KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNN) - Nepal has given its security personnel permission to shoot pro-Tibet demonstrators during China"s Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest"s summit early next month.
"About 25 soldiers and policemen have established camps on the mountain and they have been ordered to use force if necessary to stop any anti-Chinese activities," Mod Raj Dotel, spokesman for the home ministry, said Sunday. "This could mean shooting if necessary."
Security personnel will also check mountain climbers for non-essential expedition materials, Dotel added.
"If anyone is found with anti-Chinese material their permit will be canceled and returned from the mountain," he said.
Chinese climbers plan to take the Olympic flame to the top of the world"s highest peak, at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet) as part of the global relay leading up to the August 8 opening of the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Spring is the most popular season for climbing Mount Everest, which straddles(跨越) the border between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.
The Nepali government has given permits to dozens of climbers from 30 expeditions this season.
But between May 1 and May 10, climbers are barred from going above 6,400 meters until the torch run is completed. China plans to take the Olympic flame to the summit sometime then.
Bad weather conditions allow only about two opportunities in May for a push to the summit.
The Chinese have not allowed any expedition to climb the mountain from the north side, according the Kathmandu representative of the Tibet China Mountaineering Association.
Almost every day in the past month, Nepalese police have arrested pro-Tibet protesters from in front of the Chinese Embassy and the United Nations offices. The demonstrators are released later in the evening. 
Supporters of Tibet punish the government"s attitude toward the autonomous region, and many believe China should not have been awarded the honor of hosting the Olympic Games.
Earlier torch relay stops in London, England; Paris, France; and San Francisco, California attracted tens of thousands of demonstrators. They led to attacks on the torch and relay participants, and prompted police to make dozens of arrests.
Subsequent stops in Argentina, Tanzania and Oman were trouble-free.
In Pakistan, authorities closed the relay to the public. And India shortened the relay and kept thousands of anti-Chinese protesters at bay by sealing off roads and shuttering buildings along the route.
The relay went smoothly in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday, amid heavy security and scattered protests along the route.
The flame arrived in Malaysia on Sunday. About 1,000 police officers will be on hand to watch for protesters during a relay in the capital city Kuala Lampur Monday.
61.When will China"s Olympic flame probably reach Mount Everest"s summit?
A.April 28        B.May 12        C.June 10        D.May 7
62.The underlined word “barred” means_____________.
A.permitted     B.stopped       C.encouraged    D.introduced 
63.How many times Climbers can reach the top of the mountain at most in May?
A.once               B.twice   
C.three times            D.as many times as they can
64.Where did the torch relay meet no trouble?
A.India          B.Nepal     C.Tanzania          D.France
65.What is the attitude of the Nepali government towards towards China"s Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest"s summit?
A.negative          B.positive         C.ambiguous            D.Indifferent

Americans love sports – they love to play them, to watch them on television and to talk about them. But this hobby sometimes has serious results – at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow and in this way they develop “tennis elbow”. Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injures happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.
A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad and didn’t know what to do.
Then Simmons learned about “video operation”. With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injures and get people back on the playing field and back to their jobs much faster. Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors told her the operation could help.
For this operation, her doctor didn’t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens(镜头) inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.
Simmons started walking five days after her operation. “My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “It feels like a new knee,” she said. “I can even play volleyball again.”
41. “Tennis elbow” means ______.
A. tennis players are easy to hurt their elbow when they play tennis
B. the elbow is suitable for playing tennis
C. all the players should use elbow to play tennis
D. don’t hurt your elbows
42. “Video operation” is ________.
A. a kind of new science in medicine      B. a kind of new TV program
C. a kind of new radio      D. a kind of new lens
43. Although people love sports, many players suffer from ______.
A. injures      B. operations   C. results D. illness
44. A patient ______________________.
A. could make an operation himself with the help of screen
B. could see the inside of his knee on the TV
C. could put a very small camera lens inside his knee
D. would become better soon after the “video operation”

You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you’ll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.
Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客)all devoted to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things.
They also provide the reviews of hostels(旅店), hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.
This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.
64. The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that __________.
A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook
B. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city
C. it provides lots of useful information about your destination
D. it can help you save time and money when traveling
65. People criticize the guidebook because __________.
A. it is not as useful as most travelers expect
B. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route
C. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures
D. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence
66. What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?
A. It’s a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.
B. It’s very useful to a person who’s nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.
C. It’s very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.
D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.
67. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①—⑦ stand for Paragraph 1
—Paragraph 7 )
A. ①            B.  ①                C. ①                D. ①
②                 ②③  ④                ②                ②   ③
③④   ⑤⑥⑦         ⑤        ⑥⑦        ③④⑤  ⑥⑦       ④⑤      ⑥⑦

