阅读理解     Raymond Schneider politely made his way through crowds of customers as he made for the candy
bins at Dylan"s Candy Bar in Manhattan. Since he was out of employment, Mr. Schneider, a
33-year-old designer, says he has become a person who always buys a lot of sweets every time he
shops for groceries.
"Sugar is comforting," he said. "There"s nothing more stressful than growing financial insecurity (不安
全感) everywhere."
     The recession (经济衰退) seems to have a sweet tooth. As unemployment has risen, Americans,
particularly adults, have been consuming (消费) growing amounts of candy.
     Theories vary on exactly why. For many, sugar lifts spirits dragged low by the economy. For others,
candy also reminds them of better times. And not importantly, it is relatively cheap.
     At Candyality, a store in Chicago, business has jumped by nearly 80 percent and the owner, Terese
McDonald, said she was struggling to keep up with the demand for Bit-O-Honeys, and Sour Balls.
Many big candy makers are also reporting rising sales and big profits (利润).
     "It"s not surprising." said Peter Liebhold, chairman of the Smithsonian Institution"s work and industry
division. "During the Great Depression in the 1930"s, candy companies stayed in business."1. Raymond Schneider was set as an example to show ________.   A. many Americans were jobless in the recession

阅读理解。                                      Commencement (毕业典礼) is a time for idealism.
     But economic reality is cruel everywhere; especially for new graduate. They have been told
repeatedly that a college degree is an open sesame(芝麻) to the global economy. But that"s not
necessarily so, according to new research by two economists at he Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Frank Levy and Peter Temin.
     It is true that people with college degrees make more money than people without degrees.
The gap has narrowed somewhat in recent years, which is disturbing. But the earning power of
college graduates still far outpaces that of less-educated workers.
     The bad news, though, is that a college degree does not ensure a bigger share of the economics
pie for many graduates. In recent decades Mr. Levy and Mr. Temin show, only college-educated
women have seen their income grow in line with economy wide gains in productivity. The earnings
of male college graduates have failed to keep pace with productivity gains.
     Instead, a huge share of productivity growth, which expands the nation"s income, is going to
Americans on the top of the income scale. In 2005, the latest year with available data, the top of
1 percent of Americans-whose average annual income was $ 1.1 million- took in 21.8 percent
of the nation"s income, their largest share since 1929.
     Administration officials, and other politicians and economists, often, believe that income inequality,
reflects an education gap. But Mr. Levy and Mr. Temin show that in the case of men, the average
bachelor"s degree is not enough to catch the rising tide of the global economy.
They argue that the real reason that inequality is worsening is the lack of strong policies that broadly
distribute economic gains. In the past, for example, a more progressive income tax and unions
promote equality. Positive measures have been eroding and new ones have not yet emerged, making
the income gap even greater.
     Mr. Levy and Mr. Temin conclude that only a new government policy can restore general
prosperity. That"s a challenge to the nation"s leader and today"s graduates. America needs them to
contribute to the development of the nation in global economy.1. The passage is mainly about that _______.A. there is a big income gap between female and male college graduates in America.
B. college graduates find it hard to find an ideal job after graduation in America.
C. research shows that American government should take measures to ensure income
     equality for college graduates
D. college degrees are losing value in America.2. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?A. The whole nation has enjoyed a big income growth with the growth of productivity.
B. Much of the total income in America has been gained by a few very rich people.
C. A small part of people in America have income increase.
D. Upper class Americans contribute most to productivity growth.3. The underlined word "eroding" in paragraph 7 probably means _______.A. being gradually destroyed by wind or rain    
B. gradually reducing power
C. gradually disappearing                  
D. gradually not suitable4. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. female college graduates have higher income than male ones.
B. female college graduates have benefited from some governmental measures to ensure 
    their income growth.  
C. income tax can grantee income equality.
D. new measures and policies have been taken to promote income equality.5. From the passage, some economists believe that the worsening income inequality is caused by ____.A. lower college degree of college graduates  
B. lack of proper governmental policies
C. gender discrimination        
D. underdevelopment of economy and productivity.

flew to Houston on Monday to advertise the benefits of offshore drilling at a national conference.
He told reporters before he left that he does not want to postpone drilling but to learn from the
accident off Louisiana"s coast.
     "What we do as Americans is that we find out what went wrong and how can we do things
better, " Mc Donnell said."I think that"s the spirit of American people."
     President Obama announced in March that Virginia will become one of the first East Coast
states to drill offshore for oil and natural gas.Companies could conduct exploratory drilling in
Virginia"s waters 50 miles off the coast late next year or early in 2012.

as lessen US dependence on foreign oil.
     A recent explosion and fire on an exploratory well in the Gulf (海湾) of Mexico left 11 workers
missing and dead.Crude oil (原油) has been leaking into the gulf since, inching closer to the coasts

阅读理解。     Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value . The concept
dates back to1623,when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed. IP rights protect
an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example. if somebody 
generates an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to
represent the idea or develop it further, he/she  must consult the original artists,
    who will normally be rewarded   financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights
were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing ,
but today, intellectual property rights are also enjoyedby those who create music, art and literature.
     In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a
technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet. Many years ago, if you
wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store;if a novel,from a
bookstore. In those days,IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain
intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs,films,books
and artwork,can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet. This practice has now
taken the world by storm,dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.1. According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to_______.A. those creating music, art and literature
B. novelists
C. engineers and inventors
D. those not receiving financial reward for their work2. What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?A. It makes IP rights harder to protect.
B. It sells songs and films.
C. It does not affect the way we understand IP rights.
D. It prevents the production of artwork.   3. According to Paragraph 2,what has "taken the world by storm"?A. Intellectual property rights.
B. The Internet.
C. Free downloading.
D. The large number of songs, films and books.   4. A possible title for this passage could be_______.A. A History of IP Rights
B. Ways to Protect Your IP Rights
C. The Present and the Future of IP
D.IP Rights and Our Attitudes
