BEIJING – Alarmed by the overreaching ambitions of many Chinese provinces to grow at all cost, China’s top economic chief is calling on officials to calm down and spare a thought for the environment.
Zhang Ping, who heads China’s National Development and Reform Commission, the central economic planning agency, said only five or six of China’s 30 provinces are targeting annual economic growth of 8 percent or 9 percent.
The remaining provinces are aiming for growth rates of more than 10 percent this year, with some wanting to double economic output in the coming five years.
“China has a planned energy supply of about 4 billion cubic tons of coal equivalent (等量的) for the next five years, and this is not enough to meet demands for economic growth to double,” he was quoted as saying on the news portal Sina. com.
Beijing is increasingly concerned with the ambitions of Chinese provinces across the country to chase high growth despite the central government’s urgent request for a more moderate and sustainable (可持續(xù)的) pace of expansion.
Years of rapid economic growth have taken a toll on China’s environment, with Beijing trying to remove some of the damage now. It has an annual growth target of 7 percent for the next five years, well down from last year’s 10 percent.
Zhang said Beijing has asked local governments to take into account the supply of “energy, environment, water and land” to set more reasonable growth target.
小題1:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The supply of the coal in China is not sufficient for the next five years.
B．Zhang Ping is an expert and economic chief from www. sina.com.
C．Few Chinese provinces are aiming for economic growth rates of less than 10%.
D．Many Chinese provinces are alarmed by Beijing.
小題2:The underlined phrase “taken a toll on” in the sixth paragraph means “_______”.
A．improvedB．done damage toC．restoredD．a(chǎn)ttached importance to
小題3:The general idea of the whole passage can be that _________.
A．China’s economy is increasing at a fast speed.
B．China’s top chief lays more emphasis on the environment
C．economic high growth should go hand in hand with environment concern.
D．a(chǎn)ll Chinese provinces should slow down their economic growth rates
小題4:What could be the best title for the news?
A．Economic Development B．Energy Supply

試題分析：本文敘述了我國絕大多數(shù)省份制訂的年度經(jīng)濟增長指標讓有關(guān)部門和人士憂心忡忡，環(huán)境、能源等問題日益突出，不可等閑視之，可持續(xù)性發(fā)展是解決之道。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的后半部分提到在中國的三十個省份中，只有五六個省份把年經(jīng)濟增長率目標定為8%和9%，由此可知比重很小，第三段的前半部分提到剩余的省份都把今年經(jīng)濟增長率目標定在10%以上，由此可知C項內(nèi)容正確。煤炭供應(yīng)不能滿足隨后五年需要的假設(shè)是經(jīng)濟增長翻倍，故A項不恰當。故選C。
小題2:猜測詞義題。根據(jù)畫線部分后面提到北京現(xiàn)在正在努力消除一些危害，由此可推斷畫線部分短語表示“帶來破壞”。故選B。
小題3:主旨大意題。本文是一篇新聞報道，第一段是文章的中心段，過度渴望發(fā)展的同時，應(yīng)該冷靜下來考慮環(huán)境問題，由此可知經(jīng)濟的快速增長應(yīng)該與環(huán)境保護同步進行。故選C。
小題4:標題歸納題。既要保持經(jīng)濟增長，又要考慮環(huán)境、能源、水、土地等問題，以確定合理的增長目標，因此必須采用可持續(xù)性發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略。此外，倒數(shù)第三段的后半部分也是線索提示。故選D。
點評：標題歸納題時還要遵循三個原則，即注意題的醒目性、概括性和針對性。醒目性——我們所判斷的標題如果放在文章的最前面，應(yīng)該能使讀者一看到標題就對其內(nèi)容發(fā)生興趣，即，吸引讀者的眼球；概括性——指標題應(yīng)最大限度地覆蓋全文，囊括文章的主要內(nèi)容，體現(xiàn)文章的主題；針對性——我們所選的標題不能偏題，必須指向具體文意，因此也應(yīng)具備強烈的針對性。

