ 50 during a night out at a bar. During the school" s recent spring break, friends on
trips for the week posted away messages that read like a world map-Paris, Rome, Tokyo."Meanwhile I
stay at home and work," said Cohen."I didn"t realize when I came here how much money I would spend or
how hard I would have to work to get by."
     It is a lesson some younger students learn quickly. Others, surrounded by credit card offers, go into debt,
or worse, are forced to leave school. 
     "A lot of people don" t think twice about how much they spend," said a first year student at M1T,"and you
feel the pressure sometimes to go along with them." 1. What do we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The tuition in the college is very high.

阅读理解。     Vint Cerf, who helped to build the Internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television
was approaching its "iPod moment"
      In the same way that people now download their favourite music onto their iPod, he said that viewers
would soon be downloading most of favourite programmes onto their computers."85 percent of all video we
watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it all the time," said Mr. Cerf, who is now the
vice-president of the Google, the world"s largest search engine.
      "You are still going to need live television for certain things-like news, sporting events and emergencies-but
increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod, where you download content to look at later." But some
critics, including some internet service providers, have warned that the Internet will collapse under the strain of millions of people downloading programmes at the same time.
     Broadband companies claim that the service will cause "traffic jams", which will cost millions of pounds to
sort out.
     But Mr. Cerf dismissed the warnings as "scare tactics", saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that
the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it.
     "In the intervening 30ears it"s increased a million times… We"re far from exhausting the capacity," he said.
"It"s an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online."
