The Focal Point of the “ Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle”
In China, there is a saying: a good spirit(wine) is in Sichuan, but the great one is in Yibin.
Yibin, the birthplace of Wuliangye, has a centuries-old tradition of producing great spirits. At the confluence of Jinsha and Min rivers, Yibin is praised as the first city on the source of the Yangtze River. Here, the water is clean, the soil is rich, and the climate is very favorable for brewing good liquor. The blessings of nature and centuries-old liquor brewing traditions gave rise to “ The Ten-Mile Liquor City ”, the main production facility of domestic liquor giant Wuliangye Group Co. Ltd.
Extending across 10 kilometers and dotted with gardens and sculptures, the city attracts domestic and foreign visitors with its famed liquor brewing and related culture. Another attraction is its legendary Ming Dynasty (1368-1644AD) liquor cellars (酒窖，地下储藏室).
The city has 30,000 large modern brewing tanks that provide an enormous capacity to store liquor.
The high quality of Wuliangye also owes much to its unique brewing techniques and materials. These traditional techniques are included on the list of national intangible（非物质的） cultural heritage.
Wuliangye’s sales revenues（销售额）and pre-tax profits accounted for nearly half of the respective （分别的） 59 billion yuan and 12.5 billion yuan generated by Sichuan’s provincial liquor industry in 2008. Liquor production by large enterprises in the province was about 1.1 million kiloliters, accounting for 19.6% of the production in the country.
Wuliangye is now investing 300 million yuan in a state-of-the-art quality assurance center (质保中心)that has higher standards than national requirements, which will boost the existing quality-control system when it is put into service next year.
With a goal of production value of 100 billion yuan for the year of 2020, Wuliangye is playing a leading role in the development of the liquor industry in the region. A lot of related industries are now building up in the region to create a Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle —the Chinese equivalent （相当于）of the French Bordeaux region---that continues to appear on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
67. To be exact, the domestic liquor giant Wuliangye Group Co. Ltd. Lies _________.
A. on the Jinsha River B. in the city of Yibin
C. to the west of Sichuan D. on the middle reaches of the Youngtze River
68. Which of the following is the most favorable for brewing the good wine?
A. The water B. The soil C. The climate D. The facility
69. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage above ?
A. Compared with the western countries, Chinese wines have a long way to go.
B. The Golden Triangle is known for its wines and related industries.
C. Wuliangye’s pre-tax profit accounted for nearly 6.25 billion in 2008.
D. The liquor production of our country in 2008 is about 5,6 million kiloliters.

The climate of any place is the kind of weather. It usually has over a long period of time. The houses we live in, the clothes we wear, the foods we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live.
Climate is pattern that is not nearly as simple as we think, and it is affected by many factors. The distance to the North or South Pole or to the equator really matters a lot. If you live near either of the poles, you live in a cold climate, for the place where you live does not get as much or as direct sunshine as a place farther away from the poles. In places close to the equator, the climate is very hot, for they are the parts where the sun shines almost straight down.
Whether rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the climate. In hot, dry deserts, little rain falls, but in a hot rain forest, the amount of rainfalls is far larger than that in a desert, for there is a heavy rain almost every day, even several times per day. Though a rainforest and a desert may be the same distance from the equator, their climates are rather different from each other.
How much rain or snow falls are considered by some to be determined by the winds, the surrounding mountains and the currents(水流) in nearby seas and so on. In short, it is a very complex natural phenomenon.
65．This passage mainly talks about .
A．weather B．different climates
C．climate and its determining factors D．the difference between weather and climate
66．From this passage, we know climate and weather are and climate is .
A．almost the same; the general term of weather
B．quite different; the average weather conditions at a particular place over a period of time
C．not the same; included by weather
D．very much alike; bigger and weather is smaller
67．The difference of the climates between a tropical（热带的）desert and a tropical rain forst affected by .
A．the amount of rainfalls
B．the winds and the surrounding mountains
C．the currents in near seas.
D．how much sunshine the two different places can get
68．From the context, we can guess that the word “complex” is and it .
A．a noun; means a simple thing
B．an adjective; means being easy to understand
C．an adverb; has almost the same meaning of “rather”
D．an adjective; means being difficult to understand

