a recent report by market research firm iResearch. China"s online game market generated revenue (总收入)
of 20.8 billion yuan($3.04 billion) in 2008, up 52.2% over the previous year. Over 80% of the revenue came
from big, multiplayer online games, with the rest generated from Web games and mobile games.
The overall market is expected to keep growing at an average annual rate of 20% in the coming five years.
And iResearch forecasts that the Chinese online market will be worth more than 68 billion yuan by 2012,
which will account for almost half of the global market by then. At present, U.S., China and Korea are the
world"s top three largest online game markets, making up about 29%, 27% and 21% respectively of the global
online game market, according to the report.
U.S. game companies derive a major part of their revenue from sales of games overseas. South Korea"s
online game industry generates half of its revenue from games in its home market. In China, however, most
of the money comes directly from its own game players. Negatively influenced by the global economic
downturn, both the U.S. and Korea markets will see a drop in game exporting, iResearch estimates.
In China, the enormous base and fast growing of online gamers will further boost China"s online game
industry, said the report. China is currently home to 55.5 million online game players, according to the latest
stats by the China Internet Network Information Center(CNNIC). In its report, iResearch found that figures
for gamers under 18 and above 40 grew at their fastest rate yet last year, though it didn"t disclose specifics.
B. China"s online game market increased by 20% in 2008.
C. China"s online game market will become 60% less in 2009.
D. US, China and Korea together account for 90% of the global online game market.
B. easily affected by the global economy
C. mainly based upon its home market
D. among the three largest online game markets
China"s online game industry?
B. A drop in game imports to China.
C. The global economic downturn.
D. The development of technology in China.
B. Gamers under 18 were one of the age groups which grew the fastest last year.
C. At present there are 55.5 million online game providers in China.
D. The statements of CNNC and iResearch are contradictory.

Company has officially announced the next big thing－a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes,
but actually repairs itself within a few days.
The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (弹性树
脂) that is able to heal minor (较小的) marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road
debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.
The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but
adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.
Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they"re
gone, there is no trace (痕迹) that they were ever there.
The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet
on whether more can be added after that period.
Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80
percent of all incidents.
But the complete auto-healing won"t come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes
the special paint adds about $100 US to the price of a car.
It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a
more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven"t been made yet, if it"s
a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well.
B. it beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect
C. car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes
D. marketing this paint in Europe is not under way
B. fade only in a few days
C. help to heal minor paint damage
D. reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent
B. name for one kind of paint
C. somewhere in Japan
D. a word standing for a car-dealer store
B. The paint might work better in summer than in winter.
C. The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the paint is applied.
D. The paint is very popular in Japan.
prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Here"s an example of why this is happening. You can microwave
a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won"t taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And
if you"re in that much of a hurry, you probably won"t take time to toast the bun. High-tech cooking saves
time, but it doesn"t make for better-tasting meals.
Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet. This has many
advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It"s also
more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and
magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you
read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.
Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For examples, most people use the phone or
e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the
Internet or the phone, you don"t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you
forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you word-process a homework
assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy
headings. However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don"t pay enough attention
to the actual words they are writing.
B. Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals.
C. High-tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you.
D. Handwritten homework is better than word-processed homework.
B. Easy come, easy go.
C. Every coin has two sides.
D. Learn to walk before you run.
B. Advantages vs. disadvantages.
C. Newspapers and magazines vs. television and the Internet.
D. Word-processing vs. handwriting.
together to celebrate... The people come in all 1 and sizes throughout the world. What do they 2 ? It
doesn"t matter.
The description above is related to 3 and celebrations all over the world; indeed, it may be a universal
way of looking at almost any celebration. Though the number of people joining in may 4 , the spirit of the
event is 5 to stay the same. The reason is that we 6 countless hours celebrating birthdays and other
special days to build
7 between one another.
Holidays and celebrations bring people 8 . When people celebrate something, they ignore prejudice and
9 their shyness; celebrations bring people together 10 of who those people are. 11 on serious occasions
where we remember past tragedies or the 12 of a loved one, friends and family-and sometimes even
strangers -- come together to remember and 13 one another.
Different celebrations involve different emotions (情感) and qualities, from 14 to dancing. The important
thing is not that we are throwing a party, but rather that we are coming together as one 15 and one world,
to celebrate together.
Even in ancient 16 , celebrations were used to bring people together. The Ancient Greeks had the
Olympics, which helped bring 17 among warring countries and states. The Greeks actually laid down all
of their arms during the games! In an ancient era (纪元) where war was extremely common, it is 18 to see
the power that the Olympics had on warring parties!
Indeed, such is the case today as well. All such holidays make us forget the troubles we 19 and allow us
to be happy and experience the peace that is required to improve and help the world.
If only we held 20 every day...

