space walk the year before last, you"d think China would be happy. _____. That, at least, is the opinion of a
new book written by a group of Chinese authors.
     China Is Not Happy was published in March,2009.It is a fol low-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No,
a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West and the US in particular, on China. Thirteen years
later, the authors of China Is Not. Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world
today.
     They argue that China needs to use its growing power and eco nomic resources to build its own position
of preeminence (卓越). "From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this
world." the book says.
     The authors single out the US for special scorn (轻蔑)."The economic problem has shown the Chinese
people that America does have problems, that what we"ve been saying is right," said one of the authors.
     The book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores. Yet much of the response to the book has
been negative. Several re- views in the Chinese media have criticized the book"s radical (激进的) opinions. The
book is a way to" fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the
China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism (爱国
主义),but there is a limit.
      In her blog she wrote,"If we are to bully (欺负) other countries, take the world"s resources and try to lead
it, we"re going over the top." 1. List three great achievements that China made in 2008 based on the text. ( Please answer within 20 words. )

3. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the fol lowing one?
     Ancient China was advanced and it was Chinese who created developed civilization, so we
      Chinese should be the leader of the world.

     阅读下面短文,第1至5题表述了Anna, Smith,Wilkins, Crick和June在自己的生活及学习中遇
到的问题,他们需要你的帮助,请从A.B.C.D.E和F中为其选出最合适的建议。选项中有一项是多
余选项。      1. Anna: I get really frustrated easily, and sometimes I end up yell ing at people I love. I"m not very sure
why it happens, but I have no control over it. How can I stop?
     2. Smith:Some kids are making fun of me because I"m doing very well at school. Isn"t that something to
be proud of? I need advice.
     3. Wilkins: I am not sociable. I am really shy, and I am already a freshman in high school. I have some
new friends, but I am still shy to the cool kids. Can you help me, please?
     4. Crick: I always say what I feel immediately and without thinking. Sometimes I get in trouble for it or
feel sorry about it later. Is speaking your mind a good or a bad thing?
     5. June: I love to read! But I don"t have any time to read because of all of my activities. I don"t want to
quit anything. What should I do? A
     Instead of feeling upset, you should definitely be proud of your- self. Intelligence is a quality that everyone
wants, and as you get ol- der it"s going to be what people love and respect about you. Still water runs deep.
I"m sure as time goes by, some of those kids making fun of you might realize how cool you actually are.
B
     Everyone has to learn how to adapt to society and mix socially with others. No man is an island, as the
saying goes. To become a so- ciable person, you must be naturally friendly. Besides, do something for a social
situation. A teacher once gave me this great advice: Pre parea conversation in your head before going into an
uncomfortable social situation. It sounds like a lot of work, but it"s easy and it works! Get involved in activities
that interest you and you will make new friends fast.
C
     Always keep a book with you so that you can read during pock- ets of free time. Turn some of your TV
or computer time into reading time. Read for a little while right before bed, and find time to read on weekends.
Also, talk to your parents about your schedule. You might not want to quit anything, but you might need to
find more free time in order to have a happy balance in your life.
D
     That feeling is your conscience, and it"s telling you that you need to confess what you did. Be brave and
tell your parents. Even if they get upset when they hear about it from you, they would be even more upset to
hear about it from your friend"s mom. So pick a quiet time and say. Mom, Dad, I need to tell you something,
but I"m a fraid. Then spill the beans. No matter what they say, you"ll be re lieved not to have this secret any
more. 
E
     First, identify what is frustrating you, then learn to calm your- self down. The next time you start feeling
frustrated, stop what you"re doing and breathe deeply. Count to ten. Get up and walk around. Clear your
mind before you come back to the frustrating task. If you keep a cool head, you"ll be less likely to snap at
others. And if you do yell at someone, apologize and admit that it"s not that person"s fault. Then calm down
and try again.
F
     Speaking your mind can be a really good thing. Far too many people don"t, except when talking about
someone behind that person"s back. However, there are times when honesty does more than good like when
a girl asks if she looks fat. So in situations in which there"s no real good, you are better off keeping your
thoughts to yourself. In situations in which that is not the case like when your brother asks if his breath stinks
feel free to tell the truth. Just be prepared to take it in return.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。      Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs, but as we climbed the steps of
evolution with giant leaps, we somehow left behind common. sense and logical thinking-we forgot that we
have stopped thinking ahead of times.
     If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?  1   But
it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your favorite star and many such absurd
things. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we
all sometimes think " What happens next?" " Why can"t I think?". Well this is the aftermath of using our brain
for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
      Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. Now why reading and not
watching TV?    2    Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take advantage of reading.
You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions.    3    
Now this seed is un- knowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many
times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest
dreams! This is nothing other than creativity. The larger number of books you read, your mind will open up
like never before. Also this improves your speaking skills to a large extent and also makes a sig nificant
contribution to your vocabulary in writing.    4    
     Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly.    5   So
guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you
waiting for? A. Soon you will find no difficulty employing the right words when speaking.
B. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
C. I am still on the path of improvement to satisfy my thirst.
D. Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry.

