History is a society's memory and forms part of people's identity (身份). But Taiwan's government has proposed a change to their history. In the move their textbooks will separate the island's history from the rest of China.

By disconnecting the island's history from the mainland, the government hopes to create a stronger Taiwan identity.

Under new guidelines (方針) to be carried out in 2006, Taiwan has ordered high schools to change textbooks to create one book of Taiwan's history. At the moment their books cover the complete Chinese history. But following the new move Chinese history will be taught as part of international history. No longer to be included as part of Taiwan's history is the founding of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen. This event will be in the new international history book.

"It is a political attempt by Taiwan's leader Chen Shui-bian to make their education support Taiwan's independence", said Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.

This move has also received great opposition in Taiwan's schools. "The new outline (大綱) is too political and facts have been changed," said Yu Lin, the headmaster of Taipei Middle School. "It will confuse students' understanding of history."

"Who on earth should I think is the founding father of the ROC?" asked a student in Taipei. "Many famous people in history like Confucius(孔子) or Sun Yat-sen, who was considered 'father of the ROC' for more than half a century, should now be thought of as foreigners based upon this ridiculous logic.'' he said.

Many people have shown opposition to the move. "History cannot be changed. Mixing politics with our history means forgetting our ancestors," said Lien Chan, chairman of Kuomintang Party. "It will not do any good for the Taiwanese and only worsen cross-Straits relations."

41. What is mainly described in the passage?

A. Taiwan’s government has proposed a change to their history textbooks in 2006.

B. Taiwan authorities want to separate the island from the mainland.

C. Taiwan leaders want to make their education support Taiwan's independence.

D. Taiwan leaders try to confuse students' understanding of history.

42. What’s the excuse for the move according to Taiwan’s government?

A. To cut off all connections with the mainland.

B. To disconnect the island's history from the mainland.

C. Most of the Taiwanese do not welcome the textbook.

D. To create a stronger Taiwanese identity.

43. Which of the following is not included in the move?

A. Chinese history will be taught as part of international history.

B. The founding of the ROC in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen will be in the new international history book.

C. Sun Yat-sen will be considered 'father of the ROC'.

D. Many famous people in history like Confucius or Sun Yat-sen will be thought of as foreigners.

44. Which of the following doesn’t show the correct relation between the man and the opinion?

A. China’s spokesman: It is an attempt to make their education support Taiwan’s independence.

B. Headmaster in Taipei: The new outline will throw light on students’ understanding of history.

C. A student in Taipei: It’s ridiculous to consider some Chinese historical figures as foreigners.

D. Chairman of Kuomintang Party: The relation between the island and the mainland will become tense.

Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I take great pleasure in formally welcoming you and Madam Liu to Buckingham Palace on the occasion of your State Visit to the United Kingdom. You are certainly no stranger to the United Kingdom. This will be your second visit this year, and I also met Your Excellency when you visited as Vice-President in 2001.

It is now almost twenty years since I visited China. Since then China's development has caught the world's attention and admiration. It matters to all of us what kind of country China's people will build, what role they will play in the world of 'the twenty-first century, and how this will be sensed by others.

China's growth brings with it difficult challenges for you and your government, but also great opportunities. During her visit in September, The Princess Royal saw both the flagship cities of Beijing and Shanghai and the efforts of government and non-governmental organizations to reduce poverty in rural areas of Anhui and Gansu. I am delighted that China was able to join discussions earlier this year on poverty relief in Africa, sharing with the global community your own remarkable experience in this area.

In those twenty years, the world has changed too. When I visited China in 1986, we had no inkling that the Cold War was so close to its end and we knew little then of the significance of global warming. Now we are able to work together and in the international community to solve problems of environmental protection and sustainable (可持續(xù)的) development...

     May I now ask all our guests to raise their glasses and drink a toast:

To His Excellency the President of the people's Republic of China and Madam Liu and the Chinese people.

B. China is faced with both difficult challenges and opportunities.

C. China attended the discussion earlier that year whose topic was how to relieve poverty in rural areas of Anhui and Gansu.

D. China used his own successful experiences to help African people to reduce poverty.

51. The underlined word inkling means ____________.

A. slight knowledge       B. suggestion         C. impression         D. idea

52. The paragraphs which are left out probably talk about ___________.

A. the history of the two countries

B. things they disagree with each other

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive (重新體驗(yàn)) these experiences in nightmares.

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去), the effect of painful memories.

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.

They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病學(xué)) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特質(zhì)). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (倫理學(xué)家).

Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. "People always have the ability to misuse science," said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. "All we want to do is help people have better control of memories."

53. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. People often suffer from bad memories.

B. American researchers are trying to develop a pill.

C. Forget bad memories, and be happy.

D. The research has caused a heated argument.

54. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.

A. the new drug                              B. the research into the drug

C. the memory                             D. the chemical in the drug

55. Which of the following is not the opinion of the supporters?

A. The pill can erase all the memories in the past.

B. Some memories can ruin people’s life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.

C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.

D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.

56. Which of the following is not the opinion of the opponents (反對(duì)者)?

A. Our memories give us our identity.

B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.

C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.

D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.

       At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse. Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.

       What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One possibility is the fact that woman have greater career options. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the work force, but their options have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as“merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. Many high school students are actually being steered away from nursing, told by teachers that they are“too bright to be a nurse”.

       Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated(評(píng)估) that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.

57.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

       A.How nurses have been looked down upon.

       B.Why women have chosen many different jobs.

       C.What has caused nurse shortage.

       D.How teachers have influenced their students.

58.The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for        .

       A.not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the US

       B.introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students

       C.not asking the government to raise the nurses’ payment

       D.persuading the students not to be nurses

59.The author wrote this passage in order to        .

       A.describe the unequal treatment of women in the US

       B.warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problem

       C.tell us women’s free choice of jobs today

       D.call on women to choose different kinds of jobs

60.It can be seen from the passage that        .

       A.high school students think themselves too bright to be nurses

       B.women in the US have greater career choice than those in other countries

       C.of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly needed