Right and Wrong
Suppose you work in a library, checking people"s books as they leave, and a friend asks you to let him steal a hard-to-find reference book that he wants to own.
You might hesitate （犹豫）to agree for various reasons. You might be afraid that he"ll be caught, and that both you and he will then get into trouble. You might want the book to stay in the library so that you can read it yourself.
But you may also think that what he proposes is wrong -- that he shouldn"t do it and you shouldn"t help him. If you think that , what does it mean, and what, if anything, makes it true?
To say it"s wrong is not just to say it"s against the rules. There can be bad rules which stop what isn"t wrong -- like a company rule against criticizing the boss. A rule can also be bad because it requires something that is wrong -- like a law that looks down upon black people in hotels and restaurants. The ideas of wrong and right are different from the ideas of what is and is not against the rules.
If you think it would be wrong to help your friend steal the book, then you will feel uncomfortable about doing it" in some way you won"t want to do it, even if you are also unwilling to refuse to help a friend. Where does the desire not to do it come from? What is its motive （动机）behind it?
There are various ways in which something can be wrong, but in this case, if you had to explain it, you"d probably say that it would be unfair to other users of the library. They may be just as interested in the book as your friend is, but read it in the reference room, where anyone who needs it can find it.
These thoughts have to do with effects on others -- not necessarily effects on their feelings, since they may never find out about it, but some kind of damage. In general, the thought that something is wrong depends on its impact （影响力）not just on the person who does it but on other people.
77．The following may be the reasons why the librarian dos not want to help his friend except that
A．he is afraid that his friend might get into trouble.
B．he himself might get into trouble.
C．he believes it is wrong to help one’s poor friend.
D．he wants to read the book himself.
78．Why does the author give some examples of bad rules?
A．Because those rules are said to be strongly negative（否定）.
B．Because he wants to show that rules are not the criteria（标准）for judging right or wrong.
C．Because those rules are made in order to stop what is wrong.
D．Because he wants to support the argument that stealing a book is not a crime.
79．In the sentence “What is its motive（动机）behind it?” (Paragraph 4), “it ” refers to .
A．the “it ” in the phrase “the desire not to do it”.
B． “the desire” in the phrase “the desire not to do it”.
C．the idea of Paragraph 5.
D．the idea of helping the friend.
80．According to the passage, the author would judge what is wrong
A．by what is or is not against the rules.
B．by its impact on other people.
C．by one’s thoughts and feelings towards it.
D．by the kind of damage it does to othes.

Is it time to kick Russia out of the BRICs （金砖四国）? If so, it may end up sounding like a famous ball-point pen maker-BIC. An argument is being made that Goldman Sach’s famous marketing device（策略）,the BRICs, should really be the BICs.
“Is Russia really worth the name BRICs?” asks Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, in an article for Foreigh Policy. Aslund, who is also co-author with Andrew Kuchins of “The Russian Balance Sheet”, thinks the Russia of Putin and Medvedev is just not worthy of inclusion alongside Brazil, India and China in the list of future economic powerhouses. He writes:
“The country’s economic performance has fallen to such a weak level that one must ask whether it has any say at all on the global economy, compared with the other members of its group. I have just returned from Moscow, which is always dull around this season. For the last seven years, Russia has taken very few measures to improve its economy. Instead, the state has been living on oil and gas. ”
Economically, Aslund has the numbers on his side. The International Monetary Fund figures that the Russian economy will fall by 6.7 percent in 2009, while Vhina will grow 8.5 percent and India 5.4 percent. There is less of a case for Brazil, with a fall of 0.7 percent, but it is still doing far better than Russia.
But the BRICs are not just about economy. As is mentioned above, it is a marketing device to encourage investors to focus on the big promising players. From an investment standpoint, it could be argued that Russia is leading the BRICs. Its stock（股票）market is up 128 percent this year while around 80 percent is for the other three.
At very least, however, Russia’s economic underperformance and stock market outperfoumance does suggest it is indeed one of the group.
52．According to the passage, which country will enjoy the biggest increase in 2009?
A．China. B．Russia. C．Brazil. D．India.
53．According to Aslund, Russia shouldn’t be a BRIC partly because_______.
A．Russia’s economic performance is far worse than the other three
B．Russia’s leaders are not good at managing economy
C．Russia has taken effective measures to improve its economy
D．Russia will no longer attract investors from other countries
54．From the passage we know that ________.
A．Anders Aslund is working for the Russian government
B．Russia outperfoumed the other three countries in stock market
C．most people disagree Russia is included in BRICs
D．the BRICs would end up being the BICs sooner or later
55．The author seems to ________.
A．suggest it’s time to kick Russia out of the BRICs?
B．feel worried about the economy of the BRICs
C．think Russia is worth being one of the group
D．show disappointment to Russia’s economy

Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin，Bra smells of roses，and leisure（悠闲）is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes slow food and one of Italian cities that have joined the slow cities. In Bra, the population is 27，866. The town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic（有机的）. And as the movement goes well，the slow concept gradually spreads across Europe.
The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that it is good，but also that it can work. The Slow City Movement, which started in 1999，has improved local economies（经济）by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra，where unemployment is only 5 percent，about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are doing well，many with sales rising at a rate of 15% per year.“This is our answer to the world，”says Paolo Saturnini，the founder of Slow Cities.
France is in favor of slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model：short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive than those in the United States and Britain，and have been for years.
The mystery of French productivity has risen an Europe-wide debate about the advantages of working more slowly.
63．The church clock that is a half hour slow serves as a symbol of __________.
A．industrial development B．slow movement
C．global economy D．city growth
64．The low unemployment in Bra proves that__________.
A．the population is not large
B．tourism brings great job chance
C．the Slow City Movement is successful
D．the slow concept works well only in its birthplace
65．It can be inferred from the passage that__________.
A．British workers work longer hours than the French
B．French workers work longer hours than the Italians
C．Italian workers are less productive than the Americans
D．American workers are more productive than the British
66．The increased French productivity tends to__________.
A．favor a fast life style
B．throw doubt on slow economics
C．encourage a slow economic growth
D．confirm advantages of slow economics