Now that the recession(经济衰退)is most likely over, it’s time to start looking at which companies, institutions, and individuals developed well during this unpleasant period. In the downturn that began in December 2007, the recession ruined the wealthiest cconsumer markets—the united States, Europe, Japan—there were very few safe shelters. But some countries, such as Peru, managed to grow right through the global recession. And some companies arranged their business so that they resisted the contraction and benefited from the trends affecting their industry. Some even managed to bring more business.
Chief among the Great Recession’s winners is McDonald’s. McDonald’s sales growth in 2008 was greater than in 2006 and 2007. while many restaurants reduced their business operation, it opened nearly 600 stores in 2008. and the chain has achieved same-store sales growth in each of 2009’s first seven months.
In 2008, after a decade of severely trading up to higher quality consumer goods and services, Americans began to trade down with a vengeance(报复). McDonald’s, which has 44 percent of its 32,000 stores in the United States, was set up to profit from trading down in two ways. Fist, in a recession, people eat out less and at home more frequently. And when they eat out, they eat at cheaper places. McDonald’s is so cheap, efficient, and convenient that it was a practical alternative to casual restaurants like Ruby Tuesday.
In the United States, McDonald’s may be a cheap source of calories in food. In other parts of the world, McDonald’s is an appealing brand, identified with middle-class, westernized consumerism. Much of the world, such as China, India, is still not developed for the Golden Arches. Coincidentally, these are the right places where its business has continued to grow during the global recession. While it faces operational challenges in markets, McDonald’s has benefited form a weakening dollar and rising incomes in Asia.
The question now for investors(投资者)is whether McDonald’s can survive the recovery.
When people feel better-off, will they still stop by? The growth in same-store sales in the United States has come down a little in recent months. And there’s a rising amount of the population that has grown accustomed to eating healthier and better. Going forward, McDonald’s may face larger cultural barriers in the United States than in China.
72.From the passage we can infer that__________in the recession.
A.the developing countries grew wealthier
B.the rich countries became unable to recover
C.the Western companies suffered a great loss
D.the opportunities were brought as well as challenges
73.McDonald’s managed to remain popular in the recession mainly because of       .
A.its good operation              B.the American food culture
C.its low price and convenience  D.the weak value of dollars
74.The underlined word “contraction” in Paragraph I means         .
A.formal written agreement       B.influence on industry
C.disappointing management      D.process of reduced trade
75.What can be the best title for this passage?
A.Who Won the Recession
B.Who Traded down in the Recession
C.How Western Business Survived the Recession
D.How McDonald’s Kept Growing after the Recession

Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES, a column in a newspaper:
Dear Ariel,
I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits.Even the work environment is cool.But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends.I know it"s important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground, but I"m scared of the idea of having nearly no free time.I still need to find a girlfriend.So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?
Amoretto
Dear Amoretto,
I have two things to say: First, you"re lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many qualified people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can"t figure out your work-life balance until you"re actually working.
Take the job.You"ll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money.If you"re given a contract (合同), make sure you understand the terms before you sign.Ask your boss how many hours a week you"re expected to work.If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you"re working, you"ll be in a better position to talk to them about it.
Give your work 100 percent.Work energetically and efficiently.If you"re dedicated and focused, you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time.Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power.Finally, remember that taking a job doesn"t have to be a life commitment.Try to give it at least a year (two is better).If you"re really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom.By then, you"ll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings.Good luck!
Ariel
60.From Amoretto"s letter, we know that he __________.
A.has been working for a long time      B.is likely a green hand
C.expects to change his job                D.is quite satisfied with the job
61.How can a man arrange his work-life balance according to Ariel?
A.By taking a training course.              B.By asking people for advice.
C.By comparing with others.              D.Through his own work experience
62.All of the following are advised byArial EXCEPT__________.
A.understanding the terms before signing
B.working hard and efficiently
C.getting a better position                    
D.doing the job at least a year
63.What does Ariel advise to do in the reply?
A.Take the job offered.                     B.Give up and find a new job.
C.Depend on your feeling.                  D.Choose jobs with great care