In a generous display of maturity and sympathy, one Jewish boy made his first deed as a man in his faith a great act of charity.
Joshua Neidorf, a 13-year-old boy from Los Angeles, donated most of his birthday money to Operation Mend, a program that reconstructs the faces of severely burned U. S. veterans（退伍老兵）.
The young man decided to donate his money after getting to know Army Sgt. Louis Dahlman, who was undergoing a series of reconstruction surgeries（手術(shù)）at UCLA （University of California at Los Angeles） thanks to Operation Mend. The Neidorfs had signed up to be Dahlman’s “buddy family”, spending time with him whenever he visited Los Angeles for a surgery.
“I just love knowing that it’s going somewhere...to help the people who save our lives and keep us safe every day,” said Neidorf. His mother added, “It makes me feel like our world is going in a good direction with this next generation.”
In all, Neidorf gave $13,000 to Operation Mend. He also encouraged his friends to donate to the cause. He is the organization’s youngest donor so far.
Operation Mend is a privately funded program that works in partnership with the UCLA Medical Center. Ron Katz, a board member at the hospital, started the program in 2006 after seeing a TV programme about Aaron Mankin, a veteran who had gone through dozens of surgeries after a fight in Iraq which completely burned off his face.
Mankin ended up being Operation Mend’s first patient, starting the first of 20 reconstructive facial surgeries at UCLA in Sept. 2007. In a 2011 interview, Katz shared how his experience of helping Mankin made him realize the need to establish a more permanent program.
“My wife and I soon realized that there were dozens of Aarons out there,” Katz said. “They deserve the best that we offer them.”
小題1:Neidorf decided to help veterans because ________.
A．he benefited from Operation MendB．he was afraid of burned faces
C．he thought they deserved helpD．he didn’t know how to spend money
小題2:Operation Mend was founded after ________.
A．Neidorf donated part of his birthday money
B．the Neidorfs signed up to be Dahlman’s “buddy family”
C．Ron Katz saw a TV programme about a veteran
D．Mankin was successfully operated on at UCLA
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A. Neidorf’s mother was opposed to his decision to donate money.
B. Mankin’s face was burned in a fire in America.
C. Mankin went through more than 30 facial surgeries at UCLA.
D. Many facial surgeries are needed to reconstruct a seriously burned face.
小題4:The last two paragraphs mainly tell us ________.
A．the process of Mankin’s surgeryB．how Operation Mend was set up
C．how Katz became famousD．veterans are respected by people

The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can’t achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Ben’s two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿）by an eagle eyed publisher. They were self-published, at the cost of $400 by Ben’s parents.
Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”
The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Ben’s father, Ken, said Ben’s ambitions “weren’t to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that you’ve done something.”
Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.
小題1:Which of the following is true of Ben?
A．He has achieved something unusual for his age.
B．His self-published books were well received.
C．His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.
D．He was thought little of by the public media.
小題2:What makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works?
A．The rapid increase of online readership.
B．The increasing number of publishers.
C．The immediate access to marketing agencies.
D．The development of printing and publishing.
小題3:Why do some parents pay the self-publishing bill?
A．They want to offer opportunities to their children.
B．They want to give encouragement to their children.
C．They want to help their children avoid hardship.
D．They want to show love and care for their children.
小題4:What dose Alan Rinzler suggest that children should do?
A．Be forbidden to write books
B．Start writing at an early age
C．Be professionally guided
D．Learn from experience
小題5:Why do some children self-publish works according to the last part?
A．Just to achieve their dreams.
B．Just to earn more money.
C．Just to gain self-confidence.
D．Just to satisfy their parents.

BEIJING - China's railway rates for freight and passenger transport will continue to be set by the government, announced a senior official with the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China's top economic planner, on Friday.
Cao Changqing, head of the NDRC's department of price, said that the country will continue to implement government-set or government-guided prices for the railway sector after the China Railway Corporation (CRC), a State-owned company that takes over the commercial functions of the former Ministry of Railways (MOR), went into business on March 17.
Cao said the railway sector, constituting China's main public transport facilities, is a key basic industry. Its pricing scheme is concerned with both the sector's normal operation and development, as well as the daily traveling and vital interests of the general public.
The state will be very cautious in making any price adjustment in the railway sector, taking into account various factors including operation, construction, public acceptance and coordinated development with other modes of transport, according to the NDRC official.
Under Chinese law and regulations, hearings will be held before adjustments in the basic passenger train ticket fare, Cao said.

As Apple tries to maintain its growth and success in China, the world's largest smart-phone market is becoming even more critical. Apple's shares(股份) fell sharply as the company's earnings for the holiday quarter through December disappointed investors.
The sales of the iPhone, which include both the iPhone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts' expectations, while the company's income plan for the second quarter was below analysts' forecasts, though Apple is known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.
Som'6 analysts have said that for Apple to regain its growth, the company.needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for China, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. In China, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on Android(安卓) operating system, sold by many Chinese phone makers as well as South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co.

Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is working on a lower-end iPhone that could launch as early as this year. But one possible challenge for Apple in China is that low-pricod Android-based phones are getting better in terms of quality. A report from CLSA in late November showed that many smart-phones sold at about 1,000 yuan ( $160) came with higher-reso-lution screens, better cameras and more powerful processors than phones at that price did a year earlier.

A newly-wed couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami.
Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms. Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most tremendous tonadoes in the nation's history. From there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others. "Trees were being knocked over and big branches were scattered across the streets," Mr Svanstrom told Sweden's Express newspaper. "We escaped by the skin of our teeth," said Svanstrom.
They then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped raging bush fires. The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude 6.3 earthquake destroyed the city on February 22. Mrs. Svanstrom said, "When we got there the whole town was a war zone." "We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan." But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan's largest earthquake since records began. "The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr. Svantrom said. "It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth."
The family returned to Stockholm on March 29,2011 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China. But Mr. Svanstrom, who also survived the destructive Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004, said the marriage was still going strong. He added, "I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think we have been through most of them." "We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy." Mrs. Svantrom added: “ To say we were unlucky with the weather doesn’t really cover it! It’s so absurd that now we can only laugh.”
小題1:How many countries did the couple visit during their honeymoon?

