Hundreds of students from around the world gathered in New York City last week for the Microsoft Imagine Cup finals. They came to present their ideas for using technology to solve world problems.
Microsoft education director Suzi Levine says the nine-year-old program began mainly as a competition to create technology.
SUZI LEVINE: "When we realized that students really actually want to have a purpose for what they're creating, we introduced the idea of inspiring them with the UN Millennium Development Goals and suggesting that they use those for their muse(靈感). "This past year we also rolled out something called the Imagine Cup Solve This library（創(chuàng)新杯求解計(jì)劃知識庫）, where IGOs, NGOs and nonprofits can submit some of the technical challenges that they would like students to consider for their solutions."
Microsoft says over 350，000 high school and college students registered for this year's competition. Judges chose more than four hundred of them to attend the finals.
SUZI LEVINE: "One from Thailand was called NewKrean, where they created a Windows Phone 7 application that allows you to broadcast your location to your social network of friends so that you can be more easily rescued." They named their application Terra.
Suzi Levine says there were also ideas from Egypt inspired by the revolution that overthrew president Hosni Mubarak in February.
SUZI LEVINE: "One was to use Bluetooth as sort of a Twitter equivalent so that if the government shuts down the Internet, you actually can still have a massive social distribution."
Students competed in nine categories. For example, in software design the top prize of twenty-five thousand dollars went to Team Hermes from Ireland. The students developed a device for cars to collect information on road conditions, driving behavior and traffic incidents.
A team from Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University won first place in the embedded（內(nèi)嵌的） development category. They developed a network of wireless devices to help plot the safest escape routes during a fire.
Next year's awards ceremony will take place in Australia. Registration for Imagine Cup twenty-twelve opened Friday. Also, Microsoft announced plans for a three million dollar program to help Imagine Cup winners further develop their projects.
【小題1】Which of the following is true ?

A．The program is sponsored by Microsoft.
B．Next year, the awards ceremony will be held in New York City.
C．Any high school or college student can attend the finals.
D．The initial purpose of the program is to solve world problems using technology.
【小題2】 What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A．The UN offers great help to the program.
B．Microsoft sets up a library for the students who want to achieve their goals.
C．IGOs, NGOs and nonprofits also provide help for the students.
D．Microsoft takes effective measures to inspire the students.
【小題3】What does the underlined word “overthrew ” in Paragraph 6 mean ?
A． AbandonedB．SupportedC．Drove awayD．Overturned
【小題4】What can we know from Paragraph 7?
A．They want to replace Bluetooth with Twitter.
B．They want to combine Bluetooth with Twitter.
C．They want to replace Twitter with Bluetooth.
D．Twitter can still be used without the Internet.

A new study shows one of the largest glaciers(冰川) in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected. If it continues, Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet.
The rates of change that we’re noticing are much higher than expected. If these rates continue, it is not likely that Greenland could shrink by several tens of percent this century. However, it’s not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice.
Greenland is the world’s largest island, covering area more than three times the size of Texas. Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice, and there are many glaciers. Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice. Where a glacier meets the sea, its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom. A glacier’s front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats.
Since the 1970s, the front of Helheim stayed in the same place. Then it began melting rapidly, moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer. It has also grown thinner, from top to bottom, by more than 130 feet since 2001. And over these past years, its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110.
The melting is driven by a warmer climate. Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit(華氏溫度) in the last ten years. Since most of Greenland’s ice is on land, seas will rise as the ice melts. If all Greenland’s ice sheet melted, oceans would be 15-20 feet higher. Nobody expects that to happen any time soon.
【小題1】What can we know about the glaciers according to the passage?

A．Glaciers only lie in Greenland.
B．Water in glaciers is more than sea water.
C．Glaciers sometimes float on the water.
D．Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes.
【小題2】According to the passage, we know that Greenland ___________.
A．belongs to Canada
B．is the largest island in North America
C．is all covered with glaciers
D．is sinking under the sea level
【小題3】Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers?
A．The climate of the world will be warmer.
B．The glaciers in other areas will be bigger.
C．It will be easy for explorers to visit the island.
D．Some coastal cities may be under the sea.

Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The Boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”
“What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)員） and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠軍） there.”
The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway （恍惚的） look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read: I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛腳的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.
Your son,   Herbie
【小題1】The underlined word “drop” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ________.

A．fallB．closeC．punishD．sell
【小題2】 It can be inferred from the text that Champ is_______.
A．Watson’ s sonB．Mr Smith’ s son
C．a(chǎn) teacher of Mr Smith’s sonD．the son of Mr Smith’s friend
【小題3】From the text we know that Herbie_______.
A．was a college studentB．didn’t live to grow up
C．made friends with many boysD．died from a car accident
【小題4】Watson was given a second chance because_______.
A．Mr Smith wanted to help Watson’s son
B．a(chǎn) man was needed in another department
C．Herbie told Mr Smith to do so in his letter
D．Mr Smith wanted to realize his son’s dream

Nearly 600,000 Americans lost their jobs this past month, pushing the nation’s unemployment rate (失業(yè)率) to 7.6 percent. But not all of those fired workers are sitting at home, reading the job advertisements and waiting for the phone to ring. Thousands of people are returning to school, making public colleges and universities among the few bright places in the disappointing US economy.
At a time when many Americans have had their work hours cut or have even lost their jobs, Sherian Huddleston is working overtime. She works at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) where she oversees (監(jiān)督) the enrollment (注冊) of new students. The university’s population grew by 800 students this term —an increase of 4 percent over last spring’s enrollment. Huddleston says seeing the enrollment rise in a failing economy is not unexpected. "When people are out of work," she points out, "they will ask 'What else can I do?’ or 'What other careers can I follow?’ They will often return to school if they have not completed a degree before."
Older returning students aren’t the only ones increasing the enrollment at MTSU. Huddleston says she’s also seeing an increase in student transfers (轉(zhuǎn)移). "Students who went out of state, or even within the state, to more expensive schools are transferring to public schools to make use of the lower cost of going to school here," she explains.
【小題1】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．The Falling American Economy
B．College Enrollment up in a Down Economy
C．Colleges Have More Students Than Before
D．Going to College Is No Longer Difficult
【小題2】According to the passage, many students return to school ______.
A．to make more moneyB．to read job advertisements
C．to complete a degreeD．to ask their schoolmates for help
【小題3】Many students are transferring to public schools mainly because ______.
A．public schools provide better education
B．public schools offer better jobs to their students
C．they don’t want to be influenced by the falling economy
D．the cost of public schools is lower and they can save money
【小題4】Which of the following is TRUE about Sherian Huddleston?
A．She is working more hours than before because of the worsening economy.
B．She is a student of Middle Tennessee State University.
C．She disagrees with those who are returning to school.
D．She is surprised to see the enrollment go up.