| Do I really need a helmet just to ride to class? First, ask your physics professor what can happen to a head dropped from the normal height where you ride, say about 5 feet up, when it hits the walkway? He will tell you about the forces the head can experience from that drop height. Bike helmets are tested in a two-meter drop, a little higher, but that five feet is all the force you need to mess up your brain. You don"t need forward speed at all, although it can make it worse. Then think about accidents that happen when you ride on campus. Have you had near-collisions (碰撞) or actual collisions with pedestrians as the students change class? Do you ever hurry to get to class and take little chances? Have you ever seen a patch of ice or sand on a campus sidewalk? We would bet that you know more risk factors than we do. And what do the statistics say? There are 800 people killed on bikes, and a half million, more or less injured, in the US every year. Nobody keeps track of how many of those were on a campus. But we do know that you are making a major investment in yourself for a lifetime of good returns. People with head injuries can remember how much more they were able to do mentally before the crash, and that hurts long after other parts heal (愈合). The effects can last forever. At your age you are just beginning to realize how much pleasure in life comes from being experienced, smart and educated. You don"t want to take a chance with that. It means a lot to you. Helmets are cheap at Wal-Mart or Target, and the cheap ones work fine if you fit them carefully. It really won"t mess up your hair much in a short ride. Give it a try. | |||

| A. to introduce a way to protect one"s head B. to remind students to wear helmets while riding C. to persuade students to buy more helmets at Wal-Mart D. to warn students against bicycle riding because of danger | |||

| A. they will meet with an accident sooner or later B. the brain will be protected during an accident C. their hair will not be messed up in a short ride D. they will have to fight against the students from other classes | |||
| 3. In paragraph three, the writer mainly wants to tell us that _____. | |||
| A. riding bicycles is too dangerous B. the traffic on the campus is often out of order C. the number of bicycles on campus should be limited D. it is difficult to avoid accidents while riding bicycles on campus | |||

| With many job postings(公开招聘) now requiring candidates (应聘者) to apply via e-mail, first impressions are made not with a handshake but with words on a computer screen. Just like it"s usually a good idea to dress best for an interview, e-mails also should be refined. _____, here are some tips: ☆Forget what instant messaging has taught you. Recruiters (招聘人员) report that young professionals often send overly casual e-mails, treating an application like an instant message (IM). When using IM with friends and acquaintances, it"s acceptable to use shortened forms of words or phrases and incomplete sentences. In business correspondence (信函), however, stick to the rules your Chinese and English teachers taught you. ☆Don"t be cool. Your lovely e-mail background of pets playing with each other has got to go. Comic fonts (字体) are unprofessional. HR managers (人力资源经理) recommend plain fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial, and black text on a white background. They also warn against sending e-mails from strange addresses. Littlebird@ or Chinatiger@ might not get what you hope for. ☆Don"t be too creative in the subject line (标题). Use plain, simple language like "Talented candidate seeking position as [name of position]" or"Enthusiastic candidate seeking position with [name of company]". Use one word to describe yourself, but do not go to extremes. The same rules apply to a paper resume (简历) and cover letter. Recruiters have only seconds to devote to each cover letter they receive. Many look at just three things: the positions you"ve held, the companies you"ve worked for,and your educational background. Anything else, such as a long story about yourself, can get in the way. | |||