F. Within no time you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.
G. Because watching TV too often will make you a" couch potato".

阅读理解。     A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker. One percent of all peo ple interviewed said: "YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, rai sing his voice for
impressive effect." But I can tell you, only a small part of that I percent are telling the truth."
     I"ve met colorful people like Wang all over China. They are cynical (玩世不恭的 ) yet warmhearted, plain
spoken but smart. And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.
     Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China"s most important
natural resource. Their en- ergy is powering China"s economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of
the world"s factory.
     But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends:" When I grow up
I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
     Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life. It"s been
happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it"s outdated. Earning 1,200 yuan,( $169)
per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it"s not a dream career.
There should be better ways to earn your rice.
     Many modern factories no longer have production line workers. Robots do the assembly (装配). People
just do the monitoring. In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder,
why are people still standing in production lines?
     But life is cheap in China. So why not continue to make use of the low-cost labor situation and keep the
economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.
      But have these businessmen ever labored in a factory? 1. How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers? A. One percent.
B. Only a small part.
C. Only a small part of that one percent.
D. The writer didn"t mention it. 2. Which is NOT the writer"s opinion of factory workers? A. Cynical.
B. Unimportant.
C. Warmhearted.
D. Plain spoken. 3. The writer uses _____ to begin the passage. A. a lot of figures
B. many examples
C. some dialogue
D. the result of a survey

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后面的字数要求)。       [1] If you are a recent social science graduate who has to listen to jokes about unemployment from your
computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science
major because this hightech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good
      [2]There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example,
a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater man agerial success than
those who had technical training or preprofes sional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most
sui ted to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high pressure, hightech world we now live in.
     [3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are
also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large per centage of their
entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢
迎的) quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as"very important" by 92
percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they
are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.
     [4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained
classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don"t regret their choice of study. 1. What"s the main idea of the passage? ( Please answer within 10 words. )

     Do you wake up in the morning dreading the moment that your feet have to hit the floor for you to get
ready for work? If that"s the case, join most of Americans. Very few people wake up to that an noying alarm
clock and spring out of bed excited about having to go to work.
     As if that were not enough, most of us have to fight traffic get- ting there, usually an hour"s drive. Then,
when we get to work, we have to fight with unruly co-workers or a nagging boss. And to make matters worse, you have to fight the same traffic going in the oppo site direction just to get back home.
     Making dinner, fixing plates, eating and then straightening up afterwards is a job within itself. If that sounds
like your life, you probably have a J-O-B. You know what J-O-B stands for? Just Over Broke, that"s what!
With a job, most Americans are living pay- check-to-paycheck and hating every minute of it. I know because
I was doing the same thing: trading time for money. And, I came to a conclusion that it stinks (糟糕透了)! Big
time!
     Looking around at my co-workers, friends and relatives, I saw that they were all doing the same thing I
was doing. They were com plaining about the same things I was complaining about: not having enough time
or money. And, I decided that I wanted to do something different.
     So, I started a home-based business. There are several to choose from. The extra income has done so
much for our family. We can vacation more. We have been able to give more. And, we"ve e ven been able to
do something calling save! It"s been amazing.
     Therefore, if you"re sick and tired of being sick and tired, it"s time you make a change, too. The definition
 of insanity (疯狂) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I know you aren"t
stupid. If you continue to do what everyone else is doing: trading time for money, you"re going to keep getting
what eve ryone else is getting: being broke and not having the time to do what is really important to you.
     Do your due diligence? Find a home-based business that works well for you. Go to work, and live the life
you"ve always imag ined!