小題2:What's the right order of the following things according to the passage?

As computers become more and more popular in China, Chinese are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(筆畫) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use computers.
It's faster and easier to correct the mistakes if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being used more and more often in modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”        
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”              
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to type on a computer, why bother to write by hand?       
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. Besides, handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can  learn one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression.” 
To encourage students to write more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.  
小題1:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?           
A．The Importance of Typing
B．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters
C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D．To Type or to Write by Hand
小題2:The students interviewed prefer to type on a computer mainly because_______.
A．they can correct the mistakes quickly and conveniently
B．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C．they find it hard to remember how to write a character
D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true about advantages of handwriting?
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B．Handwriting can impress people well and build their self-confidence.
C．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.

Tabb doesn't look like a typical music teacher. But every weekday evening in the French Quarter New Orleans, he beats out the rhythm on his music stand as students play their chosen instruments.
“I'm doing my best to take young people away from harmful things,” said Tabb. His program,  "The Roots of Music”, offers free music education to more than 100 students. He struggles to keep young people on the straight and narrow in the city with the nation's highest murder rate(兇殺率).
Tabb chose to target 9­to14­year­olds with his program. “That's a very important time in your life,” he said. “If I catch them then, I can hold onto them for at least four or five years and guide them the way that will lead them to success.”
Students meet from 4 pm to 7 pm every weekday, all year round. They work with tutors(助教) on schoolwork, practice their music and eat a hot meal before heading home. With the money provided by some people, Tabb's group is able to provide bus transportation, instruments and food for free. He calls it his “no excuse” policy. “You have no excuse why you're not here,” Tabb said. Tabb owes the success in part to the nature of music. “You're always learning something new,”he said. “That's what keeps the kids coming back every day.”
But the program isn't only about fun. “Music is about discipline (紀律),”said Tabb. He insists on good behavior and keeps kids in order with threats of sit­ups(仰臥起坐), pushups(俯臥撐) or tasks like picking up grains of rice — but these measures aren't just punishment. Tabb wants young people to realize that music can help them build a better future. “I don't say that I'm saving lives,” he said. “I say I'm giving life — a whole different life of music.”
小題1:The underlined phrase  "keep young people on the straight and narrow” may mean ________.
A．keep young people standing straight
B．keep young people on the correct life track(道路)
C．keep young people busy performing music
D．keep young people away from the dangerous parts of the city
小題2:Which of the following kids may NOT be included in Tabb's program “ The Roots of Music”？
A．Jack, 8 years old.B．Tom, 9 years old.

小題3:What attracts children to join in the program to learn music?
A．The free food and transportation.B．The famous music teacher.
C．The chance to learn new things.D．The strict discipline rules.
小題4:By saying “music is about discipline”, Tabb means ________.
A．keeping discipline is more important than learning music
B．obeying(遵守) rules is important in playing music well
C．music is also connected with kids' grades
D．kids can learn how to behave through music
小題5:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Tabb's program offers young people help.
B．Kids improve grades through music learning.
C．Tabb offers kids free food to learn music.
D．Tabb performs music for street children.

Taking children to school on time doesn’t have to be a battle against the clock. Here are some rules for you to follow.
Lay out children’s clean clothes the night before. Who wants to be looking through unsorted clothes for three pairs of matching socks at 8:00am? Just have the clothes you know they will wear and the food they like ready and waiting. It makes life easier when you can’t spare the time in the morning.
Allow time for yourself. Whether it’s a hot shower, a cup of coffee or five minutes’ peace, leave yourself enough time. This doesn’t include “Just five more minutes” in bed, which will often turn into oversleeping followed by mayhem.
Stick to a routine. Make sure your children know what you expect from them every morning and stick to that routine, whether it’s that they should be fully dressed before breakfast or that they should brush their teeth straight afterwards. My personal top tip for the easiest way to a pain-free morning is no TV the night before.
Keep calm. If the bus is late or you have forgotten where you parked the car, or if you are late, don’t get angry and blame the children. Every one has such a bad morning. But if your children are often late for school, it’s up to you to start a more organized morning routine.
小題1:The passage is mainly intended for __________.
A．parents
B．teachers
C．students
D．early birds
小題2:The underlined word “mayhem” is closest in meaning to __________
A．the bad habit
B．the sleeping hour
C．some preparation
D．some trouble
小題3:What’s the author’s first choice to have a pain-free morning?
A．Have clothes ready in advance.
B．Allow enough time for peace.
C．Get dressed before breakfast.
D．Don’t watch TV the night before
小題4:How many rules are mentioned for your reference in the passage?
A．FiveB．Four
C．ThreeD．Two
